THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
DIR. TOwnshend States That the Death
Rate Here is Decreasing.

Health Officer Townshend has submitted to
the District Commissioners his annual report
for the year ending June 80. 1885, The death
rate for the year, it is stated. was much below
that Of the previous twelve months. 1t was
lower by 2 81 per 1000 than the average for
the past thirteen years. THE figures relating
to vital statistics show this city and the District
of Columbia" says the report, with its quarter
of a million population, to compare favorably
in point Of healthfuness with any city in the
world and to rank very far above the average
Of an overwhelming majority Of the cities of
the Union"
The total mortality for the year was .152
OF this number LASS were white males, Los
white females, 1,lSO colored males and l. z59
colored females, showing an annual death rate
for the year of 2O.tO per 1000.
The death rate of the white population
reached only 1920 per 1000 per annum the
lowest ever known In the history of vital sta
tistics in the District, while that of the colored
population was 5000 per 1000 per annum.
The death rate OF the colored population is
still on the decrease, being 1862 per 1000 per
annum lower than the mean average for the
past thirteen years"
DR.. Iownshend urgently recommends that
Congress appropriate money for the establish
ment OF some depot where manure and gar
bage could be carried aud made up into fer
tillzers.
Speaking Of the wharf at which fish and
oysters are received the report says that the
fact Of its surface not being of an impervious
material renders the drainage so incomplete
as to make its sanitary condition bad. He
asks for an appropriation for a new wharf.
Attention is called to the necessity Of keep
ing children from attending school when
dlphtheria, scarlet fever, &C., is raging In their
families
Recommendations are made for the establish
ment of public baths. DR.. Townsbend says:
II would recommend, to inaugurate this serv-
Ice, that an appropriation of $4,000 be asked,
one-hslf of which would be required to con-
struct the bathing house and the other half for
pay Of employees, &c. From the experience
gained after this house has been placed in
operation the advisability of going further
could be considered"

Modest Opinions of a New Member.

Representative Marlborough of North Dakota
Il at the Riggs house and is settled for the
winter. He is a new member in the broadest
sense, for he and his state are both new. Hav-
ing been . newspaper man he is modest and
does not undertake to say what Congress is
going to do with the tariff. He says Dakota is
glad 10 get into the Union. where she belongs,
and her Representatives will pay their share Of
attention to public affairs after they are in
itiated- He has already learned something Of
the duties OF q member OF Congress, through
having o number of applications for office to
look after. he Is a young man, plain matter

energy. He says he is inclined to think that

he seeks Price will probably be elected, he
thinks.

A Story for Wives.

a wife once retired for the night, worn
out and petulant because of her many
cares and her husbands absence, when
she thought he might have been at her
side. After time he came home, sat
down at his desk, and worked hard and
long at his accounts, while she lay look.
ing out at him, and feeling angry that
he seemed wholly unmindful of her.
When he had laid away slate and books
she saw him unlock a drawer, aud take
from it picture, which he fingered low
ingly over, tenderly Kissed. and then re-
placed. Her woman's curiosity was
reused, and she determined to know more
of the matter. So, while he was getting
ready for bed, she feigned sleep. He
soon slept soundly, and then she crept
from her place, like thief in the night,
took the keys, unlocked the desk and
drawer, and found that her husband had
been kissing picture of herself, which
was taken when they were first married.
Then she was chagrined and mortified
because she had not been a more loving
wife, and went back to bed with new
resolutions formed. In the morning she
put on wrapper that was clean and very
becoming, a collar and bow, and carefully
brushed her hair. When her husband
came in to breakfast, he looked at her,
caught her in his arms, and kissed her.
Then be asked the children if the little
mother didn't look pretty. She was wise
enough not to forget the lesson.
