Are You in it?

Mr.. Chas. B. Spahr of Columbia University
has recently examined the records of the Sur
rogates of 80 counties in the State of New
York. covering the last three months of 1898
and including the counties of New York and
Kings, the richest in the State. The results
are remarkable as showing how few people
leave any estates at all and the low average
values of the estates left.
Out of 10000 persons over % years of age
dying during the quarter, only
$50 left estates equal to or exceeding $4,000
2466 - " averaging 1892
6549 90 " valued at 0000
Think of it Less than per ct. were worth
$4,000 and less than 20 per cent were worth
1892 when they died. The conclusion is that
whether 9115 out of every 5000 leaye an es-
tate of $4,000 or not depends upon whether
they have life insurance for that amount or
not,

firing In Doth Army and Navy Less 40
curate Than Formerly.
The training Of naval aTtillerists has
In recent years been given a good deal
of attention, and no end of powder and
shot has been expended in target practice
designed to serve a more telling purpose
in actual warfare should the occasion
present itself. Itwould seem, therefore,
that the floating equipments of naval
powers of today ought to give good ac-
counts Of themselves in point of marks
manship if called into action, though it
would be presumptuous to undertake to
foreshsdow possible results. If, ON the
other hand, past experience counts for
anything, there would seem to have
been a notable decline in accuracy in
naval gunnery, growing with success
sive improvements in naval architecture
and naval armament
1t was estimated some years ago
from data furnished by target practice at
sea that a heavy gun must be discharg-
ed so times to make one effective hit.
The old smoothbores were credited with
killing a man by the discharge of the
guns weight in shot In other words,
three tons of 80 FOUNDER shot were re-
quired for the purpose. Actual service
test with modern high power guns,
however-guns weighing 10 tons-has
within the past 10 or ~ years shown
that it took about 16 tons of projectiles
to accomplish the same thing.
1t is interesting to note from what
statistics are available that the intro
duction of rifled muskets into the armies
has had somewhat similar result. The
old time muskets, it is said, killed a
man by firing at him his own weight in
lead bullets, but the modern rife in the
hands of the average soldier. so it has
been figured out, does not effect fatal
ity until it has discharged twice the
mans weight in lead. Both here as
in naval shooting, therefore, there has
been shown to be an important demand
for greater skill and care. Whether this
has been met in any measure future hos
tilities only will tell.-Cassier' Maya

Why Alsace-Lorraine Remains French.

why AlSace-Lorralne Remains french.
There is no liberty, as we understand

own religion and the use of the French
tongue under certain restrictions. But
these restrictions import the presence of
German detectives in the churches No
more need be said to show that they

In 1871 Franco lef Alsace pretty much

Louis XIV. At the time of the seizure
as little as possible was changed in
laws, customs, manners or observancea.
In consequence Alsace remained Ger

gratitude for fair treatment slowly rem

A Girls First Fancy.

1t is always to be regretted, I think,
when love comes to girl before she hiss
attained her moral and intellectual ma
jority, writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland in
The Ladies' Home Journal The m"V
whom she would love at 16 is oft
quite different from one to whom she
could give her more mature affection
and there is always the danger of SEER z
him at disadvantage when larger
perience of other men will lead her to
make comparisons There are some
things to which time is the only guic =,
and in so momentous step as the choi"a
of the companion of lifetime ''the
unreasoning madness of love" can, IN
extreme youth, rarely be trusted. A
young girl has so many illusions, SO lit
tie knowledge of human nature, SO
slight an acquaintance with her own
heart, as to make the risk always
rious one.

THE BRIDGE OF signs.
II Was Dreaded More Than Death.
They Who Crossed 1t Never Returned to

What Connection Has 1t With the Present
Generation?

The celebrated Bridge of Signs has
always been looked upon as the acme
of suffering and misery. With what a
feeling of horror we think of the thou
sands of victims who have crossed it
never to return. But there is another
bridge, almost as old as the world itself,
and which is as prolific of suffering to-
day as in the early ages. There is a
bridge connecting health and disease
which has caused more signs in the
history of the world than any structure
built by the hand of man. 1t is a sub
ject for universal sadness when we
think how many are daily crossing this
bridge. Can we return, or must we
leave the sunlight of health forever be-

In speaking of the modern growth

in the world, the New York sam well
remarks that it is IAN interesting man
Hesitation, that Catholics, Professionals,
Jews, and secularists work together for
charity, and that priests, rabbis, min
listers, and ethical lecturers can unite
peacefully at meetings to help the
needy, whether believers or unbe-
levers. A thing of this kind could
not have occurred a generation ago.
On the platform of large hall in
which a charity meeting was lately
held, there was group of men, few of
whom knew each other. Let me in
troduce you to my friend, Ribbi-,
said an amiable Catholic priest to a
smiling Calvinist clergyman; and
there were greetings all around as an
agnostic joined the party. At the end
of the nineteenth century, there is a
spirit abroad unlike that which was
conspicuous at it's beginning.
GAS it is here, so it is elsewhere
Meetings like those which have been
held in New York are held in hundreds
of other cities throughout the country.
Even Presbyterians can join hands
with Methodists, and Baptists with
Episcopalians, and Lutherans with
Universalists, in works of charity. The
manifestations are novel and re-
markable."
And such should be the spirit of
Christianity all over the world.

What Tucker Saws.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, under date of Jan.
4th, says
Representative Henry st. George
Tucker, of Virginia, returned to Wash
ington to day. He says the people in
his district would like to see the duty
on iron and coal remain. In all other
respects they are satisfied with the
tariff bill. Mr.. Tucker is pleased with
the income tax proposition, and says it
will strengthen the revenue bill i'm
measurably, both in the House and
with the country" -
We presume that Mr.. Tucker would
vote in favor of an amendment to put
a reasonable duty on coal and iron, but,
if defeated, would vote for the bill as
reported by the Committee, in prefer
ence to the present tariff, and by so
doing, he would represent the views of
the majority of his constituents, for
whilst there is some division of opinion
in reference to the propriety of duty
on coal and iron, there is none among
Democrats, as to preference for the
Wilson bill over that of the Mckinley
bill
