STATE BOUNDARIES.
How Alterations Have Been Made
Au Over the Country.
The Changing of the Lines Has Resulted
in the Loss Of Large Tracts Of
Land tn Many of the East
ern States.

Connecticut's discovery that she is
some square miles larger than she sup
posed is not remarkable, since some
thing of the kind has happened to per-
haps every state and territory in the
union, says the New York Sun. ANY
man who bets on state areas by the
figures of thirty years ago will lose
The fathers of to-day who happen to
have good memories find themselves
puzzled when they hear their children
reading areas out of the current school
textbooks. Anyone who will take
the trouble to compare the areas given
in the census reports of 1890 and those
in the reports previous to 1880 will find
surprising differences. The census SUI
perintendents don't trouble themselves
to ascertain areas. They accept what
they obtain from official sources. The
general land Office is one source of infor-
nation, and doubtless official state
surveys are accepted. In 1880 the SUI
perintendent of the census used a re-
vised set of areas and Superintendent
Porter accepted the figures of that de-
cade or followed the same authorities.
The superintendents of the census
adopt an arbitrary rule of regarding all
regions having less than two inhabi-
tants to the square mile as unsettled"
In most Of the New England and mid
| die Atlantic states there are no such
unsettled areas. Superintendent Por-
ter found about 1000 square miles of
the Maine woods and 1000 square miles
Of the Adirondacks region unsettled.
The other unsettled areas of the north
east are hardly worth considering.
The discrepancies between the set
| tied areas reported in the census of 1870
and those reported in 1890 are rather
startling. New Hampshire lost in
those twenty years more than 450
square miles. Massachusetts gained in
the same time nearly $50 square miles.
Vermont lost nearly LOO square miles
and Rhode Island more than 200 Con-
necticut gained O5 square miles. New
Jersey lost more than $50 square miles
and Maryland lost more than 1900
square miles. Even poor little Della
ware lost 100 square miles and in the
! census of 1900 she will show still diff
ferent area as the result of her recent
dickering with Pennsylvania. AS to
the newer states, which might reasona-
bly, be expected to show changes in set
| tied area from one decade to another,
the figures given in the census reports
of 1870 and in those of 1890 vary in even
| greater degree. Nearly all the larger
states, whether old or new, show con-
siderable losses in area since 1870. New
York lost nearly 500 square miles;
Pennsylvania rather more than 1000;
Virginia nearly 1000, and North Caro-
lima over 2,10O. Florida gained nearly
1000 square miles, probably the result
Of an extension of the settled area.
Ohios gain of nearly LOCO is hardly
traceable to the same source, though
rains of 800 square miles in Tlfroio "-oS
i3O in Iowa are probably assignable TO
this cause.

last October the corner stone OF the
church was laid, and the work of
building the edifice was pushed as rap
idly as possible, so that before the
dawn of the new year the walls were up
to the first story. The cold was in
tense at this time, and some of the
masons employed on the building ac-
quired the habit of depending upon
stimulants to keep their blood in circu-
lation. Consequently a large quart
flask was brought into requisition, and
frequent trips were made from time to
time to hotel to keep it filed
with the enliyening fluid The men
had their whisky with great regular
ity until an incident occurred unex-
pectedly one day that upset their cal
culations for the time being.
The flask had just been replenished,
and the men were making ready to en-
JOY it, when they were startled by the
sudden appearance of Father Mulligan
in company with several other ecclesi-
astics, who had come to make an in
spection Of the progress of the work.
The man who had the flask happened
TO be quick-witted, or the secret would
have been out. Without moments
hesitation he quickly slowed the flask
in between the inner and outer walls,
while the other men went on with
their work, consoling themselves with
the thought of the good cheer that
awaited them when the visitors de-
parted. They reckoned in vain.
Father Mulligan and his friends re-
NAMED close to where the men were
working for a long time. Although
the wall was gradually inclosing the
precious whisky bottle, the masons did
not dare stop work for fear of exciting
suspicious.
When the party finally took its de.
parture, to their dismay the masons
found that the flask was out OF sight,
and all efforts to get it were unavail-
ing. They did not dare tear the wall
down to get it, so the whisky remained
in the wall, and the filling of cement
sealed it securely.
The men who were engaged in erect
ing the building lived out of town, and
the story Of the flask was recalled sew.
eral days ago. when one of the men,
who was visiting this city, went to the
church to attend service, and thus had
the incident brou pht to his memory.

A POSSIBLE CzAREvNA.
Princess sibylis and the Strange Afllctions
OF Ifcr Family.

Princess Sibylle of Hesse, whose en-
gagement to the czarevitch was repeat
edly announced last summer--owing
mainly to the fact that she was staying
with her mother at the court OF Den
mark during the entire period of the
Russian visit there-is very attrac.
tive girl, and in many respects it must
be matter for regret that the rumors
on the subject have not as yet been
confirmed. The princess is q niece of
Queen Louise of Denmark, the sister
of her father, the late Landgrave of
Hesse. These Ilesses are only dis
family related to the grand duke of
Hesse-Darmstadt; and whereas the
latter is the head of the younger
branch of the ancient house of Hesse,
Princess Sibylles people constitute the
