The old obstacles that used to prevent
the marriage of loving couples are out Of
date The blood and thunder william is a
myth nowadays The cruel father is only
a tradition. Distance, absence and ship
wreck in these days of cheap, safe and
swift transportation do not count. The
new obstacle is common sense one II
is ill-health on one side or the other, and
sometimes on both.
Men nowadays hesitate to marry a won-
an, no matter how beautiful, no matter how
attractive. or interesting, or witty, if she is
a sufferer from ill-health. All men worth
having desire happy healthy children.

U. S. S. Chicago, N. Y. Navy
Yard, January 26, 1899.

Yard, January 26, 1899.
r. E. Lawhon, Jr., writes to his
father as follows:
After skirmishing around among
various navy yards and receiving
ships for many months, I am
again afloat on the cruiser Chica-
go. She was one of our first mod
ern ships built. and was for a
number OF years the flag ship of
the famous white squadron. She
was then sent to the European
station where she was Admiral
Erben's flag ship a long while. In
1894 she came home and was
turned into the New York Navy
Yard where she was completely
overhauled. Old engines taken
out and new, up-to-date engines
substituted; her sails taken off
in their place fighting tops put on !;
old guns taken off and new ones
of the most modern pattern sub
stituted; SO that she is now full
of fighting machines from an 8
inch gun all the way down to a
one FOUNDER, and including the
terrible rapid firing guns and the
Colts automatic rifles.
Her speed is 20 knots. an hour;
she 342 feet long; has coal capaci-
ty of 800 tons; carries a crew of
800 men and officers. She has
been specially fitted for a flag
ship, having splendid quarters for
the Admiral and staff. Taken
altogether, she is practically a
new ship, fully up-to-date, and
one of the finest of her class.
We put her in commission a
few weeks since, with Capt. P. H.
Cooper as commander, and Lieut..
Commander G. E. Callahan ex-
ecutive officer, who are. both not
only splendid officers, but also
thoroughbred gentlemen.
1t is understood that we go to
Havana about February list, and
after few months cruise about
Cuba, may return and be fitted
to go to the European station as
flagship, with the probability of
having Schley as our Admiral.
We would indeed then have Off
GERS of which any crew should feel
proud. In my over six years of
service | think l like this ship
better than any I have sailed on,
and may re-enlist when my time
is out, It'll April next.

Snap Shots with a Graphophone.

The Graphophone is to the ear what
the Photographic camera is to the eve,
and more, for the Graphophone catches
instantly ana preserves every tint and
shade OF sound. A most interesting
use OF a Graphophone is to make re-
cords of your friends voices, to be pre-
served for future use. You can catch
the story of your jolly friend just as he
told it, or the favorite song of some
loved one just as she sang it, and have
1t reproduced perfectly at any time and
ms often as you please. Besides, the
Graphophone affords wonderful enter
tainment in the way of reproducing
the music of bands. orehestras, or vocal
or instrumental soloists. No invest

For n wor,a csu.u,.

At a recent convention Of statis-
ticians at Berne, Switzerland, the
Baltimore Sun notes, 1t was resolved
to try to influence the nations to take
universal census in 1900. The worlds
population is at present matter of
conjecture, estimates varying from
l,5o0, 600, COO to 1,700, 600. 600. China
is credited with nearly one-fourth Of
this total, but it's population is really
unknown. India is known TO have a
population Of about 800, 600. 600, but
for most Of Asia, Africa and South
America careful census is impracti-
cable. In many countries the census
taker is viewed with suspicion, as the
bringer of bad luck, or as the fore
runner of the taxgatherer. The Bible
relates what obstacles were encountered
by King David in his efforts to obtain
an accurate census of his subjects.
Like obstacles are presented in our
own day, so that complete enumcra-
tion is in fact unattainable.
The British empire, since its recent
additions in Africa, has a population
Of some $50, 0Go. 900 and stands first in
numbers, as well as area and wealth.
China comes next as regards numbers.
with Russia in third place. Taking
the worlds population to be nearly a
billion and half, Meyer reclons the
Christians at 448, coo, 600 and the nom
Christiana at 001 OO0 nn0
The Protestant Christians he puts at
137. 000,000 the Roman Catholics at
PIG, 600, 600; the Greek, Armenian and
Abyssinian Churches at 90. coo. 600. OF
the non Christians 672, 900, GOO are
Buddhists and Brahmins, 200, 600, 900
are Mohammedans, 100000 are Jews
and l25, 000,000 are of other creeds.
The twelfth census Of the United
States, now near at hand, is to be
more limited in scope than the
eleventh. Many topics are to be wisely
omitted, with the result perhaps OF its
being finished in reasonable time.
There will be fewer "srecial'' inyesti-
cations and less money wasted in in
1e'tAS'' tii"p "io "a ho pioAt " any ppuy
but the individuals who get the jobs.
Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands will
have their population enumerated, but
the course to be taken with Porto
Ricans and our recalcitrant Filipinos
seems to be still undecided. There is
to be an increase in the number of
supervisors Of the census operations.
In 1880 there were 175; in 1900 there
are to be 300. And there are to be 165
subdivisions, as rule. in each super
visor's district. A reappointment of
representatives follows the ascertain
ment Of the population at each decade.
