The constitution must be adequate
to secure stable, orderly and free
government. When you have formu-

opinion, ought to exist between Cuba

Some published fragments of the
new census statistics are very depress-
Rnsh 10 E.,,ur. ing to the old
fashioned yet very
sensible people who
have been hoping that the movement
of villagers and country people to the
large cities had been checked, writes
John Habberton, in the Saturday
Evening Post. What is the meaning
of the continuous rush to the cities?
ers' sons and daughters wearied of
work that was never finished; they
had heard of city demands for labor
and of city wages, payable always in
cash and at stated dates. They had
also heard of city pleasures, some of
which were said to cost nothing, while
others were very cheap. But young
people do not constitute the whole
body of people who are crowding into
the cities, for mechanics and artisans
of all kinds are in the throng. for in
the villages and country districts EN-
ployment is irregular and pay uncer-
tain. The more aspiring of them hope
for the larger opportunities and rec
ognition that the country dares not
promise; they know, too, that such
of their children as incline to study
may become fairly, even highly, edu-
Gated in the city without special cost
to their parents. OF the ''seamy" side
of city life they know nothing, for
their acquaintances who went to
town" have not returned to tell of it;
few of them could return if they
would. The few who go back to the
old homesteads are the men who
have succeeded, and in any village
such a man in effect resembles a gold
laden miner from Cape Nome or the
Klondike; his example threatens to
depopulate the town. Nevertheless,
the rural districts are not going to
be depopulated, except when their soil
is very poor and their malaria over
rich. A countryward movement start
tu III some clIleS a rev years ago, ana
1t has been increasing in volume; it
may be almost invisible in some local
ities, for 100000 square miles is an
area so great that any city's overflow
might be lost in it. The men who are
trying scientific farming are all from
the cities and they have carried their
city ideas with them. As a rule, city
brain and city money are suggesting
and backing therural attempts to have
good roads, pure water, perfect drain
age, high farming, high-grade schools,
free libraries and many other amel-
iorations of old-time conditions. Yet
in one respect the city man in the
country is disappointment to all
classes of the dissatisfied, for when
they talk of going to the city he per.
sistently says Don't" and he sup.
ports his advice with a dismal array
of facts and figures.

A small boy from the slums had

brother William. To test his memory

Women and Secrets.

Said the Bright Girl to her chum,
apropos of women and secrets, "Al-
most any woman will hold sacred a
confidence reposed in her by man.
Wild horses could hardly drag it from
her, and while she may be positively
dying to tell it to her nearest and
dearest, and will have to screw her
determination to the sticking point to
keep from doing so, she will succeed
i'll her attempt. More, Pm afraid,
because she fears such breach of
confidence would injure her in his
estimation than because of any prin-
ciple involved.
"Any man can trust a woman who
likes him with even a momentous
secret, but 1 wouldn't advise another
woman to do so. I'm afraid that
sounds very uncomplimentary to my
sex, doesn't it? Women can keep
other women's secrets-if they want
to, but usually the condolences poured
into their ears are so unimportant, so
much a matter of what John said on
this and that occasion or where the
Smiths get the money to live on, that
while the listener promises eternal
silence she forgets after a while that
she has done so, and very innocently
repeats the tale. Then oftener than
not there is pretty row.
"a mans confidence is usually of
some Importance, and it's never be-
trayed; a woman's isn't, so it often is,
which proves that women can keep
secrets if they wish.
Which one of the gentle sex has
ever been found who couldn't be as
dumb as an oyster when it comes to
her own affairs ?''--Baltimor News.

The Dawson of 1899.

The Dawson of 1899 is no longer
the Dawson of 1898, and much less
that of the year previous. The thou
sands of bateaux that were formerly
lined up against the river front, in
rows six deep and more, and compris-
ing all manner of craft from the small
canoe to sliced sections of scows, have
mostly disappeared, and in their
place we now find the graceful and
ungraceful forms of varying types of
steamboat. 1t is no uncommon thing
nowadays to find five or more of these
larger craft tied up at one time to the
river front, and the amplitude and
majesty of the Mississippi boats gain
but little in a comparison with some
of these larger craft of the Yukon
river. Overhung signs call attention
to the flying queens of the river, the
Bonanza King, Canadian and Sibyl,
and thousands are offered upon the
result of the race to the White Horse
Rapids. So here, as in the olden days
of the Mississippi, the struggle for
supremacy has led to the opening oi
the throttle and to the scraping of the
fire box. Upward of a hundred ar
rivals from down the river were regis
tered at Dawson during the season of
open water in 1899. .-Appletons' Pop

The Sirdar'S Collars.

Waen the Sirdar visited us it will
be remembered he wore a stand up
all round collar, which is known by
various names, such as the dragon, /"
the ''Khartoum," ETC., but whatever
name it is known by to the different
makers the high stand up is the most
fashionable shape in collars today. and
is selling in much larger quantities
than any other style since the Sirdar
set the fashion. tbs certainly smart,
military looking collar, and for that
reason alone it is quite certain to re-
main very much in vogue for long
time to come on account of the popu-
far admiration which exists just now
