The Census Of Russia.
Nova Vrem'va


On Jan. /, 1882, the inhabitants of
Russia numbered 81, 1854, living in
sixty-three provinces and eleven dis
tricts. During the year 1883 there
were 4,043, 863 births and 2,S26,43
deaths registered, the growth of the
population being 1,217 ,425 inhabitants.
At this rate the population would rise
to a hundred million in 1890, and in
sixty or seventy years it would double.
At present the population of the en-
pire is 94,0O0,000. 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.
It has been ascertained that 80 per
cent. of the children die under the age
of five years, which means 100000
deaths per annum among young
children. 1t 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 b rn 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.

WeliingtOn's Watches.

The duke of Wellington was ex-
tremely fond of watches, aud needed to
have at least half dozen within reach
and all ticking their liveliest at once,
and this is but half the story. Fearing
some i'll might befall those just under
his eye, orders were given when
ever the great man travelled to
have as many more stSwel away
in a portmanteau made to fit his car
riage. One time-piece was, above all
others, his acknowledged favorite; it
was of old-fashioned English const .uc
tion, and had once been the property
of Tippoo Sahib.
Another of the dukes treasures had
strange history. Napoleon had ordered
it OF Breguet for the fob of his brother
Joseph, and, as an extra courtesy, di-
rected a miniature map of Spain to be
wrought in niello on one side and the
imperial and royal arms on the other.
just as this lovely gift was finished,
Joseph was driven out OF his kingdom
by the duke, and the emperor, for
reasons best known to himself refused
to take or pay for the costly bauble.
At the peace it was purchased from
Breguet and presented by Sir J.. Paget
to the duke of Wellington.
Another watch owned by the duke
was made for Marshal Junot, and
great theological curio ity it is. There
has never been more than two others
like it. They are constructed to mark
both lunar and weekly movements. The
great duke gave preference to certain
montres de touche-and he had several
OF them--a contrivance of Breguet's,
having sundry studs or knobs by which
one could feel what hour it was, and
this merely by what seemed "iust fumb-
ling in his pocket"

side of the way at about the hour she
had been accustomed to go to market,
but no matronly little figu-e stood on
the steps.
The door opened when I had nearly
passed, and the figure of the husband
appeared. He came slowly down to-
ward the gate, which he had almost
reached, when the door was again
thrown open, and smothered voice
called:
Harry"
In moment he was at her side
clasping her in his arms and stroking
her hair soothingly, with sad, comfort
ing kisses.
All! well, well, the lonely heart does
not escape sorrow, and it was not your
scalding tea, Mrs. Timmins, that
brought tears to my eyes, as your
daughter passed the dining-room door
with her baby in her arms.

A VARIETY OF LOVES

III S. Keller.
There's love for the girl in the sealskin
sacque,
And love for the girl without;
There's love for the girl who never goes
back
On her young man with a doubt.
There's love for the girl who's got the tin,
And love for the girl who's none;
There's love for the girl of the rolling-pin,
Who knows when the pies are done.
There's love for the girl of the rural part,
And love for the girl In town;
There's a love for the girl of frolicsome
heart,
And love for the girl with frown.
There's love for the girl Of "hoss- car" fare,
And love for the girl on the street;
There's love for the girl of dimples rare,
And love for the girl-with feet.
There's love for the girl with tresses light,
For the girl who don't care a fig;
There's love for the girl who sheds at night
The whole of her auburn wig.
There's love for the girl in the east or west,
And a love for the girl in the south;
But perhaps the girl that you love the best
Is the girl in the north-with \ mouth.

however, escaped, as there was no jail

House Drainage.
Halls Journal of Health. ]

There is a common mistake regarding
house drains-that they are made too large.
It is incorrect to suppose that a very large
drain is safer than one of moderate size, be-
cause TIE smaller the drain the more con-
centrated the Aow, and the more thorough
the flushing when larger amounts of water
than usual are passed through it; as on wash
ing days 1t may be taken as rule that no
private house, no matter how large, can need
for its drainage, pipe larger than four
inches.
