POPLARyILLE MISSISSIPPI THURSDAY. MAY Is, 1902.

According to a recent statement Of
the director of the census regarding
the growth of urban population north
and south, the large cities, taken col
lectively, are growing nearly twice as
fast as the rest of the country; the
percentage of the population of north.
ern states living in large cities is
nearly three times as great as the cor.
responding percentage in the south f;
the north has a rate of increase nc
greater than that of the south. The
large cities IN the north are growing
much faster than those of the same size
in the south, but this difference is
balanced by an extremely rapid
growth of small towns and cities in
the south and especially by the high
rate of increase of southern rural pop.

PYTHON THAT
SWALLOWED A WHOLE HOG.

Some men in the Island Of Java, the
beautiful possession of the New Meth
erlands in Asiatic waters, recently got
the opportunity TO take a most unus-
ual photograph. 1t made the first
picture of its kind ever to be obtain
ed. 1t was that of a monstrous py-
thon, which had just swallowed an en-
tire wild hog alive.
The python was almost eighteen feet
long and as large around the middle
as a man. 1t had been lying in the
shelter of a thicket of small palms and
jungle grass, when the wild hog trot-
ted unsuspectingly out. Like light
ming the snakes long head struck
downwards with a hammer-like blow.
knocking the surprised porker off It's
feet. Before the animal could rise,
the great snake had hurled its body
over him, and by the time the pig be-
gan to squeal the python had thrown
three coils around the victim and
cracked his ribs with such force that
natives some distance away heard the
pistol-lilxe reports as the bones broke.
Then the big snake-which is not
pcisonous-began to cover the bristly
hog with saliva until the body was
slippery enough to take into the gull
let. Down 1t slipped, slowly, but
steadily, till it lay in the stomach. 1t
distended the big snake so enormously
that 1t looked as If the serpent surely
would burst. The spectators could
see the outlines of the hog, so closely
did the creature fill the body of the
snake.
The python crawled heavily toward
the woods, but did not succeed in
quite hiding away in the underground
before 1t was overcome by the torpid
ity that assaiIs the big reptiles after
they have swallowed prey. So it fell
heavily across a little path in a clear
ing and there it was photographed by
some Europeans who had been brought
to the spot by native runners. After
taking the strange picture, the men
dispatched the serpent.

THE Ladies of the Maocabees is
one of the largest fraternal in
surance organizations in the
country and sickness and death
among its members call for benefits
to be paid out of the treasury of the
order. The great organization is
entirely in the hands of women who
have so successfully conducted its af-
fairs that among the secret orders
for women the Ladies of the Macca-
bees is regarded as a model. Among
the leaders of this great order is
Mrs. J. M. Powell of Kansas City,
Mo. She is a lady of high intel
ligence and as lieutenant-commander
of the Kansas City lodge has the
welfare of the organization more or
less in her keeping. She says: "In

est to see that members of our So
ciety are in the best possible physi-
cal health. :" Clear judgment prompts
her to recommend Wine of Cardui
