Wonderful Increase in Population and

 The population of the United States, which was about 5.000,000 in Washing tons time. is now 75,000,000. The larg. est city in the country then, Philadel phia, had 69000 inhabitants, now il has 15200, 000 CT 1, 400, GOO New York, then with 55,000 population, has 3,50o- p09 today. Chicago then hunting ground for Indians, with no place on the map until over a 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 thai time. The states of New York and Pennsylvania have each at present many more in- aabitants than the entire United States had 100 years ago, says Leslie's Weekly. In 1799 the area of the eoun- 81y was 827000 square miles, while if IS now 3.7e0,000.

Georgia Lawyers Handed Over Their
 Guns With Singular UnaDifnifv.


 Guns With Singular Unapifn.Ev.
 Georgia has a stringent law forbid ding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying fine of $50 or being imprls- 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 a case by ordering the sherlH to lock the doors of the courthouse "Gentlemen," said the judge when the doors were closed, q have just seen pistol on a man in this room, and cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to let such a violation of this law pasa 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 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 a hip pocket. drew out neat ivory-na1filed six shooter. and laid it with dollar down upon the stand. This is all right, said the judge, "but you are not the man ] saw with the pistol" Upon this another lawyer arose and laid down a Colts revolver and a 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 com plimented the nineteen deIinquents upon being men of business, but add" ed that the man whom he had seen with the pistol had not come up, ands gIancing at the far side of the court, he continued: q will give him one minute to accept my proposition. and if he fails I will hand him over to t!.e sheriff ,, Immediately two men from the back of the court rose and began to move toward the judges stand. Once they stopped to look at e&ch other, and then, coming slowly for ward laid down their pistols and their dollars.

SILLY VOWS WELL KEPT.
Axtist Whose Masterpiece Was Due ts
 an Onrh He Took.

all 0Ahh AAS AoNEAs
 The French artist. Gericauld, was determined to allow no distraction to Interfere with the painting of his great picture, 4The Wreck of the MedusG." He had his head shaved and vowed that he would never allow his hair to grow unttl his work was done. This VOW he religious1y Kept, in spite of strong temptation to break it, and the reward of his heroism was the most perfect painting of his life. A story is told of young man in l. gland, a great chess enthusiast who was sa annoyed at his failure to solve an ap- parently simple problem that he vowed he would neither sleep nor eat until Ghe solution was found. He shut him. self up in a disused room and was found four days later by his relatives terribly emaciateG and out of his mind. He spent a year in the lunatic asylum as the result of his rash VOW; and the problem remains unsolved. It was for very curious reason that an old lady, who died few years ago, condemned herself to more than thirty years confinement to her house She had married a WidoWer, as miserfg as he was nnromantic. and he insisted that his second wife should wear tho clothes left behind her by his first wife. The wife was as mutinous as the husband was reso1ute, and she de. termined that until she could have her own clothes she would never leave thu heuse-a VOW she kept until her death. Woman appears to be at the root of many eccentric VOWS, for it was ha- tired of the sex that once impelled a weIl-known lawyer to swear that he would never speak to q woman again as long as he lived. Nothing would IndGce him to see a lady client, and he would never conduct a case in which woman appeared ~s a witness. He never employed a female servant, and deliberately @eHts all his lady aequain- tances. The inevitable result was that the 1aen deserted him, his practice dwindlea and he died, less than a year ago, alone in squaltd room.-Pitts- burg Dispatch.

Lew Wallace, the author oi Ben Hur. and former United States minister of Turkey, said of the sul- tan; T think I am better acquainted with the sultan of Turkey than pos sibly any other American, and know that he is an honest man and I never knew him to break a promise. Not Christian church is burned or a mis- son destroyed but the sultan is the first man to subscribe to rebuilding. 1 know this to be so. Abdul Hamid is a distinguished scholar and a diplomat; if it were not so the Ottoman empire would have been wiped out long ago. for the hand of every ruler in Europe is against him.

The Higheatl lTower.

The highest tower n the world is presently to be built as one of the great attractions Of Buffalo during the Pan American exposition, which is so be held in that city in 1901. It is to be l,152 feet high. and 400 feet square at the base, and will be much more or aamentaf building than the Eiffel tower. It will be served by no fewer than 33 electric elevators, sixteen of which will run only to the first landing, 225 feet above the level of the ground. The whole journey from the bottom to the top will n,cessitate four changes of elevators, and will take about six minutes, while the elevators will have carrying capacity of 10, GOO an hour. The estimated cost of this tower, which will be built of steel. is SS00,o00. or about twice as much as that of the Eitfel tower.

SLEEP AS A CURE FOR HUNGER
Starving Peasants of Russia Are Com.
pelled to Try the Remedy.


 About the beginning of this century a distinguished French philanthropist, A Joux, advised poor people to sleep as much as possible during the winter months. as only thus would they be able to live with any degree Of eom- fort. This strange theory is now being tested by many persons in Russia, and, according to a report which has been Issued, their almost complete absti. uence from food has produced no harmful result, and eveu has from their standpoint proved highly benefi- ria1. These people live at Pskow. a district south of St. Petersburg, and the reason why they have adopted the practice of sleeping during the winter months is because for the last few years their crops have been insufficient to provide them with the necessary of the district saw that starvation means of sustenance. When the elders of the district saw that starvation stared the people in the face they ad- vised them to make their remaining stock of food last as long as possible, and to go to sleep during the winter. This suggestion was adopted. The members of each family stretch them selves on cots around the large stove and slumber day and night. Once in the twenty-four hours they get up and refresh themselves with a morsel of hard bread baked last autumn and a drink of water, after which they lie down again and snore calmly. Appar. ently some of the poorest inhabitants of Pskow have been in the habit of hf- bernating for some years, but the prac. tiee did not become general until re- gently, and 1t has now only attracted the attention of philanthropists and Of physicians. Medical men in St. Peters burg have decided to investigate the matter closely, as they are especially anxious to obtain answers to two ques- tions: First, does the temperature of persons who remain torpid and who sleep for whole months in this fashion undergo any change? And. second, in what other manner, if any, does this mode of living affect persons physical. lY and mentally ?-New York Herald.

HUNTING FOR pEARLs.
Two stars In This rerilous Line sf
 Work.

Work.
 Two famous pearl divers recently visited San Francisco to buy a large quantity of air pumps, diving suits and like paraphernalia of the sea. Opu and Taipu are their names, and they are generally regarded as stars in their perilous line of work. They were born on one of the islands of the Dan- gerous archipelago group. They speak good English, however, and both are thoroughly familiar with the ciyiliza. ton of West Australia. where they have spant most of their lives as pearl hunters. says the New York Telegraph. Taipu is the principal native pearl merchant of the many hundreds who have embarked in the trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first dabbled in that form of commerce. He owns pearling dredger and a ship; both are engaged in the trade in south western waters, His ship, however, js g mere hulk that travels less than ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shells for income, since to stake earnings on the pearls alone would be to invite loss. Valuable pearls are not frequent enough to make it pay, but the com mercial mo5ber-of-pearl is made from he shells that they deal in. When t comes to hunting for the real pearl there is not any kind of a scoop UT 1redger than can take the place of mems eyes; diving and treading the deep is the only way to find valuable pearls. As 9 rule, these are some dis tance apart, scattered over the rocky bed of the ocean. Sometimes a man will pick up a fortuna sn few weeka and sometimes he will hardly make expenses in a season. Pearling is still profitable. for the crude shells are sold 1t from $500 to $75o 8 ton, and there !s always Q chance that diver may make enough in o1e day to quit for life. @We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet" said Opu, for the pressure is too great. Even at thesa deBtbs men cannot remain down over i've or ten minutes, and the average life Of the deep diver is short

KoREA's cLU8ED DOORS
Afford No Field for American Enter

lTAhGt
 In pursuance Of the policy new pur. Eued by the consular service of aseer. taining the state of foreign fields as opportunities for American labor, cap tta1 and enterprise, Horace w. Allen consul general to Seoul, Korea, writes for the consular reports under date of January 2S that Korea now employs nc foreign military officers as advisers or instructors in it's army, and is not likely to do so, ewing to an agreement made with Russia when large staff of Russian officers were allowed to leave. By this agreement Korea an nounced her ability and intention to dispense with further assistance of that kind. The many requests from young men who have recently left the service or the United States asking for posi- tlens in connection with the Korean army are futile. There is no demand for thek services in Korea. There ia he demand for foreign advisers to the Korean government. Although two Americans who held such positions have recently died, their places lave been filled, and there is no further de- mand for assistance of tbat kind. The newspaper report that one of these advisers had been receiving a salary of $l00.000 gold per annum is entirely misleading; such positions pay from s150 to $250 per month. There is no demand for employees on the railroads in Korea. Japanese control and op- crate the steam railroad, and Koreans and Americans are employed on the electric railroads.

The Hiring of Yachts.

While this is the greatest American
yachting centre" said yacht agency man,
and you can charter here any sort OF
yacht that floats, sail or steam. yet even
here you couldn't run in and hire a steam
yacht quite as you would a cab. There
are plenty Of steam yachts to be hired,
for longer or shorter periods, but the hir-
ing of them is in most cases a matter for
previous arrangement. There are no yachts
that are exactly, as you might say. on liv-
cry. Among the many vessels on the
agencies books there are some that can
be chartered for day. and some agencies
own steam yacht which they let in that
manner. And it might be that you could
drop in where they kept boat for such
use. and find ii not in use and not engaged,
and get it right then; but nobody keeps
a slip full OF steam yachts with steam up.

cabs hooked up. waiting on the floor in

In the course of the season great
many people charter steam yachts. Who
charters them? Why. when the season
comes around men get the salt water fe-
yer; they want to get out on it, and go
SONS where; and the greater number OF
charters for the longer periods are to such
charterers. Sometimes We charter a boat

yacht owners from the great lakes, men
owning there, very likely, fine vessels
themselves. but wanting to take little
cruise on salt water. There are people
that charter boats for the longer periods,
ranging, say, from a week up to the whole
season.
Then there are people who hire boat
for a day, maybe to take guests. visitors
from some other part of the country, per-
haps from the interior. for a days cruise
about in New York waters, to show them
the city and its surroundings from that
point Of view. Or it may be that some
body invites friends here to a day on the

steam yacht to be chartered for a day to
give an invalid breath OF fresh air.
People who charter boat for consid
cradle time want to see her first; people
chartering boat for day may not see
her at all until they go aboard of her. But
they know what she is from our descrlp-
ton of her. and from photograph We
have photographs of pretty much all the
boats We have for charter.
Naturally the boats that are chartered
for a day are the smaller boats. Keeping
nearer home and very likely in greater
waters they don't need to be so big, and

somebody wants big boat for a day. This
can't always be supplied right of hand.
and as a matter of fact owners OF such
boats do not commonly want to charter

such demands and are able to supply
them
I'VE had a man come In one afternoon
and want good, big. able sea-going boat
for the next day; just for a single day. 1t
SO happened that We had big boat then,
in commission and ready to go any min

showed this kentleman a picture OF the
yacht, which satisfied him. We told him
the charge for her for a single day would
be $3.50. which he paid on the spot; and
next morning at O'Clock he went aboard
the yacht at yacht club anchorage in the
North River, where she was lying. and
had her started down the bay. About $3.50

Value of the Marine Corps.

When one reviews the many services
rendered by the Marine Corps since the
beginning OF the war with Spain, and re-
Allies the many uses to which they can be
put, It becomes difficult to appreciate that
there existed at one time very strong
pressure In the naval service for the aboli-
ton OF the corps. Yet such Is the fact.
For years prominent officers OF the Navy
favored the abolition Of the marines. and
the employment In their place OF an equal
number OF bluejackets. The theory was
that the marine had survived his useful
ness. as there was no duty he performed
on board ship that the regular sailormau
could not perform equally we'll. In q word,
1t was believed that the marine was msre-
ly useless encumbrance.
With the advent of modern ships, with
their secondary batteries and numerous
mechanical contrivances. the duties OF
the marines increased. They were found
useful in handling the secondary bat
terry and machine guns, and the numerous
magazines and other important stations on
the ships requiring sentries made a large
force for marines essential on battleships
and other large vessels. The regular duty
OF the marines afloat Is to furnish guards
and TO maintain discipline and good orde.
In the ships company.
The splendid services rendered by ,ae
marines during the war with Spain Prov

and the Navy Department proposes to draft
fully 1000 men OF this force for service

OF marine to the army division which will
operate IN China
