THE LORD MAYORS KINGDOM.
Square Mile in the Whole
World.

The city is not to be "]censused'' by
day, after all. 1t is a pity; it would
have been interesting to see how the
lord mayors little kingdom of one
square mile has grown these last ten
years. There is not a square mile in
all England SO interesting as this. No
other area of the size teens with such
busy life. By day it is the busiest
square mile in the world; by night it
is one of the quietest. There can
hardly be 10000 people in the city by
night; by day there are over 800, 1000.
While the night population has been
surely going down, the day population
has been rising year by year. Twenty
years ago the day population was five
times that of night; to-day the proper
ton is quite ten to one, says the Lon
don Times.
The exact day population of the
city in 1891, when the last day census
was taken, was sol, 1884, and of these no
fewer than 1880 were employers. Is
there anywhere else in the world so
much capital confined in so small a
space? Over 200, 1000 of the workers in
the city were males, $4,000 were fe-
males, and nearly 10000 were boys and
girls under IS.
The last census showed that there
was only one pawnbroKer for this pop
~ulation of over 100000. There was, too.
but one dealer in clothes, and only
n perfumer, which suggests that
there is not SO much vanity in the city
as some of us have supposed. 1t is
not surprising, perhaps, to find only
one manufacturer of fishing tackle,
but it is hardly credible than ten
years ago there vas only one type
writing office in the city, and only one
maker of needles and pins.
The great rush to the city begins,
of course, after eight o'clock in the
morning. The city crowd is growing
all through the small hours. In the
first hour after midnight on May 4,
1891, 2,69s persons entered the lord
mayors kingdom, and up to five
o'clock in the morning, the number
was roughly $4,000. 1t is surprising t
know that between 5000 and 1000 peo-
pie begin work in the city between
four and five o'clock in the morning.
AT six a. M, the ordinary population
of the city, judging by the last day
census, is about $4,000; at nine o'clock
if you could count the people in the
streets, they would number 100000.
BY ten o'clock more than 100, 900 more
are added to the number, and it is esti-
mated that at lunch time nearly 7OO,O 900
people have crossed the city bounds.
Six hours later, by eight o'clock in the
evening, the people in the city have
reached a round million. Every "a
hours, it is calculated, 1900, 900 people
enter the city area.

BORN IN emo MANS LAND"
A Man Without u Country Makes M
Informal Call on the Senate
In Washington.

The doorkeepers of the United States
senate come in contact with all sorts
and conditions of men. When the sem
ate is in session, says a local exchange,
there is an incessant demand by con
s%tituents to have their cards sem in.
A strange looking individual who had
been watching and listening in the east
corridor said to a doorkeeper one day
lately:
''Td like to have you send in my
card"
(Which senator do you wish to seae?"
81 don't care"
"But you must send it to a particu-
lar senator, you know. Which is your
state?"
"Got none"
(Which territory"
mo territory"
Where were you born?"
"In No Mans Land, before the strip
was coded to the government by Texas.
It's now a county in Oklahoma. And
l thought as l had no country, I'd come
to Washington. You can keep the card
and hand it to the first senator you
ketch. l think most any of 'em would
like to meet a man like me-"

complisned, the history of the crime is
practically completed. Detection of
crime is an exact science. Here, as in
all other sciences, the imagination
has an important part to play, but that
part consists in coordinating and in
terpreting facts. The solid foundation
of facts must invariably come first"

A New Use for Wine

Viticulturists in France have inst
tried experiments in feeding draught
animals with bran mixed with wines,
which seem to be successful. 1t APP
pears hat poor wine can be used to
replace oats as food, weight for
weight pound of wine for a pound
of oats. AT least half of the usual
feed of grain can be replaced in this
manner without disadvantage to the
animals. Barley, beans, bran and the
like, mixed with wine, can be substi-
tuted for oats entirely, if desired, it
is said. In years of abundant vintage
a material saving car be effected in
this way.-N. Y. Sun.
