CREYFRIAR BOBBY.
There is here IN one OF the streets OF Ecn-
burgh a short monument over which Is seen
pretty statue or stone image OF doz known as
''Greyfriar's Bobby" II appears that there

broken with grief. Truly, Dolby deserves the
monumental honor that has been given him.

The city Of Edinburgh Is notable for its health
fulness and for the lovness Of its death rate.
The weekly reports for several weeks since I
came here have shown yearly rate as low as
IA per 1000. and the average annual mortality
Of the city is between 10 and ~ per 1000. The
drainage and sewage are Of the best kind; the
streets and wynds are kept clean By thorough
daily scrsping and sweeping; there are public
parks and gardens by the score and there are
always fresh sea breezes or breezes from the
hills hy which the city Is surrounded. II the
fe1lzens OF the impoverished quarters hero
could Int DO induced to use voter moro freely

compare the death rate Of Edinburgh With that
