Grasshopper's Legs in His Eye.

Rainfall and Population.

The distribution of population relative
to mean annual rainfall indicates not
only the tendency of people to seek arabic
lands, but their condition as to general
healthfulness. The average annual rain
fall in this country is 1916 inches, but
the variations range from zero to perhaps
one hundred and twenty-five inches.
Gauging the distribution of the popula-
ton in accordance with the annual aver.
age rainfall in different localities, some
interesting points are observable, not
only as to the number of inhabitants in
the areas calculated, but as to the density
of population. The greater proportion
of the people of the United States are
living In the regions in which the annual
rainfall is between thirty and fifty inches:
Mr.. Gannett calculates that about three
fourths of the inhabitants of the country
are found under these conditions; and,
further, that as the rainfall increases or
diminishes, the population diminishes
rapidly. The density of population in
regions where the average rainfall is be-
tween thirty and forty inches is 49, per
square mile; in regions where it Is ffom
forty to fifty inches annually, the density
is 30 per square mile in regions where
the rainfall is from fifty to sixty inches
annually, the density is 25.1, and in the
arid regions of the West, where the rain
fall is less than twenty inches, being two
fifths of the entire area of the country,
less than three per cent. of the popula-
ton finds its home. The population
has increased rapidly in the regions
having from thirty to forty inches aver
age rainfall.-Popular Science Monthly.

WISE WORDS.

Some family trees are very shady.
Opinions change and men change with
them.
Beautiful thoughts are the flowers of
the mind.
Kind words are the yeast that raise and
Tighten home.
One trouble sometimes makes us for
get a thousand mercies.
The effect of cruel words last longer
than do the effect of cruel blows.
Never strike horse that is pulling his
best, even if the progress be slow.
Resisting temptations is like banking
up your house to keep out the cold.
Amy fool can attempt to tear down.
but idiocy is no help in building up.
1t pleases man more to call himself
fool than to have another do it for him.
He who thinks he can't win is sure to
be right about it, for he has already lost.
The love of glory can only create a
hero-the contempt of it creates great
man.
1t generally happens that insane men
at large have good guns and know how
to use them.
When man can't make a fool of you
in any other way he can do it by repeat
ing in earnest the things you said in fun.
Never expect man to pin his faith to
friend; he should nail it. 1t IS only
women who can pin things so they will
stay.
1t is too often the case that man with
one talent can marry any woman he will,
and woman with two talents will marry
any man she can.
The pretty attentions young woman
shows men are really intended to catch
prince for husband; but, poor girl,
she usually finds i, necessary to COM
promise on paurer.
There is nothing purer than honesty,
nothing sweeter than charity, nothing
warmer than love, nothing richer than
wisdom, nothing brighter than virtue,
and nothing more steadfast than faith.

Americans Quiet Dinners.

"There is one popularity of Ameri-
can life," said famous Frenchman in
the hotel lobby, "that challenges the
attention of the Continental, and that is
the funeral aspect of the American dining
room at meal time. Your people are
decidedly English in this respect. 1t is
apparently regarded as lreach of de-
corum for people to talk at dinner.
Perhaps it is the legitimate outgrowth
of centuries of'table d'hote. Your pub
lie dining rooms are as oppressive as the
funeral services over the body Of ones
best friend. ."-NeU York Herald.
