tonrthlni of It* Population, Itellglon,
Crop* and Meant*.
There are some big figurcB In a recent
blue book upon Indian affair* that haa
just been published In England, nays
the New York Evening Post. The grand
total of the population, Including ilrlt
Ish India and native states, according
to tho census of 1891, was 287,223,431, as
compared with 233,783,514 at the census
of 1881, the males numbering 146,727,296
and the females numbering 146,486,130.
Taking the distribution of population j
according to religion there was In 1891
207,731,727 Hindoos, 67,321,164 Moham
medans. 9,820,467 aboriginals, 7,131,361

KikhH, 1,416,638 Jains, 88,804 Parsees, 17,
194 Jews nnd 42,763 of other religions.
Of the Christian population, 1,315,263
were certified to be Roman Catholics
ana 295,016 Church of England. The to
tal number of police offenses reported
during 1892 was 136,639, as against 124,650
In 1891 and 115,723 In 1890, the police be
ing composed of 150,616 officers and men.
The opium revenue In 1892-3 was Rx.
7.993,180 and the expenditure Rx. 1,602,
496, giving us the net receipts on opium
Rx. 6,390,884. In the last ten years the
net receipts on opium have been Rx.
f' #*.922,087, while the average annual
number of chests of Bengal opium sold
for export during the last ten years has
Bben 63,894. The actual area on which
crops of various kinds were grown In
India In 1892-3 was 195,897,889 acres, of
which 65,748,812 were devoted to rice,
21,484,889 to wheat and 92,927,655 to other
food grains. Including pulse. The area
devoted to cotton was 8,940,248 acres, to
lute 2,181,234, to oil seeds 18,546,025, to
tobacco 1,149,548, to sugar cane 2,798,637,
to tea 260,463 and to coffee 122,788. The
length of railway lines open to traffic
In 1893 was 18,469 miles, the number of
i passenger* conveyed was 134,700,469, the
goods and minerals carried represented
28,727,386 tons, the gross receipts were

12,679,200. In 1892 21,988 human beings
and 81,668 head of cattle were killed by
snakes and wild beasts, the chief hu
man mortality (19,026) having been due
to snake bite. Tigers claimed 947 hu
man victims, leopards 260, wolves 182,
bears 146 and elephants 72, On the other
hand, whereas only 4,498 cattle were
killed by snake bite, no fewer than 29,
96# were devoured by tigers, 20,012 by

TEMPERING! ALUMINUM.
A Recent Discovery That May Greatly
Increase It* Usefulness.
The aucoeasful tempering of aluminum
ao aa to give It the conalatency of Iron
la the latest triumph of F. Allard, the
Levis blacksmith, whose rediscovery of
the lost Egyptian art of hardening cop
per startled the mechanical world aom*
three or four years ago and only failed
to make the fortune of its author be
cause of the expenslvenesa of the proc
A recent trial of Allard's tempered
A MW method in Quebec and the prac
tical purposes to which It can be ap
plied. He has made and hardened a can
non, which has Just been tested In pres
ence of Col. Spence, the American con
sul, with the greatest success. This
cannon Is twenty-six Inches long and
five Inches In diameter, the metal of the
gun outside the bore being only a quar
ter of an Inch thick. A charge consist
ing of a pound of powder, has been suc
cessfully fired out of this little piece of
ordnance without having any appreci
able effect upon It. A new and more
scientific trial of the cannon has been
ordered by the Canadian military au
thorities, to be held Immediately at the
Quebea citadel by the artillery experts
there, and the Uhlted States consul, In
view of this move, is understood to
, have encouraged Mr. Allard to manu
# facture, aa speedily as possible, a can
non twelve feet In length for shipment
to Washington, but whether this Is to
be at Allard’s risk or by instructions
from the United States government is
not known and can not be learned here.
The great advantage of cannons made
of aluminum, everything else being
equal, lies of course In the lightness of
the metal. The cannon Just tested here
weighs fourteen pounds. If it were of
. Iron and the same dimensions It would
weigh 180 pounds. Allard's friends here,
and military enthusiasts over the pro
> * Jeet, assert that If the tempered aluml
pum supersedes Iron for the making ol

wlnjff dependent upon horses and gun
carriages for dragging their weapon*
over rough country, will be able to
shoulder them like muskets. In ap
pearance the finished specimen looks

Had an Exparlanoa With Laughing
Uh and Will S«»« Forgat It.
••Does It hurt very much to have
a tooth pulledP” inquired a Boston
Herald man of a dentist.
••That depends," was the reply.
"If the Affected tooth happens to be
a molar, with the roots at right an
gles with each other or if it is de
cayed so as to leave the nerve un
covered or if it is worn down even
with the gums, so that it is neces
sary to dig the flesh away in order to
get a good hold with the forceps,
then the chances are that you will
kick a little.”
Then the tall man trembled from
head to foot, and in a shaking voice
said; "What do you think of that
ono?” accompanying his words by
opening his mouth to its fullest ex
tent and indicating with his finger
the seat of his trouble.
The doctor took up a small instru
ment with a little round looking
glass at one end, and, returning it
into the cavern that yawned before
him, made a careful Inspection of the
interior.
"That looks like a stubborn old
fellow,” remarked the doctor, as he
replaced the instrument upon the
working table.
"What would you advisoP” timidly
Inquired the tall man.
"Laughing gas,” replied the
doctor.
“Will I be oblivious to the
palnP”
bo.
The tall man settled himself in the
operating chair, and the doctor in
serted botweon the patient’s teeth an
old champagne cork. Then he placed
a funnel-shaped piece of rubber over
the tall man's mouth and nose, and
told him to breathe heavily. Gradual
ly consciousness gave away under
the influence of the gas, but not
until the man to be operated upon
had sufferod the sensation of being
smothered under an old-fashioned
feather pillow.
The tall man was now in dream
land. He first imagined that he was
on his way to the world’s fair and
when the train was on a down grade
and going sixty miles an hour the
wheels left the track. The air
brakes broke and the cars rushed
’along at a terrible speed. It was
with the greatest difficulty that the
dreamer kept in his berth. Tremen
dous jolting was caused by the
wheels running over the ties. The
suspense was something awful; the
wreck of the train was inevitable.
The car was filled with the shrieks
of the terrified passengers, mingled
with the crash of glass and the rat
tle of th« train. Suddoaly there was
a deafoai&f report and a tremendous
concussion, and the oars appeared to
crumble away.
The tall man found himself in
total darkness, but suddenly, to his
horror, he discovered a streak of
lurid ilame through the wreokage,
which told him that he would be
roasted alive if immediate suocor
did not reach him. He could hear
voices directly over him, but do as
he would not a sound could he utter.
The flames were making rapid pro
gress toward the place where he was
confined, and their hot breath was
beginning to singe his whiskers.
Then came the crash of an axe direct
ly over his head. The first blow
struck him squarely in the back of
the neck, and he felt that his time
had surely come. The next one cut
off his loft ear, and the third opened
up a space in his cranium the size of
a sauoor. The fire had now crept up
to his feet, and the left one was
slowly roasting, when another blow
from the axe, greater than all the
rest, knocked his head clean from his
body. He experienced a singular
buzzing in his ear; there Was a gleam
of light in the distance and with a
bound he returned to consciousness.
The doctor was standing over him,
holding a double tooth in his for
ceps.
n«a ou uiu sba^ur, unu no
mistake. How he did hang! It took
all my strength to dislodge him,”
and the doctor wiped his dripping
forehead with his handkerchief.
••Whore a-a-am IP" were the first
words of the tall man.
“Why, right hero in my office,"
responded the doctor. “You would
have had a tough time if you hadn’t
taken the gas.”
“Well, if it had been rougher than
it actually was I would now be a
corpse,” and the tall man paid the
$1.50, and went out into the street
feeling as if he had been walking in
a treadmill for a week.

Luther'ii flan of Education*
In 1528 Luther and Melanchtboi
drew up a scheme of popular educa

The first class learned to read, write
and sing; the second class studied
Latin, grammar, music and scrip
turee; the third, arithmetic. Latii
and rhetoric.
W«rt>n Considers mn Ivory Betting: Pref
erable to Gold and Silver.
Tho study of precious stones has
suggested to the wife of an export
and sometime collector an idea of
reformation in the setting of dia
monds. Whether it is practicable
is a question for jewelers. 'The pro
posal is that ivory should take tho
place of gold or silver. All wearers
of diamonds are aware how trouble
some is the procoss of washing and
drying silver-set diamonds so as to
avoid tho slightest tarnish, and a
gold setting has tho disadvantage of
causing so much reflection of its own
color as to render the whiteness of a
fine diamond ditticult to guage. Hut
oven more important would be the
gain of beauty, says the Pall Mall
Gazette. The brilliance of gold and
silver mar their charm as a setting
for transparent and sparkling stones,
though it makes them a good setting
for opaque stones and for pearls.
Ivory would give the gentle effect
that is now sought by setting dia
monds together with merely semi
precious stones—a combination de
plorable to the expert. Ivory would
have even more than the quieting
effect of cat’s-eye or chrysopraso,
and its thick warm whiteness by the
lucid and darting diamond would
make an effect of great refinement.
Perhaps a difficulty would be found
in its comparative fragility.
Of semi-precious stones none is
more lovely than the opal, with its
fiery rose and alteration of green and
blue that Bhame the peacock, while
by a change of pasture all these
starry ardors can be lost in a milky
way of whiteness, as suits one’s mood.
Opal runs, much like a vein of mar
ble, through a mixture of brown
ironstone. When the vein is seen to
be thick enough to yield good pieces
the iroustone is split and tho opal
cut out But a singularly beautiful
art is practiced by a German carver,
who leaves the matrix as a back
ground and outs the opal lying at
tached to it, following the suggestions
of color and form after the well
known manner of a cameo. A cameo,
however, is opaque and mere brown
and white, whereas the opal is
translucent and full of color. A
dying aurora with a burning sun
rising over the sea, a mermaid with
the rosy fire in her cheek and the
peacock tints in her tail, birds stand
ing by a pool in violet twilight, are
among the artist’s happiest carvings
to be seen at a mineralogist’s in
Regent street.
It is pleasant thus to follow an
opal to its home in nature. To do
this with some of the things of com
eto# use is sometimes to get a new
Mm Mea. UsAs pawhenll as
you may—and It can hardly be
loathed too heartily—it must loose
half its vulgarity after you find that
it is not only a bad smell in the
Burlington arcade, but the simple,
unmixed and innocent breath of a
shrub whose leaf you may pinch in
an Italian garden. Patchouli green
and alive, out of doors, must nec
essarily make you more tolerant of
patchouli, betraying itself in “white
rose” inside a shop.
A Mats Actor.
Upon one occasion, an actor, who
rarely knew his part, deliberately
posed through an entire act of “Julius
Ciesar,” says the Amusement Globe,
and left the responsibility of the
scene upon the shoulders of his col
leagues. They managed to pull
through without him by incorporat
ing his lines into their own parts,
and when the curtain dropped, they
wont in a body to the culprit’s dress
ing room. He was calmly reading a
newspaper when the door was burst
open. “Well sir,” said the irate
star, “what do you mean by placing
us in such a predicament ?” “What
are you talking about?” said the
actor. “What am 1 talking about?
That scend sir.” “What was the
matter with it?” . “Why. you never
once opened your mouth; didn’t speak
a single line, sir.” “Didn’t, eh!
Well, by Jove! do you know it struck
me the scene hung fire. ”
“I’m in a terrible dilemma,” said
Mickles to a friend at the office.
“What’s the matter?”
“My wife and I had been talking1
economy this morning and she asked
me how much I paid for the cigars I
smoke. I ha 1 to pretend to be in a
frightful hurry to keep from talking
about it.”
••Why didn't you answer her?”
"I was afraid to. If I told her
the truth she’d scold about the ex
travagance, and if I named a fictitious
price she might buy me some. ”

A gentleman who was rusticating
in the northern part of New Hamp
shire took a tramp among the hills
one day. In passing a hillside
farm ho saw an aged granger
hoeing a very stony potato field
near his house, and the gentleman
stopped to converse with him, says
the Boston Journal.
"Your potatoes seem to be doing
well,” he started in.
"Oh, I reckon I’ll hev a few perta

he stopped hoeing the rocks off the
vines and glanced at the stranger
curiously from under the wide rim of
his weather-beaten straw hat
••Other crops good?"
••Oh. the crops is tolor’ble, as
usual, I s’pose,” replied the farmer,
indifferently, as he came up to the
rail fence, dragging his hoe after
him. ‘But I’ll tell yer jest how it
is, squire,” he continued confidential
ly. “I’m the most unfortunate ole
critter in Coos county.”
“Farming don’t pay very well up
here, I suppose?”
“Pay! Nothin’ pays me, squire,

A Groom’s Predicament.
A bride tells of a difficult moment
of her recent wedding trip. A few
days of it were spent with an uncle
of hers, very deaf and very pious.
When they sat down to dinner on the
night of their arrival, with a consid
erable company ot relatives assem
bled to do them honor, the uncle ex
ploded a bombshell by asking the
groom to say grace. Much embar
rassed, as he was unaccustomed to
officiating in this way, he leaned for
ward, murmuring a request to be ex
cused. Wnereupon the uncle, watch
ing him, only waited until his lips
stopped moving to utter a sonorous
"Amen!” in response. It is hardly
necessary to add that not only did
the blessing for that meal go unsaid,
but also that the effort of everybody,
except the uncle, to keep from
laughing quite took away the appe
tites for the first course.

isn’t comforting. It is plain as day,
Jennie Martin, that you' have the
bluea I didn’t know what I would
do if there was a man around—
scratch his eyes out, I guess. Yes, I
know I should, for there was Mr a
Smith's husband who came home at
2 o'clock this morning." I was awak
ter hearing him whistling out
under the lamp post and trying hie
various keys on the front door. I
am certain he started on the watch
key and went right through the list
When I said to Mrs. Smith, “Your
husband was a little late last night,
wasn’t he, Mrs. Smith?” she just
laughed and said, “O, Tom is grand
panjandrum of the Ancient Azteckian
Order of Spoopemjays and his duties
keep him out late on Saturdays. But
he is always so good natured that I
never • can scold.” I’d like to
see a man pull the wool over my eyes
that way. Deacon Jones called to
see me again yesterday. It is plain
that the deacon is far gone on me.
But I declare, though I wouldn’t Bay
it. I’d rather have somebody who
had a little more pepper in his make
up than the deacon has, even if he
did stay out until 2 o’clock Saturday
night and hold the office of holy bo
jum or some such awfulness. When
I was calling on Mr a Smith the other
night what did that Tom Smith do
but put his arm right around my
waist—and Mrs. Smith right there,
too, and a-laughing. I just screamed.
And Tom says, kind of sauoy like,
“Deacon Jones has got something
rich, rare and racy growing up for
him, hasn’t he JennieP” I declare,
but the slap I gave him tingles my
hand yet Tom is a dreadful tease.

xn* lioq Sermon.
Among the many quaint customs
which are gradually disappearing in
England is the so-called “Lion Ser
mon,” which, after having been an
nually preached in the church of St
Catharine, in the city of London, for
nearly three centuries, has just been
abolished. It owes its origin to an
adventure wnich befell a medieval
lord mayor of London, Sir Richard
Guyer. According to the legend,
being attacked by a lion while he
was traveling with a caravan in
Arabia, he fell upon his knees and
vowed to devote his life to charity if
spared from the lion’s jaws. The
animal is stated to have thereupon
turned tail; and in pursuance of the
vow thus made the “Lion Sermon”
has been regularly preached ever
since. The fund bequeathed by Sir
Richard for the purpose will in
future be devoted to other chanita
