CHANGING AMERICAN CITIES.

hostOn, Once Third in Population.
Now I'm Fifth Place.
There is almost a touch OF person-
atty In the way American cities have
moved In relative position during the
last 100 years. Their changing for
tunes are full Of suggestiveness. New
York, which had become the largest
city by 1870, has held its place in
front In every census up to the present
time, and now, with population more
than double that Of Its next competitor.
Is not In Immediate danger of losing
pre-eminence. Chicago first appeared
on the list In 1850, as the 25th Ameri-
can city. At each census 1t made a
long stride and passed many competi-
tors until 1t reached second place In
1890.
st. Louis appeared one decade ear
lier than Chicago, and in 1850 had
Jumped to the eighth place-a sensa-
tional advance. Philadelphia started
In the second place, has never been be-
low fourth, and is to-day the third
American city.
Boston started as third and stands
to-day the lfth, says Harper's Week
ly. Charleston, the fourth city in the
original list, lost steadily In relative
position until, In 1880 1t appeared for
the last time among the first so. Bal
timore has kept Its place very evenly.
Northern Liberties, the sixth city In
the first census, and Southwark. the
10th, are now part Of Philadelphia.
1t ls interesting to study the Infiu-
ences that makes cities powerful the
world over. The greatest gathering Of
the Chinese is at Canton. Hong Kong
Island, at the mouth Of the Canton
river, was well nigh deserted until En-
ropean commercial interests found their
way into Asia, formed new center of
population and founded city that is
already great. European cities have
not had so many ups and downs as
those of America, although the popula-
tion of Rome has shown extraordinary

NATIONS EXCHANGE CHILDREN.

Society to Promote Language study
and Mutual Good VIII at Work.
Among the oddities of European edu.
cation at present is the exchange OF
children systems, says the New York
Sun.
Last year the Paris branch reported
l46 exchanges affecting 292 children,
an Increase of twenty-six exchanges
over 1905, and the greatest number to
date, The plan is to have a boy OF girl
from French family sent to Germany
or England, where he or she becomes a
member Of a German or an English
family, the latter in return sending n
child to France who is taken in charge
by the parents of the French child.
Each family pays the travelling ex-
penses OF Its own child and keeps It
clothed. Nothing is paid for bed or
board on either side. The society paws
all expenses Of finding consenting fam
lies, Of negotiating the exchange and
Of safeguarding the children In tran
sit.
The main purpose Is set forth as be-
Ing the reciprocal cultivation Of knowl-
edge of foreign tongues. Then every
exchanged child, 1t is assumed, will
take home genial impression of its
foreign sojourn and will always have
a kindly feeling for its hosts.
By far the greater number of ex-
changes are for the school vacation
season, only. This 1t is expected, NAV
be made very general
Last years exchanges were divided
as follows: France Germany, lU5
cases; France England, "a; France
Austria, 3; Germany England, L; Ger
many-Italy, 1. There were 24O bows
and girls exchanged; England furnish
ed Of the girls, Austria 8 and the rest
were French.
The probable spread of the system is
Indicated by the fact that the society
received altogether $500 tentative pro
posals for exchanges during the year
Altogether 800 exchanges have been ne.
gotiated since the society started.
