DON'T CROWD.
There Is Room Enough in the Unit
ed states for 9l5.766.3OO People.

Have yon any idea of the number Of
persons that the United States would
sustain without overcrowding the popues
lation, or even going beyond the limit of
density now shown by the State of Rhode
Island? The last census Of the pigg1moy
State just gives it a population of $780,
900. The area of the State in square
miles is only 1850, thus we find that
there is an average of 31S persons on
every square mile of her territory.
We can best Illustrate the sustaining
capacity of the whole of the. United
States and of the other States by MAX.
ing some comparisons: The State of
Texas has an area of 265, $50 square miles;
and, were it equally as densely populated
as Little Rhody," would comfortably
itants-a greater numdaer of persons
than the whole country Is expected to
all over the whole land from the Attain
tic to the Pacific, and from the Gulf to
the British possessions as thickly as they
are now in Rhode Island, and we would
have 945, 766, 800 inhabitants, instead of
an insignificant $1,000, 600.
In other words, If the United States
could be, peopled to their utmost sustain
ing capacity, we could take care of near
ly two-thirds of the globe of the present
population of the globe.

ANNOUNCING THE ENGAGEMENT.

An engagement should be announced
first by the family of the bride-elect,
writes Mrs. Burton Harrison, in the La
dies Home Journal" This is done either
verbally and informally to friends or by
note to those whom it is desired shall re-
ceive early information. The man may
at the same time write to those of his
friends whom he desires to have share in
his happiness and whom the girls family
could not SO well reach. Churlish, in
deed, would be the spirit to withhold in
terest In q new engagement, and the tel
ling OF 1t by the principals almost always
those told. Lovers have, perhaps, the
best founded claim to thinking themsel-
yes of first interest to a community of
any class of people, and are quite enti-
tied to assume all the honors and priv
ileges of the situation.
