MIGHTY LONDON.

Sixty miles Of shops open every Sun
day in London, and there are 1900
places of worship and $4,000 public
houses.
Ten thousand new houses are an
nualy added to the 100000 dwellings
which shelter London's population OF
100000.
Late statistics show that out of Lon
don's 5000 900 inhabitants more than
300, 900 families earn less than three
shilIings day.
There are ninety different banking
companies in London. The bank OF
England turns out about f24, 900, ooc
worth of notes a week.
London's river has over 100 acreage
of docks. Those at I'ilbury are large
enough to accommodate the whole
shipping of London.
Ten million letters are delivered
weekly in London by over 1000 post
men, who walk a distance equal tc
twice the circumference of the globe
London's 10000 streets, if put END
to end, would reach from London &c
St. Petersburg, yet some thirty miles
of new streets are laid out yearly,
A birth takes place in London every
three minutes and death every five
minutes. Recently the births registered
twice the number Of deaths.
Londons area is larger than New
York, Paris and Berlin put together
an area which may be represented by
a circle of thirty miles in diameter.
The monetary value of this mighty
Babylon is worth ? e times as much a;
Paris. There are over fifty people If
London with incomes over fIoo, 900
a year each.
1t has been calculated that the an
nual income of the London ews i:
nearly 65,ooo,ooo, which means thai
the Jews are ~ times richer than The
gentieS.
Nearly 1000 children are born yearly
in London warehouses. Two year
ago there were more than 1000 able
bodied paupers in those charitable in
situations.
One in every eleven of the inhabi
tants of London seeks poor relief il
the course of the year, yet we are
assured that pauperlsm in the metropo
lis is steadily on the decrease,
1t is not a pleasant reflection 70
people with delicate chests that fol

The floating population of tn
Thames numbers some 800, 900 souls

Paper Stockings.

Paper stockings are now worn in
Germany as a preventive of colds. The
material they are formed of is specially
prepared paper, impregnated with some
substance which apparently sucks up
all the perspiration as quickly as 1t
is formed, keeping the feet warm and
dry.

1t aims to cure Consumption,
Hits the Mark, too, and it
most effectually breaks up Colds,
Coughs, Hoarseness and all
Throat and Lung troubles that
cause this disease.
1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPoLE's PREPARATION
OF COP LIVER OIL has power
to prevent Consumption, it sure
ly is able to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This vigor-making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
ly Tasteless, in SO far as Cod
Liver Oil is concerned. All
you notice is a delightful flavor
of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
Cod Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is a great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is a natu-
raj food that in its stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchial
troubles it is unequalled. No
one doubts the value of Cod
Liver Oil, but not every one is
liable TO take it.

A Child Pets A Copperhead,

On last Saturday near Birming
ham, little girl wandered from her
home out into the woods and only
after an absence of an hour or more
was she missed by the family. A
search was made for her and IL was
not long before she was discovered
by an elder brother toying with a
huge copperhead snake in the bush
es. Strange to say that the snake
didn't seem at all concerned, as the
little one scraped stick up and
down its back but rather seemed TO
enjoy the situation. The brother
was almost paralyzed when he saw
what was going on and slipping up
behind the little one he despatched
the reptile with club. II measur-
ed three feet one inch and is one OF
the most poisonous of its species.
Tho little child cried heartily be-
cause the snake had been killed and
even wanted to take the carcass
home.

For Whom Do Women Dress 2

The Boston Globe recently fired
this interesting query at its readers.
The shot provoked q broadside Of
opinions from n multitude of people
The question is one that always in d.
terests the public. A large proper
tion of American citizens hold that
women dress to please the men. An
other class equally numerous insist
that they project and execute ele-
CANT toilets in order to provoke the
admiration and envy of other wo-
mon. The obvious truth is that wo-
men clothe themselves in tasteful and
beautiful fabrics because they are
women
Ii is fact to bu thankful for that
all The fads of all the reformers in
creation cannot reform the inherent
delight of the civilized woman in
beautiful and graceful things. She
loves dainty gowns, flowing laccs,
pretty Jewels and iaunty bonnets be-
cause it is the feminine nature to do
so. She arrays herself as she arrays
the interior of her home, Us becom-
ingly as her purse and tho mandates
off fashion will let hcr, not because
she wants to dazzle other women or
fascinate the masculine sex, but be-
cause she Graves neatness, refine
ment and artistic charm.
II the civilized woman dwell alone
on an islane she would call the pret-
tiest flowers for corsago boquet
and choose to eat and sleep in the
pleasantest and cleanest place she
could find, Ii she lived in q coun-
try without O man IN II, she would
still regard the fit and hue of her

OfeOurse women are not unmind-
full OF the opinion Of the opposite
sex. They like admiration when it
is respectful, and they are great
deal happier when their dress is
cordially praised by the one partic-
ular man whose appreciation they
value above most things terrestrial.
But they select their garb primarily,
not to gain masculine tlattery, but
in obedience to the dominant in
stiDct which makes the modern wo,
man u constantly refining aud up

There is much character to be seen
in the mouth as in the eye. Thin lips
indicate bad temper. Full,
thick lips indicate too great an
appreciation of the food things of
this world. A mouth that turns up
at the corners shows n merry good
hearted temperament corners that
turn down show n dismal, gloomy
and often cruel disposition. A
mouth too large is coarse one too
small betokens lack of character
SO says an observant writer.
The veritable Tom Harter has
placed himself squarely before the

largely increased its circulation.
