A Decrease, as at Albany, Since the
Last Census Not the kule.
The population Of the capital cities
Of two States, New York aud Nebraska,
Is less ut present. according to the CEN
sus reports. than ten years ago. Al
oany's present population, $4,000, shows
decline Of 772 compared with 1890,
and Lincoln's present population, 49,
900. shows decline Of 1885 This
fact has suggested that State capitals
throughout the United States may have
declined In population-such is not the
case. Thus Providence, the capital Of
Rhode Island, has gained % per cent in
population during the last ten years;
Hartford, Conn.,, has increased from
$4,000 to nearly $4,000, or 80 per cent;
Trenton, N. j., has increased from 81
600 to $4,000. gain of u per cent. and
Columbus, OHIO, increased from $4,000
to $4,000. a gain of AZ per cent.
In fact, considering that the capitals
Of American States have been fixed
chiefly with reference to their geo.
graphical situation and without refer
ence to their facilities for business com.
mvnication with other places 1t is cause
for surprise that American capitals
should show so large an increase this
year. Thus indianapolis. the capital Of
Indiana. almost exclusively dependent
upon railroad connections, has increas-
ed from 10000 to nearly 10000 popu-
lation In ten years, gain Of more than
50 per cent, and 6 per cent greater than
Cleveland's and 80 per cent greater
than Cincinnati's. Des Moines, the
capital Of Iowa, has increased in ten
years "a per cent in population. Har-
risburg, the capital of Pennsylvania,
has increased SO per cent. Denver, the
capital Of Colorado, shows a gain of
% per cent: st. Paul, Mimi, a gain of
% per cent and Salt Lake City, Utah.
Of 10 per cent. Richmond and Nash
Vile, the capitals Of Virginia and Ten
nessee. show considerable gain In
population, and Topeka. the capital Of
shows per cent increase,
though census figures indicate some
falling off in the population of that
State. Trenton. the capital Of New

When the long through train pulled
into the Union station with kissing
and roaring of steam and wheels and
the army of tired passengers hurriedly
debarked and fastened for the gates
one of the train porters whistled and
called to uniformed attendant who
was waiting to carry handbags to the

Down the steep steps of the car he
helped tiny boy of q years and turned
him over to the attendant while he

two years older. They were plainly

'I'll fix that with O'Brien," vOlun-
teered the attendant. Hell haul 'em
over to the Rock Island all right"
All this time the two children had
been standing patiently waiting to see
what would be done next with them,
gazing round wonderingly at the big
train shed, the hurrying crowds and
the painting engines. Taking hand OF
each, the attendant led them toward
the waitingrooms and they trotted
along as contidingly as though they had
known him all their brief lives.
You come right along with me-" said
the railroad man in soothing way,

With ever the sweetest Of songs for YOU,
And answered shall be the prayers we

The hills and the rills the song repeat
To the listening violets at your feet.
And the high stars sing on their heaven.

Told of Egypt,

Prof. Lansing, the noted historian and
Egyptologist, having spent twelve yesrs
as a student in Egypt. lectured in the
Congregational church April 9th under
the auspices of the Ladies Fortnightly.
The very inclement weather was TO be
regretted as it kept many from hearing
a most interesting and instructive lee
ture.
The lecturer spoke in very character
istic manner OF the Nile, the creator OF
Egypt, also the unprecedented learning
and skill in art. literature. science, and
architecture, developed in the people
there, to an audience which showed its
full appreciation by the closest atten'
ton. He had with him quite a collec'
ton of beetles, which were carved from
limestone. sandstone or porphyry, each
bearing an inscription on the under side
representing the king or reign when
used. The scarabaens sacer or sacred
beetle was used by the kings as the royal
seal, One of the beetles in Prof. Ian.
sings collection was said to be the iden-
tica! seal placed by Pharoah upon
Toseph's finger. This seems a little
strange that they should be willing to
part with so valuable a relic which
would surely be invaluable to them from
a historical standpoint, but perhaps it is
a fact nevertheless.
