There are over 80 square miles OF street
in London. Each square mile has an ay-
erage of 120 streets, and each street has
an average OF about leo houses There are.
therefore. over 1S00.Oe0 houses in Lon
don.
OF these houses about half are hotels.
apartments chambers, lOdging-houSeS. or
tenement houses. \ quarter are shops
and a similar number are Offices, fats
and private houses.
II is interesting TO discover where these
people sleep. and in order To do 30 ii is
necessary to divide the population of Lon
don into five classes. These are: Base
ment or underground, sleepers; first-fiOOr,
secOnd-fiOOr. third-fiOOr and fOurth-hoOr
sleepers.
The dwelIers in private houses sleep
mostly upon the second. third and fourth
floors. Hardly any-except, perhaps, one
or two Of the buffers in the larger houses
sleep in the basement
Taking the shops and offices. We find
that the first and second floors are almost
invariably given over 10 the business In
some cases nobody lives on the premises
at night, but in others the third and
fourth floors may be let as chambers or
flats or maintained as sleeping apart
ments for the assistants In the smaller
shops the proprietor and his family not
iIfrequently reside in the upper portions
of his business premises. and in very large
warehouses and shops a hOusekeepsr and
his wife may generally be found TO utilize
the basement of the house for their own
habitation.
In the hotel and lOdging-hOuse division
we find that the rooms on all The floors
of the house are in the greater number
of cases used as sleeping apartments with
the utmost impartiality- This does not.

floor; but the figures stand higher in the

of the fourth floor includes all others of

Music Among the Neeroe.,


One Of the chief features Of every negro
gathering of a social character is the sing.
ing, says W. T. Hewetson in The Chau.
tauquan. A musical people they undoubt.
eddy are. Not q few have exhibited a high
degree of talent In this respect-as, for
example, Blind Tom-whose performances
on the piano have delighted SO many cul-
tured audiences. The darby fiddler, once
80 prominent y feature Of social gather
ings, is still sought after in some com
munities. The popularity Of 90 called
Jubilee" singers and negro minstrels
seems to increase with time. Many Of the
most popular songs in this country, such
as "Old Kentucky Home,' 1.-THE Fatal
Wedding and "Listen to the Mooking
Bird, were composed by negroes.
For the origin Of most of their songs we
must 60 back to the days of slavery. Just
as the laboring classes Of England during
the seventeenth century found expression
for their struggles and sufferings in the
popular ballads OF the time, SO the Ameri-
can slave gave vent to his Affections and
heartaches in song. He sang Of his griefs
and they were many-of hardships and
oppression, Of loss of home, OF separation
from friends and relatives. In these songs
n Cal, notfail to perceive a certain plain
tive melody that seems to breathe forth
centuries Of patient suffering. But the
songs of the negro were not all dictated
by the tragic muse. Even in slavery there
were bright, sun kissed openings in the
clouds Of sorrow that darkened his life,
and there is no better evidence Of the nat
