A LOOK AHEAD.

It has recently been announced by q seisn-
tifc gentleman that this country would have
population of over 1000, 1000 In 1880.
But now arises another scientific gentleman
Professor Silas L. Loomis-and points out
some things which are likely to interfere
with the growth Of population here. One Of
the variable elements in the problem is i'm
migration. The professor looks to see this
great influx of aliens gradually dwinale and
at length practically cease altogether. he
says: Heretofore we have enjoyed almost an
exclusive monopoly of the dow of immi-
grants, but more liberal laws and freedom
of action showing itself among other people,
The Free State of Congo will be a powerful
competitor against us, and indeed the whole
continent Of Africa will offer Inducements
that will be beyond our ability to present. 1t
would not be an unexpected result to find
the smigrants exceeding the immigrants.
Another element to be considered 10 the
eusly smaller for century past, which
shows (sccording to the professor) ga most
wonderful decrease of vitality in the people
Of the United States" The decrease, he
thinks, may be expected to continue In the
coming century, and for these reasons:
We must consider man as . machine sup
piled each day with given amount of sner-
gy. The law of the correlation of forces ap-
plies here a. well n elsewhere. A man may,
then, expend his energy in various ways.
He may increase his vitality or develop
great physical strength, or display great in
tellectual power. As he has only q given
stock Of energy each day, and, as a general
rule the intellectual forces predominate In
this country in the strife for money and
fame, he has no supply of energy left for the
growth and activity Of his vital functions.
This is as true Of women as of men, and IL,
perhaps, sooner seen in the female. The en-
larged requirements of social life and the
great effort of woman to do mems work In
all professions of life will most certainly de-
press the birth ratio, because her stock Of
energy will be all used up in the struggle
for competition. This Is already seen in all
the older States OF the Union, and is well
known by the medical profession.

dull and dead with mist and fog. II was
difficult enough for the steam launch to find
its way through the darkness and the weeds,
and more difficult still for the oarsmen to
follow the ftful lights. However, they all
reached Ifaey Lock at 1911, where the local
oarsmen had prepared pretty show OF Chi
nese lanterns.
Day began to dawn when Cleeve Look was
reached at SOL. The day that broke SO
beautifully over the misty river proved true
to the very end. Mapledurham was timed
at 6:27, Caversham at 7:15, when the captain
ordered a wash and the crew enjoyed a hear-
ty breakfast. Cookham at 1855, after en-
countering that dreadful ''dead noser" in
Cookham Reach, which was anything but
pleasant. Boulter's Look was reached at
1927, and here, after the CHEEKY greeting at
Bourne end and the prospective welcome at
Maidenhead, occurred the first disaster. Mr..
Grenfell, who was now in his own waters, 80
to speak, and within sight of Taplow Court,
was attacked with violent muscular pains
and contraction below the breast bone. It
was kind of muscular cramp. and the pain
had to be endured on and off from that point
to Putney. The hands had all stood fairly
we'll. ALI the oarsmen rowed in gloves, and
when blisters came they were seftened down
with Jumps of cotton wool. But netwith-
standing incipient cramp and irritating Bills
ters, on went the oarsmen, encouraged by
the hearty and sympathetic cheers OF Maid
enhead, till. plucky as ever, they timed Bray
Lock at 1862, and sensibly repaired to the
cabin of the steam launch for a hearty
luncheon. Darkness came on spaoe as the
unaaunted crew toiled on in the cleaning to
Teddington, the last Of the locks, which was
reached at $40. Every oarsman was still fit
to row for his life. but the menotony of the
journey provoked lassitude, and at last the
muscular cramp pains at the base Of Mr..
Grenfell's chest yielded to a treatment of
amateur massage, with the aid OF q lotion of
pure brandy. Once Kew was passed their
energies revived again. They were on their
old battle ground. They had arrived at the
ship at Mortlake; they were passing Barnes.
Once more they were going under Hammer
smith bridge, with no crowds on the shore,
and only the stars to witness them, but once
the lights of Putney came il sight on they
went at racing pace. With few strokes
they passed the launch, and as the cleok
struck half past ten stepped upon the aceus-
toned shore of Putney. The average row.
ing was nine minutes to mile, and, as a
rule, thirty strokes minute.
AS has been said before, they were none
Of them ''done" when they landed. They
could have gone on rowing to Westminster
or Gravesend for the matter of that, but
they were heartily sick of the dull, dead mo-
notony of the task.

A ROW THAT WAS A ROW.

Three Old University Men Row From
oxford to Putney, Ono Hundred and
Ten Miles, Within Day-The Long.
est Test OF the sliding Seat Used.
From the London Standard.l
A feat of excellent endeavor and dogged
endurance was performed ON the Thames
yesterday that deserves to be chronioled. It
was once argued, and 1t has since been
wholly disproved, that severe training in
youth makes manhood suffer severely for 1t.
Well, here are three well known University
oarsmen, who had not in any way prepared
themselves for the task, rowing from the
University barge at Oxford to the Leander
Club house at Putney, one hundred and ten
miles, hindered by innumerable and unfore.
seen obstacles, In exactly twenty-five hours
and half to the very second.
1t is feat hitherto recorded to the famous
waterman, Lord Kilmorey, and to another
equally enthusiastic aquatic nobleman. It
has been done when there were no locks at
Bray and Boveney, and when q terrific
stream almost like millrace took the boat
on its wild career between the wooden banks
of Cliveden and the historic playing fields Of
Eaton. It has been done by men who have
trained for the purpose, and in longer time
than was taken yesterday. It has been done
with couriers on horseback to open the looks,
and with nothing whatever to impede the
slow and silent progress.
They had decided to row the course ia
what was called half outraged gig, with
sliding seats-the first time such thing has
ever been done on long journey, and with
three pairs Of sculls. Mr.. Lehman rowed
stroke, Mr.. W. 81. Grenfell was No. 2, and
Mr.. Holland took the bow. In this order
they started and finished. All were in fair
ly good condition, but none in thorough
training. They had not prepared themselves
for the trip In any way whatever-in fact
Mr.. Grenfell has scarcely touched an oar for
over two years. They were steered from
start to finish by an Oxford waterman.
They were accompanied throughout the jour
ney by steam launch, which was OCCASION
ally boarded In order to take their slight
meals, to snatch few seconds rest and to
satisfy themselves with the ripe fruit, which
they one and all enjoyed more than any
thing else as stimulant during their long
voyage.
The clock struck midnight as they started,
amid hearty congratulations from Oxford
folk, and they rowed as strongly and in as
| good form as in the old university days.
| But It was dismal and uncanny COM
1 meneement. There was no moon visible

General Topete, who has just been ap-
pointed governor of Lower California, is
most distinguished soldier. He has won for
himself high name in military circles, and
there is not braver man in all Mexico. He
is about fortY-6ve years Of age. He made
himself famous at the attack on the City of
Mexico by the rebels, and for his bravery he
was promoted from colonel to general. he
was the hero of the battle of Tecoae, the fa-
NOUS engagement between the troops of
Lerdo and Diaz. Although he was repulsed,
he fought with mere handful of mon until
the last moment, and was the hero of the
battle. He is brave and good man, mod
est, quiet and retiring in disposition, be-
loved by the soldiers and the people.
It is hard to prevent lovely woman from
trying to make herself still more lovely. A
prison is not provided with all the toilet oon-
veniences that most women like, but some of
the female prisoners in the California state
prison have lately shown that a little femi-
nine ingenuity can supply the want Of them
reasonably well. One woman whose hair was
always we'll dressed and shone with the luster
of the finest oils was complete mystery to
the other women until she revealed the fact
that she skinned the fat from her soup, and,
letting it cool, applied 1t as hair oil, for
which the attractive state of her hair showed
it was admirably adapted. Another woman
was no less mystery to the prison keepers
for her rosy cheeks, which unmistakably
showed the presence of rouge. It was after
ward discovered that this glow of youth was
impaired by the eolering matter which she
obtained by chewing the red yarn used in
the prison sewing.

THE DRUmmEK,s LATEST TRICE
Don't Pick tho Stray Thread from his
Coat Unless You wants to be Laugh

ed At.
[Frem the Lewiston Journal
The drummer always brings the latest
trick. Here it is.
Thke a spool of white basting cotton. Drop
1t into your inside coat pocket and threading
a needle with 1t, pass 1t up through the
shoulder Of your coat. Leave the end an inch
or so long on the outside of your coat and
take off tie needle. Four men out Of i've
try to pick that whole thread off your shoul-
der, and will pHll on the spool until it actu-
ally does seem as though your clothes are all
hastings and that they were unravelling not
only your clothes, but yourself.
81 was in to see Wilson Barrett in sOlaud-
IAN in Boston last week." said the travelling
man. "1t was in the most interesting
and pathetic portion of the play. Everybody
was rapt. was sitting bolt upright, and
didn't know or care to know soul around
nae, when suddenly felt some one tugging
at that basting cotton that myself had clean
forgotten. didn't gay word and did not
move. Foet by foot it unrolled. Half glauo-
ing around I saw a mana total stranger
yanking at that thread. His face was scarlet.
He had pulled out about ten yards and was
now hauling in hand over hand. He didn't
dare to step because he had decorated my
back and the whole aisle with basting cotton.
He hardly dared to go ahead, for he didn't
know what portion of my domestic interior
economy he was trifing with. Ripl Ripi went
the thread. Hand over hand he yanked 1t
in. The aisle was full of it. For Heavens
sakel will 1t never endr said he above his
breath. sat perfectly still and ran the spool
while he pulled. How wanted to yell. L
never saw anything in my life half 80 funny.
The whole section of the house got onto 1t.
They didn't know whether to laugh at me or
him, and some looked on amazed at the spec
tacle. At last the stranger gave one frantic
rip and yanked out about eleven yards On one
bunch, and as the cotton got twisted around
his watch chain, over his eyeglasses, in his
very hair and filed his lap, I turned around
producing the spool from my pocket said:
am very much obliged for your interest and
very sorry that u,isled you. You see have
about one hundred and twenty four yards
left, but presume that you don't care for any
more tonight. am honestly sorry. but
can't help smiling
"The man was a modest sort of gentleman
in appearance. His face was as red as fire
to his ears. He looked at me then at the
spool. He changed color once or twice, and
then as the crowd caught on big laugh went
up right in one of the painful passages of
'Claudian,' and the gentleman who had in
tended to pull that thread off Joined in the
laugh and said, will square that up on
my wife when get home; but, my friend, I
swear TO heaven that did think at one
time that I was going to undress you where
you sat-
