The large figures at the top of the columns show the rate per week, while the smaller figures indicate the amount per hour or per day. Thus if it is desired to find the amount per hour when working for $8.00 per week, we commence with the figure 1, in the left hand column under the head of "hours," and trace towards the right till we reach the column headed by $8.00, where we find 13% cents, the equivalent of one hour's labor at $8.00 per week. In like manner we find the price of several hours, one day, or several days. To find wages at $13, $14, $15, $16, or more, per week, find the amount at $6.50, $7, $7.50, $8, etc., and multiply by 2. .55 .70 1.00 1.10 1.20 1.16% 1.28% 1.40 1.33% 1.46% 1.60 1.50 11.65 1.80 1.33% 1.50 2.66% 8.00 14.00 4.50 5.33% 6.00 6.66% 7.50 1.66% 1.83% 2.00 9.00 3.33% 3.66% 4.00 5.00 5.50 6.00 6.66% 7.33% 8.00 8.33% 9.16% 10.00 10.00 11.00 12.00 Principal Countries of the World; Population, Area, Religion, and Government. 80,056 40,278 86,786 69.944 11,594 23.955 93.107 9.118 Total Territories.. By the settlement of the difficulties between Russia and Turkey, at the Berlin Congress in 1878, Roumania, Servia and Montenegro became entirely independent, the two last receiving an increase of territory; Bulgaria, previously a province of Turkey, became semi-independent, under the protection of Russia; Cyprus was ceded by Turkey to England; the occupation of Bosnia was entrusted to Austria; Roumania obtained the Dobrudja, taken from Turkey, in exchange for Bessarabia; and a small strip of territory in Turkish Armenia, including the important seaport of Batoum, on the Black Sea, and Bessarabia, taken from Roumania for that purpose, were ceded by Turkey to Russia; all of which materially diminishes the area and population of Turkey. The settlement leaves Turkey with a population of about 22,000,000, and an area of about 700,000 square miles.

The amount of deaths per annum is 33,333,333, or 91,954 per day, 3.730 per hour, 60 per minute, or 1 per second. This loss is compensated by an equal or greater number of births. The average duration of life throughout the globe is thirty-three years. One-fourth of its population dies before the seventh year, and one-half before the seventeenth. Out of 10,000 persons only one reaches his hundredth year, only one in 500 his eightieth; and only one in 100 his sixtieth.
