SELF exclaimed DR.. Shoemaker in the re-
ceiying ward of the Pennsylvania Hospital
last evening as Michael Hanly, a patient
picked up an ordinary tumbler and took a
bite from the side.
THAT won't hurt me- said the man as
he chewed and swallowed the glass and
rolled out his tongue TO show that it was
not concealed in his mouth. This is only
my usual lunch, continued the man, as he
bit out another generous chunk of glass.
"This is simply suicide and you can't
eat any more,' said the doctor, as the
man was about starting in on the last
section, and the fragment was taken from
him.

"I'll eat that jar for FIVE cents and [ won't

bit of it. You'll have to give me plenty

IS MATERNITY FAILING !
Let The Statistics Answer the vexing
Question.

is maternity failing7p is question the
New York Herald asks, and with some
reason in the North, for the birth rate has
been steadily decreasing for years in the
New England and Middle States, as in
France, until the native population barely
holds its own
Attention has frequently been called to
this before, and to its effect on the popula-
ton of the country. The New England
element is actually growing smaller in
New England every year. 1t is probable
that the Puritan stock constitutes a MI
nority Of its population to-day, while the
foreign element, mainly Irish and Cana
dian French, are in the majority; and as
the birth rate of these latter races is very
high, their majority, even without emigra-
ton, must continue to grow until the Pur-
itan stock becomes as rare in Massachu-
sets as persons of Spanish descent in
Florida
But if maternity is failing in New
England and the North generally. this
is not so of the South, and as long as there
are several million Southern women. the
United States need be under no fear of
falling behind in the race of nations. The
comparison between the two sections is
startling, indeed. DR.. Billings official
statistics show that the six States with
the highest birth rates are Arkansas.
Texas. Mississippi, South Carolina, Ten
nessee and Alabama (all in the South.
while those with the lowest birth rates are
New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont
(all in New England. There are 1889
children born annually to every 1000
women between Is and 40 in Arkansas,
and only 7l9 in New Hampshire: in
other words, the birth rate is nearly three
times as great in the Southern as in the
Northern States. Texas and Arkansas
alone, with barely half the population of
New England, contribute more babies an
nually to the country-99,95 2, against 81
l34 in the six Northern States.
1t is the same throughout the South.
OF the total births annually in the coun-
try S0S,06l are born this side of the line
and only 500, l12 in the North and Terri
tories, large portion of the latter being
born of foreign mothers.
Maternity is not failing, at least not in
this section; and if the Herald wants to
continue its inquiries it should restrict
| them to the North. The decreasing birth
rate there is rapidly reaching the extin-
gushing state, and compares in number
of births annually to 1000 population
with other sections and countries as fol-
lows:

The farmers were very busy few

Very respectfully,
JOHN B. PATRICK.

Mr.. ED1roR: I beg leave for space in
your columns to state my position in the
report and decision above. 1t seems that
have been spotted for an example for the
discipline of the Patrick Military School.
The hour for drill is from 1890 to p. m.
On the 23d inst, at the hour of drill / told
Lieut.. Patrick that 1 was sick with the
headache, and to excuse me from drill. He
said, "all right, but 70 answer to your
name.n The Company was formed, I fell
in with the flee -cosers, near Lieut.. Sharpe.
Capt. Patrick called the roll himself and
the report marks me present and not alb.
sent without leave. felt too sick to re-
main in ranks any longer. 1 told Lieut..
Sharpe that was siok and asked him if
there was any use of me staying there. l
understood him to say 'sNo, if you have
been excused The roll was called, but
there was no drill. It seems while was
at roll-call that Lieut.. Patrick had dag
nosed my case and found me not sick.
He told Claude Breazeale that he excused
me, but / was not sick, and he knew was
not. He assumes to be the doctor and the
Judge This places ME before the Institute
as d public liar, but unfortunately for
John Patrick his bull has gored my OK,
and hold him responsible for the asser.
ton, and demand that The young gentle
man withdraw it. When went buck into
the house from yoll-call, acting entirely
upon what thought to be legal excuse,

Eureka Items.

AS our Eureka correspondent has
moved away from our midst, I think
some one else should occasionally give a
few items. At present our neighborhood
is very quiet, so many of our young peo-
pie are away. Miss zella and Lena
Campbell are both away teaching school.
Our bright little friend, Miss Eloise
Campbell, is off at school, and Miss
Tuckey Cox is visiting relatives in Geor-
gla.
Mr.. r..Alonzo Keown has left US and gone
to the far West.
We regret very much atlosing Rev. W.
n. King and family, as his family was
very interesting, and added much to our
Sunday School, Mrs. King wtsL-.ez-eA=-7eA Aae Al
our teachers, aud was always at her post.
But whilst We are losing some citizens,
others are comir~ into our midst.
Miss Anna Bozeman, of Piedmont, is on
visit to her uncle, Mr.. John P. Maddox'a
family she is an interesting young lady,
and we are always glad TO have her with
US.
One Of our old neighbor boys, John
Cox, who has been out West for the past
year, is home on visit. He Is quite sick
at present, having come sixty miles
through blizzard in stage coach, which
gave him severe cold. Our school at
Eureka is in a houriahing condition.
Miss Tallie Keown (who is our teacher)
has her hands full to manage forty-seven
scholars, but she seems to get along
smoothly with them.
