tries of Europe.
The census of 1875 gave tho popula-
ton OF the empire at ABS, 900, 0OO Since
that time Tonquin has been lost with
several million people, and Kashgaria
mas been reconquered. Among no peo-
pie with any degree of civilization is
the birth rate so high as in China, and
although the death rate in the densely-
crowded districts is very great, there is
every reason to presume that there are
now $50, 900, 600 people in China
These figures represent more than
one-third of the population of the
globe. 1t is greater population than
that OF all Europe, and three
times the number of people on
the Western continent. Even al these
enormous figures the average number of
people to the square mile for the whole
empire-eighty-fve-is not so high as
in some parts of the United States.
In the great mountain ranges, on the
arid plains of Kashgaria and the snowy

population is sparse, but in the eight
central provinces of China proper-in
the fertile, alluvial soils-the popula.
ton is denser and more crowded than
in any other region of equal extent on
earth. The villages there are almost
beyond enumeration, and the mum bers
of the walled cities incredible to those
who have not seen them. In the
two Kiang provinces, at the mouth OF
the Yangtz river, with an area of 80, 600
square miles, the population in 1875 was
72,000,00 and there were 125 walled
cities.
The census of 1875 was taken when
the richest portions of these two prov
inces had been devastated and depopu-
lated by the TAPPING rebellion. Since
that time there has been great in
pouring Of people from other regions OF
the empire, especially from those dis.
tricts where the famine of 1878 pre-.
vailed. The natural increase of popu.
lation has also been very great, and II
would be safe to say that these co. OO(
square miles have more than 80, 600, 0OC

CAUSES OF BADNESS.

Physical Conditions Which Retard or
Stimulate Growth Of tho Hair.
Dyspepsia is one of the most common
causes of badness. Nature is great
economizer, and when the nutrient ele-
ments furnished by the blood are insult
ficient to properly support the whole
body, she cuts off the supply to parts
the least vital, like the hair and nails,
that the heart, lungs and other vital
organs may be the better nourished In
cases of severe fevers this economy is
particularly noticeable. A single hair
is sort of history of the physical con-
dition Of an individual during the time
it has been growing, If one could read
closely enough. Take hair from the
beard or from the head and scrutinize
it, and. you will see that it shows some
attenuated places, indicating that at
that period of its growth the blood sup
ply was deficient from over-work, or
anxiety, or under-feeding.
The hair falls out when the strength
of its roots is insufficient to sustain its
weight any longer and new hair will
take its place unless the root is dis
eased. For this reason, each person has
a certain definite length Of hair. When
the hair begins to slit or fall out, mas
sage to the scalpis excellent Place the
tip of the fingers upon the scalp and
then vibrate or move the scalp while
holding the pressure steadily. This
will stimulate the blood vessels under
meath and bring about better nourish'
ment of the hair. A brush of unevenly
tufted bristles is also excellent to use
upon the scalp, not the hair.-From
