Death Rates and Race.

will not weary you with furth-
er details of figures, which those of
you who are specially interested in
the subject will find in the reports
of the vital statistics of the elev-
enth United States census, but
will merely say that the CORES
ponding data from Boston, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington,
and from the New England States
as whole, taken with those from
New York State and New York
City and with those derived from a
special investigation of over 10000
Jewish families, including over
so, 200 persons, lead to the follow
ing conclusions as being probable
for the United States.
1. The colored race is shorter
lived than the white and has very
high infantile death rate; it is es-
pecially liable to tuberculosis
and peumonia and less liable than
the white race to malaria, yellow
fever and cancer.
2. The Irish race has rather
low death-rate among its young
children, but a vyry high one
among adults due to considerable
extent to the effects of tuberculo-
sis, pneumonia and alcoholism.
a. The Germans appear to be
particularly liable to disorder of
the digestive organs and to cancer.
4. The Jews have low death
rate and a more than average long
evity; they are less affected than
other races by consumption, pneu-
monia and alcoholism, but are es-
pecially liable to diabetes, locomo-
tor ataXia and certain other diseas-
es of the nervous system.-J. S.
Billings, M. d., in Medical Record.

Hints to Housekeepers-

Old-fashioned mutton tallow is
the very thing for chapped lips.
Eggs with very thin shells are
not so likely to crack in boiling If
they are put on in cold water and
brought slowly to boil.
Boiling clothes, says an advanced
housekeeper, belongs to a past gen
Grafton. Clothes are much whittier
and sweeter if simply covered with
boiling water in tub.
White crocheted shawls are clean
ed by covering them for night
with -four or white cornmeal; then
shake them well, and if not per
fectly clean repeat the treatment.
When eggs are to be beaten sep
arately, beat the yolks until crea-
my and light-colored and the
whites until dry, or so that they
will not fall from the bowl if it is
turned upside down.
A simple remedy for slight at
tacks of biliousness is little le-
mon Juice and baking soda.
Squeeze the juice of small lemon
into half a glass of cold water, then
stir in pinch of soda, and drink
while efferyescing.
For frost bitten feet an ointment
composed of one half dram of pure
carbolic acid, one-half dram of
tannin, thirty drops of tincture of
iodine and two ounces of simple
cerate may be used with good eff
feet. Ut should be applied twice a
day.
One of the most efficacious rem
aides for outward application in
any chest or throat trouble is COM
phorated oil. You make it at
home. Pure olive oil put on cam
phor gum until the latter ceases to
dissolve. Add all the camphoI
that the oil will take up.
A good method of preserving
home made lard for family use is
to fill two quar- jars with the hot
lard (strained and seal as fol-
fruit. Store in a cool, dark cellar
Lard preserved in this way will be
pure and sweet and entirely devoid
of rancid taste common to lard
kept on hand for a long time.

Emperor Franz Josef, of Aus
tria, is much attached to his Pre-
mier, Cassimer Felix Badeni, who
began life as the son of a cook.
His extraordinary luck began two
years before he was born, when his
father, who was chef to one of the
last Kings of Poland, was created a
Count, more in jest than in earnest,
as he had not the money to sup
port the dignity. For time it
looked as if the Counts son would
have to return to the pots and skill
let's. But relative of their moth
err, Anna Wieren, the celebrated
German actress. became so attach
ed to the two Badeni boys that
when death rang the curtain down
upon the last act of her life's dra-
ma she beque 'thed them her entire
fortune, amounting to over $1,000
600. Young Badeni procured an
excellent education, was graduated
as doctor of philosophy, and en-
tered the Austrian Civil Service.
He was exceedingly handsome, had
delightful manners and spent mon
ey literally. 1t was not long be-
fore he became the most popular
Pole at the Court at Vienna. He
is one of the Emperor's most init.
mate friends.

For The License Tax.

The House passed bill, which has
already gone through the Senate,

The Duke of York has a
double, William Reginald Roberts
by name. At first William was
disconnected by the continual hat
doffing that marked his appearance
everywhere. Then he began to
fancy it, and live up to the situa-
ton, as it we're. He travelled all
over England in first-class car
riages, and the guards never
thought Of asking him for a ticket.
One day William was travelling
down to Windsor in his customary
princely style. Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain happened to be aboard the
same train. and, hearing from one
of the guards that the Duke of
York was in the next compartment,
he decided to go in at the next sta
ton and pay his respects to the
Duke. Tableau "His Grace" is

The Covington Commonly ealth
gives long list of the killings in
Campbell county, and recites the
fact that the first murder was like
the last, in that it presented de-
capitated victim. 1t says;
"There have been many killings
in Campbell county, one execution
and one lynching. The story of
the lynching of Peter Kline, told
again few days ago in a Cincin-
natl paper, tells nothing against
the people of Campbell county.
Kline deserved death and met it at
the hands Of the people instead OF
at the hands of the law.
"The lynching was done openly
and public opinion justified it;
and Kline was an Ohio man. But
the record Of the killings in Camp
bell county is interesting today,
and from the fact that unfortunate
Pearl Bryan was not the only vic
tim who was decapitated within
the limits of the county.

THE FIRST DECAPITATIoN.

"The first murder of record in
Campbell county was in the 5O's,
when slave trader named Wilson
came from the South to the Alex
andria neighborhood to buy slaves.
He was, as all of his class were, a
coarse man with a stock of profan-
ity and money, both of which he
disposed of literally in his efforts
to trade with the farmers in the
evening at the tavern.
"He disappeared suddenly. Six
weeks later boy named Martin
found the head of the murdered
man stuck in his "beaver" hat in a
kettle in sugar camp two miles
south of Alexandria.
"The excitement over the finding
of the head was asgreat as the eX-
citement over the finding the body
of Pearl Bryan. But the body was
found some months later in anoth-
er sugar camp where it had been
buried.
"The odor from the decomposing
body caused the discovery. All
that skill backed by money could
do to detect the murderer was done,
but skill and money failed.
'Prominent citizens were sus-
pected but no arrests were made
and the mystery of the first decap
itation in Campbell remains un.
solved Will the mystery of the
last2"
