NEW YORk'S GROWTH.

The City Has Never Halted Since 1t Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes paper on the
Greater New York, entitled Reasoning
Out Metropolis, - for St. Nicholas.
Mr. Ingersoll says:
The people of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearly north
ern towns resolved to join themselves
together into one city, which is now the
Greater New York It embraces. I'll
square miles Of territory and includes
population of nearly >, 400, 000
Besides these at least another million
dwell on the New Jersey side Of the
Hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs This
makes population of nearly 4, 500, 900
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center of human life and inter-
ests III America, but, excepting only
London, the most populous spot on the
globe.
How has it happened that this vast
city has grown up where it stands?
Why did not the American metropolis
arise somewhere else? Is its position all
an accident, or does history show sound
reasons fer its situation: The earliest
settlement here was merely a trading
station that gradually became small
seaport, like IA dozen others along the
coast. Before the year 100 these were
SO nearly alike that he would have been
wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to be the two great
American seaports.
Great cities arise at the points where
the greatest number of people find it
convenient to meet at first for business
and later Tor pleasure. \ GU cannot force
city to grow i'll all unnatural or insult
able situation, and 1t is no easier to pre-
vent L city from growing i'll its proper
place. But the conditions that change
village into big town and expand the
town into city or metropolis are not
the same III different parts of the globe
and vary with the march of the CEN
turtles; so that now many an ancient
world market, like Nlneveh or Menu
phls, has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
with amazing rapldity, after long his
tory as small and Insignificant places.
AS for New York, it has never halted
| or gone backward for 4 moment since
1t was fairly started Oh its career in

Antitac Mr. Banting's Joke.

The late George von BulseD, the ac-
complished and delightful sen ct the
baroness whose Life and Letters are
well known in America, once told me
an anecdote of the late Princess Mary
Of TecE AID the celebrated Dantiag.
The princess became, in hor middle life,
enormously stout, and finding her
weight burden tried several methods
OF reducing it. AT last, having heard
much Of Eanting, she sent for him. She
was surprised to see that he was still
extremely LUiky, and after few civil
preparatory remarks she said, But
your system has not made you very thin,
Nj. Banting."
ALLOW me, madam" said Ranting.
And proceeding to rnbutton his coat
be disclosed a large wire structure over
which the garment fitted. Inside was
the real Banting, incased in another
coat.
'This, madam" said he, pointing
with pardonable satisfaction to his
cage, "Was my size before | commenced
dieting" He then nimbly disembarrass.
ed himself Of his framework and stood
before the royal lady exhibiting his ele.

Apparently the interview led to moth

end OF her days.-Exchange

suol, n Nice Old Man.

A young lady was on a railway jour
ney up north. a suave old gentleman
sitting opposite to her presently bent
forward and said, with gentle reproof:
Excuse me, but do you think il
wise, when there are so many thieves
about, to carry your pocketbook SO con-
spicuously?"
As he spoke he pointed to her purse,
which was projecting slightly from hel
pocket.
The girl, considering the stranger
rather offieious, thrust the purse dowp
into her pocket and thanked him with
stiff reserve, perhaps trifle scornfully.
At the next station the old gentle
man got out As he did so he turned tc
his pretty companion with polite bow
and the mischievous indulgence of his
years:
ALLOW me to restore your pocket
book. You see it was not SO hard to
lose as you supposed. -
So saying, he held out to her the
purse she had supposed safely reposing
i'll her pocket. She received it, coloring
with childIike modification, thanked
him profusely. and her old friend took
his leave with friendly smile.
A few minutes later, when the man
came round to collect tickets, the girl
discovered her purse to be minus ticket
and cash. Pearson s Weekly.

THE BEAUTIFUL.

Wrinkled and old are those hands Of
hers,
Hard and full of the seams
OF labor and the years,
Knotted the knuckles
And creased and crinkled
The skin on the backs of them,
Dark veined and large,
With splotches Of brown
Between the drawn tendons,
As if scared by tears,
Thick the nails and blunted,
Rough and with little ridges
Running the length Of them,
Callous the palms
And lacking all pinllness and prettiness.
Old are those hands Of hers,
Wrinliled and hard.
But, oh, what story of
Infinite tenderness
And love
Could they tell,
Those hands of woman
Whose threcscore years and ten
Have been passed in doing the good
That women dol

San Francisco, Dec. 14.--Terribl0
atrocities are reported from FormOsa.
Two hundred rebels recently attacked
a village, surprising the people and
looting the place. They burned ~
houses. A Japanese police inspector
and six constables persisted in repel'
ling the attack. One constable waa
captured alive. The insurgents fas.
tened on his back the bloody heads of
his companions and drove him before
them into the woods. Reinforcementa
we're sent to the village, where the
mutilated bodies Of the victims were
found. One constable who escaped
killed his own wife and child with his
Japanese sword to prevent them from
becoming captives. He was then
killed by the savages.
There is much disquietude among
the inhabitants Of Hankow since the
recent Are, in which 5000 people lost
their lives. Several smaller fires have
occurred since, all believed to be the
work Of incendiarism. The Shanghai
Daily Press says Ave Chinese were
caught in the act Of igniting as many

HOnoru to the President


Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 16.-The second
day OF the Atlanta peace jubilee
opened auspiciously. The tempera-
ture had relaxed its rigor consider.
ably and warmth in the rays OF the

an hour to their mail The president
spent the morning in his room. He
was called on by Col. William A.
Hemphill, president of the jubilee as
ISOLATION, and several other prominent
citizens, who extended greetings and
inquired for his health. The ovation
given President Mckinley at the capi-
tai yesterday by the members of the
Legislature was the greatest reception
ever given an American citizen in At
lanta and his speech having relation
to the care of confederate dead has
fred the hearts of southerners with
admiration for the chief executive.
Gen. Wheeler is cheered at every step
and Gems. Lawton, Young, Oates and
other army officers are heartily re-
ceived at each appearance.
The feature of the day was the civic
and military parade which passed
through the streets during the after
noon. Starting from the corner Of
Garnet and whitehall streets the pro-
cessiOn proceeded to Exposition park
over Alabama, Broad, Marietta and
Peachtree streets. The parade con-
sisted of ten divisions under command

dren, 400 carriages containing 1000
people, 1000 members of secret or

Washington, Dec 1.-THE house
Judiciary committee gave hearing to
the Gillet bill to prohibit the use of
the telegraph and telephone lines for
the purpose Of lottery and race horse
gambling. Anthony Comstock and
DIR. WILDER II. Crafts appeared before
the committee. Anthony ComstoclS
said he had information of the seizure
by the post office authorities OF over
1900, 900 lottery blanks, demonstrating
that lotteries were in existence. He
claimed their business was carried on
through the telegraph and telephone
companies The pending bill, tit be-
comes a law, he said, would take away
the last means of communication
which these companies possessed and
make the prosecution OF their nefari-
GUS business impossible. The bill
would also prevent the transmission
of race track information for gambling
purposes and stop pool selling.
