contains the following statement: Census
age figures are very seriously affected by
the women who understate their ages
and this understatement carries into the
age period from fifteen to nineteen years
many women who should be In the older
age periods Among men there Is proo-
ably no corresponding tendency and hence
in the age period fifteen to nineteen the
women outnumber the men, though at all
other qunquennial age periods below
seventy-five years there are more men
than women. This understatement OF age
means that certain women, older than
twenty-one years of age, appear In the
statistics as children. Exactly how many
such cases there may be it is, of course
impossible to say. but the number prob
ably does not greatly exceed $4,000"
The country apparently, still remains
the breeding place for the cities. De-
spite the marked shift of population from
the rural districts to the cities. the ma
iority of the children under fifteen years
OF age are to be found in the country

the terrible pressure Of his life bore more
heavily upon him. The first letters are
signed "Buonaparte" in tolerably clear
though grabbed script that is easy enough
to read. Then he dropped the "u' from
the word, signing himself "Bonaparte.
This signature continued until he was
made Emperor, when Napoleon took
its place.
But the writing of this word expended
time beyond the fiery autocrats patience,
and all letters. military orders, proclama-

THE NEGRO CHILDREN.

More than nine-tenths of the negro chill

would expect to find. The South is still
the land of the pickaninny. In eastern
and central states, as one also would eX-
pect TO discover, dwell a great part of the
children of foreign birth or foreign par
entage, there being more than four-fifths
of the whole number in this region. New
England is more seriously threatened
with mixed population than any other
part of the country. Almost three out Of
every five children m this part of the
United States were either themselves born
or had one or both parents who were born
in a foreign country. The Middle Atlantic
States ranked next with a little more
than two out of every five, but in every
other section the native children of native
parents We're in the majority. In this re-

ONE OF HIS HATS.

Another hat is in the small crypt
beside the Emperors tomb at the In
valides. 1t was worn on the 7th, Sth
and 9th OF February, 1907, at Eyiau,
and is the very one that is pictured IN
Gross colossal painting of the battle. AT
Gross death the hat was sold for some
thing over two frapcs to DR.. DeiacrolA'
who presented it TO Louis Philippe, who
ordered it to be placed with the Austerlltz
relics after the Emperor's second funeral
| Still another hat is in museum AT
Gotha. But the striking thing about
them is that, like Napoleons signatures,
| they dwindle in Importance and size as
his life advances. His hat worn as First
Consul is tall and imposing. His nrsc
hats when Emperor are less so. Gradu-
ally they take a descending scale, becom-
ing smaller and slouchier as time anu

The letters by and concerning Napoleon

NEW way of looking at the United
~ States has just been discovered AT
L n Washington by Miss Julia I.
Lathrop. A great deal OF thought ana
energy have been spent upon the effort TO
get a look at ourselves from the point OF
view of our natural resources. Men with
busy pencils have figured how much coal
we discharge up the chimney i'm gas and
remove from the CRATES and sift on the
ash heaps They have consulted with the
biologists and guessed how long II VIII
take to do this with all the black fuel In
the bowels of the earth; how long 1t Will
require to smelt the ores and put them TO
the service of man in the form Of rail-
roads and bridges and buildings. Men
have sought an exact knowledge OF the
quantity of corn and oats and wheat, or
horses and cattle. and of all the other
products which the farmer raises. because
they wish to know how to speculate on
the produce exchange, or because they
wish to get data with which TO regulate
prices, or because they wish to CLEAN
something of what we are TO be from
knowledge of what we are going to nave
TO eat. Others have stood at the gates OF
Ellis Island, counted the Italians, SlaVs'
Jews. Englishmen, Irishmen, Scotchmen'
Germans. Chinese and Japanese, and
troubled themselves from this angle about
the future of the land of Uncle Sam.

About a month later the trend or mill
itary events proved Napoleon's foresight
in fortifying the town to be a flash OF
genius. for Wurnser advanced from the

lust now the current enthusiasm on the
nbject of Napoleon is receiving a de-
aded impetus. Recently occurred the Tooth
anniversary of the close of the battle OF
Leipsic, which was fought on october Is
and 10, 1873 And there is being prepared
sale Of Napoleona, or Napoleonana, or
Napoleonica, by the American Art AS
soeiation that, in company with one al
the Anderson Galleries, forms the most
remarkable display of letters, prints ana
public documents dealing with the modern
Alexander that has ever been put forth
IN America. Both sales are of pri-
yste collections of Napoleon relics, some
Of which are so rare and so closely con-
nected with Bonaparte's personality that
even those who profess to be interested
n more up-to-date matters must pause
while and consider. One is of the second
part of the private collection Of William

the entire Napoleon collection gathered

interchangeable zeal of Warren {. crane

The Boy and Girl on the Farm.
It is estimated by the United States
Department Of Agriculture that, dur
ing the year 1913, 9l,l96 southern
farm boys each planted an acre Of
corn. During the same year the men,
bers of the girls canning clubs num-
bered $4,000. This includes only the
southern states where these contests
are carried on under government sup
|ervision. During the current month
hundreds of these boys and girls, FIVE
hundred from Ohio alone, are visiting
Washington, where the granting Of a
diploma from the Secretary Of Agri-
culture is combined with sight-see-
ing trip.
The Virginia champion boy corn
grower, Frank G. Brockman, Of AM
herst, Virginia, more. than repaid the
Department of Agriculture for the
time, labor and money spent on the
club of which he was member when
he raised one hundred and sixty-sev
bushels of corn on an acre. It cost
twenty three and half cents bush
ell. So did Hosea D. Cornwell, of New
man, Illinois, when he captured the
title of champion boy corn raiser Of
the Northern and Western states FOR
1913 His Weld was one hundred and
fifty bushels, twenty-five and two
tenths pounds to the acre.

nence. She made q profit of $107.4O
from one-tenth Of an acre of tomatoes
and sent the State Fair Of Tennessee
the best fresh and canned vegetables
on exhibition. She had one hundred
and twenty-six different kinds of can
ned products on display, and she put
up every can herself. When she went
back home she had a thoroughbred
Jersey calf, a cut-glass bowl, five-dol-
lar gold pieces, o fireless cooker, a

Then comes North Dakota boy
with yield Of LOG bushels of corn

in McHenry county secured yield Of
go bushels and Ward county boasts Of
a boy who raised CTS bushels.
These are certainly credible yields
and should be an incentive to the boys
in Ward county to get into the game.
