MeneIIk,s Regular stunt.

From the Birmingham News.
The enterprising press correspondent at
Adds Abeba. in distant Abyssinia. in
forms a listening world that King Meme
lik is once more dying. This time the
proud ruler Of the desert is reported to
be suffering from stroke Of apoplexy.
and his condition is said to be critical.
King Menelik has died so often in the
last few years that dying may 5e said to
have become habit with him. Often has
the news come singing over the swaying
wires that Menelik of Abysslnia las given
up the ghost, shuhled off the mortal coil
and given last Ions, lingering kick at
the bucket. only to have the whole story
denied when the Adds Abeba press cor
respondent becomes a little more familiar
with the true facts in the case.
Abyssinias ruler has had a career re-
nowned in both war and peace. but in
history his fame viii be recorded as the
most dyingest man that ever lived. Meme
lik has fallen while leading his men in the
charge Of battle; he has been the victim
OF the assassin's dagger, and has drunk
the poison prepared by unfaithful mem
bers Of his household: he has succumbed
to more diseases than ever before afilct-
ed human-yet he still sits steady on the
Throne OF Abyssinia

Raymond Duncan Explains How the
Toes May Express Emotion.
From the Kansas City Star.
Only a few of the deepest delivers into
rhythms and noble thoughts know now
adays how TO express emotion with their
toes. Mr.. Raymond Duncan can do it,
OF course. but he admits that he can do
anything he tries to do. 1t is probable
that in the period that preceded what
we call the golden age. a great many
persons had loquaclous toes. But the
general public in these degenerate times
scarcely can understand what the toe
language is, let alone attempt to talk
In it,

THE ENGLISH ART CLUB.
A Group OF Painters Teaching Their
Generation Truth and styIe.

A Group OF Painters Teaching Their
Generation Truth and style.
The new English Art Club is the direct
antithesis OF the Royal Academy and has
happily furnished a wholesome antidote
to academic ascendency. The club has no
officers beyond an executive committee,
it awards no prizes and holds no annual
banquets. writes Christian Brinton IN
Harper's Magazine
Art in England, so long divorced from
popular life. is again being humanized. 1t
is reasserting that wholesome verify
which it so richly enjoyed in the time Of
Hogarth and Seorge Morland. and which
well-nigh perished under the blight Of
academic sterility.
It is sucn men as Mr.. Steer. Mr. Or
pen. ard their colleagues who are respon-
sible for this transformation. They are
teaching their generation style and truth.
They are not slaves to detail. they look
at nature broadly and sympathetically.
and their inspiration is British through
and through. Thus far It cannot be main
tained that this art is technically as ad-
vanced or self-reliant as that Of many
corresponding groups of painters on the
continent. When il comes to matters Of
sheer craftsmanship. certain of these
men bear the stamp Of amateurs, yet
they reveal qualities Of sincerity and
single-mindedness which do much toward
compensating for the lack of manipula-
tive dexterity Not the least encouraging
feature of British painting is lis innate
and unaffected charm. There Is some
thing frank and wholesome about artist
life in London and the studios OF Ken
sington and Chelsea which no other COM
munity Of the kind can duplicate. Clus-
tered along the river bank Or surrounded
by gardens. they breathe the strength
and sanity, the sweet dignity and re-
finement Of race which. in things Of
the spirit. is full Of Maytime fragrance

t,797,tt4 Souls.

The figures for MlssissIppt's popula.
tIon, according % the returns OF the
thirteenth census, az made public at

state q total " I,79s,Il4, an increase
OF 235. sli, or 1j.s per cent over the

1890 To 1900 was 26l $40, or 20 per
cent. On the same day announce.
ment was made that the increase 10
Kentucky's population was but SO
per cent over 1900, and that VI North
Carolina was Is 8 per cent for the
same period.
While the increase in population as
shown In these figures Is gratifying, 1t
Ia fair to assume that the totals are
not correct. The census department
has already admitted that the work 10
this state was very poorly done, princi-
pally, It Is said, through the incom.
petent work OF the negro enumerators.
Granting that the first statement Of
the census bureau, relative to the
bungling manner 10 which the work
had been performed, Is correct, the
assumption that the totals are also
wrong appears justified. Be that as
it may, Mississippi must stand TO the
figures officially given, and the 10.
crease 10 the states population must
show for the next ten years at least
as having been Is per cent over the
population OF 1900. Perhaps the old
state deserves congratulations that
