LAST year there were 30, 103 deaths in
New York city. During the same time
there were 39,25O births. According to
these figures, the growth of New York
is entirely dependent on immigration.
Indeed, but for this latter element her
population would gradually decrease.
1t would seem to be incumbent on the
people of the leading metropolis of
America to decrease her death rate, or
to increase her birth rate, or better still,
both.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean is frank
enough to express the republican inten-
ton of using the worlds fair for party
purposes. The managers of the fair
have n great deal of patronage and are
going to spend a great deal of money,
and most of them are republicans and
many of them are republican politicians,
and while the fair will not occur till
1893, the managers will have the hand
ling of a vast amount of money during
the presidential campaign. The Inter
Ocean gives publicity to the republican
intention of using this money for party
purposes. Under these circumstances,
it will be useless for the fair managers
to so to congress next winter for
money, and some changes in the organ
ization will probably be necessary.

What Keeps Women Young,

A woman is happy just in proportion
as she is content, writes Edward W. Box
in the Ladies Home Journal. The sun
has a way of changing the spots upon,
which it shines Especially in this true of
our land, where one is up today and down
tomorrow, and vice versa.
The wisest woman is she who trusts in
tomorrow, but never looks for it. To sit
down and wish that this might be, that
that would be different, does woman no
good. 1t does not harm in that it makes
her dissatisfied with herself unpleasant to
her friends, and makes her old before her
time. Happiness is not always increased
in proportion to enlarged success.
This may sound like an old saw, and
think, it is, bat there is world of wisdom
in many an old proyerb just the same
Contentment is wonderful thing to culti-
vate. There would be fewer premature
old women in the world If it was given
more of trial, but it became more uni
versal quality in womanhood.

Some Little Things
Artistic Advertising.

Undoubtedly the Ivory Soap people de-
serve credit for the best grade of illustra-
tons now being used for advertising pur-
poses. The series Of full-page drawings
which have been appearing on the last page
of the Centvy represent some of the most
capable book and magazine artists in the
country. The series must have cost no
small figure. AS yet the way up" artists
do not sign the work they do for advertis-
ers, but apprehend that it will not be
long ere We Shall see in the advertising
columns such names as George Wharton
Edwards, Z. w. Kem5e, etc. Such men as
these bring to their work, besides mere
mechanical skill, a trained Imagination
and an artistic conception of things
These qualities, when used in connection
with advertisements, command scarcely less
interest than when used in the ordinary
literary way.-Irinte''s Ink, Aug. 10, 1891.

Young Ladies' and Realism.

The young women OF to-day should not
be deceived into the notion of preferable
realistic development because the novelist
If today gets her to sit to him as his
model. This may be no certain indica-
ton that she is either good art or good
natue. Indeed she may be quite drifting
away from the ideal that woman ought
to aim at if We are to have society that
is not always tending into realistic vu'
gariety and commonplace. 1t is perfectly
true that woman is her own excuse for
being, and in way she is doing enough
for the world by simply being woman.
1t is difficult to rouse her to any sense of
her duty as standard of aspiration And
it is difficult to explain exactly what it is
that she Is TO do. If she asks il she is ex
pected to be a model woman, the reply
must be that the the world does not much
banker after what is called the model
WOMAN 1t seems to be more matter
of tendency than anything else. Is she
sagging towards re lism or rising tow
ards idealism? Is she content to be the
woman that some of the novelists, and
some of the painters also, say she is, or
would she prefer to approach that ideal
which all the world loves? 1t is a ques-
ton of standards.
1t is natural that in these days, when
the approved gospel is that it is better to
be dead than not to be real. society should
try to approach nature by the way of the
ENTHUSIASTICALLY ignoble, and even 90 such
a pace of realism as literature finds it diff
ticult to keep up with; but it is doubtful
it the young woman will get around to
any desirable state OF nature by this route
We may not be able to explain why servile
imitation of nature degrades art and dc,
grades wcme /, but deteriorate without an
ideal so high that there is no earthly
model for it.
