The CesauA o. Russia.
fNoya vremya.1

On Jan. l, 1882, the inhabitants OF
Russia numbered ~, 1854, living in
sixty-three provinces and eleven dis.
;ricts. During the year 1883 there
were 4.043, Si3 births and 2,S26, 43S
deaths registered, the growth of the
population being lat, 425 inhabitants.
At this rate the population would rise
to hundred million In 1880, and in
sixty or s,yentr years it would double.
At present the population Of the EN-.
pire is 9i,0O0.,00. The growth of
population is largest in the southern
parts and smallest in the northern,
where also the mortality is greatest.
1t 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.
II has been ascertained that 10 per
cent. of the children die under the age
of five years, which means 900, 900
deaths per annum among young
children. II has also been proved
that more than half of the
male population die before attaining
the age for military service. On an
average, person is born in the Rus.
sian empire every eight seconds, and a
death occurs every eleven seconds. In
st. Petersburg human being passes
away every fifteen minutes.

According to NJ Claretie, of The
Paris Temps, Paris is shortly TO
possess Buddhist temple. There are
IN the French capital o considerable
number Of Buddhists who have no place
OF public worship. The want is, il
seems, to be supplied by rich English
lady. She has bought Q plot of ground,
and the masons are already ct work. 1t
appears that this is not the first time
that Buddhist temple has been opened
in Paris. During the last international
exhibition, when 80 many rich Hindoos
came to France with numerous reti-
nues, an application was made to N.
Bardoux, then minister Of public works,
for permission to open Buddhist
temple in the vicinity of the Champ de
Mars. The minister consented; but it
was said that he had some difficulty in
getting Marshal Mac Mahon to sign the
necessary decree. He yielded only on
its being pointed ont to him that the
guests of France could not be refused
permission to perform their religious
duties.

THE FATHER or THE WEATHER

Ben: Perley Poore.l
James p. Espy is tho father of the
present system of weather signsl
service. He was Q Pennsylvanian BY
birth, and so poor in early life that he
had not been able to learn to read when
he was seventeen years of age. He
subsequently mastered the English
language and the classics, and long
before he knew why began to study the
mystery Of the moving clouds, and to
form his storm theories. At last he
came to Washington and asked of con-
gress an appropriation Of $1,000 a year
for five years, but he was met with
jibes and rilicule. senator Preston of
South Carolina said Espy was q mad
man, too dangerous to be at large, and
the senator would vote special appro-
priation for prison in which to coniine
him. Espy was in the senate gallery
ut the time. Wounded to the quick, he
left the capital and went to New York,
where he delivered course of lectures
with great success. They were re-
peated in Hoston, and he made money
enough TO enable him to visit Europe.
Not long after reaching Liverpool,
Jan. q, 1889, great storm occurred.
He went to Lloyd's, consulted the news
papers as they arrived, noted the direc-
ton of the wind as given at different
places, and from these data constructed
the first great storm map everprepared,
with the hour points marked. Every
line and curve and point exemplified his
theory. He was at no loss now for
audiences. He appeared before the
British association of scientists, at Lon
don, at which Sir John Herschel was
present, an interested auditor. He
crossed the channel to Paris, and the
Academy of Sciences appointed COM
mittee, composed OF the illustrious
Arago, TO report upon bis observations
and theory" The effect of this report.

SOME FASHIONS IN NAMES.

Cor Cleveland Herald.
II would seem that fashions in sign.
ing ones name would be superfiuous;
that il one had name that was the
thing to sign. that and nothing but
that. But, alas! ones simple name is
not sufficient. Some time ago certain
young men Of social aspirations started
the fashion of representing their first
names merely by an initial letter. while
the middle names, often improved upon
or invented for the purpose, were
spelled out in full. The novelty of
this has worn off somewhat, and We are
not uuduly impressed by card bearing
the name of y. Fortescue Browne or
rs. de Smythe Jones" But now that
women have come to using the same
fashion We are little surprised. That
it is not simply ripple upon the sea
of fashion is shown in the fact that sew
eral wedding invitations have gone out
with the brides name similarly en-
graved, both in New York and phila-
delphia.
A later custom than this is being in.
PRODUCED at present, that of signing the
entire name in full, and also that of
joining two names as surname. The
first comes from England. from whence
we are getting 90 many of our fashions
nowadays. English women and men
sign Mary Elizabeth Jones. or Herbert
Lionel Brown, rs q mere matter of
course, and il he or she were given as
many more names, would use them all.
for, why are names given them il not
for use? And do not three or four
names look more important than one
with initials
The second, that of joining two
names as q surname, comes from
rance, where it is customary to use the
name of the wife as well as the hus-
Sand. There is much more reason for
this Latter custom than the former.
This USAGE makes il an easy matter to
give woman her proper place among
her OWE or her husbands family. Mrs.
Jones is very indefinite. There are SO
many Mrs. Joneses that we cannot tell,
unless We know her we'll, which Mrs.
Jones il is We know. But Mrs. John
Hamilton Jones tells us at once that a
Miss Hamilton married Mr.. John Jones,
and that Mr.. John Jones married one
of the Hamilton girls.
In the case Of widow who has mar
ried again, it is quite customary to see
cards engraved, Mrs. j. frances.
English Frances being the first nus
bands name. This custom obtains
more generally among women who have
attained something of reputation So
cially, artistically, or otherwise, which
they do not wish to lose by hiding their
identity under o new name.

A striking picture of low life in Naples is
painted by a vivacious correspondent of the
London Telegraph, who, having eyes, is, un-
like many tourists, apparently able to see.
The poorer classes form, perhaps, three-fourths
of the population of 100000 souls, and they
constitute tho most obtrusiye feature of the
Landscape. With sunshine 9anl,a few centes-
smi worth Of maccaroni they can live and be
happy. The sun is to them patron, host
friend. cOnsoler, and physician. When it is
cold or rainy their very physical aspect
changes. They shrink, they wither, they
cease to sing, they speak harshly and discor-
dantly. They creep instead of walking. Tho
mondicants forget their eloquence and aims
asking. Even the shopkeepers lose for the
time their craft Of loquacious lying. There
are commodities in Naples which are sold for
3 centissimi, and five of these to half-penny
or American cent. The continuity of the
pettiest commerce leads to an incessant going
to and fro,a chatteringand gesticulation that
never ends, q constant wrangling in door
ways and yelling from high-up garret win
dows, u shaking Of fists aud throwing out Of
extended fingers, q bowling of children and
barking of dogs, Growing of cocks and cack- :
ling OF hens wOndrous to SEQ and hear. All
these things 60 toward making up what the
Neapolitans are fond of terming the "moyi-
monto"-the undying, swaying, surging to
and fro of this half million souls.
