To the Medical Profession.

The various medical associations
and the medical profession will be
glad to learn that DR.. John 8. Bill
ings, Surgeon, U. s. Army, has con-
sented to take charge of the Report
on the Mortality and Vital Statistics
OF the United States as returned by
the Eleventh Census.
AS the United States has no system
of registration of vital statistics. such
as is relied upon by other civilized
nations for the purpose of ascertain
ing the actual movement of popula-
ton, our census affords the only OPP
portunity of obtaining near an ap-
proximate estimate of the birth and
death rates of much the larger part of
the country, which is entirely un-
provided with any satisfactory sys-
tenn of State and municipal registra-
ton.
In view of this, the Census Office,
during the month Of May this year,
Will Issue to the medical profession
throughout the country physicians
Registers" for the purpose Of obtain
ing more accurate returns of deaths
than 1t is possible for the enumerators
to make. 1t Is earnestly hoped that
physicians in every part Of the
country will cooperate with the
Census Office in this important work.
The record should be kept from June
/, 1889, to May 81, 1890. Nearly $4,000
of these registration books were filed
up and returned to the office in 1880,
and nearly all of them used for
statistical purposes. It is hoped that
double this number will be obtained
for the Eleventh Census.
Physicians not receiving Registers
can obtain them by sending their
names and addresses to the Census
Office, and, with the Register, an
official envelope which requires no
stamp will be provided for their re-
turn to Washington.
If all medical and surgical prac-
titioners throughout the country will
lend their aid, the mortality and vital
statistics Of the Eleventh. Census will
be more comprehensive and complete
than they have ever been. Every
physician should take personal
pride in having this report as full and
accurate as it is possible to make 1t.
It is hereby promised that all in
formation obtained through this
source shall be held strictly conf
Dental.

Beet Root Sugar.

The beet root sugar industry has be-
come one Of the most interesting of mod
ern times. Germany takes the lead in
the production, raising annually 1,115,-
900 tons. All the beet root sugar pro-
duced annually in the world is 2,546, 900
tons. OF cane sugar there is made an
nually 2,260, 00O. tons, so that more than
half the sugar consumed is now made
from the saccharine beet.
The success that has attended this in
dustry has only been gained after CEN
fury of failure. The chief progress has
been made within the last twenty years,
and is distinctively triumph for German
agricultural chemistry. The German
government offered bounties to capitalists
who would start factories and encouraged
the farmer in various ways to cultivate
the root. Today the German farmer OBJ
tains three times the profit from the
sugar beet that he does from his grain
crop.
In the United States the sugar beet
crop brings in $50 to the acre, while the
grain crop averages only S12 to the
acre. The beet has been found pecu-
liarly adapted to our northern states,
when not planted too near the sea coast.
It has been found to rotate admirably
with grain crops-grain crops two years,
then the third year the sugar beet.
Each seems somehow to add to the soil
what the other takes from it. In order
10 be perfectly successful the sugar fac
tory and the beet plantations should be
near together. A mixed soil, long, mod
crate summer and regular rainfall fur.
nish the best conditions.

Of the blood of old Rysdyk's Hamble-

Gates of the Morgan, the Clay, and

the trotting world far more speed

combined. Hambletonian himself
sired Al performers in $3.50 and under,
and not only that, but he also sired
107 sons who in their turn are the
sires Of 587 performers. When any
one in your hearing claims superiority
for the Clays or the Morgans you can
set It down as the result Of either
ignorance or prejudice, and there is o
great deal OF prejudice among horse

A substitute for glass is finding con-
siderable favor in London. The basis of
it is threads Of very light iron wire,
about one-twelfth of an inch apart,
woven like the threads Of cloth. A sheet
Of this wire is dipped again and again
into translucent varnish. The varnish
contains no gum or resin and is made
from linseed oil. After the sheet be-
comes thick enough, it is put away to
dry for several weeks Then it is ready
to be used as window panes or for other
purposes. It is Of brilliant amber
color and is nearly as clear as glass it.
self. It can be bent readily and will
bear considerable strain. If it can be
used for lamp chimneys and street lamps
the gain will be very great.

The Berlin dispatches state that the
prompt agreement of the Commission
upon the points in controversy was in
large measure due to the fact that the
American representatives had specific
instructions from their Government
upon every point. This is in happy
contrast with the shifting and vacil-
'lating attitude of Secretary Bayard
In his foreign dealings. This sudden
change in the attitude of foreign
Governments toward the United
States is one of the most significant
illustrations of the fact that it was
the American idea which repudiated
the -Bayard Administration
and placed Harrison and Blaine in
command of the ship of State.

"The Best is Good Enough"

The man who said: "The best Is
good enough for me-" may have been
an egorist, but he had the merit OF
frankness at least. The motto OF
'"The Burlington" is: "Only the best
is good enough for our patrons" and
acting on that motto it has the best
track, the best grades, the best coach
es, sleepers and dining cars, the best
connections, the best time, and
reaches all the best cities In the west.
Its employees are required to be
courteous and accommodating, and the
management endeavOrs to arrange all
the matters of the train service so
that the passenger shall feel he Is re-
ceiving the best Of attention, and
that he is in the hands of the best
railroad corporation he ever patron
ICED. The constantly increasing bust
ness done by this line, and the popu-
larity-it has already acquired in the
great northwest, show its motto to be
taking one. For maps, timetables,
etc., call on your local agent, or ad-

The program for the great North
western sangerfest and Gilmore's
jubilee festival, to be held in Minne-
apolis June 20, 81 and %, promises a
rare and most exquisite musical treat.
Nothing similar has ever been at
tempted on so grand scale in the
Northwest. Nearly all of the great
masters of classical and modern
music are represented on the program
by selections from their most popular
works, and the leading performers
are all artists of national reputation.
OF course, German music will be
most fully represented, as the festival
is due to German enterprise; but the
French aud Italian masters will have
no reason to complain of having been
neglected. Most, If not all, of them
are on the program.
