where the Roman. ExceIIed.

The Romans were not in want Of
teachers or of models, for they had
the Egyptians aud the Greeks. but
they never succeeded in creating an
art characteristic of themselves. No
people perhaps ever betrayed less
originality in their productions in this
field, but they raised the other ele-
ments of civilization to the highest
point Their military organization as
sured them the domination of the
world; their political and judicial insti-
tutions are still patterns for us, and
their literature inspired the centuries
that followed them.

a Hard Nut to Crack

St. Louis is the only large city
in the United States which is not
part of county. The municipal
ity is self-governing; the county Of
St. Louis has no jurisdiction over
the city. William ]. Courtney, a
clerk in the Office of the clerk of the
federal courts, recently attained his
majority, and owing TO the peculiar
location of the house in which he
lives he has been puzzled over the
question of whether he should reg
lister to vote in the city or in St.
Louis county. From the latest maps
Mr.. Courtney finds that the ilnag-
mary line dividing the city from
the county passes diagonally
through the house in which he
lives. The house is on the north
side of Ganbleton avenue, and.
therefore, if the information be cor
rect, lies half in the half and half
in the county. Mr.. Courtney says
that under the best advice he can
get on the question, man should
vote in the precinct in which he
sleeps. He therefore decides to
to sleep in the St. Louis side of the
house and vote in the city.

NEGRO STATISTICS.

In his interesting work Of pre-
pairing bulletin on the negro pop
ulation of the United States,
Walter F. Wilcox, of the census
bureau of the department of COM
merce and labor, gives some facts
and makes some conclusions that
throw much light on the so-called
race problem
In the south negroes are about
one-third of the population, both
in the cities (30.9 per cent? and in
country districts (32.7 per cent?.
Since 1910 the increase in the
negro population of the south has
been less rapid than that OF the
white population. During the past
decade the negro increase in the
country districts was only about
two-thirds that of the whites, and
hve-sixtf1s in the towns.
The center of the negro popula-
ton is in DeKalb county, Alabama.
Between II and 10 per cent have
or are believed to have some degree
of white blood.
The>Tate of negro illiteracy is
given at AS per cent, or seven
times as common as among the
whites.
The death rate of negroes in the
registration area in 1900 was so 2;
that of the whites, rs.
The medium age of negroes is
1914 years; that of the whites, 23.4
years.
The negro population of the
United States, including our in
sular- possessions, is given as 9
2o4, 551, ninetenths of them being
residents of the southern states

which in many large Cities are

McLane requires that they be item

gars, and across it the mayor wrote
these words: The city of Balti-
