but fine weather will not prevent sea
sickness in the predisposed, for we
were not out of sight of the Goddess
of Liberty in New York Harbor be-
fore some of the passengers were re-
clining on steamer chairs and sucking
lemons.
After having crossed the Atlantic
six times, confess to a preference
for German manned boats. The
service on deck, in cabin and at the
table is the best have found. 1t is
prompt, intelligent and cheerful
without obsequiousness, and without
the perpetual suggestion of tips or
extra pay, although no doubt they
know that will come. But l prefer
these boats mainly on account of a
feeling of greater security, which one
always experiences in the presence of
perfect order and rigid discipline. In
the crews which man the great pas
senger ships of the German Liners
the German Empire has educated a
race of seamen that is second numer-
ically to that of England alone. and
perhaps not second in the skill,
courage and sea worthiness of the
individual sailor. 1t must be remem-
bered that these trained men of the
merchant marine belong TO the re-
serve force of the German navy and
can be called on at any moment to
man the war ships that the German
Kaiser is so industriously building.
1t should be remembered by our
countrymen and statesmen that with
in the last year the United States
has sent an army of seventy thousand
men over sea route of 1000 miles
and that England has traversed the
same distance with more than 100000
and $4,000 horses. We are no longer
the isolated people sea girt as by fire
we once were and we have not an
overwhelming navy like that of
England to protect us. Count Won
Moltke said he had drawn a dozen
successful plans for the invasion of
England, but had never been able to
plan a successful retreat after he had
landed an overwhelming German
army. Would he find the same diff
ficulty with the United States? He,
or rather his successor, certainly will
if our sea power keeps pace with our
wonderful material development and
our widening interests abroad.
We are now in sight of Cherbourg

cloves Young Dream"

Here is an exquisite little peice of
love poetry that is we'll written and
pretty in sentiment and we publish
it for the special benefit of the young
man whose thoughts so lightly turn
to love at this season of the year, with
the sweet fragrance of the June roses
so near at hand.
think of you in the sunshine,
dream night and day of you,
When all the world is silent,
And stars shine out in the blue;
And whether the hours be golden,
Or whether the day be drear,
Your love is beside me always
never forget you, dear
see your eyes in the stars love,
hear your voice in the sea,
The spell of your tender presence
Goes over the world with me.
And distance cannot divideus,
Though far away or near,
In my heart of heart you dwell, love
Inever forget you dear
The stars may forget their places,
The day may forget to break
The fight of the hours may alter,
The rose may forget to wake
But love that is true is forever,
Not day, nor month, nor year;
To the end of the world love you
never forget you, dear

The Marves We Have Wrought in One Hundred Years.
BY GEORGE B. WALDRON.
There were but $500, 900 People

There were but 5,3OO,OOO People
In America when this century
opened; France had five times as
many, Germany and even Austria,
had four times Americas popula-
ton; Italy had three times as
many, and so had Great Britain.
Even Spain had double our num-
ber of people, and little Portugal
was almost our rival in numbers.
We Have More People Now
than any European nation except
Russia, which alone leads us. We
have as many people as live in all
Great Britain and France COM
bined. We have one-half more
people than Germany. We have
practically, 75,000,0 900 people in
the United States, and 100000
more in our new possessions.
There were Only Five Large Cities
in America in 1900. Philadel-
phia, with $4,000, was the largest,
the seat of government, and the
centre of wealth and culture.
New York was next, with 60,000
Baltimore was third, with 26,500;
Boston fourth, with $4,000, and
Charleston, South Carolina, fifth,
with 10000 people.
Chicago was Unheard of in 1900.
The century was three years old
before the Government even built
fort where Chicago now stands,
and it was not until thirty years
later that a city was thought of
and Incorporated.
There was no Western City.
The mighty, modern cities of st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Den
yer and Kansas City were un-
trading-post at st. Louis. That
was ali. The Pacific Coast had
two or three missions under
Spanish control. All the rest of
the West was given over to the
Indians and wild beast.
In What are Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan and Wisconsin now
there lived 5000 people in 1900,
spread over that whole territory.
The Far West" was then Ken
lucky, Ohio and Western New
York. Beyond the Alleghenies
was practically a wilderness.
Now 53,000,000 people live within
the area that belonged to our ma
tion in 1900.
The United States is Larger Now
than all Europe in point of area.
1t has 5000, 900 square milestone
fourtheenth of the land surface
of the entire globe. In 1900 we
had just 825, 200 square miles.
We are the Richest Nation on the Globe
To day our wealth is estimated
at over 800, 200, ,000,0 900; in 1900 it
was So, 900, 100000. A man worth
100000 was then considered alb
normally rich; to day we have
several hundred men who are
worth $3,000,000 or more.
Uncle Sam Spends Each Year
on his government $55O,000, 900,
not including the extra outly oc-
casioned by our late war and the
new accession of territory. In
1900 he spent $12, 100000. In four
years he now spends more than
the entire wealth of the nation in
1900.
1t is Amazing how People Lived in 1900
Judged from the modern stand
points, Half of them dwelt in
log huts. Window glass was a
luxury even in the coast towns.
Some people used oil-paper;
others had simple openings in the
walls, which in winter were
closed, with plank split from logs.
The iron stove was positive
luxury; the furnace was unheard
of.Great fireplaces supplied heat,
but could not keep these huts
comfortable in winter.
There was no Kerosene nor Gas;
both were unheard of. The tai

and on frontiers even tallow was
scarce. There the torch of the
forest was used. Lamps then
were in the homes of the very
rich, fed with whale or vegetable
oils, but they were few, and the
flame hardly brighter than the
candles. For fifty years into the
century these light were used, for
it was not until 1858 that petro-
leum was discovered, and, even
in 1861, kerosene was very ex-
pensive costing sixty cents a
gallon.
There Was No Such Thing as a Match.
The flint and steel of the old
family musket was the means of
kindling fire; or live coal was
brought from a neighbors. some
times many miles distant. When
the friction match came, in 1917,
people were afraid of it and
would not have it in the house.
To-day we in America alone use
over $4,000, 900, 900 matches each
year.

and it was beautiful. China and
silyerware was lacking. Pewter
spoons and steel knives and forks
were choice heirlooms and highly
priced. Hand made wooden
trenchers, platters, bowls and
noggins comprised most of the
tableware in use hundred years
ago. On the frontiers meals were
often eaten off chips freshly cut
from the forest trees.
Garments were Spun by Hand,
every member of the family
doing part. There were a few
cotton spinning mills in opera
ton, but the spinning jenny. the
carding machine and the loom
with flying shuttle were almost
unknown in America. The CEN
tury was thirteen years old be-
fore the first power was set up
at Waltham, Massachusetts.
A Woman Could Spin From Dawn to Dark
from forty to sixty knots of yarn.
Now with modern machinery,
one operative can spin 100000
knots in the same time.
Carpets were a Luxury in 1900.
There were few woollen carpets
in Philadelphia and New York; a
few ingrains, and here and there
an imported Turkish rug. But
these were used for the state oc-
casions. The rag carpet was the
glory of the housewife. A few
Administer carpets were made in
Philadelphia, but the century
was well begun before ingrains
appeared. Up to 1850 there was
not power loom for carpet-mak-
ing in America.

later, Wneu Une SOuCn CarOllna
Railway line of one hundred and
thirty-six miles was finished, it
was the longest railroad in the
world. To-day in the United
States alone there are $4,000
miles of railroad, or more than
third of the mileage of the entire
world. In 1888 there were but
sixteen passenger locomotives in
the United States; to-day there
are710,000.
No Steamboat Existed in the World
hundred years ago. Sailing yes
sells crossed the Atlantic Ocean
and took from two to three
months for the voyage. Bullet
proof packet-boats, propelled by
sails, horses and poles, attended
to most of the commerce between
river towns. Passage from New
Orleans to st. Louis cost $125. 1t
was not until 1907 that Robert
Fulton built his "Clermont' and
the first steam propelled boat in
the world steamed up the Hudson
River.
The Street Car was Unknown in 1900.
The century was third over be-
fore the first horse car appeared
in New York City. The trolley
car came only twelve years ago.
Now we have 10000 miles of troll
ley roads in America, running
10000 cars.
The Newspaper had Hardly Started.
There were about one hundred
and fifty publications of all kinds
in the United States. About one
tenth of them were issued daily.
Not one of them sold more than
thousand copies day. To-day
we have $4,000 different period
icals of all kinds.
There were 9O3 Post Offices i'll 1900.
To-day we have 75,OOO-that is, in
America alone. 1t took a letter
sixteen days to go from Philadel-
phia to Lexington, Kentucky;
twenty-five days to Nashville
Tennessee. The cheapest letter
postage was eight cents, and to
send letter more than a hundred
miles cost shilling. Three mil
lion letters and papers were then
sent in a year; at the present
time the post Office handles about
30,000,000 pieces of mail in a single
day.
The Telegraph was Undreamed OF.
Not until 1874 did Morse send his
first telegram. When the battle
of Waterloo was fought in 1915.
unusual measures of haste were
adopted to get the news to Lon
don, where it was received three
days later. The guns of Dewey's
fleet were hardly quiet before the
result of the battle was known in
New York. To-day we have t.
100000 miles of telegraph wire in
America, and 70,000,000 messages
are sent over them each year.
There are 100000 miles of cable
on ocean beds, but none of this
was laid until the century was
siXty-siX years old.
This is How People Livee in 1900.
Every community was isolated
from every other community.
New York was forther removed
from Philadelphia than Africa is
now. 1t was New Years Day be-
fore Boston knew what had hap
pened in New York on Christmas
Day. There were practically no
conveniences; people of those
early days knew nothing what
ever of comforts. And yet by the
people of those days was laid the
basis of the country which we
enjoy to-day-a hundred years
later.
