TIE eRlr IN ENGLAND.

Over Twenty Thousand Deaths from 1t In
the Year 1890.
The report of the register general for
$780, relating to the births, marriages
and deaths in England and Wales dur
ing that year has just been issued, says
the British Medical Journal. The
birth rate, which has shown contipu-
GUS decline since 1876, was the low
est recorded during any of the last
fifty years, although the marriage rate
during the last four years has shown
steady increase, and was higher in 1890
than in any year since 1888. With re-
gard to the deaths during the period
under review it appears that the stand
ard Of public health reached in recent
years was not maintained during 1890.
The death rate, which has been 10.1,
1871 and 1872 per 1000 persons living in
the preceding three years, 1SS7-Ss-s9, rose
to 1875 during 1890. 1t should lie noted,
however, that compared with other
earlier years this death rate was still
a low one; for in none of the ten years,
1890, was the death rate as high as
200 per 1000. whereas in no year pre-
vious to 1881 was 1t ever SO low. The
increase in the rate of mortality in 1890
is attributable to the epidemic of infiu-
enza, to which, although it was gem
orally prevalent only during the first
quarter of the year, 4,523 deaths were
directly ascribed. This, however, prob
ably represents but small portion OF
the mortality really attributable to in
fuenza; for the immense increase in
the mortality from respiratory diseases

The Trick q Naturalist Played on an I'm
suspecting Fox.
Rev. ]. Murray, in his work on the
creation, relates that on one occasion an
acquaintance of his was out shooting
wild ducks, says the Boston Courier.
On reaching bend of the stream he
saw six wild geese oat of range He
crouched down in the hope that they
would presently come nearer. While
thus concealed he observed fox steal
ing down to the bank, on reaching
which he remained motionless with his
eve fixed on the geese. At length he
retired, but presently reappeared carry
ing in his mouth a very large bundle
of moss. He entered the water silent
ly, sank himself, and then, keeping the
moss above the water, himself con-
cealed, he foated among the geese.
Suddenly one of them was drawn I'M
der the water, and the fox soon APP
peared on the bank with the goose on
his back Close to the waters edge he
found hole, caused by the uprooting
of tree. This hole he cleared out and
enlarged, placed the goose at the bot
tom of it and covered his prize with
leaves and dry litter, of which there
was abundance close at hand. The fox
then took his departure, and the inter
ested watcher went to the hole and re-
moved the goose, taking care to re-
store things to their former appearance.
Then he resolved to observe what fol-
lowed. In about half an hour the fox
returned in company with another.
They went straight to the place where
the goose had been buried and removed
the earth. No goose there. They stood
looking at each other for some time,
and then suddenly the second fox at
tackled the other most furiously, as if
enraged by having a. trick played Oh

VALUE OF RECITATION.

1t L. Not Well to Ignore Sports and Pas
times.
1t is sometimes urged by philosophers
that hunting, shooting and fishing are
recreations unworthy of intellectual
men. Sentimentalists condemn them
as cruel. and hard-hearted utilitarians
ask, with a sheer: whats the use?"
The philosophers are wrong. "All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy" Field sports stiffen the sinews,
brace the nerves, exhilerate the animal
spirits and tend to promote the general
soundness which, in combination with
soundness of mind, is the chief of tenn
poral blessings.
He who does little else than hunt
and shoot and fish is likely, it is true,
to live and die an ignoramus; but the
individual who merely devotes leisure
day now and then to these amusements,
In nine cases out of ten strengthens his
brain as well as his muscles by the
exercise he takes; for body and mind
act and react upon each other, and by
working each alternately both are in
vigorated. The man of thought should
also be a man of action. If not, he is
untitled for this rough-and-tumble
world, where the executive hand is as
indispensable to success as the devising

Every British Tradesman Seeks the
Princes Custom.
There Is no day in the life of the
British tradesman, excepting, perhaps,
his wedding day, SO filled with the
poetry of beatific joy and exaltation as
that upon which, like messenger from
above, that coveted slip of parchment,
known as the Royal Warrant" de-
sends upon him. This warrant is no
ordinary honor, but is in trade more
than degree to doctor or a commits
sion to an officer. Both the latter come
in the ordinary line of promotion, but a
tradesman may be, financially speak
ing, very successful, and still be out in
the cold as far as royal customers are
concerned. All royal personages, says
the Clothier and Hurnisher, have a right
to issue their personal warrants, from
her majesty down, and such are gener-
ally of very simple character, written
on large Autograph form under the
deliberately worked arms of the donor,
and signed by the comptroller of his
household. Each warrant is governed
by it's owners own special conditions
that of the prince of Wales being, be-
sides the usual clause limiting its use
exclusively to the original recipient
during his actual business career, to the
effect that it is only given after three
years continued satisfactory service.

Equal to the Occasion.

An Ohio paper telle a story of two
young girls who were recently travel
ing on a train in that state. AS the
train stopped at station, two ladies
entered and took seats in front of them;
then a stout lady came forward and
greeted them and kept up lively con-
versation until the train started. Then
one of the two said: "Sit down near us,
and tell those girls to sit somewhere
else" So the stout lady turned and
said, in freezing tones: ~ wish to con-
verse with my friends, and would like
that seat. I am Mrs. President R., of
this road" The girls stared at her an
instant, and then one of them drawled:
Pleased to meet you, I'm sure. sup
pose you know l am Mrs. President

girl. settling herself comfortably in her
seat, said: "And ] am Mrs. Queen Vic

at the same time. notwithstanding the
mildness of the season, was clearly que
to the same cause. The register gen :
eral estimates the number of deaths
directly or indirectly due to the intiu-
enza in 1890 at upward of $4,000, which
is equivalent to death rate OF almost
per 1000. 1t is satisfactory to note
that the mortality from nearly all other
zymotic diseases was below the aver
age. Only IS deaths resulted from
smallpox in 1890, the smallest number
in any one year on record. The deaths
referred to constitutional diseases, es-
pecially to phthissi, showed marked
increase, probably attributable to the
fact that a number of persons of
phythisical constitution were pre-
maturely carried off by the influenza
epidemic during the early part of the
