there been anything
approaching such mammoth munich
pal organization, and yet in view of
conditions developing along the At

predicting that within from fifty to
seventy-five years the United States

prophecy seems visionary in the ex-
treme yet those making it advance
some very plausible arguments.
They point out, for example, the way
in which the various cities and towns
comprised in the area named above
are yearly growing closer and closer to
one another the villages lying between
them being practically suburbs of the

the way from Boston to Washington.
Today one can ride in trolley cars from

trolley links town with town in like
fashion. Similar conditions prevail in
the country around Philadelphia, Will

All along the route. the prophets ar
que, may be seen ample signs that the
cities are fast eating up what was not
so long ago open country. They cite
the fact that in the railroad journey
from New York to Boston the traveller
beholds little but a vivid panorama of
flying towns. He scarcely loses sight of
the houses and stores of one center be-
fore his eyes are greeted by the houses
and stores of another. The country is
being turned into an almost unbroken
line of mansions, villas, tenements,
shops. factories lampposts and electric
light and trolley wires. The land unoc-
cupied by buildings is not given up to
farms as in the past, but to truck and
flower gardens, small pastures, or
cnarSs and meadows, and even these
are vanishing in the ever greater de-
mand for house lots.

JAPANESE WEDDING GIFTS.

Japanese wedding presents are not
of the practical character favored in
Europe, but are chiefly intended to ex-
press some suitable sentiment. Thus
at recent native wedding the most
prominent gift was a mountain formed
of rolls of white and red floss silk, the
ends of each roll being tied with parti-
colored Irvine in hard knots, emblematic
of the indissolubility of the marriage
tie. The floss silk typified gentle but
enduring constancy, the strength of ita
skeins contrasting with their softness
and fiexibility- Round the base of the

there, while not openly eountenanced
by the state, is winked at and in many
cases indirectly participated in by high

in which such crimes are regarded as

That is Ferdinand's argument, and it
affords an excellent Illustration of the
superficiality of the man. He assumes
that in the events of the merging of
Macedonia into Bulgaria he, being the
ruler of the latter state, would also
necessarily be the king of the greater
country. While most persons in Bull
garia are doubtless willing to admit
that that would probably be the out
come of a coalition following independ-

declare that it would be inevitable. In

independence would undoubtedly be
proclaimed. Naturally too, Macedonia
would have the Turkish yoke lifted
from her already well CALLED shoulders.
But Macedonia is confessedly too weak
to be permitted to become an independ-

making mischief that that implies.
What, then, more likely than that
Macedonia should be made a part of

should insist upon honoring him with

the total population will be rot less

ever, that the rate of increase will be
much higher than in the decade just
cited owing to the increasing attrac-

immigration from Europe is constantly
assuming greater proportions. In view
of this the estimated population of the

Ostcopathy is a dictinct and far reaching

Not a few of the cases coming under
our care were great sufferers for years
and the results have been surprisingly
uniform, many of the cures seeming lit
