LONDON'S DEATH RATE.
The Market Value of n Man in the
Worlds Metropolis.

The death rate for the year works out
1875 per 1000 per annum, which is one
of the lowest we have had. 1t is some
what lower than the rate for the 80
great English and Welsh towns rolled
into one. II we compare London with
Liverpool, the largest of the provincial
towns, we find that the latter returns a
rate of 22,7, so that, applying this rate
to the metropolis, it is seen that our
actual mortality meant gain of 49,
500 lives. Dublin, with one-thirteenth
the population of London, had rate of
24.j, and on this reckoning we have
gained 20 fewer than 26,500 lives. The
western capital of Scotland, Glasgow,
was much healthier than the towns on
the Mersey and the Lifey, its rate being
20.2. Even on this figure, the metropolis
shows gain of 1900 lives.
Some one, however, had made an
actual computation of the marked
value of human being, taking into ac-
count all his good and bad qualities,
and so on, and we are, therefore, en-
abled to arrive at some idea of the gain
from a monetary point of view, quite
| apart from the losses of the metropoli-
| tan undertakers and mourning estab-
lishments through London being
healthier than the towns mentioned 1t
has been calculated that about e250
| would be a fair average price per indi-
| yidual, and that being the case, there
has been, in 1896, gain in London of
| 6 100000 compared with Glasgow, of
{ 4,625,00o compared with Liverpool,
and e6,625,000 compared with the
Irish capital. Clearly, then, we have in

more for us than just balance the ten
dency of our atmosphere to choke Us
off. Possibly there will come day when
science can provide us with great inn
provements on our modern methods OF
| preserving health, but as things go
Londoners have every reason to be

the most satisfactory Indications of n
healthy existence which are afforded by

USEFUL TATToolNG.
Suggegted as n Practical Mark for
Purposes of Identification.

Why should We lot be identified from
youth upward by a tattooed markP
Men who travel have often found diff
Guilty in getting checks cashed in
strange places and women who enter
tain are frequently taken in By dis
tinguished guests, who prove TO be any
persons except the distinguished ones
expected. A tattoo mark, registered
somewhere and placed on record so as
not to be initiated without punishment
from the law, would be every bit as use
full on human beings as the brand is
on cattle.
Human beings, when disassoeiated
from their usual attire and surround
iEgs, are distinguished from one an
other with even more difficulty than
attends the picking out of particular
COW or horse from large number. 1t
was Thomas Hughes who declared that
man would refuse to recognize his
best friend if the latter were set down
in ragged tlnthing at street crossing.
And he was right.
Men escape justice easily by such sim
pie devices as shaving the mustache
or growing a beard, and the lady in
Etageland who isn't recognized by her
own family merely because she puts
on a different color dress is not un-
known in real life. A Philadelphia man
has been discovered with his name and
address tattooed on his arm and he
takes great pleasure in getting checks
cashed at hanks where he is unknown
by merely exhibiting his arm.
Properly arranged the name and adj
dress of fair debutante, with her fam
lily crest aud few incidentals added,

Indian Women's Rights.

There was a woman's rights meeting
out in California the other day which
would have been safe from the gibes oil
even the bitterest scoffer at that move
ment. The assemblage was made up Of
women of the Umatilla tribe, whose
reservation is near Pendleton, and they
had met to bewail the fate of their hus'
bands, sons and sweethearts who have
recently fallen under the spell of the
white mans fire water" Prior to last
March, it was a misdemeanor to sell
liquor to Indians or half-breeds on or
eff reservation in California, and
things were going well enough with The
Umatillas at that time. But under an
old law it is found that the Indians can
be admitted 10 full citizenship, condi'
ton which liquor dealers of Pendleton
are making the most of. Hence the
meeting of the Indian women and then
expressions of wrath as well as sorrow
and their threats, which seemed for q
time likely to be carried into effect, Of
descending in a body on the sellers Of
fire water.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

TIE WESTERN WOMAN.

The woman of the west is the spirit

her immediate ancestors, who wofkea

.afietv of generalization, and feels a
iov in labor ahd its fruits. She pre-
iers activity, and If life offers her leis-
ure. she adopts a child or a career anu
works for her self-sought object.
The double task of making home
and developing the country has been
,brauob her so thoroughly accom-
rlisbed that. with all our vast terri
iory. We have scarcely district that
might truly be spoken of as the IRON
Tier. This achievement liberates lor
other uses the energy OF woman, and,
true to the spirit of the times, she
casts about her fol career other thah
a domestic one.
Even in the small towns Of newly-set-
tied districts the daughters of the fam
ilv do not settle down TO an intermln-
able round of spiritless housework, but
instead start out with their brothers TO
their days work as stenographers,
| typesetters, clerks or teachers. None
are idle or fill the position OF lady OF
leisure. for such ould be companion

The women with genuine business
ability test il in a small boat near shore,
and, meeting success, go further 70
venture more. The woman with a tai
eut or voice migrates to city favor
able for its cultivation, and the Old
profession of teaching has its countless
asDirants, all eager 10 learn new meth

Besides all these there are the young
women who would lead a life Of UNI
| eventful comfort at home in large
places, but who prefer the hazards
Of self-support in the world to monot
eny in a smaller sphere; so there comes
a day when these too join the army

The education of books and colleges
is of primary importance in their minds

and an ability to recognize opportunity

Another lesson that the girl of tbs
plains must learn is that manners ant
dress enhance what other claims to sue

despised as evidence of deeadenee Of

polished manner enables one to NEE
any man on advantageous ground
while faulty manner is acceptable
only to those whose ways are equally
defective.
The effect of refinement and civiliza
