More Men Than Women.

The total population OF the world
Is now estimated at loo. 100000. This
is based upon the most recent CEN
suses, which all civilized countries
now take. with n careful estimate OF
the number OF inhabitants OF uncivil-
ized lands.
The proportion o. the sexes Is
known for 1.O3s. 100000 of these. the
ratio being 1000 males to 800 fe.
males. The ratio varies considerably
in different places. In Europe there
are 1000 men to 1927 women: in Az
lea, 1000 men to 1.045 women: in
America 1000 men to 964 women. in
Asia 1000 men to 96l women; In
Australia, 1000 men to 937 women.
The highest Importation Of women
is found In Uganda. where there are
.467 to every 1000 men. The low
est proportion is In Alaska and the
Malay States. where there are. In the
former. 391, and In the latter 3S9

of the American Society OF Naval en-
ginccrs:
"a very fashionable wedding once
took place in Washington. Only the
intimate friends of either family were
invited. and all seemed to be bent on
having the best time of their lives.
There was, however. one exception.
A young man did not seem to be en-.
joying himself bit.
Instead of mingling with the gath.
ering. the sadlooking young gentle
man wandered around the house, in.
specting the wedding presents and
displaying great interest in the de-
corations.
FINALLY the happy bridegroom no
ticed the fellow. and. wishing to say
something pleasant and having i'm.
bibed enough to be able to do so, ask
ed him why he did not mingle and
have some fun.
"'Have you kissed the bride yct?'
he asked.
"'Well. said the sad one, not lato-
ly.'" -..
