THE STATUE OF BUDDHA.

Well, some time g n Of these tooth
pullers sold his collection, and the Hamp-
den molar passed into the hands of a man
who, having nothing else to do, wrote a
pamphlet about it. Naturally some other
equally unoccupied member of the upper
clawses' printed a reply, denying the au-
thenticity Of the relic. To settle the ques.
ton it is said that the poor skeleton was
again unearthed and subjected to the
scrutiny of an anatomist, who decided, be-
u of the width of the hip bones, that
the person who owned it in life was a wo-
man, not a man. But the sturdy Britisher
who has the tooth still stands by his be.
lief that it once helped masticate the food
of the hero of Chalgrove. The row over
the affair has obscured temporarily other
controversies equally important to the free
born Englishman-such as the question
whether King Charles l ! nelt at the exc
%cutioner's block or lay prone before it, and
the fully as momentous question about
the site of the Waterloo ball. Regarding
the latter mooted point Sir William Fraser
has battled long in favor of a Brussels
granary, while his opponents, who like
wise know it all, declare that the Sound
of revelry by night" came from a convent
hospital in the Rue des Cendres. .i-&
Meanwhile the more credulous and
therefore more happy antiquarians of Cey-
Ion bow down in worship before a three
pronged hollow grinder that ornamented,
long ages ago, the sacred mouth Of Buddha.

The Belated Spanish Census.

They do things deliberately in the Ibe-
rian peninsula. A census of the Spanish
kingdom was taken in 1887, and the results
have just been made known. The total
population was 1850, 2l6, or an increase Of
951 ,9O1 since the census of 1877, or "a per
cent. per annum. Between 1860 and 1877
the annual increase was only .35 per cent,
and the greater increase in the last decade
is attributed not only to the absence Of
political turmoil, but also to the better
hygienic conditions of tho larger towns.
The increase in population was lowest in
those provinces which are poor and i'll pro-
vided with communication, such as Soria,
Teruel and Almeria, while it was greatest
in Huelva and Biscaya.
