Growth Of New York CITY.

From the New York World.
According to the estimate OF the health
department the population Of New York
city is now 4.422.6S5. The city thus con-
tains half a million more people than
were in the United States when the Con-
stitution was adopted. Its population Is
greater than that of Ohio or of the fom
New England States - Massachusetts,
Connecticut. Rhode Island and Vermont
1t has a larger population than Eng
land under the great Elizabeth. 1t is
six times the size numerically of Paris
under the grand monarque. four times
as big as London when George III was
king. more than four times greater than
Rome under Augustus. There are sena-
torial districts in Manhattan more dense
ly populated than was Athens. the eye
of Greece" in the age of Pericles.
1t was said of the Romans by one OF
their historians that they had made the
world a city" New York has become
civic commonwealth greater in num-
bers. In wealth, in social. artistic. moral
and all but legislative influence than any
OF the states of the Union. 1t added
to it's population last year city the
size of Denver. AT the same rate 1t
will add every decade the population
equivalent to- Boston and Baltimore
combined. or three cities Of the rank of
Cincinnati. Where is the end to be? SUI
perlatives lose their force when employed
to express the wonderful growth of New

WHAT "MERcER1zED" MEANS
Process Of Initiating Silk Disre-
garded for Many Years.

from the Cra1t6mdn.
Mercerized cotton was first introduced
as a substitute for silk some ten or twelve
years ago, although the process for max
ing 1t was invented about 1S40 by cele-
brated English dyer. John Mercer. He dis
covered that when cotton. either in cloth
or yarn. was subjected for short time
to the action of strong caustic alkali. and
then thoroughly washed, the resulting
material was much stronger than before,
had shrunk very considerably. and had
q much greater affinity for dyestuffs.
Mercer patented his discovery and made
some use of 1t In calico printing, but the
process was nearly forgotten until. In
1889, it was discovered that by proper
treatment cotton could by this means be
made 80 lustrous as to compare not un-
favorably with silk
To make the cotton lustrous. the goods.
after dipping into the strong alkali. are
kept firmly stretched and their strong
tendency to shrink resisted. until the
alkali has been thoroughly rinsed off and
the last traces neutraliZed with little
acid. II this is done carefully, when
finally dried the cotton ibers will be found
drawn out smooth and 1ustrous, while
still retaining their new qualities Of
strength and increased dyeing power. To
get good results in this process the mate
rials treated, whether in yarn or cloth.
must be made Of the very best and longest
stapled cotton. preferably Egyptian. and
when well done the results are extremely
satisfactory. The luster Is not as good
as the very best silk, but II is quite well
marked, and for replacing the cheap p
grades of heavily weighted silks, as, for
instance, for underwear, Innings. ETC. the
mercerized goods are of very great value
owing 10 their strength and durability, as
we'll as their cheap pness

Poking Fun at Art.
rtom tte Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Art has been developed SO amazingly
In recent years that the average man
finds 1t difficult to tell whether a picture
is good or bad. 1t was formerly the be-
lief that the painter painted for the aver
age intelligent man. But now it seems
that this view was not altogether cor
rect. The artist often paints a picture
that the average intelligent man fails
either to understand or admire. If he is
a modest as well as intelligent person he
comes TO the conclusion that he must be
lacking in taste and appreciation and
that the light OF art shines not for him.
We do not believe that artist should
paint upward: but he ought TO realize that
he is not working for the appreciation Of
artists. He has a beautiful or dramatic
or significant picture in his mind and 1t
Is his business to so transfer it to the
canvas that others may see it.
The poet does not write poetry for poets.
He writes for people of culture. taste
and intelligence. whether they be poets
or lawyers. doctors. bankers and mer-
chants. The musical composer must write
to please the intelligent masses. and not
to win merely the appreciation of mus
icians. 1t is true that Wagner was not i'm
mediately appreciated. but that was be-
cause he had declared war on old forms
and conventions, and 1t took time to carry
his revolution to a successful issue.
Shakespeare. Homer, Dante. Moliere.
Milton. Tennyson. Goethe and Schiller
were the worlds greatest writer's. but the
average man has little difficulty in under
standing them. The fads in art, However,
are often very puzzling. One does not
know whether a particular fad will re-
main a fad. or whether 1t will become a
permanent tendency, whether it is a
transient craze or a lasting impulse.
Hence it is that art often comes under
the lash of lampoon and the laughter OF
satire

UNJUST CRITICISM OF MEN
Let Differences Be Debated With
Sweet Reasonableness."

From Vogue.
While the noticeable tendency on the
part of woman propagandists and others
to exaggerate the defects of men, and Of
the institutions they have created. is per-
haps a natural turning of the tables-the
proverbs of all nations indicating that
men have put in good deal of their leis-
ure time all down the centuries in criti-
cising women-it is neither a gracious nor
wise way Of trying to improve condi-
tons. And for older women, who for
many years have been endeavoring to-
push through radical schemes. to delude
younger women into the belief that men
enemies OF women as a class; or that, IL
women had been in the saddle, as 1t were
they would have developed themselves
and institutions with which they were
undesirable. Indeed, nothing In the
achievements of women as q class. either
In the past or at the present time, bears
out the hattering view they take Of their
proves that they have not acquitted them
selves so well. even in those fields which

But 1t is on the immigrant women, and
on the daughters Of immigrants. that

tyranny of their old world governments.
not only misleads. but actually tends to
develop hostility to the causes intended to
be helped.
BY no stretching Of facts can American
men be charged with desiring other than
families and those for whom they have
undertaken to provide Stable government
and a progressive civilization. and If
there still remain disabilities which should
be removed, the patriotic way is to de-
bate the questions involved with sweet
reasonableness. Above all. let us refrain
from unjust criticism Of the sex that has

Rifle Art.
From the london Chronicle.

From the london Chronicle.
When opening rifle club at Witham

Wood told some stirring stories in Illus

attack by $1,000 Zulus on 1.SoO white men.

some thousands of warriors. who, covered
by the hilly ground. would. il they had
charged, have been under fire for only
thirty yards. The British general who
was outside the laager. shot the Zulu
at 192 yards, and then shot second and
q third who had picked up his flag.
The Zulus abandoned the attack, and
the position was saved. But who could
have been the British general who thus
played the part of David to the Zulu
Goliaths? None but Sir Evelyn himself.

AN EDUCATIONAL PARALLEL.
Universities Discuss Needs of Stu
dents Destined for Business.


From the New York Sun.
1t Is felt in some Of our universities
that two distinct grades of education
should be introduced before long-some-
thing like the English division into
honor and pass courses-in recog-
milton of the fact that the educational
needs of the students are separating
themselves more definitely on two levels.
Every year the proportion OF university
students who go into business Is increas-
Ing. and it is urged that their studies
should should. be oun1,e planned throughout on
those of intending professional men.
teachers and researchers. To borrow
simfle la mode. the students fall into
two classes Of runners. long and short
distance men. and 1t must be harmful
to both classes to treat them all as II
their distances were the same.
1t is interesting to note that the same
problem having arisen In France the
same solution Is being proposed there
French youths up 20 the "ba ccalaureat''

NJ Lanson started from the assulnp-
ton that the majority of the students
have fallen below the standard of in
tellectual purpose which the present
curriculum implies. He spoke of their

to the fact that newspapers and maya

that the French newspapers themselves
