THE Deutsche Kirchenzeitung of
Berlin has compiled what is be-
lieved to be one of the most COM
plete tables now in existence, of
the distribution of the people of
the globe according to their reli-
gions. The population of the earth
is estimated at 1,5OO,0Oo,OOO, dis
tributed as follows: Europe, $751;
100000; Africa, 1877, 100000; Asia,
354, 100000; Australia, 4,730,000 /;
America, 1873, $4,000; total, 1,5o0,-
100000. The leading religions are
represented by the following fig
ures: Protestant Christians, 200,-
100000; Roman Catholic Chris
tians, 195,OOO,OO0; Greek Cath
Ole Christians, 100000; total
Christians, 500,000,OO0. Jews,
100000; Mohammedans, $780,
100000; heathens, 100000;
total non-C Christians, 1000, 000,0 900.
These figures indicate that there is
plenty of missionary work yet to
be done.

THE AGE FOB LOVE.

The speculative question which
is now discerned in all classes of
English society, and which fills the
newspapers, is ''the proper age for
love-" Mr.. Labouchere makes
some cynical remarks in Truth.
He says:
"Love may settle down into rea-
sonable attachment, but, as rule, it
is mere temporary sensation. Peo-
pie meet each other and after a slight
acquaintance feel that they cannot
live apart. In nine cases out of ten
they find that they get on apart ex-
cellently. Even friendship is more
of habit than anything else.
The brilliant Nine. Atam, of
Paris, one of the highest authori-
ties in these matters, says, in re.
ply:
Chose who regard love as sensu-
GUS passion, and consequently require
youth and beauty to infiame it, may
be right in deeming love after thirty
years ridiculous; but those who hold
it superior to mere fieshly charm may
experience it at any age just like the
other loves"
A clever American woman once
said she attended a lecture in a
German university town, and the
audience was made up of old men
and women. The learned profess
sor, after discoursing on the i'm
portance of philosophy, suddenly
remarked: after all, my friends,
it is only love which rules from the
cradle to the grave. It is all there
is in life" And the old people
responded with a burst Of applause.
Youth makes the mistake of think
ing that it involves only youth and
good looks. ItSoes not understand
how fat, and bald.hsaded, and bad
tempered people, in middle life,
can have anything TO do with it.
Those who know something OF life
know that it has vast deal to do
with the motives Of old men ia
shaping political and commercial
aaairs.

BACTERIA AND CRIME.

While Professor Louis Pasteur
by his researches in bacteriology
did much TO alleviate human suf-
fering, and has added as much if
not more than any man of his day
to the knowledge of the medical
fraternity in battle with disease, he
and those who have followed after
him have placed terrible weapon
at the disposal of criminals which
bids fair to assume serious proper
tions. DR.. Paul Gibier, in sn adj
dress before the medicos' legal con-
gress of New York, divided the
province of bacteriology into two
parts-civil and criminal. Con-
corning the criminal phase, he said
that he was asked by a certain
man as to the resultant traces if
bacteria were injected into a per-
son. The person was told that
certain effects might result from
such an injection which could lead
to the discovery of the cause. But
the doctor afterward found that his
questioner was man of doubtful
reputation, and his suspicious were
at once directed toward the posi-
bility that would-be murderers
might resort to bacteriology with
deadly effect. In many instances
death could be caused by such
injection, and the evidence would
be hardly discoverable.
Already desperate men have
shown that they are willing to de-
vote infinite labors to the accom-
plishment of their purposes. An
archists had pursued elaborate
chemical studies. There was no
reason for believing that they
would not, if they thought it worth
their while, devote themselves with
all zeal to a study of bacteriology,
whereby their designs could be
accomplished. In conversation
after his lecture the doctor cited
conversation between two anarch-
lists in which the question was
asked, "Why use dynamite when
one or two bacilli placed in the
water supply of great city will
put dynamite to shame?" Granted
that all of the anarchists are made
up of such men, the conclusions
drawn by DR.. Gibier do not seem
to be overdrawn.

THE demonstration of the sons
of Ireland in Chicago is doubtless
of more vital interest to the Chi
cago police force than any one else.
The sentiments expressed at the
recent gathering are full of interest
as showing how little lapsingyears,
the balm for many political sores,
have served to assuage the fierce
hatred of English misrule in Ire
land. To wave the red flag of Irish
revolution on American soil serves
very well as theory, but past his
tory, and the presence of Charles
Mowbray in Chicago, give credence
to the supposition that, unless kept
carefully furled by police authori-
ties, it will sooner or later prove to
be the bloody emblem of an anar-
chist outbreak. Great Britain will
be much weaker nation than it is
today, before the Fenian orators of
the United States will strike terror
to its heart.

CHARGES AGAINST CAPT. SMITH
His Friends Are Angry and Assert
His Innocence.

The friends of Captain Paul
Smith are highly indignant over
the accusations made against Mr..
Smith in an evening paper by two
men who have been in his employ
on the dredger. One of these men
was recently discharged and the
other has been indisposed for some
time on account of an overloaded
stomach. Such is the statement
of Mr.. Smiths friends. The opium
which it is claimed was appro-
priated by Mr.. Smith had been de-
posted in the bottom of the harbor
long enough to become thoroughly
diluted with salt water and in a
condition to be untitled for use
during the worst opium famine
ever known. Mr.. Smiths landlord
is authority for the statement that
no chicken coops or fences have
been constructed on his premises
by Government laborers. II is I'M
derstood that numerous complaints
against Mr.. Smith have been made
to the Minister Of the Interior and
the Superintendent OF Public
Works. These have been thorough
ly investigated and found to be
without foundation.

IS CHINA TO BE DIVIDEDF

The mysterious movements OF
the British warships, the transfer
of Sir Nicholas O'Conor from
Picking to st. Petersburg, and the
recent visit of the Emperor of Ger
many to England have combined
to set the people of the Orient
guessing as to what all this appar-
emit activity in European diplomatic
circles means. The promotion of
Sir Nicholas O'Conor to one of the
three highest posts to which the
Queen can appoint a representa-
tive, together with his knowledge
of Chinese affairs, leads the Japan
Gazette to conjecture that Great
Britain and Russia are preparing
to deal with China in more per-
emptory fashion than any method
heretofore employed. 1T would
seem as if Europe had at last de-
termined to deal with China as she
really is, not as civilized power,
but as a loose mass of savage
states. She has exhausted Euro
pean patience"
The Japan Mail submits the sup
position that some difficulty with
France has arisen in connection
with its late treaty with China,
which China, by virtue of pre-
vious compact with Great Britain,
was not in a position to grant,
but, even then, the haste
and mystery manifested seems
uncalled for unless a war with
France is imminent. That the Or
ders for the movement of the Brit
ish squadron were issued directly
from the Foreign Office and did
not originate with the Admiral is
evidence that something out of the
ordinary is about to be sprung on
the Chinese.
All signs undoubtedly point to
at least an attempt at an under
standing between the European
powers, particularly Great Britain
and Russia, as to the disposition of
Chinese territory. In event of
these nations agreeing to disagree
it would appear that they are
merely putting off the inevitable
the submission of China to Euro
pean interests. China, in its pres
snt condition, is at the mercy of
yrasping friends, and its continued
independence largely depends upon
whether the friends can agree on
how much they will allow each
other to grasp.

of the Cabinet assumed quies-
cent attitude and let their
chief executive and his supporters
90 on with their work. Cubans
were in instruction and President
Polk thought it favorable oppor-
tunity to help Spain out of its
troubles by taking the island of
that country's hands. General
Quitman, who had proved a hard
fighter in the Mexican campaign,
volunteered to head a filibustering
expedition and see to it that Cuba
was turned over to the Republic.
Mr.. Polk, however, would not listen
to such a plan, but set to work to
make formal offer for the pur-
chase of the island. This offer was
made through Minister Saunders at
Madrid, the limit OF the purchase
price being placed at a hundred
million dollars. The overture was
repulsed, in a few weeks Wing
President was elected and the an
nexation plans were indefinitely
postponed.
Should, as numerous correspond
ents predict, the annexation of
Cuba become live question dur
ing President Clevelaud's admins
tration he will find a strong pre-
cedent for an aggressive policy in
the history of the closing days of
President Folks term of Office.

ACCORDING to our prediction of
few days ago." as the Bulletin
would put it, a fiIibuster yarn
comes from Boston. Undoubtedly
this contingent will be large one,
as the itinerary must include a
pleasant trip across the continent
with good opportunity to drop off
by the. way and count railroad ties
ia getting back to the fair land of
bean eaters and the home
of John L. Sullivan. Posi-
bly, the next story win De to
the effect that John L. has been in
duced to desert his farm and lead
the Boston division Of the army
that is to occupy Hawaii. All thar
remains 10 make our prediction
complete is for some bright St
Johns newspaper man TO set John
johnson, or some o. the Smiths or
Joneses, to enlisting Nova Scotia
wood choppers, who are Disguised

camps and are DESTROYS Of taking
up their residence ia a warmer
country flowing with milk and
honey.

THE supposition that the mys-
terious movements of British war
ships portended something serious
for China has proved to be well
founded. 1t will be a source Of
qualification to the whole civilized
world that Great Britain has taken
positive action to assure protection
to the missionary workers of the
East. Should this move in the
cause of humanity prove to be a
screen to gain a selfish end it is
certain that China cannot be under
a more irresponsible and unsatis-
factory Government than the pres
ent regime.

Clark Had Been Many Times Fined,

There was an exciting affair in
Rock Island Sunday night. William
Clark, of Galesburg. was delivering
a lecture in the interests of the Amer
lean Protective association. The
meeting was held in the Market
square, Clark using box for ros-
trum. He was very radical in his
denunciations of the Catholic church.
and his remarks caused some dis
order. Clark finally lost his temper
and produced a revolver, at tine same
time declaring his intention to pro-
coed without further interruption.
This caused great excitement and a
riot seemed certain. Clark was
finally arrested on a charge of carry
ing concealed weapons, and was taken
to jail. He was released on bail and
his hearing was set for June S.-Ful-
ton journal.
