First Census Taken.

The first census of the United States
taken the first Monday in August, 1870,
showed the population of the Is states
then existing and of the unorganiZed
territory, to be, in the aggregate, g.
929, PA. The total area of settlement
at that time was 239, 935 square miles,
as against 1,947,2 $50 100 years later.
The population was distributed al
most entirely on the Atlantic seaboard,
extending from the eastern boundary
line of Maine nearly to Florida, and in
the region known as the Atlantic plain.
Only a very small portion of the inhab-
itants of the United States, not, in
deed, more than 5 per cent, were found
west of the system of the Appalachian
mountains. The densest settlement
was in eastern Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and about New
York City.
From the first United States census
to the 18th, a period of 100 years,
the population of the United
States grew from 3,929.214 to g.
622, ESQ, while the century witnessed
such an immense spread of settlement
that the original 239,935 square miles
of the Union increased to 1,947 ,280, and
an average in density Of BIG to- the
square mile obtained. The unsettled
area within the United States is now
probably less than 10000 square miles.

German Doctor Advocates Hot Bath

German Doctor Advocates Hot Baths.
A German physician advocates in a
German paper the frequent taking of
hot baths. These, he urges, are much
more healthful than the warm bath,
and certainly than the cold plunge,
which he thinks few systems can
stand. The water should be at a tenn
perature in the beginning of 108 de-
grees Fahrenheit, this to be increased
until the water is as hot as car be
borne. The length of the first bath
should not be nor than 1lve minutes,
and at no time should it be longer
than is agreeable with nc ems of dis
comfort apparent. The writer cites in
support of his theory the practice COM
mon in Japan among all classes of its
people of taking these hot baths. The
porter walking along with his load and
fatigued to the point of exhaustion
drops it for 10 minutes while he takes
q hot bath at some public bathhouse.
He emerges refreshed and strength
ened, and goes his way rejoicing. The
writer considers that there is no dan
ger of taking cold after a hot bath,
and does not even advocate the use of
a cold shower to follow the bath. Hot
water is known to be an excellent COS
metic for the face, and it is only fair
to assume that it's revival of skin tis-
sue is not confined to that part OF the
body.

Every Paretic Has His Sign.

quired a prominent Washington physi-
clan of a reporter as they were walk
ing down F street this morning.
We'll, he has got the Sign"
A young man about thirty just ahead
was pointed out by the physician. He
appeared in average normal health,
though slight in form. AS he turned
his head his eyes were deep and sunk
en- and his features drawn and pinched.
Watch him." continued the physi-
clan, land see IL you can detect the
Sign for he is a sufferer from paresis
and all paretics have a sign peculiar
to each individual. Don't you observe
that motion? No! Well, every few
minutes you will see him wiggle nerv-
ously the first three fingers of his right
hand, as the arm is extended at his
side, and then quickly raise the same
hand and tap or rub his right cheek
with a little tattoo with the same fin
gers In the same place on the same
cheek always.
AS FaAJ t1AS llVtiUus anu
he will repeat this one 500 times a day.
He will always do it when he thinks
others are observing him, and. as we
overtake and pass him, you will notice
that he will at one detect my glance
and will repeat the sign again spas
medically.
Every paretic has a sign different
from every other victim of this pecu-
liar and usually fatal disease. With
some it will be the mumbiing in an un-
dertone or aloud Of a certain word Or
phrase. Others will have a motion
such as rubbing In ear. touching or
tapping the face in one way or in one
particular spot. Some will draw the
muscles of the face in an odd and dis.
tinguishable manner, while I knew of

shall not have been completed the idea
of marriage is to be forever ADAM
doned. 1t is provided that the woman
is to contribute $40 a week and the

than those Of the woman during the

DANGER TO BRITISH TRADE.
ord RosebeFy Calls Attention to Our
Formidable Competition.

Formidable COmpet1tiOns
At a meeting of the Wolverhampton
Chamber of Commerce ex-Prime Min.
lister Rosebery made a speech in which
| he dealt in O most serious strain with
| the industrial and commercial competi-
ton by which Great Britain Is faced.
He declared that the future is dark
and gloomy. It is difficulty, even TN
wise, to try to p~rophesy what it may
have in store.
He was not alarmed, he said, by the
constant piling up of immense and
costly ornaments by Europe. They
rather tended toward peace than other
wise. The war he feared was not mill
tary. It was that great war Of trade
that was inevitably coming, and
which, SO far as he could see, would
be one of the greatest and most seri-
GUS with which Gerat Britain ever had
to cope.
While not putting other nations out
of the category, it vas from the Uni
ted States and Germany that the Brit.
ish had the most to fear. America,
with its almost incalculable resources
and the acutenesS and enterprising
spirit of it's people, was the most for
midable Of all competitors. The Ger
mans, although somewhat slow and
unwieldly, were scarcely inferior riv-
ais owing to their silent and persistent
methods and uncohquerable spirit.
Lord Rosebery said one striking fea.
lure Of the American competition was
that the great individual fortunes be-
ing made in the United States were not
employed, as they probably would be
in England, to enable their makers to
retire and enjoy social and other pleas
ures, but were invested in great trusts
and syndicates for concentrating at
tacks on British trade. The millions
so invested could be welded as engines
Of warfare in such irresistible form
as to constitute a danger which the
British could not afford to ignore. If
one or two of the trusts combined for
the purpose Of competing with any
branch Of British trade by underselling
they might obtain such a monopoly in
that branch as to almost drive Great
Britain out of the market.
After a further reference to Ger
many Lord Rosebery asked what
Great Britain was going to do to avoid
defeat. He, as a layman, hesitated to
attempt to answer, but If he did at
tempt to reply he would say that thu
remedy lay in education. He believed
that the British people were the best
raw material in the world, but he was
convinced that their commercial men
required to be educated and trained
scientifically from bottom to top. Their
training now was both insufficient AMI
too insular. For instance, they did not
send their young men abroad as others
did to learn methods of business and
manufacture. He suggested that the
Chambers of Commerce consider the
question of devoting a certain sum
annually for travelling scholarships,
which, he was inclined to believe.
would yield fruit a hundredfold.
An official report shows that the i'm
ports of unwrought steel into the Unit
ted Kingdom in 1900 amounted to 17O.-
600 tons against 1900 tons in 1890.
The increase was mainly from the
United States, which sent ISL, 900 tons.
The large imports are attributed to
the high price Of coal in Great Britain.

total value of American mules ex-
ported to foreign countries was $516,
300. In the fiscal year of 1900 it was
3,919,0 900, and as the American mule
becomes better known he gets to be
more in demand, and a larger foreign
trade in American mules seems to be
already foreshadowed.
