The question Of race suicide does
not trouble Germany. though there
is q steady drain upon her population
through emigration. Last year nearly
100000 left her, and there are now
about 100000 Germans in the United
States; between 100000 and 2.0OO.-
900 in Russia, and a large Teutonic
representation in Australia and Bra
I'll. Notwithstanding this, the popu-
lation has almost doubled in so years.
In the last is it has increased from
4s. 400. 900 to over 81 ,177.60O, and the
surplus of births over deaths has ris-
en- from lit per cent in 1890 TO 14.5
per cent. In 1894 The deposits OF
these people in the savings banks
guaranteed by their various munich

His Last Shot.

Rev R. j. Campbell. who contrib
uted solo to a recent service at the
City temple, London, in order to show
how certain hymn should be sung
tells the following story of his grand
father, a strong old Puritan, stern in
the cause of right, but gentle in his
dealing with children and animals. His
intense love and sympathy with ami
mails was such that when he acci-
dentally shot robin one day-for he
was a keen sportsman-he held the
poor little bird in his hand while it
died Then he walked back silently
to his study and hung up his gun,
never to be taken down again And
he never failed, when opportunity
arose. to impress upon the future pas
tor of the City temple the lesson of
kindness to dumb creatures.

The 5ootb Club.

A curious club has been formed in
New York. 1t is known as the "500ib
Club and its members consist of
heavy weights. The president turns
the scale, it is said, at 500 pounds.
The rules enact that honorary mem
bers are admitted II they weigh 45O
pounds, and on attaining 500 pounds
they become life members-that is,
''ad vitam aut culpam," the "culpam"
consisting OF falling below 500 pounds.
If the diminution Of weight continue
the member may have to withdraw,
but the 500-pounder, should he put on
flesh would be entitled to special con-
sideration should he fall upon evil
days and sink below the statutory
weight which, by the way, is about
two-thirds that attained by Daniel
Lambert.

LARGE Orange Crop.

Consul r. e. Holiday of Santiago
de Cuba reports that the orange crop
OF Cuba this year will be the largest
in the history of the island and will
reach 100000 boxes Until the last
three years large quantities of oranges
were annually imported into Cuba
from Florida. and California, and while
the scientific, cultivation of the fruit
is yet in its infancy, its development
has been so rapid and generally profit
able that it is believed that in another
year the industry will have progressed
sufficiently to supply the local demand
for the fruit The business Of orange
culture in Cuba is almost entirely in
the hands OF Americans.

In one year, 1907. one man, with tho
aid OF modern railroad appliances, was
able to move one ton Of freight 139, $50
miles, and one passenger 1887 miles.
A man with a good team of two horses
and a wagon on roads better than the
average American road would be doing
well to haul u tons 30 miles, six days
IN the week, or 1880 ton miles per
year, leaving no time for passenger
transportation. At this rate it would
require more than ten men and 20
horses to do the freight transportation
which one man does with railroad
and without any horses; and to carry
the freight trafic which the railroads
Of this country carried last year, H.
100000 men and 35.00O,00O horses
would be required, instead of the
I.672, 900 men who actually not only ef-
fected the transportation OF all this
freight, but Of all the passenger traf-
lic also. The improvements since 1889
alone have enabled 1,672,O00 men to
do what in 1889 would have required
100000 more.-Railroad Age-Gazette.

China Not for Dissection.

To the European nations which par
ticipated in the grisly Boxer carnival.
that event has proved also somewhat
cf an awakening. The tendency to
treat China as a corpse waiting for
dissection has almost passed away.
The disposition to recognize in the
Chinese people rights other than that
of buying western print goods and H.
Eliminating oil, is perceptibly growing.
China's new infant emperor will prob
ably attain a ripe old age before the

is complete. but the situation in the
far east to-day indicates that China
will, at least. be given a chance.
