 Yes. I see.' and picked up pen cil How about Mercury? Some thing like this
 He sketched rapidly the figure of the messenger of Olympus, winged sandals, winged cap, symbolic staff and all. The advertising man looked it over apprOVingly.
 Seems all right" he commented. But what does it mean? Who's Mercury"
 "Oh, Mercury? He was the speed jest thing that ever lived,' the artist declared Mercury was the god of speed, you, know
 But the advertising manager gave one long refretful look at the sketch and shook his head.
 "Too bad" he murmured sadly. "Tood bad; I like it's looks, but 1t won't do. It won't do, young man We can't get mixed up with any ones religion like that!"-Phladelph Led ger

28,162,93 in 1911. While rural is about 100000 less than sixty years ago, urban is more than three times as great as it was in 1851.
 The percentages of urban and rural sixty years ago were 50.2 and 49 s For 1911 the figures were 7S.1 and 21.9 While there has been no great change in rural pOpu- lation, the growth of cities has been remarkable. It is manifest that English people must largely depend upon the outside world for what they eat
 Increase of population in England and Wales during the decade from 1901 to 1911 was 10 S9 per cent For practically the same period increase in the United States was 21 per cent; in Germany, 15.2; Italy. 6. 8; Norway, 6S; Switzerland 1.6; Canada, 34 1; New Zealand, 3O5. The rate of in crease in England and Wales for the last ten years is the lowest since 1901.

The decrease rate of growth is not due, it is asserted to a falling in the birth rate but entirely to an excess of emigration over immigration In the period of 1S71-1SS1 the excess of emigration over immigration amount ed to over 164,0O0 persons; in the next decade to over 6OO,O00; and in the following ten years 1891-19O1, it fell to 6S,000. but rose to over 5OO.O0O persons in 1901-1911
 With so many emigrating and with urban population so great it is re- markable that the population of Eng land and Wales keeps on increasing. The revised figures of the 1911 cen sus show there were 36,O7O,492 per sons in those countries. There were 1907 ,660 families with an average of A persons to the family. Besides the families there were resident in in stitutions 1,294,0O0 persons. The average number of persons to the square mile was SIS.

TRAMP PROBLEM IN ENGLAND

The tramp problem in England IS in a fair way of solution The way ticket" method of dealing with va grancy is d capital idea accomplish ing the revolution. The latest reports on the working of the system indi- cates that within d few years the ranks of the ragged mendicants will be reduced almost to vanishing point. The object of the way ticket
 is to give a better chance to the un- employed who really want work anu to make the way of the professional tramp as hard as possible. The man who wants to work, but is compelled to take to the road, is taken int" the poorhouse at night and released next morning instead of suffering the usual period of detention. When leaN- ing he is given a ticket, which en- titles him to certain allowance or bread and cheese along the road he intends to take He is also put in touch with the local labor exchanges and everything possible is done for him if he shows a genuine desire to obtain work On the other hand, the habitual tramp obtains short shrltt After spending the night at the poor house he suffers the usual period of detention and gets the allotted task Finally he is given the way ticket" so that he has no excuse for begging Very soon the poor house. masters begin to look askance ar the man who consistently presents the ticket. and his journey from Nil- lage to village and from pOorhouse to pcorhouse in the counties where the system prevails is not made any too smooth The tramp finally seeks county where this method does not prevail. The system only becomes successful when the householders CO., operate-New Orleans Picayune.

THE EMPRESS

The increased attendance at the Empress theater is a flattering testi- monial of the growing appreciation of the work of the DetriCh Stock com pany There can be no better ve- hicle for the display of the histrionic talent of all members of the cast at one time, than The Man on the BOX," which will be seen tonight for the last time. It is a fine test of the company's capability and it has stood the test most admirably. It presents other bills with equal eff ficiency but this play is particularly good n that honors are divided. The company may safely rest it's claim to local fame on it's present work and if there be doubters who have yet failed to avail themselves of their opportunity to enjoy standard. high clas productions at popular prices they will be the losers if they do not visit the Empress tonight
 Miss Adams is splendid in the role of leading lady whose hand is sought by both the young lieutenant and the foreign cOnspirator Bainbridge of course is the hero who saves the day, the man on the box. while MT Derrick pOrtrays the part of the dig nified but engulfed colonel with dig nifty an q striking naturalness. Miss Bolton as the hero's sister has a vivacious and interesting part which she handles decidedly we'll and indeed there is ample opportunity for every member of the company to appear to advantage and none of them are asleep at the switch. Tomorrow night the company will offer "Cozy Cor ners." a new and promising play

AT THE CARABET SHOW

For a few moments the orchestra with dulcet wall of cello and violin. held the attention of those at the tables. then the Cabaret singer step ped out upon the soft red carpet, says the East Side Magazine
 Against the mirrored wall al d small table sat a young chap with his wife The eyes of his wife fol- lowed his quick admirng glances at the singer.
 She began to sing Daddy" sweep ing the crowd with her long, soft glance. selecting her victim for the chorus.
 She advanced toward the couple. She stood by the husband, pressed her rosy perfumed cheek upon his hair and began to sing.
 The young wife flushed crimson IS she watched her husband in this del icate embrace, the crowd applauded and the Cabaret singer, leaving him, went from one to the other of the men, some bald. some young, singing the chorus of Daddy"
 The young wife sighed as the flash ing eyes of her husband followed the singer
 Shall we go home?" she asked presently
 Not yet" he implored.
 q wish I could go home" she re- peated by and by My baby is cry ing for me. I know he is. 1 wish I could go home"
 The song finished, the singer ran into the dressing room and threw herself into the arms of the old negress half asleep there.
 She began to cry softly.
 The negress patted her Whlte shoulder.
 Whats de mattah. honey?' she purred
 q want to go home," the singer sobbed q am sick of that song I am sick of these men. My baby is crying for me. I know he is. l want to go home!"

THE YOUTH OF WOMAN

In some places age Is a matter of years Elsewhere there is an eXcep-
 tion in the case of woman, and it is conceded that she is no older than she looks Boston holds to the more
 chivalrous principle that a woman re mains young woman until she de- clares herself to be old and steps
 of her own accord from out the ranks of youth. This rule is a credit to the city and especially to the Boston
 Young Womens Christian association, where it is officially in force.
 Now in Chicago, for example, the Young WOmens Christian associa-
 tion has just established rule that when a young woman passes the age of 25 she ceases to be a young Wo- man and shall no longer be sheltered under the roof of the association among women who are really young We are not running an old ladies' hOme,' remarks one of the Chicago officials Old ladies at 25. forsooth! But what can you expect of Chicago. In other cities the age when Wo- man leaves youth behind her varies from 25 to 35 In Baltimore it is 25. in Cleveland il is 30 In Cincinnati. Pittsburg. Philadelphia, New Haven and Brooklyn, to mention a few more humane and advanced cities. the as sociations require their roomers to find quarters elsewhere when they pass 35 But here in Boston no ar bitrary dead line has been establish ed. A roomer in the big, homelike institution on Berkeley street may re- main indefinitely after the thirtieth or thirty fifth milestone has been passed, though it is true that new roomers are not commonly taken who confess to more than 30 years.
 The youth of woman is growing longer throughout the civilized world. Most women of 8 are now younger than their grandmOthers were at 30. Woman's greater activity and expert
 ence in the social system, her vision of a broader life her increasing years in school. her later age of marrying, youth. Styles of dress have much to do with it also But it is far more than matter of appearance. She keeps her compelling interest, her temperamental joy in youthful things and her capacity for romance to an age when the woman of an earlier generation had settleed down to her knitting in the corner by the fire
 place. The person who has not ob- served this in the changed character of popular novels can observe it in more interesting form by looking about him anw day.-Boston Herald.
