INDIA'S WEALTH. It is Large In Aggregate, but Indi viduals Are Very Poor. London Times: At a met" ting of the Royal Statistical society Dr. Ginsburg read a paper by F. A. Atkinson, Eiv'nK "a statistical review of the income r.nd wealth of Rritlsh India." After refer ring to a remark made by Lord Curzon it. a speech on the Indian uuiiget for 1301-2, to the effect that there had been an increase in the mean income of the inhabitants of India between 1880 an (J. 1898 of no less than 11 per cent, and to a statement made V. TMgby, who criticised Lord Curzon's figures aad argued that there had been a dimi nution of average income of no less than 30 per cpnt between the years 1SS0 and l'JOO, Mr. Atkinson discussed the Question with the view of finding out the true facta. He said that this ( ould not be done with any great ex actitude because there were no statistics of cultivation in some parts of India before 1892-3, and there were difficulties in regard to the estimated yields. ! He divided the population for the purposesof his survey Into three classes agricultural, non-agricultural, and those of sufficient or ample means. Having examined the position of the various sections included in the first class, Mr. Atkinson came to the conclu sion that the agricultural income of British India Increased from 26.4 rupees per head in 1875 to 35.9 rupees per head in 1895, this being an increase of 39.8 per cent. A similar inquiry, the re sults of which were set forth in great detail, convinced him that the non-agricultural Income went up from 28.8 rupees per head in 1875 to 31.1 rupees In 1895, or an Increase of 18.4 per cent As these two classes of persons com prised 97.6 per cent of the entire popula tion, itm ight be taken that the aver age anual income of this great mass of people rose from 27.3 rupees in 1875 to 35.2 rupees in 1893, an increase ot 28.9 per cent. In examining the incomes of the third section Mr. Atkinson gave reasons for doubting the trustworthiness of the income tax returns, which he was un able to aw;ppt as a full disclosure of tho position of the people, and he made his calculations on a more extended basis. In the result he put the income of this claxs ns a whole at 74 crores of rupees in 1875 and at 1131-3 crores In 1895. Summarizing the three sections, he arrived at the conclusion that during the 20 years tinder review the average income rose 29.5 per cent that is to say, from 30.5 rupees per head to 39.5 rupees per head. Alluding to the wealth of British India, he discunsed the monetary situa tion and the amount of hoards and or naments which the people had put by, and gave an interesting historical sur vey for the purpose of forming an es timate of the stock of precious metals which tho various conquerors had left in the country after successive raids and of the amount which from time to time had been Imported and allowed to remain in the hands of the people. He reckoned that tho amounts of the to tals of the two stores wpre, in currency, in 187 0,146 crores of rupees, rising 223 crores in 1900; and under the sec ond head (hoards and ornamental crores in 1875, increasing to 8M: erores in 1895. In one of tho numerous ta bles supplementary to the paper there was set out a balance sheet of India which seemed to show that the actual capital wealth, as distinguished from Income, per head of the p"Pu'at-'on- ,n creased from 703.8 rupees in 1875 to 986.6 rupees in 1895. or no less than 40.2 per cent. In conclusion, he gave fig ures to show the great rise in capital Investments of recent years. CHAFFING ON 'CHANGE. Itough Treatment of a Stranger Who Gets Upon the Floor. New York Times: If a stranger ap pears on the floor of the exchance he is sure to he detected by some sharp-eyed member, even though thousands of clerks and other persons pass through the doors every day. The signal given upon a stranger's approach is the mys terious fry. "1,400." Why 1.400 no one ran tell, although the stock exchange historian believes that in one year the membership numbered 1.399, and new comers during that time were regard ed ,ih "the next man." "Fourteen hundred" invariably brings a swarm of chaffing members around the stranger. He is greeted with Hurh cries as, 'Where did you get that bat?" "Poor dear, he looks fright ened!" and "Let him alono. can't you? He's a stranger." Then some one pushes the luckless stranger 'one way; another member, ap parently taking his side, pushes him back nguln: a third member takes n hand in this game; and presently the newcomer In busier than a ping-pong brill at a tournament. lie Is shunted forward and bark, the crowd around him growing larger, and the volley of comments and cries and encouragement more deafening. Naturally, the average man, not being a muslin or sawdust doll,' resents this treatment. His anger rises as Iho mob shows less and less consideration. He may strike at his tormentors, as some have done, and thereby" Inspire trouble of a serious sort; he may keep his head and his temrernd come through with nothing worse than rumpled hair and a dam aged hat, or he may even challenge some of tho Jokers to a duel, as has actually hffn done In several Instances. nut tho members are Just as merci less in their treatment ot each other. Th man with a fad, or a grievance, or a marked characteristic of any kind is sure to have the fact brought home to him a dozen times a day, In ways more pointed than polite. JudKe Samuel W.

Ko. 2, Picture hat of white dotted mousseline, with lace scarf at the back e.nd pink roses. PARIS FASHION NOTES. Paris letter: Among the distrac tions to which the gay world is lending itself these pleasant days, both at the town and country house, is a revival of the once popular garden party. These occasions call for special gowns and the consequence is that all tho designers are busy now with chic and elegant ideas for these demi-toil-ettes. Favored materials for these garden party gowns are mousselines, pongees, veilings, crepe de chines, foulards, fig ured gauzes and silk batistes. The correct garden party gown must be only a trifle less elaborate than the evening costume, with a transparent, in place of a low-cut, neck. The shaped flounce, though by no means a novelty, is a conspicuous fea ture of some of the latest of these sum mer dresses. The shaped flounce gives a graceful flare to the skirt, which can be accomplished by no other cut. The plaited or shirred idea is so modified in some of these garments that the ef fect is secured without the clumsiness of actual fulness. To explain more concisely, the plaits are made sepa rately and sewn on after the skirt is cut with the gores to fit the hips per fectly. These plaits graduate in width from one inch at the waist line to near ly three times that width at the hem, where they end ia points a little above the bottom. Some of the other skirt models have a hip yoke of shirring, lace or bands being joined by an open stitch from which the plaits hang. A pretty ef fect is obtained by trimming the skirt around in a oeep yoke form with rows of lace insertion, set in with tiny bands of silk, with the plaits arranged over, giving the appearance of their being run underneath. Simplicity is the keynote of some of tho very newest Rue de la Palx crea tions. A very graceful and pretty af ternoon gown presents a unique fea ture jn the deep flounce encircling the bottom of the skirt. The plain part, of pastel silk crepon, ends at the knees in shallow points which are finished with fancy silk covered rings. Be tween these rings, placed their width apart, are narrow ribbons of crepon, which have the effect of being continu ous pieces of the skirt, and fall to the floor oyer an acccrdcon plaited under WHITE PERSIAN (nil. i The skirt of this dainty model la trimmed with two ruffled of dotted 3wl.. lac heading.

The bIcovm .-.re plain to the elbow where they lire finished with a ruffle and a full ttaderaleeve of tacked lawn. flounce or rose chiffon. This is gath ered upon a foundation of rose chiffon taffeta. Along the line of the upper edge of the flounce are four rows of silk-covered rings, through which the straight ribbons are run, and about the edge of the flounce is a narrow band of rose crepe. The corsage is quite plain, being made in the usual blouse effect, with sleeves which display a fashionable fulness between elbow and' wrist. A crushed belt, fastening at the back un der loops and ends, displays a pretty in crustation of lace. The hat worn with this frock is a very pale blue straw, with garniture of flowers and dainty drapery of white mousseline veiling, the tint of the straw giving it an almost white ef fect. A charming effect in these summer gowns which I have illustrated, is in white grenadine gauze over yellow silk. The skirt is made of bias tucks at the top, close-fitting. The lower part is finished with a deep flare trimmed with a cluster of three tucks and dia mond ornaments of filet lace inserted. The front of the skirt is trimmed with three diamonds of lace. The corsage is made of tucked grenadine, trimmed with filet lace. It is made over yellow silk. The yoke is cream colored net embroidered in pearls. The upper sleeve is of grenadine and the lower sleeve is full, made of lace and drawn with a close-fitting cuff. One of the handsomest new models, forming th 3 subject of one of my sketches is a dress of lavender French figured organdie made over lavender silk. The skirt is in two plaits. The lower skirt falls in full folds like a ruffle and is edged with Bruges lace, with black lace ornaments. The up per skirt meets the lower one and is trimmed in the same manner. The corsage is full, with a deep pointed yoke of lace. No collar i3 worn. The sleeves are of organdie, trimmed on theshoul'Iers with deep lavender panne satin. A hat of pink roses and laven der ribbon is worn with this dress. A very sweet frock illustrated is of white Persian lawn. The skirt is trim med with two ruffles of dotted Swiss, with lace beading. The corsage is full, with suffle of Suisse and bow in front. The yoke is of finely tucked lawn.

A pretty hat, illustrated, of white dotted rcoiiKE-cline is trimmed with lace scarf at the back and pink roses. An outing hat illustrated is of yellow straw faced with lace and trimmed wltht grapes and plaid ribbon with ends. One of the latest of the new hats is of green leaves extending well forward. The hat has a fiat back effect with: green ribbon ends. The sides trimming is of choux of white chiffon. An old rose gown of etamine seen on a society beauty on a recent afternoon had a perfectly plain (skirt and tight ftlting.. corsage,, with ...oddly shaped basques, curving from the front In large postillion effect, The corners of these unique skirt pieces were ornamental, with fancy shaded embroideries, a piece of tha some appearing around the low cut neck and on the cuffs. The effect of a very wide, graduated box-pleat was se cured by an arrangement of tucks down the front of the corsage, which had for its sole trimming a double row of flat gilt buttons. A scrap of a dainty lin gerie vest barely showed above the cut out neck, contrasting prettily with, tne dull shade of old rose. The hat accompanying this frock was made of rough straw in old rose, trim med with soft ribbon and flowers, while a white parasol, with tiny rose tinted wreaths scattered over its triangular sections, added bits of harmonious col orings to the whole. The trousseau of a. June bride, which I saw the other day, previous to its shipment to America, contained some very dainty designs. The going-away gown was of palest, creamiest, mastic cloth, of very light weight and very smooth, supple finish. It is of Spartan simplicity no lace or braiding being used for trimming, hut the effect depending upon its superb cut and round, dull gold buttons. CHURCH SEBVICE NOVELTIES. Eecent Innovations in England and in Georgia and Indiana. London Tit-Bits: Visitors to Folk stone may perhaps have attended one of the most curious church services held anywhere in England. On a certain night in each year, at the beginning of the fishing season, the choir and con gregation of the parish church leave the sacred building and march down to the harbor. There a service is held called "Blessing the Sea." Thanks are given for the success of the past year's fish ing, and prayers are offered for the coming season. The ceremony is a most impressive one, being held late In the evening, and usually in the presence of large crowds. Of late years enterprising clergymen have initiated many new and interest ing devices for rendering services at tractive. Dr. Ker Gray, vicar of St. George's chapel, Albemarle street, an nounced last year a special late service for the benefit of those ladies and gen tlemen who cared to attend church af ter dinner in the evening, and gave notice that he saw no reason why his congregation should not attend in everf ing dress. The doctor thinks that it wiil take at least three seasons for this innovation to become familiar, but al ready a fair amount of success haa crowned his enterprise. In strong contrast is the Sunday 60r vice initiated by Lord Rupert Cecil, rec tor of Hatfield. He invites all strang ers passing through to attend service, assuring them that "no doubts as to the fituess of their attire need deter them." Dusty cyclists are just as wel come as smart, frock-coated and top hattod residents. Music is always a great attraction, and a good organist and choir will do almost as much to fill a church as wilt good preaching. Recognizing this fact, one of the clergymen in Atlanta, Ga., who presides over the Trinity Metho dist church in that city, procured some hundreds of canaries and hung them in cages from the walls and roof. The golden-throated songsters kept up a perfect flood of melody, intensely de lighting the children for whose benefit the service was held. The great heat of summer often ren ders crowded churches unbearably close and stuffy. The pastor of the First Christian church of Columbus, Ind., has devised a means whereby his con gregation can enjoy a cool and restful service. On the fiat roof of his church he has constructed a roof garden, with, a covering to keep off showers but with, sides open to admit the air. The sup ports are wreathed with climbing plants, and the whole experiment has proved extremely successful. "THROWING THE DART." Survival of an Ancient Custom in the Harbor of Cork. London Westminster Gazette: : Does the ancient ceremony of "throwing the dart" survive anywhere In the United kingdom but in Cork, where it was carried out this week? Every third year the mayor lie is how lord mayor of Cork proceeds in state to the mouth of Cork harbor, and there throws Into tho sea a dart with a gilded head and a shaft of mahogany, saying as he does bo, according to immemorial ctibtom:: "I cast this javelin into the sea, and declare that so far seaward as It falls extends the right und dominion of the corporation of Cork to and over the harbor, an well ns tho rivers, creeks, end bays within the same." The ceremony is a somewhat pictur esque survival of the times when the mayors of Cork as in other cities were admirals of the port, and thus in dicated their authority. It is. of course, now no more than an exctiRe for a trip down the harbor and, a banquet on board the steamer.
