Equal to the Occasion.

I, Wagner, when in Naples, was troubled,
TO have his hair cut short. When the
barber received the summons and heard
ITS purport, he sold every prospective
hair of Wagner's head TO his admirers,
ketting half the money down. To the
BARRIERS intense chagrin, Madame
Wagner witnessed the operation and
appropriated the whole Of the severed
qhair to her own use. What was to be
done? The hair dresser made a clean
breast of it to madame. and she sug-
gested that q butcher round the corner
had the same kind Of hair as her hus-
band. And half Naples slept that night
with the hair OF the butcher under it,

CHICAGO, April 23.- As might have
been expected the Great Northern road
is the first to meet the reduction in
freight rates inaugurated by the Cana
dian Pacific between New York and St
Paul President Hill of the former road
insists on the ditfercntial for lake and
rail traffic that was agreed on at the
New York conference and to preserve it
he has announced the lake and rail tariff
on a basis Of 30 cents first class from
New York to St Paul and Minneapolis
by way OF Duluth. This is reduction
of II cents, the same as was made by the
Canadian Pacific on all rail business
No action has been taken looking to a
reduction by way of Chicago, but "A con
ference of the interested lines will be
held in a day or two to decide what
shall be done. Chairman Midgley is try
ing to check the threatened demoraliZa
tion of rates and has asked western roads
to take no action until he has had an
| opportunity of communicating with the
parties responsible for the cut. There
! seems little hope, however, that rates
will be restored and maintained on an
| agreed basis. East bound lake and
rail rates were cut before a vessel left
this port for Buffalo, and indications are
| that they will strike bedrock very early
in the season. On the lake line there
has Just been taken 2,5OOOO bushels of

Birds pootor Themsslves:

Some interesting observations relating
to the surgical treatment of wounds by
birds were recently brought by NJ. Fatio
before the Physical Society of Geneva.
He quoted the case of the snipe.
which he had often observed
engaged in repairing damages.
With its beak and feathers 1t makes a
very creditable dressing. applying plas-
ters to bleeding wounds, and even Sc
curing broken limb by means of Il
stout ligature. On Que occasion he
killed a snipe which had on the
chest large dressing composed
of down taken from other parts Of the
body and securely fixed to the wound by
the coagulated blood. Twice he had
brought home snipe with interviewer
feathers strapped on to the site of the
fracture of one or other limb.
The most interesting example was that
of snipe, both of whose legs he had
unfortunately broken by n misdirected
shot. He recovered the animal only on
the day following. and he then found
that the poor bird had con-
trjvea to apply dressings and
a sort of spiint TO both limbs. In carry
ing out this operation some feathers had
become entangled around the beak, and
not being able to use its claws to get rid of
them. it was almost dead from hunger
when discovered. In case recorded by N.
Magnin, snipe which was observed to
fiy away with a broken leg was subse-
quentiy found to have forced the frag-
ments into a parallel position, the upper
fragments reaching to the knee, and

The figures in the annexed tables tell
their own story. That many counties In
Iowa should have lost population and the
state as "a whole gained less than some OF
the oldest states in the Union is indeed Il
surprise, but the figures on newer states
show where the people have gone. Ne
yada presents an anomaly in western
civilization--a state twenty-six years old
losing one-fourth its population in ten
years. Nor does there seem any promise
of early change. Indeed, it is freely adj

RURAL AND URBAN POPULATION.

In a general summary of the eleventh
census two facts must strike the most
careless observer: That, allowing for the
vastly increased immigration, the rate of
native increase has declined more than one
third, and that the increase in city popula-
tion is beyond all precedent. Great as it
is, the census figures do not show it in full,
because in the bulletins so far issued the
Office has only included cities of 5000 and
upward Even thus the urban population
has gained from 22.57 per cent. in 1880 to
1919 per cent. in 1890, and if all incorpo-
rated cities were included it would appear
people of the United States live in cities Of
5000 population and upward.
Along with this has gone decline in the
rural population in large sections without
parallel save in rare instances of war or
famine, or such wholesale repatriation rs
that of the Irish in 1S4S- 60. The following
table shows the growth of city population
