CONVENT LANTERNS.
An Old Fad with Modern Improve.
ments - An Electrical
Display.

In the old days favorite fad for
travellers in ancient lands was the col
lection of lanterns. Those from ruined
converts. decayed mosques and pow
erty-stricken shrines were prime favor
ties. The fad is not entirely dead, but
the supply has run so short that now
snterprising firms in Birmingh am,
England, and in New York turn out
large numbers of excellent limitations,
says the Post. The new ones are
made by hand, and, SO far as
are superior to the ancient designs,
which were hand made, but the latter
in many instances were ornamented
with inlaid work, as well as with carv-
ing and twisting of the most artistic
type. The machine-made goods can
never reproduce these latter character
istics SO well as to deceive an expert
The material of the lanterns varies
from fine woods and glass to iron, steel,
brass, bronze, copper, pewter, and even
silver. The simplest forms are cylin-
ders which are perforated with nu-
merous holes, so as to resemble the
clumsy sieve. Then comes globes, cubes,
octahedra, heXagonaI prisms, ovoids
and more complex solid forms. The
prettiest of all are the mosque Ian
terms. Many of them are of bronze in
laid with silver, pierced with little
windows, and these closed in turn with
white or colored glass. With lighted
candle inside they look like mass of
jewels in a dark room. A wealthy man
on Brooklyn Heights, who has trav-
eled a great deal, has one of his rooms
illuminated by lanterns of this type
They range in size from small affairs
four inches in diameter to stately
lamps a foot in diameter and two feet
high. In place of candles inside he en-
ploys electric lights, one bulb to the
smaller lanterns and three, four and
dozen TO the larger ones. When the
current is turned on the sp!endor of
the effect is almost startling. The
colors of the glass have been deep
ened and made richer by the years, and
the radiance they give may be COM
pared to that from great oriel in a
Gothic cathedral.

1t is fairly clear that the statistic

for the eighth generation given in
the last line of the table are not COM
plete. If the eight generations are
all included it follows that the first
ancestor, who was born in 1857, had
1,26S descendants, and that the aver
age length of a generation in this
family was 33 $40 years-exactly a
third of century. If the last line
is omitted, the length of generation
results as 34h years.
The statistics for other families
have been studied in similar fash
ion, and the conclusion from all of
them is that the more nearly complete
the record of the births in each gen.
Grafton is, and the greater the num-
Der of generations included in the ex-
aminations may be, the greater is the
approximation to an average period
of SO years. For New England stock,
then, between the first settlement CT
the country and the present time,
we may safely assume three gener-
ations to each century. For other
stocks, in other countries, under
other conditions, special investiga-
tions must be made.

A WORD ABOUT FRIENDS.
We Need Good Ones to Help Us In the
Development of Good in
Ourselves.

! If we would retain our friends we
must make as proper use of them as
of our enemies, or any other neces-
!sity. Yet a great many of us do not
know how to use our friends, and we
are constantly striving to create an
uneven balance of power, mostly in
favor of ourselves. A friend is sup.
posed to be deposit in the bank, a
pack horse for emergencies, some.

money from, to relate our stories to-

son in Brooklyn Life.
Friendship, however, is none OF
these things. Your friend is lost to
you when he begins to help you. The
ionly real friend is one whom we can
depend upon always when we are not
lin trouble. Our own strength always
governs the measure of friendship
that others feel for u.s. A friend is a
necessity, not for what he gives us,
but for what we can give to him.
And yet if he should ask this of us, or
require it, 10! our friendship for him
would melt away. Friendship is moth.
ling but the capacity in others to help
yourselves.
= 1t is true, therefore, that when we
are in need the last person to borrow
from is our friend. Friendship is
more valuable than money. 1t doesn't
pay to give up one for the other. We
need our friends to enable us to de-
velop certain inherent capacities
which make us valuable to others as
means whereby they, in turn, may de-
velop into the right sort of friends.
In choosing our friends, therefore
we should select in them those quail
ties which will rebound to our own
development, which will thus serve to
bind them closer to us as time goes on.
A friend is merely a permanent
guest. We should treat him as if he
owned the house, and not ask any
thing of him,

GROWTH OF GERMAN CITIES.
Prosperity Seems to Have Obtained
Permanent FOOthOld in
the Fatherland,

Consul General Mason's figures Civ
ing the population of German cities by
the census of December 1, 1900, fur
nishes interesting figures for COMPARE
son with our own census taken in June
last. There are 80 German cities of
over 100000 inhabitants, as against 80
in this country. Berlin, with a popula-
ton of 1,6s4,345 is considerably larger
than Chicago and about the equal of
that part of New York included in Man
haitian borough, or old New York city
without the Bronx additions. Berlin
has doubled in population within 80
years, and by annexing its populous
suburbs could obtain a total of So, $780,
COO. In five years its percentage of
gain has been 1873, while in the last ten
years the New York territory has in
54.44 per cent. The most rapidly grow
ing cities of Germany at the present
time are Nuremberg, Frankfort, Halle,
Mannheim and Posen, all of them man
ufacturing towns. Of the cities above
100000 Crefeld alone shows decrease.
said to be largely due to the loss of the
American market for its textile goods,
now supplied by our own factories,
says the Buffalo Courier.
Hamburg, the great seaport of Ger
many, is the second city, with 704,669
inhabitants, and a rate of gain almost
the same as that of Berlin. We have
no city of the same approximate size
for it is curious fact that there is no
American city between st. Louis. with
575,23ssand Philad elphia, with 1,293, 697.
There is a gulf, indeed. Munich, Leip-
sic and Breslau are all between AGO.
600 and 100000 in the order named, and
of these only Munich shows gain in
the five years of more than 20 per cent.
Munich approaches closely to Balti-
more in size. having 49s, 5O3 to'5Os, 957 in
the Maryland metropolis, but it falls
short of both St. Louis and Boston, the
latter being less than $4,000 behind St.
Louis. Dresden and Cologne are near
together in the list with 395,349 and
370,6s5, respectively, which puts them
in the list with Cleveland, and ahead
of Buffalo, San Francisco, Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh, there being IL cities
above 100000 in this country and only
seven in Germany.
Frankfort, with population of $751;
s13 and a growth in five years of IS
per cent, is almost tied with our slow
growing New Orleans. Nuremberg
with 26o,743 people and the phenomenal
increase of 60 per cent. since 1895, is
pushing closely after Detroit, Milwau-
kee and Washington. These are all the
cities in both countries of over $780,
600 inhabitants. Evidently the German
cities are prosperous as rule, and the
rate of growth of few of them is GER
tainly remarkable. In spite of tenn
porary depressions, like that at pres
ent existing, it is reasonable to expect
that the young German empire will
take rank very close to the top of
the list of nations in wealth and ma

NOTES ON DRESS.
Some of the New Features in Pretty
Costumes of the Current
Season.

Hats are growing decidedly higher.
The exaggerated fat shape has been
unbecoming in most cases, and it has
really had no considerable vogue. The
.milliners rarely show these now, and
not only are they making all toques
higher, but they are putting high
crowns on large, picturesque hats of
velvet. Broad brims with high crowns
are really borrowed from the Louis
,turesque lace collar and cuffs that
are so modish. These hats are, of
course, heavy with long plumes, says
a fashion paper.
A new feature on high-necked frocks
is the Louis XIII. collar. This is
copied directly from the old picture,
land is simply a deep, circular collar
that falls bit over the shoulders in
;scant folds. 1t is worn with fancy
Ichoker, minus tie, or with gown cut
without collar. This same collar is
used in more elaborate fashion, COM
ing from under some second trim
ming, such as a fichu or embroidered

appears on many of the midwinter
,frocks.
The Stuart period is one in which
the dresses can be adapted to chill
ldren's needs, and the white satin and
falling lace collars of Vandyck's por-
traits are repeated in many child's
frock to-day. The empire style is
prevalent, full skirts, generally of ac-
contemplated chiffon or mousseline
coming from a lace yoke, with the d.
vision hidden by draped sash; the
style is a graceful one for young fig
ures. Others are set in full to the
collar band, with muslin fchu
draped round the neck, the long ends
falling in front.
The newest designs in cutwork in
cloth or velvet are outlined either
with tiny thread of gold cord or
chenille; and girdle ends, collar and
rever points trimmed with this bright
ened cutwork have little gold ferrets
or sequins as finish.
A panne gown in deep yellow is
very handsome with a trimming OF
white lace run through with narrow
black velvet ribbon. This has gold

A pretty note of color is added to
some of the recent gowns by lining
or trimming in some conspicuous way
the bell sleeves. Sleeves remain very
full below the elbows, and skirts to
accord are growing quite voluminous
about the feet, although most care
fully fitted about the waist.

WHAT IS A GENERATIoNa
The Question Ls Not Altogether a.
Easy to Answer as 1t
May Seem.

One of the commonplace of gene
alogy has been that a generation is
33 years; that is, that the difference
between the average date of birth CT
one generation and the average date
of birth of the next following is, on
the whole, 33 years. AT first sight
it would seem simple matter to ver-
ify, taking the histories of royal and
princely houses as data; but difficult
ties of various kinds arise. For in
stance, the line from William the
Conqueror to Queen Victoria may be
divided into 25 or 81 periods accord
ing as we follow one or another line
of ancestors; and the resulting inter
generation period becomes 81 ITO or
20 $40 years in the two cases. More
over, it is at least possible that the
period is different for different races
and for different stocks. The statis-
ties for Jews and for Mohammedans,
for example, would probably yield
very different results; and the period
for the Jews in Moorish Spain would,
in all likelihood, be other than that
for the Jews in modern Russia.
The length of the generation should,
then, be studied in each group of peo-
pie separately. The early New Eng
land settlers were homogeneous in
stock and in many families there are
seven or eight generations in which
the marriages have been, almost
without exception, between descend
ants of the original settlers. Mr..
Charles H. Chandler, of Ripon, Wis,
has recently, says the New York
Sun, studied the statistics for
six New England families and print
ed his results in tabular form. For
one such family his table is as fol-
