His Massive Brow.

The man had broad, intellectual brow,
and the general shape OF his head indicated
unusual mental acumen. He was con-
tractor, and had called ut the house OF the
Walnut Hills land baron to receive final
directions for the rebuilding and renova-
ton OF the house. He talked with the
mistress for an hour, and now that she had
finished he hesitated TO depart.

He moved uncasily in his seat.

The mistress showed signs of irritation.
"My husband" she declared warmly,
"has no wish other than my own
The contractor bowed respectfully.

Still he waited, while the impatience Of
the lady grew apace.
"Well," she petulantly exclaimed, after
a pause, "if 1t plcases you | will send for
him"
Presently the husband came. He was
irrtated too.
81 certainly approve the plans" he said
severely.
The contractor bowed again.
"But I'd feel much easier" he faltered,

Man and wife looked at each other in

of the house.
The contractor shook his head.

fail to notice that his brow was broad and

He stood at the extreme point Of Pros
pect park, Niagara Falls watching the
mighty flow Of waters and his ears filed
with the tremendous roar from the abyss
below. He seemed magnetized by the rush
and appalled, by the sounds. Men who
watched him saw his face undergo great
transformation as the grandeur Of nature
was thus brought in contact with his very
soul. All of sudden one Of the observers
stepped forward touched his arm and led
him back few steps, and asked:
"Say, old man, how do you think tur-
nips are going to turn out this fali'"
There was general murmur of indiena-
ton at this exhibition Of sacriiege, out
the old mans face lighted up, and he
heaved sigh OF relief as he answered:

reapportionment threw Mr.. johnson into
a new district, and it has a Republican
majority Of about 1900. Mr.. Hodge, whs

conducted the publication Of the Cleveland
Voice for ten years, retiring in 1888.

BONE CHICAGO STATISTICS.
Az Compiled by British Consul for His
Government.
J. H. BEADLE.

As Compiled by British ConbuA ior hin
Governments.
1t is of interest sometimes to get
glimpse Of ourselves as others see US
Herewith is reproduced from The British
Architect condensation Of the annual
trade report of Colonel Hayes Sadler, Brit
ish consul at Chicago. His financial stat
istics are presented in pounds sterling as
he wrote them. 'In $780," says the consul,
"the population Of Chicago consisted of 20
persons, in 1882 it had increased to 200, and
In 1888 TO $50. In 1887 it was Incorporated
as a city; it comprised but very small
part of it's present site, and census then
taken showed 4170 inhabitants. In 1850
the population was 29,963, ten years later
1l3 III; in 1870 26s, 81; in 1880, sos, 1855; and
in $780, Los, 669. an increase of 7O5, 4A in
ten years.
'"The city is still increasing, and now con-
tains about 300 coo inhabitants. Chicago
now extends along the line of Halsted
street distance of 211S miles, and from
east TO west at the broadcast point lO1a
miles. 1t covers an area OF n5,32S acres,
or 1902 square miles, and is almost entirely
surrounded by magnificent boulevards
stretching for about 80 miles and expand
ing here and there into extensive parks.
In 1890 there were 1851 dwellings and
900, 800 families, or an average of LIZ fam
flies TO each dwelling. Last year IL ,sOs
buildings were constructed, covering
frontage of 531{ miles, at cost Of Ell 1884,
600, TO which may be added probably 20
per cent. for completion beyond the esti-
mates. The river frontage extends Al
miles, and the lake frontage q miles.
There are 1889 miles of streets, and count
ing the boulevards 3, l64 miles; us miles Of
streets are paved, of which 48l miles are
paved with wood, and 23l.3 miles with
stone.
1.-THE park and boulevard system covers
1857 acres. Nearly 100 miles of fresh
sewers were laid last year, with pipes vary
ing from 8 inches TO feet in diameter.
Education has kept pace with the general
advance; there are 218 schools, seating 1885,
600 pupils, and costing 81, 600, Sc per
cent. of which is raised by taxation and
the balance derived from school property.
Three years ago the appropriation did not
amount to half that sum. The total trade
In 1891 is estimated at 930O, 1915 900 against
R2S4, 500 900 in the preceding year, or lit
tie less than one-third of the total bank
clearings In 1850 the total trade was, in
round numbers. $4,000, 900; in 1850, eco 0O0,-

Success Late I'm Life.

u Is feature Of this generation that II
is animated 10y the spirit Of never too late
to begin. We read, to be sure, of the stern
per severance of Cato, who mastered Greek
after eighty, and of Plutarch beginning
the study of Latin at seventy, but these
wer. exceptional men Of their day, and the
fact that these instances are still recited
with emphasis proves that they are very
uncommon. Women even more than men
until po~v have been prone passively to &C.

as forty settle back with the resigned ut
is too ate for me to do anything"
In thai university for middle aged
women the women's clubs, however,
they are learning more wisdom, and the
results of it are beginning 10 show. A case
to illustrate is that of married pair who
found. after their little family was grow
ing up around them and the burden Of
caring fsr Them seemed to absorb every
faculty, that each had put valuable talent
aside to riist. The wife's fingers itcbed TO
draw, her artist eyes saw designs in every
thing, while the husband had spoiled a
good Doctor in poor salesman. And one
day the wi fe rose TO the situation.
She left her two little ones with their
father and spent six months in German
city, studying night and day. On her re-
turn, after little effort and waiting, she
occurred a pace as designer in print fac
tory, and tiaen it was the husbands turn.

of a wholesale house knew him no more,

augmented by man of forty, whose energy
