tion, 8,977,230 are men, 9,245,569 women, showing an excess of 267,087 women over the men. The preponderance of the fair sex occurs chiefly in the Eastern provinces, Silesia alone having 138,817 more women than men, while in the Rhine provinces and Westphalia there are 34,688 men more than women. Disregarding the pedantic distinction of civil and military population, the preponderance of women dwindles down to 66,692. As many as 72 women and 53 men were above 100 years old at the date of the census. The average density is about 156 per English square mile; the variation, however, is considerable,-the density being highest in the manufacturing district of Düsseldorf, where it is nearly four times the average, and smallest in the district of Cöslin, where it amounts but to three-fifths of the average. The number of families amounts to 3,613,856, and therefore rather more than 20 per cent. of the population, giving nearly five persons to a family. The deaf and dumb numbered 14,223, of which 7855 were men, 6368 women; 10,524 were totally blind, 5496 being men, and 5028 women. There is therefore on an average one deaf and dumb person to every 1211, and one blind in 1,731 of the population of Prussia. In the religious statistics we find that 11,113,509 are Protestants, 6,824,745 Catholics, 1196 adherents of the Græco-Russian Church, 13,708 Mennonites, 16,170 members of the Free German Catholic Church, and 253,457 Jews. Disregarding the distinction between Low and High German, there are as many as ten different native languages spoken in Prussia. 15,718,600 Prussians speak German as their native tongue; 1,973,880 Polish (in the provinces of Prussia, Posen, and Silesia); 233,341 speak Massuric (near Gumbinnen and Königsberg); 7652 Kassubic (near Marienwerder, Königsberg, and Cöslin); Lithuanian is spoken by 136,990 persons (in the districts of Gumbinnen and Königsberg, where likewise 414 persons still speak the old Kuric or Kurish language); the Wendish is spoken by 82,232 persons (in the provinces of Prussia and Silesia); Bohemian by 10,317 persons (in Silesia); Moravian by 48,554 persons (in the district of Oppeln). Finally, Walloon is spoken by 10,502 persons, chiefly in the neighborhood of Aix-la-Chapelle.
