Marriage In Urban and Rural Regions

In the north Atlantic division, which
constitutes the principal manufacturing
section of the country, section made
up largely of urban populations the
single are found in smaller proportion
than i'll any part of the country and the
married and widowed in larger proper
tions. Conversely the south Atlantic
and south central divisions, which are
almost purely agricultural and rural,
contain the largest proportion of single
persons and the smallest proportion of
the married. These results are directly
opposed to popular belief 1t is assumed
that the development of urban popula-
ton diminishes the number of the mar
ried. The explanation which naturally
suggests itself is that the larger proper
ton of marriages i'll the manufacturing
sections of the country is due not only
to tho fact that the native white popu-
lation married young and in large pro-
portion at all ages, but also to the fact
that the foreign whites, who have set
tied i'll large numbers in the north At
lantic division, were either married or
of a manageable age at the time OF
their Immigration

The TnIlest of tho Races.

Quoted under the auspices of the Inter

average taller than any other represent
atives of the human family. The fol-
lowing has been CLEANED from their l2O
page report: The English professional
classes, who head the list as the tallcst
of adult males, attain the high average
of feet 8. il inches. Next OH the list
come the males of all classes in the
United States, and Il minute fraction
behind them come the English of all
classes; hence we may conclude that
taken rs Il whole. the British and their
English speaking cousins in America
are approximately of the same height
In other European countries the average

The Aus;rians, the Portuguese and the

RussIA's ARMIES OF BEeeARs.
Entire Villages Whose Inhabitants Mako n
Livelihood SOlcly by BcgglnE.

| Livelihood Solely by begging.
| Mr.. Godfrey Dragc, in tho course of
u report on Russia addressed to tho
royal commission on labor, contributes
some interesting details regarding beg
gars in that country. Thousands of men,
women and children, he says, regularly
set out from their homes with tho OBJ
jcct of earning their livelihood, not by
work, but by begging.
Tho "Shouvalilii, who havo their
headquarters i'll the villages of Shou-
waikiki and Kiln, arc among tho most
notorious of these bcggars. They fire.
Quently travel i'll troops of 10 or 12, al
leging that they have been burned out
of their homes and giving graphic
account of the fire. At other times they
go out singly and beg for aims, pretend
ing to be deaf and dumb or insane, with
placards round their neclls tcstifying to
their infirmity. They travel on foot to
tho Don and frequently return with o
cart and one if not moro horses
The district of Soudogda, which is
ono of the most unfertilc parts of Euro
pean Russia, is another headquarters of
the beggar army As soon as field work
organize themselves into artels and start
out to beg. The whole population of the
village of Marinin live by means of
begging. Cripplcs and blind persons arc
III great request and flock from the sur
rounding country into the villages to
join those members of the bcggar artcl
who have 10 blind persons or cripplcs
in their own family. AS soon as the
fasting season begins they return homo
with their booty, which includes objects
of the most varied description, for they
never refuse any gifts These they sell
at the next fair and live during the
spring and summer Oh their profits and
OH what they can steal from persons in
their own neighborhood.
The example of the Soudogda beggars
has been followed in other localities,
especially i'll the governments of Kos
troma and Tvcr. In tho latter there is "A
group of villages where girls and women
earn their livelihood by begging. Some
of them find their profession so lucra-
tive that many girls prefer it to mar
riagc and remain beggars during the
whole of their lives. The kalouni travel
with horse and cart and number of
assistants, and they choose their compan-
ions from among the fecblest children
and cripples. Blind children arc highly
priced, and they frequently add to the
pltiful appearance of these children by
taking their eyes out of their sockets.
The followers of the kalouni often MAIN
their hands and wound themselves, and
If enough real cripplcs cannot be OBJ
tanned they are manufactured by tying
up one arm or leg. The kalouni seldom
beg themselves, but confine their attcn-
ton to the supervision of their assistants
