** the Sunday due

Swift humorously described how one
was appropriately made out of large
wooden bedstead, and in early Geor-
gian times pews were to be found fur
nished with sofas and tables and pro
vided with fireplaces.
Bishop Eden states that in one case a
livery servant entered the pew of his
master between prayers and sermon
with sherry and light refreshments.
Thickly curtained or highly partition
ed box pews were SO numerous in some
churches at one time that the poor were
practically excluded or thrust back into
comfortless sittings in the coolest and
darkest parts of the church, where they
could hear little of the service.-Lon-

THE RUSSIAN PopUL4FIoE.

The final results of the first and only Russian census, taken eight years ago, have just been published, and furnish some interesting and instructive facts. It appears that the Great, Little and White Russians form 66 per cent. of the total population of the empire. Of thess only 90 per cent. of the males are able to read or write, and g per cent. of the females. It should be noted that any one who can make a signature is count ed as "literate.' Of Russians proper who have received a middle-class or higher education, there are less than 1 1-2 per cent. among males and less than 1 per cent among females. That is to say, about twelve persons in every 1000 are what is known in Russia. as fully Iiterate,' a term full of sugges- tions as to the meaning of ''literate'' in the census returns. The figures on this point are given only for Russians proper, but probably hold good for the population at large, as the more highly cultivated races of the outer Russian empire are about balanced by the dog en or more tribes which are practically savages, Finland, it should be remark ed, is not included in these returns. The census reckons 69 per cent. of the total population as belonging to the ortho- dox faith, but it is an open secret that nearly twenty millions of dissenters, who, hitherto, have not dared to &C., knowledge their forms of belief, are counted to the credit of the Greek Church. Allowingf for this, 55 per cent. may be said to belong to the State Church, while Il per cent. are Moham- nedans, Ii per cent. dissenters. 9 per cent. Roman Catholics, f per cent. Jews. and per cent. Protestants. A curious feature of the census is the analysis of the "privileged'' classes, or subjects, of the Czar, who have certain rights. Of these the hereditary nobles make up 1 per cent, the personal or service no. bles (chinovnikD 1-2 per cent, clerics 1-2 per cent, and the merchant classes another half per cent, or altogether 25 per 1000. There are thus three .nobles' in Russia to every merchant"

DfY0Rok IN JAPAN.

The Japanese are as smart as we are in some ways, and perhaps in some ways they are as good. But they do believe in and practice divorce. The causes for which man may divorce his wife in Japan number twenty-eight. The causes for which a Japanese wom- an may secure a divorce from her hus- band number only three-cruelty, fail- ure to provide or infidelity. It is un- necessary to recapitulate the twenty eight causes given to the Lord of the Household. The Japanese Lord and Master may divorce his wife for talk ing too much and that that cause must be frequently used the fact that in 1904 there were 2s9,7SS marriages and 61,2s9 divorces indicates.
 Woman seems to be at great disad- vantage in divorce in Japan. And yet we read that the Japanese women make the best of wives. ,..

The Western Electrician says it would be instructive to know what les sons Mayor Dunne expects to learn from the visit of the chief of the Glasgow tramway system. It says it can hardly be the gospel of double decked cars. for the people of Chicago would not have these cumberson ve- hicles. The two story cars would lend themselves but poorly to the quick. sharp operation which the business of Chicago demands The crowding Of the rush hours, with the difficulty of collecting fares and stops at every street intersection, the low headway of some os the elevated railroad crossings in Chicago and the climate of the city are other reasons forbidding the use of the Glasgow type of car. Nor can it be the zone system of fares as used in Glasgow which should be an ex- ample to Chicago. The five cent fare tends to quicker operation and is a great incentive to the workingmen to live in healthful suburbs. This. socio- logical aspect of the fare question is an important one and not to be disre- garded in consideration of the subject at large. 4:-:.

The Modest Competency.

A modest competency-that was all he
 craved at twenty-foug; e When he had gained 1t he would cease
 to fret or fight for any more. Three thousand yearly-that assured
 without lapse for all his days, And he would bid his cares farewell, to loiter in earth's pleasant ways. At thirty-flve he struggled still. and 5 still his zeal was far ahead; With fifteen thousand yearly he would gladly quit the game, he said. He had no selfish wish to pile up heaps of wealth he'd never need.
 A modest competency--that was all he
 cared to have, indeed.
 When he was forty-eight he wished to
 leave the franzied crowd and rest; i; With fifty thousand yearly he would banish longings from his breast. A modest c0mpeteney--that was still
 the distant prize he sought, With fifty thousand yearly he would
 deem his lot a happy lot, At sixty-fve he struggled on and
 bruised and battered other men; A hundred thousand yearly would have filled him with contentment then. With such modest income fixed for , all the days beyond said he, I'd seek the quiet, peaceful ways nor care who cursed or enyied me-" At eighty, tooth1ess, wrinkled, grim, he struggled in the market place; HIS hands, somehow, had turned to
 claws, which he would lace and interlace. < &g h
 would quit the hateful strife, A modest comDetency-that I have
 been seeking all my life, 3s.
