WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - Commissioner
Raum, of the pension bureau, in an inter-

said that the assertion that deficiency OF

posterous, as the workings of the office
could not elevate it to that figure. While
the pension roll is on the increase now,
owing to the new laws, it would, he
thought, reach maximum figure in two

Our population was, when Nautilus

deaths, and our national census 10
taken once only in ten years; SO that
we cannot tell for any period the exact

how much is due to excess of births
over deaths, and how much to immigra-
ton. The increase in the last decade
OF last century was $50 per cent,
and for the first decade of this SO. 80
per cent, probably the most rapid
gains in population from natural
eauses-for the immigration during

Gingerbread. as every one knows, is
easily affected by changes in the at
mosphere. The slightest moisture ron
ders it soft; in dry weather. on the con
trary, IL grows hard and tough.
Every morning on going out the
Frenchman asks his servant: What
does the general say?" and the man ap-
plies his thumb TO the gingerbread
figure.
Sometimes he replies: The general
feels soft: he would advise your taking
an umbrella" On the other hand,
when the generals symptoms are hard

forth arrsycd in his best, with no fears
for his spotless suit or his new hat. He

It's Enough 70 Make . Caterers Fortune
In Day.
How much the human race eats in a
day can only be answered approximate
ly, but at the same time fairly accur-
ate estimate can be arrived at.
The average healthy man eats nearly
two and a half pounds Of solid food in a
day. Some races eat much more than
others, but against this we can set the
smaller consumption of children and
the delicate members Of civilized com.
munities.
Now, as there are, according to the
most careful computations, 1,4sI 900,
900 human beings on the planet, we
may conclude that 3,6o7. ITO, 900 pounds,
or about 1,el0,612 tons Of solid food arc
eaten every day the world over.
With regard to the drinking capacity
