City statisticians, official and un
 official, will be relieved of a great
 strain when the census reports oi
 1910 are in. Some of them may not
 be altogether satisfied with the re
 turns, but the present pace Is too hot
 for comfort, and any change Is desir
 able. With all the claiming no ap
 proach to accuracy is now possible. A
 rapidly growing town gives evidence
 of its growth in many ways, but there
 is no substitute for count. Even census bureau estimates prove nothing and many other estimates are merely wild guesses which vary according to the wishes and temperament of the statistician. A new resident in one of the booming cities of the far West was told upon his arrival that the later he learned that 1t had jumped to 350,000. At this rate the place should be the second city in the coun. try by the time the census is taken. But confidence in its predictions Is not conspicuous among its rivals They reserve all their enthusiasm for their own sober and conservative cal culations. It is interesting to observe that the spirit of prophecy has also invaded the Atlantic coast and that. a very good article in the booming line Is now doing business in New York Time was when New York affected su. periority to mere size. Now we are informed from that quarter that "no more definite index of city's pros perity could exist than the increase in her population" We are given to un derstand further that the estimated population for 1909 is 4,564.T92. This would mean an increase of nearly a third in nine years Another compar. ison shows that there has been an increase of more than 550.000 in four years. For yearly estimate we have 125,000. Possibly the largest estimates are not exaggerated. It is undoubted- ly a fact that New York has been growing rapidly. It has accumulated wealth at a remarkable rate, and its building record is most impressive. The actual increase of the population, however, Is a matter of speculation. And If the count. next year confirms the prophets it will prove that the percentage of increase for a city of the size of New York Is unprece dented.

TO KILL RED AND BLACK ANTS.
Carbon Bisulphide Has Ohicial Rec ommendntiOn as an ExterminatOr.

Carbon BisuIphide Has Ohicial Rec
 ommendation as an Exterminator.
 w. w. Skinner, of the Arizona agri- cultural experiment station, some lime ago sent out this information on most troublesome pest:
 Ants, the large red and black varie- ties which burrow into the ground. may be killed comparatively easily by the use of carbon bisulphide, liquid chemical of a peculiar, disagreeable odor.
 To be entirely successful, however, tho habits of the ants must be taken into consideration. Immediately after . rain is the accepted time to attempt their destruction, for 1t Is then that the ants are very active, bringing out Into the sun to be dried any of their Itored-up food supply which may have become damp.
 A half teacupful-more If the nest Is very large one-of the carbon bi- sulphide poured into the nest at this time will accomplish the result. The ground being damp and cool is an other decided advantage in that 1t prevents the too rapid absorption or Yolatization of the carbon bisulphide; consequently a less quantity of the chemical is required.
 word of caution in the use of the carbon bisulphide Is deemed necessary It must at all times be borne in mind that the substance is highly inf1amma- ble and under certain conditions ex- plosive. Matches. pipes, etc. are to be left at home when this chemical Is to be used. The carbon bisulphide can be procured from any druggist, and costs 50 cents per pound. but can be bought for much less wholesale.
 T. is probable that the remedy is not practicable on a very large scale. owing to the cost of material but it frequently happens that these ants se- lect for their home, from our point of view. most undesirable places, such as public walks, or near ones door. In such cases sure means of eradicat- ing the pest Is well worth knowing.- Kansas City Star.

SOME MARRIED ADAPTATIONS.
By Clarence L. Cullen.
~0~~~~~~oo


 The oftener some women get di vorced, the more marked becomes the bland innocence of their. baby-stare.
 What no man can understand: Why women should be so gay and chattery al funeral and so sad and weepy at wedding
 Sure-enough males can spot a young fellow who has been reared exclusively by his mother as far as they can see him through a fog and then some.
 A man will forgive anything in a woman possessed of a sense of humor. But men are not called upon to do much forgiving of that particular kind.
 Another infallible way to start some thing is to remark, offhandedly, to a fiint-faced suffragette person that you don't believe one woman in hundred wants to vote.
 Does it or doesn't 1t indicate innate cruelty and things when a woman with a houseful of children deliberate ly and almost inadvertently gloats over a childless woman who loves young ones?
 It doesn't take the newly married young fellow long to dope it out that It isn't mere coincidence which always causes his wife to happen" down to his office to take luncheon with him on pay day.
 If there be any truth in the frazzled hromidion that women are by nature more honest than men," why is it that the cleverest professional snug glers are women. and that women will cheat at cards every time they get chance?

sTAMBoUL's SHADOW THEATERs.

MariOnettes Contribute Largely to
 the Amusement of the People.
 Dancing in the coffee houses of the people in Stamboul is only a less com mon form of entertainment during Ramazan than music, a writer in Scribner's says. It Is performed by the gypsy girls, bare-faced, dressed in vivid cotton prints and jingling with sequins. who alone are immodest enough to enter a coffee house.
 A more elaborate form of entertain ment is provided by cafes fortunate enough to possess a court or some large back room. This is the marion cite theater. The Turkish marionettes, known by the name of their star per former, Karaghieuz, are a national in- stitution. In fact, their repertory in cludes almost all there is of a na- tional theater. In common with other Asiatic marionettes, they do not ap- pear in person. The proscenium arch of their miniature stage is filled with a sheet of lighted paper The tiny actors, cleverly jointed together of
 
 the light and the paper, so that their colored shadows are all the public sees. It is enough, however. to offer an amusement worth seeing. The the ater of Karaghieuz would make an in- teresting study in itself, refiecting as it does the manners of the country. Sometimes, indeed. it has reflected fa; fo |. intervention of the censor But Kar- aghieuz himself, or Black-Eye, is al ways amusing, whatever may be his lapses from propriety. This truculent individual reminds enc Of Punch, al though he is said to be a caricature Of a veritable person, one of Saladins viziers. He is a humpback with a black beard and raucous voice, to whom no enterprise is too difficult or too absurd. He is accompanied by a righthand man, who points his repar- tee and is alternately his dupe and his deceiver. Their adventures and those of the crack-voiced ladies, the wonderful dogs. cats. mice and other creatures that make up the company, create a scene that the spectator of simple tastes willingly revisits. Among the elements of his pleasure must be counted the ill-lighted barrack or tent in which the representations take place, the gayly dressed children com posing the better part of the audience here, for once, ladies are allowed the loquacious vendors of sweets and and the music of pipe and | drum to the accompaniment of which | the little colored shadows play on their lighted paper.

nursaI~ at Jerusalem.

Until about fifty years ago Chris tians in Jerusalem. and Franciscans as we'll. were buried without coffin. the latter simply in the habit of the order. At the grave the hood of the deceased was sewed shut over the face. and thus he was bedded in the earth The for mer burial place of the Catholics was fin the valley of the Cedron alongside the Garden of Gethsemane. at the foot of the Mount. of Olives. where the Jews are still buried to-day.
 Only a century ago new church yard was laid out on Mount Zion, the place where King David and his sue cessors are still buried The exact spot is unknown. although many at tempts have been made to find It. An old tradition says that about the fifth century some workmen accidentally penetrated this vault They looked in and saw the magnificent sarcophagi. but in trying to enter the chambers of the dead they were repulsed by flames of fire bursting forth from within. The frightened workmen closed the en- trance to the vault, the exact location of which has been forgotten.
