City Dwellings.

There are 250,000 dwelling houses
in the five boroughs of the City of
New York, a dwelling house being
one or more persons regularly sleep,
and which has accommodations for
their residence. After New York in
size of population comes Chicago, but
not in the number Of dwellings. Chi
cago has 100000 dwellings,; Philadel-
phia, less populous city, has 2i5,000,
nearly as many as New York.
There are $4,000 dwelling houses in
the city of st. Louis, $4,000 in Balti-
more, $4,000 in Boston, $500 in New
Orleans, $4,000 in Detroit, $4,000 in
San Francisco, $4,000 in Washington,
$4,000 in Milwaukee, 10000 in New
ark, $4,000 in Buffalo. $4,000 in Cleve-
land, $4,000 in Louisville 10000 in Gin
cnnati, 10000 in Minneapolis. $4,000
in Pittsburg, and $4,000 in New
Haven.
The city of London has 10000
houses, which is more than double the
number in New York, though the pop
ulation of London is less than double
that of this city. Paris has 1000
houses, less than half this number in
New York, though Paris has p0pula-
tion of 100000, while the population
of New York is 100000 greater.
London has, on an average, seven res
idents to each house; Paris has twen-
ty-five and New York has between
ten and eleven. New York is more
thickly populated than London and
less thlclily populated than Paris, if
the number of residents Of house be
accepted as the measure of the den
sity of population. Among American
cities, Philadelphia is the most sparse
ly populated and Boston the most
thickly settled.-New York Sun.

his previous name this did not matter

But when a judge took the title of his

then Lord Craigellachie and Mrs,
Macgregor, a combination of names

6piES OF RUSSIA.
A Subtle Syotem That Has Ramlfca
tons in Every Big City.

A Subtle Syotem That Has Ramlf'ca-
tons in Every Big City.
Russia Is prominently the land
of spies, says vance Thompson in
Success Magaziaa Democratic and
socialistic France has raised the spy
system to a state function, but in
Russia it is the very soul of the state.
In Moscow, in the streets, agents of
the police are stationed every five
hundred yards; in addition, secret
agents watch the houses day and
night-one being allotted to every
four houses; and in every house is an.
other spy, the porter. Go where you
will you are never out of the watchful
eye of the police. You brush against
spies in your hotel, as in the theatres;
in a restaurant, as in the drawing
room of friend.
1t is ridiculously easy to recognize
those you meet in the fashionable re-
sorts They have evidently been in
structed to disguise themselves as
gentlemen, and for one of them the
livery of gentleman is a frock coat,
n silk hat, and, always-by rain or
sunlight-an umbrella The famous
third police! A stranger might fancy
that, in an open cab-talking French
or English to his friend-he would at
least be safe from surveillance; but
his friend will touch him signally and
speak of the weather. The fat cab
by on the box, somnolent. with white
hair and good paternal eyes, may be a
spy, more skilled in the languages
than the travelling stranger; and, If
! the cabman has been found lettering
near the great clubs, the hotels or
the embassies. the chances are strong
| that he is. A subtler police than
! that Of the third section-the atrana,
which has it rami1caton in every
| capital in Europe and America-com-
! pletes this great system of espionage.
Its mesh Is over every man in Russia;
no one goes unwatched-save only
old Count Tolstoy.

BEATING of Dead Hearts.

Hearts of cold-blooded animals will
beat for a comparatively long time
after death or removal from the body
Qf kept cold and moist) because of
powerful internal collections of nerves
known as ganglia, whose automatic
impulses cause the regular contrac-
tions of the muscles. Similar ganglia
exist in man and other warm-blooded
animals, but their action is less pro-
longed Scientists have ascertained
that a turtles heart will beat after
removal if put in a piece of glass
kept cool and moist and covered with
a bell-jar, believe it has been known
to beat thirty.six or even forty-eight
hours; twelve or fourteen hours is a
common record.-St. Nicholas.

The making Of souykraut of late
years has become a great industry
in places in the United States, a
single factory having an output of
IS 900 barrels in two months and a
half. In fact, it is claimed, that
even in Germany, there is no one
spot where there is as much kraut
made, as in a small Ohio town. At
Clyde, o., the product of about
1900 acres of cabbages is annually
utilized, each acre yielding about
ten tons. These cabbages usually
bring So to 81 ton. The farmers
of the vicinity often receive $780,
900 for this crop.

spite of the installation Of improved
machinery and labor saving devices,
the cost of production has increased
out of all proportion to the Increase
in wages. or course in these cases
as in all others, the consumer ulti-
mately pays the bill either in in
creased prices or inferior gools.
The charge is very serious one
which the union will of course deny
as strenuously as they can and
which the manufacturers will do
their best to aubstantiate. But it is a
foolish and short sighted practice
which it is to be hoped will never
gain a real foothold in this country.

ed an organization in the govern.

that the clerks should combine to

There is a great deal of talk in
Department circles over the treaty
between Great Britain and 1apan
which has Just oeen officially pub
lished. The treaty is regarded
favorably on the whole in diplo-
matte circles. 1t is classed as a
very strong guarantee tor peace III
the far east because no power would
be likely to attack either Japan or
Great Britain, knowing that each
nation was pledged to come to the
others assistance. 1t is spoken Of
as a great victory also for the open
door policy as assuring the main
tainance Of the status quo in the far
east. This, however, may be taken
with as large an allowance as suits
the taker. Everyone knows that
Japan has nothing to fear from the
open door, being geographically
and naturally the most and in fact
only favored nation in that regard.
1t is quite likely that Great Britain,
whose trade in China is already On
the decline, may find in her ally a
more powerful rival in the com.
mercial orient than either Germany
or the United States.
