Good Advice to English Visitors.

FROM the new 1Ork Herald.
Don't feel hurt if porters and servants
and such folk don't touch their hats to
you when you give them orders. They
don't mean to be disrespectful. You
can buy civility, but not serviIity here.
This is a country where everybody
hopes to rise some day. Don't imagine
that you can't be exclusive on your
travels. If 1t is essential to your hap
piness that you should not mingle with
the vulgar herd you can have whole
railroad car to yourself, provided you
pay for it. Don't make the mistake of
surprising that because you are an En-
glishman there will be any general rec
ognition of your superiority to all who
have the misfortune to belong to other
nationalities. Such ought to be the
case, of course, but have patience, there
are lots of things that we have not yet
learned.
Don't, theref fore, be deceived because
you may meet some young men who try
hard to say "Don-cher-know" just like
you do. and stare hard at people
through an eyeglass and wear London
made clothing. They are simply idiots,
who are allowed to be at large because
they occasionally give us something to
laugh at. Don't imagine, either, that
the girls you meet ale all in love with
you because they converse freely with
you and don't appear shy and bashful.
1t is simply their crude way Of making
themselves agreeable. They'll know
better some day. Please don't stare at
them. 1t may be sign OF aristocratic
breeding at home, but it is considered
vulgar here.
Don't criticise things more than you
can help il you desire to make yourself
agreeable. OF course there is only one
right way of do ng anything, and that
is the English way. but Americans have
will some day. Meanwhile it will add
to your popularity during your sojourn
here if you do not insist upon stating
the fact, say, oftener than once every
half hour

had increased to 5 ,30S, 4S3 in 1909, 7,239,-
$50 in 1910, 1928, S22 in 1920. and - 1885,
600 in 1880. In 1910 we numbered IL
069, 453, in 1850, %, 19l ,876, and in 1850,
81 ,443, 32l. The rate of increase was
highest in the decade ending 1910, when
it reached 36.3S, and the lowest in the
period comprising the four years of the
war. Except for that period, also, the
gain has been steady.
When will we reach the enormous fig
ure of round 10O,000,000? Barring war,
famine or deadly and widespread
plaques, it should be before another fif-
teen years have passed. Assuming the
rate of increase to be 333 per cent. from
1900 to 19G0-and it will certainly be no
less than this-our population in the lat
ter year should be more than sc, 000,O
Five years later it should be 100 100000.
or more than that of any other country
on the globe, with the three exceptions
of India and the Chinese and Russian
empires.
It is customary to view such large
gains in population with some appre-
hension, but the experience of our first
century does not justify this. Those of
the immigrants who do not come with
any patriotic purpose are soon taught
that nonsense won't be tolerated long,
and with few exceptions they soon mend
their ways. In the cases of those born
here there is no trouble. They are for
the stars and stripes by intuition.

MOnotony in Moustaches.
From the London Truth.

When moustaches and snaven
cheeks were few in this country | held
my peace, but now that they have be-
come universal [ venture to PROFOUND
the respectful inquiry whether this be a
kind of facial decoration which really
suits the Anglo-Saxon countenance? My
idea is that a thin. pale dark man looks
well with moustaches and shaven cheeks
especially if he have a nose Of some sort.
But as nation, there are, of course,
honorable exceptions, as Tor example,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer) we
have no nose to speak Of and our cheeks
are, for the most part, fat and red, and
our eyes are not at ali fierce and roman
tic, but light colored and usually mean
ingless.
Now, whether this cast of countenance
is suitable to the brigand style of facial
hair-growiDg is a serious question. I
venture to suggest that a jury of matrons
or, rather, OF maidens, should forthwith
be impaneled to try the matter out. OF
course. if Angelina and her mother
really think that Edwin, who is a bank
clerk, looks his best disguised as des-
perado. there is an end to the matter;
still, [ can't help that this universal
fierceness is becoming monotonous.

Great Irrigation Works.
From Industries.


The Russian government decided
about year ago to commence some ir-
rigation works near Merv. for the pur-
pose of rendering the crown lands more
suitable for the cultivation of cotton,
and during the period which has since
elapsed the first part of the scheme has
been completed. A dam-30 feet high
has been built across the river Murg-
hab, in the Merv oasis, at distance of
fifty miles from the village of Sultan
bund, and the vast quantities of water
which are collected in this manner are
being distributed to the surrounding
country by means of a network ofsluices
and canals. It is confidently expected
that the continuous irrigation of the
lands will be insured throughout the
severest droughts. 1t appears that the
Russians are intending to do their ut
most to develop the crown lands in this
district, as they are establishing a num-
Der of meteorological and other stations
for the collection of information as to
the temperature, moisture and rain

Tipping Walters.
From the New York Graphic.

FROM Lne New 1Ork GrApn1c.
Talking recently with Happy "Tom"
Gay, the. head waiter for twenty-five
years at the Fifth Avenue..Hotel, he told
me of an incident about tipping which
had drawn out a remarkable statement
from the late Charles Delmonico. An
old customer of the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
who had been served for years without
giving single tip to a waiter, became
enraged one morning because he
thought he was not properly waited
upon and took apartments on Fifth
Avenue with the intention of eating at
Delmonico's. In two or three days ev-
cry waiter in the establishment knew
that there were no tips forthcoming
when he was served, and the result was
that the old gentleman found himself
ignored and sighted constantly. He
complained to Delmon;co himself. The
latter called up the various walters of
whom the customer complained, and
asked them what was the matter. The
walters very promptly stated that they
did not care to wait on a man who was
SO illiberal- Mr.. Delmonico dismissed
them and then said to his guest: "It is
question with me whether [ shall let
you GO or let my best walters 90. I can
better afford to let you go. 1 never sit
down to a table myself, either in my
own cafe or elsewhere, that | do not fee
the waiter"

The Next Census.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
By the time the next census has been
taken it is expected that our population
will have reached the enormous aggre-
gate of "a ,476, 0G0 souls. E. B. Elliott,
aCtuary OF the United States Treasury
DEPARTMENT, says it will number 81, 90U,-
600 persons on the first of June next.
The rate of increase as given by him
would swell this enormous number to
about g., 100000, perhaps 5,OOO,0 00 in
June, 1899. These figures are
enough to make even the most careless
citizen think.
Since the outbreak of the last war our
population has more than doubled
This is the more remarkable in view of
the terrible slaughter on the field, and
the obstacles to increase offered by the
war. But the percentage of gain. which
fell from 35.l1 in 1860 to 22.65 in the
decade ending ten years later, took an
upward leap in 1880, stopping at 3O08.
1t will be greater for the decade ending
next year.
The growth of the nation has been
marvellous. From puny people of less
than 100000 souls in 1873. widely scat
tered and distrustful of each other, we

we were on the open plain outside Den

My escort shook the reins, clucked per

which the horse reared and kicked
viciously, but still we were stationary out
on that lonely sandy level. My elegant
