No "Superiluous Women."

The Government has published a map showing for each State in the Un ion the number of unmarried men and unmarried women over twenty years of age.
 With a peculiarly childlike faith the census officials believe that they know the exact ages of all the "unattached females" and accordingly they are grouped in five-year periods. In that particular the statistics are manifestly untrustworthy, but apart from that the figures are absolute.
 And they are very astonishing. They show definitely that the surplus wo- man. is myth. There is no surplus of women. There is a shortage of ?. 100000. There are in the United States 5,427 ,767 bachelors over twenty years of age, and only 3,225,494 unmarried women above that age.
 But this is the least astonishing part of the matter. The chart shows that III lDSOluttlJ CNtiS oieitO 'iiSi io hii S+N cess of bachelors over maidens.
 Even in Massachusetts, where tradi- ton fixes the home of the surplus wo- man." there are 226,OS4 bachelors and only 2l9, ,255 spinsters.
 In Rhode Island there are ? per cent. more bachelors than unmarried wo- men, in New Hampshire 9 per cent, in Connecticut 20 per cent, in New Jersey and Virginia p per cent, while in Ida ho the excess of bachelors over maids is 1000 per cent, there being 16,5Si un- married men and only l,426 single wo men. Wyoming and Arizona closely follow, while all the far western states have reason to regard woman as one of the "precious metals" because of her scarcity.
 But the one fact of greatest interest is that there it in the country not one single state which has not men enough to furnish husband apiece for all it's women.-World.

War Enthusiasm Cooled.

i In small Virginia town two ven turesome young Negroes, daZzled by the war-glory talk of the enlister, made him verbal promise to meet him at the depot on a certain day and sign their papers and go away to the camp which he represented. The day came and a huge crowd of their people went to the depot to see them off. The two lads were the heroes of the hour, and bore themselves with much swaggering jauntiness, until a preacher called the crowd to order that they might all pray for their departing brothers.
 In that prayer he held out no hope of return, but resigned them wholly to death and the Spanish bullets. "Oh, Lord, desc boys is been mighty dancin', banjo pickin' young uns, but, oh, Lord, when de shells is a-bustin' round 'em sabe dey souls, even if dey bodies is gwine down to de black pit" The eX- citable crowd caught the spirit of the prayer, and began to vail as if already at death scene. Funeral hymns took the place of jests as in solemn process sion they filed past the two heroes and mournfully bade them farewell forever, at the same time loading them with messages to departed friends.
 Good bye, Jim, eff you does happen to go to heaben an you sees my man dar, jes' tell him howdy fur me" "Fare- we'll, Dick, farewell; we gwine to miss you considerable when de possums git fat; an when we's eaten watermillio n we gwine wish we could drap leetle of de juice onto your burnin' tongue way down wonder in torment"
 The ordeal was too severe for tn e would be sons of Mars. They wept as loudly as anyone over their suppositi- tious death and punishment, and gazed longingly back the way they had come. Under the wailing admonitions militia " honor lost it's charm; sudden beau ty budded about their cast of hoe-han- dies and haloed their forsaken ploughs; and so, confessing the error of their re- cent choice of an occupation, they turned their backs on the tented field and went instead to the cotton patch.

Inc bataIdehiaa.

I'm end uf Chlan secms tp beat hlHI 'fbe policy Of Great Britain toanrd her has entered upon nov and probably dnal stles. lt is one that mag seem harsh lt also seems inevitable. and it as-urcdIy l. iustIfiable by the remurse- les- logic of imperial conquest Ne mny welcome II, also, on the ground that it means pence. All talk of con tlict between Circat Britain and Russia Is dismissed The Lion and the Bear will lie down side by side, and the Flowcry Kingdom will provide their couch. Neither of them wants Ia fight wherefore they say, each to Inc other. "lnstcad of fighting each other, let Us both spoliate this helpless China" And to that task they set themselves with all avidity.
 Why not? lt must come sooner or later. and it k better that it should come now. without blow, than here- after, with an carth-desolating war. That is not cynieism; it is common sense philosophy. Doubtless it would be very nice to preserve Chinese inde- pendeuce and to conduct that empire in its political integrity to highest civ iliZation But doubtless no such thing can be done; not, at any rate, under the present constitution of mankind. The dying nations must give way to the liy ing, and the only question is how the change can be effected with least trou- ble and disturbance.
 Now this is what has happened, and is happening, and is going to happen. China made certain business contracts with Great Britain. Russia tried to persuade or bully her to break them. Great Britain urged her not to yield to bullying promising to protect her against any harm that might be threat ened because of her keeping faith. But China finally decided to yield to Russia.
 At first Great Britain thought of re- so eminent against Russia. But why? Russia had done only what Great Britain herself might have done; she had simply eXerted influence upon Chi na and China had yielded, just as she had formerly yielded, more than once or twice, to Great Britain. So now Great Britain thinks better of it. She will not quarrel with Russia, but she will make China pay the penalty for breaking the contract. She will not re sist Russia's aggressions in China, but herself become aggressive, not against Russia, but against China. She will not try to prevent Russia from seizing the northern provinces of the empire, but will balance the account by herself seizing the central provinces. And then if France takes some of the southern provinces, and Japan and Germany gather in few fragments here and there, every body will be satisfied and everything will be gracefully conclud- ed Tribune.
