IT'S well. We have all tried it many

body to keep journal of the days
events, month by month. But here in
America our social system is permeated
by spirit Of unrest to such degree
that the graces and refnements of life
are often forgotten, or at least tempo
rarily overlooked. To keep diary
would have the effect, under proper sur
roundings, of developing many interest
ing and valuable qualities. 1t would
make the writer thoughtful, observing,
faethodical exact, concise, and so forth
and SO forth. Then, besides, as the years
went by, it would be great source
of pleasure to review the sights and
scenes of other days as Swallowed forth
in the pages of a well kept journal.

You think you know what a servant

Not long ago Il Rhode Island gentleman
died, directing in his will that the sum
of $12, 600 be equally divided among his
servants And when the division was
made the woman who had washed the
windows Of his house was left out, on
the ground that she did not technically
come under the designation of a servant
OF course she has brought suit to find
out why this is thus, and the lawyers
may be expected to make pretty fight
over the point whether the washing Of a
window is mental act de jure or only u

AMERICAS BIRTH RATE.
Like That of France 1t Has Greatly De-
clined During the Last Decade.

Like That of France 1t Has Greatly De-
cliMed During the Last Decade.
All the world has been discussing the
decline in birth rate and forthcoming
depopulatiou of France The phenom-
enon has been regarded as both unfort-
innate ard peculiar But, if our last
census IL correct, somewhat similar
process is beginning with u.s. Here are
the facts as given:
Between 1870 and 1880, with an immi-
grafton of 2,707 900 only, the increase of
population is II sos, 900, so that, deduct
ing the immigration, the increase which
is due TO the excess Of births over deaths
appears to be 1891 900. Between 1880
and 1890, with an immigration of 5,275,-
600, the total increase of population is
IL, 225, 900, and if we deduct the immi-
grafton the increase which is due to the
excess of births over deaths appears to
be $3.50 900 only.
The excess of births over deaths,
which was nearly 1900, 900 between 1870
and 1890, falls to less than 1000, 900 in
the following decade, although the pop
ulation at starting was 25 per cent.
greater in the latter than in the earlier
decade This can be best shown in a
table, as follows:
Increase Increase
of Pop from
ulation. Births
1870 30 $4,000 1891 ,0C0
$4,000. ...................1222 5 900 6,95o,oo0
Thus the birth rate has fallen off both
absolutely and relatively. Assuming
that this country had a birth rate of $50
per 1 900 yearly, which is about the
average of European countries, there
would have been 100000 births, and
with death rate of IS per 900, a little
over 100000 deaths. We should ex-
pect that the increase of population
through the birth rate would have been
nearly 10000, 900 instead of 7 100000.
There are apparently 1900, 900 babies
wanting, either not born or not counted.
The birth rate of the past decade, ac-
! cording to the last census, is about the
same as that Of France, Ireland and
| Greece.
1t is not an impossible rate, but it is II
pathological one. If it is correct we are
! in the same condition essentially as
France. namely, that of a sterile race,
whose increase must depend mainly on
the immigration. 1t will not do, how
ever, to say fatty that the census is
wrong, for there are many peculiar
things about our population which make
its growth a somewhat peculiar problem,
Nearly half the adult population, for
example, is now foreign born, the pro
portion of women to men is unusually
low, while the number Of persons be-
tween the ages Of 80 and 90 is much be-
low the average-221 per LOCO us against

ALL ABOUT A KISS.

says a writer in the Detroit Free Press.

him and admitted it to be true He had
waited on her for several weeks. when
one evening ne resolved TO kiss her, and
told her so.

she said with good deal of asperity.
But he was not to be frightened on:
of it. He reached for her. but she
that if he undertook any such liberties
she would scream. He didn't believe
she would SO he grabbed up and gave
her good, rouSing smack.
Sure enough, she screeched like n
steam calliope. and frightened the
young man wcll-nigh out of his senses
for ne heard the family rushing toward
the parlor. The young lady's mother
was the first to enter, and the father
came close behind.
~ hats the matter?" asked the
mother. ..-
The young man stood by the piano,
wishing the roof would fall in and bury
everybody. The young lady had jumped
upon the sofa.
Il saw mouse" she said.
The parents went back. and the
young man kissed her until she couldn't
have told a mouse from mountain.
