fsG 70 his Account.
A few days ago a man in Pennssi.
vahia married the younger sister 81
the wife of his son, and the news
papers there are amusing themselves
with figuring out the relationships
which this marriage creates. The
bride becomes the mother in-law OF
her elder sister and the latter the
daughter-in-law of her younger sister.
The father and son become brothers
in-law and the children of the son, of
whom there are five, become the
grandchildren of their aunt.
This is very simple compared to the
problem which was proposed for So
luton sone years ago, when it was
asserted that there vert two families,
whom we may call Smith end Jones,
which proceeded to mix themselves
up in a way that puzzled students of
genealogy and would have driven a
whole college of heralds crazy.
Mrs. Smith was a widow with a
daughter, and Mr.. Jones was a
widowcr with a son.. Jones, ST., mar
Red the daughter and Jones, Jr., The
mother. There were children born
to each marriage, and then the ques-
ton arose. What relation were the
children to each other and what and
how many kinds of relationship did
they bear to their parents? This life
is not long enough to untargle the
skein. but We remember that IL
brilliant genius, after spending a great
deal of time and labor over the
problem, trinmphantly announced as
his conclusion of the vexed question
thst all the children were their own
srandfathers and grandmothers.
We sometimes hear it said, $50 and
so is only a relation by marriage" and
we do not stop TO think that all legiti-
mate relationships arc of this kind.
The law in all civilized countries regu-
lates all relationships with much care,
fixing the degree of kindred, but
every one, if it be reduced to its
lowest terms, is a relationship by or
by virtue of marriage.
In America a distinction in terms
is made which does not seem TO OBJ
tain in England. Here the term
"stepfather" has a very different
meaning from "father-iu-law,' but
many of the best English writers of
fiction speak of the stepfather as the
ia.her-in-law. The term is probably
more nearly correct than s%tcpfather,
but it is decidedly confusing and per-
picking to the American reader who
see it for the first time.

Exactly how many people there
are in the world Il is impossible to
say, since no census is taken of many
populoss countries, like China, while
the number of people who live in the
jungles of Africa q only be guessed
at.
As long ago as 1868, Benin, 3 lead
ing German authority, estimated the
population OF the earth at 100000
900.
In 1880, the same authority set the
figures al about 100, OOO,O 900 more. He
did not base the new estimates on
the natural increase of the people of
the world, but explained that more
accurate figures and estimates had
enabled him to guess more closely.
Two years later Mr.. Benin estimat-
ed the earths population at 22,000,-
900 less than in 1880, the decrease b.
ing accounted for by the fact that
new Investigations had compelled the
reduction of the estimated population
of China from something over 40o,-
100000 to about 35O,OOO,O00.
Probably the estimate for the year
1891, made by a learned German
statistician. is the most nearly accu-
rate of any yet Made-1,4S0.000,0 GO.
1t is believed that the worlds pop
ulation is increasing at the rate of
nearly 100000 n year.
The most populous continent is
Asia, which contains two countries
China and India-whosc swarming
millions outpumbcr the people of all
the other countries of the continent.
The most densely peoplcd continent
is, OF course, Europe. The number
of people in Europe is known with a
great degree Of accuracy. There are
about 36O,O00,O0O; and the continent
which accommodates all these peo-
pie is so small that there are upon it
an average Of ninety-three people 10
the square mile.
The people upon the two CONT
nents OF North and South America,
without the Attic regions, are less
than $4,000. 900 in number, or Only
in the square mile.
When Americasis as denselr popu-
as Europe, this half ofthe world
will have a population of nearly l.
400. 900, O00-practically the same as
that of the whole world at the pres
ent tine.-Ihe Youths Companion.

AS is usual, in this city, after a
severe winter, business is picking up
gradually and bids fair TO become un-
usually good during the spring. There
is no reason why, after so long and
cold winter, that such should not be
the case, and as the days grow brighter
and more encouraging to the mer-
chants and farmers, just TO that OK
tent will business people and business
brighten up and money become more
plentiful, sales heavier and a general
financial case all round. Generally
speaking, the outlook is favoroble.

Coming.

The Labadie-Rowell company will
open three nights engagement in
Ravenscraft's Opera House next Thurs
evening. 14th INST, with "Ingomar."
1t is said to be Il great company. The
Toronto (O.) Tribune Of Dec. %, 1891,
saws.
A medium size house greeted the Labadie
Rowell company last night at Clark's opera
house in the presentation of Mrs. Lovelrs
popular drama, "Ingomar." The play is one
of the sort that has plot and the acting is
of a heavier type than the usual run OF
companies that have visited Toronto. The
audience was pleased very much with the
excellent ability displayed in the cast-es-
peciallv on the part of Mr.. Labadie as
"Ingomar," the hero, and Miss Rowell, the
heroine of the play. He is a strong character
in tragedy, and Miss Rowell's acting showed
that she had given much thought and study
to the very trying role of "Parthenia."
Praise is due her for the sweet, enticing
manner in which she led her savage lover
down the tortuous path of love and estab-
lished him in the citadel. The other
characters were also well taken. showing the
company to be one of genuine merit

William Slicer.

The Oakland Republican of Dec. %
contains lengthy and complimentary
sketch of the Slicer family, from
which we learn that the original home
stead was what is now the AlmshOust
farm of this county, hear Cumber
land. This was owned by Nathaniel
Slicer, who died in 1917 or 1918, lcav-
ing widow and three sons-John.
George and Neal The two latter went
to Ohio, where a numerous body of
their descendants still live. Johh
married Miss Rachel Frantz at Selbys-
port, and became the proprietor of the
famous Blooming Rose" estate. H.
reared a large and int, resting family,
and his home was the radius of much
hospitality. All of his three sons
and five daughters still live, among
them William Sheer, proprietor of the
Central hotel, this place. OF this
gentleman the writer of the sketch
records the following:
N1llldn III early lie started III the
mercantile business in Oakland in its infant
DAYS then to Ohio where he married very
interesting lady. They have not been
blessed with children, but for some years
have been generously caring for a widowed
sister and her four little children. After the
death of his father William Slicer came from
Ohio to Grantsville and conducted the
Der of years. The next move was to the
booming town of Meyersdale, where he es-
tablished the Slicer house and ran it for
number Of years in successful way. About
four years ago he returned to his native State,
and has since then been at the head of the
leading hotel in Frostburg, associating with
it the livery business, in which operations
he has had his usual success. Indeed he is
known to be very comfortable in his bust
ness affairs. As a hotel keeper he enjoys an
excellent reputation, especially for good
order and discipline about his house. On
account of failing health he will retire from
the hotel next spring and Confine himself to
the livery business alone. He has always
been rated high for integrity, drectness
and fairness in business reations-always
clear headed prompt and unfaulty in his
dealings, with impulses alwaysin the direc-
ton OF generosity and fairness.

Respectfully Referred

Among J. G. Schonf .rber's "Chrst-
mas Wishes" is this overpowering
gem:
That our subscribers would pay up.
The JOURNAL takes the liberty to
refer this iece of bad manners to the
Frostburg Le1ger,
For it is evident that Schonfarber
has taken an unfair advantage of his
delinquents by placing this and other
ungodly wishes among lot of good
ones.
Like Knights Of Labor generally
Schonfarber is not above boosting his
fads along on the top of the current Of
really meritorious measures of reform.
He wants his hobbies saved by
the good company they are supposed
to keep.
