President Pritchett's formula for the
population in 1900 gives II, f72.0o0 Since
his paper was published the actual count
has been made and he result is T6.2o5220.
The discrepancy is 1.17G. 7s0, and this num-
Der is so large as to suggest that predic-
tions for the years 1000 and beyond win
have little value. However. assuming that
the formula will give satisfactory results.
IT follows that ten centuries from now
there Will be forty-one billions OF people
within the United States, or over 1000
persons per square mile Great Britain
in 1900 contains about 300 inhabitants per
square mile.
These great changes are certainly not
to come I'm our time, and there Is, there
fore, no necessity TO take thought how 10

there will be one hundred and ninety
millions Of us. Such a number is not ap-
palling With our present resources we
can take care Of number as great az
this. Wars. pestilence. famines and the
like will introduce new factors into the
problem, and will gravely modify the
potency Of those now effective. II Is al
most idle to look forward more than half
a century. snll. the figures have high

FENELoN's INTERPRETATION.
Says Kingdom of God Consists in Per
forming Duty.

Says Kingdom OF God Consists In Per-
forming Duty.
There Is no explanation of Fenelon's
character apart from his religion.
True, he was natively modest, amiable,
refined and high-minded, but Others
have been similarly endowed who
never achieved that special elevation
of character we call saintliness, and
which was Fenelons distinguishing
characteristic. It is sometimes charg-
ed against Fenelon that his idea Of
religion was effeminate, mystical and
impracticable. But Fenelon's own
character is the unanswerable demon
stration Of its consistency with excep-
tional manliness, sagacity and success
full achievement. True piety," he says
to his favorite royal pupil, has in it
nothing weak, nothing sad nothing
constrained, 1t enlarges the heart, 1t is
simple, free and attractive. The king
dom of God does not consist in a scru-
pulous observance Of petty details, but
in a due performance OF the duties
which belong to every condition Of
life" The avowed defender of Ma
dame Guyon, and Of the principles of
Quietism, Fenelon's Interpretation of
that system is altogether ration
al, scriptural and practical.
The three things for which he con-
tends are very simple and fundamen-
tai He contends that the Gospel has
made it possible for every human be-
ing ID to love God with all his heart;
(2) to subdue and expel every unto
ward and rebellious temper and af-
fection, and go to accept Gods direc-
tioi implicitly in all the affairs of life.
His exercises for the achievement of
this condition are the commonplace
exercises of prayer, meditation, the
study of scripture, holy living and un-
ceasing benevolence. However the
metaphysics of Quietism may be ex-
pounded. and however they may have
been stated by himself, for dialectical
purposes, this was Fenelon's practical
exposition of the system, the one
which he accepted as the rule of his
own life.-From THE Inner Life Of
Fenelon." by Charles NJ Stuart, in the
Chautauquan for October.

Our Population
. Thousand
Years Hence

The president of the Massachusetts, In
sutute OF Technology, Prof II. S Prit-
chett, publishes in the Popular Science
Monthly a paper upon the population Of
the United States during the next ten CEN
tures which is interesting In many ways.
The deccnnial census returns from the
year 1870 onward give the actual number
Of Inhabitants. Is there any method Of
predicting how many Inhabitants there
viii be IN any future year The answer
10 this question is-no; there Is no such
method And the reason for the answer
rests on the fact that the elements upon
which the increase OF population will de-
pond are not all known 10 us and still
more the effect which the known factors
are to have in tho future cannot be GER
tainly predicted from the effects which
they have had IN the past. A widespread
famine or a decided change In the birth
rate will, as Prof Pritehctt. remarks. in
troduce uncertainties impossible Of pre-
diction The descent OF the hordes Of
Ghengiz Khan. upon the populous cities
Of Persia In the thirteenth century was
entirely Unforeseen and no formula could
have taken account Of the thousands upon
thousands OF the slain.
There is a problem. however, which can
be solved. and it Is this: II we take the
census returns for the years 1890, 1850,
1910 and so on to $780, we have a series
Of eleven numbers to-wit the total popu-
latlon OF the United States for each OF
the census years. II we assume that the
same causes that acted IN the past and
no others. are to continue to act IN the
future In substantially the same way. and
with essentially the same potency, Il is
easy to deduce a general formula which
will express the past and future growth
Of the population with an approach to
exactness. The real problem that we seek
to solve is unsoNable-nam what "a to
be the future growth Of our population
The problem that can be solved Is much
simpler. and It is 70 establish a mathe-
matical formula that viii represent the
progression of any eleven numbers with
tolerable exactness and that viii serve
to give other terms of the series. This
formula will represent the future growth
of the country IL the forces now acting
and only these, continue effective In their
present power. and only so.
With these distinctions clearly drawn
We may proceed 10 quote Prof Pritchett's
figures, says Edward s Holden, In the
New York Sun. In the year 1870 the act

To select glass with discretion IL Is
necessary to understand somewhat OF
its manufacture, and to recall the

The Grenada Boys Wipe Up the Earth
with the Winona Team.

There has been some base ball play
ed In Grenada ia the last week, and
some of it first-class playing, too. On
Friday afternoon of last week the Duck
Hill nfnc crossed bats with the Gren-
ada boys on the home diamond. Some
pretty playing was done, and the score,
at the end Of the game, showed thtr-
teen runs to the credit OF Grenada and
four for the boys from below.
Monday afternoon the cotton buyers
played the clerks, the gate receipts
being given to the Ladies' Cemetery
! Association. The clerks won by a score
Of 10 to 10.
The last and best game Of the season
was played Tuesday afternoon between
| Winona and Grenada. The game
lasted for two hours and was full OF
snap and ginger from the minute the
| first ball passed over the plate. The
| winona aggregation OF ball tossers
marked up three scores in the first
inning, and then for two innings not a
| player on either side saw the color Of
the home plate. In the It'll innirg the
| Winona team changed pitchers and
this proved their undoing. At the end
OF the eighth inuing Grenada had four
teen scores and Winona seven. In the
ninth Winona failed to do any good,
and the Grenada boys refused to go to
the bat again-the score as it stood
satisfied them sufficiently.
For their age aud experience. Tai
bert Stevens, pitcher, and Robert
Drummond, catcher. tor the Grenada
team, are exceptionally fine ball play
ers and would distinguish themselves
had they sufficient opportunity.
