VITAL STATISTICS.

A particularly interesting feature of
the last report of the secretary of the
state board of health is the chapter
which furnishes statistics relating to the
character and mortality of the sickness
affecting children of the school-going
age. This is question that has repeat
edly arisen among parents and school
boards in the discussion of sanitation
as applied 10 school buildings, and so
far as we know this is the first publica-
ton of statistics relating to the
question. DR.. HEWITT, the secre-
tary of the state board of health,
says in his report, that, having no Stats
tics, or any extensive observation of the
character of the sickness or sickness
rate, or of disability sufficient to unfit
for school work, not classifable as spe-
cific disease, there is necessarily lack
of data essential to an exhaustive study
of the question. Still the statistics
that he has gathered have an important
value and will afford material aid in
solving the problem of school SANTA
ton. The report is based upon the as
sumption that the limits of the school
age is between five and twenty years.
The total number of deaths reported is
1,611, of which 692 were children be-
tween the ages of five and ten years,
and 373 between ten and fifteen, and 543
between fifteen and twenty. In the
two first mentioned periods, including
from five to fifteen years, the leading
causes of mortality are classed as MAS
matte diseases, diphtheria being long
ways ahead of all others with scarlet
ina as second in the list. The
first period, from five to ten years.
out of the 692 deaths 431 were from mi
asmatic diseases, and of this number
81 died from diphtheria. Scarlet fever
comes next with 46 deaths, typhoid
fever with AZ, Group 81, measles so. In
this period diphtheria was more fatal
among the girls than among the boys.
In the second period, from ten to fifteen
years, of the 373 deaths 1875 were from
diphtheria, showing a decreased NOR
tality from this disease as children
grow older. But typhoid fever IN
creased in corresponding proportion.
An examination of the statistics for the
third period shows that the total of
from ten to fifteen years, and for the
first time the miasmatic class is in the
minority. During this period constitu-
! tional diseases are in the aScendency,
the largest number of deaths occurring
| from phthisis. Diseases of the nervous
| system, to which children of school
going age are supposed to be particu-
larly liable, caused 81 deaths between
five and ten years; "A between ten and
fifteen years; 81 between fifteen and
| twenty years. Diseases of the respira-
tory organs are accountable for but a
small mortality, and diseases of the di-
gestive organs still smaller. These
statistics are for the year 1887. while the
statistics for 1888 show reducti oh in
the mortality figures from diphtheri a
and typhoid fever, but a decided in
crease from bronchitis and pneumonia.

We have no disposition to prescribe a
course of action for members of the
legislature. We assume that every man
is capable of attending to his own bust
ness, and our time is so thoroughly
occupied in getting out the best news
paper in the Northwest we can find no
spare moments to devote to the work of
regulating other peoples affairs. But
to be courteous to our interrogation we
will endeavor to answer his question
in general way. We are perfectly
willing to accord to each member of the
legislature the right to decide for him
self whether or not he shall trim his
sails to the popular breeze. Our own
opinion is that member of a legisla-
tive body is expected to act in strictly
representative capacity. He is not there
to put his individual ideas into the form
of legal enactment unless he knows
that they accord with the popular will.
If he is in doubt as to what is the will
of his constituents on any subject, it
becomes his duty to confer with them,
and in no case to go contrary to their
wishes. Otherwise he simply abuses
the trust that has been reposed in him.

DIDN'T CUT THE PIGEON WING.
The Javanese Dancing at the Paris
Exposition.
From Scribner's Magazin,

From Scribner'S Magazine.
The Javanese dancers were a troupe of an
altogether different character. and it is only
just to credit the govt fdiSa,lde of the Paris
ians with preferriug them to the fragrant
and turbulent contortions of the GttdnGs
They were neither noisy nor abandoned.
The music was slow, regular, and savage
only in timbre. 1t tortured the nerves in
an insidioui and unsupported way only
like certain forms of Chinese punish
1nent, which at first seem wholly
bearable and did not assail
them violently, as did that of the Span
ish and Egyptian Uirtuosi. And to Its I'M
phrased. unmodulated monotony the dancers
moved with trailing ste S in slow-intnitely
slow curves, wreathing their arms, or
rather their hands, with the wrist as a
pivot, in sinuous sedateness quite impos-
sible TO characterize or describe. AS they
circled about the little stage, solemn-vis-
aged youth in-perhaps-fuIl canonicals,
surrounded by group of attendant girls,
they seemed to be performing series OF barn
yard evolutions, as of a slowly-strutting
cock encircled by his harem of hens. 1t was
decorous to the point of solemnity, and the
sense of measure was certainly preserved to
an almost measureeSs degree. The dancers
were never carried beyond themselves by
the entrain of the dance, but very visibly
and agreeably controlled and regulated
their gestures and poses. In this sense the
performance was clearly an artlstlc one.
But at the end of half hour the observer
who did net find it monotonous must have
been determined seeker after sensations.
The elaborate but limited sinuosity of the
waving hands and flexible wrists seemed at
last perfectly insipid and, instead Of being
intentional, merely the reduction to fac
titious appearance of order, of movements
in reality hap-hazard and fortuitous by
slowing of the pace to such al extent that
the sense of slowness disguised the lack OF
character in the design. After the Gndnds
any exhibition of decorum was agreeable.
but before long the emptiness of pure deco
RIM made itself dismally perceived, and
one could not help thinking that the Paris
ian amateurs who went iat) ecstasie' over
the Javanese did not analyze their sensa-
tions with sufficient assiduity.

OoK-KEEPERs OF TO-DAY.
They Have Supplanted all the Old
lime Accountants.
From the Ne,c York Star.


From the Netc York Star.
In the good old DAYS when book Keeping
was considered fine art, and in many
senses a profession, the ambitious youth
prepared himself for a place in the ranks of
the book.keepers by much study and long
apprenticeship. Those were the halcyon
days when to be the book-keeper of we'll
known and long-established business firm
was to assure oneself permanent position
In life with comfortable salary attached to
1t. More than this even, it sometimes as
sured the competent aud faithful employe an
eventual share in the business, or at least an
independence of control from new corners
in the firm, which grew and increased as
the years of his service were prolonged
That was the era when the kindly and
gracious book keeper, gray haired and ven
cradle, was like the old-time lawyer, who
knew all the firms secrets and kept them
faithfully. 1.-The house" was to him dearer
than anything else in the world Its bust
ness trials, its successes, its troubles, and its
embarrassments were to him the stories that
touched nearest bis daily life. He was a
power, too, in the business relations of the
house.
Thirty or forty years ago the book-keeper
was vastly more important individual
than he is to-day. He was factor in the
conduct of the most serious enterprises I'M
dertaken by the firm. He was consulted,
and his opinions were much thought OF.
The reason for this is obvious.
The meu of money in those days inter-
ested in business were, to great extent,
self-made men. Their education was
limited They had very little knowledge OF
accounts, and balance sheet was about as
much as they could understand, or as they
cared TO understand. SO it came about that
the accountant was really a keeper of the
company's safe and, practically. OF its
money. They were generally very faithful
servants, and, considering the freedom they
were allowed and the almost unlimited
money which was in their control, very FEW
Oscillations ever occurred.
There were big salaries paid in those
days to men of this stamp and of approved
skill. Indeed, some OF the yearly stipends
we're surprisingly large in comparison with
the profits of the business and the purcnas'
ing power of the dollar at that time.
business concerns, whose yearly pronts
We're hardly more than $1,000 or SlO,OUO,
very readily paid their book-keeper from
5000 to s., 900 year.
The social standing of the book-keeper OF
a large business firm was far different
from what it is to-day.

The Women Might Have Caught Him

FROM HIe NGlO 4 ORR ITLOtJfte.
An enterprising burglar, skilled and cum
ming at his trade, was working industri-
ously at the basemeut-door of No. 123
East Seventy third street one night re-
Gently He had removed the obstacles that
held the lower part of the door, and with a
Jimmy" was fast forcing the frail bolt at
the top when he was suddenly interrupted
by woman's voice from the second-story
window, asking him what he was doing
there. Looking up, the burglar saw the
faces of three women, the only occupants of
the house, gazing down upon him. His
only answer was to crouch as closely to
the wall as he could.
"What are you doing down there. can't
you answerw again asked the voice from
above. Still the burglar seemed to be en-
barrassed at the question and remained
discreetly silent.
'Wel,n exclaimed the voice again, shrill
and full of determination, IF you won't
answer, rll try TO make you" and the
woman seized q huge bottle of Bloom of
Youth from the dresser at her elbow, and
whirled it with all her might at the burg
lar.
Her aim was not accurate, but the bottle
struck the stone coping just above the burg
lars head, covering the long black coat
which he wore from neck TO heels with the
white, sticky sbuff. Wishing TO avoid
another bombardmsnt, the burglar made a
sudden dash and got under the short YER
anda between the two barlow windows.
He was safe here for time. at least
Meanwhile, one of the women had gone
to the front OF the house to give the alarm.
She raised the window. and to her delight
and surprise saw the portly form of zone
