A . ,np'ieation of Relationships.

Justice Thomas McCann, of Lorain, Ohio, within 24 hours joined in holy bands of wedloek Joseph Hartman and his son, Adam to the two Bordee sis ters, Katie and Gertie. An interesting complication of relationships thus arises. Of course, Gertie, who married the father, Joseph Hartman, will be both stepmother and sister-in-laY to the son, Adam Hartman. Hence. if Adam and his wife have children Gertie will be grandmother to her nephews and nieces, but Katie, the sons wife, will be aunt to her father in-law's children, and Adam will hays to be an uncle to his own f-brothers and sisters. The children of the father will be aunts and uncles and cousins lo the children of the son. The wife of the father becomes her own sisters mother=in-law and father and SOD be- come hrothars-in-law.

Bathing in Russia.

A family of father, mother and son have just returned from sojourn of several months in Southern Russia, and are now staying at the Grand hotel. In the old white town" of Baku there is new "black town" now where petroleum is refned-they regis. tered at the Hotel de TEurope, and papa ordered bath. After his ablu- tions he proposed a bath for mamma and another for the boy. aged 10. The proprietor brusquely informed him that his wife, his son and himself were expected to use the same water. In the heart of the Caspian oil region they never thought of filling the tub a sec ond time for a mere family wash. The water had to be carried upstairs in buckets, and he had not sufficient help to accomplish that task.-New York Press.

The Coming onited States Census.


 It is not anticipated that the coming census will show more than q 20 per cent increase in the population of the United States for the decade. Immi- grafton has been small compared with the previous ten years, and the birth rate is declining. The increase from 1870 to 1880 was over 30 per cent. Im- migration during the first half of the next decade was enormous, andtyet the Porter census for 1890 showed an in crease in the ten years of only PAS per cent. H. T. Neweomb, statistician of the agricultural department, estimates for next year population of "A, ,4S0 900. which would be an increase over 1890 of less than 1e per cent.

An ola Australian Born Woman Dea

One of the oldest Australian born mem bers of the fair sex died the other day in Sydney at the age of 92. She was born in Sydney in 1907, and in 1923 was married. at the age of 16, to leading colonist. She has left behind her 12 children. P grandchildren, 146 grandchildren and 10 great great-grandchildren making total of 240 souls. She was the daughter of one of the first twins born in the colony. which makes her one of the second generation, while her descendants go down to the sixth generation Of Aus, tralian-born. The old lady had a good memory, and was able to tell many stories of olden time in Sydney. for when she was born the present streets of Sydney were but tracks, and the suburbs wild bush, while the back country, where now there are great cities and towns and all the develop. ments of civilization, was a terra in. cognita to the white man. The coloay was only nineteen years old when the deceased lady first saw the light.

Yield of Gold in the Transvaai.

The latest published returns show Ing the yield of gold in the Transyaal are said. in London to be eminently satisfactory to those persons financial ly interested in tie Rand. The entire TransVaaI yield in June was 46I271 ounces. or 819 ounces better than in the preceding month. the latter return be- ing the previous best on record. So far this year each monthly return since February has been over =10o GOO ounces better than the corresponding yield in 1898. In fact ap to date, the 1889 yield is some 625,000 ounces above the showing the corresponding period in 1898. Here are the total yields of the Transyaal since 1894, when the records showed 2,024.159 ounces In 1895, 2277. .635 ounces. 1896. 2. .280,S85 ounces; 1897. 3,g34.474 ounces. and 1893. 4.555,- 600 ounces. London inanciers do not deem t possible that this extraerdin- ary showing can be maintained throughout tte year. owing to the dis turbed political situation and particu- larly to the fact that the exodus of labor from the Rand seems to be as- suming serious proportions

MORE BACHELORS THAN MAIDS
Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
 Than Are Single Women.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer: It appears that people generally are greatly mistaken in their notion that there is an enormous surplus of unmar- ried women in this country. The truth is that no such excess Of spinsters ex- ists; in fact, it is quite the other way, the bachelors outnumbering the maid ems. At the present moment there are in the Uuited States 2,200,000 more un- attached males than females similarly situated, tke exact figures being 5,427,- 767 bachelors against 3.224,494 spin sters of ages from 20 years up. Thus it is obvious that if girls do not find husbands it is not for lack of a plenti- ful supply of the article. What is re- quired seemingly, is general migra- tion of spinsters from the north and east to the great and growing west, 1n parts of which there are ten available mates for every maid. From the last remark, however, it must not be infer red that there is actually an excess of unmarried women in the northern and GdSLGIu SidLG6. AAGlI LII luOSS pa1 10 O4 the country there are more bachelors than spinsters 20 years old and upward. notwithstanding the theory to the con- trary so widely accepted. No state in the union has as many maidens as bacheIors-not even Massachusetts, where the figures are 219.2 spinsters. against 226,085 bachelors. Massachu- setts is the banner state for spinsters. the bachelors outnumbe~ing them by only two-tenths of 1 per cent. Next comes Rhode Island, where the excess of bachelors is 2 per cent. The ex- cess of bachelors in the District of Co., 1umbia is 8 per cent, in North Carolina per cent, in New Hampshire 9 per cent, in Connecticut 20 per cent, in Maine 37= per cent and in Vermont 54 per cent. Tn Maryland the bachelor surplus is 19 per cent. in New Jersey it is 9 per cent, in New Yock it is 26 per cent and in Virginia it is = per cent. All of these are low percent, ages so far as the superiority of bache- lors in point of numbers is concerned.
