How to get the excess of shirts upon
shirtless backs is sort of Typical prob
lem in political economy. In this en-
tire country there are more males than
females, but the latter, like all other
gifts of heaven, are distributed very
unequally. Their number, to 100, 600
males, is 6,4l9 against 81, 801 in 1870.
In seventeen States they outnumber the
males, the District of Columbia-where
they are thickest, standing as 2l2& to
100-counting as State. Society,
office-seeking, lobbying, and, perhaps
some other underlined thing, draws them
to the Capital, where they are relatively
more numerous than in 1870. Eight OF
these seventeen are among the once
slave States. Next to the District,
Rhode Island stands at the head IN
respect to excess of femininity, slightly
leading even Massachusetts,, and In each
the excess of females has increased dur
ing the decade. Connecticut, North
Carolina, New Hampshire, South Caro-
lima, New York, Virginia and Alabama
stand next, and these ten make the
group where the females are as 1929 to
116 or more per 100 males. In eight
States females are 80 to "a, and one of
these is Utah, where there has been q
considerable decrease of females In six,
all of them far Western, females are 80
to 80 per cent. of males in five. two of
them Territories, they are 80 to 70 per
cent. in Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming,
Arizona and Montana they are less than
half the number of males. In every
Atlantic coast State, except Delaware,
the skirt outnumbers the pantaloons by
actual count; in every State it does so
in material fact and influence. OF the
Gulf States Alabama and Louisiana only
show an excess of females. OF course,
the frontier States, to which the move
ment of population is most active, show
the largest excess of males, and this Is
especially true where mining and grazing
are the principal occupations; two-tbirds
of the population being males in Mon
tana, Arizona, Idaho and Wyoming.
New Mexico, still Territory, has a
prominent class of Mexican settlers, and
Utah is an exception. Nineteen States
and Territories where males were In ex-
cess in 1870 have increased their proper
ton of females, and sixteen where males
were in excess show larger excess of
males now ten where females were in
excess show an increased proportion of
females, ard eight where they were in
excess show q decreased excess now.
New England and the Middle Atlantic
States increase the proportion of females
by migration of the males, and an influx
of females drawn by the factories, but
foreign immigration in part coupteracts
this. In the Gulf and South Atlantic
States, where outside influences have
been least at work, nature has been evil

equilibrium between the sexes disturbed

States and the Territories the equilibrium
has made progress, though still not
reached.-N. Y. Times.

There are eight degrees of steps, says
Maimonides, in the duty of charity.
The first and lowest degree is to give,
but with reluctance or regret. This is
the gift of the hand but not of the heart.
The second is to give cheerfully, but
not proportionately to the distress of the
sufferer.
The third is to give cheerfully and pro-
portionately, but not until we are solic-
tied.
The fourth is to give proportionately,
cheerfully, and even unsolicited but to
put it in the poor mans hand, thereby
exciting in him the painful emotion of
shame.
The fifth is to give charity in suoh a
way that the distressed may receive the
bounty and know their benefactor with
out their being known to him. Such
was the conduct of some of our ances-
tors who used to convey their charitable
gifts into poor peoples dwellings, taking
care that their own persons and names
should remain unknown.
The seventh is still more meritorious,
namely, to bestow charity in such way
that the benefactor may not know the
relieved objects, nor they the name of
their benefactor as was done by our
charitable forefathers during the exist
ence of the temple. For there was in
that holy building place called the
Chamber of Silence or Inostentation,
wherein the good deposited secretly
whatever their generous hearts sug-
gested, and from which the most respec-
table poor families were maintained with
equal secrecy.
Lastly, the eighth and the most meri-
torious of all is to anticipate charity, by
preventing poverty namely, to assist
the reduced brother either by consid-
cradle gift or loan of money, or by
teaching him trade, or by putting him
in the way of business, so that he may
earn an honest livelihood, and not be
forced to the dreadful alternative of hold
ing up his hand for charity.-After the

Waking n Sleeper.

A certain good brother, Obadiah
Turner, of Lynn, Mass, once kept a
journal, in which, under date 1916,
June we 3d." he thus describes the
method" adopted by jealous special
officer in the church ministered unto by
Rev. Samuel Whiting: "Allen Bridges
hath been chosen to wake we sleepers in
meeting, and, being much proud of his
place, must need have fox tale fixed
to we end of long staff, wherewith he
may brush the faces of them vt will
have maps in time of DISCOURSE; likewise
a sharp thorne wherewith he may
prickle such rs may be most sounde.
On the last Lord his day, as he strutted
about we Westinghouse, he did spy
Mr.. Thomas sleeping with much com
fort, his head being steadied by being in
we corner, and his hand grasping We rail.
And so spying, Allen did quickly thrust
his staff behind David Ballopd and gave
him q grievous prick upon we hand,
whereupon Mn. Thomas did spring up
much above we floor, and with terrible
force strike bis head against We wall, and
also to We great wonder of all, prophan-
lie crying out in loud voice, he dream
ing, as it seemed, vt woodchuck had
bit his hand. But on coming to know
where he was, and We CRATE scandal he
had committed, he seemed much
abashed, but did not speak. And I
think he will not soon again go to sleep
in meeting. Ye women may sometime
sleepe and none know it, by reason of
their enormous bonnets. Mr.. Whiting

~Oh, husband, what one boarder eats

The husband was too wise
TO argue 'gainst a womans pan;
Beside, ne knew she'd have her way
AS usual; 80 he said, You may"
But, being wise, he sought friend
Famed for AN appetite. "Come spend
A week with me. he said, and show
Ny wife what boardeIs are, you know"
The tab,e a sight TO see;
The wife, so happy, poured the tea:
The bogus boarder loosed his vest
Prepared to do his level best
He quickly got to work, and spread
A pound Of butter on his bread;
Put AL the sugar I'm his cup.
And hoaped his plate, like mountains, up.
The wife In horror looked aghast
To see her profits 60 so fast,
And almost tainted on the floor
Each time the boarder called for more.
"Oh, Mr.. JONES' she squrmed, "will you
Excuse me- but-are you not-through?"

A NOCTURNAL RAMBLE AND
WHAT CAME OF 1T.

Some genius-we suspect him to belong
to the jovial order of humanity-has said
THE day to drone and dream, the night to
learn and rambe." We do not propose to
dispute this worthys view of the matter, but
present herewith the experience of a Phila-
delphia journalist Mr.. William III. Cunning
ham, 1912, North Twentieth street, one of
whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers to,
beginning his narration rather peculiarly,
however: Il am not rheumatic, and have
been troubled very little with bodily pains.
Last Tuesday morning l experienced very
annoying stiffness of the neck, which grew
worse as the day wore on. Toward evening
it became very severe, and could scarcely
turn my head in any direction. Arriving
home at tea time, it was with difficulty that
l could eat my meal. My wife wanted to
rub my neck with st. Jacobs Oil, but re-
fused, saying thought the afflicton would
soon pass away. Tea over, against the
remonstances of my family, left home to
ramble toward the new Chestnut Street Opem
House, about two and half miles from my
residence. / started in the midst of heavy
snow storm, and remained at the theater
until the close of the performance, although
could feel my neck getting worse and be-
coming very painful. Leaving the play the
trouble came to reach home. The storm
continued; the car in which 1 was became
blocked in nearly every square, a cold cur
rent of air swept through the car, and did
not reach home until toward a. m, by
which time my neck had become absolutely
rigid. Then l consented TO the use of St
Jacobs Oil, which my wife applied two or
three times before l arose. l continued its
use that day, and by evening was free from
pain, and the next morning amused myself
by twisting my neck in any direction that
suited me, and not vestige of stiffness re-
manned. "-Boston Herald.

UnWashed Italy.

The table linen is all homespun, and
good of its kind, but rather coarse. AS
in the matter of chemises, it is thought
we'll to have an immense quantity. /
remember being struck on one occasion
with the fact that the table-cloth was
marked in four numbers. 1t was at the
wedding of the eldest daughter, and a
cupboard full of linen the mother had
with her "corredo" had been opened
for the first time.
These boards of linen make it possible
to go on without a wash-up for a very
long time. Washing is a yearly cere-
mony. 1t takes place in the spring.
when procession of carts convey the
contents of various cupboards down to
the river, if there is one in the vicinity !;
if there is not, to the nearest mill
stream. This system of washing but
once a year no doubt saves time and
trouble but it has its disadvantages,
especially when extended to the men,
bers of the family themselves. In cold
weather much washing of the person is
considered to be dangerous to health,
and my barbarity in subjecting q young
BABY to daily bath during the winter,
excited almost as much virtuous indigna-
tiol as my culpable neglect of the
"fascia," so necessary to keep. the leg
straight On receiving neighbor into
the house for week, L thought it in
cumbent on me, although it was the
dead of winter, to provide him with all
conveniences for washing, but these at
tentions were lost upon him; and my
establishment when the housemaid
thought fit to inform me, in her dramatic
way, that neither soap, water nor towel
had been touched, was, perhaps, no
greater than his own at findin e these
useless things provided. "The signora
says to me-" begins Marietta, shave
you put soap into the room of that
gentleman?' "Sissignora. ga bath?"

1t is not only In the matter Of washing
that italian winter habits differ from
ours. Fires are considered unwholesome,
but air is excluded as much Us possible !;

on several gowns one atop of another,
and sit with their hands in muffs and
their feet on "scaldino." Although
no lady ever goes out without making an
elaborate toilet, indoors dressing gown,
often in the most dilapidated condition,
is all that is considered necessary. To
wear the same gown indoors as out of
doors is a thing not thought of, and i'm
mediately on returning to the house
after a walk the dressing gown is re-
sumed. In the outdoor costume great
efforts are made to keep up with the
fashion-books, and engravings which re-
late thereto are much studied, but seldom
