Care of Canaries.
It is easy to keep the canary in good
health. easier. in fact, than to cure him
after he becomes sick. There would be
but few sick birds if they were properly
taken care of. Many are neglected. and
many are treated with mistaken kind-
nesfs, Their food should be good. and
they should ban-all they want to eat.
The best seeds for them are German
rape or millet. canary seed. and hem ).
the latter in limited quantity. We wou d
not give more than a dozen hemp seeds
daily. Some advise not to use it at all.
but we think it beneficial to a bird when
used in small ipiantities.
t‘lc‘auliuess is all important. Be sure
of this. The cage should be cleaned
daily. and fresh seed given each time.
with clean sand or gravel. Fresh water
should be given for drinking in cups
which are arranged ‘in such a manner
that the bird cannot foulthcm. That for
bathing should be in a shallow dish like
.a saucer. and as soon as the bird has
; bathed the dish should be removed. A
great many lei-sons place such, a vessel
of water in t e cage and obli re the bird
to use it to bathe in and rink from.
This should never be done. The bird
wants just as pure. clean water to drink
as any person does. and he will not keep
in health if obliged to drink impure
water. A piece ofcuttlediab bone should
be kept in his cage. and a raw apple.

A Child‘s llalr Turning White.
There lives in Troy. 110.. a girl about
eight years old whose hair is almost an
iron grav and is steadily growing graycr.
The indications are that long before
she reaches womanhbod her once raven
black hair will‘havc become snow white.
About three yearsago she was frightened
almost into convulsions by a tire in her
part of the town.
. The morning after the fire the mother
noticed a change in the child‘s hair. It
has been cut off many times in the vain
hope that new hair would come in black.
but the grs ' hairs continue to increase,
and she vvill soon have on her young
shoulders as white a head of hair as an
old woman of seventy.
Blind Poisons Notice Obstructions.

“when a blind boy was walking toward
me, and just as he came opposite I put
it my hand before his face. It brought

rho Habitable Area or the Globe
and the Possibilities of
Over-Population—Some
Curious Facts.
During the last fifty years the civilized
nations of the globe have taken much
ins to determine the number of their
3 inhabitants and the character and extent
inf the industries in which they are en~
i Eaged. For the following statements we
i are consulted the most recent accessible
‘ authorities and estimates:
THE nam‘u‘s LAND SURFACE.
The earth has about forty‘eight mill-
ions of square miles of land surface, and
i sixteen millions of these square miles are
. well adapted to the needs of settled pop-
‘ ulations, and portions ofthe vast remain—
dor may be occupied by the nomads for
i pasture lands and by game. To people
‘the sixteen millions of square miles as
densely as Belgium. Saxony and Eng-
: land are \t‘nlllt‘il. say 300 persons to the
' st uare mile. would require a population
I of 0.400 millions. or smiiewbat more than
t four times the present population of the
lentiro globe. The l'nitcd States and
Territories. if as dcnscly populated as
llclgiuill. would contain a population
‘ equal to the present population of the
lworld. namely. til‘lccu hundred millions.
.Thc State of Texas alonc. if as dcils‘cly
peopled as Massacliuselts. would have a
population equal to the present popular
tion of our whole country. Few realize
that Texas is a third larger than France.
The question of the iarth becoming
overpcopled has alarmed some writers.
-‘ but there are reasons for believing that
this is an cvn-cdingly improbable dun.
gcr. The more intelligent and enlight»
cued a nation becomes the lcss rapid is
its increase in the number of children.
The tendency is to smaller families. and
as fili' race is steadily improving the ln-
3, crease in its llllllll ers will be proportion-
‘atcly less. Our blast thinkers haw nu
fears that. population .will ever exceed
. the number which can t omfortably sub-
. sist upon the earth‘s products. Ad

l‘ul‘lTl..\‘l‘1\|N or 11”: WORLD.
The present population of the world is
1.500.000.1100. and it is increasingto day
at the rate of 124100.000 a year. Forty
years ago the estimate of the number of
[the world‘s inhabitants was 1,000,000..
000. llcttcr modes of life and the facil~
« itics with which food products are trans.
lportcd everywhere have not only much
increased the. average duration of human
2 ifc. but so lessened the death rate in the
better care of children that population
i is steadily increasing. It is now gener-
‘iilly believed that the population of the
Chiucso Empire has lll‘t'll overestimated.

There are now 750 cities and towns in
‘this country having a population of
l 1.000 and upward, and nearly one~third
l of our entire population amides in these
cities and towns. In 1880 there were
* 580 towns which had a population each
of 4.000 and upward. Over I.‘.‘00 cities.
villages and smaller places now have
public waterworks. and a majority of
thorn gasqvorks also. Public improve-
ments and conveniences of this class
have grown up almost entirely within
the past thirty years.
FAMILIES 13 Till: l'm'rm) STATES.
The gradual decrease in the average
number of persons composing a family
in the United States is as follows: In
1350 the number of persons to a familv
averaged 5 56—100, in 1860 the average
was 5 28-100. in 1870 it was 5 9400.
while in 1880 it had fallen to 54-100.
To-day five persons may be taken as the
average number for each family, and
the number of families is twelve milb
ions. In 1880 we had one million more
families than houses, showing that one
million houses were occupied by two
families each. ‘
ran wom‘s burn RATE.
The ave annual death rate of the
world is 32 or ever 1,000 rsons. The
average death rate or the ending cities
of the United States is 29* in every 1,000
persons. Old cities like Paris. Vienna
and Berlin atpproach the world‘s ave

of human beings is nearly 50.000.000.
During the time-«an hour and three-
fourths-of an ordinary Sunday morning
church service about 10,000 persons die.
Inthc hours of a single day the number
of deaths in the human family equals that
of the population of a city like Detroit.
In one week's time as many die as make
the number of people in Cook County.
The time waging between one new

A Story of Bishop Simpson.
An incident showing his g.fts is 1'0-
latcd by his uncle. Late one Saturday
night he arrived at a town in the album
tziinous regions of Pennsylvania. where he
was a total stranger. The nest morning
he made his my to the Methodist
t‘burch and accosted the pastor. telling 3
him he was a brother in the ministry. “
Simpson being c\trclncly awkward and
plain in appearance. the pastor was half
inclined to omit the courtesy due a
liur a sermon. If he inquired of the
Bishop as to his name he must have failed g
to citch it. for he certainly had no idea
to win in he was speaking. “is rc-plc~t '
for the strangi-r to preach was expressed
in the mmt formal and constrained mam
ui-r. The stranger readily agreed to fill -
the pulpit. and the lutator‘s chagrin was 7
evident. as he resigned himself to his
fate. The Bishop preached our of his
powerful sermons. and everybody in the :
audience whispered to his neighbor: ;
“Wh i is lll‘f“ Before he had taken his ‘
seat the pastor had him by the hand:
"What did you sav your name was?“
“Simpson." "Whatl Not the Bishop}H .
u'l‘liat is what they call me." The min~ .
i~ter instantly sprang to his feet and .
shouted. “You have just had the ‘
privilege of listening to Bi~hop Simpson.

blessings flow.‘ “-— American .Ilaoact'ne.
