One of the denominational religious publications which secures statistbs each year on the growth of the church population of the United States has Just published figures which show a smaller Increase In 1908 than In 1907. The earlier yt-.ir was, however, phe nomenal In certain details <*f the re corded growth, and the Increase of the last year is not at all disappointing The figures show a net increase foi 1968 <>f 2.835 ministers. 1,874 churches and 720,647 communicants. The growth of the Catholic church is. of course, In eluded, though the statistics come from a Protestant source. The most inter eating feature of the statistics Is u comparison with similar statistics ot 1890. ' The total number of communi cants to-day Is put at 34,282,5-43, or al most 40 per cent of tiie entire estl mated population <>f the nation, and this Is a growth of till per cent In the last eighteen years. The number of ministers In lie s, 165,725, indicates n growth of 49 per cent In the period. Ami the number of churches, 2I3,<G9 shows n growth of 49 per cent. Thai this growth Is really of great signlfl oance appears when one compares It with the total growth of the country In population In the same period. Of course, the 1908 population figure must be an estimate, but If one takes the es timate used by government authorities at Washington one Is safe enough. On this basis the growth of our population has been only Just about 40 per cent In the eighteen years. The rate of In crease In church communicants Is therefore more than half again as rapid as that In total population. The churches are Indeed to be congratulated on the showing. DEADLY HORNETS.

As crown from the assaults of harmful germs CZAR HAS FIVE CHILDREN. the nerve of the tooth a terrible tooth ache announces the fact. There are three causes behind all this trouble—Improper food, wrong ways of eating and lack of cleanliness The mistake of serving too much over cooked, soft food Is responsible for much of the trouble, and this Is Just as true for little children as It is for adults. The teeth were given us t< bile with and to chew w ith, and if they are defrauded of their natural work they become unhealthy. In addition to this, certain articles of food, such as raw apples and nuts, which call for mastication before swal lowing, are absolutely cleansing In their effect upon the teeth. Mechanically they remove masses of soft decompos Ing material. Besides this, masticating promotes the flow of saliva, which In Its turn helps the growth of the good germs which are needed to fight the bad ones, for It should be remembered when it Is said that the mouth Is al ways full of bacteria that the good germs are making a brave fight there as well as everywhere else In the body. Finally a tooth brush should be the first birthday present, and its regular and persistent use should be made a most Important part of the child's early training. A simple alkaline toothwash or cream should be used once a day, and the dentist should be consulted at regular Intervals, because there Is no matter In which prevention Is so surely better than cure as In the care of the teeth.—Youth’s Companion. Hidden Wealth of India, It is estimated that $1,600,000,000 in gold, and perhaps as much In silver, Is hidden away in the Hindu stockings. Vast quantities of the pre cious metals are known to be kept In the form of personal ornaments. From time Immemorial India has been a reservoir Into which the pre cious metals have • flowed from all quarters of the globe, only to dlsap- ¡iear from statistics. Could the Idle wealth be drawn upon the effect on the Industrial and commercial life of i the country would be very great. It is, therefore, a matter of concern to try to turn India's dormant capital to active use. It may be impossible to do It.

Ths story of the founding of the City of Mexico Is cue of the uio*t extraor dinary tales in history, it happened in 1325, at least it began a long time before that, but was un. accomplished fact about 600 years ago. in the first place, says the Rosary Magazine, imagine an almost Inacces sible mountain, crowned with a valley at the height of 8,000 feet above the level of the sea. In the center of this valley was an Immense lake. When ths Aztecs arrived, led by the priests of the god i.f war, they found It In th« possession of hostile tribes. For that reason and because the priests declared that in a certain part of the lake where there stood an ele vation of stones an eagle had been Been devouring a serpent, they began the construction of the city on the spot, Im mediately over the deepest waters of the lake. There had long existed a prophecy among the Aztecs that their wanderings would end when they should have reached a place where th« priests would behold an eagle resting on a cactus plant devouring a serpent. Confident that they had found th« spot ordained to be their abiding home, they began to eonsituet rafts of th« trunks of trees, covering them with thick layers of earth, upon which they built rude huts of more or less solidity. Groups of dwellings soon began to form themselves In regular order, thus de termining the primitive sireets of th« new city. They also constructed boats and oars of different sizes, useful In peace and war, and, while certain of their num ber occupied themselves in defending their homes and brethren from the on slaughts of hostile tribes, others con tinued to improve and enlarge the new city. Gradually the lake was filled up and terraces arose, one after another, in the place once occupied by the deep waters. This was In itself a herculean labor, unsurpassed in Ingenuity and durability by any similar work of ancient or mod uli times. Upon the first of these ter rates was constructed the Teoealll, ol sacrificial temple. It was begun In 1216 and not completed until 1325, a period of 109 years, from which time may b« dated the official foundation of Tenoch- tltlan, today the modern city of Mex ico. Mexico'« Ae»v IM«cov eriea. The Geographical Commission ap pointed seven years ago to map th« towns of Mexico has reported the dis covery of 7,679 towns which were not officially known to exist and were sub ject to no Federal control. While Bom« of these places range from 5,000 to 15,000 population, most of them ar« presumably small villages. A Mexican hill village, few of who«« people can read or write, might easily exist for years happily unconscious that It was living under any govern ment at all. A mule path over a pas« connects the village sufficiently with the outside world. The sun shines, the crops grow, wants are few, the old In dian tribal customs furnish all th« needed law, and having no history, the land is happy. There are disadvantages In being named, catalogued ami put on the map. These 7,679 idyllic towns will now be Invaded by drummers, phonographs, fancy waistcoats, automobiles, lawyers, corn doctors, book agents, Salome dancers, penny arcades, handbooks on etiquette and pdltics and there will be no place left where the simple life may be led. These geographer« have much to answer for. Man Maney. The system of atoning for death ot bodily injuries inflicted on others by paying damages is as old as the earli est Teutonic laws, praised by Tacitus. The trespasser was always required to make peace with the aggrieved family of the victim by “Wer-Geld.” "Wer” Is the ancient German fot man. “Geld,” now, as In the day« of Wotan, means money. Damages were assessed In accord ance with the rank and wealth of th« injured party, ami the money wat paid over in the presence of the whole community. Its acceptance forestalling feuds. Indeed, the recognition of Wer- Geld ("money for the man" killed) by law precluded further bloodshed ot other forms of revenge. If the slayer was not rich enough to pay the required sum. he turned ov«l to the Injured parties bls sons at slaves. If bls sons were not sufficient guarantee for the payment of th« debt, the slayer himself had to turn bondsman, both the letter and th« spirit of the law requiring that th« full amount of damage Inflicted b« recovered by the aggrieved parties.— New York World.
