The Growth of New York.

1t ~ estimated that New York
will have a population of 4,O00,-
900 within less than five years.
The statistics show that in addi-
tion to the enormous immigra-
grafton to New York there were
during the last quarter $4,000
deaths and $4,000 births. The
population is being increased by
more than 1000 a week. The ia
bles show an increase in the
number of births among the for
eign born as compared with ma
tive born population. Among IL,
900 births reported for quarter
recently only 5000, or % per cent
were of natiye-born parents and
rs per cent we're children either
of foreigu-born parents or hay

sports, it is at notable crema-
ton. Ordinarily the dead OF 81
am are burned at CHAT, common
to all who can not afford the con-
siderable expense of a private
confagration; and when the
wood of the funeral pyre has been
consumed the body is well roast
ed and the attendant vultures are
given a chance to clean the
bones. Those who can afford it
build the funeral pyre within
their own walls, where festivities
are held during the burning, ana
invitations issued to friends, that
they may come and behold the
honor paid their dead. The bodies
of those intended for private ere
