Wonderful Increase in Population and
 Wealth of the United States

The population of the United States, which was about 5000, GOO in Washing ton s time, is now 75,000,0O0. The larg- est city in the country then, Philadel- phia, had 69 900 inhabitants, now it has 100000 or 100000. New York, then with 55,000 population, has 3,500.- 900 today. Chicago. then a hunting ground for Indians, with no place on the map until over 8 fourth of cen tury after Washington's demise, has more population now than was be- tween the Potomac and the country $ southern line at that time The states of New York and Pennsylvania have each at present many more in- habitants than the entire United States had loo years ago, says Leslie s Weekly. In 1799 the area Of the eoun- try was 827,0o0 square miles, while it is how 3,7o0. 680 It's western bound ary; which was the Mississippi then, was long ago advanced to the Pacific, and has now been extended to the Philippines in Asiatie waters. It's southern boundary, which was latitude 31 degrees at that time, the northerly line of tue present state of Louisiana has, in the passing years taken in Florida, with that territory's former extension to the Mississippi, and reach ed do@n to the lower part of the Gulf of Mexico. It's northerly line, then the Great Lakes, has, in the case of Alaska, been stretched far north of the Arctic circle. In the year of Wash ington's death the receipts of the gov ernment were s7,0o0,o00 and it's expen= ditures s9,000,000. Tn the fiscal year 1899 the expenditures were s700, 900 000 and the receipts were slightly below that mark.

SABLE ISLAND PONIES.
Their Names Are in some instances
 Three Yards Long.

The story Of animal life on Sable island is strange. Roaming the sandy wastes are herds of wild ponies guard ed by patriarchal stallions, says Aims lees Magazine. These ponies resemble the horses on the sculptures of Nine Yeh, and approach the beholder seem ingly out of the framework of antiqul- v. They are stocky and remarkable for their long names, which in in- stances have been known to grow to the length of three yards. These po- nies are the remnant of a stock thought 10 have been left by some Portuguese ishermen-"Po Portingalls" the old rec ords quaintIy call them-who touched at the islands on their fishing expedi- ton at even an earlier date than tho Marquis de la Roche. At one time there were from 400 to 500 wild ponies on the island, but their number has been de- creased by exportation, the severity of the winters and, some people think. by the importation of improved, do- mesticated stallions which have made the stock less hardy and consequently more susceptible 10 death from expos are. There are now between eighty and 100 wild ponies and about thirty for domestic use. Mounted on ponies, ihe life savers gallop over the dunes and among the hilloeks on their long patrols, and the lifeboats are drawn to the scenes of shipwreck by teams Of five ponies, three at the shaft, and two leaders. Some of the ponies are sent to Halifax every year or two, and are sold at auction at an average price of from S15 to SIS.
