FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG
Swimming in Myriads Near Surface
They Are Snared and Speared
by Filipinos.
Friday morning Filipinos snaring
eels and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. It was fully ten feet in length,
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored In the
stream were thronged with hundreds
of Filipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani
mously in their statement to the ef
fect that at this time of the year the
bottom of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths of
the stream and flash bdek and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
a great many adherents was to the ef
fect that at this time every year
thero was a change in the character
of the water, this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome
non for many years.—Manila Times.
Washington.—Greater New York
has a population of 4,766,883 under
the thirteenth decennial census, ac
cording to figures issued by Director
of the Census Durand. This makes
New York the second largest city in
the world, and as large as any two
foreign cities, excepting London.
Since 1900 the population of the me
tropolis has increased by 1,329,681, or
38.7 per cent., as compared with 3,437,-
202 under the last census.
The borough of Bronx showed the
greatest increase in the greater city,
Queens, Brooklyn, Richmond and Man
hattan following next in order. The
figures for these borough, together
with the increases, are as follows :
Bronx, 430,980, an increase of 230,473,
or 114.9 per cent.; Queens, 284,041, an
inorease of 130,042, or 86.6 per cent.;
Brooklyn, 1;634,351, an increase of
467,769, or 41 per cent.; Richmond
borough, 85,969, an increase of 18,-
948, or 28.3 per cent.; Manhattan bor
ough, 2,331,442, an increase of 481,440,
or 26 per cent.
The census of 1909 showed Greater
London’s population to be 7,429,740,
again 6,581,372 in 1901. That New
York is slowly catching London is
shown by the fact that in eight years
London’s increase was 848,368, while
that of New York for ten years was
1,329,681.
Paris, according to the census of
1906, was the third largest city in
the world, with a population of 2,763,-
393, while Tokio, under the census of
1908, was fourth, with 2,186,079. Ber
lin in 1905 had a population of 2,t**i0,-
148.
New York City contains only 164,-
648 fewer people than the combined
fourteen cities of more than 200,000,
the population of which already ha3
been announced, namely: Pittsburg,
St. Louis, Detroit, Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Newark, Milwaukee, Washington, In
dianapolis, Jersey City, Kansas City,
Providence, St. Paul and Denver. The
aggregate population of the cities
named is given as 4,731,532.
The city of New York, as consti
tuted prior to the act of consolidation,
effective January 1, 1898, had a pop
ulation in 1890 of 1,515,301, as com
pared with 3,437,202 in 1900, showing
an apparent increase of 1,921,901, or
126.8 per cent for the greater city.
The population of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
is 1,634,351, an increase of 467,769, or
40.1 per cent., as compared with 1,166,-
582 in 1900.

PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD
Children of Today Puzzle Over Them
Just as They Did a Thousand
, Years Ago.
When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England, a thousand
years ago, school children pondered
ovel' problems in pjrithmltlf much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word {jjr word
from a lesson book of that da^:
“The swallow once Invited tffo snail
to dinner. He lived Just one league
(three English milos) from the spot,
and the snail traveled at the rate of
only one Inch a day. How long
would It be before he dined?”
"An old man met a child. ’Good-
day, my son,’ he said. ’May you live
as long as you have lived, and as
much more, and thrice as much as all
this; and If God gives you one year
In addition to the others, you will be
a century old!’ What was that boy’s
age?”—The Comrade.

HOW A DOCTOR CURED SCALP

"NO FRILLS”
Just Sensible Food Cured Him.
Sometimes a good, healthy commer
cial traveler suffers from poorly se
lected food and is lucky if he learns
that Grape-Nuts food will put him
right.
A Cincinnati traveler says: “About
a year ago my stomach got in a bad
way. I had a headache most of the
time and suffered misery. For several
months I ran down until I lost about
V0 pounds in weight and finally had to
give up a good position and go home.
Any food that I might use seemed to
nauseate me.
“My wife, hardly knowing what to
do, one day brought home a package
of Grape-Nuts food and coajced me to
try it. I told her it was no use but
finally to humor her I tried a little,
and they just struck my taste. It
was the first food I had eaten in near
ly a year that did not cause any suffer
ing.
“Well, to make a long story short, I
began to improve and stuck to Grape-
Nuts. I went up from 135 pounds in
December to 194 pounds the following
October.
“My brain is clear, blood all
right and appetite too much for any
man’s pocketbook. In fact, I am thor
oughly made over, and owe It all to
Grape-Nuts. I talk so much about what
Grape-Nuts will do that some of the
men on the road have nicknamed me

Law
Socialists Want Compulsory
Against Unemployment.
Copenhagen, Denmark.—The inter
national social congress adopted a
resolution demanding the establish
ment of a system of universal and
compulsory laws against unemploy
ment, the cost of which is to be borne
by the owners of the means of pro
duction.
Among other thing the resolution
sets forth that the condition of un
employment is inseparable from the
present capitalistic mode of produc
tion, and that as long as capitalism
holds sway only palliative measures
are possible of success.
The resolution on unemployment
was carried despite the refusal of the
American, French and British dele
gates to vote.
“When I was ten or twelve years
old I had a scalp disease, something
like scald head, though it wasn't that.
I suffered for several months, and
most of my hair came out. Finally
they had a doctor to see me and he
recommended the Cuticura Remedies.
They cured mo In a few weeks. I
have used the Cuticura Remedies, also,
for a breaking out on my hands and
was benefited a great deal. I haven’t
had any more trouble with the scalp
disease. Miss Jessie F. Buchanan,
R. F. D. 3, Hamilton, Ga., Jan. 7, 1909.”
A Shipping Error.
The young Duchess of Westminster,
wife of the richest peer In England,
recently gave birth to her third child,
a daughter. Thus thero Is no heir to
the lmmenso Qrosvenor fortune, Earl
Grosvenor, the duchess’ second child,
having died at the nge of four.
Apropos of all this, a rather cruel
story Is being told in Newport about
Lady Ursula Grosvenor, the eight-
year-old daughter of the young
duchess.
A friend, the story goes, called at
Eaton Hall, and as she sat In the
drawing-room, little Lady Ursula en
tered.
“Oh, good afternoon,” sho said
gravely. “Mamma can’t seo any one
today. She’s upstairs with the new
baby. They sent her. you know, n girl
when she’d ordered a boy, and sho’s
so upset that she’s qulto ill.”
