THRIFTY IN GIBRALTAR.
Population Resembles That of Hong
Kong in Density and Pros
perity.

When the British took the Rock oil
Gibraltar, 300 years ago, its most In
terestng inhabitants were the scor-
pions, which have furnished the nick.
name for the genuine inhabitants, says
the National Magazine. British liber.
ty and law have since attracted a
population closely suggesting that o:
Hong Kong Ia density and prosperity.
In each case there is not standing
room for all those who wish to crowd
In, and consequently the great bulk o!
would-be British subjects have to find
board and lodging elsewhere. In
Hong-Kong they drip over the edges
into sampans and live ahoat under the
protection Of the harbor police. At
Gibraltar they tramp away each even
ing and return the following morning,
enriching by their earnings Lnea aud
other places in the neighborhood
Gibraltar is officially credited with
q population Of about 10000. 1t would
be 100000 were there room. The rock
grows nothing -Hong- Kong is equally
barren. But in each case freedom OF
trade and liberality in administration
have attracted all the population that
can possibly be accommodated. Rents
in Gibraltar are relatively high. So
they are in Hong-Kong, and for the
same reason.

Fined for a Laugh.

Insulting behavior" Ia very elastic
charge in Australia. IL may cover any
thing from pitch-and-toss to man
daughter. It's latest application comes
from Bendigo. In that golden city
where the late marquis of Salisbury
tried his luck as digger in 1925, the
authorities of a Methodist church de-
cided to suppress Juvenile giggling.
They introduced a policeman in plain
clothes, aAd he detected couple OF
small boys laughing during the evening
service. The boys were brought into
court ON charge of insulting be-
havior' and fined los each, plus lis.

who have not been guilty Of this crime

MISTAKES IN ENCYCLOPEDIA

AN ODD CULT OF JAPAN.
University Society That Pays I'M
pressive Tribute to Memory Of
Sir Isaac Newton.

One Of the strangest secieties-in Japan
is the cult in honor of Sir Isaac New
ton formed among the graduates and
undergraduates Of the Toxic university,
says the New York Herald
No president takes the chair during
the meetings Of the club, nor does q
fussy secretary read elaborate minutes.
Instead the presidents place is occu-
pied by Q handsome portrait Of Sir Isaac
and the happenings Of the club are pre-.
served In tradition, without recourse to
written records.
The annual festival Of the cult Is held
an Christmas day, the anniversary OF
the scientists birth; but frequent regu-
lar meetings are held, at which the
older students and faculty make speech
es, not too elaborstsly scientific, since
the object of the club after the venera-
ton Of Sir Isaac, is essentially social
No other European scientist or diseov.
erer appears to have made half the I'm
preston upon the Japanese that is cred
tied to Sir Isaac, and the cult Is peculiar
ly representative of the race.

Land of Twins and Triplets.

Scotland. is the land OF twins and
triplets, holding a long lead over her
sister countries in this matter In IL
months 20 fewer than 1925 mothers
gave birth to twins and 20 presented
triplets. Scotland is among the few
countries of Europe where the proper
ton of male babies is greater than Of
females. Striking an average, it is
found that there are about 1O4 males
to every 100 females, but the sur
plus of grown-up girls is nevertheless
large, as so many men travel south
and apparently neglect to take the pre-
caution to obtain return tickets to
the land of cakes, There is yet an
other interesting fact about Scotland.
It is the land of the hale old age. Re-
cent returns show that during one
year 679 people died between the ages

RUSSIAN LIQUOR MONOPOLY
Revenue from Taxes Amouna to a
Large Sum IN the Course
of Year.

The two purposes Of Minister White
In establishing government nonop.
oily. OF the liquor traffic in Russ a were
to diminish drunkenness by ma king II
more difficult to obtain intoXicants
and to increase the revenues, states
the Philadelphia Ledger. The time Is
still too short to determine fairly the
effect of the system on inebriety, but
there has been a positive financial
gain to the government. 1t cost $751;
OOe, 900 from 1893 to 1904 to iut the
scheme In operation. During that
time the income from the business
covered not only this outlay, but also
che running expenses, the rebates OF
duty more than SIT ,000), and the
s6,000,000 donated to temperance So
cieties, and left a surplus of $3.50, 900.
In the year 1901 the receipts from the
traffic were sS1, 100000 and the current
expenses were .625O0,O00, leaving
net profit Of 100000. In addition,
the tax on liquor returned sos, 800, 900.
The years sales from the government
stores amounted to 1873 900, 900 gallons.
The moral effect Of the monopoly Is
less apparent. In 1899 there were TO-
2s4 government stores for the retail
sale Of liquors, and there were discov-
cred 1903 Illicit stores or speak
easies." The peasant members OF the
conference in the district Of Saratoh
declared that there is no apparent de-
crease OF drunkenness, and that. az
there are no drinking saloons, the
people get drunk openly in the
streets; that the secret and Illegal sale
Of liquors Ia extending, and that the
rural communities have lost the con-
siderable revenue formerly derived
from saloon licenses

ON A VERY SLOW TRAIN,
Humorist Suggested Changing the
cowcatcher from Engine to
the Rear End.

A local railway out west has an un'
enviable reputation for slowness, and
many jokes are cracked at its expense,
Not long ago humorist was travelling
on this line, relates the Rehoboth Sun:
day Herald. When a ticket collector
came to examine the tickets the humor,
ist Inquired;
"Does this railroad company allow
passengers to give advice If they give
it in a respectful manneT?"
The collector, suspecting fun at his
own expense, replied in gruf tones: 81
suppose 1t does"
"Well, then, collector" replied the
humorist, and he winked at his fellow
passengers, ut occurred to me, as we
were coming along, that It would BIG
well to detach the cewoatcher from the
front of the engine and fix it on to the
rear Of the train"
"Why that?" demanded the collector.
"Well, you see," explained the hui
morist, I'VE are not likely to overtaks

cars had been cut out Of the middle

leaving the engine and the other cara
on the track The train was equipped
with emergency brakes, and, Of course,
the cars we're Immediately brought t.

up and made connections and the train
proceeded to Bucksport."
"One Of the strangest mishaps |
ever saw on railroad happened to q
train | was riding on, bound from Au
gusta to Bath" said the old railroader
This was good many years ago, when
the engines were not built as they are
to-day, and such an occurrence now
would be wonder Of the age. We had
been going along at a good rate OF speed
when the train suddenly came to q
stop | know we were not near any
station, so went ahead through ths
baggage car to the engine to see what
was the matter Well, sir, the drive
wheels on one side Of that engine lay
in the snow alongside the track, still
connected with the engine by the piston
rod, but the axles, which were nearly
six inches through, and solid iron, were
snapped off short. The engine was still
on the iron and dfd not appear to be
injured In any other way. We got word
TO Brunswick, and were towed in after
few hours wait.
Yes" said the old railroad man,
queer things happen on the roads some
times, and it is hard to account for
many Of the accidents that occur Still,
it is said it is the unexpected that always
runs up, and this is certainly true in
sailroading But it's a great life, and

Important Railroad Center

Monterey is now the most important
railroad center in the republic, north
of Mexico City. The railroad lines CEN
tsring here are largely owned by
American capitalists. Nearly all the
companies have materially improved
their properties until the railroads Of
Mexico remind travellers of those in
the United States.
