DEATHS AMONG CHINESE.
Some Interesting Facts Gathered in San
Francisco.

| From the San Francisco Bulletin.
The deaths among Chinese in this city pre-
sent some features which are of interest. As
nearly all of the members Of our Chinese colony
are adults between twenty and fifty the num-
| Der of children being SO small as to cut little
| or no figure in matters relating to our Mon
| golian population, and the number of Mongo-
lians over fifty being very small, it would natu-
rally be expected that the death-rate would be
lower than that Of the entire population Of the
, city. In a community where the average num-
Der Of children are born the death-rate is made
high by the deaths among the little ones. For
instance, of the 4s71 Caucasians who died in this
city in the fiscal year 1SS6-S7, 926 were children
under one year of age, and 1.119, or % per
| cent were under two years. During the same
year there died 4Ss Chinese, Of whom only IS
were under 20 years OF age. 1t would, there
fore, be natural to suppose that the death
rate among the population OF Chinese
adults would be far less than that
among the rest of the inhabitants of the CITY.
This, however, is not the case The death-rate
among the Chinese, estimating their number
at 1000, which Is not far ont Of the way. was
~, while that Of the white population was only
IL. The death-rate among Chinese, of persons
OF 70 years OF age and over. was 20; among
whites. lO.9 OF the total deaths in each class
the Chinese show 9O.2 per cent above 20 years,
and whites 81; under 20, Chinese 9S per cent,
whites 49,
These figures will, to those accustomed to
study vital statistics show a terrible state of
affairs among our Chinese population. Such
high death-rate among adults means some
thing. One who knows little or nothing about
Chinese and their mode of life would at once
say that they were afflicted with an epidemic
OF some kind; but those who know them see at
once that it is simply the manner of living
which causes so many deaths among those who
should have strong hold of life. Cheap food,
the custom of herding together in unhealthy
quarters, their willingness to live in filth, all of
which enables them to underbid white labor,
together with the use of opium and the prac-
tice of almost every known vice, makes death
rate which should teach much to those who may
think that Chinese are not SO bad portion of
our population as they painted. Habits of
life which kill so large part of the adult pop
ulation each year should not be made stand
ard which the white laborer must conform to
in order to keep his soul in his body. 1t would
be better for him to die at once than to consent
to supplant Chinese at such cost as would
shorten the number of his DAYS one-half.

A Child's Unconscious Satire.

MARRIAGE IN THE NURSERY, AND HOW 1T WAS

From the Kansas City Star
CredulIty belongs to childhood, but senti-

the babblings of babes.
Six little children were at play, and whether
il was that they grew tired of familiar games
or that that innate principle, "Iti not good for
man to be alone" craved expression, they de-

A STRANGE RESENTMENT.
A Father Who Did Not Speak to His
Daughter for Fifty Years.

Balletville Pa, Special to the New York Sun
Fifty years ago James Martin. well-to-do
farmer living near this place, refused to pur-
chase his fifteen-year-old daughter dress that
she very much coveted, on the plea that he
could not afford it. 1t was few DAYS before
st. Valentines day. The daughter was a
quick-tempered girl and took her fathers re-
fusal to purchase her the dress much to heart.
On st. Valentines day Farmer Martin took
from the village post Office valentine adj
dressed to him in his daughters hand
writing. 1t was a rough caricature, rep
resenting a miser counting and gloat-
ing over his money. There lived in the
neighborhood man of that kind He had a
niece whom he treated brutalv When farmer
Martin looked at his valentine he showed it to
his wife, simply remarking that he had not ex-
pected such bitter and uncalled-fOr insult
from their child. Dir. Martin took the girl to
task about it. The daughter at once declare d
that she had not sent the valentine to her
father, but, on the contrary. had mailed him a
very complimentary one, entitled The Honest
Farmer" It having been her custom since she
was little child to send him a valentine every
year. The old misers niece had obtained the
valentine Farmer Martin received to send to
her uncle. Farmer Martins daughter was with
her when she bought it. The two girls had
sealed their valentines at the same time. and
tue girl tOOh tHem DOLn ana addressed
them. In doing so she got them mixed, and
| sent the miser's valentine to her father.
In spite of all explanation. Farmer Martin
could not be brought TO believe his daughter
story. From that day he never spoke to her.
| She married and lived on a farm adjoining her
| fathers. With her husband and her children
| Farmer Martin was the kindest and mos,
| familiar terms. but he never noticed his daugh-
ter. Last week he died He left an estate val.
ued at $4,000. To his aged widow he lef,
/ $4,000. To his son-in-law he bequeathed the
remainder of the estate. provided he survived
his wife, the farmers daughter. If the son-in.
law died first then the Sl5, 900 was to be divided
among his three children. To his daughter
Farmer Martin bequeathed "a package to be
| found in his trunk, tied with a green ribbon
| and sealed with green wax" When this was
| opened it was found to be the unfortunate
| valentine that had caused the extraordinary
enlargement of the farmer from his daughter
| fifty years ago.

A Fearless Churchman.


The venerable John Allen, archdeacon of Sa-
lop, was frank, fearless man. One of his
rules of life was that if he said anything con-
demnatory Of any person, he was bound to tell
him of it. Obedience to this rule got HIM into
more than one serious difficulty On one oc-
casOn he was told that bishop, second to
none in influence and ability, who was accus-
toned to write when he travelled, had kept
some people out of a railway carriage by say
ing occupied" when in reality the next seat
TO him was only tenanted by his papers.
Then he told he." said the archdeacon.
On his return home he wrote to the bishop
what he had said and ended the story with the
words: Il am sorry that, If my information is
correct, cannot withdraw the statement
The victim of the archdeacon's candor at once
wrote to MIR. Aliens bishop, the bishop of Itch
field, letter of complaint and Mr.. Allen was
advised to make an apology. He complied by
writing the following note:
MY LORD The bishop Of Litchfeld tells me ought

The fearless archdeacon was no respecter of
persons. A nobleman once subscribed toward
the building of a church. The money was not
forthcoming and the archdeacon wrote for it,
but received no reply. He then called on the
nobleman, and. after being kept waiting some
time. was admitted to an interview. The noble
man, on being asked to pay the subscription.
declined to do 80.
Then, as hold your written promise" said
the archdeacon, Il shall put your lordship into
the county court"
His lordship did not like the prospect, and
accordingly gave check for the amount of hi:
subscription.
GOD loves cheerful giver and has no re-
gard for offerings extorted by fear" said the
archdeacon. tearing up the check and throwing
it in the fire.

The state university has taken a hint from
the schools of journalism established at some

effort in that general direction. Prof. Sanford
