Ganley, who died one year ago to day, DE
cember 81, 1896.
"May her soul rest in peace. Amen.

was seen. A ladder was procured, a

JERSEYS INHABITANTS.


Jersey men and Jersey women don't
emigrate. Jersey men and Jersey WON.
en- don't turn their backs on the farm or
the homestead to found colonies in the
south or southwest, as do the people OF
New York. New England and Pennsyl-
vania. They are glad TO be able to re-
main in Jersey, and under these cir
cumstances it is perhaps just little
peculiar that there should be 10000
more native-born women than men in
New Jersey.
The male birth rate is higher than
the female birth rate in New Jersey,
as in other states and in most countries.
In the state last year there were born
1902 females to each 1000 males. but in
most states of the union, or at least in
settled states of the union, this dis
parity is set off by two cause.-the
higher male death rate and the loss of
population through emigration. A
larger proportion of men than, women
especially in the eastern portion Of the
country. and particularly in the New
England states, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island and Connecticut. the preponder-
nnce of female inhabitants is consider
able. The average number of births in
year in New Jersey exceeds the av-
erage number of deaths by 10000. or
of births of males is larger. and has
been for many years. than the number
Of births of females, and although there
is practically little emigration from
New Jersey. the fact remains that there
are 10000 more female than male inhab-
itants in that state. native-born.
The peponderance of women is not
general. In Gloucester county, for in
stance. which is in South Jersey and
tributary to Philadelphia. there were
by the last state census, 600 more men
than women. In Ocean county, the
home of fishermen. there were by the
last census 9.112 male and s.679 female
inhabitants. considerable disparity
in favor of the former. In Atlantic
county. in Cape May county. in Cum
berland county. in Salem and in Sus-
sex the male outnumber the female in
habitants. On the other hand. in the
other counties of New Jersey the ma
tive-born female inhabitants prepon-
derate. The reason is plain. New Jer-
sey has enormous manufacturing in
terests. and perhaps the best developed
of them is the manufacture of silk. A
very considerable number of those en-
rnged in silk manufacture are women
and girls In Passaic county. which in
cludes the city of Paterson, there are
1000 more native female than male i'm
habitants. In Morris county there are
1900 more native female than male in
labitants. In Union county, which in
clndes the city of Elizabeth. there are
1900 more native-born women than ma
tive-born men. and in Essex county,
which includes the city of Newark, with
its vast and varied manufactures. there
IRE 7.179 more native female than ma
tive male inhabitants. I'm addition to
this disparity there are in all Jersey
10000 more Irish-born women than
Irish-born men. but the residents of
other nationalities include larger
male than female population.-N. y

Walter T was six years old. He

TO spend the summer at the seaside,
and Walter had new bathing suit.
Every boy in the block was invited
into the house to see him try 1t on, and
one day we discovered him in the bath
tub surrounded by an admiring group
OF juveniles, to whom he was discourse
ing about how he would dive from the
end OF the iron pier when he reached
the ocean. when the young man. how
ever. saw the ocean with the great
waves rolling on the beach. he could
not be induced to go near it. and posi-
lively refused to put on his bathing
suit. Ore day his father offered him
so cents il he would put on his suit
and get wet all over once. He wanted
the money very much, and he finally
consented. Clasping his arms around
his fathers neck like wise, the great
undertaking was begun. After much
shivering and trembling he was wet
