Africa there are 210,000,000. In America, North and South, there are 110.000.000 relatively thinly scattered and recently settled. In the islands, large and small probably 10.000.000. The extremes of the white and blaok are as five to three; the remaining 700,000,000 interme. diate brown and tawny.

Of the race, 500,000,000 are well clothed; that is, wear garments of some kind to cover their nakedness; 700,000,. 000 are semuclothed, covering in. ferior parts of the body; 250,000,. 000 are practically naked. Of the raoe, 500,000,000 live in houses partly furnished with the appoint, meats of civilization; 800,000,000 in huts or caves with no furnishing; 260.000.000 have nothing that can be called a home, and are barbarous and savage.

The range is from the topmost mound the Anglo-Saxon civilization, which is the highest known down to naked savagery. The portion of the raoe lying below the line of human condition is at tbe very least three-fif tbs of the whole 900.000.000. In the city of St. Louis there has been established a Workingmens Self-Culture club. On Sunday after, noons a debating club meets for the discussion cf practical questions.

On Monday evenings a club of boys from 11 to 16 years of age meets under the guidance of a lady of education and culture. On Thursday evenings a Young Mens Reading club meets, and on Thursday evenings the club meets to listen to a lecture. All the entertainments are free to workingmen and their families. The move is in the right direction, and such clubs could be SCARLET FEVER. As many cases of scarlet fever are reported throughout the city we reprint the following item relative to treatment: The treatment of a oase of soar, latina is of very great importance, says Dr.

T. Wallace Simon, not only as to the carying out of strict rules and laws of medioation and nursing, but in regard to the suppression of all dangers of contagion to others, as it is certainly the most contagious of all the diseases of childhood. The child should be at once put to bed in a room at the top of the house, isolated in every way from all other parts or persons of the household. The other children, if any, should be kept in a distant part of the house, not meeting any one who sees the patient, or else sent away entirely. The room should be well ventilated, and the bed (a narrow, long cot is the best) Bhould be placed out of the direct draft and not between door and window.

There should be heat in the room if it is cold, and if there is a stove or heater there Bhould be kept at all times a pan of water on it to evaporate and make moisture for the room, or a kettle of boiling water may be kept on the stove. The temperature should be kept at about 65 to 70 degrees. The fever will run very high, and a simple sheet or blanket should form the coyering for the patient, who lies on a hair mattress or hard bed, never on a feather bed. Fy the fever the following simple fever mixture may be given, which will suit most all cases in the earlier stages, or at least until a physician be sent for: Quinine sulphate, (15); pottasium chlorate, MWMI WHO IS YOUR CHOICE FOR MAYOR OF TOPEKA?

4- 1893. Tbe legislature predicament seems no nearer solution than on the first day of the session. That tired feeling' seems to be epidemio just now. A number of Republicans held a meeting at the court bouse Wednesday evening for the purpose of unit, ing upon a candidate for mayor. Dr.

Jones received unanimous endorse, ment. A petition requesting George II. Elliott to beoome a candidate for mayor is being circulated among the railway boys. The signatures so far secured number nearly one thousand. It is rumored that K.

Morgan, who has been connected with a paper called the Jlegister at Neo-dosha, this state, is making arrange ments to launoh another railroad paper in Topeka. A railway paper tie has been invented. The inventor says that he can utilize in this way the ordinary paper board, which is made from straw, grass or any cheap and coarse material. The straw boards are cemented together and pressed in moulds, making, he claims, a fire and water proof tie, which is not affected by atmospherio changes, holds the spike firmly, is sufficiently elastic and will outwear five wooden ties. In order to ascertain the laboring mens preference for mayor the Reporter will endeavor to capitulate their sentiment by ballot.

On this page will be found a coupon, which you are requested to cut out, write the name of your choice in the blank space intended therefor and send or bring the ballot to this office.

Jigoku consists of: (1) Eight immense hot hells, ranging one beneath the other, in tiers.

Each of these hells has sixteen additional hells outside its gates, like so many ante-chambers, so there are in all 136 hot hells. (2) There are eight large cold hells, each with its six. teen ante-hells, making the same number of cold that there are of hot hells. Besides these 272 hot and cold hells for the offenders of the common sort, the wily Japs have arranged for twenty mammoth hells of utter darkness, into which will be consigned the lost spirits of ohil. dren who take the name of Dal Butsa, or Great Buddah, in vein.
