RHoDY STANDS PnE-EN11NENT.
She is still the Most DenseIy POpu-
lated State in the Union.

The census recently taken of the in
habitants of little Rhode Island pre-
serves the states claim, which al
though often disputed, has not been
overcome for more than a century of
being the most thickly populated state
in the Union. Rhode Island is the
smallest of the states in respect of
area, covering only 1900 square miles,
while Delaware has only 2,100, Connec-
ticut 400 and New Jersey $500. But
the population of the state is in excess
Of $50, 900 and increasing rapidly. Dur
ing the first twenty years following the
Revolutionary war Rhode Island,
which became a state in 1890, gained
very little in population, and in the
year 1860 the total population reached
only 10000, or less than half of what
it is today. With the enormous in
crease of manufactures, however, dur
ing and since the close of the war, the
industrial population Of the Unions
smallest state, which now has $40, 000,-
900 invested in the cotton factories, and
as much more in wooden mills, has
taken rapid jump upward. Since the
taking Of tie first federal census in
1890, when there were on the average
siXty-three persons to the square mile
in Rhode Island. until the present,
when the average number is 954, the
state has retained it's distinction Of be-
ing the most closely populated in the
country. Massachusetts has held the
second place and Connecticut had the
third until 1870, when New Jersey
superseded it, and Connecticut fell to
fourth place. Compared with some
European countries, however, the pres
ent density of population does not ap-
pear so great By the last official en-
umeration the population per square
mile in Belgium was $50 and in Eng
land sos. Rhode Island has water
area of 165 square miles, which is more
than one-tenth the total surface of the
state. The gain in its population has
been greatest, of course, in the large
cities, but the manufacturing indus
tries Of Rhode Island are diffused 50
generally that there are more than a
dozen small towns with rapidly in
creasing industrial population. Be
tween 1870 and 1890 Pawtucket in
creased in population from $500 to 81.
900. Woonsocket from 1900 to 10000
and Providence from 6S 600 to 1872 000
Bristol county Rhode Island. which is
south of Providence on the Massachu-
sets border, has an area of only
twenty-five square miles. whereas New
York, prior to the annexation of the
new Westchester territory, had a land
area of forty square miles. An errone-
Gus notion prevails in many quarters
that what regulates the density Of
population in state or county is the
compact habitation of all parts of it,
but the fact is that high percentage
Of population to the square mile comes
from the number of cities and towns
within the state OF county, and rail-
roads or waterways account largely for
these.

CURIOUS MISTAKES.
Made BY Artists. But the Truth
Would Not Be Heroic.

w
In one of the art stores an officer
from Fort Thomas saw the other day
a colored photograveur entitled
Marching Through Georgia" in which
General Sherman was portrayed
mounted upon handsome spirited
horse, which was equipped with the
most perfect housings: the saddle
cloth beautifully trimmed with gold
braid and having the generals rank
embroidered in its corners in heavy
gold bullion, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer. The general was most i'm
maculately dressed in uniform which
would have been perfect even for gar
rison duty. Spotless linen and we'll
blackened shoes. And although the
camDaigner it was the beautiful horse
and his equipment that recalled to his
mind a remark made by the late gen.
eral, when speaking of this very sub
ject. General Sherman said that in
every picture he had ever seen repre-
senting him on the march through
Georgia he was always represented
as mounted upon handsome spirited
horse, with the most perfect housings,
whereas he did not own horse during
that whole campaign, but rode the
greater part of the time an easy-going
government horse belonging to the
quartermaSter's department, and
equipped with plain government sad
die, bride and blanket, and part of the
time he rode a mule. And that for
comfort and easy travel an easy-walk-
ing, quiet old mule for long, hard
marches was his choice. Imagine the
commander of the forces on that cele-
brated march to the sea" portrayed
mounted upon sleepy mule and
dressed in the rough clothing of the
ltal campaigner! The picture would
never sell, but would nevertheless be
true to life. Incongruities are not con-
fined to pictures of Sherman alone, but
a. exist in many pictures of
army and navy life, and in those of
Indians and cowboys, wherein the
great beauty of such pictures lies in
the correctness of the most minute de-
tail
These remarks bring to memory an
absurd statue of Custer which was
erected a short time after his death.
The statue was called Clusters Last
Stand" and was supposed to repre-
sent him at the moment when, sur
rounded by the eight officers, he met
his death, on the 18th of June, 1876.
Cpster was represented dressed in the
Custer was represented dressed in the

and, although a cavalryman, he did
not wear boots. The tout ensemble

"One would naturally suppose that
the most shoes were sold to letter car

the other day, but that is not so.
There are many things harder on shoes
than walking and the man who cannot
go a few blocks without taking a car
often wears out pair quicker than the
one who walks several miles a day.
THE regular walker really knows
how to walk, an art which is not as
common as it used to be before the
day Of elevated roads and cable cars.
The non-waIker is generally a person
of INDECENT disposition, who takes no
more care Of his shoes than Of the rest
of his wardrobe. He breaks them
across the back by forcing them on and
off when they are half Unlaced and he
saves himself the trouble of removing
any mud by applying an extra quantity
of backing. Most of this stuff is full
OF Vitrol and if man would only use
less backing and more oil and elbow
grease he would have fewer cracked
shoes.
But it is neither the walker nor the
careless man who uses up the most

a photograph of an electric light post
that is in use in that city. He says:
"The general use of electricity as a,
means of illumination in our great
cities must, in time, demand some
other kind Of support for the electric
lamp than the unsightly wooden posts
now SO common. Especially is this
need felt on our handsome thorough
fares, such for instance, as the ave
nues in Washington. Here in Copen-
hagen the question has already been
taken up and solved. and there is now
in practical use on Kongens Nytorv

public square Of the city, a post for the
electric lamp which is at once useful
as we'll as ornamental The lamp post
is cast hollow, the wires enter from
the ground and leave the post as
shown in the photograph, and the lamp
is held in position by a weight resting
on a spiral coil. The lamp is drawn
down when required by catching the
ring suspended from the lamp with a
hook at the end of a light pole, with
which the workman is provided. The
wires can be carried into the lamp in
any way desired but to reach the lamp
through the hollow post is considered
here the most practical"
