State Fish Commissioner S. p. Bart
lett, of Illinois, says that enough fish
persisted during the heated season of
the summer OF 1901 to lave stocked
the streams of the United States. In
the ponds and lakes in the Illinois
river bottoms there were acres of dead
fish lying on the surface of the water.

Person.
Some interesting figures in popula-
ton are given in the Cosmopolitan by
Mr.. j. Holt Schooling The calcula-
ton is that in the year $3.50 the world
will be full of people The best au-
thorlties agree that in 1910 the popu-
latlon of the world was 682 900, 900. In
1S45 it was 100000 900 In 1885 l.
4o3 100000. The average yearly rate
of increase during the nineteenth cen
fury was ten persons to each 900 Of
population. From 1900 to 1850 this
country increased at the rate of thirty
nine to the thousand annually; Russia
fourteen; the United Kingdom. thir-
teen; Germany, eight and France, six
From 1850 to 1890 we increased twenty

ing emphasizes the fact that the Teu-
tonic nations increased in population
from 1880, 900 in 1900 to 1871 O0O. 900
in 1900 while the Latin nations in
creased from 50,000,0 900 to 10000 600
AT the same rate the Teutons in the
year 1000 will number GIL 900 900 and
the Latin 14s,OOO,OOO Mr.. School.ng's
conclusion is that as the past has be-
Ionsed to the Latins the future will
belong to the Teulons There is now
an average in the word of thirty-one
persons TO the square mile. In the
year 1000 at the same rate of increase
there Will be SO. Two hundred years
later there will be COG and in $3.50
there Will be an average of 1000 per-
sons to the square mile and an aggre-
gate population for the world of 81
O73O0O This would give to each per-
son an average OF two-thirds of an
acre, taking in mountain and arid
land, and then the world, it is reck-
oneu. would be full Of people.

Range In the Values OF Grades Of This
Wood.
There is a great range in the value
of mahogany timber. The poor grade
of short stock may sell as low as sc
dollars for 900 feet while fancy mater
ial, used for the manufacture of coun-
ter tops may be worth $3.50 for 900
feet, or even higher. Previous to the
war in Cuba much mahogany was
shipped from the island to the United
States, and the trade has been reviv-
Ing within the last two years. The
finest quality from this source is called
the san Jago" and is used in the
manufacture of fancy furniture and for
the interior work of houses. The price
ranges from $40 to -$l63 for 900 feet.
Fine hard Mexican mahogany. which
is one of the most satisfactory kinds
for fine furniture or interior work is
sold according to the grade. 1t is hard
wood, of good color, and finishes well.
The "firsts" and seconds" in this
class of stock are sold for about $3.50
for LOCO feet, but when it is selected
it is worth from $40 to 5000 for 1000
feet. Commons" sell at from S1l0 to
s145, and "culls" lowest grade) at
from $50 to $50 The soft Mexican ma
hogany is not desirable, and, in all
grades is worth from $40 to $50 for
1000 feet less than the hard variety

NEW LINE TWIN CITIES.

The evening Telegram says that the
Chicago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railroad is figuring on direct
and short line from the head of the
lakes to the Twin Cities. The survey
for the road is now being made with
ing this way from Copper Greek, near
Dednam on the line of the Great
Northern road They are occupying
the quarters of the Copper Greek
Mining company and will run a route
to this city. They will then return to
Copper Creek and work the other
There is a second crew down nearer
the Twin Cities that is worAing on the
same survey. This latter crew is to
run the line into Hudson. 1t will then
return and work this way until the
two crews meet when their work will
be completed.
1t has long been known and re-
marked that the Omaha road had a
very roundabout way to the Twin
Cities Although there is a time
agreement among the head of the
lakeTwin City roads the Omaha is
unable to give the service given by
the other roads. The proposed line
running in the neighborhood of Cop
per Creek and straight down to Hud-
son would make a material difference
in the length of the route of that road
from here to st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. A great deal of running time
would be cut off and the Omaha would
certainly have the most direct route

Long On Civilization and Empire.
Schools Follow the Flag.

Secretary Long was the principal speaker
at the patriotic exercises at bingham,
Mass. last week. In course of his speech he
said:
"We are to carry to our colonies simply
an extension of everything we have here
schools, political forms of government, re-
presentation in legislature, financial and
commercial Dstitutions-indeed everything
which representative American civilization
has.
"Some people talk as if this were an
extension of imperial power. 1t is simply
an extension of American civilization, and
with our flag must go, not the suggestion
of power, but the suggestion of enfranchis-
tment and enlargement. The flag repre-
sents not only the protection of the United
States, but better schools, better homes,
better roads, better business. Twenty years
hence the question may be left to those
island people whether they prefer to set up
government for themselves or not.

RuSsiia'S Rival Roads.
Trans Asiatic Line of England
and Germany.

1t was not to be expected that the Trans
Siberian Railway would be allowed to be
an exclusive medium of through traffic
overland in the Far East, or to exert an
undue political influence there if rival
line could be built. Long before the COM
pletlon of tue Russian line it is more than
likely that another route through southern
Asia and into the best trading area of Obi.
ma to Shanghai will be well under way.
England and Germany are, of course, the
two European nations most concerned in
securing an independent land r,u'e to Cal
ma, and it heppans that each of them alrea
dy possesses railroad system which cou'd
form part of the proposed line. IL is repor
ted that British and German engineers are
already agreed, with the consent of theiI
respective governments, upon the route to
be taken, aud that the proposed rival to the
Trans Siberian line is to be an anglo Ger
man project no one seems to doubt.

A Colony d Snakes.

A strip of abandoned land east of the
city of JeffersonvlIe Missouri is alive acth
snakes, some Of the reptiles measuring five
feet in length. A civil engineer, was run
ming the boundaries a few days ago, that
the land might be fenced, and ne encoun.

The owner went to the field to build the
fence. The sun was aoArm, and the ground
seemed to be covered with the crapling
reptiles Men charged on the snakes with
clubs and killed seventy five, while many
escaped. Tie fence was finally built, but
the workmen frequently stopped to Wage a
war of determination on the sna .es. Then
some one started to plow up the ground,
and the first iurrow turned up snakes of all

Lack Of Discipline.
Spoils kindergarten Child.

With the kinaergartens firmly establish
ed as part Of our public school system,
"ibe kindergarten child has come to be
considered by many teachers, both in the
kindergartens and in the grades above
those, an element not lacking in troublesome
qualities. Without attacking the general
theory OF kindergarten aoork, for that seems
to be firmly established, many kindergarten
teachers find fault with the results which
come from the great freedom of method
given to them and what they consider its
misuse or abuse in many kindergarten clas
ses.
A Well.known Boston Kindergarten ,oho
has been among the kindergartners of this
city, puts the situation in this way Nc
teacher is allowed anything like as much
freedom of method as the kindergarten, and
the result in many instances is that the idea
of play teaching has so far gone beyond the
ideas of discipline, necessary even in kinder
garten work, that the child is often positi-
vely manufactured to develop qualiti f
and habits which make him sore trial ir
the grades above.

Not A Party Of Negation.

Senator McLaurin has sent to W. f.
Clayton, prominent Republican, q letter
replying to request from him to define the
difference between his views and those held
by the Republicans.
Senator McLaurin outlines the differences
between the Hamilton and Jefferson pol
icies, the victory of the latter which subsi.
died the Collins line Of steamships to En-
gland, and under jackson made the first re
ciprocity treaty. He continues The De-
inocrats never failed to correct their errors.
They lost no opportunity to build up mer
chant marine. OIcs opposed to internal
improvements, Democrats we're the first to
advocate improvements of the Nicaragua
Canal and Pacific railroads. They declared
for free trade in 1913, incidental protec.
ton in 1868, tariff for revenue in 1880 and
went further in 1884 and 1888. The party
has been consistent, but never stultified it
self. /; changed with the times.

tic party does not exist for the IL ere purpose

CRACK CRUISERS.
Dearth of Seaman Class.

Despite its confident hopes the British
Admiralty is fading it difficult to complete
the compliments of crack ships. The total
f. rec voted this year numbered one Lund.
red and fifteen thousand of all grades and
rates, but this maximum has net been
reached owing to slackneSs in recruiting and
the apparent disinclination of old hands to
reenter.
Special cable advices from London point
out the failure to secure more than half
crews for the armored cruiser Cressy and
for the second class cruiser Eclipse. These
are usually attractive types to man-o'.
warsnen, but so far a cali upon all the
depots has met with no success, and the
commissioning of these vessels may be Sc
riously delayed. A similar dearth Of the
seaman class exists in the U. S. and the
Navy Department has been compelled to
assign number of vessels for the training
of landsmen to fill the vacancies.

The annual count of the coin, amount

On the following day six bags were found
to be missing from the cashiers vault. As
