From the Youths Companion.
Exactly how many people there are in the
world it is impossible to say, since no census
is taken OF many populous countries, like
China. while the number of people who live
in the jungles of Africa can only be guessed at
As long ago as 1866 Benin, leading German
authority, estimated the population Of the
earth at /, 40O, 900, 900.
In 1880 the same authority set the figures at
about loo, 0O0, 900 more. He did not base the
new estimates on the natural increase of the
people of the world. but explained that more
accurate figures and estimates had enabled him
to guess more closely.
Two years later Mr.. Benin estimated the
earth's population at $4,000, 900 less than in
1880, the decrease being accounted for by the
fact that new Investigations had compelled the
reduction of the estimated population of China
from something over 400, 900 600 to about
$50, 900. 900.
Probably the estimate for the year 1891,
made by learned German statistician, Is the
most nearly accurate of any yet madeN, $780,
1t is believed that the worlds population il
increasing at the rate Of nearly g. 900 900 year.
The most populous continent is Asia, which
contains two countries-China and India
whose swarming millions outnumber the peo-
pie Of all the other countries Of the continent.
The most densely peopled continent is. Of
course, Europe. The number Of people in
Europe is known with a great degree of accu-
racy. There are about $50, 900, 900, and the
continent which accommodates all these people
IL SO. small that there are upon il an average Of
ninety-three people to the square mile.
The people upon the two continents OF
North and south America, without the arctic
regions, are less than Ia. 900 900 in number, or
only eight to the square mile.
When America IL % densely populated a
Europe this half of the world will have q pop
ulstion of nearly l. 400 600 OOO-pract ioallv thu
same - that Of the whole world at the present
time.

their circulation as to have lost on an average
about 8 per cent of their bullion value. By

such a very profitable business that no private
individual is permitted to go into it. Formerly
1t was different, and there were private min Is
in various parts of the country which issued
coins of their own stamps.
Nearly all OF the uncurrent silver coins now
in the treasury are half dollars. This 10 be-

There are three lessons i wculd write
1hree words as with a burning pen
In tracings of eterna! light,
Upon the hearts Of men:
Have Hope. Though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow
No night but hath Its morn.
Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven
The Gains disport, the tempest wrath
Know thou: God rules the hosts of heaven,
The inhabitants Of earth.
Have Love. Not love alone for one,
But man, as man, thy brother call,
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope, Faith and Loye-and thou shalt find
Strength, when LIES surges rudest roll,
Light, when thou else vert blind.
