Vital Statistics of Vermont.

The vital statistics of Vermont
each year furnish much interesting
and valuable information concerning
marriages, divorces, births and
| deaths. The official report compiled
under the direction Of the Secretary
of the State Board of Health en-
braces the latest figures published and
coveres a period of ~ months The
report opens with a statement re-
garding population, and it is. esti-
mated that Vermont had 33245O
inhabitants in 1892, a gain of 2S
since the census of 1890. The per-
centage of population to the total
population of New England is given
as 6.23 According to he census of
1890 there were 100 1921 males, and
136,095 females in Vermont.
The State contains 0,136 square
miles, being exceIled in area onlg by
Maine among the New England
States. Vermont has a population
of 3G 4 to the square mile. Maine
has %. l and New Hampshire41 s to
the square mile. New England con
tains rs s inhabitants to eachsquare
mile
The marriages in Vermont for The
year covered by the report were
2,S05, which is at the rate of 8.74
per 1000 of the population.
There were 1877 divorces granted
during the year, which is one to eypry
IS marriages for the year, and 5 per
cent OF each 10 900 of the popHa-
ton. In the divorces granted, SO
men were libellants and Ia women.
The whole number of births imthe
State for the year were 6.55S, of
which 1866 were males aud 3.1S7
females. There were G,090, or 1872
per cent. of foreign parentage.
The total number Of deaths regis
tered were $500, which made the
death rate ppr1000 Inhabitants Is 6.
Only one other New England State
bad a smaller death rate, viz, Maine,
where it was 1873 The proportions
of deaths divided among the sexes in
Vermont, IT 4 of males, and IS 4 OF
'Ci1uiCS pCt IOOO vi pppuidNIOHs llC
deaths by ages were as follows
Under one, 9S1; between one and
five, 1926; between five and ten, 16S;
between 80 and 40, 377; between 40
and 80. 37G; between so and so and
20, 7S0; between 70 and 80, 1910;
between so and 90, 77G; between 90
and 100, 49, The ratio of deaths
of infants under one to the births
were 1896 per 1000
These returns to the vital Stats
ties of Vermont do not vary ma
terially from the figures OF other
years, as the population remains
nearly stationary, and there are no
widespread epidemics to cause an I'M
usual mortality among the people.
The State is probably as healthful a
locality the year round as there is in
the United States, and the average
duration of human lie is as great as

India's Buried Gold,

India seems to be bottomless pit
for the burial of the worlds gold and
silver Within the last 30 years she
has absorbed $3.50, 900, 900 in gold
and $1.135,O00.O00 in silver, or
$1.724 900, 900 in all, and nobody
seems able to tell what has become
of it.
That country is vast treasury
house of gold, yet a man may live
there so years and never see any.
1t is boarded by the natives and is
never IN sight. The millions thus
hidden away are just so much money
taken out of circulation, with no ben
eft to the natives aud an enormous
detriment to commerce. Should In
dia ever be shaken to pieces in the
throes of revolt, gold that has long
lain utterly useless will be found I'M

among whom business existence has
an uncertain tenure. 1t is one of the
most conspicuous cases of wasted

The Grange.

A. large concourse OF farmers
assembled at the Cong'l vpstry last
Thursday for Grange meeting. The
Overseer's side had the literary work
in charge. There were songs, rtcifa-
lions, selections and "an old folks
educational society" Many old time
costumes were aired at this meeting,
noticeable among Others were, A. N.
FerIil, Anna Dodge and Mrs. Church
i'll. Many good ideas connected with
the farmers farm and home were
brought out bv the Z iucational So
ciety. Mrs. Gle sang d DO, Bessie
Whitcomb sang q song in which she
assured the company that the Grang-
ers would all be there when the "diu-
ner" is served. The Male Quartet
was encored, but as they were only
prepared to "steal away" they could
only respond with bow. Mrs. Pal
mer and Mrs. Small read good selec.

some original conundrums, the Mas

will have to feed the multitude. Pop

For several years the farmers have
been advised to grow more pot atoes.
Last spring they listened to this adj
vice from the secretary of agriculture
and from other less prominent but
equally convincing sources. and
planted an acreage much larger than
usual. The season was favora BILE in
most sections, and the rate of the
yield, while not the largest on record,
was heavy enough with the great
acreage to give a product hey oud all
possible demands for domestic con-
sumption. This excessive production
has crushed prices below cost of pro-
duction in many sections. Many
growers have abandoned the results
of their years work, in the north
west. The crop is estimated at 1884,
600, 900 bushels, or nearly 60,00O,-
900 bushels in excess of the heaviest
crop ever grown. But it will be a
good while before there will be any
such onrush again.

d, and curved like bent plow-

We were saved from a sure destruc-
tion by the woman, sir, lying
there.
She lived in the village close handy,
and when the hard words were
said,
Back to the old home she fastened, in
sorrow to hide her head;
And, knowing the line was in danger,
she watched there in frost and
snow.
Each night till Bills train was in
safety, pacing the road to and fro
And it happened she'd seen how the
rock fell, and, finding our time
was close,
Had rushed back to where we found
her, hardly second to lose.
So she saved us, and saved us nobly;
but there on the track she lay,
Pallid and weak and fainting, like a
figure of lifeless clay.
And some of the eager helpers, when
they heard of her loving care,
Fell on their knees by the metals, and
offered a heartfelt prayer.
No! she was safe and sound, sir. Gods
hand had been surely lent
To shelter the guardian angel that
he from above had sent.
Need tell you how those two met,
sir, on the shores of the land of
death;
How Bill kept close by his darling,
and hung on each trembling
breathe
l think, when tell you this:
That now, when his steps turn home
ward, he is met with a wife's
fond kiss.
My Lego was clean forgetting. Why,
when Bill jumped off the car.
followed, but missed my footing-a
fall, sir, and there you are.
But Bill is as straight as die, now. 1
don't mind, for 1 know he's right.
In fact, you might like to know, sir,
he's driving you down tonight.
There's his whistle; so come, sir.
Smoking? You've hardly Q minute
to spare.
There's the rug, the portmanteau
and hatbox, you'll find they are
all in there.
Goodnight. and one word ere you go,
sir-should your faith in a woman
e'er fail
Just think of the tale have told you
how Bills wife saved the GLE
mail.

Would Not BE Comforted.

1t appears that Behanzin, the de-
throned king of Dahomey, who is
still, with restricted number of
wives and children, at Fort Tartenson
in Martinique, was in utter despair
when he heard of the death of M.
Carnot, and for some time refused to
be comforted. The French authori-
ties could not explain the cause of his
affliction until one day it leaked out
that Behanzin was under the firm
conviction that the new president
would send orders for his head to be
chopped off, this being the traditional
way of treating prisoners at the in
auguration of new reign in the do
minions of the dusky monarch.

THE WOMAN LYING THERE.

THE WOMAN LYING THERE.
And he stood, alert and ready, as I'd
often seen him stand,
Gazing ahead with the lever firm
grasp'd in his sinewy hand.
Do you know the line by Dawlish,
where the rugged rocks stand high
And the crowns of those dizzy sum-
mits seem to almost touch the sky?
Well, we'd heard how the ground was
breaking-how the masses of flint
and stone
BY some mighty force of nature from
those lofty heights were thrown.
God help the sleeping travellers; If a
piece should block the line,
There'd be many poor heart broken,
and many a household pine.
So our orders were, BE careful, and
each sign and signal mark!'
And we kept up bright look out
there, as we entered the rock
gorge dark.
I was peering out through the glass,
sir, when my arm felt vise-like
clasp.
And heard Bill cry out wildly, in
choking sort of gasp
"Theres something white on the
track there, the brake, Jacl-for
your life
That was the voice 1 was hearing
good God, man, look!-'tis my
wife"
