In the Right Room.

At the latest of the ladies' clubs a "pets' room" with little stalls for dogs and cats, lemurs and lizards, all the small creatures that lady finds neces- sary as companions. is provided.
 One of the most enthusiastic members was showing her friends of her OWE sex over the establishment, and opened the door of the pets room with proper pride.
 There, in the center of the room, on two chairs, sat two immediately clothed young men, grave of face, but with wicked twinkle in their eyes.
 Don't you know this is the ladies' pets room?" asked the enthusiastic member, with some acerbity.
 That's why we are here," replied the more serious of the two young men, with becoming gravity Times.

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An. nexed Ground Far Into Adja-
 cent Farm Lands.

According to a recently issued census bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al- ways indicated by the order in which they stand in the tables of population. Some great centers haveA considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos- ton is a good example; about 1,200,000 people live in sight of the state house dome, and less than 600, 900 of them are governed by the Boston mayor. Other cities have annexed far into the farm lands of the adjacent country, says Youths Companion.
 It is customary to speak of the popula- tion of a state, "in proportion to it's size" Such comparison is seldom made of cities, although it might not be uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example, has population of a third of a million on 1S,000 acres of ground; New York's population, little more than ten times as great, spreads over nearly 12 times as many acres.
 nexation habit, but since 1890 New York has annexed much more territory than Chicagos total area New Orleans has a slightly larger area than Chicago. Each of them covers six times the area of Baltimore.
 Washington, which occupies the Mary land part of the ten miles square set aside for a national capital, is fair sized city as area goes, for this genera tion. It may seem small a century hence, although it looked abundantly ample for all the purposes of urban development when laid out.
 In the case of cities, as we'll as of other corporations, consolidation is plainly one of the tendencies of the times More than one-third of those in the United States have added to their territory by annexation since 1890 Townships and counties are occasionally subdivided, by reason of local interests, but the cities seem to be steadily pushing their boun- daries outward. There are some eco- homie reasons for this but the reason fin many cases has been the desire of their inhabitants to make "good show ing"

AN OXEN CAVALRY CORPS.
Natives Queerly Mounted for Police Duty on the Island of
 Madagascar.

The oldest cavalry in the world is maintained on the west coast of Mad asascar by Governor General J. G. Gal lieni. While the French troops in that country are ample to meet the occa- sional revolutionists, the governor gen. eral makes use of native talent for po- lice work in out-of-the-way localities, says the New York Herald.
 On the west coast of Africa is a tribe of natives. possibly radically connected with the Hovas, who are known as the Sakalova, the most war like tribe of the country. The natives. in imitation of French troopers, or ganized an oxen cavalry corps, under command of French officer They are armed with modern long-handled lances, or spears, and side arms. Their uniform is khaki, with skull caps. They ride barefooted, without stirrups, sitting on their equipment, cinched like saddle, with cords made of the native fiber plant, and a sort of bridle of the cord, passing through the nose of the beast.
 The oxen are neither slow or scared. and it is assumed would create havoc with their horns among horse cavalry

Seven and Thirteen Are Fixed Upon in the Minds of the Greater
 Number of Men.

"Ask a man to pick out some num- Der between one and ten, and you car tell him nine times out of ten what number he has selected, though his se- lection is made mentally" said man who, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, is fond of the old things, land when you come to think of it, the task of naming the correct number is not a difficult one. In the course of. an hour the other day asked ten men to think of a certain number-any number between one and ten-and l would tell them what num- Der they had fixed their mind on In nine cases out of ten 1 was correct, missing it only once. The minds of nine of the persons selected the num- Der seven, and one of them selected nine. It is not difficult to understand why the mind should run to the num- Der seven. Even in the case of the man who fixed his mind on the num- Der nine, he told me when it was all over that his mind had first run to seven, but he quickly changed to nine WlIuOuC huOWluS JuSL Wuy IL Wdo IAoe he changed. Seven is the most prom inent figure between one and ten. It is the most popular number in the line, and is associated with more things than any other number, and it is quite reasonable that the mind should light on seven. I made another test the other day with five persons, asking each of them to write some number between one and ten, and give it to sixth per son. When the slips had been handed to the sixth man I said: Seven is the number on each of the slips
 "'Correct," said the man to whom they had been handed, and the five men were a bit bewildered for the moment by. the fact that they had all hit upon the same number, and that was able to tell what the number was It. would be quite as easy to name a number between 10 and 20, though have made no tests along this line. I dare say that 13 would be the first number to flash in the mind, simply because it is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 20 that has the widest association. So you can tell there is no trick about it, and it doesn't require any knowledge of the occult philosophies."
