Is Our Population According 10
The Last Census.

The population of Marion, as
ascertained by the census of 1900
is 1864. This shows an increase
of 224, or 26 per cent, over 1880,
when the town had $40 inhabi-
tan;s. These figures do not in
clude some portions of what is
generally known as Marion, and
considering this our city has made
a creditable showing in the matter
of population. Some neighbor-
ing towns and villages also show
good increases in the number Of
their inhabitants. Sturgis has
1858 inhabitants, an increase over
1890 of 93l. Providence has 1886
an increase of 76i. The following
shows the population of some
nearby towns, according to the
last census: Blackford 2i3, by.

WATER POWER IN THE ALPS.
.'sctories Operated by Electricity
Generated by Force of Noun
tain streams.

A number of circumstances have
recently directed the attention of
France more than ever before to the
utilization of water power for driving
machinery. The country has been
suffering from the coal crisis which
last year caused a serious advance
n the price of this fuel: and while
steam coal was becoming more expen-
siye, the need for it was greater
than ever owing to activity in the
metallurgic industries and in railroad
building. France is compelled TO buy
arge quantities of coal owing 10 her
insufficient home supply. One of the
foremost questions now before the
country is the substitution of water
power in the Alps for good deal Of
the coal now consumed in French
factories, says London journal.
The AlPine region of France is
about as large as that of Switzerland.
Lomhardy and Piedmont together.
This fact is not widely recognized.
The mountains of southeastern
France on the whole are by no means
so imposing as the Swiss and Italian
Alps, but they cover more ground.
The population of Frances Alpine
districts is much less than that of
the neighboring mountain regions,
and this is one of the reasons why
Switzerland and Italy have far sur
passed France in the utilization OF
mountain streams for driving machin-
cry.
Annales de Geographic recently an
nounced that there are now in the
French Alps AZ factories whose pow
er is electrically supplied to them
by electricity generated from water
power. Engineers estimate that AT
least 100000 horse power is now
running TO waste among the streams
OF the Alps which might be harnessed
in the service " many industries and
thus reduce the importation of coal
France takes high rank in the pro
duction of electrical machinery and
thus may supply her own appliances
for the transmission of water power
Several important projects are now
under way Work is in progress fol
the development of 10000 horse pow
er near Bellegarde. A French engi
neer named Souleyre proposes K
| transform the lower Rhone into d;
Gigantic hydraulic stairway" b,
which industry and agriculture will
largely profit. A committee of engi
neers appointed by the ministry o
public works and agriculture is study
ing the project with view to decid
ing upon its feasibility.

Protecting the Sea birds.

1t is reported that as many as 49,
600 birds were shipped from New
Orleans to single New York house
in one year, and that this is not an
exaggeration is indicated by the fact
that that year shipment of 1900
gulIs and terms from Morgan City,
La, was stopped at Baltimore by the
efforts of the American Ornitholog-
ical union. Proceedings were begun
against Dumont e. Co.,, the consignees,
under the federal and state laws pro-
hibiting the killing and traffic in sea
birds; and the case was decided in
favor of the union. But while the
union was successful in securing the
passage in % states of laws protect
ing the sea birds, at least in the
breeding season, it was unable. to in
duce the Louisiana legislature to aid
IT has accordingly determined to try
to accomplish the same results in an
other way. To that end. IL has ar,
ranged with Prof. George r. Boyer, Of
Tulane university, the representa-
tive of the union in Louisiana, to pro
test the sea, birds by game wardens
and to drive of the hunters where
they violate proper riRhts.-N. 1 Sun.

A POINT FOR PARENTS.s
Children should First Re Given .
Term of Schooling Under the
TufeIage of Nature.

If nature be the teacher, we need
never fear that our children have be-
come pupils too soon, because hers
is not examining method. Every
little mind brought in contact with
her is piled necessarily with knowl-
edge, it is true, yet as freely as the
air is drawn into the lungs and fills
them, giving with each respiration
new vigor and life, even so does Dame
Nature impart her instruction to the
mind, says Gertrude Okie Gaskell. in
Woman's Home Companion. Often
she may require a preceptor. Let us
not fail to be that preceptor, and show
our children how her book always
lies open before them, waiting to be
read, filed from cover to cover with
every living, growing thing about;
and that nothing is too insignificant
to find a place among the pages. II
they become well acquainted with
her they will love her, and will have
gained besides knowledge which
will never be forgotten. nor relegated
to the attic of the brain on account of
disuse. In view of this would IL not
be wise to let our children give up the
first seven or eight years Of their
lives to the tutelage of nature alone

II appears That the lady of the

special dclcctation of the children, and
after placing them in a basket set
them away In the cellnr. \ little later
the man OF the house suddenly took IL
into his head that he would set two
Of his favorite hens So he went down
cellar to secure the eggs, and noticing
the basket. took out enough for two
settings, and carried them out 10 The
barn. He arranged them all right,
and when he turned away the hens
had started In on their long task But
he happened To look back as he neared
the house. and then he noticed that the
hens were very much disturbed about
something. They we're scratching and
pecking nj the eggs. aud clucking in
a highly offended manner. He went
back and tried 10 soothe them, but
instead Of being reconoiled they flew

ABOUT ASPARAGUS.
Several ways of Cookins This Highly
Esteemed Vegetable That
Are Right.

Asparagus Is one of the oldest
vegetables that come upon our tables,
n comes, like some other vegetables
which have also apparently outgrown
their Indigenous habits. from the
sea. The epicnres of Greece and 9th.
er countries bordering on the Medi.
terranean gathered wild asparagus
for their tables directly from wild
beds located on the shore. The only
correct way to serve the vegetable,
says the New York Tribune, is TO ex.
anime each stalk. scrape II down
ward from about an inch from where
II enters the ground. and then tic the
stalks firmly together, stand them in
rather deep covered pot so the ex-
treme tips OF the bunch are not in
the water, and LET them boil steadily
in this way for 20 TO % minutes. The
asparagus tips by this method are
cooked by the steam. Dish the as
paragus the instant u is tender.
Asparagus is sometimes baked with
cheese. Put q layer of grated Par
mesan cheese between layers Of as.
paragus which has been boiled about
Is minutes Cover the asparagus
with grated cheese. Prepare n cream
sauce. or. better still, a good Hol-
landaise sauce. Pour II over the lay
ers Of asparagus. Add soft bread
crumbs and set the dish in the oven
to brown for IS minutes.
Asparagus makes most delicious
cream puree soup. II also makes
one Of the most satisfactory salads
when IL is chilled after being boiled
and dressed with simple French
dressing. II Is served in lengths,
never cut to pieces for this purpose.
For soup, the lower ends of the as
psragus stalks, which are sometimes
cut of and thrown away, are cooked
In white stock until tender and
pressed through a pnree sieve. This
makes green puree Of asparagus
in which little whipped cream and
sometimes half a cup Of asparagus
tips are served.

LONGEVITY OF PRESIDENTS.
COMMONLY Accepted Theory That tn.
strain of once shortens Life
Not Sustained.

President Harrison's death sugs
gests general impression that the
strain of his Office shortens the life
OF the chief executive after he re.
turns to the people. An examination
Of the records from the beginning
Of the republic down does not Justify
this assumption. On the contrary. il
appears that during the early days
of the nation. at least the presidents
were extremely long lived. Those
who had been through the reyoln-
tionary period, with the exception OF
the great Washington, all lived to a
great age. Since then the age OF our
presidents at their deaths has been
somewhat reduced but the same +

SLAVE AMONG sEMINoLES.
Last yistiee of the Condition which
Precipitated the seven Years
War in the south.

A character holding a position un-
paralleled in Uncle Sans domain is
Hannah, the negro slave belonging 10
Tallahassee's family. She is full
blooded negress, with thick lips, broad,
fat nose, and kinl<y hair, which may
or may not have been combed in the
last quarter-century. Hannah is the
last vestige of Seminole slavery, the
one great subject of warfare IS years
ago between the Seminoles and the
southern planters, and upon which,
truly speaking, was based on the Seven
Years war, says Forest and Stream.
Hannah does the work of the fam
lily, and though she is kindly treated
yet a certain contempt is felt for her,
for Hannah is an "este lustee" Ga ne

negro is the lowest of human crea-

All preparations were being made for
the feast, but Billy Ham, Tallahassee's
son, had not been able to get deer
and so had purchased beef from
market 80 miles away. With pots and
kettles in readiness, Hannah was pre-
pairing the beef, when the little boxlike
instrument was gently rested on rail
near by. Hanna's eye detected the
object, and she turned away and be

was adjusted, finger on button ready
