va ARE LIVING HIGHER.
HS'erease In the Altitude OF Population
shown by the Census.

shown by the Census
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE census
bureau has issued bulletin Oh the dis
tribution Of population in accordance
with altitude. 1t appears that in the
area below 500 feet il included nearly all
that part of the population which is en-
gagged in manufacturing and in the for
eign commerce Of the country, and most
of that engaged in the culture of cotton,
rice and sugar.
The interval between 500 and / 500
feet comprises the greater part of the
prairie states and the grain producing
states of the northwest.
East of the 09th meridian 500 feet is
practically the upper limit of popula-
ton, all the country living above that ele-
walton being mountainous
The population between 1000 and
5000 feet is found mainly on the slope
OF the great western plains. In this
region the belt between 1000 and 5000
feet is almost everywhere the debatable
ground between the arid region of the
Cordilleran plateau and the humid
region of the Mississippi valley.
Alaska is about $500 feet. The
average elevation ut which the inhab-
itants lived. taking cognizance of their
distribution was 697 feet in 1870, and in
1880 it had increased to 739 feet and in
1890 to 78S feet.

Nationality in Art,

The men most prominent in American
art today are, in the majority of Partisan
training, so much so that the most familiar
reproach directed against their work is
that it lacks national character 1bat this
criticism, if applied to period Of transi-
ton, has a basis of truth is undeniable, for
nothing is more natural than that the first
steps in any career should be directed by
the influences which have presided over
preparatory studies But if we take ten
years to be the shortest period in which n
young painter on his return from Europe
can gain foothold here, it will he found
at the end of that time that, subjected to
the various influences of the intellectual
and material life of his native country, he
has taken on more of our national charac-
teristics than he is given credit for.
Modern art is essentially cosmopolitan,
and as nations obey the iron rule of the
general average, so in art the national char
acteristcs become fused and blended until
they are questions of detail more than of
fundamental construction. Paris fin de
steele has n keen eye for detail, however,
and we may depend upon it that, measured
by its standards, the exhibition by our
painters may be found wanting in many
things rather than in the personality which
results from race and temperament mOdi-
fled by conditions of environment

would cxclaim with all the fervency of
which strong man is capable.
"Well, should gurgle, Petite" and the
listening winds waited the answer to the
eight thousand expectant ears in the grand
stand.
They took no interest whatever in the
game as they sat in silent bliss, utterly OBJ
livious to the shouts of "Shut the door"
and Break away" Both audience and
players forgot the game for three innings
while watching the unconscious young
couple in the box.
Once, while the uproar was at its height,
Romeo tore himself away from Juliet's
side long enough to go out on the balcony
and ascertain, If possible, the cause of the
excitement. He glanced down toward the
score board, thinking, perhaps, that some
important news had just arrived from San
Jose. He then returned to the impatient
maiden, who had not been kissed for nearly
two seconds, and made it as pleasant for
her as he could.
Not until the game was over did the
young folks learn that their sacred seance
in the box had been exposed to the vulgar
gaze of a cold, unfeeling world. AS they
were leaving the park some one exclaimed,
"There they are" and the crowd gave them
a vigorous round of applause. The girl
wound veil around her crimson cheeks,
and Romeo instinctively felt in his girdle
for dagger with which to stab himself to
death.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A Good Word for the College Bows.

An American college contains from 500
to 1900 boys, rich, poor, ambitious or
thoughtless, rs the case may be- Among
them there is sure to be n mischief making
element. The escapades of these are tele-
graphed over the5Country and commented
on by a sternly indignant press. Had the
indiscretions been committed by boys out
of college they would never have attracted
even passing attention From these widely
circulated stories, always exaggerated and
affecting mt most but handful of students,
the idea has sprung that to send boy to
college is to cast him into a moral fiery
furnace, where he will be assailed by every
form of temptation. This is as far from
the truth rs il can we'll be.
There are few temptations in college life
which are not encountered in the everyday
world. On the other hand, there is n stand
ard of college morals which must be lived
up to by any student who cares to preserve
his social standing among his fellows.
This is not, in some ways, high standard,
but it is higher than any to be found in
common use outside college walls. To live
by it is to acquire the habits of thought
and the manners of gentleman. The
only wonder is that college disturbances
are so rare.-Albany Journal.
