their fortunes whether good or bad, they have
shared together. On Sunday easel impaired
the information to Spania, while both were in
the rear room of saloon drinking beer, that
he was tired OF life and intended to kill him
self. Spania agreed with his friend that life
was not worth living and he would gladly end
his existence with his friend. More beer was
had and then Spania went and purchased a re-
volver. When he returned the men made
preparations to carry out their suicide. 1t
was arranged that Spanis should shoot easel

From the Chicago Daily Inter-Ocean.
A little girls pious father was wont to COM
ment bitterly upon the evil things he saw and
heard. always ending his denunciation with the
'consolatory reflection: well, it's none Of my
business"
One cold winter day the little lady was out
riding in the city. wrapped in furs and closely
mufiied in warm robes. when she saw a child
of about her own age scrambling along on the
icy pavement crying bitterly, the tears al
most freezing on her cheeks. She was
very poorly clad, having only some rags
about her feet, leaving the toes bare to
snow and frost. The sight made a deep i'm
preston on the little ones mind. All day long
she could talk of nothing but the poor ragged
little girl. and in her prayers before retiring
she was moved to lay the matter before the
Lord in the following addition to her accus-
toned nightly petition:
''And oh, Lord. I saw little girl today. II

street. too: but she only had on thin, ragged
dress and no shoes at all Oh, dear, she did
look SO cold. and did feel 30 sorry for her. but
it isn't any Of our business, is it, God? Amen"

Valuable Information as to Area and Pop
u1ation.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The introductor; tables of the latest edition
Of the Statesman's Year Book 1892 contain
some valuable information as to the population
and area of the world. and also the results Of
the recent partitions of Africa. The data given
in die Bevolkerung der Erde" show that the
area of the world is 81, 299, 431 square miles and
the population l,479 729.151. an average of
twenty-eight to the square mile. Rayenstein's
revised estimate for 1890 gives the area at
5l25O, 800. the population at 1857 920. 900. and
twenty-nine to the square mile. and estimates
the increase of the worlds population in a dec
ade QsS0-'90) at 8 per cent. In computations
of this kind several totals, particularly in Asia
and Africa, have to be obtained by estimate.
1t is quite possible that the total population
reaches more nearly 800. 0O0, 900 than the
figures given In any event. the latter in
round numbers are more practical and easier
to remember. The area and population in
each of the divisions are given thus:

In one Of the magazines / lately read of a
pretty idea as gift for friend that was an
uncut copy of March, sAurelius. with a ribbon
book mark, and attached 70 1t a small paper
cutter with the head of Marcus Aurelius on a
coin stamped for the handle. This idea OF the
marker and paper cutter going with any uncu,
book is a good one, though subject and marker
may not so fifty correspond as in the story,

flowing in the river at such times."
THE oUrFALL AT RosIER's BLUFF.
Speaking Of Rosters bluff as locetion for
the out fall, Mr.. Morris says: s.It is located
below Alexandria. the river is narrow at this
point. the channel deep and wide and close to
the Maryland shore, with no fats on MARYLAND
side until Broad creek is reached about two
of each ebb tide the water is flowing off the
flats, and consequently the sewage does not flow
on to the fats. at least for some distance down.
Beginning with Little Hunting creek opposite
the river is rapidly augmented by many creeks.
AN outiaii between Washington and Alex.
andria would subject both cities to the bad
effects OF tho sewage that is without a reser-
yoir. With q reservoir Alexandria would be
the sufferer. With the point of discharge mid
| way between the two cities, without a reser-
volr. the sewage would be carried by the flood
| tide back to the city in about two hours and a
half"
The Anacostis sewerage, Mr.. Norris thinks,
should be collected at a central station and
pumped to the outfall sewer through pipes
| laid on tho south bank OF the Anacos,ia river.
MODELLED on THE LONDON SYSTEM.
Mr.. Norris, in closing his paper, says: ~
| would state that this proposed sewerage i'm
provement is in general modelled after the
London sewerage system. Upon its establish
ment in that city it was followed by great re-
duction IN the death rate, and the same effect
may be looked for here. Its main advantages
may be summed up as follows: 1t would thor
| oughly and effectively dispose of the sewerage
of the city without detriment to Washington
or the neighboring city of Alexandria. 1t
would improve the sanitary condition of WASH
| ington by carrying away the foul matter that
at present stagnates in the foul sewers that
penetrate to the heart Of the city. 1t would
prevent the deposition of refuse ON the bottom
Of the river and its decomposition there along
the flats. 1t would provide for the utilization
OF the sewerage for irrigation and fertiiizinS
purposes on the farm lands lying on the left
bank of the river between Washington and
Fort FOote. 1t would prevent damage to prop
erty by tho overflow Of the river in time of
heavy rains and freshets. 1t would purify the
water OF the Potomac"

Salmon Going the Way of the Buffalo.

From the Denver Republican.
1t looks as though the salmon fisheries of the
Columbia river, which have added enormously
to the wealth Of the northwest, would in the
course of a few years become exhausted. The
fate of the Columbia will probably be that OF
the Sacramento river, from which stream the
salmon have almost entirely disappeared. Fish
laws may be passed and an attempt may be
made to enforce them, but it is not though,
that anything that can be done in this way
would suffice to save the fisheries. 1t seems
that the salmon will not remain il rivers the
waters OF which are frequently distured by
steamboats, and that Aow through thickly in.
habited countries. The salmon fishing Of the
not very distant future will likely be almos,
entirely confined to British Columbia and
