A Years Vital Statistics in London.

London, with a population Of g.
100000 still grows rapidly. Tho
number Of births last year were l12, =
535 against 1892 deaths. The es-
timated increase of population be-
twaon the middle Of 1871 and 1872
is 4S,7l9; 50 thatthc natural increase
was supplemented By about 10000
representing the excess VI lmmigra-
lion over emlgraton. TAs birth
rate varies remarkably IN diIerent
sections of the population, depend
ing much upon ages, proportion oI
the sexes, conjugal condition, and
social positions. The death,rate Ill
London is 1871 was 2L7 per 1000
being II. above that for all England
exclusive of the deaths from small
pox the London death-rate would
have been only 22.j. As it was, the
rate Of mortality was higher than in
any year since 1866, when cholera
was epidemic. Tho male death-rate
of London in 1871 was 26G, while
while among the females it was 22.8
at the recent census there were113..
0 females living in London to each
100 males. In 1871 there were 2.
594 deaths from violent causes in
London, 2,13S of them from negli
gence or accident, including 900 from
fractures and contusions, among
which are 20S deaths caused by
horses and vehicles in the streets
Among the deaths by Negligence ol
accident are 400 from sull'ocation
nearly all cases of infants. There
were 109 ca.es Of murder or man
slaughter, nearly all of them cases
Of mlanGcide.

Canes in Chickens.

Put one tablespoon of wheat into
u vial, and pour on spirits of tupea-
tine to cover the wheat, and Keep
the vial we'll corked. Whenever you
find symptoms Of gapesin a chicken,
open its mouth and compel it to
swallow one or two grains OF the sa-
turated wheat. Repeat the opera
ton morning and evening 50 long
as needed, and, if commenced III
time, il will cure nine cases out OF
ten. The above has been u success
in my hands and that of my neigh
bors. We have seen it stated that
fowls affected with & ,es could be
cured by forcing down the windpipt
a little sweet oil through Il Gn L
glass syringe. The oil kills the
worms, and relieves the bird Al
once.

The ship Blue Jacket was burned
on the 9th of March, 1869, III about
G3 degrees south latitude and 60 de-
grees west longitude. between the
Falkland Islands aud Cape Horn,
on her voyage from New Zealand to
England. The figure head of the
Blue jacket was lately picked up at
the little island OF Rottnest, near to
Fremantle, Western Australia, a dis
tance of over G,000 miles from the
point of disaster. The time occupied
in travorsing the distance WAS about
two years and u bali, making q
mean rate of six miles and a half a
day. This incident throws some
light on tho direction and speed ol
the ocean currents between South
America and the Western coast Of
Australia.

The Worlds Work.

Our external lives are not made
up Of groat occasions, and our great
ness is not in superhumau and eX-
haustiye effort, but in gradual growth
aud this is nourished by little friend
Iy acts and sacrifices which call into
exercise every family of soul and
sense; and the lives which most de-
sire to be called sublime are those OF
which the world and history take lit
tie account. Tn. lives of men and
women around us are, for the most
part, commonplace, and we could
not afford to have it otherwise. II
all Of them were reaching after oc-
casions of rendering themselves sub
lime, how would the worlds work be
done? The worlds work IS tiresome,
perplexing, unconGonial, and some
times, and for some people OF noces-
sity, it is very disagreeAble and me-
nial service; yet in the spirit in which
this work may be conceived and car
ricd forward to the end, there is a
sublime purpose and conservation,
be the end ever so humble.
