what is II That Kills.

Nine diseases are given by the National
Board OF Health as the chief causes oil
death. They are consumption, acute lung
diseases, diphtheria, enteric fever, mala'
rial levers, scarlet fever, measels, whoop'
ing cough and small pox. This list fol-
lows the order 10 which the greatest mum.
Der OF deaths occur, and It must please
nervous people 10 learn that small pox Il
the least cause oil death. For consumption
the highest rate is 1882 per thousand 10
December, and the lowest rate Is $50 In
June. The acute lung diseases, beginning
with January at 232 per thousand, rise
regularly to April, then decline regularly
to August, with 1N deaths per thou
sand: then again 1t rises to Decem.
Der, In which the rate IS $50 per thous.
and. The highest death rate for diph
iberia Is 40 per thousand In November,
the lowest, 0 SO, in June. Malaral fever
Ia highest In September and October, with
0 Us and 0 IS as the death rate, while natu.
rally 1t IL very low from December To
April. Scar lot fever runa unevenly
throughout the year, the highest death
rate being 0 65 In December, and the low
est, 0 SO, In July. WhoopinR cough runs
very unevenly throughout the year, the
highest rate being Q 81 in March and July,
and the lowest, 0 II In December. Small.
pox did not rise over 0 10 per thousand
except In November and December, when
the rates we're 0 II and 0 SO per thousand
From this 1t appears that lung diseases
carried of by far the largest number OIL
pasons last year, and that such diseases
far beyond any others, are the bane Of
American city lie. And We want to add,
by way Of terrifying the assertion We have
heretofore advanced, that II this table
proves any one thing more conclueively
than another, Ii Is that "bad air" is the
hungry monster which Is praying upon
the lives and health OF the American peo'
pie. 1t Is costing a good many lives to
enforce an appreciation Of the Importance
Of pure atmosphere to life and health,
but perhaps people will wake up to an in.
telligent sense OF their misery by and

A young Bible-student was asked !:
How many boys are there in your
class ?"
He replied eff You multiply the
number of Jacobs sons by the number
Of times which the Israelites comprised
Jericho, and add to the product the
number Of measures Of barley which
Boaz gave Ruth, divide this by the num-
Der Of Humans sons, subtract the num-
Der Of each kind of clean beasts that
went into the ark, multiply by the num-
Der of men that went to seek Elijah af-
ter he was taken to heaven; subtract
from this Joseph's age at the time he
stood before Pharaoh, add the number
Of stones in Dayid's bag when he killed
Goliath, subtract the number Of furlongs

The Milling Interest.

Thirty years ago the center of the
four-mining interest Of the country was
in the northern parts Of this State, es-
pecially in Rochester and Oswego. Since
then, however, the railroad system has
been constantly extending westward,
while the wheat belt has been steadily
shifting IN the same direction, SO that
the milling business has been largely
transferred to the West and Northwest,
where about two thirds of the -four man
nfactured in the Union is now produced.
During the last decade the Northwestern
States have doubled the number Of their
-four mills and Hipled their run of stones.
and new milling facilities of the latest
and most approved patterns are con
stantly either taking the place Of the old
ones or adding to their productive ca
pacity. Rur0l New Yorker.
