CENSUS REPORTS DESIGNATE TRE
“PROFESSION” CLASSES
The census bus provided us u defini
tion of "the professions.” A good
many folk bate wondered a good many
times what the "professional classes”
were. The census has decided. They
constitute:
Actors.
Architects, designers, draftsmen, etc. ]
Artists and teachers of art.
Clergyment including religious and
charity workers.)
Dentists.
Journalists.
Lawyera( including abstractors, no
taries and Justices of peace.)
I Literary and scientific persons.
Musicians and teachers of music.
Physicians and surgeons (Including
non-medical healers.)
School teachers and professors in
colleges, etc.
Next to the satisfaction of knowing
who may be referred to ns professional;
people the census bulletin brings strik
ing information in regard to the num-1
bers of these professional Individuals.
Thus in the decade from 1900 to 1910 |
there was an Increase of 95 per cent in
the number of men ami 58 per cent in
the number of women actors. The
number of male architects, etc., in
creased 111) per cent, and of women in
this profession 30U per cent, Ldterary
and scientific persons increased, the
men 103 and the women 136 per cent.
Lawyers are actually at the bottom of
the list, the number of men increased
6.5 and of women 33 per cent. The
number of clergymen increased in the
aggregate rather little, the men In the
profession 15 per cent and the women
184 per cent. In school and college
teaching mens numbers grew 14 and
women’s 48 per cent.
The “professions," It will be observed
are very comfortably keeping up with
the general growth of the country, and
then some. Notwithstanding, there are
great numbers of people that believe in
shutting out immigrants and deporting
the colored people, the two classes
which, decade after decade, do increas
ingly large proportions of the mere, de
spised “work” of the country. Without
them we should surely be In a had
way.-—New York Press.
THE MISERS INCOME
Thanks to the advice of financiers
who, for obvious reasons, he admitted
to his friendship, the Kaiser’s private
fortune has increased to such an extent
# of late years that It was estimated a
short time ago by the eminent German
authority, Herr Rudolph Martin, that
, he Is easily the richest man in Ge. -
many, having an annual Income of
£1,000.000 derived from possessions
valued at approximately £ 20,000,000.
Apart from the Kaiser’s fortune, his
son, the Crown Prince, has a separate
income of £ 50,000 drawn from pro
perty valued at nearly £1.000.000, while
the Kaiser’s brother. Prince Henry, en
joys some £30,000 a year on account
of an estate worth half a million. Al
together the principal members of the
Hohenzollem family own property
valued at approximately £25,000,000.
The Kaiser’s fortune has been mainly
built up by investments in many busi
nesses. He has some very large hold
ings in the big German steamship lines,
is extensively interested in the diamond
mijte enterprises of German West Af
rica, .owns forests and lands to the
value of three and a half millions,
carries on a large lumber business, and
has a horse-breeding establishment in
Western Prussia which brings him in
a handsome revenue. Furthermore, he
has great financial interests in a mu
nicipal lager-beer brewery at Hanover,
and founded an extensive pottery fac
tory on his private estates at Cadinen.
Altogether the Kaiser owns about 40
castles and country houses, valued at
£2,000,000 and various property in Ber
lin, approximately worth '£1,000,000. In
seven different provinces he owns 74
estates, comprising close on half a
million acres.
It is interesting to note that ever
since Germany began to make prepara
tions for a great war the Kaiser has
been investing immense sums of money
on the other side of the Atlantic. He is
one of the largest landowners in the
Western States—not in his own name, of
course—and owns a considerable sec
tion of property in the West of Canada.
So notorious is the fact that it was at
one time a standing joke at Vancouver
that, although the Kaiser was a large
owner of property in a certain district,
he declined to join the local ratepayer’s
association, which would have been
materially assisted in its propaganda
by the use of his name.
ASSORTED CORKSCREWS.
The corkscrew is a crooked thing of
devious design, the greatly curved cor
ruption of a straight and simple line;
and many folks whose mental stuff is
solid and obtuse are fans about the
corkscrew and adepts in its use; they
work the famous implement to modify
their health and bring a swift reduc
tion of their fat and flabby wealth.
Now, tribulation often hides -serenely
in its den, and doesn’t waste its pre
cious time in wild pursuit of men; but
people hunt for trouble when it Isn’t
’round about, and if it crawls into its
hole they fiercely dig it out; and of the
many handy tools with which the work
is done, it is but fair to mention that
the corkscrew’s only one.
For pen and ink and printing presses,
and cannon, sword and spear, may open
founts of trouble as a corkscrew opens
beer; the frying pan, the motor bike,
steel trap and wedding ring—each has a
private brand o fwoe which it delights
to spring. So every fellow to his taste,
and each to his belief, and to his chosen
means of seeding out his chosen grief,

BUSY SHIP YARDS
Announcement that five yards on the
Delaware river are now building forty
six ocean-going vessels, with reports
of a like activity in New England
yards, indicates that one of the strong
est reasons for a modification of the I>a
Pollette act is fast growing stronger.
The producing capacity of American
ship builders is increasing with every
month of the war. Marine journals
state that whereas the average cost of
making a vessel in Great Britain was
$40 a ton, it is now $K0, and that the
output of British yards Is curtailed by
the necessity of doing forced work for
the navy. Difficulties of exportation,
at the same time, have checked the old
tendency of our steel-plate manufac
turers to sell more cheaply abroad than
■it home. The American industry is,
of course, building for the future as
well as the present, for the demand for
ships after the restoration of peace will
be acute. Operators can now sell their
vessels on the Atlantic at a profit even
under the oppressive seamen’s law:
when the war is over and the freight
rates drop, they can sell them to ad
vantage. But it will be the grossest
national mismanagement if we fail to
observe the enlarged and economical
ship-building capacity developed by our
own yards, with every means in our
power. The one certain guarantee of
its maintenence is a prosperous Ameri
can marine.—New York Post.
WISHING.
I’ve only but to bend my head
To see the Western skies grow red
Beyond the home I used to know,
And hear the gentle cattle low
As they come to the pasture bars,
And see the vanguard of the stars
Come dimly Into the pale sky,
And hear the wippoorwill’s sad cry,
And feel the all pervading love
Of the old home I wearied of.
And I have but to close my eyes
To hear my mother’s lullabies,
And feel myself grow young again:
And be a boy as I was then.
With cotton line and alder pole
Beside the old-time fishing hole.
Neglecting line and hook and bait,
And sitting till the hour grows late,
A little figure all alone,
Wishing and wishing I were grown.
That poor, pathetic little tad!
With all on earth to make him glad
Waiting with longing for the years
Of disappointment and of tears!
The years are good, the tasks to do,
The chance to stand straight, strong
and true,
Head up, for all you thought worth
while,
To meet misfortune with a smile;
But I think grown-ups now and then
All wish that they were young again.
-^-J. M. Lewis.

GROWTH FROM WITHIN.
No grafted grace bears sweet fruit
season after season. Your growth and
usefulness must be from within. You
must attend to yourself—the deep
down self which is really you—the
man within the body—tho deathless
human thing, something divine, but
only somewhat, which counts for good
1 or ill. Nothing is so important as your
■ self—ru> fortune or circumstance so
1 worth your thought and care. N6 game
1 is so fascinating as that in which you
• move upon the checkered life board the
1 pawns of intent and resolve, cooly and
• with sheer desire to win against the
foes of your spirit, and thereby com
mand destiny.—Richard Wrightman.
