The Grave Gaining on the Cradle.
A noteworthy fact in the vital statis~
tics of New York city is the preponder-
ance of deaths over births. “'hile in the
country at- large several hundred thou-
sand more people are born every year
than die. in the metropolis there were
30,088 births last year and 35.696 deaths. .
The case was not an exceptional one, the. '
figures for the previous year being 30.-
527 births and 35,044 deaths. The
moral of all this seems to be that people
who pkfer to be born to dying would_
better live in the country. -

Re Got the Appropriation.
Congressman Payson. of Illinois. tells
a good story about Jim McKenzie. the
very bright and witty Kcntuckian who
formerly represented the Paducnh dis-
trict in the House.
A bill which McKenzie had introduced
for a public building at Paducah had
been favorably reported by the commit-
tee. It was placed on the calendar,
where, in all probability it would re~
main forever unless some extraordinary
effort was made to bri it before the
House. McKenzie tri repeatedly to

Fingers and Forks.
.\Irs. Emily Inlics. in her book on the
, ('llcrsotii-sc. gives the following defence
. ‘of fingers versus forks. made by a native
l
’ repulsivc to its.
rajah. He argued against the use of
forks and spoons as being “such a dirty
practice. \Vc say to ourselves. ‘\\'hat do
I know of the history of this fork? it has
been ill a hundred. perhaps a thousand.
mouths; perhaps l'Vt’lI ill tlicmoufh of
my worst enemy. This thought is very
‘Iillt.’ said I. ‘the fork
is thoroughly cleaned. or ought to be.
every time it is used. first with soap and
water. then with plate-powder. ‘Ought
to be: quite so: but how do you know
that your servant docs not Shirk his
work? If you have a lazy servant you
are liable to eat with a fork that has not
been thomughly cleaned: whereas I
know thatplly fingcrs are clean. for I
\\ ash them myself before eating. They
are quite as clean as the cleanest fork.
and they have two grcaf :idvanmgcs over
it—«me. that they have ni-vcr been in any

that they are never lost. or luifilaid or

She began by letting "Tiny" smell the
bone of a mutton chop. ‘and then tied lb
bone to the string of the bell. At firm

she found that she could induce herto
pull at the bone and'so ring the bell.
After that she tied a small piece of
wood to the string. but the dog would
not pull it. At last she pulled her gen-
tly back until the bell rang. and in tb‘n
way in the short course of three weeks.
with not more than one or two lessons a
day. the dog would go and ring the hell
by being told-“ ‘Tiuyfi go and ring tho

gave an evening party. and during tho
evening they were all electrified by the
sudden and violent ringing of the bell.
