Growth of Cities.

The fact that the big European cities
have been growing so much faster than
those of the United States is pointed
out by DR.. Albert Shaw in his recent
book on municipal government in Eu-
rope. In 1870 New York had 10000
more people than Berlin; in 1880 Ber-
lin had outstripped New York, and still
maintains it's lead. In 1875 Hamburg
had S4S,OO0 people and Boston $4,000;
in 1890 Hamburg had 569, 26O and Bos-
ton $4,000. Baltimore was once as big
as Hamburg, but it has long been dis
tanced. Breslau used to be smaller
than Cincinnati; it has now distanced
it. Cleveland and Buffalo and Pitts
burg were all in 1880 bigger than
Cologne, but Cologne was much the
biggest in 1890. Dresden is growing
more quickly than New Orleans. Han
over, though sleepy place, is growing
as qickly as Louisville or Jersey City.

Chairs Were Scarce but She Was Progress
sive and Secured One.
1t was noon in large quick lunch
place. A young woman, comedy as we'll
as self reliant, entered and glanced de-
liberately around in search of a va
cant chair, says the Philadelphia
Press. She saw one that appeared to
be unoccupied and, providing herself
with a cranberry tart and a cup of
coffee, started to take possession of
1t. But mans hat was on the chair
and the owner of the hat happened
to be at her elbow with lis modest
luncheon in his hand. BEG pardon,
but this seat is engaged" he said. Re-
turning to the counter the young wo-
man put down her tart and coffee and
started to find an empty chair. She
found one in a remote corner Of the
big eating room and, raising her hand
to her head, she pulled out couple of
hairpins and flung her hat into the
chair with defiant There, that's TAX
EN-! She then brought over her tart
and coffee and enjoyed them in the
consciousness that she was dependent
upon no mans gallantry for the COM
forts of life.

she whispered to her companions,

parted, and she released her grasp
upon her skirts, when a dead mouse
fell upon the floor. She felt the in
truder cavorting about her, but she
never screamed scream or tried to
mount the table or the letter boxes.
She just gripped him, stood quiet and
squeezed the life out of that rodent
body.

oHosrLY TEAS A PARIS FAD.
Uncanny O'Clock Gatherings Under
Phosphorescent Lights.

Phosphorcscent Lights.
In the restless effort to find new
means of stimulating the jaded appe-
titles of social pleasure-seekers France
holds her own well, says the Nashville
Banner. Her latest and the most
freakiSh idea is the "5 o'clock phos-
phorescent tea," which is comblna-
ton Of the stock in trade of spiritual
istic fakirs with the schoolgirl tricks
of juvenile party. Five o'clock In
when curtains are usually drawn and
lamps are lit. Instead of lamps the
guests, the furniture and the cups and
saucers furnish the light at the phos-
phorescent teas. On walls, ceiling, d.
vans, chairs, carpets and costumes
there Is spread a phosphorescent sub
stance that absorbs light during the
day and at night causes the room to
glow with weird, unholy light. The
effect is said to be so unearthly that
every one moves about the room with
cautious, timid step and the CONVEX
sation is Involuntary carried on in
subdued tones, as though a funeral
were the subject under discussion.
CHASTITY and ghostly seem the guests,
weird and woe-begone the faces of the
servants who hand around the gleam-
ing tea-cups, while the hostess, in her
phosphorescent costume, looks like an
unholy wanderer from the spirit world.
All that is needed to make the illu-
sion OF unearthiness complete Is the
presence Of the ghostly musicians, who,
half hidden behind banks of phosphor-
escent shrubbery, produce slow and
mythical melodies from instruments
that sparkle and flame with the same
substance that Eliminates the tea
room. The substance used is a patent
mixture that is guaranteed not to emit
an obnoxious odor. With the ordin-
airy phosphorescence the company
would either have to meet with doors
and windows wide open, to allow the
sulphuric smell to escape, or run the
risk of asphyxiation. So much of q
success has it become, in fact, that the
phosphorescent ball is an event that
will come off in Paris shortly. The
programme for the ball is based on the
same idea as the tea, and the effect
will be still more weird and striking
Instead of the sulphuric guests sitting
quietly around a room discussing tea
and exchanging gossip couples wrap
ped in cleaning garments of dull flame
will glide around the darkened ball
room like spirits of the departed in the
deserted halls Of a ruined mansion.
