No More Crowded Cities.

IL believe that the days of great
cities, as we now understand the
term, are numbered" said Professor
w. b. Cowper, at the Southern
RAPID transit has for years past
been spreading the population of
these immense trade centres over Il
larger area, and in my opinion, this
work has just begun. The tend
ency is to go further and further
away from the dust and heat for
home enjoyment, and trade and in
dustry are creeping after the popu-
lation towards the suburbs. When
the science of transportation is SO
perfected that journey of thirty
miles represents no greater time or
expense than one of five miles now
does, you will soon see cities like st.
Louis and Chicago spread over
quadruple the present area, and in
stead of miles after miles of solid
brick and stone the chief districts
will be interspersed with numerous
parks and gardens. Then will the
charms of the country be welded to
the social and commercial advan-
tages of the city, and the reeking
plague spots that now defy both
the laws of man and God will disap-
pear. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Premier Had Dined.

A young shorthand writer was
once told to report speech by Sir
John Macdonald. Now it happen
ed that the Canadian Premier had
come to the House from "a dinner
party, and his speech in matter and
form was of a decidedly postbrand-
ial character. The youthful re-
porter, however, could not believe
it possible that Sir John should
want editing, and took down every
word. His editor OH seeing the
copy, told him it would not do, and
as it was not wanted for the next
morning he was advised to go and
see Sir John and get him to correct
it. The reporter OH being shown
in, found Sir John, as usual, exceed
ingly affable. Having explained
the object of his visit, the reporter
was desired to read his notes aloud.
This he did, while Sir John lay OH
a sofa listening with a face of ex-
treme solemnity to his incoherencies
and correcting them as occasion re-
quired. When the notes were
finished the Premier rose. laid his
hand OH the young mans shoulder,
and began in the most fatherly of
tones:

Now my dear young friend, ] am
an old man and you are young
one, and you will not mind there
fore if | give you piece of advice
as to the practice of your profession.
Ny advice is this: Never attempt
to report a speech unless you are
perfectly sure that you are sober"
With this Sir John bowed out
his visitor.--Spare Moments.

Geography in South Africa

Boston is noble and famous
city, but there are millions of people
in the world who have never heard
of it. N. II. Bishop, a boy of
seventeen or eighteen years, was
travelling across the pampas of
South America in comany with
some natives of the Argentine
Republic.
Having said, perhaps little
proudly, that he was from Boston,
he afterward overheard this con-
versation between two of his fellow
travellers:
"Where is Boston =" asked one.
Boston is in France, to be sure"
replied the other.
That cannot be. France is a
great way off, and has not got any
moon; and the gringo told me the
other night that there is moon
in Boston, and North America is
in the same place"
Fool" exclaimed Number One.
North America is in England, the
country where the gringoes live
that tried to take Buenos Ayres."

of the Fergusons. The clothes had
been in soak for more than an hour.
The laundress in the basement came
up stairs to report that the soap,
which had been ordered early that
morning, had not come yet.
"Lycurgus,' said Mrs. Ferguson,
'you will have to go to the grocery
store and get it. We can't wait
any longer"
Mr.. Ferguson went to the grocer's
whose place of business was seven
blocks away.
"How does it happen" he de-
manded, fiercely, THAT the soap my
wife ordered three hours ago hasn't
come yet?"
"She ordered a lot of other stuff
at the same time" said one of the
clerks, land we filled the order as
quick as we could. The boy with
the delivery wagon is on the way
there now"
Mr.. Ferguson went back home.
Mrs. Ferguson reported that the
grocer's boy had come and delivered
everything she had ordered-except
the soap. 1t had been overlooked.
Mr.. Ferguson, boiling over with
wrath, was about to start for that
soap, when the laundry lady made
her appearance again.
"There's a man at the back door,"
she said, with an order book in his
hand. think it's the grocer HIM
self"
Then Mr.. Ferguson went to the
back door.
"You've come yourself this time,
have you?" he shouted.
"Yes, sir" said the man.
''Got that soap?"
mo, sir; but
You haven't! Do you know,
sir, that we have been waiting all
this morning for IA few bars of
cheap, common, yellow soap, sir?

a trip to your store OH purpose for
soap myself and then did not get
it? What kind of way is that for
a man to do business? We could
have waited an hour or two for the
lettuce and cocoanut and strawber-

And there wasnt t any particular

OVER SENTENCED

James Welch. the Woman-Beater,
VIII Soon be Out of Jail.
James Welch, who is serving out a
50O-day sentence in the County Jail for
beating his mistress, appeared before Su-
perior Judge johnson yesterday on a
writ of habeas corpus, sued out by his
attorney, John G. Catlin.
The young barrister had "dead case" :"
but his client will have to wait three
months yet before he can get out of Jail.
Mr.. Catlin read the law to the court,
showing that Police Judge Cravens, in
sentencing Welch to 500 days lmprison-
ment, exceeded his jurisdiction by a good
deal, as the maximum sentence for bat
terry is six months.
Judge johnson said the point was a
good one, but as Welch had only served
out three months up to the present time,
the habeas corpus proceedings were pre-
mature. He therefore remanded the
prisoner, but the latter congratulated
himself upon the assurance of having
his sentence expire so soon.
1t is understood that Mr.. Catlin is about
to commence habeas corpus proceedings
for the release of another battery prisoner
who was over-sentenced by Judge Cra-
VenS.
