The DueIIn Austria and Russia.

In Austria and Russia the duel is far
more dangerous affair than in France. In
the former country pistols are used at close
range, or furious and prolonged struggles
with swords have almost equally serious
effect. Dueling in the army is rife, and
among civilians it is carried on with no less
bitterness of feeling. Nevertheless some
men are often engaged with but slight i'll
effects.--London Tit-Bits.

An italian lady does not allow her polite
ness to suggest a possibility of future in
timacy. She will shake hands with an
American when introduced to her for the
first time. After that she considers a
graceful courtesy sufficient. Should she
be sick the Italian lady will visit her and
express her sympathy by taking her hand
and pressing it against her heart, but there
is no free, caressing intimacy about it,
"Never touch the person-t is sacred" is a
proverb among the Italians, however warm
hearted and sociable they may seem.-F. II.

Tho Terribly Ovcrcrowdcd Condition of
New York City.

AhS hSHriotJ OVCrcEoWHcu COCu1C1On or
New York City.
A recent census report quoted by the
North American Review shows that
there arc 1000 houses in New York oc.
cupicd by number OF families SO great
as to imply that there are nearly four
families (3.S2) for every house in the
metropolis. When il is recalled that
there arc thousands Of beautiful homes
IN New York occupied each by one fam
lily only, that miles of avenues and
streets arc lined with houses each indi-
Vit;TClly owned and occupied by one
family group, it will be realized to
what extent in other parts Of the city
crowding occurs, when to accommodate
an average of nearly four families TO
each house the remaining houses only
are available. Comparing the condition
OF New York with Philadelphia tie DIFF
ference is mcst marked. In Philadcl-
phla the average number Of families TO
each house is one family and onc-tcnth,
as against three families and over three
quarters in New York for each house.
In New York the average for each
Eousc is nineteen people, while in Phil
adelphia the average is not six people
per house. The death rate tells the
rest. In New York it is twcnty-cirht
In every thousand; in Philadelphia
twenty-five per thousand. While New
York has nineteen pcCplc to each house,
London has only seven, with 4 death
rate per cent. lower than New York.
The extent CT the c:owding in New
York is made painfully apparent by the
statement Of the national census, which
shows that out Of q population of 1 &C.,
coo, no less q number than 1,2GO, 900 live
in apartments, fats and tcncucnts
Still further is this confirmed by the
sanitary census made by the police in
September last, in which it was found
that there were hcrdcd in what the
board of health dcsignatcs as tho "tcn-
cmcrt district DO less than 27G, 600
families! This number, exceeding q
quarter of q million families, averaging
hve persons in each, is so great as to cX-
cite surprise that such q condition can
exist in the chief city OF the now world,
where conditions of civilization, as IL
lrStratcd by the character and number
of homes, ought to have their most per-
feet cXcmplihcation. But the facts rs
presented in official reports, in the
death rate, and in the personal obscrva-
ton Of ~ 3a and women who take q
deep interest in the condition of human
kind in the metropolis, show condi-
ton OF density full Of danger, in which
the indications toward improvements
arc few and far between.

they are handed TO the director, who reads them

variety of subjects; and foolish mixed in with
others will make II difficult for the players TO
place them in order, and will make greater nom
sense when completed. Take these sentences

A babe fair and beautiful; its heart was pure as

knew
This pretty, graceful child great things was born
to do.
As years rolled on. and age gave grace and wisdom

Her sentiments so beautiful in poems were en-

Her fame in literature has spread, and now is
world-renowned;
AT home" with equal skill she vies with the best
