Amazing Expansions of Grea. Br,t~,n


 IT. 1780 the area of the British for eign possessions outside and exclusive of the British Isles, but including Can ada, the West Indies, and India, may te set down as about 3h millions ot square miles, with a population of less than two millions of white people and perhaps forty-fiye millions of colored races. These figures, though little as compared With those ot 1899, are yet quite respectable. They were vastly greater than other nations of that time could show. Indeed they are greater than any nation cali even now show for foreign possessions. In 1899 the British empire contains over 12 mil- lions of square miles and 40 millions of population, of whom 5 millions are white people, that is 10 millions ill the mother country, and 15 millions in ths colonies, while the remainder are ot eolored races. Thes represents about nearly one-third of the habitabie globe and shows an amazing expaEsion witl.- sa tEe aunG?ed years.

NEw CRIMES IN THE CALENDAR
Mans Lawless Ingenuity Is Giving tue
 Courts Added Trouble.

Under the laws Of the land as they exist at present the theft of a la7p is larceny; 1t may be q Itoman lamp or Greek lamp, an oil lamp or an electric lamp. Whether it constitutes grand 3 larceny or petit larceny will in certain states oe the union depend not upon its age or newness, but upon it's mar Ket value. On the other hand there are a great number of modern crimes which could not have been committed n ancient days because the instra- ments for their perpetration did not exist They are the outcome of mod. ern civilization and they require new legislation, The tapping of a tele' graph wire is modern form of high way robbery. Tn the old days the method was to waylay the courier on the roaG and to rob him of his purse or of his message The formula of the modern highwayman is not Stand and deliver" but simply "DeIiver.' AAc he may get a message from the light ming courier which may be wortA mora to him than Well-filled purse. But there is nothing to be gained by lndls- criminate tapping. It is some special message or information that the thief is looking for, possibly for it's effect on the stock market or on other busi- ness ventures, but the use of cipheT codes renders the tapping of telegraph wires of little avail even in time Of war, unless the code as well as the message has been stolen. For the tap- ping of power or light lines the mod ern highwayman comes in out of ths rain. He can do his business better indoors by Attacking the electric me- ter, confusing it3 calculations and thus getting more current thap he pays for. Such at least seems to Aa the in2liea- tiou of recent statutes

 1t Is given to few people to under stand the workings Of the child nina, and it is only by the exercise of pa, tience and the utmost sincerity that one can get to know the ideas and de- sires that are formed in the ever busy little brains. A pretty story was once told by Sir Edwin Arnold of three children of his acquaintance, whom he asked at their bed time. when about to say their prayers. If they would pray for what they wanted most After the two eldest aad made their requests, the youngest little girl, knelt down and. putting her hands together, said: Dear God, love me when I am naugh. fy. like mamma"

4 Scl.erae Taat Fail1>f.

A Danish scheme of state and com munal Gratulties, or pension, to desti- tute males who have passed their six tieth year, and who have led reputable lives, has net resulted in the good aD- ticipated by it's advocates and promo ters. On the contrary, it's workings have been demoralizing. The poor, so called, refuse to make, or even strive to make. provision for old age while 1t is in their power to do so, on the ground that support from pensions will come without effort. Children in fourishing circumstances refuse to as- sist their needy parents, money in sav- ings banks has been withdrawn and squandered and benefit associations to which employers have contributed have lapsed into bankruptcy. The scheme, in fact, has become a positive premium upon destitution, an incen- tive to improvidepee and fee to man ly rectjfude and self-Yespect

verted and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church in 1868, and has con-

his labors and sacrifices for church,

the results of which cannot be com.
puted until the great day of final
accounts. Then it will be said to him
"Well done, good and faithful servant,
enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"
