What the World's Population Would Po.
If we reckon the population of the
globe at one thousand two hundred mill-
ions of human beings there would be
room for therq all on the frozen surface
of the lake of Constance (Switzerland),
and the crush would not be so very great
either, as there would be a space four
feet square for each person. If the ice
were to break, and the whole human
race were thus to sink into the watery
grave, tho level of the lake would only
be raised six,inches.—London Tit -Bits.

Row to be Identified.
There is no source of annoyance to
a travelling man so great, remarked
one of the fraternity the other even-
ing, as the necessity to which we are
frequently put of securing men to
identify us when we desire to cash
drafts or money orders. We are, all
of us, annoyed and embarrassed at
such times, and I never saw any
bcheme to do' away with the difficulty
until ono day last week in Des D'loines,
Ia.
After dinner a friend of mine said
to me : Come down to the bank a
minute. Want to show ' you some-
thing.
We went down and he remarked to
the paying teller
