It were aa treat folly to remain divided aa for England and Scotland to have done so. It need not be feared that force will ever be used or required to accomplish this union. It will come must coma In the natural order of things. Political, aa wall aa material, bodies obey ha law of gravitation. Canada's destiny la to annex the republic, aa Scot land did England, and then, taking the hand of the rebellious b'lg brother and that of the mother, place them tn each other's grasp, thua reuniting the then happy family that should never have known aeparatlon. To accept tliis view, tha people of the United Kingdom have only Jo recall the bloody wars arlalng from Scotland and England floating separate flags, and contrast the change today, there being but one. ' The Canadians and Americans may be trusted to follow the example of tha motherland and have but one flag em bracing our whole race in America. Present petty Jealousies melt away as the population north and south become In greater degree born Amercans. The United Kingdom Increased laat decade more than three timea aa much aa cnd and Australia combined. It la not to her colonies therefore that Britain can look for muoh increase of population or trade. Tha growth of Australasia, small as It was In tha laat decade, so far aa reported In this de cade, la even leaa. Canada la growing faster only tn tha far northwest, which Is separated by a thousand miles of barren land from the English speaking province of Ontario. Laat decade Ontario, province (English) actually de clined tn British population; Quebec province (French) allghtly Increased. The census of 1100 shows fewer British born residents In all of Canada than that of 1890. The wheat fields now Remarkable (Oooyrlgbt. IK, by the amerlc.n Journ.l ExaauasT. .

When we come to tha population of the 1'nlted King dom, we find already In England and Wales SM par square mile What thoughtful man could wlah much further Increase, even If It were possible?

Mark tha contrast. America haa only II people per aquare mile, one alxteenth that of the United Kingdom, one for every 26 In England and Wales. Thaae figures Include Alaska, which reaemblea moat of Canada, and la not likely to support many people. Exclud ing Alaska, tha' American population la IS per aquare mile, one twentieth of England and Walea. It la evident that Oreen waa right when he wrote years ago that the home of tha EngllsVspeak Ing race was not to be on the Clyde and the Thamea, but upon the Hudaon. tha Delaware, the Ohio, the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence. There la not room for it in tha daar old home, but there la, fortunately. In the now lands of her children in Canada and America. When we note the development Britain haa attained Industrially we are amased. It la wonderful almost beyond belief; we doubt and Investi gate to assure ourselves that we have tha facta. This little kingdom haa today more shipping, and about as many spindles turning, aa all tha rest of tha world. She Is the richest of all na tions par capita. She makes more iron and mlnea more coal per capita, than any nation. Marvelous nothing comparable to her in history. She positively dwarfs all previous records' a dwarf more powerful than most glanta. Who la there, than, who can expect her to do more, what she haa accomplished being scarcely credible?

Hla denial of the ceremony or If hla honorable Intent, and his admission that hla relations with the woman were of an unholy charaoter, placea him In a very unenviable light, and ahould oatra etae him from society and drive him out of the army. Recently a soldier was properly dis missed for marrying a negrtaa In New Tork.

Tho subject of their palaver waa much nearer. They were talking about tholr nelghbora. and thay wero talking about them In a way that waa not at all oomplimentary.

If Britain succeeds In maintaining present production In theaa fields, great will be the credit due to bar captains of In dustry. As with population, therefore, ao with Industrials much Increase is Impossible. This Is tha age of consolidation, in dustrially and nationally. Consider the recent consolidation and rapid growth of the German empire. Who can im agine that the process haa stopped? On the contrary, we are on the ava of further consolidations In Europe of great 'extent. The successes of the American, republic 4t states consoli dated into one Union, with free trade over all. and that of Oermany. with lta Zollvereln. are too significant to paae unheeded.

The day la coming when Britain will have to decide on one of three courses. First, shall she sink comparatively to tha giant consolidations into a third or. fourth rate power a Holland or Belgium comparatively?

Or, third, shall she grasp the outstretched hand of her children in America and become again, aa aha waa before, the mother member of the English-speaking race? Assuming that Other powers sre to Increase their present population (as Oermany and Russia have yet room to do), or by further consolidation, it be ing evident that there la not room in the 110.000 square miles of tha little, crowded United Kingdom for further Increaae of moment, then the conclusion is Inevitable that ona of those three courses ia the only possible alternative, an Officer The worat feature of the whole matter la that it la elalmed there are fifty or alxty other offlcera waiting to he re leased from Filipino wives ao they can marry Innocent women of their own country. It ia to bo hoped that In each case such revelations will be made, where officers have had either legal or illegal relations with any native women In any of our island possessions, as to stop their marriage to worthy, vlrtuoua women. In cases where white men have had wivea of colored or Indian races tholr children almoat without exception have lowered the white race. Vary few of them have grown Into noble manhood and womanhood.

The people of thla country who are in terested In the advancement of civilisa tion and " the welfare of the American nation are not ready o approve of auch a atandard of morality In our army. If the regulations do not Include the lieu tenant's crime In the list of offenaea wnicn constitutes conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, it la high time immorality, especially that of adul teroua living with any woman, black or White, should be added. Thla la a serloua matter and one that cannot be too seriously considered or too quickly regulated.

Always catch yourself. There is no dear the one you capture yourself. This Is quite easy. as woman Is a tame domeatlo animal, and. Instead of avoiding the matrimonial noose, will come up and attck her head through a wedding-ring If a marv holds It out before hey. Do not take the flret one that you can put your hands on for fear that you may not be able to catch another. The woods are full of them. Before taking your catch home, ob serve carefullythe. following points: First, whethoirfhe haa a good color, clear akin and good flesh, and a general ly wholesome look, for nothing makes a man alck ao quick of matrimony as an Invalid wife; secondly. If she haa a kind temper and an amiable disposition, for she will bo certain to disagree with you If she Is bad-nam red; thirdly, If ahe haa Intelligence, for nothing makes family IKS more palatable than for the wife to have plenty of brains, fourthly. If aha la sympathetic and affectionate, for a woman without a heart la a monstrosity that, la not fit for home consumption. If you pick out a wlfo who la good looking, healthy, amiable, Intelligent and loving, you will alwaya feel that you could eat her up, and never bo sorry that you hadn't. In going Into the matrimonial market a woman ahould alwaya be very careful to select a husband bersslf. Inatead of letting her mother do It for her. Of oourse, the mother has had more ex perience, and may have better Judgment than tho girl, but huabanda are purely a matter of individual taate, and unless ona selects the kind of flavor aha likes be Is apt to pall upon her after ahe haa had htm for breakfast and dinner and supper for a number of years. Some girls prefer men with a tobasco flavor, others like aomethlng that la ftasy and gaseous, while nothing appeals to the palate of still other women but the sim ple break fast -food sort of a man. In ae lectlng a huaband, however, a woman should bs very careful to see first that the man la old endugh to have worked off tho fermentation of youth and .has become mellowed and ripened by age, for there Is no peace In tho house with a husband who la ao effervescent that he la alwaya blowing tho ltd off; secondly, that ahe ia getting the genuine article and la not Investing her all in fancy branda. for there Is man a crab-ctdet husband masquerading aa champagne; thirdly, that ahe will not have to cork acraw money out of him; fourthly, that ha haa not a disgruntled temper that will turn Into vinegar when he Is left silting around at home; fifthly, that he will al waya agree with her. - Having caught' your wife, light the fire of love and see that a ateady heat Is kept In the domestic overt. Dress her generously and handle her tenderly, for a woman's feelings srs easily bruised Lard her well with compliments and atuff her with flattery, to which add a handful of cheatnuta about her being the moet beautiful woman In the world and that you never loved before, and you could never love again, and ao on.

In the obituary notice of the mar quis of Anglesey a contemporary Jour nal wrltea In the following terms: "Seldom have bravery, gentleness and generosity been combined In such noble proportions.

HIb politics were thoroughly liberal, and with far mure insight and sound states manship In them than the world haa given htm credit for. He had a sound, shrewd understanding, a Judgment sel dom at fault, often acting like an In stinct, and accompanied with a moral courage not inferior to his brilliant physical bravery on the field of battle. In the Peninsular war, at the battle of Waterloo, Lord Anglesey's name standa among the heroes At the great decisive battle, when, leading the Ouarda, almost the laat shot that waa fired on that memorable day struck Lord Anglesey on the knee, and It waa necoaaary there and then to amputate his limb, and five days after the victory he received the dignity of the title of marqula, conferred on him by tho prince regent, and was nominated Knight of tho drum! Cross of the Order of the Bath. No name probably stood more prominently before the public In tho middle of the laat century, none more honored, and none more deaarvedly won a country's gratitude. It Is therefore all the more painful to know that with auch a heritage so fan tastic a descendant aa the present Lord Angleaey should represent so great a name. All England has been laughing over the extraordinary sale of tho ef fects sold by order of the court at An glesey castle. Never haa any human being squan dered money to so alarming an extent, and never has a perverted taate produced auch an exhibition of folly.

Walking stlcka of fantastic device were sold to the amount of thousanda of pounds. For Instance, one of these possessed a spring, Which on being pressed caused a diamond humming-bird to alight on ths handle'. Others represented a tortoise, tho whole body being composed of a Ca buchon aapphlre, with diamond head and lega: an ass' head In diamonds, which moved its oara, and every conceivable dealgn that folly could suggest and money could supply.

The wlga alone were of all sixes and lengths, ready to supply a Romeo, a Louis XIII, a Chinaman or a Malay. The contrasts of the costumes were startling. A ooronatlon robe of the time of Oeorge TV, In crimson velvet, em broidered with fleurs de lis and lined with ermine, was companioned by a ault of corduroy, ragged at the edgea and In tended to look dilapidated, Used with richest heliotrope .ilk.

BODFISH cated and clean and who manage. affairs of this world according to our sense Of Justice. So we work along blindly 'year after year and wonder why the poor do not Improve themselves or their surround ings. You who live In wealth and plenty put yourselves In their places. Tou would do no better and be no better. What we should do is to begin at the beginning. The government, state and nation ahould locate the poor of cltlea In colonlea upon all the. unoccupied landa to be found In every atata. They ahould be houaed properly, with sufficient land to furnish them with the necessary food stuffs. " ' Where there is watsr power, or where land Is not fertile, factories of all kinds ahould be hum by the government and run and managed by the government. The employes should be tsken from this class of seemingly hopeless material and taught how to live and to work. The tramp, and determined Idler should be made to work. The vlcloua should be taught hrw to do better In a reformatory but not In a prison. We should see our hospitals, dlBpen saries. poorhouses snd prisons decrease at a rapid rate. Money expended In these former Institutions would be used on the hou.es. landa and factorial for the poor. Taxe. would be ne higher than at present and probably lower. The general health would be greatly Improved. Every one would be paid according to his sblllty to earn a living airing ltnea for which he or she showed the most fitness. Supply would be regulated by the demand In greater fairness and Jus tice than at present. Let Us Be American Artists By HENRY PENE DU BOIS as HT do you not paint New York?" asked Aman- n of me. "It Is full of life, with its tall buildings, the smoke thst patches snd does not permeate lta clear air, the ani mation of Its streete. You hsve New York to pose for you, snd you paint Venice." Mnan ,ian I. the moat captivating of the artl.ts that let myatery fall upon their painting, like a lunar light. He ha. Ju.t returned from Pittsburg, where. he was of the Jury of admission to the Carnegie Institute's show. "Beautiful are the painting, by Ameri cana that one .eea at the Pittsburg In stitute snd the comparative exhibition of native and foreign art here! But they are not distinctive, they do not form a national group." he exclaimed. "Does not that sadden you?" "Ye." I replied. "I am afraid that we are to be similar to Bome We .hall have Invincible armies, great men of wealth. We may Impose peace upon the world. But similar to Rome. whoa, art was Oreek, I am afraid that we are to take art forever from France.'' Ono says auch things In moments of dlacouragement. because they provoke discussion, but one trie. lway. not to think them. Aman-Jean replied: "I am sorry that I have drawn you Into that manner of thought. Art la of the soul. The savages here made blanket., bn.ket.. carved totem., which were.renllv srtl.tlc.

Traveling di Anglesey Sale rubbed shoulders with three minstrel and "coon'" outfits The Heaalan and Austrian military " uniform, aeem to have appealed to thla lord or the opera bouffe. for the cotHc tlun Includes a number of different aulta of varying colors, which are lavishly or n. i in-n led with gold, paste buttons and fur. Ths historical, costumes were, how- j ever, not only beautiful they were cor rect in detail and carried out In tha most lavish way. An Ellxabcthan blue velvet cout was embroidered In pearls and looked as though it bad been worn by a i Veil or a Leicester. The curious taste of the man with regard to evening dress is well illustrated by a suit which Is en- tlrely In scarlet satin He adopted knee-breeches as mors ar istocratic than trousers In which, by the way. he would find a strong up porter tn ths well-known artt.t, Henry Holllday, who la carrying on a crusade In favor of tha general use of knes breeches In material suitable at tlmo and place and the occupation of the wearer. Lord Anglesey's scarlet suit was supple mented by a large cloak embroidered In black demons. Among the fancy costumes, the most extraordinary' effecta wero to bo Been. ' Le Hoi des Fleurs" was a dasxlingly gorgeous dress, with the rising sun In paste diamonds, with a cloak of cloth of -gold bordered with ermine, and ths crown and wand a maaa of ostrlch-feathere and lowers. "The Prince of the Air" was an extraordinary conception, composed -of blrda of paradise, the cloak, the shoea and the headdress all covered with their outstrstched wings, and a hundred oth ers Illustrated the same Insane folly. Imitation Jewels glittered on every hand crowns for mimic kings and queens, helmets, words, bolts and weap ons of exquisite workmanship; but tho strange vanity of the man was emphs sised by the fact that with most of tho costumes were clever paintings of him as he appeared decked In hla finery. What will be the life of such a man shorn of its tinsel glory? It would seem best to try to forget such folly; and yet it Is with a sad heart that one has to allow that this young man Is but tho exaggeration of he spirit of the age. Irresponsibility and the madness for amusement characterise many who have much of this world's goods, and while the career of thla foolish peer haa been a matter of Jeat. It seems to roe at tho game time to have in it an element of warning; for may it not bo that it ta tho spirit of our time run riot? Perhaps the whole episode strike, me as all the more terrible as the willful squandering of money stands out in such ugly contrast to the grim want which thla winter surrounds us on all hands.' Poverty A. all would work, sll would have a chance to supply themselves with the necessaries which they now demand but do not receive. In time they would pay for the houaea aAd land which had been given them by the government. When you stop to think of It snd we wieh you would think of It are you not surprised st the patience, fnrebesranca snd endurance of thla great throbbing, beating mass of humanity, that never haa anything that It wants, and never lets Itself wsnt much far It knows It can't get It: of these classes that never know where the next meal la coming from and yet manage In some way to pay rent for their mm hie -down. disgraceful homes (?) In order that the owners may live in plenty? Do you ever stop to think sbout it, you who have a plenty from week to week, you who never did a moment's work Ib your life, yet are cared for, clothed and fed, but through no effort of your own? Wa aay, do you ever care about theae people who live in darkness, fllth and poverty, because they do not know how to do any different, and could not do much better if they did know how? Shame upon you If you never havo thought or cared! The time Is coming when you will havo to think end care. The time is coming when this patient, forebearing humanity wilt demand lta rights, and then we will wish we had done aomethlng before being forced to do it. Let ua all aee what we can do to change the burdena of these "lower" clas.ee about us. The first thing Is to think then act. I'se your Influence to make our govern ment see the light and follow It. aaa verts you from this aim. ' You shall have a achool of art aa soon as you cease to attend Europo'B schools "If I were an American, I ahould not go to Europe except to see Its museums, t .hould be careful to take my lessons In art only from my country's soil, Whistler Is the great American artist. You accentuate often, I notice, the char acteristics of his Americanism. You any that they are similar to toe's" "Well, aren't they?" I aaked. "Yes." ho replied, "the figures of Whistler's - painting haunt one like Llgelas and Moreallaa, emerging from the twilight of backgrounds, but this Is the psychology of his art. H. waa pro foundly affected, you know, by the art of Japan. I am speaking of him as ah artist. An a painter, he Ib not as great as Sargent, who revels In paint " "And Sargent'a art Is not American?" I asked. "It Is French." replied Aman-J.sn. "Advise our young friends not to go to the schools of Europe. There la as) exuberance of life to be rompar-d with the American And. pray, do not let yourself bs tormented by the lds that vou are to be here, like Rome, Incapa ble In art because you are great in everything else." Aman-Jean tell, the truth. e ought to be American artists. We have the soil and the life la the Oaee.
