Why women like the baldheadetl man it is somewhat difficult to define. It may be because he appears to be: Thoughtful and kind. Trustworthy and confiding. Whim- Bical. Past the follies and frivolities of youth. Usually successful. A man of property. Opinions why women like the bald headed man obtained by the Daily Mirror are as follows: He is not silly like young men. He accepts refusals of marriage so nicely that one is sorry one did not accept him. The bald patch looks so clean and nice. One would like to kiss it. A doctor welcomes baldness when it comes to him. as it is a sign of se dateness and dignified learning, which Invariably increases his practise.

POPULATION Of UMIBI STATES IS 93,402,151 Statistics of the Thirteenth Census Show Remarkable Gains in Population Throughout the Entire Coun try —Southern States Show Large In creases and Will Possibly Get More Congressmen. 'Washington.—The total population of the United States, according to the thirteenth census, is 93,402,151. In the United States and all its possessions the stars and stripes protect 101,100,000 souls. This enormous number is the official estimate of the United States bureau of the census, announced in con nection with the population statis tics for the country as enumerated in the thirteenth decennial census. It includes the Philippines, Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, Alaska and the Panama canal zone. Within its borders on the North American continent, exclusive of Alas ka, the United States has a population of 91,972,266 inhabitants. Dur ing the last tg’ years the states of the Union had an aggregate pop ulation of l^ r 1f,691, which amounts to 21 per cent, over the 1900 fig ures. } Since fst census was taken in 1790 the country has grown 25 times a,* e, the population then having been 3,929,214, slightly larger than the' Asent population of the state of Texas. The growth of the country was greater than has been expected by the expert statisticians who have closely watched the progress of the country's popualtion. tlie states in their rank, according to population, as given by the thirteenth census, follows: 1, New York; 2, Pennsylvania; 3, Illinois; 4, Ohio; 5, Texas; 6, Mas sachusetts; 7, Missouri; 8, Michigan; 9, Indiana; 10, Georgia; 11, New Jersey; 12, California; 13, Wisconsin; 14, Kentucky; 15, Iowa; 16, North Carolina; 17, Tennessee; IS, Alabama; 91, Minnesota; 20, Vir ginia; 21, Mississippi; 2, Kansas; 23, Oklahoma; 24, Louisiana; 25, Ar kansas; 26, South Carolina; 27, Maryland; 2S, West Virginia; 29, Ne braska; 30, Washington; 31, Porto Rico; 32, Connecticut; 33, Colorado; 34, Florida; 35, Maine; 36, Oregon; 37, South Dakota; 38, North Dakota; 39, Rhode Island; 40, New Hampshire; 41, Montana; 42, Utah; 43, Ver mont; 44, District of Columbia; 45, New Mexico; 46, Idaho; 47, Arizona; 48, Delaware; 49, Hawaii; 50 .Wyoming; 51, Nevada; 52, Alaska Under the 1900 apportionment these states have representatives in congress as follows: Georgia, 11; Kentucky, 11; North Carolina, 10; Tennessee, 10; Virginia, 10; Alabama, 9; Mississippi, 8; Louisiana, 7; South Carolina, 7; Florida, 3.

Shake-Up in Diplomatic Service. Washington.—A general shake-up in the diplomatic service is sched uled for February 1. It is stated that President Taft has decided to leave ail diplomatic selections save one to Secretary of State Knox and his de partment advisers, and that a num ber of important changes have al ready been determined upon. The one personal appointment which the President will make is that of J. G. Schmidlapp of Cincinnati to be am bassador to Russia to succeed Wil liam Woodville Rockhill. Bill to Improve Navy Personnel. Washington. Senator George C. Perkins introduced a bill in Die sen ate with a view to regulating and increasing the efficiency of the per sonnel of the United States navy and marine corps. The bill contains a number of interesting recommenda tions for organizing men, and in the case of a navy, what would be more in harmony with the present condi tion? The bill has small chance of passing at this session, but is likely to provoke discussion, and may torm the basis of future legislation. Rivers Bill Passes House. Washington.—ln record time and spending money at the rate of $7,000,- 000 an hour, the house of representa tives in about three hours, passed the rivers and harbors bill, making ap propriations amounting to $21,894,861 for river and harbor work during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912. No vote was taken, the hills being passed by unanimous consent with the ex ception of a slight typographical er ror in the printed bill, not a word was changed from the form in which it was presented. Honduras Faces Another War. Puerto Cortez, Honduras —New breastworks have been constructed here and Maxim guns mounted at a point commanding the harbor. For eign interests fear that a three cor nered revolution is about to break out, and that foreigners will suffer unless protection is afforded by the United States. Policarpo Bon'lla is believed to be in Mexico, fitting out an expedition to attack Celba, aad an attack by forces under former President Manuel Bonilla in a revo lutionary movement is also feared.

Of course to one so modern as I tun, enfant demon siecle, merely to' look at the world will be always love-' ily. I tremble with pleasure when I think that on the very day of my; leaving prison both the laburnum and •the lilac will bo blooming in the gar-; dens, and that I shall see the wind stir into restless beauty the swaying [gold of the one, and make the other toss the pale purple of its plumes so 'that all the air shall be Arabia for me. Linnaeus fell on his knees and; wept for joy when he saw for the 'first time the long heath of some’ (English upland made yellow with the' tawny aromatic blossoms of the com .mon furze, and I know that for me,’ Ito whom flowers are part of .there are tears waiting in the petal {of some rose. It has always been so ; with me from my boyhood. There is [not a single color hidden away in the. [chalice of a flower, or the curve of: |a shell, to which, by some subtle sym jpathy with the very soul of things,j [my nature does not answer. All trials are trials for one’s life,; jjust as all sentences are sentences of death; and three times have I been (tried. The first time I left the box to Ibe arrested, the second time to be led back to the house of detention, the (third time to pass into a prison for jlwp years. Society, as we have con- Istituted it, will have no place for me, [has none to offer; but nature, whose isweet rains fall on the unjust and just [alike, will have clefts in the rocks [where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undis !turbed.. She will hang the night with [stars so that I may walk abroad in [the darkness without stumbling, and [send the wind over my footprints so (that none may track me to my hut; ishe will cleanse me in great waters, land with bitter herbs make me whole.—Oscar Wilde’s “De Profun- Idis." FIDELITY IN SMALL THINGS iDally Record Shows What Grave Ac cidents May Be Traced to Trifling Neglect. The cause of the sinking of the |Pere Marquette car ferry, while not [definitely known to any of the sur vivors, is pretty well determined to Ibe from portholes which were open Iwhen they should have been closed, [says a writer in Popular Mechanics. These ports were not so very large, only twelve inches in diameter, and only a few in number, but the man whose business it was to see that they were closed when the lake roughened, for some reason failed to do his duty. It doubtless seemed a commonplace .thing to go back to that small after [compartment and make sure the open ings were shut, but the failure to do so cost the watchman's own life and !that of many others. It is another sad lesson of the importance of fidel ity in what are, or appear to be, small things; and yet most of the serious accidents in modern transportation seem to trace back to apparently trif ling neglect. A switch light is poorly trimmed; as the tender thinks to him self, what matters a sin"’ .amp among the hundreds of ( *’ that [nightly connect the furthermost parts [of the land with a cobweb of ruby lines. And so the story could be ex pended undefinitely, but the moral al (ways comes to the fore again, that (faithful, conscientious performance iof duty is as essential in the un known, humble worker as in the lead er of men or the hero who saves the 'battle. Always Profit In Industry. If you have great talents, industry will improve them; if you have but. moderate abilities, industry will sup ply their deficiency. Nothing is denied to well directed labor; nothing is to be. obtained without it. —Joshua Rey nolds. Wicked Old Horse.
