idea of the magnitude OF the task
which England has in the management
of her magnificent possession may be
obtained from the figures given by the
census .aken In 1891, which presents
some very interesting and significant
facts
IL appears from this enumeration
that Britain's Indian empire comprises
I.soo. 900 square miles, and in 1891 had
a population of cs7, 600. 900 The males
exceed the females by 1900. In ten
years the Inhabitants increased "a, ooo,-
600. Contrary TO the condition of
things among the western nations the
town population is only on per cent
OF the whole. The ancient Brahmanic
religious belief still counts 2i1. 0oo, 900
adherents. The Buddhists number
1000, 900. The followers of Moham-
med count up 57.00o.0O0. The ancient
pagan or native worshipers number
1900. 900. and there are 5000 who fol-
low the faith Of Zoroaster. The Chris
tians number 2.250,o00. The people of
India are not long-lived. OF this inn
meuse multitude only 15.0oo.0O reach
the age of 90. The illiterate comprise
pa. 900 of the population.
One cause of the success of the Brit
ish in governing India Is found In the
fact that lis different languages OF d.
alects are spoken. though some of
them are doubtless very similar. The
differences OF race, religion and
language render a combination against
the English rulers almost impractic-
able. in view of their judicious policy.
The British management OF the coun-

human life. especially CT female and
child life, has stimulated the increase
of population 90 such adegree--more
than 5000 900 annually. that the linn

The Costly Carelessness of n Man
Who Didn't Do 1t.
From Harper's Young People.
To say what you mean and mean what
you say Is a good rule to follow always.
An amusing story which illustrates the
value of this course was told some years
ago of an old gentleman who was visiting
a rolling mill for the first time. He had
heard wonderful stories of the machinery
In the mill and was DESTROYS Of putting
some of them to test:
II have been told" said he to the ham,
norman. as he watched the great steam
hammer rising and failing. that good
Zimmerman can break the crystal Of a
watch with that thirty-ton hammer
Eyes. SIR" said the Zimmerman 'it can
be done
Il should like to see it," said the old
gentleman, eagerly feeling in his watch
II can do it, SIR"
And will your said the visitor, draw
ing out his watch. "come, 1 am anxious
He laid his watch on the great anvil
plate. the hammer rose to its full height,
and the next instant all its ponderous
weight, with a crushing force that shook
the ground for an acre round, came down
on the watch.
ly; 'ff you don't believe that crystal is
broken, just stoop down and you can see
it sticking to the hammer"
The curious old gentleman swallowed a
whole procession of Jumps and gasps be-
fore he could speak.
But 1 forgot to say he exclaimed,
that 1t was to break the crystal without
injuring the watch
20, yes" said the hammerman-"yes I
know; 1 have heard that rubbish myself,
but it's all CANNON. 1 don't believe It,
But you can break the crystal every time T"
II the visitor had said what he meant
he would undoubtedly have saved his
watch, but 1t must be confessed that II
the Zimmerman had not been one O. the
meanest men in the world he would have
saved it anyhow.
