More Celtic Girle Than Boys.

A curious and interesting fact given by the registrar general in his statistics of 1898 is that in the Celtic portions of the United Kingdom tha proportion of the female births is much higher than it is in the nonCeltic portions. The highest proportions are found in Cumberland, Cornwall and North Wales, while South Wales is only a little way down on the list, and has a proportion considerably above ti»e average for the whole country. The proportion of female births is higher in Ireland and Scotland than in. England. —fCardiff (Wales) Mail. 1
