HEBREWS IN AMERICA.


Results Announced of n Special INQUIRY
by tho Census bureau. .
The division Of vital statistics of the
Census Office has prepared a bulletin.
says tho Washington Star, containing
summary OF the results of u special
inquiry concerning the Jews in this
country.
A special schedule was prepared call
ing for details of age, sex, conjugal
condition, place of birth. occupation,
ETC., OF each person in the family re-
ported who was living on the 3lst of
December, 1889. and of certain details
concerning births, marriages and
deaths occurring in tho family for tho
tive years ended on that date.
These schedules were distributed TO
heads Of Jewish families in all parts of
the United States, the necessary names
and addresses being obtained from
rabbis of congregations and officers of
different societies.
No effort wns mado to obtain COM
plcte returns from I'LL tho Jews in tho
country, nor to develop any facts con-
corning religious or commercial cues
tons, but merely to obtain data from a
sufficient number Of families who hive
been In the United States five or moro
years to afford some reliable deductions
concerning the effect of residence
under the conditions of life in this coun-
try as contrnsted with those elsewhere.
Tho inquiry resulted in the return of
1908 completed family schedules en-
bracing 00,O30 living persons on the 3lst
day OF December, 1889, and in these
families there had been 2, l4S marriages,
6,o3S births, and 1909 deaths during the
five years ending that date.
The social condition of tho families Is
indicated to some extent by the number
OF servants kept by them, and. as about
.two-thirds are reported as keeping one
or moro servants, the families reported
may be said to be in easy circum-
stances.
The average number of persons to
each family on December 81, 1880, was
'5.7l, and the average annual number
for the five years covered by these stat
.istics was SAT. The average annual
number of marriages per 900 of total
population was much lower than tho
general rate, being but a. us against
10 to % per 1000 in the Eastern States;
and the average age at marriage Is
greater than among the general popr-
lation. The low marriage rate and the
Increased average age ut marriage arc
the principal Reasons for the low birth
rate.
Tho deaths reported for the five years
give an average annual death rate of
I'll per 1000 Of population, being about
half of the average rate for tho general
population.
The expectation of life ut the age of
10 years, bnsed upon the death rate for
the year 1889, is Oil and 5000 years
for males and females. respectively, as
against 1900 and 1905 as calculated by
life insurance companies for the general
population Of this country.
Contrasting the birth and death rates
for those of native-born and foreign
born parents indicates that the birth
rate is decreasing and the death rnte
increasing with more prolonged resi-
donce IN this country. but tho general
results indicate that the Jews here re-
tain many Of the pcculiaritics which
have been noted among them In Eu-
,rODC.

too, from experience that they arc not
likely to find good servants in the mid

arc apt to dismiss servants for slight

DUTCH DIAMONDS.

Tho influence Upon the Industry of n lie
duction In Prices.
Lost year wns very serious one for
the Dutch diamond industry, says the
London Times. which wns nearly par-
,alyzed by the action Of the Dc Beera
Company. Of Kimberley, in reducing the
production of tho raw diamond from
four million to two million carats pcr
annum in order to keep up prices The
price of raw diamonds rose more than
'one hundred per cent. at the mines, and
1T proved impossible to obtain proper
tionate advance for the cut article.
This state of things. says the British
Consul ut Amsterdam In his last report,
coming on top Of too grent an imitation
In the cutting industry in Amsterdam,
created the greatest distress among the
diamond workers, who as n class, have
the reputation Of being very thriftlcss.
For several months at the close of the
year orders for cut diamonds were alto
gether wanting, and not only were a
great number Of families reduced to OBJ
.solute restitution, but most of the new
cutting mills, which have been erected
OF late, were closed and will probably
have to be devoted to other purposes.
Since the close of the year the position
of the diamond works rather improved.
The price of cut diamonds has risen SO
far as to give some margin for the cost
OF cutting, etc, but the demand is by
no means sufficient to keep the mills
and diamond workers of the city en-
ploycd. A good deal of cutting is now
done there for London account direct.
