ELIZABETH ISLAND.
Its Curious Little Colony of Geological
 Total Abstainers.

Its Curious Little Colony of Geological
 Total Abstainers.
 Recent investigations on the little known and rarely visited Henderson or Elizabeth island have led to the discovery of complete and curious little colony of geological total abstain CTS.
 The island. which is uninhab bited, is situated about 12O miles northeast of Pitcairn island><itself sufficiently out of the way. but famous as the home of the u descendants of fhe mutineers of the Bounty.
 There is no water on it, not even a swamp, and it is only six miles long. yet it harbors quite menagerie--a kind of rat. lizard. described as very abundant and no fewer than four kinds of birds. all peculiar to the is land. These are fruit pigeon, lori keet or honey eating parrakeet, little rail or crake and a reed warbler.
 The strange thing about the inmates of this curious little natural aviary of coral rock. surrounded by waves in. stead of wires. is that two of its inmates are birds. one especially associated with fresh water-the rail and the war bier. These. like the rest, must do without drinking unless the dew can slake their thirst or they have acquir- ed toleration for sea water as bev- erage-Argonaut.

There are no means of estimating the increase in the earth's population. owing to the paucity of statistics and the compara- lively recent date at which any sort of statistics were possible.

cANADA's COST OF LIVING.

Only a few years ago Canada was admitted to be one of the cheapest places on the continent in which to live. Now it is alleged that it is the dearest place in Christendom. Sir Wilfred Laurier, former premier, and leader of the Liberal party, is us ing the cost of living as the chief issue in his campaign for the re duction of the Canadian tariff Can ada imports annually 5000, 900, ,000 worth of breadstuffs, more than $5,- 500,O00 worth of tea. $16,5OO, 900 worth of sugar, and S4,0OO, ,000 worth of oth- CT food stuffs.
 The former premier in starting his campaign for free imports says that ing has increased only seven per cent in Great Britain, where there is free trade, and 51 per cent in Canada. He says the figures are more amazing in view of the fact, that Canada produces annually 100000 900 bushels of wheat, while the local consumption is only 50,000,000 bushels. Great Britain has to import all the wheat she uses, and yet the price of bread is cheaper in England than it is in Canada.
 The Canadians rejected the reel procity agreement adopted by con- gress in Mr. Taft's administration but the increased cost of living has led Sir Wilfred and his party associates to make another battle for lower ing of the tariff walls. It is not un-- likely that the issue will return the Liberals to power before long.-.Ex.

PIDGIN ENGLISH.
Language Used In Shops and Homes In Chinese Ports,

Language Used In Shops and Homes In Chinese Ports.
 In Shanghai in all shops one finds Chinese familiar with English, but often using much pidgin English. "Pidgin" Is supposed to be derived from several changes on the word "business," which was first shortened to "busin." then through the form of ''pishin" and finally became "pidgin." Pidgin English is the language used in trade and households in the ports of China, where the Chinese and foreign CTS deal with one another. It is sim
 liar in its origin to the mixture of Ian guages known as Lingua-Franca in the Levant and in other parts of the Med iterranean. It is direct translation of Chinese into English and strictly idiomatic. For instance. they say. That book. pay my" instead of Give me the book"
 The Chinese tailors speak fluently in this odd English. An American lady went to a Chinese tailor in Shanghai to see him regarding putting feather in- terlining in a huff. The tailor seemed a trife daZed as to what she wanted and said, "B'long allo same chicken fur?" He wanted to prove his inten. ton of treating his customer right and told her. My b'long allo same you. you b'long allo same my-b'long my vely good flend." and later. wishing to ocly oftor opo of tho loHv's dauphtnrS remarked. Miss A.. have catchee mas- ter?"

Will Be Your Condition?
 Actuaries say that of each thousand men living at the age of twenty 500 will still be alive at sixty-fve. Econ. omists declare that of the 500 living at sixty-five 200 will be i'll want; that eight-ninths of the pauperism in Amer ica is among people who have passed this same age of sixty-five.
 A man is, of course. sometimes brought to want in old age through accident, through continued illness of himself or his family, through dozen and one mischances against which even the wisest is helpless adequately to provide. In spite of this. however, there are certain tried and proved rec ipes by which young man may guar antee at least the probability that he will not be found among the unfortu- nate 200 after the age of sixtyfive.
 Avoidance of wasteful. destructive habits; thrift, economy, the practice of spending habitually less than one earns, the habit of study, which in creases ones usefulness and earning power-such are a few of the stable qualities which distingu:>h n the young man approaching an independent old age from the one approaching a con- dition of want Stand the actuary's thousand men in row, divide them into two groups. the one possessing the habits and qualities noted above and the other lacking them, and there would be little difficulty in telling from which group will come the POO and from which the 3OO.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
