Prof. William H. Ripley says. in the
Popular Science Monthly: Suppose
two groups Of 100 infants each one
Jewish. one of average American par
entage Massachusettsl-to be born on
the same day. In spite of all the dis
parity of social conditions in favor OF
the latter, the chances determined by
statistical means. are that one-half OF
the Americans will die within AZ years.
while the first half Of the Jews will
not succumb to death or accident be-
fore the expiration of II years. The
death rate is really but little over half
of the average American population.
This holds good in infancy as in old
age. Lombroso has put it in another
way. or 1000 Jews born 217 die be-
fore the age OF years; while 458
Christians more than twice as many
are likely to die within the same
period"

The Esterhazy Name.

Prince EsterhaZy, the head of the
great Hungarian family, Is taking pro
ceedings against the commandment with
a view to preventing him from using
that name alone. says the London
Telegraph. it being argued that he
ought always to call himself Waisin-
EsterhaZy and. further from treating
bearing his arms. In the appeal which
he has addressed TO the president OF
the civil court of the Seine, the prince
explains that ii is his right and his
duty TO see that his patronymic. his
title and his arms. which are family
property. are not usurped by foreign
ers. The suppression Of the name wal
sin creates. as he maintains, confusion
which is simply deplOrable. Then he
gives what he believes TO be the true
origin of the first Walsin- EsterhaZy.
On May I. 1867. IA boy was born at
Wellerauge. in the Gard, who was bap-
tiZed and registered in the following
October. and TO whom were given the

Auguste. so mention being made either

marriage, the Younger, Louis Joseph

| Marie Auguste was then set down n
Walsin Esterhazy. This younger sol
| was the father OF the major. He rose
10 the rank of general, and Fought IL
the Crimea. Now Prince EsterhaZy
contends that Walsin- EsterhaZy Is the
name to which the commandan
should stick. aud he explains. IN con
clusion. that he knew nothing abou
him until lately, as he hardly ever
leaves Hungary, and as during IN
last thirty years the members OF Ms
family have only paid few and brie
visits To Paris. But better late thai

MIST Go HON. to Dock.

1t Is now practically certain that her
maiesty's battleship Victorious Will be
recalled from China and brought home
TO be locked at great expense, says
the London Mail.
The Victorious was sent out In
most desperate hurry in February.
1898. She grounded off Port Said on
her way. and is thought TO have dent
ed her bottom.
She has now been more than year
on the China station without being
docked; indeed. ii is over fourteen
months since her bottom was cleaned.
The dock company at Hongkong Will
not take the responsibility OF docking
her. as when lightened To the utmost
and with the tide at its highest there
is only three and one-half inches on
each side between her bilge Keel ana
the side of the dock. 1t would be run
ming a very grave risk under these cir
cumstances to attempt to place her in
dock.
Application was made TO the Japa-
nese government to dock her. But
the imperial japanese authorities,
while anxious to do all they can. state
they have no dock which will hold her.
The Victorious bottom meanwhile
is believed to be very seriously pltted
and is extremely foul. She has lost
two and one-half knots of speed and
can only crawl about at thirteen OF
| fourteen knots. Moreover, her coal
| consumption is enormous.
When sent out the admiralty imag

could not be locked. and that she

GOAT WITH A HISTORY.
BILLY Was Picked Up by an English
Regiment Ina Africa.

Billy, the goat. who has just reached
Portsmouth. England. has history.
He was picked up in South Africa by
the 9TH huZZars, who made great
pet OF him. He accompanied the regi-
ment throughout the whole or the
Matabele campaign. Several times he
was under fire. but came out unin-
jured. So attached were the hussars
10 their pet that they brought him
with them when they returned 10 En-
gland But when the transport Simla.
In which the hussars were brought
home, reached Southampton the regi-
ment. much to their disgust. found
that they and their pet must be part
ed. The board of agriculture would
not permit the goat to be landed aive,
and the hussars were not willing TO
have him killed. Lieut.-Col. Stack
pole ID. A. A. c., the officer who has
charge of the embarkation arrange
ments, interested himself In the AMI
NAL. The result was that, instead or
being killed. Billy was sent out TO
Bombay and back In the Simla, which
was making n trooping voyage TO that
port. When the Simla again reached
| southampton the goat was still under
n board OF agriculture ban and on the
| eve OF leaving for another long sea
trip when telegram giving permits

ed from the department. But Billy
was not allowed to rejoin his regiment

BOMBARDED BY METEORS.
What Becomes of the Immense Number
which Comes Earthward.

The regions OF space beyond our
planet are filed with flying fragments
Some meet the earth in its onward
rush: others, having attained incon-
ceiyable velocity, overtake and crash
into the whirling sphere with loud de-
donation and ominous glare. finding
destruction, or perhaps ricochetlng
again into the unknown.
Some come singly, yagrant fabrics
from the infnity of space; others fall
In showers like golden rain, all con
shutting a bombardment appalling In
its magnitude.
II has been estimated that every
twenty-four hours the earth on its at
mosphere Is struck by 100000 900 OF
missiles Of iron or stone. ranging from
an ounce up TO tons in weight
Every month there rush upon the
living globe at least 1900, 100000 iron
and stone fragments, which, with lurid
accompaniment, crash into tile circum
ambient atmosphere.
Owing to the resistance offered by
the air. few of these solid shots strike
the earth. They move out of space
with a possible velocity of thirty OF
forty miles second, and. like moths
plunge into the revolving globe, lurec
to their destruction by its fatal at
traction.
The moment they enter our atmos
phere they ignite; the air is piled III

ton producing an immediate rise II

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
New Idea in Tnfetn Skirts-Dressy
Afternoon Gown of Grcnadine
-JaGEiets for Fall.

Blouse suits of plain and fancy weave
are made with revers, belt and apron,
with large buttons for fastening, and
finished with braid garniture.
A new idea in the taiTeta skirts is
to have the tiounces edged with a frill.
Skirts worn with silk waists are pref
ty trimmed with cross ruches of mar
row ribbon.
Sleeves are being made smaller and
without trimming, except at the wrist.
Waists are elaborate, with reyers and
epauiets, and skirts are tucked, ruff
fled and braided. Suits of cheviot.
covert and cloth are braided, while silk
and cashmere are rullled or tucked.
A pretty afternoon gown Of grena-
dine is made with accordion-plaited
blouse and skirt, and cross-tucked
sleeves over black, with a sash of light
green tatfcta TO make it more dressy
the ribbon may be edged with mar
row frill of black mousseline, headed
by tiny applique band of moussellne
embroidered with jet beads and span
giles.
Jackets for fall wear are to be mads
longer than last year. Flat bands are
the most appropriate trimmings fol
heavy goods. Costumes are made OF
two shades of cashmere, cloth and
other heavy goods; the darker color
forms the side seams and upper part
of skirt The jacket may be finished
with bands of velvet or fancy goods
The rest is Of satin or brocade.-Chi

jGOLD FOR COTTOW-PICKERS.
Southern Banks Are Now Less De-
pendent on New York Finan-
cie-s Than Formerly.

If the statement sent out by the
New York banks is correct, cotton
pickers will be paid to a very great
extent this year in gold. 1t is the
custom Of southern banks tC get cur
rency from the New York banks. at
the beginning CT the cotton season,
with which to harvest and INcle he
cotton crop. They get small bills to
facilitate the paying Of the cotton
oickers. This year it seems that the
New York banks are not ALE to re-
spond to the demand OF their cIs1 ON
ers in the south for paper money. They
have not more than enough for their
own needs, and they cannot get any
from the treasury. The consequence
is that gold will have to be used in
moving the cotton crop. The pros
pect is therefore that there will be
plenty Of gold in circulation il the
south this year.
But what has become Of all the sill
yer? It has not been so very long
since the complaint was that there

there was any need for. In fact, sill
yer was so plentiful that people OBJ

1t is the kind of money that the ma

ever, that it costs more to move sill

that reason the bankers get bills when
