4 COHPROMISE.

Eighteen hundred is less than forty two hundred, and the diminution of the gorgeous advertising bills from forty two. hundred to eighteen hundred is quite a saving for the city The three papers that had the advertising gener- ously consented to cut down their bills to six hundred each, and the board of finance generously voted to approve the bills at that figure, though it had pre- viously named five hundred as the amount it was willing to allow each paper. But a hundred isn't much in a matter of that kind, and it gets a troublesome thing out of the way. We'll, publicity and free discussion do some good sometimes. In this case they have saved the city twenty-four hundred dollars and made an impress sive object-lesson for future reference and instruction.

AN UNGENLyE HINT

During the last year or two the prac- tice of shipping currency in registered mail packages has been extensively adopted not only by business men, but by banks and other financial institu- tfons. The system is cheap, simple, speedy, and, as rule, safe, and it's use has undoubtedly resulted in a con- siderable saving in the cost of trans mission. But the disappearance of a registered mail package containing s14,- 900, ~sYhile in transit from Denver to Chicago, has called attention to the risk in such shipment. The government assumes no liability for the value of the contents of a registered package It undertakes only to exercise exceptional care in transmitting mail matter of that class, giving and taking receipts for it, and keeping a record so that it's progress from consignor to consignee may be accurately traced or the point at which it went astray be clearly lo- cated For the losses resulting from dishonesty, fire, accident or any other breakdown of the system, the govern ment takes no responsibility whatever, so that in case the missing $14,000 pack age should never be recovered the loss would fall upon one or the other of the parties to the shipment. All that the postal authorities could do would be to trace the package as far as possible and punish the persons who might be proved guilty of criminal conduct in causing its disappearance.
 Of course money sent by express or by special messenger is sometimes lost, but there are safer ways of sending large amounts of money than by regist- cred mail.

 had fallen S1 per cent, although that from diphthera had risen in recent years and was now about the same as it was thirty years ago. In zymotic diseases there had been a decrease of | A per cent, and in measles of 21 per cent, though epidemics of measles and Whooping cough were as common as when the Queen came to the throne. In phthisis the mortality had fallen 46 per cent, though it was still high. Can cerous diseases, on the other hand, would appear to have increased, nor was the whole of the increase attribut- able to more precise diagnosis. Ague
 had been nearly eradicated owing to
 the better cultivation of the soil. Only
 those who died from acute alcoholism
 were returned as having died from the
 effects of drink, yet the deaths from
 that cause were as numerous as they
 were twenty or thirty years ago. The
 general effect, he said of improvement
 in sanitation was that 0,000 persons
 reached the age of twenty-one who
 would have died at the beginning of the Queens reign. It must not be SUD-
 posed, however, that the population had grown so much faster. As mat ter of fact it had not increased so rap-
 idly owing to the lowering of the birth
 rate. It was curious also to note that the expectation of life diminished ir males after twenty-six years of age
 and in females after forty -four years
 of age.

RICE FOk H4PPI C0UPLES.

One of the pleasing concomitants of weddings that are not too quiet is the throwing of much rice at 'the happy couple" The rice-throwing is done with much hilarity, and some accuracy, and adds greatly to the happiness of the happy couple, especially if some grains get in the eyes or down the necks thereof. It also makes a nice litter for somebody to sweep up. The pleasing custom of rice-throwing at brides and bridegrooms has made so much trouble in the cars and on the platforms of one big railroad in this country that it has been forbidden by the company. And occasionally there are protests from in dividuals who do not rejoice in it. An interesting argument against it is made by the Rev. G. H. Cameron, of Birming- ham, England, who remarks that about two pounds of rice are thrown at the brides and bridegrooms every week at
 each of the seventy-five churches in Birmingham and its suburbs, and the
 two tons of rice thus thrown away and
 absolutely wasted last year might have
 been of very great use in feeding the
 recently famine stricken people of h.
 dia. There are over twenty thousand places of worship in England, and, if
 MT. Cameron's estimate be true for the other churches of the country, then it follows that nearly nine hundred tons | of rice are yearly thrown away at we'd dings in that country, and wasted at a
 cost of over $20,000.
 Of course in a great and rich country | like this we needn't consider the eco- l nomical side of the matter We have money to burn and rice to throw away 1 at weddings. We can do this and still | help starving people in India or any | other country. But there is a question
 about the good taste of keeping up such custom which might have been well
 enough when people didn't conceal their | thoughts as much as they do now.

Later the proportion for children were increased to A per cent but that did not silence the request for more books for children, and an in- quiry showed that in many of the fam flies the young people, who are eager patrons of the scheme, were the only ones able to read English, This is good evidence that the travelling libraries in Wisconsin are filling their mission.
