FRANCE LEFT FAR BEHIND.
Great Increase in Population of the
German Empire.

Great Increase in Population of the
German Empire.
After Russia Germany is the richest
country in children. For every 10000
inhabitants there are 1863 living births
year, as against only 226 in France.
Hence the increase of population in
Germany is correspondingly great. In
the course of the nineteenth century
the population within the present ter
ritory of the empire has much more
than doubled in spite of the consider
able numbers of Germans who have
emigrated during this time. In 1916
there were 24,400,000 souls in the ter
ritory of the present empire, while in
1900 there were 56,300,000, which cor
responds to a yearly average increase
or one per cent, while more than
100000 Germans have emigrated
from their homes during the nine
teenth century. In order to measure
the meaning of these figures we must
compare them with those OF a coun-
try like France, which is practically
stationary in its population. In the
middle of the century there were as
many people in France as in Germany.
In 1S45 there were in Germany 34,40O,-
600, in France 34,50O,000, while in
1920 France had nearly 100000 more
than Germany. To-day the French
population has risen only to $500 900
and is therefore more than 10000, 900
behind Germany.-Yale Review.

The Collector and His Mania.

Collecting is a sort of cumulative
passion. 1t starts with a taste fov
quality, it develops into greed for
quantity. Once the collector discovers
he is the possessor of an article of
which there are few or no other cop
les, he is lost. Thereafter he has only
one concern-to seize upon more rari.
ties. 1t would be all very well if the
mania pertained to what may truly be
called treasures, but too often these
things have value only because other
collectors have them. That he may
have an example of the ceramics Of
every dynasty of China is more to the
collector than that he has beautiful
specimens of one.-Cleveland Leader.

LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE.
Probability That Many other WorId'
Are Inhabited.

The fact that, so far as we have ya
been able to learn, only small pro-
portion of the visible worlds scattered
through space are fitted to be the
abode of life does not preclude the
probability that among hundreds Of
millions Of such worlds vast number
are so fitted. Such being the case, all
the analogies of nature lead us to be
lieve that, whatever the process which
led to life upon this earth-whether q
special act of creative power or a
gradual course of development -
through that same process does life
begin in every part of the universe
fitted to sustain it. The course of de
velopment involves gradual improve
ment in living forms, which by irregu-
lar steps rise higher and higher in the
scale of being. We have every reason
to believe that this is the case wher-
ever life exists. 1t is, therefore, per.
ings, not only animated, but endowed
with reason, inhabit countless worlds
in space. 1t would, indeed, be inspir-
ing could we learn by actual observa.
ton what forms of society exist
throughout space, and see the mem
bers of such societies enjoying them
selves by their warm fresides. But
this is, so far as we can now see, en-
tirely beyond the possible reach of our
race, so long as it is confined to a
single world.-Harper's Magazine.

1amaano Said to BE DYING.

Tamagno, the great Italian tenor,
who is announced as dying at Milan,
was noted for his penuriousness while
travelling with opera companies, and
stories of this characteristic are still
told of him in America. But after he
retired from the stage he built for
himself in Varesco villa which for
artistic beauty has few equals any.

ly appointed theater, where famous
singers delighted to appear with their
generous host. Royalty itself accept

In those days Tamagno was princely
in his expenditures. He gave the villa
to his only daughter as wedding
present.

HOPE OF THE NATION.

Farmer Boy to Be Great Directing
Force, Says Exchange.
The farmer boy is the hope of this
nation. He is in a position to make a
man of himself and a great directing
force Of the nation. He asks no man
for employment If he Is the fortunate
owner of little farm. His vote and
his voice should show how glorious it
is to be endued with the spirit of a
true patriot. One may as well try to
buy the soul of an educated southern
farmer boy as to buy his vote, says an
exchange. The white boys of the
south, chiefly of Anglo-Saxon lineage,
are of the best strains known to the
worlds history. The Cavalier, the
Scotch-Irish, the Huguenot, with a
small admixture of the Pennsylvania
Dutch, form the basis of the whole
population. Add to this the fact that
they have inherited a masters temper
and courage from their ancestors, and
1t will be seen that the elements of
manhood form the very wool and warp
of their fibre. All they need is indus
trial training to lead the world in ag-
riculture, commerce, mining, manu-
featuring and transportation Palatka

LESSON TAUGHT BY WAR.
Japan's Triumph Contains Much Food
for Thouqht.

for Thought.
The triumph of Japan is taken in
various ways by a complicated uni
verse. We prefer to observe it in the
first place for what it teaches of value
to ourselves. The American bill for
alcoholic drinks during single year
is estimated in dollars alone at a bill
lion and quarter. What it is in con-
sequences who shall estimate? Japan
drinks with the moderation which she
exhibits in every phase of life. Her
people so far care less for show, for
personal conspicuousness than they do
for ends of general worth. The Jap
anese were worried for months by the
fewness of their battleships, but in the
end they won, not by numbers, but by
morality-by sobriety, devotion, cour-
age and intelligence. They did not
win by talk and buster either. They
have shown, in peace and war, a calm
fair mindedness, predominating
taste, hostility to mere noise and
thunder, an ability to be quiet and
mind their business, whether that
business be art, domestic labor or
deadly war. To be sure of the quality
of our sailors, the disinterestedness of
promotions, the honesty of contracts,
the subordination of personal gain
and ambition-all this is more i'm
portant than the tonnage of our fleet.
1t is not so much the number of tor
pedo boats or battleships as it is the
way they will be managed in emer-
gency.-Collier's Weekly.

SHOULD WAR BE HUMANE?
Pertinent Consideration as to Size
and Deadlness of Bullets.


Is the military bullet too small
Japan uses German-silver or steel
jacketed bullet of less than .25 cali
Der. 1t Is long, built for speed, wide
range and fiat trajectory. Our army
uses a bullet slightly larger. They
are called humane" because the
wounds they make are small, almost
always antiseptic and heal quickly
But they have not the stopping pow
er of the larger balls and many ex-
perts believe that they tend to pro-
long wars, by lowering the death.rate
and permitting men to engage again
in fighting soon after being wounded.
Is a long war preferable to short,
bloody one? Has the temperance Of
MISUNDERSTANDING, due to the reduced
killing power of the bullet, made war
more humane? And finally, can war
ever be humane?-"With the Process

is a rule of our faith that by the sons

FEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS

Pink Pills.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner
Vous fever. During the course Of the
fever the nerves are always profoundly
disturbed, and when it is over they are
left so sensitive that the patient has to
be guarded against all excitement. In the
tonic treatment then demanded, regard
must be paid not only to building up flesh
but also to strengthening the nerves. A
remedy that will do both, make sound
flesh to repair waste and give new vigor
to feeble nerves, is the most convenient
and economical. Such remedy is DIR.
