One Hundred Year. HcGes.

What will our population be? WHO
shall say? The United States to-day
contains over 60;0O0,O00 people, who in
crease at the rate of about % per cent in
every decade, SO that Mt the close OF the
next century the increment would have
run up to total of not less than 400,
900, 600 sotils. Take the population OF
all the other states and countries us like
ly to come Under our sway, and another
400, 900, 600 Will bc easily added. In the
year of our Lord 1000, and the, year oil
! the independence of the United States,
the 224th, it will be no longer the
United States of North America, but
the United States of North, Central and
South America, and the then president
will then Issue the Thanksgiving day
proclamation to nearly thousand mil
lion people. The mind fails to grasp
our industrial and commercial expaii'
sion at that day; the wonderful progress
in the arts and sciences, the tremendous
energy with which enterprise after en-
terprise will be conceived and made a
reality. And then congress, just think
what congress will be then! But, stop!
Better not think. When we content

the idea of what it will be with 1000 is
simply appalling. Petersburg (Va.) In

How To Read q Jury.
New York Times.

New York Times.
Officials in criminal courts who
take the trouble to make q study of
jurors can usually tell just what sort
of a verdict u jury will give us soon
as it's members return after deliberat-
ing upon II case. There is always
something i'll their faces which indi-
Gates to the experienced eye whether
the verdict is guilty or not guilty.
"This man is going to be acquitted,
sure" said and old court officer in
general sessions as jury came in
with a verdict in all important case
u few days ago. You see, about
every man in the box turned his face
to the defendant as soon as he took
his seat. That's IL SIRE sign. l never
knew it to fail. When the verdict is
for conviction the Jurors invariably
keep tn If eyes on the judge or on
the ceiling. Members of IL convicting
jury often seem to find it very diff
cult to look upon the prisoner, even
when the clerk instructs them to do
SO. suppose the explanation of it
is that with most people it is a hard
matter to infiict pain even on q
guilty man.

How She Told the Latest Joke.

Mrs. Jason came nome the other
evening with her face "wreathed in
Smiles" as the novelists have it,
"Well, what are you grinning at?'
was the cordial greeting of her Lord
and master.
II heard something funny down
town." she answered. well what is
it?''
ooh, nothing much. l happened
to meet little Johnny Figg, who used
to keep the, apple stand across the
way, you know, and he's got bet
ter one down townnow. Iasked him
how he was getting along and he
says to me, ooh, Pm still keeping a
stand, you see.' l thought it was
the cuteat thing l had heard. for a
good while"
"Oh, you did, did you, Maria? II
! ever see where the laugh comes in
I'll try and smile, even if / have to
get up in the middle of the night to
do So" was his crushing reply, to
which she deigned no answer.
About two o'clock in the morning
Mr.. Jason was awakened from a
dream of being stabbed by n masked
assassin to find his wife enargetically
nudging him below the fifth rib.
"Jehiel, | had that wrong" she
twittered, in tone of one who had
made a great discovery. Johnny
said his business was at n stand still.
You see the point now, don't you?"

man in no gracious tones, land if

"And he didn't laugh. either as he

formed.-Terre Haute Express.

Chinese Horrors;

The Peking Gazette gives a horrible
story from the official report Of the
governor Of Yunnan IF the burning
to death Of d farmer of thatprovince
for stealing an ear of corn. 1t seems
that during the Yunnan rebellion d
law was passed making thefts ofcorn
fruits in the field an offense punish
able by burning to death. The vic
Tins relatives were required to sign
a document declaring they agreed to
the penalty, and were forced to light
the fire to bar them from bringing a
damage suit. This horrible practice
the authorities have tried to extir-
pate, but vainly. A. few months ago
in harvest time, d farmer named
Peng Chao Sheng; while going to
watch his field, plucked an ear Of
corn from a neighbours field. He was
seen and being shouted at dropped
the corn. The matter was referred
to the owner of the field, and he,
with his tenant, seized Peng and de-
manded the death penalty. Peng's
mother offered to make restitution
by FORGETTING all her property, but
this was refused. She was forced to
give her written consent under
threats of death, and was actually
made to light the heap of brushwood
and witness the terrible dying agon-
les of her son. AS soon as she could
escape she reported the crime to the
authorities. The two men were ar
rested and tried. The landlord was
punished ny the lingering process
that is, his flesh was hacked with
knives until he slowly expired in aw.
full torment, the farmer, who lost the
ear of corn, being beheaded. There
is no question of these facts, as the
report is official.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Curtailed his Prayers.

The late Rev. DR.. Nathaniel Burton
of Hartford, was, says Connecticut
paper, a very unconventional man.
Some years ago he heard great
many complaints about the length
of his prayers. To settle the matter
he employed stenographer one Sun
day to take down his prayer. On
reading it over he was overwhelmed
with astonishment at it's length, and
determined to shorten it thereafter.
Speaking of the matter afterward, he
said: ut seemed II sacrilege to me,
when people began TO animadvert on
the length Of my prayers; but they
kept on NIL the same-never harshly.

INVITATION.

Come when spring touches with gentle finger
The SHOWS that liuger
Among the hills;
when to our homestead return the swallows
And in the hollows
Bloom datfodils.
Or, If thou tarry, come with the summer,

When noontide sunshine leafs on the meadow
A seat in shadow

Or, If it please thee, come with the reaping,
When to safe keeping :.
They bring the sheaves,
When autumn decketh with colored spiendoI
And pathos tender
The dying leaves.
Or come and warn US when winter freezes,
And northern breazes

With loving glances and close hAnd-pressings,
And :erveut blessings
That grow not old.

Poor People's Chance.

some years ago city missionary was
crossing one OF the parks in New York
ON the Sabbath day and said to lad,
What arc you doing here, breaking
the Lords day? You ought to be at
Church and worshipping God instead of
breaking the Sabbath in this way" The
poor lad in his rags looked up at the city
missionary and said: ooh, sir, it's very
easy for you to talk that way, but God
knows that We poor chaps amt got no
chance"
The sentiment seems to be growing that
in the United States the time has ar.
rived when ''the poor chaps don't have
no chance"
There is some truth in it, The poor
are not shut ont from making c liveii-
hood, but the gulf bett cen ricL es and

densely populated keen business compe-
tition decreases the chances for accnmrt-
lating wealth by ordinary business

True merit, in commodity or ability,

What n marvellous success has Mt

remedy for kidney diSease--Warncr's
Safe Cure. Hon. II. Warner first came
TO know of its curative power by beng

tors pronounced fatal kidney trouble.
He concluded the World ought to know
OF it and i'll the ten years since he began
its manufacture he has spent millions
of dollars in advertising the Safe Cure.
His methods have been ingenious
sometimes, perhaps, open to criticism,
but they had q purpose, which has been
accomplished.
But mark he never would have Sc

thus expended if the real merit of the
remedy had not been fully proven to
the millions of people reached by his

Ten years OF increasing success of
Warmers Safe Cure is due, first, to in
telligent and pleasing advertising, by
which the people were made acquainted
with the remedy. Second, to the true
worth of the remedy, proved by actual
experience, showing it to be, the only

peror is very obstinate and hot-headed,
and feels so aggrieved by the prince of
