Facts from the Census,

tainS many curious as well as important
statistics. In looking over the tables the
most striking feature is the number of ma
tionalities represented in our population
We have three Greenlanders in the United
States, five negroes born in Sweden, six
born in Russia, 673 whites born in Africa,
and 2,638 persons who are without ma
tive country, having been born at sea.
Five and a half millions of our popula-
ton are of foreign birth. OF these H.
855, 1927 are Irish, and are distributed in
the greatest number throughout Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, and in the vicinity
of New York city. The Germans number
1890, 40, and are most numerous in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri. The
English number 55O,904, and are the
most numerously located in and
about New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, and in the vicinity of Providence
r. I. They are also found in
considerable numbers in Rochester, Gin
cinnati, Chicago and Milwaukee, and in
the coal regions of Pennsylvania. The
Welsh number IA, 533, and the Swedes
and Norwegians, 211, ,574. The two latter
reside largely in Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Illinois, and are very numerous in
and around Chicago. There are 493, ,834
persons enumerated as born in British
America, and these residents are natural
ly found in largest numbers near the
Canadian line, though they are well rep
resented in the larger cities and in the
manufacturing districts of Massachusetts.
The Chinese, about whom SO much ado
has been made, number only 62,674, and
are mainly confined to the cities and min
ing districts of California and Nevada.
The French number but 116.240, the
Spaniards but 3,701, and nearly third of
the latter live in the city of New Orleans
There are II, 149 Italians and Al 1903 Mex
icans,' the latter nearly all residing in
California and Texas.
The total population of the country is
38, 925, ,598. OF these c, ,439, ,206 are males
over the age of 81 years; 12,505, ,923 of
the entire population are reported as en-
gagged in "gainful and respectable pur-
suits" Taking into consideration that
the number of persons in the country
above the age of 10 years is 26, 2S9, 945,
the fact above stated seems strange; but
an examination shows that a large por-
ton of those thus reported are females
.under the age of 16. Of males between
theages of i6 and SO, of which there are
10, 429, $50, there are 8, ,486, 734 reported to
be engaged in some gainful occupation;
while $50, SIC above the age of 90 are
also properly accounted for. The rest
are composed of he vicious and idle, the
sick, the studious, and those who have
retired from business. There are in the

1T is quite easy to prevent manure
from becoming frozen during the win
ter. By proper management, it may be
worked over so as to be made in the best
condition on the opening of spring for
use on grass land to be plowed for corn,
or fine enough to harrow into plowed
land. To effect this, it should be kept
piled in compact heap, in which shape
it will fernlent, and maintain sufficient
heat to resist the severest frosts and melt
all the snow that may fall upon it, and so
keep moist enough to prevent fire-fang-
+ ing. The heap should be turned once or
twice, and the outside coarse manure put
into the center. BY this treatment, early
in spring, it may be made fine and per-
