American bellies IN Paris are frequently accused OF

The Wuntteler, OF Vienna IN an article entitled IA
Human Deficit" makes tile following remarks:-
In every 10000 inhabitants 953 deaths occur in
Austria ana Hungary; 25S in France 200 In Prussia,
$50 in Holland 700 In Great Britain and Ireland 222
In Belgium and 36l IN spain. Truly 1t is sad pre-
emnence TO stand next TO Spain III the rate OF
tally. But what Is our position with respect to
elementary educatona For every $4,000 Inhabitants
the number or scholars at the elementary schools is
IN Austria and hungary $780, in France 100, IN Prus
STA $50 In Holland $50, III Great Britain ana Ire
land ,l00 III Belgium no. in SPAN 200. Hence we
ind the two countries where the rate or mortality Is
highest are, by a striking analogy those In which
the proportion OF scholars IL lowest. But q scep-
TIC may say perhaps the high rate OF mortal
ity arises from imm0derate production and
Ia caused ia fact by too large Il number OF births.
Hubner shows that for every 200 inhabitants there
4O3 births III Austria and Hungary 250 IN France
4o1 in Prussia 35I IN Holland, $40 IN Great Britain
and Ireland 800 In Belgium aud 400 in Spain. III we
consider the increase OF the population by the ex-
OF births over DEATHS we find that 1t averages
for every 10000 inhabitants, so IN Austria and Hun
In Great Britain and Ireland, IS in Belgium and 80
IN Spain. From this we see that France alone
among the countries with largely visited schools
stands below Austria IN the rate OF Increase but that
all the others which surpass her on the one point do
on the other also. We, with our sparse pOpula
ton and rich natural resources have, therefore,

Notwithstanding the spread OF European
notions among the Turks-strlctly eloseu
to all male visitors the society OF fereign
ladies is eagerly sought by the wives oil
all the higher functionaries. The rooms
they occupy, even in the wealthiest houses
are low and dark, and furnished in very
bad taste, chiefly owing to the mania OF
the Turkish women for tawdry ornaments
from Vienna or Paris. BY the side OF
the finest specimens of Oriental art may
frequently be seen vase of common DO
hemian glass, with dusty wax flowers,
which they prize more highly than many
of the beautiful ornaments of their native
manufacturers. The same is the case with
their dress, which is caricature OF the
fashions of Paris. They have discarded
the velvet jacket and trousers, for stays,
boots, long trains and immense chlgnons.
Ii has also become the fashion to learn
music, and a teacher on the piano-forte
(of course LADY, has made a fortune by
giving lessons in the harems.
"Another fashion is to have your por-
trait taken. Their favorite artist is an
English woman-a Miss Curtis. Some
time ago this lady was commissioned to
paint a full length portrait Of one of the
Sultanas. The Sutana was short and
stout, and Miss Curtis painted her
accordingly. This, however, gave great
offence, and the Sultana insisted on being
made foot taller, saying, that she
was only nineteen years old, she would be
sure to grow to that size. But instead of
growing taller, the Sultana only grew
stouter; SO that at the end Of a twelve
month the portrait was almost unrecogniz-
able. Miss Curtis was then reqested to
paint the picture the third time, and it
vas now nailed up to the ceiling of the
harem."
