HEALTH REPORT.
That for the Month of March Has Just Been
Completed.

The health report for Birmingham for
the month of March has just been COM
pleted, and the statistics are as follows,
based on a population of $1,000; $4,000 OF
which are white and the remainder colored.
The total number of deaths were 40; ~
white and q colored. The death rate per
1000 inhabitants was $780, The white
death rate was 1900 and the colored was
292
The total number of births for March
were 36; IS white and Is colored. Inc
total birth rate was 1894. The white birth
rate was $50 and the colored 1852. There
were ten still births, white and col
ored
These figures do not show up as well as
those for many months past, but March is
always a severe month and this year 1t
was especially so. 1t will be noticed that
the total death rate exceeds the birth rate.
This is frequently the case among the ne
groes, but very seldom happens with the
whites.

A FUSilADE OF BRlCkBATS
Brought Services to an Abrupt Termination IN
st. PauPs CoIored Methodist Church.

The services at st. Paups Methodist
church, colored, on Sixth avenue, near
Twenty third street, were brought to an
abrupt termination Sunday night by sud-
den fusilade of brick-bats against the out
side of the church and through the open
windows.
The sermon had Just been finished, the
collection was being taken up, and prep
arations were being made for administering
the sacrament, and the whole congregation
was deep in it's devotions. But that didn't
matter. To say that the congregation be-
came panic stricken would be putting it
mildly. They simply walked over each
other in their efforts to reach the door,
Notwithstanding the demonstrations of the
pastor. Rev. P. G. Going, and Presiding Ell
der B. G. Smith. who had conducted the
services. Several pistol shots on the out
side, only increased the efforts of the con-
gregation to get out Of the church.
When the street was reached, nothing
could be found 1t Is said that some saw
a crowd of boys running away and that
they had been having a battle under the
windows of the church, hence the bonn
bardment which broke up the meeting The
story further goes that there Is great RI
valry between the white boys and the ne
gro boys of the neighborhood for the pos
session of the vacant lot next to the church
as a base ball ground and that daily fights
occur.
There was but one theme of CONVERSE
ton in colored circles yesterday and that
was how 'them white trash boys" broke up
the ''preachin' Sunday night.

"Revivals." He longed to see the Christians
arise in their strength to prayer and con-

came with earnest efforts by sermons and
lectures on Christ In the Home" he could
see the great need of religious power by
family affairs and Bible study in the home.

when we have it there, the church and
community will feel it. Last night Dr.

Burial Armor and Shrouds

The custom which still prevails of
sewing up q corpse in flannel origi.
mated doubtless In the act of parlia
ment, 10. and 10 Charles II, which was
passed for the encouragement of the
woolen trade and required all bodies
to be buried in woolen shrouds. Two
amending statutes were passed-167s
and 16s0-requiring at the funeral an
affidavit to be delivered to the priest
stating that the requirements of the
law had been carried out; otherwise
penalties We're incurred. These acts
were repealed by 81 George III, al
though long before that time the
penalties for noncompliance with
the law had ceased to he enforced.
During the operation of the acts for
burying In woolen the law was come
times evaded by covering the corpse
with hay or flowers, notification Of
which is sometimes met with in the
parish registers.
Burial in arlnor was not at all un-
common in the middle ages, and was
considered u most honorable form OF
burial. Sir Walter Scott In THE Lay
of the Last MINSTREL thus refers to it:
seem'd all on fire that chapel proud,
Where Rosln's chiefs uncotlin'd lie,
Each baron for sable shroud
sbeathed In his iron panoply.

No Il
A Luminous l. Tree

One OF the most remarkable Of trees
or shrubs grows near some springs
about IL miles north of Tuscarora.
1t is six or seven feet high, with
trunk which at it's base is three times
the size of an ordinary mans wrist.
It has numhnrless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat the
barberry. It's truly wonderful char.
hcteristic is itsluminosity, which is
80 great that on the darkest night it
can be plainly seen mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by its light.
Its foliage is extremely rank, and
it's leaves resemble somewhat those
of the aromatic bay tree in shape,
size and color. The luminous prop
erty is due to a gumlny substance,
which can be transferred to the hand
by rubbing and with the tranfer tho
phosphoresoent light, while that on
the leaf disappears. The luminosity
is thought to be due to parasitic
form. The Indians regard it with
superstition and will not come near
it even in daytime. They give it q
name which means witch tree. -

What We Owe to Fire.

It is worth while to note how few
Of the things, besides the fire on the
hearth, that go to make up modern
fireside could ever have come into
being except through the agency of
the fire. Trace the origin Of the
book you have been reading in your
cozy corner Of the hearth. Speech
itself is partly growth and partly
m invention, but were we not so
familiar with them we should bow
our heads in awe in the presence of
these wondrous arbitrary characters
we call the letters Of the alphabet,
by means Of which we represent
thought and speech, 80 that ideas are
preserved age after age. We look
at these characters and straightway
in our minds are reproduced the
speculations of Plato, the poetical
imaginings of Virgil or the teach
ings Of Jesus.
Through picture writing, hero
glyph, Euch figures as children play
with and call the rebus; by steps like
these-and tho steps were many CEN
turies-the rase climbed to the attain
ment of a phonetic alphabet. Then
many centuries still passed by, until
at last, after the benefcent fire had
helped men smelt and shape the
stubborn iron the movable type was
invented, and all the thoughts Of the
world are the common property Of
any who will learn to read. Measure
the distance from the hut Of the bar
barian to the fireside Of a modern
home. and you measure the total ad-
vance that man has made in ciyllizar
