Population of Cuba.

We are in receipt of an interesting
government report of the Cuban
census which was completed last Oct.
This showed the total population of
the island to be 1,572,797. The latest
census taken under Spanish author
ity was in 1887, and showed a popu-
Iation of 1857 $751; The report has
following observation on the differ
ence between the two censuses show
what the war cost Cuba in loss of
population by the reconcentrado
sYstem:--
: "Whether that census was correct
may be matter of discussion, but
if correct, the number of inhabitants
was certainly not overestimated.
comparing the total population
at these two censuses, it is seen that
the loss in the IL years amounted to
$3.50, or 3 6 per cent of the popula-
ton in 1887. This loss is attributable
to the recent civil war and the recon
centration policy accompanying it,
but the figures express only a part of
the loss from this cause. Judging
from the earlier history of the island
and the excess of births over death,
as shown by the registration records
however imperfect they may be, the
population probably increased from
1887 up to the beginning of the war
and at the latter epoch reached
total of little less than 1 100000. 1t
is probable, therefore, that the direct
and indirect losses by the war and
the Recommendation policy, including
decrease of births and of immigra-
ton and an increase of deaths and of
emigration reached total of approx
mately 100000"

How Would You Have Said 1t.

There is much in the way thing is
said. Your cheeks are like roses,
said Aunt Flora when Lois came in
from a January walk, glowing from
the cold and exercise. Lois smiled
and looked lovingly at Aunt Flora.
Aunt Margaret entered the room a
minute later and glancing at Lois as
she stood by the fire said: my! Your
face is as red as beet!"
The red grew deeper on Lois face,
while unconsciously she turned petu-
lantly away from Aunt Margaret, who
prides herself on being ''plain spoken"
Aunt Flora's way is best. She can
say the right word at the right time,
too, even the word Of admonition and
reproof, but she says it in such man
ner that one can think only Of the
Scriptural ''apples Of gold in pictures
Of silver"-Ada G. Sweet in Woman's
