statistics of British Ernlgrants.

Statistics just issued by the Board of Trade show that during 1899 total of 241, ,4a5 emigraAts left Great Britain. as compared with 205, III in the previ- ous year. The greater proportion of this increased outflow of 36,000 con- sisted of foreigners. However; these were "birds of passage" numbering e0,000, compared with 60,000 in 1898. The number of British emigrants was over 6,000 in excess of that in 1S9S- and it is remarkable that this was wholly due to an increased exodus from Ireland, 5000 more persons of Irish birth leaving last year, prac- tieally all going to the United States. while the English emigrants were 5000 fewer. Of the total number of British emigrants, viz, 146,777, no fewer thah 92,532 were bound for the great fie- public, an increase of 22,000 as com
 pared with 1898, and 16.451 for British North America, a decrease Of 1,20G Australia received 11,478, against I0,- 6s3, while the outlook of war so seri- ously checked emigration to South Africa that the number declined from ls.7Es in 1898 to 14.b60 las. rssr.

Speed of ocean Liners.

Tn an article in Cassier's Magazine on steam speeds at sea, Mir. Oldham says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic had never been crossed by a screw steamer at a greater rate thaa fifteen miles an hour, that of the fastest liner. Scotia. Today steamers have reached the speed of twenty-five miles an hour, And, although the power required to prepel a steamer varies wllh the cube of the speed, yet, before third of the next century expires, another increase of at least 50 per cent in ocean speed may be safely predicted. The con- struction of steamer of 65,000 tons will probably not trouble the con- structors of the future nearly as much as did the building of the Great East ern those of the past.

Kitchener in ScFouY.

pr. Butler, the present master oI Trinity college, Cambridge, may be re- garded as the man who exercised ths most influence on Lord Kitchener's career. It was found, upon the death of his father. that the family resources were so sJraitened that it would be difficult to keep the future hero of 0m- durman at Harrow school. Dr. But Ter. who was then the head master of the school. wanted to know why such clever lad was leaving. He was frankly told. and replied: "The boy will reflect honor on the school; he must stay here. There will be no charge. will only request that he may not be told of this arrangement at present, as 1t might break his high spirit "-New York Press.

sulclpe AND CIVILIZATION.
The More Progress the More Taers Is
 of Self Destruction.


 of Self-Destruction.
 Felix Adler, the New York ethical clergyman, says of suicides: Suicides gre CD the increase in the present cen tury. They have tripled in number in the last one hundred years. It is the disease of civilization, increasing ip numbers with the progress of civiliza- eion. Germany, where civilization has reached the highest point on earth, is the blackest spot in this respect. II Is the same story as you proceed from the less to the more liberal creed. Where the population Of community is made up purely of the Russian church there are 40 suicides to the mil. lion; where the people are purely of She Catholic faith there are 58 to the million; in Protestant communities there are 190 to the million. External conditions appear to have much to do with the act. There are more suicides sn wet weather than in dry, more by night than by day, more on moonlight nights than on dark nights, and there are three times more men to die by their own acts than women. can- not sit in Judgment on those who have done this deed; cannot enter into their inner life. But 1 warn all who think of freeing themselves from this life that they have no right to do it. The duty of progress eompels Us to remain-we must stay. We are here to solve the problems of life, not to eyads them. We are here to fulfill our task, not to leave it unfinished. We must make the soul victorious over ths senses, aud we do that not by eYading pain but by conqperlng it.

Methodist preachers and iaymen who attended the recent conference in Washington have gore home, but have left behind them stories which will not appear in the regular report of the proceedings. Perhaps no man at the conference yielded more power and at the samettme enlivened the proceed ings more by his bright sayings than Bishop W. A. Caadler.

The truth 10. the crowds at the Horse

which fell were trampled to death.
When the herd had passed crept

was so disastrous as to be discouraging.
