To sacrifice the quiet and conyenicnccs of
the home would mean much 10 either a
busy pastor. or the president OF a growing

preston. Though the rial was severe,
the fact that the sccrihce was made IN the
Masters name and for the higher educa-
tion OF Christian womanhood. will count
immelsurably for the college boz the future.
The college family are now happy IN the
thought that DR.. Butler has thus shown
his vital interest in them. and they hope 10
prove worthy Of this interest. Mn. Butler,

MOST POPULAR NUMBERS.
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 can tell him nine times out of ten what number he has selected. though his ss- lection is made mentally" said a man who, according to the New Orleans es-Denocrat, is fond of the old things, "and when you come to think of it, the task of naming the correct number is not a difficult one. In tho course of an hour the other day l asked ten men to think of certain number-any number between one and ten-and would tell them what mum. ber they had fixsd their mind on (n nine cases out of ten was correct missing it only onca The minds d nine of the persons selected the mum. Der seven, and one of them selected nine. It is not difficult to understand why the mind should TUE 70 the num- Der seven. Even in the case of tho man who fixed his mind on the num- Der nine, he told me when 1t was all over that his mind had first run to seven. but he quickly changed to nine without knowing just why it was tha: he changed. Seven is the most prom inent figure between one and ten. II k the most popular number in the line, and is associated with more things than any other number, and 1t Is quits 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 1t to sixth per son. When the slips had been handed ao the sixth man I said: Seven is tht number on each of the slips
 "'Correct," said the man to whom they had been handed, and the fve men were a bit bewildered for the moment by the fact that they had al
 hit upon the same number. and that was able to tell what the number was It would be quite as easy to name { number between 10 and 20, though
 have made no tests along this line.
 dare say that 13 would be the frs number to flash n She rind, simp'J because 1t is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 2 that has the widest association. St you can tell there is no trick about it xnd 1t doesn't require any knowledge Of the occult philosophies."

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

According to a recently issued censua 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 have considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos. ton is good example; about l. 200, ,00C people live in sight of the state house dome. and less than 10000 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- .ion of a state, "in proportion to ita size" Such comparison Is seldom made of cities, although 1t might not be uninteresting. Pittsburg, for example has 8 population of third of million on 18.000 acres of ground; New York's population, little more than ten times as great, spreads over nearly 12 timea as many acres.
 Chicago was long famous for it's an. rexation habit, but since 1890 New York nas annexed much more territory than Chicago's total area. New Orleans has a slightly larger area than Chicago Zach of them covers six times the ares of Baltimore.
 Washington, which occupies the Mary. land part of the ten miles square sci aside for national capital, is a fair sized city as area goes, for this genera. tion. It may seem small a century hence although it looked abundantly ample foi all the purposes of urban developmen, when laid out.
 ID the case of cities, as we'll as of other corporations, consolidation is plainly ere of the tendencies of the times. More than one-third of those in the United States have added to their territory by annexation since 1s90. Townships and counties areoccasionally subdivided, by ''eason of local interests. but the cities c-oem 70 be steadily pushing their boun. daries outward. There are some eco homie reasons for this. but the reason In many cases has been the desire oi their inhabitants to make "good show ,uE"
