scrub and sweep; how to keep even a
tenement home neat and cheerful: how
to buy food and clothing economically:
how to mend; how to sew, and how to

London Oct. 2l.--One of the most no.
table speeches of last week was delivered
by Sir Robert Clifton, the noted statistician
and former president Of the Statistical So
ciety, before the Manchester Sta tistica
society, upon the population of the
world. He declared the growth of the
United States compelled her recognition
as the most powerful state in the world
so far as population and resources were
concerned. He pointed out that the
United States recently had greater popu-
lation than any European stale, for Great
Britain's strength might be considered di-
minished rather than increased by the
acquisition of large territories, while the
units of the Russian population were so
inferior that the pre-eminence of the Unit
ed States is not questioned. According to
Sir Robert there are now only four great
world powers the United States, Great
Britain, Russia and German, with France
doubtful fifth. He expressed the belief
that the "yellow peril would vanish,
as the yellow races were being outnum-
bered by the Europeans, which in another
century would number 2000OOO,OOO.
