INFANT MORTALITY.

One of the saddest histories Of tho summer heat to
be written is that of the mortality among the chdien
especially the poor infants huddcd the tenement
houses OF New York. Upon inquiry at tho Health
0ice yesterday, however, 1t was discovered this
.ality had decreased somewhat the record being IS
against las the day previous Dr. Jaynes said he pre-
sumcd the thunder showers TUESDAY evening and the
sensible cooling OF the atmosphere IN measure
porter also that whenever the thermometer rises to

into account that for over two weeks the Their
mometcr has been above nincty an cxplana-

tanty daily recorded by the HERALp IL Is,
however noticeable ia examining tho death certificates
that per cent OF tue mortality Is in private
houses among tho children OF the better classes the
tenement houses almost entirely filling the deaf roll
niantum or diarrhpa, and any one familiar with
The life OF the poor IN encncns OF this city, only
be surprised that the mortality is not greater Tho
chdrcn's frCc cNcursloEs last year saved hundreds
Of lives, and one of the Health officers in conversation
with the reporter, deplored the fact that there
not more OF them this summer.
Another cause OF disease IN children, which often
ends death Is the eating of dccaycd truit and vegc
tables which are bought cneap In the markets from
the wagons OF licensed vendors In order 10 check
this evil the Board OF Health have organized
