Demos Is funny bird! The people
OF Servia detested Milan when he was
King and would like to have seen him
lynched. They resented his brutal
treatment Of Queen Natalie and hated
him for what he was-a roue, a card

guard. Yet when his son, King Alex
ander. displays GOODNESS about his death
and has him buried outside of the king

lace becomes highly indignant at such

The South African war has over
shadowed for a time that great prof.
ect of Cecil Rhodes, the Cape-to- Cairo
telegraph. That work has gone stead
lily on. Forests, streams, natives and
wild animals have been conquered.
Three thousand miles of poles, stretch
Ing northward from the Cape, have
been erected, and but one thousand
three hundred miles yet remain to be
conquered. Rhodes has also under
taken that greatest project the world
has ever seen-the Cape-to-Cairo Rail-
way-which will soon be pushed to
Victoria Falls. When these great en-
terprises are completed long step
will have been taken for the civiliza-
ton OF Africa. War is a great force,
but how can 1t compare with modern
science-that which is inevitably con-
quering the dark regions and the habi-
tations Of cruelty.

students or social conditions In En-
gland are tending toward the conclu-
sion that the humane sentiment of
modern society is productive of harm
in some of it's phases. The Spectator
recently showed that the comfortable
housing Of paupers in London, with all
its great benefits, has had bad effect
in increasing pauperism. During the
Boer war and the prosperity Of the last
year it was impossible to get enough
men in London to do all the work Of
fered, yet the almshouse population
showed no falling off. There We're
thousands of new occupants. In the
same way the too lenient treatment Of
habitual criminals seems to be having
bad effect, as shown by Robert An
derson, Assistant Commissioner Of Po-
lice in London, in an article in the
Nineteenth Century. Mr.. Anderson
shows by official statistics that crimes
by professional offenders have steadily
increased in London since the trans
portation of such criminals was abol-
ished in 1867. While the total number
crease, the number Of offenses by pro-
iessional criminals has grown each
year. Within the last half century the
burglaries in London have increased
fifteen-fold, and professional offenses
Of other kinds have shown a similar in
crease. Mr.. Anderson believes this is
due to the milder punishments which
the general decrease of crime has made
possible. Men who deliberately choose
q life Of crime are taking advantage Of
the humane sentiment which permits
them to escape with short terms. They
should be treated more stringently than
the ordinary law breaker. The point
Mr.. Anderson makes Is valid. He says
the practice of sentencing habitual
criminal merely for his latest Offense
is unjust to the community. Such a
criminal, after serving his sentence, at
once returns to his profession" To set
such public enemy at liberty, says
Mr.. Anderson, is as stupid and wicked
as to allow a smallpox patient to go at
large in the community. He urges life
IMPRISONMENT for such cases. When a
man is seen to belong irrevocably to
the class OF incorrigibles he should no
longer be released to prey upon the
public. If all the well-known criminals
OF this kind were so treated. says Sir
James stephen, an eminent English
iurist, 1.-THE really bad offenders might
in a few years be made as rare us
wolves"

His Prophecy Came True.

Edward Wigglesworth, Hollis pro-
fessor Of divinity ut Cambridge" In a
little pamphlet published in the porten-
tous year Of 1875. must have had cor.
rect idea of the prosperity Of this coun.
try during the century just closing, as
he predicted that the population Of the
British American colonies" in 1900
would be 8O.OOOOOO.
Included in this estimate was Nova
Scotia, now the Dominion of Canada,
which with its last recorded census re-
suit Of 4, 100000 added to the 10000, 600
of the United States fulfills almost to
the letter the accuracy Of the Wiggles-
worth prophecy. And this somewhat
remarkable forecast was not based up
on any species Of guess work. but upon
O well defined and clearly constructed
mathematical theory, which, reduced
to plain words, can be best described In
the language Of Its author:
1.-The British Americans have doubled
their numbers In every period Of
twenty-five years from their first plan
tation."
Taking this statistical fact a. basis
for his calculations the Harvard divin-
ity professor constructed a system Of
reckoning the increase Of q country's
population which history has shown to
be as correct as his method was simple.
Assuming that the IT'S population
was 100000 Mr.. Wigglesworth esd
mated 10000 for 1900. 10000, 600 for
1925. 10000. 900 for 1850. 10000, 600 tor
1875 and $4,000. 900 for 1900, and the
record Of the United States census since
