"A green one, who had crossed the

gifts of God, and given for this purpose,
that we may carefully cultivate them.

this proportion had sunk to l5.l of the
population, namely, to S17,S75 persons.

other table, showing that during the ten
years in question the proportion of ages

The Chinese carte de cisite is curl

paper, with the owners name inscribed
in large letters-the larger the more
exquisite. For extra grand occasions the
card is folded ten times; the name is
written on the right hand corner, with
