On Sept. %, 1892, General Karl Fried
rich Muller, of the Hanoverian army,
died at Hanover in his ninety-seventh
year. The deceased general was present
on the 10th, 18th and 18th Of October,
1918, at the famous Battle of the Ma
tions," an engagement that cost Ma
poleon $4,000 men, 300 cannon and 900
standards.
Karl Friedrich Muller was present at
Quatre Bras on the 10th and at Water
loo on the 18th Of June, 1915. After the
victory he marched with his battery Of
artillery to Paris and remained in the
French capital during the whole period
Of occupation by the allied armies. Karl
Muller, who began his military career at
fifteen, was never wounded and rose TO
the rank Of a general in the Hanoverian
service.
He retired on pension not long be-
fore the overthrow of his sovereign, with
whose misfortunes he sympathized, and
to whose cause he remained strongly at
tached. On Sept. 30, In presence Of a
vast concourse Of people, this distin-
guished man was buried with full mill

carried by the brave Hanoverians at
Waterloo were unfurled around his

The increase or decrease of population
by natural or artificial causes and the
distribution Of mankind over different
parts of the globe are the dominant fac
tors of the history and condition of the
human race. The rise and fall Of ma
tions and of empires, the progress or
decline Of civilization and the domina-
ton Of man over the uncultivated parts
of the earth are all due to the waves Of
population which are driven by various
causes to new scenes of existence and
new seats of power.
These tidal movements of humanity
have occurred over and over again at
many periods Of the worlds history, but
with great irregularity. There have
been times when the increase of popula-
ton has been slow and its habits seden-
tary. There have been times when the
whole human race seems to have been
in motion, driven by some mysterious
impulse to seek new lands to cultivate
and new homes.-Edinburgh Review.

The shane of the Shoe.

Our Puritan fathers wore shoes mod
erately peaked. About 1850 square toes
made their appearance. In the reign Of
Mary, who died in 1868. there was a
proclamation issued that no person
should wear shoes over two inches wide
at the toes. Square toes began to lose
favor in 1867. In our newspapers from
l71G to 1875 round toes became more
common, and peaked ones less, accord
ing to descriptions given of shoes on
runaway slaves and servants. From
1881 shoe toes continued in a small pro-
portion and became mostly pointed.
This shape lasted nearly a hundred
years. Square toes began again in 1925,
and in 1886 were succeeded by round
