The Death Rate.

The moderate weather Of the past year
has been favorable to the promotion Of
health. OF least tue deaths IN Philadelphia
have been less in number than usual.
Registrar Turner reports that there have
been but p, 42S deaths up to December II,
against %. !0l for the same period in 1896.
The decrease OF 1878 deaths is attributed
to favorable climate conditions. The in.
FAINT mortality was much less than usual.
In one week in the summer, there WAS
decrease of 400 from the number reported
during the same period of last year. Mod
crate weather is conducive to longevity.
Excessive heat and excessive cold gcncr-
