New York and London
Items of Greatness In the Two Cities
Where We Excel.

1t is said of London, in praise of its
greatness, that:
In London child is born every three
minutes and a death is recorded every
FIVE minutes. The city contains 700 rail-
way stations, 5000 omnibuses, 1000
hansoms, 1900 cabs and 1000 tramcars.
Daily 100000 persons travel on under
ground railways.
Eleven railway bridges span the
Thames. Four thousand postmen de-
liver 100000 letters weekly, walking a
distance equal to twice the circumference
of the globe. There are 10000 miles OF
overhead telegraph wires, and the num-
Der of telegraph messages received IN
London in year is 100000.
Ninety million gallons of water are
consumed daily. The railways, onlrli-
buses, cabs and steamboats, convey 1879
100000 passengers daily, and the UNDER
ground railways 263,oooooo passengers.
The rr8 square miles of London are
lighted by 4,o74 electric arc lights, 1916
electric incandescent lights, 10000 in
candescent gas lamps and 1898 fiat
flame gas burners.
Well, New York can do something in
the same lines of municipal greatness.
With smaller number of inhabitants
than London it exceeds it in the volume
of t.svel, in the amount paid for work
in the volume of work done, and in the
increase in the number of buildings, oc-
cupants of building and of population
Where London consumes ooooo,ooc
gallons of water day. New York con-
sumes soo,ooo,ooo Where London has
an area of I18 square miles, New York
has gao.
In New York every minute two immi-
grants arrive--inore than 100000 a
year. Every six minutes child is born
Every seven minutes there is a funeral
Every hour new building is erected.
New York has more children at its
public schools than London; fewer paup-
ers; lower death rate; fewer uninhab-
tied houses; more parks, more bridges
fewer jails, better distributed street
traffic and higher standard of health
New York's subway carries more pas

ground. The number of crimes of
violence is twice as large in London as
in New York, and the number of ar
rests for drunkenness in London is four
times as great as the number of arrests
for the same cause in New York.
New York has more fires in a year
than London, and they entail greater
loss IT has less shinninU &C mort than
London, fewer clerks to the whole popu-
lation employed, but more bosses or en-

FADS AND FANCIES.
BIZ MINNA Sonar CRAwropp.

Fashions forecast for September
points very emphatically to short sleeves
and indicates that they are in higher ia
vor than ever, not alone for waists and
bodices, but for outer wraps Advance
importations of Paris styles now on view
in the Fifth avenue shops show the most
pronounced fall and winter coats and
wraps with half and three-quarter length
sleeves, and this in spite of all predic-
tons that the fall would see radical
changes in sleeves. There's no denying
the youthful effect of the short, pulled
sleeves; they somehow take years off
ones appearance, which helps to explain
why the short sleeve is too well en-
trenched in my lady's favor to be quickly
deposed.
A pleasing innovation is noted in the
return of those becoming lace under
sleeves that were the craze about six
years ago. They are full length and
close fitting, falling over the hands in
long points, like mitts. Made of trans
parent lace, in either black or white,
they are extremely effective, and the wo-
man with thin arms will rejoice at their
return to favor.
Sleeves have somehow grown to be
the determining factor in fashions, the
vital point, the center about which every
thing else revoIves. This question Of
sleeve style settled, one can draw breath
of relief and go ahead with plans and
preparations for the fall wardrobe.

DOUBTFUL REFORM.

Did the burglar seem at all i'm
pressed by your attempt to reform
hirn?.
Il think he did. Anyway, he let me
talk right on. Pretty soon he saw
mothers picture on the wall. Who is
this" he asked. and told him. Then I
said, How would your mother feel if
she could see you at your present
work?' That seemed to move him. He
paused moment, then he stepped I'D
to mothers picture. I don't like to
have those accusing eyes watching me-
he said, and turned the picture with
the face to the WALL
That certainly looked as if he could
mt be all bad
Didn't it? 1 thought so. too. And
then what do you suppose happened %
Tell me-"
Il had put a roll of bank bills that
George had given me to pay my dress
makers bill behind the picture for safe
keeping. 1 supposed nobody could find
it there. When the burglar turned over
the portrait the roll dropped to the
floor. He saw it fall, he picked it I'D.
He looked around at me and closed one
eye. Then he thrust the roll in his
pocket and hurried through the win

His Last March.
(By Wilbur D. Nesbit.)

(By Wilbur D. Nesbit.)
Bring the good old bugle, boys, Wen
sing another song,"
He heard the far-off chorus as his COM
rades marched along;
He heard the clank of saber, and the
jangling bit and spur,
The rumbling of the cannon where his
shouting messmates were;
He heard the hurried hoofbeats of the
horses mettlesome:
And high above he saw the flag that
beckoned him: "Oh, comet"
He saw them swing along the road
not graybeards slow and bent.
All, no. He saw the boyish ranks of
his old regiment.
With rhythmic tread it held it's line,
with fifers piping shrill;
He saw the ragged colors, that were
waving to him still;
And -caliing-calling, came the
rolling of the drum:
Fall in Fall in for dress paradel The
ranks are waiting. Come"
The line wheeled when it neared him,
and as in the light of noon
across the South were strewn;
He saw the brave companion who had
batted by his side
The tears weiled up again just as they
80 did the day he died.
Then, Halt the bugIe sounded, and
'-e- he heard his wartime chief
Call in his kindest, clearest tones: This
is the last reliefl'
March on" The flag was waving and
the soldiers marched away;
And he went singing with them, far be-
yond the Gates of Day,
The bugles pealing gladly and the line
with no more gaps
The bugles singing sweetly in that beni-
son of TAPS"
And flies were mad and merry, and the
drums were laughing, too,
For he marched beside the colors as he
led the grand reviewi
