When will the earth have all the
people upon it that it can accommodated
That is question which some sober
economists and Sociologists have lately
thought fit to take into serious consider
alton, bringing to bear upon it the light
Of statistical research.
Before the British Association for the
Advancement of Science, at its recent
meeting, Mr. Ravenstein, well known
stasisticlAn, estimated that, whereas the
total population Of the earth is now
little less than 1900, 900, 900, there is
room on the earth for very nearly 6,00O,-
e0o, 900 of inhabitants.
That is to say, when the space on the
Sarth available for the support Of human
beings is fully occur led, it will be found
capable of maintaining 4,500, 900, 900
more OF people than it now contains, or
four times as many people a. there are
now in the world.
This seems, at first glance, to be very
encouraging to the human race. But
Mr.. Ravenstein says it i not, because
the race In increasing, in these days Of
civilization, security, and easy exchange
among the nations, so very much faster
than it ever increased before, that this
nargin will be exhausted and the world
be full in little over 1e0 years.
By the year 2O7s, according to Mr..
RAvenstein's calculations, the earth will
have the COO, ,OOO,O Of inhabitants
who are all that there is room for, and
must a. It were, hang out the sign,
@Standing room only. Living room
there will be none.
Il IL interesting to know that there
were other men OF science present at the
meeting of the British Association,
when these figures were given out, who
aid not at all agree with Mr.. Raven
stoin's conclusions They insisted that

Old cola ane SILVER

Recently a reporter sat during half an
hour in gold rehner's Ofioe and saw
about a dozen people come in with old
gold and silver 10 sell. They represented
nearly every condition Of life, save the
moro prosperous.
The counter was screened like one in
bank. Behind it stood keen eyed
young man, who seemed to possess the
ability to determine the quality Of metal
at a glance. Two young men Of doubtful
appearance entered and offered for sale o
gaudy breastpin. The clerk glanced at
it and said:
PLATED; don't want it.
The young men left, and the clerk,
turning to me, said:
"We don't buy stolen property"
The next to enter was an old man, who
offered an old silver watch for sale. The
clerk took out the movement and then
tested and weighed the case.
"Eighty-six cents, said he.
"Whatl" almost shrieked the old man.
"Only SO cents? That's a swindle. Give
me back that case. Eighty-six cents for
silver watch case, indeedln And he
left in high dudgeon.
"Silver watch cases contain 20 much
alloy sometimes that there is very little
silver in them, and we value jeweky only
for the bullion we can get out Of it,"
said the clerk, in answer to my inquifing
look.
A young lady and half grown girl came
in. They were both richly dressed, and
seemed to be in good circumstances. The
young lady looked around modestly, and
then hesitatingly drew out Of handbag
an oxidized silver hairpln, thin bracelet
of the same material, and stin another
little silver trinket.
"What are these worth, please?" she
said, passing them to the clerk.
They were soon undergoing the tests
Of the truth telling acids and scales.
sFifty-four cents, ma'ana, said he.
"Oh, myl Is that an?' the woman
asked in a tone showing great disappoint-
ment. "Isn't that pin real silverf"
ayes, ma'aR, said the unsentimental
clerk; "but it's very light.
swell, give me the money, she said,
blushing. "We found 50 many pretty
things in the stores that we forgot to
save enough money for car fare" And
tossing the coin which the clerk gave her
into her handbag, shs left.
"Now, there is case, said the young
man. IF she had been Of the same sort
as a good many people shs would have
gone to a pawnshop. She probably
wouldn't have got any more, if as much,
as gave her, but she could have re-
deemed them. We mako only actual
purchases. We pay Vory nearly the
full bullion value, and everything we
buy goes into the oruoible, for our ous-
toners are chiefly jewellers. We often
get things in that way from people who
do not want to disgrace themselves, as
they think, by going 10 a pawnshopn
Just then a seedy old man oame in and
gave the clerk lace pin. In husky
voice he said he had just found it.
Don't want it, said the clerk
Honestly, / found it. Won't you
give me enough 10 got drink with? p
appealed the man.
mo; it's brass, replied the cruel
clerk.
Just my luck, y whined the tramp, as
he shufisd out.
And 50 they kept going and coming
with gold and with dross, each seeking
to convert some cid synbol Of pleasant
regard or vanity int that which would
procure neoeSsaries or crafty appetite.

A Green. .RlPAls TAat tlo Prophet ored-


A Green. .EpBhie That tho Prophet ored-
itsd WA wondrous Property.
The germ Of Mormonisrn originated in
Syracuse About the year 1918 q team
ster in the salt works by the name Of
Joseph Belcher, found a peculiar stone,
or a stone that tho owners claimed con-
tanned great powers Soon after Belcher
and family removed to SusGuehanna
county, Ra., where Joe Smith was en-
gagged as gold hunter, prophet, and treas
ure hunter. Beicher called his find
seeing stono." II was green, with
brown, irregular spots on it, and about
the same shape and size as goose egg.
In those days tho country was very wild
and the people very supelshtious, and
strange stories wore told Of lost animals
and children that were found by the aid
OF this stone. The medus eperanh was
to conceal the stone in a dark place and
Belcher's little boy could then see from
its unnatural powers the exact location
Of any object he desired 10 hnd. Joe
Smith heard of this miniature infOrma-
ton bureau and soon sought cut Beloher,
secured the stone, and renewed his re-
searches.
In 1926 Joe had in his employ a set OF
men who were called money diggers, and
his occupation was that Of seeing or pre-
tending to sec by means Of this stone,
placed in his hat and his hat closed over
his face. In this way he chained the
power te discover minerals and hidden
treasures. Il is said he was insoient,
poorly educated, and very careless in his
appearances.
About this time Smith procured box
of plates, which it is supposed he brought
from Palmyra, n. Y, where be lived for
a short time, which he kept carefully
locked. They were alleged to coRtain
great quantity Of characters and hero
glyphics which ne one but himself could
interpret. From these plates Smith, with
the assistance Of Martin Harris and Oil
yer Cawdry, produced the manuscript
for the Book Of Mormon. The book
was compiled in small building on the
Susquehanna River, about two miles
from the sidehill village Of Susquehanna.
and was printed in 1880, the manuscript
being taken 10 the printing efaco each
morning, and, together vita the proofs,
ETC., taken away each night. The first
account we have Of Joe and his followers
trying to start colony was in the year
1881, in a remote corner Of Luzerne
county, where the climsto soon got too
warm for them and they vacated. Their
next colony was near PainesviIle, Ohio.
The ola house where the manuscript was
produced is still standing, and is owned
by one Of the ex-oficials of Susquehanna
county.-[Syracuse Journal.

PhyBiognomists learn something Of
character from the mustache. AS the
form of the upper lip and the regions
about it have largely TO do with the feel
ings, pride, self reliance, manliness,
vanity, and other qualities that give self
control, the mustache is more partiou-
larly connected with the expression of
those qualities. When the mustache is
ragged and, as it were, flying hither and
thither, there is lack of self control.
When it is straight and orderly the re-
verse is the case, other things of course
taken into account. If there Is a tendency
to curl at the outer ends, there is a tend
ency to ambition, vanity, or display.
When the curl turns upward there is
geniaity combined with love of appro
baton; when the inclination is down
ward there is a more sedate turn of mind,
not unaocompanied with gloom. II il
worthy of remark that good natlred men
will, in playing with the mustache, inva-
riably give it an upward inclination,
whereas Gross grained or morose men viii
pull IL obliquely downward.
