land. NewYork, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, in short, it has combined
area of approximately 1877, 900 square
miles, individually, aside from
Salvador, already mentioned, the
states could be compared as follows:
Honduras to Pennsylvania, as, 200
square miles Guatemala to Mississippi,
$4,000; Nicaragua to New York,
40, 200; Costa RIGA to Vermont and
New Hampshire, 1890
Data as to the population of these
states are somewhat contradictory,
but the official figures given to the
international Bureau of America in
Republics by the diplomatic repre-
sentativeS of these countries atWashing
ton are here used. Guatemala heads
the list with l, 1864, 67s people. Then
comes Salvador, with l,0O6, S4s, Hon
duras, with SAB, al; Nicaragua, with
423, 200, and Costa Rica, with 331, $40
grand total of 3,67l. 807. This nearly
exceeds that ofTexas or Tennessee and
is about twice that of California.
Such population should disabuse the
minds of many persons THAT Central
America is scarcely settled, savage
land. OF course, there are consider
able portions of the low lands and
along the seacoast where the inhabi-
tants are few, and even these live in
most primitive manner, but, on the
plateaus and higher sections of the
interior are cities and towns of ad-
vanced civilization, with up-to-date
features of municipal life, and an
agricultural, population that leaves
little valuable and unoccupied. -

CANDY A DRINK CURE.

A Philadelphia physician has come
to the conclusion that the liquor evil
can be stamped out by developing
humanity's taste for candy. He
claims to have discovered that within
recent years women have eaten less
candy and have consumed more alcohol,
while the reverse has been true of
men.
The conclusion will be learned with
interest by liquor dealers, confectioners
and moralists. White ribboners have
attempted to shut the doors of. the
saloon by inducing men to drink cherry
pohsphates purchased for a penny
glass at roadside fountains. Teeto-
talers have marshaled vast array of
statistics to show how quickly the
human stomach is corroded and ultim-
ately entirely destroyed by strong
liquors. Inventors have given to the
world beer in tablet form, hoping
thereby to minimize saloons and make
it possible for a man to acquire nice,
respectable flag" without going be-
hind swinging baize doors or being seen
in any company more disreputable
than small vial which may be carried
in the vest pocket.
But thus far no good substitute for
liquor or for, the saloon has been
discovered. Does the solution lie in
the bag of candy and the candy shop?
1t would certainly be long advance
towards the promised millennium
if old topers in the last stages of
delerium tremens could be induced to
walk by the rum shop and going into
the confectioner's spend their money
for peanut brittle or marshmallows.
What an infinite amount of misery
and misfortune could be averted if
young girls who frequent dance halls
and the family entrance of palm
gardens and beer parks could be led
from the crokinole board or the fiddle
dy-winks game to the candy shop and
there be RECALLED with peppermints and
gum drops. Virtue would not be so
difficult of preservation and vice would
no longer uprear its horrid head in
the land. And supposing one young
man just turned q, with every inclin
alton to be tin-horn sport, should
abandon his Martini and Manhattan
for caramels and butterscotch and his
poussecafe for striped stick candy?
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
Philadelphia physician not only is
correct in his conclusions, but that he
can induce humanity in general to see,
believe and practice. 1t will be many
thousands of years before the candy
habit will have fastened its octopus
grip on the people as firmly as has the
liquor habit. In the meantime give /
the right hand of fellowship to the |
man on the street who munches con-
tentedly from bag of sweets. He |
might otherwise have gone down to "a
grave.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that the
generally accepted Limitation of human
life is many years below the attainment
possible with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its dura-
ton, seems to be between so and 90; the
proper care of the body during this de-
cade cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal to longevity.
Natures best helper after so is Electric

revitalizes every organ of the body.
