THIN GROWING CTIIE IFS.

It is expected that the census which is soon to be taken will show that thir- ty-three per cent. or one-third, of the country's entire population is in the cities. Of the 4,0O0,00O inhabitants of the country in 1790 only 2,000 lived in places having more than 5000 inhabl- tants. In 1890, oe a population of 63,- GOO, GOO, IS, 000 GOO, or 29,S0 per cent, lived in cities having a population of 5000 or more. It is predicted that the cen- sus of 1900 will reveal the fact that Greater New York has about 3,5OO,0OO inhabitants, that Chicago has almost 2,000 900, that Philadelphia has gone long distance past the million mark, and that at least three places, St. Louis, Boston and Baltimore. have more than half million each, while several others have been making astonishing strides forward.
 Will the cities of this country continue to grow, and what will happen if they do. are interesting questions. By and by perhaps it will pay to stay on the old farm and help feed those in the cities who have money enough to buy food.

THE OLD IOWN PUMP.

Blessings on the old town pump, Not blessings on it for it's inaction in the thirst breeding heat of yesterday, but blessings on it for what 1t has done in the past, and for what it will do in the future when the new charter govern ment allows it to be freed from the chains that bind it. It was interesting and saddening yesterday to see the pop uace hasten toward the old town pump with expectation born of past pleasant experience and then turn away from it with faith shocked and hope deferred. May the cool and cheering waters soon flow from it, as of old. Yesterday it was but a device like that which tor mented Tantalus, when it should have been fountain of refreshment

It looks as if the disaguring and neck injuring high linen collar would not be worn much next summer.
 The sailor collar, in one modification or another, is used a great deal as dress trimming. Of course 1t is not so plenu- full nor so varied as is the bolero, but next to that ubiquitous finish it is an easy second in the list of popular trim mings For summer one expects to see it come out in white, but the newest wrinkle has 1t of the dress goods in light weight cloth gowns. An Illustrative model is shown here Il was pastel blue cloth, with white lawn yoke and banding of black lace insertion. Even the belt of this gown was off the dress goods, band of which was drawn through a silver buckle.
 Studs aren't the thing for shirt waists, and button and button-hole are out of date. The right thing is the link but ton. The waist is buttonhoed on each front and the link buttons connect the buttonholes. That does not leave the waist agape unless you wish 1t to. For the waist that fastens with box-pleat or band in front, the proper caper is to allow the outer button to bang the length of it's chain. Observers must course, the waist has fastenings be- tween these buttons to keep it closed,

SEEgTREE CZ | F,

It is reported that the Czar has ere ated a great and favorable impression among the masses of his subjects by the unpretentious part which he took in the religious services of Passion Week in Moscow. In the olden time it was the custom for the Czar to walk into the Kremlin on Palm Sunday leading an ass, in humble imitation of Chrtst's en- try into Jerusalem. The present auto crat did not revive this practice, but he and his wife entered the cathedral unannounced and unattended at 2SO o'clock in the morning, and joining the body of common worshippers, prayed with them for an hour and half. The Pan Slavonc Sviet, commenting upon this action, remarks: Not so very long ago a mighty Christian monarch trod the sacred ground of the Saviour's s pathway into Jerusalem, and, dressed in an extraordinary garb, with rid ing-switch in one hand and the other hand resting upon his sword (even before the Holy Sepulchre), he pro claimed aloud the power and glory of his people That pilgrimage brought direct material advantage. What contrast have we here! Not in the panoply of a warrior, not in a splendid costume invented for the occasion, nor in the midst of military attendants in a foreign Mohammedan country hav- ing possession of the holy places, but in his own city, the cradle of Russia, without the members of his suite, with his wife on his arm. and in ordinary everyday dress, the Czar worshipper mixes with his people and humbly bends the knee before the Lord
 It was certainly very decent in the Czar not to put on airs before the Lord.

TYE BOER PE4CE ENVOYS.

The three peace envoys from the South African republics to the United States reached New York yesterday, and were welcomed with both band music and chin-music. Their plan, as far as they have disclosed it, is inter- esting. One of them said: "We should like to have the government arbitrate with England, and undoubtedly we shall go to Washington and try to have an audience with President Mckinley. If we cannot induce the government to do what we like we shall try to arouse the people so that they will compel the government to recognize us in that way"
 That which has happened to the Boer armies since the envoys started for this country will not be helpful to their mission here, and it is probable that before they can do much agitating more will probably not get much encourage ment at Washington, where the theory that England's business must not be meddled with has prevailed, and they may not be able to stir up the people as much as they hope to. The outlook for the Boer cause is not hopeful any where, and it will not be surprising to raod opy dav of it's cOnlplete collapse. It is already predicted that failure of the peace envoys here will be followed by overtures from Pretoria for peace upon practically any terms.
