WANT WALES WARRANT.

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- scends upon him. This warrant is no ordinary honor, but is in trade more than degree to doctor or a commis- 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 Furnisher, 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 elaborately 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 it's 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.

THE oRIP lN ENGLAND.
Over Twenty Thousand Deaths from It Ir
 the Year 1890.


 the Year 1890.
 The report of the register general for 1890, 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 continu- ous 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 a 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 1O.1, 1s.1 and 16.2 per 1000 persons living in the preceding three years, 1SS7-sa-s9, rose to 19.6 during 1890. It should be noted, however, that compared with other earlier years this death rate was still a low one; for in none of the ten years, 1ss1-90, was the death rate as high as 200 per 1000. whereas in no year pre- vious to 1881 was it ever so low. The increase in the rate of mortality in 1890 is attributable to the epidemic of influ- enza, to which, although it was gen. erally prevalent only during the first quarter of the year, 4,52s deaths were directly ascribed. This, however, prob ably represents but small portion of the mortality really attributable to in- Auenza; for the immense increase in the mortality from respiratory diseases at the same time, notwithstanding the mildness of the season, was clearly due to the same cause. The register gen. eral estimates the number of deaths directly or indirectly due to the inhu- enza in 1890 at upward of 27,Oo0, which is equivalent to death rate of almost per 1000. It is satisfactory to note that the mortality from nearly all other zymotic diseases was below the aver age. Only 1e 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 a 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 year.

MR MCCORMACK, general agent of the Chicago fair, through Messrs Higein- botham and Ives, who are in Rome, has secured, as a special favor of the pope to the United States, the loan of the second Bergian or Diego Ribere map of the world begun in 1494 and finished in 1899, and contemporary copy of the same map containing the famous bisect- ing line which Pope Alexander VI drew across 1t to settle the claims of Spain and Portugal to American territory. This is the fast map of the world as then known. It was bequeathed by Cardinal Borgia to the Vatican library, and is the same which Pope Plus TX re- fused to allow the American govern ment to have even a copy of. It is three feet by seven, and is in an excel lent state of preservation, clean and un- worn. It begins with the Melucca group and ends with the other half. The Nile is traced to three lakes. Russia and Siberia are put down as barren and unknown countries. America makes a showy appearance with Yucatan, Brazil and New Spain distinctly indicated, the north terminating with Labrador.

TOOK THE PREY.
The Trick Q Naturalist Played on m Un-
 suspectinE Fox.


 suspectinR Fox.
 Rev. J. 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 0 bend of the stream he saw six wild geese out of range. He crouched down in the hope that they would presently come nearer. While thus concealed he. observed a fox steal ing down to the bank, on reaching which he remained motionless with his eye 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 aoated among the geese. Suddenly one of them was drawn un- der the water, and the fox soon ap- peared on the bank with the goose on his back. Close to the waters edge he found hole, caused by the uprooting of q 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 ii enraged by having trick played on him

-Un, TO, that IS impossible. He was at his office all the evening. Iremem- Der perfectly, because wanted to % to the theater that night myse f, an. swered the young wife in startlingly distinct tones.
 Now it is no part of the modern Eris who throws the apple to help undo the mischief it has caused, and she, too, as. severates:
 My dear, he bowed to me: I could not be mistaken"
 Do you suppose she is ever forgiven for telling the truth? Not a bit of 1t The husband, too, may tell the truth on his side, that he ran to see the last act after his business was finished at the office and forgot to mention it to his wife. No harm would ever have come of it but for the apple of discord thrown, perhaps, with malevolent in- tent
 Come to think of it, the apple is re- sponsible for a great deaf of mischief in the world. Before the golden apple was thrown to the most beautiful lady, and by creating envy won its name of the apple of discord. it was a source of trouble. The most beautiful woman in | the world-as she was the only one l SOG up HI OuO SdTQ0u or Eden by indulging her appetite for the apple of knowledge. Generous, as most wom- en are where men are concerned, she gave Adam a bite, and the mean fellow told of it and laid the blame on the
 'woman that Thou gavest," and she has been blamed ever since.
 Whenever we go into the presence of our fellow men and women let us search our pockets beforehand, find that miserable apple and throw it away. Or we can eat 1t ourselves if we like that kind of fruit. But it would l be good idea to follow the example of I the small boy who was asked by a chum for bite from tke apple he was | eating. He shook his head. : "Then gimme the core"
 "But there ain't agoin' to be any core | to this apple" answered the small boy. Mrs. M. L. Rayne, in Detroit Free 1 Press.

rHE APPrE oF oIscopo.

 Ever since Exe's Time It Has Been . Source sOf Trouble.
 There are some people who, with tho best intentions in the world, have an inveterate habifof getting themselves into trouble by talking when they should keep still, of saying little too much or not enough. They are like the Fren hman who did not understand our idioms, and who said something malapropos at a social gathering. See ing that he had broken a conventional rule he attempted an apology. His American friend laughingly said: ''When we let the cat out of the bag we never try to crowd it in again" The Frenchman at once became an. gry.
 ''I zee no cat, and no bag, what you mean, hap" he asked. Here is another case. A lady of this city who has only one child, beautiful little girl, remarked to a lady, an ac quaintance, that she was going to the photographers to get the child's pict- ure taken as birthday present for the father. A few days later the acquaint- ance met the couple in a dry goods store.
 "Oh," she said, thoughtlessly. 'did you get a good picture of Mabel?" Plump went the apple of discord into their midst.
 '1 did not want her papa to know; it | is too badl" said the mother. The father only whist1ed and looked unconscious A man is seldom sur prised.
 But the young wife could not dis guise her annoyance and regret. "1 had been months planning to give him that picture, and now it is too bad"
 To the apologies of her friend she only replied:
 "You have done your worst You 1 might have known I did not want it spoken about"
 The relations between them have never been harmonious since. The I fruit did it's mission of mischief only too we'll.
 The apple of discord is social bomb. It is usually thrown by a woman, as be- | fitting, and it is not one of the regular | weapons of war. Women are notor- ious for lack of skill in throwing mis- siles, but this effort never fails. It is the unexpected which Is always hap pening.
 There Is an afternoon tea, and when | there Is a Hull in the conversation some too vigorous thinker suggests the pos | sibility of an interesting criminal who is undergoing trial being hanged h. stantly there is an awful silence-the apple of discord has fallen. All re- memb bered that a remote ancestor of the hostess was hanged a hundred years ago tor some political crime. The smartest jingle of the tea things will not cover up the awful mischief that has been done. The guests have not reached what Thackeray called "cab- wit" and will have no soothing re- sponse ready until tomorrow when it will be too late.
 An antidote to the poison would have been very simple. To have quoted the speech of a past distinguished man Dr. Johnson, was it not?-who, when he asked his wife in marriage, was told by the lady that one of her ancestors had been hanged
 To this the doctor gallantly and sensi- ply replied that although none of his ancestors had been hanged, he was sure that plenty of them had deserved hanging.

English Song Birds for Oregon.

The climate of Oregon and Washing ton is so much like that of England in its mildness and moisture that the plan of importing song birds of the latter country bids fair to be success In a consignment of birds received the other day were skylarks, nightingales, thrushes, finches and the English robin. They are to be kept in an aviary until the spring, when they will be re leased ill the Willamette and other sheltered valleys near the coast. A story went the rounds recently that the song of a nightingale had been heard in Oregon, and many persons who read it were in- credulous, believing that the nightin- gale was never seen or heard out of Flu rope. The only explanation possible was that this nightingale was a new conner that was being acclimated.

THE wool industry of Great Britain is constantly on the increase, though un- protected by tariff duties. With a population averaging nearly 300 to the square mile, she still finds room to pasture and feed 240 sheep to the square mile, and the number grows year by year. The United States, with tariff on foreign wool, has population of about twenty-two to the square mile, but only fifteen sheep, and the number is dwindling annually. The facts are painful, but nevertheless facts. Uncle Rusk's department report shows them.

THE democratic leaders of the house have been unfortunate in having inn portant legislative plans upset by illness during the present session. It had been all arranged that immediately after the reports upon the tariff bills-free wool, free binding twine and free cotton ties and bagging-were presented to the house, the free wool bill should be called up and the tariff debate opened with a set speech by Chairman Springer. The reports were made on Tuesday, but ow- ing to the serious illness of Mir Springer the opening of the debate had to be post poned until next Tuesday, when Mir Mo Millin will lead off for the democrats.

A STRIKING illustration of the growth and development of some of the western cities is shown by the mission of Sol Blum of Deadwood, s. D., in New York. Mir Blum is there on one of his annual trips to buy dry goods. Twenty years ago Deadwood was known as the wickedest city in the United States, and was nothing but collection of rough miners. gamblers and cut-throats. Women were few, and mainly of one class. Mir Blum went to Deadwood a little over ten years ago with but a small capital. To-day he is reputed by conservative business men in New York to be worth a clean million, all made in his dry goods business.
