China, England and the United States Each Have a Strip of Territory Wherein the People Are Closely Packed. That the population of Berlin do* cllnod 4.111) In 1908 is not a surpris ing result of financial depression Although the German empire haa 64.000. 000 people in an area much smaller than Texas, no part of It la very densely peopled. The new "Greater Merlin," which Is planned on in area more than twice New York's, will not contain so many people. The center of densest population In Qer many Is not Merlin hut ('refold, but the Industrial region of Kheuisli Prus sia anil Westphalia does not contain more than 6,000,000 people. Belgium, with more than 7,000,000 people In an area less than Maryland's, Is considered an example of extreme density. She feeds 625 people to tho square mile by the aid of vast manu factoring Industries. Java, with 29,* 000,000 people in a spare less than Iowa, supports 674 to the square mile by ngrleulture alone. The inhabited portion of Kgypt supports by agrlcul tore nearly 1,000 to the square mile. The Chinese province of Kangsu lu supposed to support 35,000,000 people In tho area of Illinois, but there la no exact census. Still, the portion of the province running from Shanghai to Nanking along the railroad, the Grand canal and the Yangtseklang river, an area like New Jersey's, Is one of tho three great hives of humanity known to the world. The other two are Kngllsh and American. A strip of 220 miles by la connecting London anil the coast north of Liverpool contains In less than New Hampshire's area more than 16.000. 000 people, nearly as many as Brazil or Spain. In the United States a strip 450 miles by 40 whoso central line connects Boston and Washington contains nearly 15,000,000 people in a space rather more than a third that of New York state. This little strip of American soil includes Providence and tho Rhode Island valley towns, Hartford, New Haven and the Connecticut manufac turing centers, New York, Newark. Jersey City, Trenton, Philadelphia and Baltimore. It has many ports and la growing faster than any other Impor tant population center of the world toward undoubted primacy. Desiccated Water. Some years the water In Philadel phia used to become unfit to bathe !n„ let alone to drink, ufter even tho, mildest kind of storm. Everybody complained, says a writer In the Washington Star. One gentleman complained to Peter Hurness, an ta corrigible optimist. Hut he received little encouragement. ‘‘Actually,” I said to Peter one morn ing after a storm, “I couldn't take a bath today on account of the muddy water. It was llko brown paste.” "Ob. I took a good long bath,” said Peter. "When the Schuylkill water la like that It Is the best thing In tho world to bathe In. So medicinal y<?'i| know, lietter than Hotnburg or Mar lenbad or any of those places.” "Hut it's so muddy.” said I. “That’s just the point," said Peter. "It's medicinal mud, full of all sorts of phosphates and things. Tonight when you get home nil your bath. Jump In and splash about; but after ward don’t use any towels.” "No towels?” I objected. “There’s a much better way than, towels," said Peter. "Stand before the radiator and let the water dry on your body. Then brush It. off with a whisk broom."—Youth's Companion. Pulpit Points. Robert .1. Burdette Is even more| popular and successful as a clergyman than he used to be as a humorist. X young divine of I-os Angeles, praising Mr. Burdette, said the other day: “Humor Is spontaneous with him. [ remember how one day I asked him for advice on preaching and he rattled gaily off. “ 'Never be goody-goody. Never say, for instance, “I was reading last even Ing In dear Hebrews." " 'Keep your pictures accurate. [ once heard ail old minister picture Noah as sitting out In front of the ark reading his Bible. "'Be simple In the pulpit as well as friendly out of it. or the old ladles will describe you as invisible on week days and incomprehensible on Sun day.’ ’’ Uncle Sam Rejects Own Stamps. Thomns A. Dally, an Indianapolis lawyer, was laughing at himself the other day for sending stamps to the government at Washiugtion In pay ment for a patent circular, A few days later he received a letter stating that stamps could not be accepted. "it never occurred to me they could not use stamps,” he said laughing. "But they use a frank, and of course they wouldn't want stamps. All the government could do w’ould be to se'.I the stamps over again, and It might as well get the money In the first place.”—Indianapolis Star. Noted for Her Good Work.
