improving and growing so rapidly

complaints this past sumner as to
the character of the water supplied
by the company. In fact we believe
the satisfaction has been universal.
Certainly we have had excellent wa
ter, when great many families hfve
used their hydrants for drinkingpur-
poses rather than their cisterns. In
deed the ouly complaints we have are
those coming up from the suburbs,
where people are pa. ing taxes for a
supply OF water which they do not,
and cannot get by any other means
than material extension of the
mains. We understand with what
reluctance our excellent and conserv-
alive council approach matter cal
culatcd in any way to increase public
outlay. Bnt here is matter
of common fairness as well rs of com
mon business principle. A man
should not be asked, even by NUM-
cipality, TO pay for what he doesn't
get. Those of our citizens living be-
yond the water mains are not exempt
from the water tax, but they do not
get any water, simply because the
contract with the company does not
provide that the mains be extended
TO meet their wants. In all fairness
they ought to have the water. They
can not be exempted from the tax,
but we can extend the mains and
make the thing level in this way.

taken into the count. Beyond the

Women in the Census.
Boston Advertiser.

Boston Advertiser.
The seventh lecture in the Lowell Institute
course. by President Francis A. Walker of the
Institute OF Technology, was given last evening.
His subject was the census statistics concerning
women. He said that no data are obtainahie
by which may be shown the relative numbers OF
the two sexes born: But the census returns
may be relied upon to Indicate the fact approx
imately, as an enumeration is made of the sex
of children less than one year of age, by which
it appears that the ratio is 1896 males
to 100 Sesaales. The ratio for those
between one and FIVE years of age is 1924 to 100.
In the forty-seven States and Territories of the
country, including the District of Columbia,
the enumeration of population under five
years of age made in 282 entries, gives only AZ
entries in which there is female prepouderanee,
and in these cases ii is slight that it does not
affect the general proposition. These excep,
tional instances are in the Territories and the
District of Columbia All the great States have
a slight excess of males. But a comparison of
the population of the intermediate ages I'D to
that OF 60 years shows a preponderance Of
sfemales Of l05 5 to 100 males The lecturer ac.
counted for this by showing that the death rate
among males of the active period of life is much
greater, owing to their greater exposure to hard
ship and to accident in the vacations which they
follow and the use of alcoholic drink. He gave
figures to show the disparity of sections
In this particular, the Eastern and thickly
settled States having large excess of females,
while the frontier Estates and Territories have a
large excess OF males. Women also outnunber
the men in the large cities. being drawn thither
by better wages paid for work in which women
engage. Under the head Of employments the
lecturer showed that Of ID 000, 00e women, 1884,
600 are employed in work for wages. OF this
number 632, 900 are in manufactures, and sos, 600
in agriculture these principally in the cotton,
rice and sugar producing regions: in domestic
service 939, 600 are employed. In ten years the
number of female physicians and surgeons has
increased from 525 TO g ABB; of lawyers, from to
70; Of sections. from to Ia; of teachers, not in.

represented a gentleman and lady of high rank
The gentleman wore a scarlet coat with gold
buttons. His curly wig was powdered snow
white, and in his hand he held fine hat.
The lady was dressed in yellow silk with sill
yer spangles and had neat little hat with
plumes on her head, and a fan in her hand. Both
danced elegantly, and often made agile springs.
Everybody said, The skill of these children is

An old officer who sat at the table took an
apple and threw IL between the gay dancers.
Suddenly the little lord and lady rushed for the
apple quarreled rs if they were mad, tore off
their masks and head gear, and-instead of the
skillful children appeared a pair of filthy apes.

officer said, with much earnestness, Apes and
