NEW YORK CITY.

One-fourth Of the population Of New
York city is Of native stock.
New York city has more children un-
der one year old than Wyoming has
entire population.
New York city's expenses are In
creasing in greater proportion than
its population. Ten years ago the year
~ expenses were $21 for each tnhabit-
ant, and now they are $33 for each
man, woman and child.
No part Of New York city has such a
marked weekly change in population
as that section Of Manhattan Island
below Wall street. For six days in the
week it has an average population of
$1,000 persons, and on Sundays it is
reduced to 2,6OO.-New York Herald.
Aside from its physical effect, the
moral effect of athletics, in the case Of
the soldier at least, is of no small val
ue. My experience has been that men
are less likely to drink in the football
or baseball season, even though they
may be addicted to the use Of intoxi-
cants. And this though no special eff
fort may have been made along these
lines by those in charge OF the sports
The class of men who so in for ath-
leticS and excel in such contests are
the most desirable soldiers and the
best all round men. Still another ad-
vantage of athletics is that good ath-
lo4 foo hO 70

good recruits and soldiers to enlist
there.-Army and Navy Life.

There was something OF a paradox
IN the literary career OF Louisa de J.
Rance (Ouida) whose death from
ioid age occurred few days ago. She
was lifted from obscurity to notoriety
Iand fortune by the popularity OF her
novels; but, strangely enough, her
fortune began to decline when II
seemed that her fame. or at least a
competence. was assured by the
avidity with which the tickle public
bought her books. In her early days
she was more popular with the crowd
than with the critics: eventually she
became more popular with the critics
than with the crowd. The sale of her
books began TO decline with the turn
of the critical tide in her favor. Dur.
ing the summer of 1907 II was widely
announced that Ouida (she derived
her name from her childish mispro
nnnciation of her name. Louisa,) was

MOTOR RACING.
The Relation Of Road Racing to Con.
structlon.

An automobile manufacturer Of
Wide repute said, recently:
AT the present time there Is q
strong feeling against racing automo-
biles on tracks. and perhaps this Is
| justified In view of recent fatalities;
but there Is another side 10 the story.
The big road races which are held
| abroad and contests like the Wander
! bilt Cup. have always been great fac
| tors in developing the industry, and
do not believe II is putting II too
strong TO say that were it not for
these contests the touring car would
be far from its present state OF per-
lection.
ITO the layman racing and touring
are totally divorced, yet, as a mat
ter Of fact, they are closely allied,
The problems Of building success
full racing car and successful tour
Ing car are practically the same.
There has never been a case where
the designer who constructed sue
cessful racing car has not been able
to turn out thoroughly reliable tour
ing car.
Speed is powerful factor for des-
truction, and how many ears do we
see which give fairly good satisfaction
under ordinary conditions and yet
fall down when called upon for all
that Is in them, Every one who has
championed racing has at some time
or other come across man who
never wanted to 20 more than twenty
miles an hour &C. And while all
that may be true. nevertheless the car
built by manufacturer who has made
good In the racing game is. find
wanted even under the most adverse
touring conditions.
1T Is interesting to look back for |
the past two or three years at some |
Of the successful racing cars. They |
were almost without exception shaft
driven The effect of this on the I
-rade is now evident by the fact that
he majority of cars are adopting the
shaft drive. Some Of the problems
which were worked out on several
