Professor Max Muller was giving
luncheon at All Souls college, Oxford,
TO the Princess Alice, the wife of tho
Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt and the
second daughter of Queen Victoria.
There were not a dozen guests besides
the princess and her husband and a
very agreeable luncheon was had, with
talk on all kinds Of interesting subjects.
But what excited the curiosity Of all
strangers present was set Of littls

methods he should pay visit TO this

the shed were barrels Of flour, hogsheads
of molasses, lard, pork, etc. In the va
rious rooms of the house goods of divers
kinds were piled on the floor and tables.

OF POLITICAL IMPORTANCE.
Rapid Increase of Population in Germany
Need OF an Outlet.

The rapid increase of population in
Germany, due, il is believed, to the in
crease of manufactures, is becoming Of
political Importance, says the Specta-
tor. According TO the corrected return
OF the census, taken on December 2,
1895, the empire now contains 52,2i4,-
500 inhabitants. while France contains
only 80 100000. The Germans, more
over, add at least 100000 to their
number every ten years, while the
French may be said not 10 increase at
all. As both countries train every
available man, the German army must
always be greater than the French, and
In another generation will be greater
by more than third. again. il is
doubtful whether Germany, which is
naturally a far poorer country than
France, can long sustain its population,
which must therefore. either emigrate
In increasing numbers or burst out in
some direction into lands less over
full. 1t is believed TO be a clear per-
ception OF these facts which makes some
ruling men in Germany 50 eager for a
dependency into which Germans
might swarm. They would not swarm
even if they got one. The idea Of the
German emigrunt Is 10 escape official

the Hungarian language is a sort OF

writer in Nineteenth Century. Ger

A LESSON TO GLOUCESTER.
Smallpox Epidemic Teaches People tho
Value OF Vaccination.


The recent outbreak Of smallpox in
the slums of Gloucester was, according
to recent reports in the London Stand
ard. very serious affair. Eleven VT
sons are known to have been removed
TO the hospital in two days in one par
ticular court. The neighborhood re-
ferred 10 is in an exceedingly dirty con-
dition, and crowded TO excess.
medical man states that not one
single person who has been successfully
revaccinated has been admitted to any
OF the hospitals suffering from the dis
ease.
Every facility is now offered to the
working classes 10 be vaccinated or re.
vaccinated, free OF expense, with cal
lumph if desired, either at their own
homes or at the numerous vaccination
stations which have been temporarily
opened in all parts of the city.
The effect of the epidemic on many
trudes was disastrous, business in
some cases being almost at standstill.
Diapers, tailors, dealers in furniture,
etc, were greatly affected, while the re-
ceipts Of tram-cars were little more
than one-half the amount taken at or
binary times, and this Notwithstanding
the fact that on the windows Of each
car notice was posted stating that tho
conveyance was regularly disinfected.
With reference TO the cost of the cpl.
demic TO the city a prominent official in
formed me that, judging from past ex-
perence. he estimates that this will be
AT least 10000 or G 1900.
