bride mounts her horse and gallops off pur-

To be caught by the favored one. In one
part of China the marriageab youths and
naidens assemble in the projects court
yard and sit opposite to each other in two
lines, crossing over to select their partners
as the spirit moves them. Should there be

law steps in and settles matters. In an
other province of the celestial empire they
play at ball. during the 1eaping months,
with balls attached to colored strings and
the tying of these strings together consti-
tuteS a proposal. In a third region of China
ehe maiden climbs tree and the lover
climbs up after her and fetches her down.
Among the ancientS. as with some eastern
nations at the present day, courtshiDs and
proposals were always made through a
third party. The Egyptians, Greeks and
Romans. like the Hindoos and Chinese of
today, wooed their brides by means of a
professional matchmaker. Women were
well suppressed in those days, and the iCea

favor was Incompatible with mans notion
OF the superiority of his sex. Marrissg yes
or a1ectiOn were almost unknown. The
ancients only fell in love with courtesans
or slaves or captives. Among the Spar

fiuence is visible in the choice of some Of
the designs, as, for instance, in the "Dani-

Damask towelng Is executed on the same
lines, with a broad band of color above a

toweling is generally rendered more at
tractive by the addition of an initial letter
woven in the fabric or worked on afterward
by the embroidery machine. The cost of
this is so small hardly to increase the
price of the article. Glasscloths, busters

fashionable in Ireland. In 1884 a law was
made to punish all such as carried away
"maydens that be inheritous," but as the
evil of running away with heiresses in
creased IL was made a capital crime in
1900. This law was imperative from the be-
lief that the offender was not liable If the
woman abducted him. the girl generally
mounted first and pulled the man up behind
her. She then galloped off with her lover
stopping at the first church to get married.
Frequently, when the young lady was car
ried off really against her consent by the
time the dashing ride was over she was
completely reconcile1 to her abductor So
that prosecutions were fewer than the of
lenses. A memorable case was that of the
Edgeworth family. The son fell in love
with an heiress. but feared to abduct her
as the penalty was death and the parents
were obdurate. so the spirited girl procured
the heetest steed she could find, seized the
young fellow. dragged him I'D behind her on
the horse and galloped off with him to the
priest. The abducted youth kicked and
screamed and made such a show of resist
ance that there were plenty of witnesses to
testify to the fact of his forcible abduction

try i'm family archives and also for the
reason that the confederate navy de- art
ment in Richmond, with all its contents
was burned at the close Of the war Each
year adds to the difficulty of collection
and hence the Navy Department has
of late been making vigorous efforts to
obtain the missing papers before all trace
of them Is lost. To this end the naval
records office has been in correspondence
recently with Capt. James ID. Bulloch of
Liverpool, England, who was confederate
naval agent abroad during the war. and
who has in his possession mass of val
liable material covering the outfit of the
confederate cruisers. 1t is stated also
that there are many original confederate
archives of exceeding value in the collec-
ton of the British Museum.
Mr.. b. F. Stevens of London. the con-
fidential agent of the State Department
has been requested to examine them end
make report as to their character. and no
doubt all Of these papers can be copied and
used in the forthcoming history.
The marvellous popularity of the army
records of the rebellion is due not so much
perhaps, to the manner form in which
they are set down as to the importance CT
the subject and the overwhelming number
of people directly and personally interested
in the movements therein related. At all
events, no book ever published by the gov
eminent thus far has met with so great a
war records, however, this situation is ex-
actly reversed. While in the Union and
confederate armies there were in the neigh
borhood of 3.o0o,o00 enlistments in the
navies of the north and south there We're
not over 1J0.0OO enlistments. And unlike
the army war records, which consist large
ly of dispatches separate orders and mes
sages chronologically arranged. the naval
war records are not disjointed. but con-
tinuing, the record of each cruise engage
nent or blockade being necessarily from
the nature of things. drawn out in most
instances without break or interruption
from beginning to end. This fact will
make the work all the more acceptable to
the reader who reads simply for the pleas
ure of it. Instead. therefore. of the ma
val war records depending for their in
terest upon the body of men who partici-
pated in the actions detailed in the text
they contain in themselves, intrinsically
as living literature of most attractive
kind, the essential elements of interest
and vitality that are bound to make them
popular for an indefinite period of time
and besides will furnish. when published
an official and graphic story of the work
accomplished by the navy on both sides

From the Westminster Budget.
The tavorite name Of Goblet for London
the wen"--is going TO be truer than IL
ever has been, If we can trust some re-
markedly interesting statistics just issued
by the London county council. One ques-
ton discussed is whether London is or is
not being checked in its rate OF growth.
On first glance at the registrars figures
with regard to London itself il appeared as
though il Were, for before lssi-9l London
population was increasing every ten years
at rate varying from Is TO Il per cent,
but In the decade ending with 1921 the rate
OF increase had only been 10 per cent
DOCS this mean. asks the committee OF
Whlcn Mr.. Costelloe is chairman, that
London has reached the turning point. and
that IN a few years the Increase will bee
come decreaseT The committee finds that
II does not. Ii appears that the true reason
Tor the apparent diminishing rate of in
crease is that the building space in London
is gradually being appropriated and that
the people. aided by improved railway and
tram~ay and omnibus accommodation are
petaking themselves more to outside Lon-
don residences. Even in Greater London
TINS Is noticed to a smaller extent The rate
OF increase in Population, while still very
RAPID in Greater London. is beginning 10
show tendency to become slower. and n A.
discovered that the Londoners are moving
stun further out into the home counties
ihen tflere are speculations to what the
size OF London will be fifty years hence or
less upon the milder suggestions. II we do
NOT add any more to the population than
the amount per decade that has been added
since 1881, IL seems that We should have a
population in l:lIl of close upon l0.oUoDo.
III We allow for a growth at the rate Of the
natural increase Of births over deaths there
VIII be nearly 11,OO0.0oo in London in that
year. III We reckon that London will grow
al the average rate Of the last three de-
cades, We shall be over 14.0D,oOO; but IL
inner London and outer London go on to-
sether growing at the rate they have been
growing Tor the past three tens Of years,
We are to expect a London population I'm
lsil OF frifiing 11.59O.U0. II we look at
the matter in another way, and ask what
population Greater London will contain
when IL has attained throughout the mean
density of weil-known areas, We get the
following appalling circulation:
III Greater London were only peo-
pied as densely as Hampstead, Il
would contain a population of. .l3,oOO,Ooo
III IL were peorled on an average
as densely as Fulham is now.
the population would be.......... 20. 00O.OH
III IL were peopled at the rate of St
Georges. Hanover square. the
total would rise to................ .30.0n.OO
Whitechapel is now three times as dense

Is obvious.
