stops, for the reason that dominant

Farmers of many townships through
which the proposed road would run
offered to supply all the rock and
other material to be used in its con-
struction.
Like others of its kind, this meas

" ing that the census will show the
population of the United States to be
over 90,000000, it seems assured that
the republic contains more than half
pf the inhabitants of the New World.
1t is quite probable that all of the re-
maining countries of this hemisphere
have fewer than 80,O00,OO0 inhabi-
tants.
That point can never be settled def
nitely until conditions change radi-
cally in many extensive regions of
Latin America Now most of the
states south of Mexico and north of
the Argentine either make farce of
their census taking or else do not at
tempt 1t at any time.
Recent estimates, partly based upon
census records, which have been
made in South America and Central
America, indicate that there are about
100000 people living between the
Rio Grande and Cape Horn, including
the West Indies. Canada has per-
haps 100000, allowing for rapid
growth since the census of 1901, and
Newfoundland adds less than 250,O0O.

In October, 1896, the old st. Croix
(San Coik) grist mill, then owned by
John G. Burke, was burned. On one

head of a barrel of -four, where this
letter was written to General Bur

Planning for a Small Family.


When catering for small family.
care, judgment and economy must be
used or one kind of food must be
served several times in order to avoid
waste.
When purchasing utensils and dishes
for cooking, choose the size most suit
able to the size of the family, as such
an investment has a great advantage
even in serving leftovers.
In buying roast, too small q one
dries out in cooking and Is not an
economical purchase. The beef left
over may be served in slices heated in
Mexican sauce curry. tomato, or
horseradish sauce. The little bits too
small to serve may be chopped and
seasoned, then used as sandwich fill
ing. or one can always have hash.
Bits of leftover vegetable like car
rot, beans or corn, may be added to a
salad greatly to its advantage.
Eggs contain no waste and add to
the nutriment Of a dish. When ma

serve in sauce poured around an
omelet.
Very tempting desserts may be
made from stale cake cut in rounds or
fancy shapes, a preserved pear o.
peach, with little of the syrup and
whipped cream served on each piece
For small family one can make so
many attractive little dishes that
would be entirely out of the question
with larger family.
When using gas a small portable
oven TO be used over a burner Is a
great saving.
A delicious dessert which is both
pleasing to the eye and the palate is
prepared by beating together half
cup of any favorite jelly and the white
of one egg. 1t will take a little time
to beat until it stands alone, but the
result will repay the effort. Serve in
sherbet cups with sweetened whipped
cream on top. A change from the
usual French toast may be made by
cutting the bread In rounds or in some
fancy shape, dip in egg and milk and
fry in butter as usual. Often a dish
refused many times will be welcomed
If the appearance is changed 1t is
necessary in all successful cooking to
appeal first to the eye.

SWINGING THE ARMS.
The Habit n Relic of the Time Whep
Man Went on All Fours.

The Habit a Relic of the Time When
Man Went on All Fours.
Sir Victor Horsley, lecturing before
the Medical Society of London, ex-
planned our habit of swinging the arms
when walking, which he stated was
quite unnecessary, as a relic of the
days when unnecessary, as a relic OF
the days when we walked on all fours.
Then we had to use arms as well as
legs. Although their use serves no
purpose when walking upright, we still
keep on moving all four limbs alter
nately or in progression. Sir Victor
sets forth some new facts concerning
the functions of the cerebellum, the
mysterious and little understood hind
part of the brain.
primarily the cerebellum must be
regarded" said the lecturer, "as a SEN
sorry organ which has an important
part in the correct performance Of
many of our automatic actions Walk
ing, standing and running are good ex-
amples of such actions, which cannot
be accurately carried out without a
normal, well balanced cerebellum. New
born animals cannot stand They
sprawl, and before they can stand,
walk or run they must acquire this
power. For conveniences in life this
ability to stand must be secured with
out the animal having consciously to
think what he is doing. The fully de-
veloped cerebellum supplies this power
unconsciously."
In proof of this Sir Victor pointed
out that the cerebellum of full-grown
cat showed fully developed cells and
fbers, whereas in newborn kittens the
brain in the cerebellar portion is not
yet organized into active nerve tiS
sues.-New York Times.

In the matter of kindness to ami.
mails it is said that the Turk cannot
be surpassed. Thus at Stamboul the
wandering dogs are treated with great
gentleness, and when puppies come
into the world they are lodged with
their mother at the side of the street
in improvised kennels made out of old
boxes lined with straw and bits of
carpet. And frequently when a young
Turk happens to be flush of money he
goes to the nearest bakers shop and
buys a quantity of bread, which he
distributes among the dogs of the quar-
ter, who testify their gratitude by
jumping up at him with muddy paws
and smiling muzzles.
