FROM THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW.


The population Of ancient Rome is
question full of contradiction and diff
Guilty. Thus Plutarch makes the returns.
after the civil wars of Marius and Sylla,
10 have been only 100000; whilst Tao
titus states the inhabitants, in the reign
of Claudius, to have amounted to nearly
six millions. To reconcile such conflict
ing estimates, it must be recoIlected.
that S in the year of the city 662, by
the lex Julia, all the inhabitants of Italy
were made to belong to some tribe, and
became full citizens. A census was then
held in the different towns, and trans
mitted to Rome some authors have adj
ded these 10 the Roman census, and some
have not" Again, it should be further
kept in mind, as Mr.. Burton properly
remarks, that the object of the census
was not TO ascertain the population, but
the number of persons capable of con-
tributing to the support of the State by
bearing arms or paying taxes. In calcu-
lating, therefore, the actual population
Of Rome, great allowance must be made
for those classes which did not fall with
in the observation of the censor.
1--WE can form some estimate as to
the numbers in the time Of Theodosius,
as P. Motor states the houses TO have
been altogether 48, 382. From this
statement Gibbon estimates the popula-
ton at 100000. In The fourteenth
century it was $4,000; under Leo x. So,
600. 10 1909, the inhabitants were
13S, 1858, without reckoning the Jews.
In 1865, Gibbon states them at 161, $50.
In 1919, was informed, that they were
about 10000, of which nearly a tenth
were ecclesiasticks.
From an official statistical AImanack
published at Rome till the year 1900
but since discontinued, perhaps on &C.
count of the tale Of misery il told i
would seem that the city could then boas
$4,000 inhabitants--of whom 8 were
bishops, 1886 priests, 1887 monks, 1886
nuns. At this rate, Seth only of tht
whole population, instead Of / 10th. i
dedicated to the exclusive service Of re-
ligion-a much smaller proportion thar
is commonly imagined, and perhaps tina,
is actually true-for it may be easil,
supposed thaS Rome would not feel de
sirous ofpublishing to Christendom (sit

ated statement other ecclesiastical { ORR.
That traveller Judging by the Is Con
panies of Preachers" whom he NEE
in the streets, would pronounce them
more considerable division ofthe peopl,
is certain; but nothing is Sc falIacious

GENERAL CAUTIONS IN COUNTRY
COOKERY

Soups are never TO be filled up, or
have even drop of water, hot or cold,
added; and are never to boil briskly.
They are to be long, long over the fire,
simmering rather than boiling. And all
soups having roots or herbs are to have
the meat laid on the bottom of the pan,
with good lump of butter. The herbs
and roots being cut small are laid on the
meat. 1t is then covered close, and set
on a very slow fire. This draws out all
the virtue of the roots and herbs, and
turns out good gravy with fine fla
vor, from what it would be, if the water
were put in at first. When the gravy
is almost dried up, then fill your pan
with water; and when it begins TO boil,
take off the fat. Never boil fish, but on
ly simmer, till done enough. Beefquick
boiled is thereby hardened; simmer or
slow boil it in not too much water. Veal
and poultry are to be busted with -four,
and put into the kettle in cold water.
Cover and boil slow as possible, skim
ming the water clean. 1t is the worst
Of faults to boil any meat fast. In bak-
ing pies, quick oven, we'll closed pre-
vents falling of the crust.
Wasteful or indolent people overlook
calculation; and too many may think
but little of the wholesome and nourish-
ing qaIlties of food. But there are well
informed and most actively good men,
Recommending to the world the results
of much inquiry and experience therein.
However lightly may be thought of a
cent, on a single meal of victuals, yet
when the sum of years meals is cal
culated, for person, family and ma
ton, it becomes striking and important.
A cent for meal amounts to three cents
a day.
One person, at three cents day, saves
in the year, Sll.
One family of five persons. S55.
A nation of five millions of people,

The cent thus saved by the good
housewife, on every plentiful meal Of
the whelesomest food, would be sufi.

war by the freeman of America, in de.
fence of their country against the wiles
and the violences of the great enlight
ened world
