The Growth of cities

The century just passed has witness
ed an enormous multiplication of large
cities and their rapid growth. In 1901
there were in all Europe but % cities OF
more than 100000 Inhabitants, of which
only London and Paris had more than
500, 900. and none reached a million. AT
present there are 160 cities of more
than 100, 900 inhabitants. 55 above 500,-
O00 and seven of more than a million.
In the entire world there are 13 cities
of a million or more inhabitants, in
cIuding the European seven. NJ. de
FovilIe a French student of compare
tive statistics, attributes this unprece-
dented increase to the fact that the
combined efforts of science, industry
and invention have actually changed
the face of the world. Chemistry, steam,
and electricity. railways and steam
ships, gold and credit have all appear
ed during this period and have given
both to men and to affairs an impulse
like the stroke of a magic wand.-San
Francisco Call.

Recently one of our most fastidi-

overalls and found in them the name
of the young girl who had made
them. He very promptly wrote her

received a reply, which, however,
was void of the romance usual in
such cases. Here it is: Il am a
