An English statistician has been
making study of the population of
Japan, and he estimates that the an
nual rate of increase in that country is
thirteen in every thousand. On such
basis the population will double it.
self in fifty eight years. This fact is
remarkable when compared with the
growth of the countries of Europe. In
England the rate of increase is thirteen
two hundredths a thousand, but in
most of the other countries it is be-
tween six and nine, and in France and
Spain it is lower still. In the case of
Japan, too, the number of births is
lower than in most parts of Europe ex-
cept France. and the number OF illegit,
innate births is smaller than in any
European state. The writer in ques-
ton attributes the remarkable increase
TO the development of wealth since
the restoration and the decrease of the
death rate among children.
Indians first utilized petroleum.

Free Points on Law,

Lawyers, like doctors, see much Of
the selfish side of human nature Their
friends" do not scruple to draw upon
them for the legal knowledge which
has been gained by years of study, and
profit by it without the formality OF
fee. There is nothing easier than to
drop into the office after business
hours for a social chat, hand out
cigar, and in the relaxation that follows
turn the talk to some apparently hypo-
thetical question of law, then when tho
foodgates of legal lore are open to
absorb the information and thus save
good dollars at the expense of cigar
or two. Unfortunately, it is impossible
for a we'll bred man to escape this i'm
position. Nor are men the only Offend
ers. L have been amused to notice
how some women contrive to get somo
free points on law. In the public law
libraries, for instance, that are occupied
every day by lawyers, such scene us
this is by no means uncommon. The
big door will swing around in a slow,
uncertain way, and woman makes her
appearance. She approaches the bright
young man at the desk, and timidly
asks him if he knows where she can
find out about the law on some stated
point. He generally finds book for
her, points out passage bearing on
the question and lets her read it at her
leisure. If, however, it is beyond his
knowledge of law, he inquiries about it
from some of the good natured lawyers
in the room. Two or three of then.
will listen to the woman's explanation,
and the opinion she receives is the COM
bined wisdom and judgment of all of
them. And so gallant are American men
as rule that no one begrudges the
knowledge he has given her.

What Poets Need,

A whimsical letter written by w. s.
Gilbert notes "a great want" among
poets. Il should like to suggest" he
says, that any inventor who is in
needof name for his invention would
confer boon on all rhymesters and at
the same time insure himself many
gratuitous advertisements If he were
to select a word In common use that
rhymes to one of the many words in
common use that have very few
rhymes, or none at all. A few more
words rhyming to love are greatly
wanted. Revenge and 'avenge' have
no rhyme but 'Penge' and stone
henge;' Golf has no rhyme at all.
'Starve' has no rhyme except (oh irony9

When Father John overlook her at
the foot Of the garden in the paupers'
corner the child was on her knees be-
fore a grave, which formed a strong
contrast to the great simplicity Of those
which surrounded it. At the head Of
this grave was little wooden cross
badly planted, for it was in the middle
of the grave; but around it, as upon
the tOmbs of the wealthy, superb flow
ers were scattered
The guard, astonished, stopped short
beside the little one who was kueeling
upon the frost-hardened ground. She
murmured aloud unintelligible words,
while her body was convulsively
shaken with Sobs.
She uttered plaintive groans, and
great tears rolled down her thin
checks. She raised her head, clasped
her hands, and her childish voice ut
tered a prayer in the silence. Then
she took the rose-bush, which she had
laid upon the ground beside her, gave
long kiss to one of the roses and be-
gan to dig little hollow in the earth
with her fingers. In this she planted
the shrub.
Behind her Father John had instinc.
lively taken off his hat, but he soon
put it on his head again, and, out of pa
ticnce with himself for his momentary
forgetfulness, called himself an "old
beast" He decided to finish the little
drama before him by placing his hand
upon the shoulder of the child. His
rough touch made her turn with IA
quick motion, and at his cry, AT last
l have got you, you little thief" she
gave a convulsive moan. Frightened,
then bewildered, like one coming out of
dream, she raised her little face, all
blue with cold, and saw the wrathful
face of the forester, and In her ears
she heard his rough voice menacingly
calling her "a little thief
Then she uttered cry, and looked
rs though she would fee; but, paralyzcd
by fright, she remained nailed to the
ground. Her teeth We're chattering, il
shiver ran through her whole frame,
and her great, aStOnished eyes fixed
themselves upon those of the gardener.
He softened his voice.
Now it seems impossible to me that
this pretty head should belong to a
miserable child thief"
The little one remained mute. Then
anger seized him once more and he
cried, Speak then-tell me where"-
He did not finish, for, without max
ing any effort to escape, the child
dropped her head. Then she moved
her lips as though she were going to

A BRIGHTER DAY Fux IaELANp.

Gladstone's long Home Rule fight in the
British House of Commons is ended.
The bill passed at one o'clock Saturday
morning by vote of 30l to 267. It was
hurried to the House of Lords, which
gave it first reading and adjourned.
The scenes in front of the House after
midnight were exciting. The knowledge
that vote was to be taken attracted
large crowd. There were many Irishmen
in the throng, and the sentiment of the
crowd was generally for home rule and
Gladstone.
When the announcement that the House
had passed the bill was received the
crowd went wild. The police we're
alarmed at the antics and Gordon was
drawn before the members exit. The
crowd surged around the cabs and car
riages and as each member Of any distinc.
ton was recognized he was given cneer
When Gladstone's carriage came out
number of mounted police instantly
surrounded it, but the crowd, when they
learned who was in the carriage, became
beyond control and. breaking through
the Gordon, stopped the carriage and held
it while they cheered the Premier to the
echo. The coachman was enabled to
proceed after few minutes, but by this
time the entire crowd left their positions
and started after this carriage, which was
again stopped and detained while the
crowd cheered and sang "The Conquer.
ing Hero Comes"
Gladstone bowed right and left to his
enthusiastic admirers and was greatly
touched by the fervor OF the people.
The police again cleared the way and the
carriage was allowed to proceed to the
residence without further stoppage.

damaged by the storm, is doing every
thing to help the sufferers. Contribu-

that there is another of still great

tempest will be insignificant. In his
prediction johnson has not laid particu-

has said that it would be followed BY
another which would prove the worst in

that great tidal wave will roll into the
streets of Boston and New York along
