The French statistician, M. Bertil-
Ion, has compiled some interesting facts
regarding the population of Paris and
other great capitals. Only 80 per cent
of its present population was born in
Paris, and this percentage has remained
practically the same for the last &c
years. The native population in st. Pc.
tersburg is 80 per cent; Al in Berlin,

eral opinion, 60 in London-the high.

''I've got to have something to fill
out this column with, :" said the foreman
of the Spiketown Blizzard, poking his
head into the editorial sanctum. "That's
all there is about it. I've run in all the
dead ads and all the catch lines and
slugged everything out till there isn't
even piece of wood reglet left in the
office, and I'm short yet half dozen
lines or more.
Whereupon Editor Clugston sat down
and wrote as follows: Owing to the
crowded state of our columns this week
we are compelled to omit several inter
esting communications now standing
in type. Friends will please bear with
us. Advertisers must be accommodated.
Until the pressure ON our columns has
eased up correspondents will please
write briefly and confine themselves to
simple statements of fact. Chicago

A MESSAGE FROM THE GALE.
Listening on the Ice Floe to the Roar Of
the Coming Storm.

Listening on the Ice Fioe to the Roar OF
the Coming Storm.
When the swell is heavy in the ice
pack, it is often very difficult to ascer-
tain from which direction it comes, and
Just as difficult as it is, just SO impor-
tant may it be that it should be found
out rightly, as the safety of the ship
might wholly depend upon correct judg-
ment as to this. When the huge ice
masses begin to move and screw and
press on the sides Of the vessel, rising
and falling in heavy swell, then there
is only one escape--namely, to work the
vessel into the fields away from the side
from which the gale blows. A mistake
as to the direction of the running swell
has often proved fatal, and the mistake
is easily made.
An old arctic sealer told me how in
hours of dread in the arctic icepack he
had laid his ear down to the ice foe and
listened to the roar of the coming swell
that terrible message from the furious
gale-and how he thus had discovered
whence the gale was pressing and had
been able to save the ship from destruc-
ton. tried his method and found that
it worked admirably. What is we'll
worth noticing is that open water nearly
always is to be found in the ice pack ON
one side Of icebergs. The icebergs that
we met were generally in motion, car
ried onward by the ruling current. Of
ten they ran forward in the icetields at
a speed of several knots, piling up the
huge foes before their cold, glittering
bows, but behind them they left an open
sheet of water large enough for any ship.
Now, there would of course be many
dangers for vessel tugged along in the
ice pack by such floating monster, but
believe nevertheless that this method
might be instrumental In saving ves-
sci from being crushed when the icefield
is moving heavily. &C. E. Borchgrevink
in Century.

the Rev. DR.. Tiff It is true that the
constitution provides that mo public
money or property shall be appro-
priated for or applied to any religious
worship, exercise or instruction, or for
the support of any ecclesiastical
establishment: but that the prayers Of
fered up each day in the legislature
of the state come within the consti-
tutional inhibition very few people
will believe The gentleman who
wrote the above letter knows there is
a spirit of the law as well as the
letter of it, and he further knows that
in the law as in ethics or religion if the
letter killeth. it is the spirit that
giveth life; and in paying the min
listers for the prayers they offer in the
legislature there is no violation of
the spirit of the constitution.
We are of the opinion that Mr..
Schroeder wrote his communication
for the humor of it If not, and he is
really in earnest in his determination
to have religious opening service dis
continued in the legislature, and means
it when he invokes the aid of the
gentleman addressed in his letter, we
/ ask Mr.. Schroeder to pause in his eff
forts and think how much this legis-
lature stands in need of prayer, both
that it may obtain light for the fu-
ture, and forgiveness for the past.

B1ERcE TO FIGHT HUNr1NeroN.

The other day w. r. Hearst, editor
of the San Francisco Examiner, and
the New York Journal, telegraphed Mr.,
Ambrose Bierce at San Francisco as
follows:
Railroad combination so strong in
Washington that seems almost impos-
sible to break them, yet it is certainly
the duty of all having interests of the
coast at heart to make most siren
uous efforts. VIII you please go to
Washington for the Examiner? [ will
send Davenport from here, and the
Journal will use whatever power it has
to assist. Please answer quick.
To this Mr.. Bierce answered as fol-
lows:
I shall be glad to do whatever I can
toward defeating Mr.. Huntington S
funding bill and shall start for Wash
ington on Monday evening next.
These two kilograms tell the story
of Mr.. Bierce's mission to Washington
That he will make great fight, fair
and honest, and that when he is
through Mr.. Huntington will know he
has been in a fight, there is no doubt
in the world. The Examiner says he
has been the most formidable oppo-
nent the railroad monopoly ever had in
California. He yields a most caustic
pen, and his wit is SO keen that it
pierces a man before he realizes what
is the matter with him. His ''Prattle"
in the Sunday Examiner has been for
years one of it's chief and most attrac-
tive features. He was always a free
lance in the best sense of that term.
and his style was modelled on that of
the great British essayists, than which
there is none more charming. Ambrose
Bierce was the pleasantest prattler on
all the Pacific coast. For once in his
life Mr.. Huntington is entitled to SYM
pathy.

owHo SAID RATS 2"

For long, long time past, old Eng
land has been regarded as being to
some extent in state of decrepitude.
This idea or impression may have
arisen from associating the name of
her venerable and universally respected
queen with the English government
itself. The public imagination has
been filled with ideas of the great
armies of the continent and they have
seemed to overshadow everything else
England has no great army when COM
pared with those of France, Germany
and Russia, and this fact has seemed
to diminish her Importance in inter-
national questions. But the tight
little island has not been idle all
these years and has never ceased to
increase and strengthen her naval de-
fences. William Of Germany sent a
congratulatory telegram to the presi-
dent of the Transvaal republic which
telegram had the same effect upon the
drowsy British lion that the cry of
rats" did upon the sleeping terrier

Talk About the nIormons.

In 1847 1 first went to Utah, then the
Mormon empire. Brigham Young was in
his glory. in the full zenith of his power,
then the president of the church, it's
prophet. seer and revelator. Never on this
continent and hardly over any people
in the history of the world was the in
f1uence of one man more surely felt and
exercised. His word was law, the beck
of his finger was a command. He ruled
with self-possession, always studying for
the pecuniary interest of the people, Civ
ing forth from his large experience and
his distinguished ability so far as their
worldly affairs were concerned the best
of advice and judgment. At that time
very few indeed in the Mormon church
doubted his power or disobeyed his COM
mand. He was supreme not only in
worldly affairs. questions of taxation or
political positions such as mayors of
cities. representatives to the legislature.
both in the house and the senate of the
territory, but above all was he supreme
as the head of the church to which ODE
dience was the first law. A man of dis
tinguished personality, of greater self
possession than 1 have ever seen in any
man. practical in every sense of the
word and he was one of the most deter
mined characters in all history.-L. E.
