FOURTH IN POPULATION
riis Is the Standing of the Edited
 States Among the Nations


 There were 62, 622 ,25o inhabitants in the United States ten years ago, ac- sording to the last census. Secretary Cages actuary of the treasury, who is a close gHesser in matters of popula tion, computes the present population between Maine and California, Alaska. and Key West, at 76,148,000. To this must be added the peoples brought un- der the stars and stripes by the war with Spain and by the annexation of Hawaii, to say nothing of Cuba, Porto Rico, and Guam. If the Filipinos can oe induced tc stand still long enough to be counted they may possibly yiele 3 million or two more, but unless the actuary has made a mistake in addi- tion there will yet remain wide gap between the actual and the magnificent round number. For a decade or two longer, therefore, the United States must be content to remain in the fourth place in point of population among the nations of the earth. China despite the encroaehments upon her territory, still holds the lead, with 402,680,000 men, women, and chil- dren within her borders; the British empire comes next. with 331, ,03T, STA subjects, including the dusky fanatics of the Soudan; and the Russian em, pire is third. 129 9,211,1 ,113 persons owins allegiance to the czar. No other ns ton, however, can show such a raJ4d increase as that of the United States Geol ge Washington was president of & nation numbering fewer than 3,000,- 900 individuals It took 20 years for Yhe population to double. In 1910 1t was 7,239,881, in 1920 it had reached only 9,633,822, and 1O years later the total 12,866,02O. From this time on it advanced by leaps and bounds. In 1S40 it was 17,009 ,453, in 1850 it was 23.191 ,876, in 1860 it had reached 31,- 443,321. and 30 years ago the census showed a population of 3S,55S.371. It Aid not pass the 50000,0 mark until 1880, when it was 50,155. 783, and the last enumeration, 1890, gave total Of s2.622. 250.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Speed of ocean Liners.

Tn an article ill Cassier's Magazine on steam speeds at sea, MT. Oldham says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic had never been crossed by a screw steamer at 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 propel steamer varies W4lh the cube of the speed, yet, before a third of the next century expires, another increase of at least 30 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.

Georgia Lawyers Handed Over Their
 Guns With Singular Unanimitv.


 Georgia has q stringent law forbid ding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying fine of $50 or being impris- oned for thirty days. Shortly after the passage of this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in a little town. when suddenly he suspended the trial of case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors of the courthouse. "Gentlemen," said the judge when the doors were closed, "I have just Eeen pistol on man in this room, and cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to let such violation of this law pass unnoticed. I ought perhaps to go be- fore the grand jury and indict him, but if that man will walk up to this stand and lay his pistol and a fine of $1 down here will let him off this time" The judge paused, and law yer sitting just before him got up. slipped his hand into q hin pocket. drew out a neat ivory asa lee s,x- shooter. and laid it with :; 2lar down upon the stand. This is all right" said the judge, "but you a"e not the man saw with the pistol, Upon this another lawyer arose and laid down Colts revolver and dollar bill be- fore the judge, who repeated his for mer observation. The process went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand, together with nineteen dollars by their side. The judge laughed as he con- plimented the nineteen delinquents upon being men of business, but add- ed that the man whom he had seen with the pistol had not come up, and, glancing at the far side of the court. he continued: "I will give him one minute to accept my proposition, aud If he fails I will hand him over to the sheriff" Immediately two men from the back of the court rose and bega1 to move toward the judges stand. Once they stopped to look at each other, and then, coming slowly for ward laid down their pistols and their dollars. As they turned their backs the judge said: "This man with the black whiskers is the one that originally saw."-~New York Press.

 Elk meat brings $1 per pound in tho Klondike mining camps, and there are three or four deerslayers in that ter ritory who are cleaning up the tidy sum of $1000 month above theis living expo ses. M l. A. Kicker os Denver told me a good story of one of these hunters, who ran across a couple of bear, promptly added them to his game bag and got them into the nearest settlement, where. greatly to his disgust, he found that Bruin meat.

This deer hunting seems a pret- sy good proposition for some O. our young men who would like tc combine chance at big game and an oppor- tunity to make a small fortune, and it would be apt to prove a more certain bonanza that stalking out a claim that might, on working, turn out anything but profitable.
