Statistics and Comparisons.
Of Nations of the World

BY p. b. VAN sYcKEL.
From the Irvington IN. - Gazette.

There are comparatives found,
along certain lines, in studying differ
ent nations Of the world, which, to
say the least, are interesting to pom
der over.
We are wont to claim that the
United States surpasses all nations of
the world in development and pro-
gress While the United States is the
youngest nation with which propose
to make certain comparisons, she has,
by no means, therefore, followed her
seniors in the examples they have
set her along the lines which I shall
pote In some of these comparisons
we should blush, in others the blush
is on their side.
The present population of the
United States is between 85,000,000
and 95,000,000 people. The popula-
tion of England is 36,998,178. The
population of Germany is 56,367,17S.
The population of Russia is LOG, 204,-
176, The population of Austria is
20,150,597. The population of Italy
is 32,449.754. The population OF
Spain is 18,089,500. The population
of France is 38,641,333.
The present wealth of the United
States is about 1892, 900, 900. 900. The
wealth Of the United States in 1897
was given as $1,75O, 000,000. The
wealth Of England at the same time
was $4,000, 100000. The wealth OF

THE PART WATER PLAYS
ON THE DESERT.
soeee OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

1t is difficult to comprehend the
part that water, or rather the lack of
water, plays in shaping the life of
the desert. Mice and other small
rodents, native to arid regions, have
been known to live on hard seeds
without green food for periods of
several months or even as long as
two or three years, and nothing in
their behavior indicated that they
ever took liquid in any form. / have
hunted deer and peccary in Sonora
in regions in which the only source
of water was to be found in the cac-
I'll; even bands of domestic sheep
reared in the arid regions. acquire a
capacity for going without water for
many weeks.
Man, however, is poorly armed
against the rigors of the desert. A
horseman may go from morning of
one day until some hour of the next,
in midsummer, and neither he nor
his horse may incur serious danger,
merous. If the traveller is afoot, abb
stinence from water from sunrise to
sunset is serious inconvenience to
him. and if he continues his journey,
the following morning his sufferings
may so disturb his mental balance
that he may be unable to follow a
trail, and by evening of that day, if
he has not come to something drink
able, he may not recognize the
friendly stream in his way, and in
stances are not unknown in which
sufferers from thirst, have forded
streams waist deep to wander out on
the dry plain to a grisly death.
Some estimate may be made of the
actual amount necessary from the
fact that the writer during the course
of an ordinary day in May at Tucson,
consumed sixteen pints of water. A
walk of three or four miles was TAX
en-, but no especial muscular effort
beyond this was involved A march
across the desert in midsummer
would double this quantity. Under
such circumstances, a canteen of less
capacity than a gallon is a toy, and
one of real usefulness, should con-
tain at least twice that amount. The
most notable example of endurance
of thirst is that of Mexican pros
pector, hunting for lost mine
near the old Canine del Diablo, or
trail from Altar to Yuma, who made
camp safely after being out for eight
days with supply sufficient for one.
This experience is not likely to be
duplicated soon, although 1t is re-
ported that Indians often go as long
as four days without water. From

d. T. MacDougal, in The Outing Mag

Transplanted English

If language is a true measure of
then Anglo-Saxon speech is rapidly
conquering the European continent.
! 1t is a matter of interest to many
to observe the increasing number of
English words Incorporated into col
loquial French This new but mild
and pacific form of English invasion
has led to the publication in Paris of
list of words that have become
more than "acclimated' and natural
lied by general use in France. Many
refer to sports and sporting, and in
this group of words adopted from the
English into French are turf, trot-
ting, Tattersall, racer, maiden. mi
lord, carriage and gentleman rider.
English drinks have no great vogue
in France, but the French have
adopted several of the English words
that distinguish them: gin, punch
and grog.
They have also taken the following
English words:
Lightweight. lawn tennis, Irish
stew, home, handicap, ale, "all
right" cocktail (Which the French
define as American, not English) I,
bridge and bridge whist, bullfinch,
block system, ballast, blackleg, event,
dining car, destroyer. drag (mail
coach), dandy, covert coat, commo-
dore, full hand (poker), flyer. feath-

Sewing One Seam For Fifteen Years.
1.-THE ease with which people can
become habituated to any kind of
uninteresting work, no matter how
monotonous it is, may be seen every
day in any shoe factor" says gen.
tleman connected with this St. Louis
industry.
in shoe factory the division of
labor is carried to the utmost posi-
bic extent. AS rule, one operative
performs one operation and no more.
There is one woman in our employ
who for fifteen years has sewed the
seam which begins at the right of the
eyelets, runs to the top, then around
and down on the other side. The
machine works so rapidly that she
actually spends almost as much time
in picking up and laying down the
shoe and adjusting it to the machine
as is required to do the sewing, and
this work she keeps up day after day
during all the working hours. One
might suppose the monotony of the
task would wear on her health and
spirits, but it does not seem to do
anything of the kind. She is one of
the most cheerful women in the fac
tory. st. Louis Globe-Democrat

She was sensitive, delicate, femi-
] nine thing, who could not have borne
| to see the least little creature suffer;
and she knew that what she saw

object, laundering on relentlessly

weight of hardest metal making the
earth tremble, was train, which in
another minute must mangle her tiny
human blossom before her eyes, un-

her; and the child, frightened by her
cries, sat up and looked at her, but
would not move, while the long train
came on at a terrific rate, rushing
toward him.
Shrek upon shrek, shrek upon
shrek, the wretched mother sent up
to Heaven; and the solid post to
which she was tied rocked again with
the fury of her struggles, but the cord
did not give an inch. 1t had cut
through the sleeves of her summer
gown, and into the delicate flesh of
her arms, but she felt no physical
pain. The awful torment of terror
was upon her, and all other forms of
suffering are as nothing to it.
AS it approached, the train uttered
shrek like hideous mockery of
her own, which it drowned, so that
she could not hear herself. It seemed
as if its speed increased as it neared
her, rushing along in cloud of dust.
1t was coming-it had comet
had passed--it had vanished. And
the poor tortured mother, sorry,
disheveled figure, a CHASTITY caricature
Of herself as she had been only an
hour before, was still enough now.
Her head had sunk on her breast;
her eyes were shut. She was con-
scious, but she could not stand; and
it was the cruel cord, eating further
into her flesh as her weight sank upon
it, which for the moment supported
her.
