Guiding therein Brooklyn and the bor-
oughs Of Bronx. Richmond and
Queens, increased from 316.22O to
1,587,0O0. In London the increase in
the thirty years was at the rate of
435 per cent; in New York, at the
rate of 339 per cent If we add Jer-
sey City, HohoEen and other places
in New Jersey as Cutgrowths of New
York, the comparison is still in favor
of London. Nor can New York show
such mushroom suburbs as West
Ham grown from 18,807 in 1851 to
268,000 in 1901; or Walthamstow,
from little more than a village, with
1000 inhabitants in 1861, now a great
town of 10000 people; or East Ham,
which, from a few houses on the
marshes in 1861 is now a community
of 100000 people-an increase of
nearly 5000 per cent. in forty years.
The percentage of increase in New
York suburbs is only about 500 per
cent. in forty years, with the excep-
ton of Bronx, which has increased
2400 per cent. in fifty years.
The Rivalry of Chicago.
London has more elements of per
manent greatness than New York. 1t
has no competitors. It is New York,
Boston and Washington in one. Chi
cago will be a very serious competitor
to New York. 1t is city which, like
London, has grown by natural expan-
sion. 1t is the natural centre of the
North American continent AS the
northwest develops so will Chicago
grow. If it succeeds in shifting the
financial capital from New York, and
becomes more of a literary and pub
fishing centre, it will be the American
metropolis of the future.
There is no indication that the
phenomenal growth of Londons sub
urbs will be arrested. The develop
ment of rapid transit-the revolution
brought by electric railways, tram
ways and motor cars-will extend the
area of the mammoth city, but It will
still be London. Already many work
ers in London live twenty miles dis
tant. In a few years they will per-
form the journey of thirty miles in
less time than they now require for
half that distance. The towns in
Herts, Essex, Surrey and Kent will
all be suburbs of London The health
resorts round the coast, within sixty
or eighty miles, will be outposts of
the capital.
BY 1910, without reckoning these
further out growths, the population
of the area which we now know as
greater London will exceed the esti-
mate of the last water commission of
fourteen millions.-Montreal Herald.

WHAT ELECTRICITY WILL DO.

The Institute of Electrical En-
glneers has been in session at Great
Darlington, Mass. Out of specula-
lions on high potential STRESS" 'trac-
ing instruments" and "electrOstatic
Watt meters" have come aspirations
toward heating towns from central sta
lions, cooking meals by means of a
current supplied from a power house,
and running trains across the con-
tinent at an average speed of $50
miles an hour.
Some Of the more conservative cleo
tTicians, however, are a little bit dub
ious about the immediate triumph of
electrical machinery. Performance
has SO often outstripped expectation
in the modern world that in the en-
deavor to catch up expectation some
times loses itself in the next CEN
fury. In the matter of railroads, for
instance, the substitution of electricity
for steam will come, but slowly.
Where there are only a few trains a
day the electric current, which must
be continuously maintained, is an I'M
surmountable expense. 1t is only
where there is a rapid succession of
trains that electric power is economi-
cal. One is quite willing to believe,
however, with President Steinmetz,
that Electricity is still in it's swad-
ding clothes." When it grows up to
maturity it will, no doubt, prove to be
Joseph among the motive forces
which are it's elder brethren.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

THE METHODIST STIGMA.

A good Methodist friend again calls
our attention to what we have said in
past numbers of this paper about call
ing their older bishops "superan-
nuated," and asks what shall we call
them? We answer Gas before) if
necessary to call them anything ex-
ccpt bishops, let it be senior bishops
consulting bishops-advisory bishops
most reverend bishops-anything
but "superannuated."
We never heard of superan-
ruated Episcopal bishop. Bishop Whip
pie of that church has certainly rem
dered some of the best service of his
whole life since he became threescore
and ten.
No church, we suspect, has ever
been managed with greater ability
than the Roman Catholic, many of
whose leaders are long past 70, and it's
head in his 93d year.
We can easily see how a prize fight
er, football fighter, a bull fighter or a
private soldier may become super
animated, but at an age when many
doctors, lawyers, judges and business
men are receiving the largest fees and
profits of their whole lives, it does
not seem to us just right to tell good
bishop that he is "superannuated,' and
ought to have died sooner.-George T.
Angel in Our Dumb Animals.

"But I know, Ianthe. And l can

guess what it is?"

81 will tell you. 1t is that you

LADY WAKE-ME-UP.

I go to bed at night, of course,
And try to get some rest,
And spend the hours in sleep and
dreams
Within that coy nest.
But when the morning comes at last
And | return, oh, then
What is it comes to me and bids
Me come to life again?
There's no one standing at my side,
There's no one in the room,
No rustling skirt goes out the door,
I catch no waving plume.
l call her Lady Wake-Me-Up,
This gentle friend of mine;
Invisible and noiseless, she
Who comes when days are fine.
Who drags me from my soundest
sleep
And folds my eyelids up,
And bids me rise and dress and go
And find my breakfast cup.
0 smiling, noiseless lady mine,
Some morning I shall wake
Before you've climbed the early stairs,
Before the dawn shall break;
And shall catch you at the trick,
And see you long before
You've lifted up my little lid
And vanished through the door.
But though I plan it every night,
Each morning it's the same,
My eyes are buttoned fast, and I've
Forgot my friends and name
Until you come and breathe within
My tiny little ear,
In words SO low l can't recall
"A single one hear
Gentle Lady Wake-Me-Up,
IT it were not for you
I might be sleeping yet-who knows?
And that would never do.

CHAPTER XII.

A year and more had passed since
the squire and Lady Ianthe had re-
turned home Everything had fallen
into it's usual routine, SO that it seemed
difficult to imagine that any dark
trouble had loomed over the Abbey.
The only perceptible difference was
the presence of the squire and the
great increase in luxury. By this
time the whole county had some
knowledge Of the terms on which the
squire and Lady Ianthe lived. The
general decision was that Lady Ianthe
had married for money, and the squire
for the sake of the aristocratic union.
When the squire and his wife went
up to London for the season, Lady
Ianthe reigned there-the leading belle
OF the day. Their house was the
most popular in the great city; they
were the leaders almost everywhere.

LET JUNEAU COME.

The suggestion that Skagway get up Fourth uf July oelebratiOn. that Juneau and the adjoining titles Of Douglas and Trsldwsll might get up an excursion to this el,y, comes from the Gas,sniuS chan nsl cities. Risa a suggestion that should not be overlooked. Ssagway has done much for Juneau In the pas, and the fact Is appreciated by that city and there seems to be a desire to recIPrOca,e. The desire should be encouraged not only for sake of Skagwav but for ;ha, of the whole of Alaska.
 At this time when Alaska Is striving for relief from burden of taxation an for proper recognition as on American com munltv everything that wIll make fot 3 soldi6cltion of our people, for a better understanding Of one another, should be done. Particularly does this apply Co Skagwav and Juneau. These cities are the largest ln Alaska and li they will move together thsy can do much for their own advancement and that of their dis trIet. Thsy should understand each other better than they have In the past. SHag- way has ao ambitions that will clash with those Of Juneau. We have already helped that city to secure the capital of the dis trc, and stand ready to lssis, It to more things. ln return Skagway wants Junsau Influence to assist ln securing for skagway that portion Of the interior trade to which her geogr8phlcal position entities her.
 There Is no good reason why Juneau and Slsgway should no, work together In harmony Let Slagwav invite Juneau here Co celebrate lndipendsnos Day and gel acquainted

Not all parrot stories are pretty, but
here is the prettiest that ever was
told-and fact, too, says the Boston
Transcript. Caddie is the one of all
the family with whom the parrot real
ly cares to talk, and to her his conf
dences and his criticisms of the va
rious members of the household are
ever ready and voluminous. Silence,
long unbroken, had fallen for days on
his corner, and, to tell the truth, was
not unwelcome, altogether, considering
the satirical rogue's sneering laughter
when out of sorts as he was during
Caddie's absence, or when for any rea-
son a prey to gloomy views of life and
its mysteries. At last one day Cad
die got back to within telephone range
of home, and called up the bird after
talking with the rest of the family
The moment he heard her gay and IA
miliar hail the parrot was almost be-
side himself, f1uttering about and rap
idly retailing his whole stock of obser-
vations, calls, shrieks, whistles, and
nicknames; all the while he eyed the
telephone with that cold air of suspi-
cion and contempt mixed with curios-
ity peculiar to the oblique glance of
the creature, and then proceeded, fol-
lowed by the family at a careful dis
lance o%the sly, to rubber through
the various rooms, up stairs and down,
in search of the real presence of Cad
