During the American Revolution an
English magazine published an estimate
of the North American colonies Plac-
ing the population then at 1900, 900
and assuming that it would double it
self every % years. the writer estimated
that in the year 1890 the number would
have increased to Ga, 900, ZOO. This may
be taken as most remarkable prophecy,
inasmuch as the census of 1890 fixes
the total population at 62,622, $50.

LAFAYETTE'S FAMOUS VISIT.

There Was Great Excitement Over His
Trip to the United States.
Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes
in The Ladies' Home Journal Of When
Lafayette Rode Into Philadelphia,
says that sit is difficult to understand
at this late day what furore of ex-
citement passed over this country when
Lafayette arrived once more in Amer
lea. The visit is historic event to be
remembered while memory endures.
During President Monroe's second adj
ministration the United States extended
its invitation to Lafayette. He arrived
at Staten Island on Aug. Is Sunday,
1924, accompanied by his son, George
Washington Lafayette, and also by his
son-in-law. A formal reception took
place on the following day, the first
fruits of the most abundant harvest of
welcome which Lafayette was to receive
during his year of travel through the
United States.
Lafayette was 81 years old when he
visited America as the nations guest
and carried his years lightly. His head
was shaped like that of Burns. He had
a high forehead, long, aquiline nose
and a rather thin face. His hair was
sandy and quite plentiful. His eyes
were dark gray, restless and twinkling,
his eyebrows light in color, but heavily
marked. His mouth was firm, and his
lips smiled courteously at the holiday
crowd assembled to do him honor. The
general was not very tall, but we'll
made. His face was distinctly pleasant,
and its expression was an odd mixture
of shrewdness, decision and gay good
humor. His costume was swallow
tailed coat and trousers of dark brown,
with great display of white waistcoat
and neckcloth. A bunch of seals hung
from broad black ribbon at his waist
Over his shoulders hung q cloth riding
cloak, greenish blue in color and lined
with red "
