the exception Of Mergenthaler, which

THE SLEEVES THE THING.

The masculine part of the inhabit- ants should account 1t as one of it's greatest blessings that it does not have to wrestle with the mighty problem of sleeves. The word sleeves is always written in the feminine vocabulary in capital letters.
 , Nowadays, if one listens to the con- versation of the feminine clerks in shops, it is always about sleeves. For the nonce discussions about him have been abandoned. Past and gone are the talks about Jack and his do- ings-all that one overhears is sleeves
 The reason one cannot wear ones Hast seasons suit this season is entire ly matter of sleeves.
 The reason ones last summers gowns are going to look like last summer s gowns, and nothing more, is entirely a matter of sleeves.
 The reason the lingerie waists one spent the spring of one's youth making just three short months ago no longer the thing is entirely a matter of sleeves A mans sleeves give him no concern They may be a tri1e fuller at one time than another but if they are no ont knows it but the tailor-not even the man himself.

CONSOLATION IN GRASS.

The prospect that there will soon be new State House on the Green does mt grow in brightness, and those who don't want to die without the sight of it will perhaps be wise in trying to be- come reconciled. Of course it will be hard for those who still wildly remenl- ber and fond1y love the old State House to give up hope of again seeing the moonbeams play on a new Grecian temple as they used to play on the old one in the long ago, but this looks like an unsentimental age, or, at least, an age which is stuck on green grass in- stead of silyery moonbeams.
 By the way won't that grass look about right when it again shows it's delicate blades, every one of which will be equal in beauty to column of a Grecian temple? If those who con- tinue to mourn the old State House will take q careful look at the grass when 1t rises and shines 1t will help them to bear that which it now looks as if they would be called on to bear.

AN ENCOURAGING EXPERIMENT.

The great fire losses which continue to be made in this country indicate that fire-proof construction isn't, or isn't thought to be, as easy and cheap as 1t ought to be for the good of all concerned. There is a British fire pre- ventlon committee which has been looking into the matter of non-combus- tible floors. The two floors tested were of re-enforced concrete, and for four hours, while loaded with 250 pounds per square foot, were placed under a fire test at temperatures ranging be- tween 1900 and 1000 deg. F'ahr., fol- lowed by an application for five min utes of water from q steam engine. | One floor was of brick concrete, re-en- forced with expanded metal lathing, supported by ordinary encased girders. 1 The other was of clinker concrete, re-
 enforced with small joists, supported by inclosed broad flange girders. In both structures "Ferrocrtte" cement was used, and the period allotted for setting and drying was about the same. The tests were in every way satisfacto- ry, for after the ordeal the floors in question gave hardly any indication of | the severe trial to which they had been exposed If they had formed parts of a storehouse or a mercantile establish
 ment, the entire inflammable contents might have been burned out without doing injury to the building.
 This is encouraging. After a few more billions have gone up in smoke perhaps most of the buildings in cities will be such as not to tempt fire.

ence enough with sleeves to know that they couldn't remain the same for two consecutive months to save themselves.
 In the spring the suit has to be taken back to the dressmaker's to have the sleeves adjusted.
 One might just as well have an inch too much on the end of her nose as an inch too much on the end of her sleeves.

 It was found impossible, though, to master the tiger, and finally the truck had to be uncoupled, and left on a sid- ing. There the men succeeded at last in wedging in the brute between two of the cages, and tried to smother him in furs and blankets.

KING EDWARD,s SUBJECTS.

The British empire is big. The first census of it has just been issued from the general registrars office in London, but much of the material in it will have to be digested before the value of it can be appreciated. The returns are for the year 1901, and nearly five years have been required to collect them and put them into anything like ineligible shape. According to the official fig ures, King Edward has in Asia more than 300 900 of subjects, on the American continent 7,500,OO0, in Africa about 49,OO0O00, in Australasia more than 100000, and in Europe more than 42,000,00O, Classifying them broad
 ly by religions, there are 0S000,00 of Hindus 94,0000O0 of Mohammedans, 5S,0000O0 of Christians, 12000,000 of Buddhists, and 23,000,O0O of various pagan or non-Christian religions. It should be added that this last item rep resents a very wide generalization, since it contains Parsees, SilShs, Jains, Jews and Confucians, as we'll as very primitive forms of superstition. Every attempt in the United Kingdom to add a column for religions to the census re- turns has been defeated up to the pres ent time. For some reason or other the native Britisher objects, seemingly,
 to declaring the faith that is in him for purposes of classification. There are exceptions, however, for some en- thusiasts have not hesitated to pro- claim themselves Calathumpian, Cano- pist, Hoke, Hylozeist, Tipon, Thesian,
