HOW WE HAVE GROWN.
ssesiderfnI Increase in Population and
 Wealth of the United states

svsaderfnl Increase in Population and
 Wealth or the United statas
 The population of tie United States, which was about 5,009,000 in Washing tons time, is now 75. .o00, GOO. The larg- est city in the country then, Philadel- phia, had e9,o00 inhabitants, now it has 1.2o0Qa0 or 1, 400 .o0o. New York, then with 55 600 population, has 3,500.- 000 today. Chicago then hunting ground for Indians, with no place on the map until cver fourth of a cen tury after Washington's demise. has more population now than was be- tween the Potomac and the country s southern line at that time. The states of New York and Pennsylvania have each at present many more in- habitants than the entire United States had loo years ago, says Leslie's Weekly. In 1799 the area of the eoun- try was 827000 square miles, while it is now 9.7e0,0n0. It's western bound ary, which was the Mississippi then, was long ago advanced to the Pacific, and has now been extended to the Philippines in Asiatic waters. It's southern boundary, which was latitude 3i degrees at that time, the northerly line of tue present state of Louisiana, has, in the passing years taken in Florida, with that territory's former extension to the Mississippi, and reach ed down to the lower part of the Gulf of Mexico. It's nertherly line, then the Great Lakes, has. in the case of Alaska, been stretched far north of the Arctic circle. In the year of Wash ington's death the receipts of the gov ernment were s7,000,0e0 and it's expen- ditures $9,000,00O. In the fiscal year 1899 the expenditures were $700,000, 900 and the receipts were slightly below that mark. The wealth of the coun- try, which was less than s1 1000, 900, 900 then, or much below that of the single city of New York, is s90 1000 ,000, 900 at the present time.

A Remarkable Discovery.

remarkable discovery has been made by Dr. Peters, who has recently been excavating at Nippur, an ancient city of Baby1onia. While the workmen were clearing away the debris from the walls of the temple Bel they dis. covered in hole which had been clos,
 ed up with sundried bricks a large goose egg on mat of reeds. Why the egg was placed there is a mystery. as it has no connection with any known Babylonian custom. Dr. Pet CTS thinks that it may be looked upon as a joke on the part of one or more of the ancient workmen, the object of which will probably never be known. The temple was built at very re- mote time, probably in the reign of Akus-gal (B. c 2200), or even earlier. so that the egg is over 4,000 years old

by visiJo- 5. Alternating were pyramids of
oranges, iced cakes, and sticks OF candy
and beside many plants stood a bottle OF
beer.
The age OF the inmates. together with
their feebleness, EeCessitates for them a

but Intellectual attempts at the cOrks. and
were rescued from their perpleXities by
the deft fingers Of the picturesque little
white-capped sisters, who poured the beer
as they did everything else that was use

was today reported at Columbia Hospital
to be improved The physicians say that

her recovery is confidently expected. In

Hengesbach caused by her stab wounds
and the shock incident to them. the physi-

of the patient That is a source Of cen
siderable uneasiness to them. and retards
the progress Of the woman's recovery.

FOOD FOR PORTO RICANS.
General Davis Cables the War De-

General Davis. Military Governor of Porto
Rico cabled the War Department as fol-
lows.
"Wiu need SEQ tons Of relief supplies
weekly until further notice. In proportion
four-sevenths rice. twO-sevenths beans
one-fourteenth each bacon and goldfish"
As soon as the despatch was received by
Acting Secretary Of War Meiklejohn, he
sent for General Weston. Commissary Cen
eral Of Substance and gave orders that
the supplies be gotten away at the earliest
possible moment and sent by the first
transport sailing from New York. The

tcrmaster's Department has six or eight
large transports in service between New

be ,.iil be experienced in arranging their
dates for sailing so that the supplies can
be sent weekly.
General Weston says that he has ar
rangcments made TO furnish all the sup
plies needed and that he can place the
500 tons asked for each week on the
wharves at New York ready for shipment
II has been found that rice, beans, bacon,
and Goldfish are the supplies most needed
by the Porto Ricans. and il is believed
that the SEQ tons a week will greatly re-

that money be appropriated 10 give the
