ANTI-JEWIsH MEASURES.
No Hebrew Permitted to Remain in
IT. Petersburg.

LONDON. May 13.-The Russian Cow
ernment has decided upon exceptional
measures against the Jews, doubtless
owing to the intense feeling against them
prevailing in many parts of Russia at the
present time. The first anti-Jewish mea-
sure was promulgated yesterday, under
which the stay of any even foreign Jews
is prohibited in st. Petersburg. No eX-
emption will be made even i'm the case of
French Jews. There have been serious
outbreaks against the Jews at Nicolaief,
in connection with the Easter festivities
of the Greel, Church. The Jews there
number 10000, out OF a total population
of 10000. The rioters. who were mostly
laborers. numbered 5000. They wrecked
hundreds of Jewish houses, desecrated
Jewish graves, and killed and injured
large number. About 400 Of the rioters
were arrested, after several furious con-
fiicts with Cossacks several of whom, 1t
is reported were stonef@Qr beaten 10
death with heayily-weghted sings, with
which the rioters attacked the police.

MATHEMATICS AND MATRIMONY

at may not be complimentary 10
the men, but there seems at least
4 semblance Of truth in the state
ment that the greater The quantity
and tie better the quality of edu-
cation among women the less the
chance of marriage" writes Prof.
D. X. McAnalIy, in the March
Ladies Home Journal 1t has
been shown concusively that col
lege women marry less that others.
The explanation of this apparently
anomalous condition may perhaps
be found in the fact that large
percentage of college bred women
educate themselves for the purpose
of becoming teachers Teachers
have not so good an opportunity of
marriage as other women lin fact,
teachers in female seminaries have
hardly more prospect than nuns,
their limited association with the
opposite sex aud the restraint uu
der which they are visited by gem
tlsmen, fully explaining the situ-
alton. 1t is clear however, from
the figures furnished that the rate
of marriage among 'co-education
women is higher than among wo-
momen who attend female semi
naries. 1t is singular to notice
that in the case of educated wo-
men the same geographic difference
between the East and West may be
observed as in the case of the
others. In the North Atlantic di-
vlsiou-that is, in New England
the marriage rate is lowest. 1t
gradually rises toward the West,
attaining its highest figure in
mountain states, fact which indi-
Gates that the educated Eastern
women who goes West to teach has
an excellent prospect of finding a
husband there.
