tails are more modest, though all of
snem can boast of at least one news
paper to every 100000 inhabitants.
One of the most remarkable papers
in Europe-indeed, in the worlds.
the Paris Petit Journal, about which
some striking figures were recently
published. 1t is half-penny, four
page paper, undoubtedly the most pop
ular in France, and has circulation
of over 100000 copies daily. Its net
profits are over $75O,OOO yearly. 1t is
somewhat difficult to see to what this
truly colossal sale is due, but probably
it is the light and popular" style of
the paper, and its abstention from the
dry political polemics which distin-
guish most of its rivals. 1t is rab-
idly anti-English journal, and has
caused some amusement lately by the
airing of pet schemes for the annihila-
ton of "Ferfide Albion" It's staid
and sober contemporary, the Temps,
makes an annual net profit of about
$50 900, which would seem to show
that steadiness and sobriety in a Pa
risian newspaper are not so profitable
as Jew-baiting, anti-Dreyfusism and
Anglophobia.
Perhaps the most cosmopolitan city
| in the matter of newspapers is Con-
stantinople. Of its Is journals only
three are published in the Turkish
| language, while three are printed in
French, three in Greek, two in Ar
menian, one in Persian, one in Italian
and two in French and English.
In the strongly Roman Catholic
countries italy, Spain and Portugal)
the newspapers present one striking
popularity, which gives them a most
curious appearance-that is the notices
inserted by the relatives of deceased
persons, which are printed with deep
black border and usually headed by
black cross. One may often see a
whole page covered with these de-
pressing advertisements The notices
themselves are very curious, for, after,
announcing the decease of the depart
ed one, they go on to that ''the wife.

beg his friends TO attend the funeral
ceremony" etc. Similar notices are
often inserted on the anniversary of
the death, and the same long list of
relatives request the prayers of the
deceased's friends for the repose of
his soul.-London Mail.

works out an average of one newspa-

Steven O'Meara, the brilliant editor
Of the Boston Journal, believes that
there is too much worship Of precedent
and too much depreciation of the pres

earlier and better days of the repub-
Hc." In a speech he questions the bet
ter days of "the Fathers To estab-

erous citations from history. Wash
ington heads his list of the sayings of
illustrious men with his declaration
that speculation, peculation, and an
Unsuitable thirst for riches seem to
have got the better of every other con-
sideration." Patrick Henry had little
hope that "a people possessing so small
a share Of virtue and public spirit
would accomplish much. Alexander
Hamilton characterized the constitu-
ton as "a frail and worthless fabric. -

the existing corruption in politics, but

is more corruption of a certain kind

the world of politics is growing better.

Where Isinglass Comes From.

The best isinglass comes from Rus

To Americans the Lord Chief Justice
Of England is usually but name. The
late Baron Russell of Killowen, how
ever, was almost as we'll known and
quite as sincerely respected In the Uni
ted States as in Great Britain. He had
visited this country twice, the last time
to deliver a most thoughtful and sug
gestive address on international law.
Even before his elevation to the highest
judicial office in Great Britain, he had
won universal recognition by the mas
terly skill with which he had exposed
the Piggott forgeries in the London
Times, and yindicated Parnell, the
Irish home rule leader. He represented
Great Britain In the Boring Sea arbitra-
ton, was a member of the Venezuela

Herschen was chosen to succeed him
as President Of the Joint High Commits

touch with American statesmen and
lawyers, whose confidence he won and
kept by his courtesy, -mindedness
and profound legal knowledge. His
death was loss to international com

than doubtful whether even the

Rice and Population

In deciding whether China's ponula.
ton is dense or sparse it ought to be
remembered that the country produces
rice. Countries which produce rico
yield at least two crops a year. Coun-
tries which produce corn, on the other
hand, only yield one crop a year
Therefore, approximately to its extent.
a country which produces rice ought
to support at least twice as large .
population as country which pro-
duces corn.

But one day he heard that the brute

in a 'machan'-a platform built in a
tree-and sent heaters in. Immediately
out walked huge tiger. Two DUN
dunn bullets from the sportsman's rife
struck it. Out rushed tigress on the
other side Of the ravine. There was
just time to hit her once before, with
a roar, third broke, and again Mr..
Walkers rife spoke. All the animals
had disappeared into the ravine. Mr..
Walker advanced cautiously to the
edge. There, below him, lay the three
striped giants, all stone dead.
Hardly able to believe his eyes-for
tigers take, as a rule, more than one
bullet apiece to kill-he waited a few
minutes, and then descended into the
rav1ne. When he had got fairly to the
bottom his eye caught a fallen tree.
