Italy Growing Fast.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Italy is almost the only Latin country IN
Europe which shows a steady growth of
population. France has for years been on
the decline, but latest statistics show 1t is
nearly stationary, the death and birth rates
being nearly equal. The returns of the re-
cent census in Italy are now published and
they show a gratifying though not extraor-
binary growth Of population in the PENN
sula, despite the large emigration and the
hard times which have prevailed there in
late years. In round numbers the popula-
ton of Italy is now 81, 800 900 That is an
increase of more than 1900 600 in the last
but it is, on the whole, satisfactory. 1t Is
not. Of course, the whole increase of the
Italian race. In these twenty years more
than 100000 Italians have emigrated to
other lands. The actual growth of the race
has, therefore, been more than 5000, 900 in
twenty years, or more than / per cent a
year.
This does not, however, confirm the COM
mon idea that the Italians are an exception
ally prolific race The growth Of other ma
tons has been proportionately more rapid
That of France has not been. That of Rus
si2s has been effected by conquest and whole
sale annexation. That of the United States
has been due to enormous immigration as
well as to high birth rate. But while Italy
In the nineteenth century increased from
100000 to 32,5OO,OOO, or only a little more
than doubled, Great Britain grew from 16.-
100000 to 100000 and Germany from "a
100000 to 56,OOO,OO and each of these coun-
tres suffered as great a loss from wars as
Italy and a considerably greater loss
Though emigration.

Winter Buds in Springtime.

From Meehan's Monthly.
1t will be found intensely interesting to
study the nature of the winter buds of va
riOus trees they prepare to unfold in
the spring. They should be taken under OBJ
servation just before they actually open,
when they are being excited by the warmth
of the season. Most large. scaly buds will
reveal their complete history for the COM
ing season as relates the growth. They
will be found to contain miniatures Of
leaves and stems-in some cases the flowers
too. The scales of leaf coverings also have
interest for the observer in their varying
forms. The horse chestnut has coating
OF a sticky substance, as though to keep
out the elements. Others will have velvety
coverings like cloaks to keep them warm
and dry. Some buds will cover flowers
only, and these may be made to introduce
spring by their being cut on branches,
placed in water and stood in a warm, sunny
window.

The Bump of Locality.
From the Baltimore News.


Why is 1t that a womans bump of local
lty is so much more feebly developed than
mans? Put man down on a country road
and the probabilities are that he will find
his way wherever he wishes to go without
having to ask at nearby farm houses for
directions Instinct seems to guide him.
Put a woman in the same position and she
Will irretrie-ably lose herself in ten min
utes and have to be sought for by resolute
men for hours before she is finally brought
back to civilization
Perhaps 1t is that the weaker sex Is I'M
observant. Even in cities many of its mem
bers do not notice buildings closely enough
to permit them to find their way about,
and certainly they would not notice in the
country the big gum tree that they pass
here nor the haw bush that marks the in
tersection Of two roads there. With the
sun low in the west there are numbers of
women who can't tell the points Of the COM
pass, and II they could would not know in
which direction their homes lay. When II
comes to noting the details of costume
few feminines fail to observe even the
tintest bit Of braid or the smallest bow. but
trees and houses are different and less In
teresting things and SO in a strange town
or in the woods the fair travellers lose
themselves IN no time, and have to be res
cued and set again upon the path by some
one with a better sense of location than
they can boast.

VIRTUES OF A LIGHT LUNCH.
American Acuteness Due in Part to
Midday Lunch.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
great many people feel they have done
their whole duty by sound hygiene when
they denounce the "quick lunch of the
American business world the sum Of all
gastronomic iniquities. But in so far as the
quick lunch is a light lunch, and it usually
Is this, It may be a blessing in disguise. In
fact, an observing foreigner lays much of
the acuteness and business energy of Amer
leans to the fact that for the most part the
American business and professional man
eats lightly, even If hurredy, and drinks
but little at the mid meal. Hence, his mind
IS clear, he is not sluggish and he is able
to do good deal between i o'clock and g.
As contrast, the foreign observer men
tons the heavy midday eating habits of
certain European countries, notably Ger
many, and to that he attributes the leth-
argy that is calling for all the highest ef-
forts of the best minds TO counterfeit. In
this he is in harmony with an American
specialist, who. in decrying a heavy mid
day meal, said that The plan of eating a
heavy meal at noon and returning to work
almost directly from the dinner table ex-
plains the prevalence of dyspepsia in cOun-

icism those who have blamed our national
dyspepsia on the busy mans bite had
better look little further into the matter.

dietetic specialists tell us. but it looks If

meal and the evening meal the most sub

business world has had any effect in this
direction it is not the unmixed evil some
declare il to be.

Strange Diseases.


Lombardy is the one place where pellagra
is always prevalent-that mysterious mod
ern ailment, due to eating damaged maize,
which since 1888. when 1t was first noticed,
is computed to have been responsible for
the death Of more than 10000 peasants.
Mandalay ringworm, again. is known and
dreaded throughout Burmah, but even the
most ignorant Burmese is aware that It
cannot be contracted outside the ancient
capital. Similarly, rock fever is con-
fined to Gibraltar, although II is probable
that the ailment known as Maltese fever,
which can be contracted only in Malta, and
there only in the spring and autumn, is
closely allied to II. Aleppo evil, too. is un-
known In any of the other cities OF Asia
Minor; just as the Delhi boil SO dreaded OF
our soldiery, Is confined to Delhi.
