Comparative Birth Rates.

few weeks ago a contributor to one Of
the New York newspapers made the state
ment that maternity was declining in some
sections of the country The other dav
several Philadelphia physicians being in
terviewed on the subject, agreed that the
statement was correct.
1t is a fact that Notwithstanding there is
a steady flow of Immigration to some of
the New England states, the population is
increasing very slowly, and the native
population is almost at standstill. Official
statistics show that in the six states of
New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont,
the birth rate is lower than in any other
states. II, as is highly probable, restric-
tions should be placed Upon immigration,
the census of 1900 might show that, instead
Of increasing, the population of some of the
northern states had decreased from that Of
1890.
On the other hand, with much smaller
volume Of immigration, the population of
the south is increasing very rapidly. The
census of 1880 was surprise to the country
as regards the south, and that of 1890
doubtless will be also. The annual birth
rate in Texas and Arkansas is greater than
that of the six New England States,
and that of the southern states
is nearly as great as that of all
the other states and the territories.
The six states with the highest birth rates
are Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. The
annual birth rate to every 1000 population
in some sections of the United States and in
other countries is as follows: Southern
states SO, New England states 90,
Sweden 30, Switzerland 81, Belgium 80,
England "a. 1t will be seen that not only
is population increasing more rapidly in the
south than in New England, but it is in
creasing more rapidly than In any Of the
foreign countries named.

The Philadelphia Record saws that "al-
though the Jute Bagging Trust may have
been knocked into a cooked hat by the dis
covery that pine needles could be made into
better baggiog at half the cost, the spoil
ers need not despair Let them organize a
Pine Needle Bagging Trust, and continue
TO squeeze the planter and farmers as of
old" That Is just what will probably lie
done, as the Standard Oil Ccm0auy is said
to be trying to obtain control of the manu-
facture of pine straw bagging. Can't con-
gress pass some antitrust law that would
protect the fsrmersl Or is the republican
Senate disposed to overlook the interests of
the farmers, and to legslate only for mo-
nopolistsl

The Bravest Of Battles.

The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall tell YOU where AM when2
On the m4ps of the world you'll fin it not;
Twas fought by the mothers Of men.
Nay not with cannon or battle shot.
With s9ori or noble pen;
Nav. not with eloquent wood or thought
From mouth Of wonderful men.
But deem in the walled up womans heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
L., there is the battlefield.
No marshaling troop, no biyouac song,
No banner 10 CLEAN and wave
But 0, these battles, they last SO long
From babyhOol 10 the grave.

The Philadelphia Press printed the other
day what purported to a list Of Gen.
Harrison's cabinet members, and said
"A suming that this list is substantially
correct, one or two observations are sug-
gested. In the first place, it is peculiarly
Gen. Harrson's own cabinet He has made
the selections, aud they represent his dis
tinctive views At the same time, it is
observed that the list contained no name
that is personally Objectionable to Mr.
Blaine. The object Of the Philadelphia
Blaine organ seems to be 10 flatter Gen.
Harrison into believing that ne has con
structed the cabinet all by himself, al
though everybody else has very good rea-
son for thinking tlst Mr. Blaine is the real
cabinet builder.

Is not generally known, is that he FIRST met
bis wife while she was married TO another
