——— ——— Wholesome Study in Statistios. The subject of the rapid iscriase of population in our country has of late received considerable attention in many quarters, both legislative and otherwise. Statistics have been pre- pared to show that the additions an- nually made to our population, boib by netural increase and by the flood of immigration, are in keeping and harmony with our needs while, on the other hand, the fear has been ex- pressed that after a time the difficulty will be to find room for all who come to our shores—that our territory, large ss it ie, will become as crowded as 15 that of many of the nations of the old world.

Many Indisns—Crocr, Beavers and Chippe- wyans—at almost all poing where there are missions of trading poss, would certainly have starved to death but for the help given by the traders and misionuries at those places, Scores of families, having lost their heads by starvation, are now perfectly helpless and must starve to death or eat one another unless help comes. The people are greatly agitated over the unexpected fute of the poor pe ple and heart-rending sw ories of sufferings and eanuibalisn continue to come in.
