The latest statement of the Uni
ted States debt places it at Sl,4OO,.
OOO, 900. In this connection it is i"
teresting to glance at the debts OF
the other nations. Take Italy, for
instance. Her debt is $4,000, 900,
coo, or about three times as much
per head as our own. Russia, who
is apparently eager for war, has a
debt Of $500, 600, O0O. Great
Britain, whose population is but
$4,000, 900 against our $4,000, 600,
has a debt of 81, 10000, or about
as much az we have, and yet Great
Britain is supposed to be exception
ally we'll off. France, brilliant and
elastic France, whose recovery
from her terrible wal a few Years
ago has been the wonder OF the
world. is CARRYING Il debt Of 34,1JO,
OOO, 900, OF five tunes as much per
head as our country is carrying.
Our debt is about s25 per head all
round, that Of Russia almost $40
per head, that of Italy nearly $50
per head, that OF Great BritainS1O0
a piece. and that of France about
$3.50 per citizen. The interest
charged on a debt of this sort is
something enormous, more than

Ohio has remarkable decrease in
the number OF marriages in proportion
to the population. During the year
preceding tho war there were over %, :
600 out Of population of about ,340,
600. The war reduced this number to
an average of about 1880. and the re-
turn of peace ran up the number to
30.479. This large increase denoted
that there were good many faithful
girls who waited for the men to whom
they had plighted their troth. After
that the average number of marriages
WAS about 20. 900 year for a number
Of years, but following the panic OF
1873 there was drop to 23.4S9. The
revival Of business in 1882 was marked
by another increase to $4,000. but the
succeeding depression of 1884 again re-
,duced the number to %, 720.
