DEATH RATE OF STATES.

Texas, as can be seen by the above table,
| IS blessed with d lower death rate than any
of the states or territories bounding her.
Thirty-Une cities in the United States give
an average death rate Of IDS per 1000, the
highest being Charleston with 800 Der 1909
and the lowest being Cambridge with li.+G
per 1000. BY this can be seen that Austin is
still lower than the lowest, and should be
awarded the blue ribbon of the southwest as
a health resort. superior to any on this coli
tinent.
WHAT AUSTIN'S CLIMATE WILL DO FOR
LUNG TROUBLES.
As an evidence what this climate will do
for people suffering with hung troubles, we
give the following actual experiences of
men who are now living speaking evidence:
Mr.. j. L. Sparks, marble cutter by trade,
residing in st. Louis, No, had suffered Sc
vcTely from hemOnhageS of the lungs run
ming him down in weight from l54 to llG
pounds. ON advise of his physician, that to

change of climate to Southwest Texas might
prOlOng his life for many years, he located
in Austin in 1879, remained 20 months, i'm
proved rapidly; in fact thought he had re-
gained his health, when he returned to ST.
Louis remaining 20 months, during which
time his troubles gradually returned, and in
1881 he was obliged to return to Austin, tax
ing his family and camping for good. Up TO
the present time he has continued in good
health, without the aid of medicine. work
ing continuously at his trade, and expresses
himself rs feeling better than he has for ~
years.
DR.. +. II. Bragg, = resident of Iowa, had
suffered from severe cough all his life, and
during three years previous to his locating
in Austin had run down in flesh from $50 to
l3i pounds. His family record was bad. a
father and five sisters having died with CON
sumption, and the Doctor knew that grim
death was hanging around in close quarters
SO in 1882 he started in search of a desirable
climate, and, after trying several points,
struck on Austin and from the start began
gaining In flesh. lie expresses himself as
feeling better than he ever did in the north
en climate, and that he IS able to do a full
day work every day in the year, and be-
hcyeS he is good for score of years yet
4 hundred people can be found in Austin
from northern and eastern cities who have
located to secure the benefits of the climate
and all of them are enthusiastic evidences

Some Great Facts Cleaned by an Observing
Consul to Germany.
WASHINGTON, SeDs 2z-Consui Tanner, of
Chemnitz, reports to the Secretary Of State that
the beer production of Germany, in 1885, was l..
100. O00. 600 gallons-''enough to form a lake
more than one mile square and six and one-half
feet deep. or it would make a running stream as
larke as some of our rivers" He says the con-
sumption Of intoxicants in Germany, per head,
is four times as great in the United States,
yet there are thousand hopeless drunkards in
the United States to ten in Germany. The diff
ference arises largely. he says IL not entirely,
from the manner of drinking in vogue in the two
countries. This science OF drinking" he writes,
Consists simply in the hardness of drinking.
All drinks IN Germany taken sip by sip. a
half or three quarters of an hour being consumed
for glaSs of beer. This is so simple that one is
liable to ridicule for laying stress upon it, and
yet on this point hinges. in my opinion, a
question of vast importance to Americans By
this manner of drinking the blood is aroused to
greater activity in so gradual q manner that
there is no violent arrangement of the animal
economy. By slow drinking the German ac-
complishes the object of drinking. and gives his
animal economy a chance to say, hold. enough
which only slow drinking will do"
Mr.. Tanner says that since his arrival in Ger
many he has his ''first glass Of water to see

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Copsul General

of State the progress made by the Turkish gov

Britain, Russia Germany and Italy, in framing
a new tariff He says he has carefully examined
the new tariff as far as agreed Upon, and, with
few exceptions, thinks the rates reasonable and
moderate. The most important articles In the
value Of imports from the United States are Pc

to fix duty of 20 per cent. advalorem, the high

delegates OF his appointment and readiness to

did not think it necessary to discuss the tariff
