When the World Is Filled.

A member of the Royal Geographic
society in England estimates that the
fertile lands Of the globe amount to
2s.OOOOOO square miles, the steppes to
100000, and the deserts to 100000.
Fixing POT persons to the square mile
for fertile lands, ten for. steDpes and
one for deserts as the greatest popu-
lation that the earth could properly
nourish, he arrives at the conclusion
that when the number Of inhabitants
reaches about 6,OOO,OO0,0OO our planet
will be peopled to it's full capacity.
If the rate of increase shown by
recent census statistics should be uni-
formly maintained, it Is shown that
the globe would be fully peopled
about the year 2O72. But such calcu-
lations do not allow for unknown
sources Of error, and therefore cannot
be taken too literally.

There's a Difference.

Few people of the United States can
play games. Many can contest a game
for the satisfaction Of beating an ad-
versary, or to get exercise, but actual
Il to play a game Is different matter.
Sporting editors. judging by their writ
ings. must be the most serious of men,
and their earnestness Is often anus
ing. The defeat of college football
team recently called forth a lugubrlous
utterance from a correspondent who
evidently felt that the educational In
stitution had received blow from
which It's scholastic reputation of a
century and half would hardly be
able to save 1t. The writer asserted
that the football trainers of this insti-
tuition were paid insuficiently, and,
after taking the authorities to task,
reached his climax in these significant
words: "a young, inexperienced coach
has heen asked to assume the respon-
sibility of the team, who could be
hired at salary no greater than the
average professor in the college re-
cetves." In the present state OF
American school athletic affairs this
might be considered an extremely high
compliment.-Christian Science Mon

ADAM AND EVE GO SHOPPING
Writer Has Drawn Literally on His.
Imagination in Describing Re.
markable Excursion.

Let us imagine our scapegoat an
cestors attempting an e1even-o'clock
stroll through Drang's ten-story de-
partment store. Can we not hear the
tense CALCULATIONS Of our first mother
before the mountains Of unknown
things, woods, satins, silks, challies,
organdies and muslins, piled ceiling
high before her? Even Adam, who
has reputation as manner Of things,
might we'll drop all his Mlltonic airs
Of superiority, and say for once in
some dainty form of Edenic language,
"Eye, dear, I certainly am out OF
soundlngs. I can find names easily
enough for birds, beasts and fishes,
but all this with gesture Of meek
hopeleesness) sis out Of my zone. Yet
I am sure it Is all intended for your
sex; for I'm thinking no pan would
gear himself up in any Of this
duff1e"-if one may help him to a
word.
Then Eve, If true to her old Edenic
form, would retort:
"But Adam, dear. you can't deny
that 1t Is all most tempting, and am
going to pick out right away some Of
that soft, cloudy stuff, the color OF a
sunrise; Pm sure 1t would be muck
,prettier. than fig leaves for dress

WAS NOT HIS LUCKY DAY
Trolley Car Patron Got Into Trouble
When He Attempted to Get
Away With Umbrella.

Young Bob Mcintosh had always
prided himself on his honesty and up
rightness, but it was rainy night
when he saw an umbrella apparently
deserted on seat In the trolley car.
He picked 1t up and examined 1t. 1t
could not be very valuable, tt was
hardly worth while turning 1t In to
the motorman Of the one-man car and
the walk from the trolley to the
home of young Bob Mcintosh was a
good four blocks liz the pouring rain.
As the car neared the street, says
the New York Sun, the honest young
man looked around and seeing that
none Of his fellow passengers was
noticing him he picked up the um-
orella and walked up to the motor
mans platform. There with the glib
ness of one. with a guilty conscience
he conyersed with the pilot until the
ear drew up at his street.
"Well, good night" said young Bob
Mcintosh as he lightly stepped from
the car and raised his umbrella.
"Good night" quoth the motorman,
but as Bob Rade his way across pud-
dies to the curb he noticed that the
car had not continued on It's way; in
deed, even the door had not yet been
closed. He had started down the
street to his home when a mighty
"Hey!" made him turn.
W'How far are you goin' to go with
that umbrella, young MANI" shouted
the motorman. "Thls time it hap
pened to be mine." said that worthy
rs he slammed the door seut and shot
the car forward.

We only laughed to see the rain beat

Another day we tried to put dull care

And reveled building castles Of the

And from the heights looked down on

No quest more fair and golden
Could kindred hearts embolden

But love waits not for taking
When worlds are in the making

alaekbird Fed Injured Thrush.

A lover Of birds who keeps fo6d and
water out for them at all times, liv-
ing d few miles from Wymore, Neb.,
reports for some time she had been
noticing the peculiar actions Of a
blackbird and thrush which. had been
coming to eat regularly, and always
together. Upon investigation, she saw
that the blackbird fed the thrush, pick
ing up bits of food and putting them
into the mouth Of the other bird ex-
actly as. robin putting food into the
mouths of her young. Closer inves-
tigation showed that the bill Of the
thrush has been broken off close to
its head. 1t was unable to feed itself,
and the blackbird had befriended 1t.
