REAL POPULATION OF CHINA.

Recent Census Shows 1t to Be About
426,447 900.
Some doubt has been thrown by re-
cent travellers upon the correctness
of the accepted notion that China is
a land of teeming population, says the
Philadelphia Record. It has been as
serted that the human hives along the
seaboard and the great rivers of
China ought not to be taken as a
basis for estimates, that in those parts
Of the empire which lie off the main
routes of traffic (the natural and ar
tificial water: courses) the population
Of China is comparatively thin.
A. census recently taken by the
Pekin government for the purpose of
assessing taxes. to meet the indemnity
payments seems, however, to prove
the accuracy of the Oldest estimates.
The census shows that, the eighteen
provinces of = China proper contain
$407 ,737 ,305s Inhabitants; :. that Man
churia has 100000 and Mongolia,
Tibet and Chinese Turkestansa little
over u, 0O0,000. The total population
of the empire is 426, Al, 1926, according
to this enumeration. The absolute
reliability Of Asiatic statistics Is ques-
toned; nevertheless, the agreement
Of the results Of the census with the
accepted d estimates is SO close as to
invite confidence. The statement that

doors are also of hardwood. In that
fine climate no lath or plaster is ever
used. In this country the laths should
be of iron and if molding is wanted
around the doors it could be of cement

wood.

Republic, and the largest city in the

ed States is now abundant, some
builders have used it partially in
buildings in the capital and such are
not quite fireproof, but it is a bad
practice. In Britain, as roofs must

Kings of the Diamond.

With the reported prince1y salaries
to be drawn by some Of the baseball
players, whose services are in demand
by both the National and American
leagues, the older fans are reminded
of the deals Of years gone by when
King Kelly, John Clarkson, and other

that the baseball world was astounded

the former club for "The Kings" re-
lease.
This deal, gigantic as it was for one
player; was beaten two years later,
when Bob Carruthers was sold by
Chris Won der Abe OF the st. Louis
Browns to the Brooklyn club, also
of the American Association, for the
magnificent sum of $14,250. This rec
ord for the sale of players is still
unique in baseball lore. Carruthers
was then attached to Comiskey's twirl-
ing staff, and had been the mainstay
Of the Browns for the three seasons
when they won the pennant in the
association. Then the Brooklyn club

The Fruit Basket.

The Fruit Basket.
This game may be played either
with chairs or benches, if chairs are
not convenient. Arrange an even
number, say fourteen, chairs in two
parallel lines, seven in a line. Four
teen girls are seated in these chairs,
and the fifteenth odd one stands be-
tween the rows, carrying a covered
basket. She walks up and down
swinging it. She stops suddenly be-
fore the first girl and says:
1--WE been in the garden this morn
ing, gathering currants" AS she says
the name of the fruit, the first girl
must cry:
"Currants, currants, currants!" be-
fore the odd girl says it again. and
this is repeated down the lines, chang
ing the name of the fruit each time
At the first failure, every one jumps
up and changes her seat, and in the
confusion, the odd girl must try to
get seat, there being one, of course,
always left to take her place, and so
it goes on.
