1t is not in the power of any one man to
get the hang of all that is done and being
done in the various branches Of the relig-
ious congresses of this month. Suffice it
to say that the Catholics began on Sunday
the 3rd and in their eight days really did
q wonderful work. What with Maryland
Day, Columbus Day, Spain's Day and
Irish Day yet to come their prominent
men realiy had a great deal to do with
running the fair, and since they have
called my attention to it I confess it does
seem a little singular that all Of the two

they have earned right to be prominent
here.
The Jews began on Aug. ~, but their

Welsh religio- o-musical societies were active
lastweek. The Protestant denominations
are now making a so-called presentation
each morning and evening while the
main religious parliament is running, the
Congregationalists having led off on the
10th. In the correspondence of DR.. Bar
rows are letters from over g. thousand of
the worlds prominent men and religious
teachers, warmly approving the great par
Lament, including Gladstone and nearly
all the great lights of the English estab-
ishment. The more T see of it the more
wonderful this congress seems, and recall
a statement in the history of India that
the great mogul, Akbar, once attempted
to orgenize such a congress.

EQUESTRIAN STATUE IN PRUNES.
Among the curious displays in the parade
was the fairy carriage of the Michigan
Luggy company, drawn by the smallest
horse on earth, an equine Tom Thumb 81
inches high. Another was a parade of
about $50 bicycles, the wheelers represent
ing all sorts of races and characters from
Columbus to Cetewayo, with Knights,
Samoans, Americans Indians, Cinnamon,
Dahomeyan and Fijians. In the water
parade was every kind of small craft, pro-
PEELED by steam, naptha, gasoline, elec-
trlc1ty, wind and nlan-power. There were
gigs from the battleship, cutters, fishing
boats Of al tie nations from Alaska to
Norway, lns:ian. Esquimaux and West
African c;an'>'s and a long array of pleas
IRE boats. -A;;t.:'r the style came the fun,
such as tut, racing and other aquatic
comedies, and so the evolution of progress
was exhibited from the followed log of
the aborigine to the latest triumph of
science.
In rambling about the grounds and
reading the notices posted in various Ian
guages am once more struck by fact I
often noticed in New Mexico-that a state
ment can nearly always be made in fewer
1eCCerS IN EngllSh Chan IN any other Ian
guage. Here is familiar card:

Hands off!
The five sound polite; the last means
business. Even the potter form in Eng
lish is shorter than any of the others. All
this make me think that if we would only
reform our barbarous spelling, English
would become q sort of universal language
in fifty years. AS it is every foreigner has
to learn two languages in this country, if
he would be thought an educated man
the spoken and the written. And the lat
ter is so much more arbitrary than the
former that it requires more labor. Now
if l should write the longer English form
above in some of the we'll established
sound-forms Of our speech it would run
thus:

which can be violated in one building. and
yet the general effect is pleasing. It
seems like bit of Granada in Moorish
times, of Mexico and Mission California
all in one.
The floor space, including gallery, is
100, square feet, and it is we'll filled
with every sort of semi-tropical growth
and mineral output from Yreka to Los
Angeles--the fig and the lemon, the orange,
the grape and the prune, the great pampas
grass with fleecy plumes eighteen inches in
length, the dark green palm and trailing
vines and flowers of all forms and hues.
In the most conspicuous place is the noted
equestrian statue of prunes which can
not admire, but most people do if I may
judge from the crowd always about it; and
all around are minerals of such variety
that only Dana or q Hitchcock could de-
scribe them. And, "apropos de boots," as
we say in Paris, this reminds me of some
very fiery discussions have recently lis
tened to in which California and the Chi
nese were the leading theme.
Henry George started it, of course. In
the Single Tax congress the leading ex-
ponent inveighed savagely against all ex-
clusion laws, whereupon Henry George
took the stand and maintained the right
and the duty of our government to pre-
vent all further immigration of the Mon
golians. AS if chemical reagent had
suddenly separated Il compound into two
radically different elements, the assem-
blage at once divided and a furious and
highly entertaining discussion continued
till a late hour. Mr.. George next went
over and stirred up the Methodist preach
ers and about the same time all the Budd-
hist priests and scholars attended DR..

Population of the Fart b.

An exchange says the human tami-
ly living on earth to-day consists of
about l,45O,OOO,OOO souls-not fewer,
probably more. These are distribu-
ted literally all over the earth's sur
face, there being no con siderable spot
on the globe where man has not found
a foot-hold. In Asia, the so-called
"cradle of the human race" there are
now about 100000 people densely
crowded, on an average of 40 to
every square mile. In Europe there
are 100000, 900, averaging 100 to the
square mile, not SO crowded as Asia,
but everywhere dense, and in many
places overpopulated. In Africa there
are, approximately. 210,0OO,OOO, and
in the Amer, cas-North, South and
Central-l1O,OOO,O0O, these latter, of
course, relatively thinly scattered over
broad areas. On the islands, large
and small, there are probably 10000
600 more. The extremes of the blacks
and white are as five to three, remain
ing 7OO,OOO,O00 intermediate, brown,
yellow and tawny in color. OF the en-
tire race 5OO,0O0Ooo are well clothed
that is they wear garments of some
kind that will cover nakedness-250,-
100000 habitually 60 naked, and 7OO,-
100000 only cover the middle part OF
the body; 5OO,OO00O0 live in houses,
7OO,OOQOO0 in huts and caves, the re-
naming 25O,OOO,0OO virtually have no
place to lay their heads.

The Fair No More.

The official closing of the Worlds
Fair was observed yesterday with
simple ceremonies, which, on account
of the tragic death of Chicago's Mayor,
who was so closely identified with the
great Exposition, were very different
from those which had been proposed.
The announcement that the Worlds
Fair is no more will be an impressive
one to thousands all over the earth.
Many will be the pleasant memories
it will revive and sincere will be the
general regret it will provoke that
this mighty monument to civilization,
having served its brief purpose, melts
away into the past even as it took
shape from the chaos of its creation,
like the most beautiful of dreams.
And what a dream it was! Surely
no fabulous enchantment of the Magis
wand ever surpassed in magnitude,
symmetry and splendor this marvel"
GUS evolution of the spirit of modern
progress, which for six months has
lifted its white walls and expansive
domes so majestically above the wa
tiers of Lake Michigan. Like reful-
gent "city upon a HILL" or like be-
wildering mirage in the luminous
skies, this browning miracle of the
closing century shone forth to the adj
miring eyes of all the nations. Like
the mirage it will fade from sight,
even more swiftly than it dawned
into view, but unlike that it leaves be-
hind, in that Of which it was but the
Implication and shadow-for in truth
the "White City" were better called
the Shadow City-all the mighty
forces and supreme achievements that
90 to make the present the greatest
age of the world.
All honor to the people who have
made such a result possible! All
honor to the millions who have con-
tributed to it recognition and support
All honor to Chicago, the indomitable
young giant of our new world, with
out whose peerless resources, pluck
and public spirit such stupendous
undertaking would have been doomed
to failure, even in land and time
like ours.
AS it was, nothing of its kind which
civilization has ever seen approached
it, and in all probability none of us
who beheld it will live to look upon
its like observation-disclosures.

Editorial Note For November.

The November number of the Ec-
lectic opens with long but interesting
paper on "Weariness," formerly de-
livered as lecture by Prof. Michael
M. Foster the following article, "A
Garden in stone," inquiries into the
history and symbolism of certain
leaves and flowers, as traced in archi-
lecture from its early days. One OF
the most valuable of the selections III
this number is DIR. Cowley Browns
logical and earnest argument for "Via
Media" in the Church. "Mars as a
World" summarizes for the uninitia-
ted many, the discoveries of the scien-
tific few concerning the Planet. The
anonymous article on "The Unity OF
Thought and Action" contains matter
chiefly interesting to students of psy-
cology. "The Banditti of Corsica" il
a readable paper, showing the brigade
age is as rife as ever in that island
Among the more literary articles are
"The Letters of Henry the Fourth :
ga Question of Taste" in which Mr.
E. f. Benson discusses the tendencies
of modern fiction, and the sketch rem
iniscent of Thackeray by Canon Irvine,
which he entities "a Study for Colonel
Newcome." The descriptive papers
are numerous this month; there is q
by Algornon Swinburne, delightful

ton of Miscellany. ...

Creameries are a good thing for an!
community, but there is a chance OF
failure unless arrangements are made
to start with a sufficient number OF
COWS to keep the creamery running.
The man starting into winter with
some good fresh cows ought to be

The Texas Farm and Ranch thinks
that it will be long time before there

she must have good SHELTER pure wa

Says an exchange: sheep, and hog
livers are usually sold cheap, and if
boiled, with ground grain added until
a thick mass is formed, we doubt If any
egg-producing food, considering the
cost, can be secured. In nearly all mar
kets the livers can be procured, and
they may be fed raw or cooked, but
it is better to cook them. The best
grain to use is ground oats, though 8

of advantage.
