OBEYING A DESP0T'S WHlMS
Emperor Paul Of Russia Was Violent
and Eccentric to the Verge
Of Insanity.

Endless are the stories which ara
told of Emperor Paul's Q797-1801)i
violence and eccentricities, writes
A. J. G. Hare in Studies in Russia"
One of his fancies was that everyone
he met, wherever he met them, must
get out of their carriages and sledges,
stand in the mud or on the ice and
make him a bow. This was, of course,
considered the greatest bore possible.
One day there was a poor dancing
master who was going to give some
lessons, and he had nothing but a
pair of very thin pumps OF. He was
d~readfully afraid Of encountering the
emperor, for 1t was the depth of
winter, and the ground was covered
with snow and ice; and he thought
If he did his feet would certainly be
%frostbitten. Az he went along he saw
to his horror that the emperor was
coming; there was no way of turn
ing aside; he must meet him. He de-
termined at once that the only way
was to pretend not to see the en-
peror. and to turn the other way.
Paul was not to be outwitted. He
stopped at nce and sent one of his
escort to see why the dancing mas
ter had not oheyed his orders. The
poor man pleaded not having seen the
emperor, and implored not to be
forced to get out, on account of his
thin shoes. The emperor would not
hear Of it. LET him walk round and
round my sledge," he said, land see
If that will amuse him; and since he
is too blind to see me, tell him that
I desire for the future. that he will
always, at all times, wear green
shades over his eyes,"

When tho Arizona bronco wishes To-

safest thing in the world; and when
be wishes to be unsafe, life is a mer-

In Arizona which were almost perpen-

too; but there was little danger, for
the bronco has, not the ten pound"
but tho Thousand pound" look! His
nose is to the ground, his eyes. fast
ened on tho trail, his footstep the
most beautifully careful thing the
mind al conceive. One foot, placed
before another eases. preserves the
balance, adjusts the weight for an
other; and all this wonderful machin-
cry Of eQuipoise, stability and safety
you feel working under you like a deli
cate machine. Yet this sage pioneer
Of the trail, with his mettculous care
Of you and himself, was just a wild
range-pony, hunted down by a range
rider. driven, coaxed or duped into a
corral, broken, saddled, bridled and
ridden all in one hour; wrenched out
of his wildness. having his heart brok-
en-, and made into a slave while you
would eat your breakfast. He is not
a beauty; he is just a mongrel; but
his legs and his feet are made of iron
and steel, and the work he does over
awful trails, in a rough and ragged
country, strewn with stones and 1ints
and boulders and lava and scrub,
week after week, Month after month
and year after year, would spoil the

CLOSE TO HEART Of NATURE
oanItariums In tho Black Forest y
Which Marvellous Cures Have
Been Recorded.

In an article on "The Friendly Sum-
mer Trees" in the Woman's Home
Companion Frank A. Waugh, profess
sor of horticulture in Massachusetts
agricultural college said:
"In Germany one finds all kinds of
cures. Every enterprising town has
one. Often the cure house Is the
finest public building in the city. A
German talks Of going to his cure as
an American of going to his vacation.
There are milk cures and mud cures,
mountain cures and surf cures, but my
choice is the forest cure. Not only
does it best please my personal taste,
but I notice that it gets the more
serious cases-those where radical
and heroic cures are needed. First OF
all there are the tuberculosis patients
strewn about on their cots. under the
pungent shades of the Black forest as
about Or. Trudeau's camp in the Adj
rondacks. Then there are the de.
voices of indigestion and the nervous
wrecks, bilious, alcoholic and society
wrecks, drug f1ends, bridge f1ends and
everybody; that is, everybody who
can spend the money to come hither
for the forest cure. Naturally In Ger
many, as in America, folks who have
to work and support families cannot
afford to be cured. They can't even
afford the disease In the first place.
1T is curious how friendly the for
ests are to sick and discouraged peo'
pie. The trees reach out their arms to
shelter them. In the stiffness Of the
morning and through the long nights
they whisper r~eassuringly to every
one who listens"

and the proportions urban and rural
The present bulletin deals with the
composition and characteristics of the
population. The two bulletins cover
all the principal topics OF the populs-
ton census except occupations and
ownership OF homes.
Description of the Tables - The
greater part of this second bulletin
consists OF FIVE general tables, which
present statistics of color. nativity.
parentage, sex, citizenship, illiteracy.
school attendance, and dwellings and
families, as follows: Table l for the
State and counties; Table II for towns
OF over $4,000 inhabitants; Table III
for towns of 10, 900 TO $4,000; Table ~
for towns of $500 to 10000; and
Table V for wards of cities of $4,000
or more.
A series of summary tables tnum-
bered l to 16) reproduces from the
general tables the more important
State and city totals, and presents also
certain additional data relative to
state of birth, age and marital condi-
ton.
On account of the wide differences
in characteristics among the different
classes of the population, the Stats

ed places of $500 Inhabitants or more.
In New England. however, where
many villages of considerable size are
not separately Incorporated, it was
deemed best to classify also towns Of
$500 or more inhabitants as urban.
although this classification is net very
satisfactory because such towns gen
orally include more or less population
that is essentially rural
The census inquiry as to school at
tendance was merely as to whether
the person enumerated had attended
any kind of school at any time be-
tween September 1. 1909. and the date
of enumeration, April Is, 1910.
Color and Nativlty.-Of the total
population of Connecticut. 395, 649, or
S5.5 per cent, are native whites of
native parentage: 374.4Ss. or 1876 per
cent, are native whites of foreign or
mixed parentage: S2S,759, or 2s.5 per
cent. are foreign-born whites; and
1914, or Ia per cent are negroes.
The corresponding percentages in 1900
were Al, 81, 26.1 and II, respective
ly, the proportion of native whites of
native parentage having decreased
during the decade. In each county of
the State the foreign-born whites con-
from PAS to 31.7 per cent? of the
population, and in each the percent

tics on each subject are shown accord
ing to race, and for the white accord
ing to nativity and parentage. Classi.
fieation according to nativity and par
entage is scarcely necessary for the
other races, since nearly all negroes
and Indians are natiye-born of native
parentage, and nearly all Chinese and
Japanese either foreign born or OF for
eign parentage.
The white population is divided in
to four groups: a. Native, native
parentage-that is, having both par
ents born in the United States; ~
native, foreign parentage-hasing both
parents born abroad; CD native,
mixed parentage-having one parent
native and the other foreign born;
(D foreign born. AS the second and
third classes do not differ greatly in
characteristics, they are combined in
some of the tables; in few cases all
three native white classes are com
bined.
Since marked differences often exist
between urban and rural communities
with respect to the composition and
characteristics OF the population, it is
desirable that the two classes be dis
tinguished in presenting census data.
The Bureau of the Census has under
taken to do this by classifying as
urban the population Of all incorporat-

mixed parentage exceeds that of for
eign- born whites.
OF the urban population, 33.1 per
cent. are native whites of native par
entage; of the rural, 56.4 per cent.
The sponding proportions for
native whites of foreign or mixed par
entage are 349 and 223 per cent, re-
spectively. The percentage of foreign
born whites is 800 in the urban popu-
lation and pol in the rural.
Sex.-In the total population of the
State there are $685. males and $751;
ia females, or 1929 males to 100 fe-
males In 1900 the population was
about equally divided between the
sexes. Among native whites the ra-
ito is 96S, and among foreign-born
whites 1867, to 100. In the urban pop
ulation there are 1017 males to 100
females, and in the rural, 1913.
State of Birth.-Of the native popu-
lation-that is, population born in the
United States-77.3 per cent. were
born in Connecticut and 22.7 per cent.
outside of the State; of the native
white population. 221 per cent were
born outside the State; and Of the ma
tive negro, 507 per cent. Persons
born outside the State constitute APP
proximately the same proportion OF
the native population In urban as In
rural communities.
