"Wall Street Stories" by Edwin Lefe-
vre, is the first definite attempt made to
record the life of wall Street in fiction.
OF course, there have been novels and
tales which had the stock exchange as a
prominent element in the plot, but the
aim of Mr.. Lefevre is to make the street
the scene OF all OF his stories, and to find
all his motifs among the forces which
move therein. He deals with tragedy
comedy. and gamblers luck, and most of
his plots are quite new. Some OF the
etorics are character sketches, and in

Swedish Fairy Tales" by Anna Wah-
lenberg. is a book of stories which will
prove charming to most children. They
are five in number, and are genuine Scan
dinavian fairy lore, fun of primitive
strength and imagination. They win re-
mind some people of Hans Andersen, for
they have the same grotesque and fanci-
ful figures. the same tendency to teach a
moral, and the same tenderness of spirit

Perhaps the prettiest and most winsome
of the tales is THE Peasant and the

touched by the pathetic story of the little
Brownie, who was caught and comp,.lled
to work in the house for a strict and
hard master, until released from drudg-

cENrURY's GROWTH.
Remarkable Increase In Population and
In Business.

In Business
The actual increase of population in
the 10 years is about 1925 900. The
rate of increase in the period from 1880
to 1890 averaged about 2h per cent
each year. The rate for the past 10
years has been about Ito per cent
annually. The diminution in the rate
is. in considerable part, due to the
diminished volume of immigration.
The individual effectiveness OF the
American population is SO high that in
respect to material resources and
power, 1t will be conceded by every one
that the United States is well in the
forefront of the nations. The structure
of the British Empire is such that. in
a comparison of population, commerce,
and other statistical data there is no
more reason for adding Australia to
England than for adding Mexico to the
United States. Our population at the
beginning of the 10th century was, in
round figures, 100000 white people,
and 100000 negroes, the total being
6,308. .4S3. Curiously enough, we had
almost exactly the same population at
that time as Ireland, which in 1901
had 6,395, ,456. After gaining very
rapidly for four decades. Ireland since
1S45 has declined steadily. until now
1t has population of about 100000.
The comparison of our national posi-
tion at the beginning and the end Of
the 18th century makes it clear
enough that, from the standpoint of
the world at large, the progress of
the United States has been the most
noteworthy feature of the age. When
France assisted us to gain our inde-
pendence. her population was at least
five or six times as great as ours. Ours
Is now Just twice as great as hers. Ten
years ago our population was about
z5,000, 900 more than that Of the United
Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ire
land: and now it is about 35,O00,00O
more. In 1910, unless normal condi-
tions are much disturbed, we shall
have a population of 9O.0O0,00O, while
the British Islands will have about a.
100000. And we shall thus have more
than twice as many people as the moth
er country.-From "The Progress of
the World" in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews.

BELGIAN HARES.
rAn.a.,ph,.'. Poor VIII H.l.. Them

fer Their Flesh.
Pingree's potato patch idea is devel-
oping until. in Philadelphia, families
which have been inclined toward vegs-
tarianism from raising vegetables on
vacant lots are to be started toward q
hesh diet by a distribution Of Belgian
hares. Families which have been sue
cessful as gardeners are to receive q
pair or trio Of hares on credit, and Su-
perintendent r. F. Powell Of the Va
cant Lot association, is ready to begin
the distribution from his rabbitry at
COOS Market street in that city. Last
May Mr.. Powell began raising Belgian
hares, and he has enough Of the ami
mails now to make considerable
stand against the meat trust. He esti-
mates that an industrious Belgian ha-
ress will rear Eve families year Of
eight to twelve members each Trim
mings Of vegetables from the vacant
lot gardens will go far to support hares
to feed these families. Pound for
pound the animals require far less
room than do chickens and ducks, and
Mr.. Powell figures that II the city's
poor will only take kindly to the flavor
of rabbit meat they may have all the
companionship that comes from rails
ing dogs and cats and find the rabbit
business far more profitable.

LARGEST WOODEN SHIP.
It Was Constructed by Hero, King OF
lYfAcuae.

IT was Construct00 Dy Hero, King of
syracuse.
The largest wooden ship ever built
was that constructed by Hero, king
of Syracuse, under the direction of
Archimedes. We are informed that
Ptolemy Philopater had a ship 2S0 Gu
bits long, 3s broad and 4S high. 1t
carried 1000 rowers, 400 sailors and
5000 soldiers. That which the same
prince made to sail on the Nile was 312
feet long, As feet broad, with mast
120 feet high. But that was nothing
compared with Hiero's ship. 1t had
all the variety of apartments peculiar
to palace, banqueting rooms, CALLER
les, gardens. fish ponds, stables, mills,
baths, etc. It was encompassed with
an iron rampant and eight towers, with
walls and bulwarks, furnished with
machines of war, particularly one,
which threw a stone Of 200 pounds on
a dart twelve cubits long, the distance
OF half mile. Though the hold was
extremely deep, one man sufficed to
keep 1t clear of water, by means OF
machine now called the Archimedian
screw. An Athenian poet made an
epigram on this superb vessel, for
which he was well paid. Hero sent
him 5000 bushels of corn as reward.
Hero, finding there was no port OF
Sicily capable of harboring this vessel
in safety. resolved to make present
OF 1t to King Ptolemy, and sent it to
Alexandria.-New York Weekly.

and know thyself," of which two parts
both the one and the other generally
comprehend our whole duty, and con-

do his own work Alright will find that
his first lesson is to know himself;
