BIRTHS. .DEATHS AND MARRIAGES
Great Britain's Interesting Returns of
These Events for the Past Tear.
The Registrar -General has just issued
hie 52nd annual report °onoerning the
biribe, deaths and marriages of England
and Wales, and it furniahee, as usual, a
moat interesting volume. He estimates the
population of the country, at the middle of
last year, at something over 29,000,000.
The marriages registered were 213,865,
oorreaponding to a rate of 14 7 persona
married per 1,000 living. This is higher
than in any year since 1884; when it was
15.0. There ie a tendenoytor church mar-
riages to decline, and for those at registry
offices to inorease. Of previously divorced
persons there are 150 who re-entered the
married state -75 of each sex. Taking
the males first, 59 married apinetere,
14 widows,. and 2 divoroed women.
Taking the females, 62 married
bachelors, 11 widows, and 2 divorced
men. There is a steady rise in the ages at
whioh people now marry, the - average for
men being 28.23e_and for women 25.95.^
There ie also favi improv ment 'in their
educational qualifoation, as fewer people
now sign the register with a cross. With
regard to births, the number is given as
885,944 -the lowest rate recorded in any of
the last 50 years, and a further step in the
decline whioh has gone on oontinnouely
eine 1876. Com riled .in the total were
1, 2�!—oitiil ren rn out o w : s look, the
lowest on record. The deaths were 518,353,
or a proportion of 17.9 to 1,000 of the
estimated population. Only 23 deaths
were attributed to, smallpox and 137 to
;typhus fever. As to scarlet fever, there
were 6,698 victims, measles 14.732, whoop-
ing Dough 12,225, diphtheria 5,368, diarrhoea
18,434, and cancer 18,654. Ofdeaths f rom
violence, there were 17,497, amongst this
number being 2,170 suicides, 12 executed
criminals and 172 murdered people.
Prayer in a Queer Place.
That was a very 'pretty incident that
occurred at the Newark Police Headquar-
ters recently :
Peter and Frank are youngsters of 14
and 16 who have lost their parents. They
started on foot for Florida, where they
have an nnole. Worn and weary after a
' long day's tramp, and having no money,
they applied to the police for a plass to
sleep. Captain Corbett, who gave them 'a
couple of Dote, thought it well to keep an
eye on the lads. He notioed that before
they turned in they went down on their
knees. It was a very remarkable proceed-
ing and had probably never 000urred before
in that place. So the next morning he
asked them in a gentle tone what they
knelt for and they replied with timid
modesty, "Oar mother taught ns to pray'!"
That isn't the kind of people the police
generally dome itgt, contact with and they
enjoyed a new andsomewhat startling
sensation. But the npehot of it was that
money enough was raised to pay the
youngsters' way to Florida, and two more
grateful or happier fellows have seldom
been seen.—fires York Herald.

Count of Flanders, brother of King
Iieopld. Prince Baudouin was born in

captain of the Belgian Oarbiniera and a
captain of the ' Prussian oavalry, being
attached to the`• second regiment of Hance
verian Dragoons.
Intense exoitement prevails in Brussela
and throughout the Provinces. Crowds of
people are parading the streets or gathered
in knots at street corners eagerly
diemneeing the situation. On all sidea
the warmest ea reesione of sympathy with
the royal family in this their freak trial
are heard. Prince Bandonin's popularity
and brilliant talents, and the bright hopes
centred by the Belgiane on his future
career, make them feel the Prince'e lova in
the keenest manner. ' The • news
of the Prince' -s death was with-
held from his sister, the Prinoees
Henriette, 'a beautiful girl of about 20 years
of age, who is dangerously sick from
inflammation of the longe.

Prince Baudouin has plunged the whole
country, and especially this city, into

emblems of grief are being displayed every-

at the bedside of hie eider, Prinoese Hen-

upon going for a drive, or, -as_some say, for
a ride on horseback. His foolhardiness
caused him to catch a fresh cold, and on
Wednesday he, was forced to take to bed.

indisposition was not known to the

apprehensions. Towards night the last
sacraments of the Roman Cetholio Church
were administered. The Prinoe was later
attacked by high fever, and was in danger
of lapsing into delirium. King Leopold
and Queen Maria were summoned to the
Prince's bedside. They did their utmost
to console the sufferer, though both King
and Qaeen were overcome with. grief.
Finally the Ministers and chiefs of the
royal household .were sent for. They were
in attendance during all the latter part
f the night. At 10 o'clock the Prince wee
ubjeoted to the operation of napping, but
with no result. Shortly before midnight
