British Vital Statistics.

The British Medical Journal, which
should be an excellent authority, re-
ports that between 1873 and 1856 the
annual marriage rate in Great Britain
fell from 17.6 to 14.2 per 1000 of the
population. Last year it rose to 1872.
The birth rate has been less fortunate.
1t reached its maximum in 1876, but
since that year there has been a steady
decline, last year the births being 10
per cent. below the number in 1875.
The marriage rate in the agricultural
districts is lower than in the manufac-
turing districts. and the decline in the
rural population is still further in
creased by the enlarged number of re-
movals into the towns. Is the mother
country going the way of France?

ing Pictures from Artists
Copy.

An English company has been formed
to print without the use OF ink in any
form, by simply bringing the plate into
contact with acknowledgements pa
per linen, silk, wool or other fabric, and
obtainiL, "a good, clear impression Of
any desired density. The operation,
says the Philadelphia Record, is as
quick and more simple than letter press
printing and the work resembles in
clearness and deiicacy a copperplate or
itho engraving. Ordinary printers
type blocks, forms, stereotypcs and
electrotypes may be used as printing
surface and drawings, etc, requiring
special blocks or eiectros, photographic
work or copperplate engraving can be
done at great saving. Original
sketches, scrolls or fancy lettering can
be made upon the transparency or
traced through from drawn or printed
sketches, the words being typed in their
respective places, and if printed on
opaque paper, Photographic replicas
OF any size can be made, while engrav-
ings can be reproduced direct from the
artists work. Any class OF paper may
be used, the sensitizing solution is
much cheaper than printing ink, and
the speed of the process is greatly in its
favor.

INDIANS NOT DYING OUT.
Indian Bureau Official Says Next Gem
sus Is Likely to show Over
100000 of Them.

THE Indian is by no means an extinct
portion of civilization, explained an In
dian bureau official tie a Washington
Star reporter, las the coming census
will very clearly demonstrate. Indeed,
instead OF running out, the last ten
years will show that he has got almost
as good a hold on life as the most ia
yored of our people. The poems regret
ting his passing away will have TO be
stored for some years. The Indian of
late years has been generally engaged
In minaing his own business. He is not
much improved morally from what he
was, but he has not fallen behind to
any noticeable extent. 1t is case of
the survival of the fittest, and, while
eventually the Indian will have to go,
he is not gathering up his traps and
getting ready to start as yet. Those
who regard the Indian as a scattered
race, existing in small camps in the far
west, will be considerably informed
when ] can tell them that there is to-
day record of 100000 Indians in the
western states. There are many kinds
there. The Choctaws number over IS.
900: tie Greeks even more: the Semi
noles about $500; the Cherokees about
10000; Chic kasaws about $500. There
are over 10000 Indians in the six ma
tons of New York state alone. The In
dian is still in it, and will be in it for
many years yet, and ! would not be
surprised if the coming census will
show that there are over 100000 OF
them"

MEMS FEET.
The Left Usually Il Little the Bigger
Shoes. However. Made
Alike In Size.

The man buying pair of shoes found
the right one perfectly comfortable and
easy, the left one rather snug, SAYS the
New York Sun.
Its usually So said the salesman;
the left foot is commonly little big
ger than the right foot
why don't you make the left shoe a
little bigger, then?" asked the Gus
toner.
Well said the salesman, 1.-The diff
ference is usually not great, and it
might not be enough SO that it would
be noticed in trying on shoes. And
then it is not SO great but what the
difference in feeling of the two shoes
disappears very soon. And then, too,
in some cases the mans right foot is the
larger. the man being right-footed in
this respect as men are sometimes left
handed, the reverse of the common
habit in the use of their hands. If shoes
were commonly made with the left a
little bigger than the right, to fit the
majority of cases, they'd be worse than
ever when you hit rightfooted man.
So the shoes are made alike in size. a
man gets pair that fit him comfortably
to start with, and they adapt themselves
quickly to any slight differences in the
feet -

WON HONORS THOUGH BLIND.
student i'm the south Carolina College
Who Surmounted Many
Difficulties

The honors of the commencement
exercises at the South Carolina college
this year were carried off by John E..
Swearingen, of Edgetield, S. c., who
has been totally blind since he was
seven years old, reports the Buffalo Ex-
press. Swearingen stood higher than
any man since the college was estab-
lished early in the century. In such
branches as mathematics and astron-
omy, where the sense of sight would
naturally be regarded as of the utmost
importance, he has achieved remarka-
BILE success. One professor says, for
instance, that Swearingen answered
with two minutes thought a complex
mathematical proposition that has not
been answered by another student in
the college. He appears to have per-
feet conception of relative positions
and distances, and he experiences no
difficulty in drawing geometrical fig
ures. 1t would be interesting to know
how much of his present conception
of these things is due to knowledge
gained consciously or unconsciously be-
fore he became blind. A child of seven
years generally has pretty good idea
of form, though not so good of dis
lance. If he were an unusually bright
child, as Swearingen probably was,
these ideas would be much advanced,
while in either case they would be last
ing. Swearingen is ambitious, but is
undecided whether to become min
lister or a lawyer. His teachers believe
he would adorn either profession.

WE'RE WILDLY cHErRED.
savannah Veterans Enthusiastically
Reeeived Mt ChnrIeston.


Capt. J. p White has returned from
the reunion at Charleston and tells a
glowing story of the enthusiastic recep-
ton that the veterans from Savannah re-
ceived and Of the good showing that they
made in the parade of Wednesday.
Capt. White says that the two Savan-
nah camps were the recipient of partlc-
ular attention and were the objects of a
continuous ovation all along the line OF
march. They made a good showing, first,
on account of the number of men they
had in line and, second, on account Of
the soldierly appearance that the old
veterans presented. The badges of the
Confederate Veterans Association and OF
McLaws camp were received everywhere
with enthusiasm, and the women of the
city showered roses and smiles upon their
wearers wherever they appeared
Charlestons reception OF the veterans
was most hospitable in every respect, and
every man of the large delegation that
went from Savannah enjoyed himself
hugely and well. There was some discom-
fort, but this they had expected and pre-
pared TO endure and there was absolutely
nothing that interferred seriously with the
pleasures the day he'd in plentiful store.
Most OF tne delegates sun remain III
Charleston. and will spend the rest Of the
week in that city. Capt. White regretted
that business compelled his own return.
and that he was not himself able 10 stay
out the entire time of the reunion.
In the parade the two Savannah camps
of the association occupied the left of the
line and as they passed were wildly
cheered. They took this as an especial
compliment. as had they been near the
right the cheers might have been intended
for the veterans generally. and not for the
particular camps. This honor they now
take to themselves. Gen. McGlashan,
with his erect and soldierly figure attract
ed and held the attention of the crowds
that lined and througed the streets, and
half dozen pretty girls bombarded him
with flowers and almost insisted upon
kissing him. Capt White ventures the
opinion that had the insistence gone III
tie farther the general would not have
found his fortltude sufficient to oppose
effectual resistance.

ing of the officers of the First Georgia
was held last Monday at the armory,
when it was decided to extend the invita-
ton. Col. Brooks was asked to invite the
Michigan officers through Col. Gardener.
Nothing had been heard from Col. Gard

noon, but no doubt is entertained that the
officers of the Thirty-frst will partake of
the hospitality of those Of the First Geor-

of the gentlemen from Michigan
The officers rooms at the armory will,
be used for the occasion. A very agree
able time will doubtless be spent in the
enjoyment of the good cheer that will be
provided, and the officers will also find
pleasure in the interchange of reminis-
cences of Chickamagua and Knoxville.
The two commands were great friends
whenever they were thrown together by
the Vicssitudes of the service, and warm
attachments have resulted The supper
will be a farewell affair, as the Michigan
regiment is to be mustered out next week.

wAYcRoss DRAINAGE POSTPONED
Board of Health Thinks October Bet
ter Time to Begin.

Supervising Engineer Chapman of the
house drainage system has just returned
from Waycross, where he went to confer
further with the local authorities there
in regard 10 the construction of drain
age system. Upon recommendation of the
board of health, however, the authorities
had concluded to abandon their original
plan of starting the work at once, and
not begin until October. This was decid-
ed upon as a safeguard in preserving the
public health.
Mr.. Chapman went to Waycross with a
full set of plans, which he has been busy
preparing for some time. 1t was the I'M
Outstanding that the work was to be
started right off, and for that reason he
hurried along. Now that the work is
postponed, Mr.. Chapman and his assist
ants will go North, where they will be
engaged on various contracts over which
his firm has supervision. On returning
to Savannah, there will probably have to
be a change in the programme, as some
of the present force will have to be de-
tailed to the Waycross contract, while
others remain In Savannah.
