Braddock Republican, Aug. 1st:
While Mrs. j. G. Brown and sister,
Mrs. Hunt, Of Bismarck, were driving
last Monday they had mix.up with
their horse that might easily have re-
suited in the death of Mrs. Brown;
and, had not the family mare been a
gentle one, our postmaster would
doubtless now be wearing the weeds.
Mrs. Hunt got out of the cart, and
Mrs. Brown, before doing so, laid the
lines across the thills, and, in getting
out, caught her foot in the loop of the
lines and fell. This caused the horse
to back up until the lady was under
the cart and almost under the ami
mails feet. In order to keep from be-
ing stepped on Mrs. Brown grasped
the animals hind legs, which caused
the faithful beast to stand still until
the lady freed herself from the lines.
The escape from being trampled un-
der foot was so narrow that the lady's
hat hrim was broken by the animals
feet, and Mrs. Brown also has a
slightly bruised hand.

A School Letter Erchnncc.

Professor Metcalf, Supervisor of the
Boston schools, has introduced plan
for getting young pupils interested in
geography, which consists in getting
children in the North to correspond
with others in the South, and children
in the East to exchange with others in
the West. The children are encour-
aged to tell about the products, etc,
of their own locality, and this being a
subject they are familiar with, they
can write Interestingly. The letters are
passed round and exchanged and the
benefits of the system are multiplied;
the writing of the letters itself being
splendid exercise. while the reading Of
those received from other schools slim
ulates interest in the regular lessons.
The system is one which can be widely
applied. of course.-The Pathfnde-.

GERMANS ON THE INCREASE.
Census Returns show Population of EN-

census Returns show Population of En-
pIro TO BE 56,OOO.OOo.
The United States census office has
received through the state department
consular report on the population OF
the German empire and its changes
during the last century. The popu-
lation is now about 56,OO0.OOO, larger
than that of any other country in
Europe except Russia, which has in
Europe alone over 100000, 600 subjects.
or nearly twice as many as Germany.
In 1889 the whole German empire had
q population OF about 260OOO 900 an at
the close OF the Napoleonic wars in
1915 Germany. though somewhat re-
duced in size. had q population of
something more than 30,0O(,000. In
1S45. since which date the area has
remained almost constant, Germany
had 34,000.000; in 1865. 40, 900. 900; IN
1855. 47000000 and in 1900, about So
100000, an increase during the century
OF about 30,000,0OO. Since 1871. when
the modern German empire was or
ganized, the population OF Germany
has increased about 80 per cent. a
growth extremely rapid for an old
country and for one sending out large
and steady streams OF emigrants. The
Germans felt a natural pride IN the
rapid growth OF their population. says
the report. compared with that OF their
rival across the Rhine. In 1S45 France
had about $4,000 900 inhabitants and
Germany $4,000 900 Now France has
about 3s.000,0OO. or only two-thirds
the number in Germany. The provis-
ional results OF the census of Vienna,
taken December 81, 1900 have just
been announced, and according to a
report from the consul general at vi
emma showed a population of 1885,

London, Paris and Berlin among the
European capitals, while In this coun-
try only New York and Chicago are

whole United States. Few large cities

To Make Bicycle Theft Grand Larceny

simply petit larceny, the punishment
for which does not seem to tit the
crime of stealing an article which is
