The present population Of Germa

The present population Of Germany
proper, or of all the territory compre-
hended in what is now known as the Ger
man Empire, is estimated in round nun
bers at 75,000,00O. Of these, according
to a late census, 37,S 5000, including
100000 Jews, are Germans; 2,450,OOO are
Poles. 100000 Wends, $4,000 Czechs,
100000 Lithuanians and Courlanders,
10000 Danes, and 230 900 French and
Walloons. The Poles live exclusively in
the east and north least of Prussia; the
Czeches in Silesia, about Oppein and
Breslau; the Wends in Silesia, Branden-
burg, and Prussian Lusatia; the Lithu-
anians and Couranders in East Prussia
the Danes in Sleswig: the Walloons in
Rhenlsh Prussia, around AK la Cha oelle ;
the French partly there, and partly in
the newly-acquired Provinces of Alsace
and Lorrain. There are in the Empire
81 universities, of which the best known
are at Berlin, Halle, Bonn, Erlangen.
Leipsic, Gottingen, Heidelberg, Jena, and
Konigsberg. Fourteen are Protestant

16 polytechnic institutions, likewise
some 500 gymnasiums or high schools, a
large number of special schools, and over
$4,000 elementry schools. The attend
ance of children at school for at least
four OF five years being compulsory in
nearly all the German States, the proper

The Sanguine Bride.

A not unusual kind of bride is that
sangulne creature who believes that life
IS now to be all honey and butter, and
that never a cloud will cast it's shadow
over the sunny sky. All is so new-and
1t will never grow old2 Holiday time
has come in perpetuity, and there are to
be no more painful lessons of duty to
learn, and DO more disagreeable tasks of
self-suppression to fulfill. Tempers, dis
putes, peevlshness, anxieties, are buried
beneath the sugar and almond of the
wedding-cake, and life is to be fairy
tale, where "they live happily for ever
after'' finishes the picture. Ali the buttons
