RSE OUR GREAT WEALTH. & appears from a bulletin of the Census Department iat the average wealth of the inhabitants of the United States te $1,820. ‘There are now 79,000,000 of us, and our total national wealth is more than ninety-four bill- ions of dollarsi—«n enormous aggregate, far exceeding that of any other nation and justifying a repetition of Muthall'’s remark in 1888, when, comparing the United States census returns of 1850 with those of 1880, he sald: “Yhis prodigious growth of wealth in thirty years is without a parallel in the history of the human race.” Yet individually we are not as rich as the English were five years ago, nor the Australians. The former Were then credited with a per capita wealth of $1,510 and the latter with $1,380.. Our own individual wealth ‘was then $1,170, which was below that of the French, which was $1,260, and only slightly above that of the Danes, at $1,150. But great Britain’s entire national ‘Wealth at that time was less than sixty billfons, where oure was eighty. Our first United States census, in 1790, put the aggregate of national wealth at $620,- 000,000 and the individual at $165. It will be interesting to learn from the fuller census returns how much of this enormous American wealth fe in the hands of the genoral public as compared with that in the hands of the millionaires. Is the evenness of @istribution as great here as abroad? Apparently not. According to The World Almanac there were 8,612 mill- fonaires (n the United States in 1902, of whom 641 were 1m New York. In that year Mngland altogether had only 700 amd in Austria there were but 26! In felicitating ourselves on our prosperity it is well to remember that fact. Theoretically and statistically we are remarkably well-to-do. Actually much of our ‘wealth is in the keeping of the very rich men and cor- Porations who within ten years have been enabled to add to their holdings at the expense of the public at large!

It would appear that “all the comforts of home” which the Pullman car is warranted to provide now in- clyde facilities for courtship and a rectory with a parson ready to tle the knot. We must agree with Dr, Loren, ‘who said in praising our railroads: “Human ingenuity may go @ great way in the future, but I do not see how you are going to improve on whet now almost reaches perfection.” ‘These brides probably do not know, for they are far too young to remember, that even as late as 1861 It was not considered quite the thing for ladies to travel in sleeping-cars. There was small provision for their pri- Yaoy, and when Mrs. Lincoln made a trip from Albany ‘at night with a party of ladies she established a prece- ent for the use of sleeping-cars by her sex. ‘The palace car of the present time is a very remark- able development of railway architecture. It costs, to begin with, as much as a brownstone residence—$60,000 and usually surpasses it in richness of interior finish @nd decoration. Mahogany, bronze, silk plush, silk tap- estry, are combined with an artistic effect that makes the cars transient abodes of luxury such ae the passen- ger rarely géts in his own home and even more rarely fm his hotel.

It was from St. Louis, also, by a somewhat odd ecincidence, that Pullman's original parlor car made its first regular trip. The first dining-car also, in 1868, ran @ut of St. Louis. THE AMERICAN PIE. Dr. Lorenz as he departed took a fling at the Ameri- an pie. He said to a reporter on the Celtic: ‘Both the physical and mental energy of your People are marvellous, + @nG they are undoubtedly the chief cause of the wonderful growth and romperity of your country.
