Some Canadians ostentatiously boast that their colony is of greater area than the republic of the United States, while they quietly ignore the facts that about one-half of their dependency is covered with perpetual or all but perpetual snow and ice, and that no small part ol the remainder is but sparsely inhab ited or habitable except by Indians and Indian-French half-breeds, who eke out a precarious subsistence by fishing, by the scanty proceeds from slaughter ing fur-bearing animals, and on meager government rations. The arable por tion of Canada, says the Springfield Republican, is in general but a very broken and irregular fringe on the northern boundary of the United States; and although the European set tlement of the country began nearly 300 years ago, its present population is only about 5,000,000 from the Atlantic to the Pacific or over 250,000 less than the population of the state of Pennsyl vania! Canada .to-day consists of but seven provinces. One of these, Prince Edward island, is a little more than one-fifth the area of the little state of Vermont, and another, British Colum bia, a sea of mountains covering some 350,000 square miles contains less ara ble land than the comparatively small contiguous state of Washington. The desirable land for tillage in the three small maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward island and New lirunswick is now chiefly occupied by an excellent Scotch-English people, whose number is all but stationary or retrograde. About one-half of what is claimed to be the Province of Quebec is sparsely inhabited by Indians, Canadian-French half-breeds and the hardi est of "habitans." Much of the re mainder, on both banks of the River St. Lawrence and on the northeast bank of the Ottawa river, is a good quality of soil, and the greater part of it is now densely populated by Canadian French A portion of the province of Quebec, consisting of about 100 townships, called the eastern townships, lying be tween the parishes south of the St, Lawrence and the northern boundaries of the states of New York, Vermont and New Hampshire, is good general farming land, now in great part occu pied by a mixed population composed of "old country" English-speaking peo ple, Canadian French and some de scendants of the New England royal ists ol tne last century, f or many years the English-speaking people have been steadily nearing a minority, There are at present but two cities of any considerable size and business im portance in the whole of Canada the one, Montreal, in the province of Quebec, making a population (about two-thirds Canadian-French) of some what over 200,000; and the other, To ronto, the capital of the province of Ontario, with a population (mostly English - speaking) something below 200,000. ia-- - - '' .

TO BE IN GOOD SOCIETY. Culture and Refinement to nave Prece dence Over Birth and Rank. High moral character and education, whether it be of book dore or that of observation and good example, polish of manner and good habits are the requisites of good society. One whose ideas of social equality were rather democratic than exclusive, says the Philadelphia Press, was heard to re mark: "One man is born iust as good as another, and a great deal better than some." Unless the son of a gentleman be a gentleman he is no more entitled to the name suggesting refinement than a man is entitled to the name of general whose father before him was a general. One must win his own laurels or go uncrowned. Birth to a marked degree is an acci dent, and those who are considered to be well born are oftentimes the most objectionable elements of society and the most dangerous associates. One need but watch closely the daily record of those on both sides of the Atlantic, whose birth gives them prestige in so ciety, to prove that education and cul tivation of high morals go further to ward making refined society than all the good or blue blood that ever flowed through the veins of royalty and the no bility. Of course, it would be the height of absurdity to argue that all men are born equal, and would be as illogical to argue against the superiority of blood cd animals of the race course over the ordinary draft horse. However, the nobility of culture and refinement should have precedence over the nobil ity of birth and rank. A REGULAR GOLD MINE. MORE This WOMEN THAN MEN.

Statistics prove that, taking the world as a whole, the number of men and women is about equal the best argu ment against polygamy but this re lationship varies greatly when indi vidual countries ore considered, says the New York Tribune. According to the last estimate of the world's popu lation, made up from the census iu sin glo states, Norway ntitf Scotland are the countries with the greatest rela tive number of women. In these coun tries there are to every 100 men re spectively 107.5 and 107.2 women. The excess of women is also large in Sweden, there being KH'i.5 to every 100 men; lu England, where there are 100, in Denmark with 10.1.1, and in Switzer land, with lo.'i.il. The countries of the north In general show a larger popla- tion of women. Of the lands with a more temperate climate Aut-tria has 104.4 women to 100 men, Hungary 101.5 to 100, and France I00.7 to loo. Further toward the south men lie come the nmro numerous.

How a Justice of tho Peace Mulcted Bi cycle Klders. "There's a justice of the peace in a country town not far from here," said a bicycler to a liufTulo Express man re cently, "who has a scheme that will make him a millionaire if he sticks to it for a year or two. Yon see the town has an ordinance forbidding1 bicycle riding on the side walks. A good many wheelmen go that way, so what does this justice do but scoop out a hole and make a great birr mud puddle clear across the street right in front of his omce. Of course, when a wheelman comes along, rather than ride through the mud, he turns upon the sidewalk. That's what the justice is waiting for. He has a con stable on the watch, and the two rush out and nab the cycler. 'I was caught in the snare one week. Though I protested I only intended to keep un the walk till I passed the mud, it was of no avail. I was fined live dol lars and had to pny it. I got a chance to look at his book when he was re cording mv fine, and there was a rec ord of some twenty wheelmen who had been served the same way that day, and it was still early in the after noon. 'It made mc mad, and I began abus- inir the old fellow for having such a mud-puddle in the street. ' 'Why don't yon fill it upr I asked, if you want wheelmen to keep in the road?" 'He grinned in a most exasperating manner, and answered without so much ns a blush: ' ' 'Spose we're goin' to destroy such a source of revenue as that tnudpuddle is? I guess not. John.' turning to the constable, "you better take the hose and soften It una little bit ready for the nei:t tucker.' " King of Bicycles. FINEST MATERIAL. , SCIENTIFIC WORKMANSHIP.
