Singular Birth and Death Rate.

The New Zealand birth rate con-
tinues to attract the attention Of statis
ticians. 1t has steadily declined until it
is now slightly under 26 per 1000. In
the last 10 years it has fallen more than
~ points Population increases, but
the number of births remains virtually
stationary, and so the rate per 200
sinks. The births numbered between
Is, 600 and 10, 600 in 1882, and they
numbered between IS, 600 and 10, 600 in
1896. If the rate goes on falling, it will
in few years be on level with that
Of Ireland, if not of France. Two things
save the colony from an arrest Of the
growth Of population. First the death
rate-9.3 per l,000-is the lowest re-
corded of any country in the world; Sec
ond, there is a small but appreciable
immigration. Those who hold that a
high standard Of education and comfort
involves a decline in both the birth and
death rates have here a confirmation Of
their theory. The average Of children
in regular school attendance in New
Zealand is higher even than i'll Scot
land. London News.

THE LIGHT THAT CAME.
sie Dull Toy Who Developed Into a
Great Mathematical Professor.


David NJ. Geeting, Indiana's state
superintendent Of public instruction,
says that he has positive proof that it
is never a hopeless task to attempt to
instruct the dullest mind.
Years ago, when he was a teacher,
ono of his pupils, Mr.. Geeting recalls,
was n young fellow who was by all odds
the dullest boy whom he had ever at
tempted to instruct. He was especially
dull in mathematics, and had not the
slightest trace of mathematical ability
in his nature. After months and months
endeavoring to teach him the principles
Of the science, Mr.. Geeting was on the
point of giving up in despair. One day
the class to which the dull boy belonged
was given some original problem work
TO do in geometry. The problem was
placed OH the blackboard. 1t was puz-
zler. Suddenly the dull boy, his face
Illuminated with almost a supernatural
radiance, exclaimed;
1--WE got it. "
Professor Geeting says that he knew
IN a minute from the look on the boy )
face that he did have the answer.
Il know you've got it all right, " he
said, although | haven't heard your
demonstration.
The bright lights in the class all pro-
tested against hearing the dull boy 5
answer just then. "If he's got the an
swer, we know we can get it, ;" they
said, and pleaded that the matter might
be laid over until the next day. On the
following day, just as Mr.. Geeting had
felt in his bones, the dull boy had the
answer, and no one else in the class did.
"From that day wonderful trans
formation was worked in that boy 5
mind" says Mr. Geeting. "He was no
longer the most plodding, slowest,
dullest boy in the class The science of
mathematics unfolded to his mind like
a revelation. He rapidly developed the
most remarkable mathematical genius
with which have ever come into con-
tact. His mind became luminous.
"You ask me what has become Of
him. Well, that dull boy is today the
professor of mathematics in one Of the
leading educational institutions in the
United States. He is recognized as one
of the most eminent authorities on
mathematical science in the country,
and if | were to mention his name you
would at once recognize it. He often
tells me that he believes that one Of the
secrets Of his success in teaching is the
fact that be takes infinite pains with
his pupils because he recognizes that
not one of them could ever be as dumb
as he was before that ray Of light shot
across his mind that day in my geome-
try class. "-Indianapolis Sentinel.

It was the first melon Of the season
and was evidently brought from Flori-
da. The negro woman who got off the
Georgia Southern train with the melon
pretended that she did not notice the
sensation she created but no conquer
ing hero ever walked with prouder
step.
At last two dozen pairs of eyes
watched the woman as she passed out
Of the gate. As she assembled the steps
one coon who could 30 longer control
his feelings was heard to say:
"I'd like ter see dat milyun drap
dead on de fo' D"
I'D like ter see dat oman drap dead
eff she'd jes' drap dc milyun an let it
bre k, " said another.
Meanwhile the woman stopped and
put the melon on the steps to take a
rest. Then the crowd gathered around,
most of them making comments loud
enough for the woman 70 hear them.
but she pretended not to hear a word,
and after a short breathing spell she
took up the melon and marched on up
the street, followed by number Of no
tel porters, small boys, etc,
Had the melon been a genuine gyas-
