JAPANESE STATISTICS.

The Population OF Japan Il Rapidly In.
creasing.
Mr.. Ono, a Japanese statistician, has
just published some interesting figures
concerning the remarkable increase oil
population in that country during tn:
present reign, and especially since 1872
In January, 1872, the population wa:
80, Ill 900; in December. 1889, it had in
creased to 40.010.000 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
itself in IS years. In England the rate
OF increase is 1872 per 1000, while in
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 illegiti-
mate children is smaller there than in
European states. He therefore at
tributes the great increase of the popu-
lation to the development of wealth
since the restoration and to a decrease
in the death-rate among children.
From the tables which he gives, he in
fers that the national wealth has
doubled in Japan in the last ten years,
md he shows that the increase in the
population has been greatest in tho
northern and southern part of the en-
pire. and least in the central part-a
phenomenon due to migration from thu
central provinces.

-. Useful ParFots.i
Youths Companion.

1t has hitherto been customary to
fritter away the intellectual force of
parrots by merely teaching them TO
say" Pretty Poll" and things of that
sort, but the municipal authorities of
q French town have instituted what it
is to be hoped will become general
reform.
The poor box at the town hall, it
seems, had for long time been in a
condition discreditable to the more
prosperous Of the inhabitants. To re.
mind them of their duty toward their
poorer neighbors parrot was pur-
chased, which was installed close to
the box and trained to cry, For the

The result, it appears, has been
highly satisfactory, pence and silver
coin having been freely given in re-
spouse to the birds appeal.
q The idea is capable of being applied
in variety of ways. Parrots might
be used for example, to warn passersby
Of the proximity OF wet paint on
fences or shop fronts. or to remind
people ON entering house to wipe
their feet.
In fact, parrots might be made
really useful members of society.

Fairs In North China.

A writer in the North China Herald
describes the fairs in northern China
There are but two months in the yea,
when the people do not hold large fairs
ut convenient centers, at which all i'm.
aginable wants of all customers are
supplied. The exceptions are the sixth
month, when the roads are generally
impossible, and the first, which is de.
voted to rest and recreation. There is
constant succession Of these gather
ing at any given district, at which it i.
not uncommon for ten thousand per
sons to be congregated. There is nc
method of advertising the exact date al
which fair will begin except by red
slips Of paper put up in public places
and these notices are often very mis-
leading.

TIGER.TEETH NECKLACES.

Very Odd Ornaments Worn by Savagee
Ivory and Metal Arm Rings.
In examining the objects of ornament
worn by savage, barbarous and civilized
tribes, we find a marvellous variety Of
materials and designs. We are amazed
at the ingenuity displayed in making
the most unpromising materials into
things of beauty, says q writer in the
Popular Science Monthly. Teeth, claws,
shells, pearls, bone, hair, ivory, feathers.
beans, seeds, grasses, leaves, fibers Of
all kinds, crystals, metals-these are

man has learned to use, moro or lea

The whale-tooth necklaces of Samoa
and the neighboring islands were really
attractive, and were SO highly valued
that only kings and the most powerful
chiefs could afford or dare to wear them.
They consisted simply of the natural
teeth perforated for stringing. They
are now rare and seldom seen. Those

An interesting neck ornament WAS
the palaoa of the Hawaiians. 1t con-
sisted Of a carved and polished piece Of
bone and ivory attached to an elabo-
Fately braided decoration of black hair.
This ornament was worn only by chiefs
Of high rank and had some talismanic
virtue.

The Eggs a Grasshopper Lays.

How many eggs does a grasshopper
lay? Mahomet, according to the Kha-
lif Omar, said, when these insects fell
upon him, that he could read upon their
wings the words. I'VE are the leoions
of God and we bear ninety-nine eggs.
When we produce a hundred we shall
deyour the world" In a paper read
before the Paris Academy of Sciences,
NJ. Kunckel d'Herculai says that Ma
homet was wrong in supposing that the
locust laid exactly ninety-nine eggs at
a time, although he was quite right in
attributing to it extraordinary fecund-
ity. NJ. kuncnGi has been carefully
watching some lOcusts for months, and
he finds that one Of these insects will
lay as many as from 500 to 900 eggs
during 4 season of from ten to eleven
months. He points out that if the
French government wish to get rid of
the locust plague from which Algeria
suffers, it is particularly advisable to
Kill the insects just before the season
when their eggs are laid.-LondoR Daiiy
