A Husband for Every Girl.

There are 15,300,300 men who would have to remain single, even though all the women on earth should marry. Europe is the only continent with a numerical predominance of women; but even in Europe there are many countries where men outnumber women. That is the ease in Italy, Greece, Rcumania, Bulgaria, and Servia. The aggregate of the population of these countries gives the men a majority of about 500,000. Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Russian Poland, and Great Britain shows a preponderance of wxmien, at the ratio of 1,060 women to 1,000 men. In Germany there are 1,039 women to every 1,000 men. Nicaragua, the South American republic, and other countries have more women than men. The most peculiar conditions are found in Hawaii. In Hong-Kong there are only 409 women, and in Hawaii 533 women, to every 1,000 men.
