HIS PROPHECY CAME TRUE.
Prediction as to Our Present
Population.

Edward Wigglesworth, Hollis pro-
fessor of divinity at Cambridge" in a
little pamphlet published in the por-
tentons year of 1775. must rave had a
correct idea of the prosperity OF this
country during the century just closed.
as he predicted that the population of
the British American colonies" in
1000 would be 10000 900, says the Ma
tionsl Magazine.
included in this estimate was Nova
Scotia. now the Dominion of Canada.
which with its last recorded census re-
suit of $500. 600 added TO the 6 200, 900
of the United States fulflls almost to
the letter the accuracy Of the Wiggies-
worth prophecy. And this somewhat
remarkable forecast was not based
upon any species of guess work. but
upon a well defined and clearly con
structed mathematical theory. which,
reduced to plain words. can be best de-
scribed in the language of its author:
The British-Americans have dou-
bled their numbers in every period of
25 years from their first plantation"
Taking this statistical fact as 4 basis
for his calculations the Harvard divin-
ity professor constructed a system of
reckoning the increase of a country's
population which history has shown to
be as correct q : his method was simple.
Assuming that the 1775 population
was $500. eco. Mr.. Wigglesworth esti-
mated 5.COo,o 0o for 1900, 100000 for
1929, 100000 0 for 1850. 40,OoO. eco for
1875 and $4,000. 600 for 1900, and the
record of the United States census
since its initial taking in 1890 shows
substantially these figures, as follows:
Census of 1900. 5,3os, 900; 1928 Qs20),
9,633. 900; 1850, 23,1 1871. 600; 1878 Gs7G).
$685. 900; 1900. with Canada, $1,000
600.

An English authority informs us that
an audience of 1000 people, listening for
two hours to a concert, are not only cul-
tivating and INDUCING their musical
taste, but are engaged IN the somewhat
prosaic occupation of producing 10 less
than 100 weight of coal and II gallons of
water from the Impurities and moisture
of their own breath. and that If they
we're all performing themselves, instead
IF listening, this quantity would be
nearly doubled. 1t is far more whole
some to drink the undiluted water of the
Thames al Blaclswall than to breathe
the air of a crowded and unventilated
room, and how clearly people can be
content to do so is only applicable on
the principle that what the eye does
o see the heart~does not gr:eve over.

WE FURNISH THEM COPPER.
Other Countries Have to Look to the
United States for That
Metal.

Copper is n important article
which neither Germany nor any other
country is able to get nearer home
than the United States. The inven-
ton of the telegraph, telephone,
electric trolley and motor cars and
the use of electricity in lighting and
transmitting power has made copper,
which next to silver is the best con
ductor of heat and electricity, an abb
solutely necessary article. The United
States produce one-half of all the cop
per mined in the world, Spain and
Portugal one-fourth. Germany mines
from 1900 to 0,O00 tons a year, all
of which she uses herself and in addi-
ton buys $l0,o00, 600 worth in the
United States. Australia and Canada
produce small quantities of this yalu-
able metal. The United States. al
though one of the foremost users of
electricity, only half the
copper ii produces and is able to sup
ply all Europe with its surplus. The
worlds production of copper has in
creased one-thG'd within the last six
years, but the demand for IL has in
creased s per cent. Besides its use in
the electrical industries copper is
used to alloy tin in making bronze
and with zinc to produce brass.
Brass in fittings now enters into the
manufacture of machinery, gas, cleo
trio light and plumbers fixtures,
building hardware, beds and furni-
ture trimmings.

HE WAS IN A HURRY.
And the bright Small BOY Got the
Job He Was After with
out Delay.

The merchant had arrived at his of
flee rather early in the morning. and
five minutes after he got down to his
desk a foxy-looking, bright-faced bog
came in. The merchant vas reading
and the boy, with his hat off, stood
there expectantly, but saying nothing
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
At the end of two minutes he
coughed slightly and spoke.
Excuse me, sir" he said. but Tn
in a hurry"
The merchant looked up.
"What do you want?" he asked.
81 want a job, if you've got one for
me-"
"Oh, you dol" snorted the merchant
well, what are you in such a hurry
about?"
1--WE got to be, that's why" was the
sharp response. II left school yester-
day afternoon to go to work, and
haven't got a place yet, and l can't
afford to be wasting time. If you
can't do anything for me say so and
I'll go. The only place where ! can
stop long is in the place where they
pay me for it."
The merchant looked at the clock
''When can you Gomez" he asked.
81 don't have to come replied the
youngster. I'm here now, and I'd
been at work before this IL you said
So"
Half an hour later he was at 1t, and
he's likely to have a job just as long
as he wants one.

M ON HORSEBACK.
Are Noted for Their
Courage.

The number of women, especially in
the upper circles of the east, who
have taken to equestrianism is increas-
ing very rapidly. 1t has been noted
as a somewhat singular fact that the
average woman becomes a more pro-
ficient rider than the average man. for
she has naturally lighter hands and is
so enabled to obtain more satisfactory
results. Riding. like all other exer-
cises that require both grace and skill;
is more easily learned while young.
and this aptitude of the youngsters has
been a source of modification to many
of their elders who could not grasp
the knack of riding so easily. How
ever, but few ONE who once begin to
learn to ride ever give it up either from
distaste or inability to master the
difficulties of learning. Generally wom-
en- are very courageous riders. and it
it a fact that a well-bred horse never
Lacks courage when a woman is on his
back.
Stout women experience the great
est difficulty in learning to ride, and
seldom become graceful or competent
riders. No stout woman should at
tempt to ride al other gaits than the
walk or canter. and ii is at this latter
gait that all women look their best.
Beginners, as a rule, are always nerv-
Gus and haunted by a fear of falling,
and even the more experienced riders
do not seem to enjoy riding a horse
that rears. and, in fact, this is quite
the worst fault a horse can have.

OUR NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Up 10 the Opening of b
Civil War.

When Washington last beheld the
eity which bears his NAME, shortly be-
fore his death in 1899. 1t was a strag-
Cling settlement in the woods, almost
wholly devoid of streets, with 80 or 40
Reimbursement of these small and
uneomfortable-and an unfinished
capitol and presidents house. Indeed,
Washington long remained a sparsely
built. unsightly city and a comfortable
place of residence. For more than a
generation it's growth in population
was less than 600 a year-a rate of in
crease that would now put to shame
almost any village in the land; and so
late as 1910 De Bacourt, the French
minister, could write that Washington
was neither a city. nor a village, nor
the country" but "a building yard
placed in a desolate spot, wherein liv-
ing is unbearable."
rhe opening of the civil war found it
a dirty, struggling, unkempt town.
The water supply came from pumps
and springs; there were neither street
cars nor paved streets; no fire depart
ment, no police force, worthy of the
name, and not a sewer in the city.
Eastern bluffs lined the river bank:
stables and wooden fences surrounded
the white house; the present depart
ments were not half finished. and the
parks and commons were given up to
weeds. But all this was changed by
the struggle of the union, which doub-
led the population of Washington and
brought in freedom and northern en-
terprise. but more important still, by
a thousand moving and glorious asso-
Citations. endeared the capital to the
people of the whole country. Then
came its remaking by Shepherd and his
associates. Now it is truly an imperial
city. and the judgment of Washington
and the genius of L'Enfant have been
indicated.

KHAKI AS A LIFE pREsERvER.

In the Century, under the title OF

Palmer. The writer is eloquent on
the advantages of khaki as a uni

THE accuracy of the Chinese rifle
fire is amazing. | noticed that the
bullets were knocking up the dust in

over the mud wall (where the writer
was) and charged across the thousand
yards between the mud wall and their
present position. That is always
proof of good shooting. | suppose

their blue shirts. Theoretically, all
our regiments in the Philippines are
in full khaki. Virtually. zone is ex-
cept those on police duty in the
towns. For campaigning, both men
and officers prefer the blue wooden
shirt, which absorbs perspiration in
the daytime and keeps off the chill
and vapors at night.) The British blue
jackets are completely in blue, with
white straw hats. The French ma
rine infantry is in blue. with white
helmets. The Russians in their white
blouses, with the average fed as a
background. are as distinct as the
weeks washing on the line. AS for
the Japanese. the white crowns of
their caps make so many bul's-eyes
as the little fellows bend to the
double in a charge; and the Japs are
SO clearly that. unlike the Russians,
they never allow their white to be
soiled and become natural khaki"
The advance this morning. when
every nan except the f~usileer was a
moving target, if viewed by the home
STATS. would be sufficient to hasten
the adoption of khaki by all the arm
les of the world. After South Africa,
one would expect at least an attempt
to discolor white helmets; but every
army gets it's reforms out of it's own
experience"

London Mail coache. Menaced.

Doubtless for reasons of economy
and expedition the post Offices have
their parcels between London and
Brighton conveyed by mail coach,
says a London exchange. By
virtue of an old act, which has never
been repealed, this coach is obliged
to carry an arms basket containing
a couple of pistols and an old cutlass.
Highway robbery of the Dick Turpin
type is practically unknown now in
this country, but it would satisfy the
public curiosity very much If one
could be definitely informed whether
the antique weapons carried by the
Brighton coach are meant to serve as
a sentimental link with the past or
to be used as a means of defense in
case OF attack.

WOMEN In WHEAT FIELD.
-Four of Them Beat an Equal
Number of Men at Their
own work.

Yes, they certainly got through
those hundred sheaves of wheat in
mighty good time" remarked Alvin D
Weller; who, with three assistants, was
recently beaten in a wheat-thrashing
contest by four women. And he
added, ruefuily, "if | could only hire
men who would work as the women did
farming might be brought back 10 the
good old times when it paid to engage
in it,"
Mr.. Weller, who lives near Shanes-
vile, Pa, was at work with his men,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Miss
Laura Conrad, Miss Sallie Nell. Mrs.
Alvin D. Weller and Mrs. Hannah Weld
ner. after watching operations for
awhile, remarked that rapidity did not
seem to be much in evidence in their
work. Mr.. Weller said he thought they
were getting on very well. when one of
the women ventured the remark that
they could beat the men at their own
work. The challenge was accepted. It
was agreed that Farmer Weller and his
assistants should thrash a hundred
sheaves of heat and the four women an
equal number.
The women began the contest and
cleaned up their share in record break
ing time. Miss Noll and Mrs. Weller fed
the thrashing machine. while Miss Con-
rad and Mrs. Weidner operated the
gasoline engine. Weller and his men
then took their turn at a hundred
%sheaves, but the women were easy vic
tors.
Mr.. Weller afterward remarked that
their skill in keeping the thrashing
machine just rightly filed with wheat
was remarkable.
