about what any man says, Is it true ?
The most rigid investigation is in
vited into the testimonials published
in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Special attention is called to the high
character ofthe persons whose testimo-
mails are published by the proprietors

Russian merchants do very little ad-

majority Of the humber classes cannot
read, and this is not to be wondered at,
as there arc thirty-aiE letters in the

JAPANESE STATISTICS.
Tho Population OF Japan Ii Rapidly In
creuginE.

The population OF Japan Is Rapidly In
crensing.
Mr.. Ono. n Japanese statistician, has,
just published some interesting figures
concerning the remarkable increase of
population in that country during the
present reign, and especially since 1872.
In January, 1872, the population was
30, III 600; in December, 1889. it had in
creased to +0,0T0,O00. Since 1887 the an
nual rate of increase has been thirteen
in every 1000, SO that, if this date is
preserved, the population will double
2tself In 80 years. In England the rat.
OF increase is 1872 per 1000, while i'll
most European countries it is between
Six and nine, and in France and Spain
much lower. Mr.. Ono points out that
the number of births in japan is lower
Than IN most civilized countries, except
France, and that the number of illeriti-
mate children is smaller there than in
European states. lie therefore at
tributes tho great increase of the popu-
lation to the development of wealth
since the restoration and to n decrease
IN the death-lntc among children.
From the tables which he gives. he in
fers that the national wealth has
doubled in Japan in the last ten years,
nd he shows that the increase in the
population has been greatest in the
northern and southern part of the en-
pirc. and least in tho central part-a
phenomenon due 20 migration from tho
central provinces.

COLLECTING DEBTS IN FRANCE
Points OF Difference Between the syste

Points OF Difference Between the System
There and In This Country.
The matter practiccd in the collec-
ton OF debts in France and in the
United States does not differ materi.
ally save in the collection and the
mode of procedure. The first step
which is necessary for creditor in
France to take before he can use le-
gal means to collect debt due HIM
is to obtain judgment against the
debtor, which is rendered by a JUS
tice of the peace, provided the
amount does not exceed $40. The de-
fendant is required to appear in court
on certain day and arrange for a
settlement of the account and pay a
part or the whole of it or show cause
why.
If this arrangement is not made.
the defendant is second time sum.
moned to appear, and should he
then fatty refuse payment judgment
is rendered against him. The cost
Of Judgment, together with that of
the summons, is betrayed by the
plaintiff and a copy of the former
sent to the debtor. He then has
three months grace to appeal before
civil court from the judgment already
handed down. Failing to exercise
this privilege, the matter is put in
the hands of "huissier," whose
functions partake of those of both
the bailiff and process server, but his
methods as well as his perogatives
resemble neither one nor the other.
The huissier upon request OF the
creditor makes an abstract state
ment of the condition of the debt,
the fee for preparing and serving the
same varying according to the
length of the instrument and not ac-
cording to the importance OF the
debt. It's average cost, however, may
be placed at $3.50.
In case the debtor ignores the doc
ument an "assignation" is served
upon him, and eight days thereafter
his furniture is seized and placed in
the hands of the huissier. The ex-
pense entailed in the preparation of
these notices is betrayed by the cred
itor but if at any moment the debt
or agrees to liquidate in full he isnot
only required by law to discharge
his original obligation, but to add to
it the costs of the Judgment and fees
of the huissier. Whether this sys-
tenn is better than the plan pursued
in tho United States is matter OF
opinion. on.--Pittsburg Dispatch.

The Oldest Church,

The Oldest Christian church in the
world is at Rome. Not far from the
great church of st. Maria Maggiore,
in street bearing the same name, is
the much smaller church of ST. Pu
entiana, which tradition, as well as
the opinion of archaeological experts,
declares to be the most ancient of the
Christian edifces of Rome.
About the middle of the first cen
tvlry a certain Roman senator named
Pudens had house on this spot. He
was a Christian convert and, it is
said, a distant relative of Paul the
Apostle, who lodged with him from
A. D. Al to 80, and converted his two
