E Fo. those who like arrays Of figures
there Is much interest in the religious
statistics prepared by DR.. H. K. Car

statistics OF the 1890 census and who
has since then annually prepared
tables showing the growth OF the va
rtous denominations DR.. Carroll was

IS, GeO. S3'. out of Il population that
must. if population growth has been
the same during 1901 as during the
decade from 1890, be about 100000.
This is for actual membership. and
bers Of congregations. Thus the
figures for nearly all the Protestant
denominations are much smaller
than the number of those really
associated with those bodies. The
tlgurcs are those of church MEM
hership, not of those in the parishes
and congregations. The Catholic COL
umn, however includes all born of
Catholic parents. The total increase
according to DIR. Carroll. was 130,0a7
Las; wear. or 2.67 Der cent. This Is an
increase slightly greater than the an
nnal increase of population from 1880
to 1900. The latter rate of increase was

correct. the churches of the United
States are growing slightly faster in
membership than is the population.

great engineering skill In the face Of
difficult problems. and has several
times since been enlarged and I'M

Reflections OF a Bachelor.

Time is bonfire, because it Is
money.
Either girls prink before they pray
or they pray after they prink.
1t is easier to be afraid to say you
are afraid Of a woman than it is not to
be afraid of her.
a man can be devoted to woman
without loving her; he cannot love her
without being devoted to her.
The first time you quarrel with a wo-
man you are mad with yourself for do
ing 1t; afterward you are mad with her
for doing it.-New York Press.
