Authorities seem to differ as to whether
this distinction rests with Sweden or Eng
land, the registrar general having given his
opinion in favor Of England, while that great
health authority, Mr.. Ed Chadwick, in his
Health of Nations, says that with con
tin,ied attention to sanitary science England
might be made as healthy as Sweden" Null
hall gives the death rates Of Sweden and the
United Kingdom in the decade Of ls7i-sO as
1874 and 2I.0 respectively. The death rate
for England and Wales was ~ 5 per |, 900 in
1881, and in 1881 1t was reduced to lss
which seems to bear out Mr. Chadwick's
views, and to show that England, If not 50

Wolverines Are Ugly Customers

Few Washington people know what a
wolverine is. They know that Michigan
is called the Wolverine state and that
Michigan people are called Wolverines.
But they have little or no idea why the
state was so named or what the nick
name means.
The state is named after an animal
that used to infest, and still frequents,
the dense woods in the northern part of
the state, as well as in the woods of
northern Wisconsin and Canada. This
animal is the wolverine, or, as the varie-
ties of him found in northern European
countries are called, the glutton. They
are savage beasts, these wolverines are,
and they play sad havoc with the cattle
of the Michigan farmers. They are like
a cross between wolf and bear. The
tail and the temper resC~lble those of a
wolf, but in strength and size and saw
ageness they much resemble bear.
They are less clumsy than bears, though,
and they can climb trees. Many hunter
has walked under a tree up in Michigan
without looking for wolverine in the
down on him from one of the lower
limbs, and before the next morning had
eaten him up, buckskin breeches and all,
even to the heels of his hunting boots.
They are ugly looking beasts, the only
pretty thing about them being their
bushy tail a foot or so long. Their claws
are longer and sharper than bears, and
their teeth just as sharp.
Altogether the animal is a very un-
pleasant sort of one TO see outside of a
cage. They are so savage and so wary
and suspicious that it is almost impos-
sible to catch them alive, and so they
don't have them in circuses and zoologi-
cal gardens, and most people don't know
what IL y are. They are SO savage that
hunters don't care to hunt them and SO
the wolverine has things about his own
way here he lives. Washington Critic

London never fails to impress the TOUR
iss with its peculiar place among the
cities of the world. There are many pre-
senring far finer groups OF buildings tes
main thoroughfares, such as Regent
street and Oxford street. are not to De
compared with those in Paris or Pniia-
delphia; but there is solidity in its pave
ment, asteady progress In its vehicies,
sense of continuity in the endless success
sion of its streets. an air of unpretending
confidence in its crowds, an unabashed,
nnonotonous ugliness in its lines OF suour-
ban villas which is unique. London IS
the place where incidents and gatherings
which would move many a metropolis
ito its center are wholly unnoticed ex-
cept by such as happen TO come across
them. Even the most popular events,
which NAV attract some hundred thou
sand people. do not make a sign or ripple
in the surface OF the great brick and
mortar sea which surrounds the city
proper.
He must be a very big man, indeed,
who can draw direct personal notice in
London Metropolitan news is conveyed
not bv conversation or verbal runor, but
by journals. The talk of the clubs
exalted by some society papers, is an
enthusiastically small fraction of that
which engages the metropolis. There is
really no talk of the town as distinct
from that of the nation. 1t is sheer size
which distinguishes London. Not long
ago stood by the castle in Edinburgh
and noticed that could discern men at
work in the fields all around me. There
were indications of separate outside life.
1t is SO, moreover, in the large transat-
lantic cities. Down the straight streets
of New York you can catch glimpses of
white sails on the Hudson or East river,
but when YOU look at London from any
square or open space within its borders.
there appears no proof that it has any
borders at all, or that it ends anywhere.
1t might cover the whole earth for all
YOU can see.-The Cornhill Magazine.
