Mr. Collings estimates that over 261,000 people have leit Britain in 1912, and taken with them a to- total of £4,000,000. In the last years the mother country has 1,318,609 persons, by emigration, and they caied to America £20,000,000.

Every vear since 1906 there has been a shrink- age in the acreage of the vineyards, 80 that the total has fallen from 297,000 to 266,000 acres. As evi- dence of the growing distress of the vintners, the fact is cited that the debts of the 50 co-operative societies of growers on the Moselle have increased from $245,- 000 to $2,000,000 within ten years. The causes of the decline of the in- dustry are various: Increases in tHe costs of production, larger imports of foreign wines, defective German legislation and crop failures from the ravages of insects and plant dic- eases.

Some one has said: 'Character is what a man is in the dark." What he is without an audience. His reputa- tion may be grandstand' play; a safe, senseless slide to second, with a ball a quarter of a mile away--a cloud of dust and thunders of cheers from the people who don't know the game. His character may be the sacrifice hit that brings him hisses from the same class of people--and advances the team, What you wish you were, that's your ideal. What people think you are that is your reputation. What you krow you are, that's your char- acter. To paraphrase Abraham Lin- coln, you may fool some other people 'all of the time, but you can't fool yourself one little bit of the time.

England and Wales Make Low cord--Death Rate 13.3. The marriage rate shows an crease, according to the annual re- port of the Registrar-General, issued recently in London. In 1912 it was 15.5 per 1,000, being 0.1 above the average inthe tem years 1902-1911. In each' of the three years 1910-12 the marriage rate has shown an in- lerease upon that of the preceding year. The provisional figures for 1913, however, indicate that the rate is likely to remain at the level of 15.5 per 1,000. The birih rate in 1912, on the oth- er hand, was 23.8 per 1,000 this being the lowest rate on record. The provisional figures for 1913 indicate a rise of 0.1 per 1,000. It is conclud- ed that in view of the fact that the jrise in 1908 (the last occasion in which there was an increase) provea to be only a temporary check in the general downward tendency, it is un- safe to say there is any present in- aication of &'real slick. The births registered in 1912 num- bered 872,737, and of these 37.5%: were illegitimate, The births per 1,000 of total popu- lation in 1912, tabulated for com- parison between the county bor- {oughs, urban districs, and rural dis- !triets of (1) North, (2) Midland, (3) | South, and (4) Wales, show that { Wales leads.

At Gatury Pedro Miguel and Mir- aflores, an operator standing before ia control board will open and close the gates, fill the empty lock cham- bers, and perform every other opera- tion necessary for letting a ship thro' simply by throwing a succession of switches, and will know at any in- stant just what is happening in the locks without ever having to look be- yond the indications shown on the board before him. Furthermore, the mechanism is so interlocked that it will be. pussible for him to set any machina in motion except in the pro- per order and at the proper time. The triple flight of locks at Gatun extends for a distance of 6.200 feet, while the operating , machinery is scattered over about 4,000 feet-of the distance. This is all controlled from a board sixty-four feet long, which is virtually a minature of the locks and the operating machinery, and is located in an operating tower at the foot of the upper flight of Jocks. we Lost. His Faith. Here's an anecdote of 'the stork variety related by Robert Edeson: "Harry was an' only child 'and the greatest desire of his heart was fora baby brother or sister. He preferred a sister and never failed to ask for one when he said his evening prayer. "Not receiving an answer, he re- petition to the following: "Oh, God, sengl us a baby, I don't care whether it's a boy or a girl, 'or black or white, if it's only a baby." "Shortly after, the Densmores, who lived next door, had an addiuen to their already large family. Har- ry's mamma, noticing that the little boy no longer prayed for a baby, said to him one day: : ** 'Harry, why is it you don't ask God for a baby any more?' " 'Oh, it's no use,' he replied, one comes along the Densmores'll gobble it up' "----August Young's Ma- gazine. -------------------- Police officials nearly had heart fail- ure when Patrolman Joseph Nettleton handed in 810.45 ho had won "'shoot- ing craps' while getting evidence.
