born from a single egg have never

saw two bills instead of one trying to
break out OF the shell. He quickly re-
moved the egg to the kitchen, extracted
the twin chicks, wrapped them In cotton
batting, and placed them IN the oven.
For three weeks the chickens were
kept indoors on diet OF matted milk

ella lticatlon Of the population By Its
occupation and social status. But no
other country has entered on an ingestl-
cation of this kind with anything even
approxlmatlng the thoronghness nnd
method that characterized the German
statistical Office, both In the drawing up
Of the census and in its subsequent
Ella boratlon for statistical purposes. To
give only an instance, the census
officials had the strletest instructions
not 10 take the word OF a householder

the members OF his household. but to
make personal inquiry OF every single
member. even including small children.
The whole enormous work OF collecting
This census was done at cost of not
more than fls0.0o0.
According TO this census. the total
population OF Germany on June IA.
1893, amounted to 5l.7T0 2SI, of whom
%. 100, It'll were males and 26,361 123
were females. The similar census
taken In 1882 gave a total OF 45,222, lib.

thus increased by 14.4s per cent In the

interesting 10 note. WIS larger In the
case OF the males. who increased ut the
rate OF 147l per cent as against an
increase OF only l4.26 per cent In the
case OF the females. The decrease OF
German emigration since the growth
OF modern German prosperity may
possibly have had something To do with
this fact. How rapid the increase OF tue
German popula ton Is may be gathered
from the fact that the ordinary quin-
quennlal census, taken in December.

The Duckins stool In England.

1t is interesting TO conjure up pic
ture of a ''ducking" as practiced In
England at the end OF the eighteenth
century.
When the ''scold" had been properly
tried and convicted. she was escorted
by crowd OF her neighbors-in fact,
by the whole village-to the nearest
pond-and the greener and Sinner the
pond the better. \ long plank was
produced, at one end of which was the
''ducklng STOOL" and In this the scream
ing, struggling victim was securely pin
ioned
The chair end of the plank was then
pushed far over the edge of the pond,
and at n signal 1t was tilted deep into
the green oOZe until the scold was COM
pletely immersed.
When the dripping, half drowned
woman was raised to the surface
again, to the jeers and laughter of the
onlookers, 1t can be imagined that he?
tongue wagged to some purpose. After
second dose she emerged more sub
dued and after third or fourth she
was as penitent woman as the vii
lage contained and was allowed to
proceed home a sadder and wiser w0
man-untll the next time. = London

duel with the italian tire-eater, the
Count of Turin, nephew Of the King of
Italy.
1t was no French duel; the partici-
pants were both wounded. The Count
was slightly cut on the right hand, but
the Prince was severely wounded. At
one time 1t was believed that he would
die, but medical skill, strength and
youth pulled him through.
1t was because the young prince had
said that the italians were towards
and fools In their Abyssinian fights
that Turin challenged. He himself
had made three journeys to Abyssinia,
and thought he knew something about
that remote land. Turin declared that
all Prince Henry's reported discoveries
were fakes" After the duel there
was royalist talk Of electing Prince
Henry President.
In 1895 the Princes father had to In
