While there is general impression that
the native Indians are slowly dying out, 1t
appears by census statistics that including
the half breeds they are about as numer-
GUS as they were half century ago, when
Schoolcraft reported the number of 1888 :
22o BY the special Indian census as 1890
there were shown to be 32s 464. of whom,
however, only I8o 447 are returned as full
blood. These Indians are divided into
nearly 90 tribes. which are recognized by
the United States, and they are to be
found In 90 States and two Territories.
There is great diminutlon In the amount
of land the Indians occupy now as com
pared with so or 100 years ago. The
Indians never raised large families, and
their increase in population was kept
down by war among themselves, and by
sickness, which often ragged with terrible
effect. as they did not know how to resist
it. The Indians who are adopting white
mems ways are now in position TO increase
faster than any portion of the Indian race
has ever before done There is consider
able Indian blood in many white families
who have never suspected such an admix-
ture.

Few people are aware that the dow
ager empress of Russia saved her hus-
bands life on two occasions. One day,
when in the emperors dressing-room,
she observed that on his dressing table
lay curious-looking little jewel case.
Something about its appearance
aroused her curiosity, and, taking it up,
she noted that it was extremely heavy.
Without saying word, she went into
her room and placed it carefully in n
basin of water. Sending for the project
OF police, whose duties kept him much
about the palace, she begged him to cN
anime the box, and it was discovered
to be one OF the most marvellous infer
nal machines ever invented. The sec
ond occasion on which the empress was
directly instrumental in ayerting the
murder OF her husband. occurred in the
Winter palace. where she heard slight
noise, which indicated the presence of
some stranger in the cars study.
Without betraying the slightest anN-
icty she asked her husband to come and
speak to one of the children. lie did
so, and then she promptly locked the
door, and only gave up the key to a
party of soldiers. who found, when they
had entered the room, that some one
had just escaped from the window
