Already in advance of the taking of
the census next year United States boom -
eters are claiming that it will show a
population of 100,000,000 under the flag.
This estimate is based upon the supp
tion that the enumeration will show 89,-
620,000 people in the United States pro-
per. In 1900 the United(States proper
contained 74,007,225 persons.
.At the Hudson -Fulton celebration in
New York next month Great Britain
*411 be represented by four modern
cruisers, the Inflexible, Drake, Duke of
Edinburgh and Argyle. Great prepara-.
tions are being made for the event, antl
there will be a large representation of
the United States fleet. What a change
in navigation since Fulton's first steam
voyage on the Hudson!
;.aw years ago, C. P. R. lands were
selling at $3 an acre; in 1905 the aver-
age price was $4.80; in 1908 it was
$9.54; and the 1909 sales average about
$12.50. The land sales profits alone for
the hist fiscal year amount to over
000,090. Placing the C. P. It. land hold-
ings at an average of $10 an acre, the
oompany must still hold about $120,000,-
000 worth of laud.
And now it is announced that •Dr.
Salarabrini, of the Pasteur Institute, of
Paris, has discovered a serum which pro-
misee much for the control of cholera:
Ey its use the percentage of the death
rate at St. Petersburg has been reduced
from 50 to 23. If such results have teen
secured already, .it may yet prove to be
to cholera what vaccination is to small-
pox or antitoxin to diphtheria.
Chairman Pierpont, of the London
Menclicity Society, is said to estimate
that the skilled. beggar in that city can
make a larger sum weekly than the
average industrious workingman. He
says more than half a million dollars
are given away annually in casual
charity to London street beggars, most
of it in absolute ignorance of the con-
dition,of the recipients. That is a good
way to increase mendicancy.
Rev. G-. Morrill, of Minneapolis, at-
tended last Sunday's baseball game in
that city, and expressed his approval
of Sunday ball playing. He held a
short religious service before the game,
closing by saying: "I believe the only
sin of Sunday baseball is for the home
team to lose,so I say to the Minneapolis
boys, go in and climb a notch toward
the flag." How prone we are to regard
success as justifying any given course!
But, by the wa)r, what about the visi-
tors? ALIA they be Classed as unpardon-
able sinners?

One result of the decision of the Den-
ver Canners' convention in favor of
chemically "embalmed" foods is that
packers of pure foods which do not need
"entbalmittg" will have a great prefer-
enee in the markets of the world. If
the Canadian packers really appreciate
the advantages which they have In this
matter, they should use every means
of publicity to inform the public, not
only of Canada, but of Great Britain
and continental couetriee of the differ-
ence between the Canadian product and
goods which require salicylic acid, ben-
zoate of soda, formaldehyde, and other
"embalming" agents to "hold" them till
they get to the customers.

Was he to answer, when down down in
his heart lurked all tho while the eager
wish that Lady Gerteude would say no
to his offer?
"There is nothing between Lady Mel-
rose stud me," he /laid, coldly. "If you
say you will bear my name, I shall take
you at yeur word, and carry out iny
part of the agreement."
"It is enough, then," she said, quietly.
"Further than this I merely wish to have
a full explanation with you. It is my
right however unusual the proceeding
may be."
"1 bog you will fully discuss the mat-
ter," he said.
"Permit lee to reheerse the events that
led to the firat engagement."
"Whatever you please," he replied.
"Before there was any thought of love
between you, and Drtui. March, you paid
ma inch attention as gave me the right
to believe that you wished a more inti-
mate relation."
"I did not so mean it; but I ad-
mit that such a construction eould fairly
be pieced on my conduce toward you."
"Afterward you met Erna Marble, and
became infatuated with her. It is said
you 'made her an offee of marriage and
was rejected by her. I do not ask if it
is true, for t have no right to ask any-
thing of you."
"Nevertheless," he answered, coldly, "I
will Answer. It is all true, as you have
stated it."
"After that," Lady Gertrude went on,

thet it was your name, and that only,
whielt you were offering. That is true,
is it not?" •
"Quite true; but I cannot see the use
of going over these things which art:
past, and are better buried."
"They shall be buried," she replied;
"but there le a present Use in doing as
I do. The wedding day came, and with
it Erna Mareh—Lady Melrose then—
with a inessage which took you frora me.
I *as angry—justifiably so, I think;
though it was in bad taste, and I should
never be so guilty again. I gave you
back your liberty and left you. After-
ward you followed Lady Melrose from
the house, end had some conversation
with her, which I can only guess at. I
presume that, for some reason good in
her eyes, he again rejected you."
The earl was at once pained and in-
dignant
"You are partly right," he answered,
warmly. "1 dia love Erna with all
my heart and soul. I at that time
begged her to hear my plea for her love.
She answered me by pointing .eut iny
clear duty,"
A sneer curled the red lips of Lady
Gertrude.
"It ie just as I thought, then. She
gave you to me. You came intok and re-
newed your offer to my father. By
that time I, too, understood the situp,-
tton better. 1 keew I should be a dis-
credited woman in the Oes of the world
if the engagement Were not renewed."
"1 did all I could," the earl said, "to
make your position what it should be."
"Yes; but, unfortunately, more than
a mere engagement must be between
us?, she went on. "I must be your wife.
And this is the end of ray words. I
must marry you but I will not hese
any deception between us. I not only do
nct love you, but I hate you. I shall
not pretend to anything in public, and
demand of you that only the most per-
funetory relations exist between us un-
til we are married."
The earl bit his Hp. It was a situation
he .could r.ot alter. Lady Gertrude had
ea presented the case that he was bound
in honor to marry her; and yet his
whole soul revolted against iuch a un-
ion.
"It is not a pleasing prospect," he
Said; "but I admit your right to make
such terries; and I agree to them. I sup-
pose there is nothing more to be said."
'IA very little," she answered, a
gleam of triumph showing in her eyes.
"I mug take the unusual course of ask-
ing you to fix a day for the wedding."
"Perhitps you have a plar, of your
own," he said, ironipally. Ile could not
treat her altogether as he would any

The earl kliew it was true; .but it was
revolting to hear his future wife so
coolly canvassing it.
"What day have you set?" he de-
manded.
"On the twentieth of next month,"
she replied, retedily, "lust will be in
thtee weeks from to -day."

The one thing which puzzled the old
lady mom then any other was the re-
lation, or, to put it properly, the leek
of relation between Erna and the Bali
of Aubrey.
There wae no doubt whetover that
Erna loved the earl, and still less doubt
that he love a her. My, nem inOW'
that there were no olestaeles a any
sort, 'did not the earl come to claim
her. The gaod,lady had almost a mind
to -svrito to the earl. Then
suddenly came the announcement
of his re-engagement to Lady
Gertrude, together with the
&awes of surprise at each other. Lord

Lady Roraley was only humitri: She
wished to see how Erna evoulsl take
this bit of news. She sought her in the
library, where Erna spent a great deal
of her time in the company of her
books.
"My dear," said the old lady, "here
is something you may be interested in."
"Yes?" said Erna, looking up with a
smile, which had lost none of its Charm
and witchery; though it was not char-
acterized by a,n utter lack of coquetry.
"It is the announcement of the re-en-
gageraent (14 Lord Aubrey and Lady Ger-
trude Morehatn."
A light shadow passed over the beau-
tiful foe; but that was all Lady Rom -
ley could see.
"It could not have been otherwise,"
Erna, oid.
The old lady pursed her lips. She
understood what Erna meant; but she
would have brushed away such foolish
scruples. She forgot how she had in-
terposed yet feebler objections in the
days that were past.
"The wedding is fixed for the twen-
tieth of next month," said she.
"It seems very soon; but it, too, is
right," said Erna.
"You puzzle me, Erna," "'said Lady
Romley, a little asperity showing in her
tona
"I hardly puzzle myself any more,"
was the answer.
"But you love the earl. You know
you do."
"I do not love him any the los be-
eause he does what honor demands,"
answered Erna, promptly,
"Do you -mean to say that if he were
to tome here and 'ask your hand you
would refuse him?"
"I certainly would. But he will never
come for such is purpose," said Erne con-
fidently.
Lady Romley understood less than
ever; but she was determined to un-
derstand more. She despatched Lord
Romley to town, with imperative in-
structions to meet the earl; to tell him
explicitly that Erna was witli them;
and to ask him to run down at any
time.
"We shall see," she muttered, "if he
is as tied to an absurd notion of duty
as Erna. I don't believe he can be with
her hale an hour without going wild
over her."
When Lord,Ronaley returned, after a
week of wild enjoyznent, she questioned
him. It was the price he had to pay
for a week of London.
"Well?" she demanded. e
•"Well, Aubrey will be down some time
next week without a doubt. His face
lighted up the moment I spoke of Erna.
I don't comprehend that affair."
Lady Romley 'stared at him in con-
tempt,
"I should, think not," she said. "I
doe't understabd it myself. How does
he seem to get on with Lady Ger-
trude?"
"That is the strangest part," answer-
ed Lord Romley. "The earl puts up
with more than many a milder man
would. She treats hina almost rudely
in society; and her conduct with the
young Earl of Rockingham is carried to
the very Verge of impropriety."
"And. Aubrey does not resent it?"
"He does not seem to see it. He bears
himself with a sort of contemptuous
coldnese toward the world; while to-
ward her he is always courtesy itsell."
"But you think he will come downl"
"He said he would come down and
take dinner with us,"
"And then we shall find out some-
thing," said Lady Romley.
But in thee she was mistaken. The
earl did come down, and was given an
opportunity to be alone with Erna. He
did not hesitate to accept It; ana when
they were alone he said, hastily:
"Erna, do not misunderstanding my
coining. I wee invited by Lord RotnIey,
and canie only boause / felt thet I
might for once indulge my eyes with a
sight of your dear face. Don't starti
I shall not say anything I should not.
I accepted your interpretation of my
duty because 1 eaw that it was this cor-
rect one; but, oh, Erna, you cannot
know what I have suffered."
She looked up trA Idni. frankly and
kindly.
"I can know, for I have Suffered, too.
We both have done wrong, and bath
must Suffer."
He looked at her with a Wild longing
in his eyes; then he rose hastily, and
erjed out
"I must not stay, Erna. I thought I
could bear it; but I cannot. Tell Lady
Rowley that I have one, end beg her
forgiveness, I evotild be Obliged to ex -

CURIOSITIES OF OLD TEXT
BOOKS.
The change in school books in 70 years
is as great as in any phase of American
life. The automobile le no higher above
the chaise of that day than is the geo-
graphy above that of those times. The
modern sewer system is no greater im-
prevenient over that of 1840 than the ex-
amples and problems are better then in
those days. The electric light is no far-
ther removed from the tallow edip than
the best primers of to -day are 'from
those of 70 yearago. In arithmetics, isp
to within 70 years, the problems were
such as would not be tolerated to -day,
writes A. E. Winship in the Journal of
Education. Here are some taken at ran -
dem from some old arithmeties, mostly
in my 'own library, many of them In
general use as late as the '40s:
Examples on lotteries are common.
If 9 cats have killed 18 birds, how
many has each killed?
If is oat divides 4 birds between 2
kittens, how many will each kitten have?
There are many problems of cats kill-
ing birds!
A skunk went into a barn, where
he found' three nests; one had 7 eggs,
another 8, and another 3; from each nest
he ate 2 eggs. How many did the
skunk eat?
It is an exceptional page that does
not have problems on beer, ale, wine,
rum, gin or brandy. Every child had to
learn the table of "wine measure," al-
so of "ale and beer measure." No other
commodity was in such universal use in
arthraetics as intoxicating liquors.
REEKED WITH GORE.
But the 'worst feature of the arithme-
tic was the love of bloody incidents.
There was agruesome fondness for
ghastliness with the school book mak-
ers. An arthinetie first issee,d in 1881
and in use long after has most of these
problems:
One hundred and nineteen persons died
from drunkenness in New York, and 137
Ir, Philadelphia. How many in both?
A man had 7 children; 2 of them were
killed by the fall of is tree. How many
had he left?
Threescore and ten kings had their
thumbs and*their great toes cut off and
gathered under the table of Adonibezek.
How many thumbs and toes were under
Adoeibezek's table?
A person was 17 years of age 29 years
since, and suppose he will be drowned
23 years hence; pray, in what year- of
hie age will this happen?
A human body, if baked until all the
moisture is evaporated, is reduced in
'weight as 1 to 10. A body that weighs
100 pounds when living weighs how
much when baked?

Open Windows and the Complexion.
As the cool nights approach women
who have been eleoping with plenty of
air, fearfully begin to lower the win-
dows. The average person seems to feel
that death and disaster lurks in a win-
dow that is up more than a,n ineh or
two, save when the thermometer is at
its top notch.
No amount of preachment on the
value of night air as a health moms
avails. Men and women read of marvel-
ous cures of colds and pulmonary trou-
bles by outdoor, or, at least, 'airy"
sleeping; they say, "stuffy night for
mine," failing back on quinine and doc-
tors' bills to cure Colds, -
If women will not keep open windowa
for their health they should do so for
the sake of their complexion. To :sleep
with the windows down means not only
yellow skin, but Baggy. There is no re-
vivifier like plenty of oxygen. If you
want to look drawn, pinched, tired and
old, sleep with closed windows.
A famous complexion specialist insists

August Belmont in the smoke room

urious motor cars, a story about the
young Marquis of Anglesey, whe died
in Monte Carlo some five years ago.
"Lerd Anglesey's cars were the most
luxurious then known," said Mr. Bel-
mont. "This young man went to ex-
tremes in everything, He Was very
Intelligent, though.
"Once at his historic ce,atle In
Wales, there was a slight fire. So,
lest the prieeless pile burn down, he
ordered an enotmous quantity of hand
grenades, or extinguishers, from Lon,
don.
"When the grenades arrived, they
were hung all over the eastle; but,
though it was art enormous piece,
there were still Several dozen grenade
loft over at the end of the hanging.
"'Ansi what shall I do with them,
My lord?' the butler asked. 4
"Lord Anglesey coughed—he was al-
ready In a pretty bad way—and said
dryly to the butler:
"Yeti May put them ,in ni3r oof-

WOMAN BANKRUPTS IN ENGLAND
of Failures—Dressmakers
Who Give Credit.
More women failed in business during
last year than in 1907, according to a
return just issued by the Board of
Trade. Of the total of 444 failures
there is a preponderance of married wo-
men bankrupts, the prbportion being:
Married. women , • . ..... 208

The trade that has proved most dis-
astrous te the business woman, is dress-

the following table:

"Why do dressmakers fail?" was the
question put to the heed of a flourish-
ing dresamaking busineSs in Mayfair.
"There are three principal reasons"
was the answer. "Too little capital,
too long credit, and lack of hereditary
business instinct.
"Only dressmakers starting with big
capital can afford to give credit," she
added, ready money basis is the
only possible one for a woman whoee
capital is restricted. Another common
mistake is to launch out either in the
west end or in is high rented dintrict
on the fringe of the fashionable quarter,
where many rivals and heavy outgoings
must be encountered. The suburbs are
crying out for good dressmakers and
there is money to be made by women
who will conduct their establishments
on businesslike lines.
"Many women have lost goosi cus-
tomers by the unbusinesslike fashion in
which they promise a gown for a certain
date and never trouble to see that the
promise is kept."
The head of is firm of accountants
said: "The fatal mistake made by wo-
men without business training is their
idea that they can' count on immediate

the long period in which the business

Best Wheat for Bread.
It is is well recognized feet that the
flour from the hard spring wheats of the
northwestern district will produce a
large, well piled loaf of bread of excel-
lent quality, and because it absorbs a
lot of water, it a/so gives a good yield
of bread. These are desirable qualities
and naturally explain why this, elites of
flour is so popular for bread making.
The softer winter wheats do not cone
tain so much gluten and do not make so
large or to many people so desirable a
loaf as the spring wheat flours. Yet a
good, palatable loaf of bread ean be
made, and is being made every day,
from this class of flout—Bakers'
