On January 1, 1882, the inhabitants OF
Russia numbered 81, 118, ,5I4, living in sixty
three provinces and eleven districts. During
the year 1881 there were 4,O43, 1858 births
ano 2, 1926, 43s deaths registered, the growth
of the population being 1911, ,425 lnhabl-
tants. At this rate the population would
rise to hundred million in 1890 and In
sixty to seventy years it would double. At
present the population of the empire Is
ninety four millions. The growth of popula
tion is largest in the southern parts and
smallest in the northern, where also the NOR
taIity is greatest It is difficult to say whether
this is to be attributed to the climate or the
economic conditions of the country. The
average of life in Russia is twenty six years
in Europe and thirty one in Asia. This fact
is explained by the enormous mortality OF
young children. 1t has been ascertained that
sixty per cent. of the children die under the
age of five years, which means one and half
million of deaths per annum among young
children. It has also been proved that more
than ha'f of the male population die before
attaining the age for military service. On an
average, person is born in the Russian
empire every eight seconds and death oc-
ours every eleven seconds. In st. Petersburg
a human being passes away every fifteen
minutes

DIR. G. K. Mills, of the University hospital
Philadelphia, recently delivered a lecture at
the National museum, Washington, upon
Premature Disease Among Men in Public
and Private Life, Brought on from Over
Mental Strain" In the course of it he said
that statistics showed the average age, taking
all classes of men in the United States, to be
about fifty years, and this shortening of life
is due almost entirely to over mental activity
or Irregularities in life. Taking the average
age of a few of the most eminent English
and American statesmen, that of the English
was found to be seventy-two years and that
of the American seventy. The English chief
justices have averaged a life of sixty-eight
years, while the Americans only reached
sixty. He said that, taking 146 representa-
tives and fifty-nine senators of the American
congress, and 12I members of the British
parliament, who had died during the period
from 1861 to 1883, he found that the average
age attained by the members of the British
parliament was sixty-eight, while the Ameri-
can representatives only reached ffty-five
and senators sixty-ons years. These deaths
were caused by general breaking up of the
system and debility, brought on by over
work, nervousness, mental worry and irregu-
lar habits.

bare-headed, walking in the direc-

FAVORED A HIGHER FINE.
BY BILL NYE.

VIII. Taylor, the son OF
the present American Consul
at Marseilles, was a good deal
like other boys, while at
school in his old home, at
Hudson, Wis, One day he
called his father into the
library and said:
''Pa, | don't like to tell
you, but the teacher and |
have had trouble"
'What's the matter now?"
"Well, / cut one of the
desks a little with my knife,
and the teacher says I've got
to pay a dollar or take a
lickin'."
Well, why don't you take
the licking and say nothing
more about it? | can stand
considerable physical pain,
so long as it visits our family
in that form. Of course, it
is not pleasant to be logged,
but you have broken arule of
the school, and ] guess you'll
have to stand it. | presume
that the teacher will in wrath
remember mercy, and avoid
disabling you so that you
can't get your coat on any
more"
But, pa, | feel mighty
bad about it already, and if
you would pay my fine I'd
never do it again. | know a
good deal more about it now
and | will never do it again.
A dollar amt much to you,
pa, but it's a heap to a boy
that hasn't got cent. IF /
could make a dollar as easy
as you can, pa, I'd never let
my little boy get tloggcd that
way Just to save a dollar. If
| had a little Teller that got
licked bekuz | didn't put up
fer him, I'd hate the sight of
money always. I'd feel as
eff every dollar | had in my
pocket had been taken out of
my leittle kids back"
well, now, I'll tell you
what iii do. I'll give you "a
dollar to save you from
punishment this time, but if
anything of this kind ever
occurs again I'll hold you
while the teacher ticks you,
and then I'll get the teacher
to hold you while | lick you.
That's the way | feel about
that, II you want to go
around whiting up our edu-
cational institutions you can
do so; but you will have to
purchase them afterwards
yourself. | don't propose to
buy any more damaged school
furniture. YouprobabIy grasp
my meaning, do you not? /
send you to school to acquire
an education, not to acquire
liabilities SO that you can
come around and make an as
sessment on me. | feel a
great Unrest in you, Willie,
but ] do not feel as though
it should be an assessabIe in
terest. ! want to go on, of
course, and improve the prop
erty, but when | pay my dues
on it ! want to know that it
goes toward development
