The others face was ashy pale, but

On July : last statistics were pub
lished in these columns showing the
number OF deaths which had occurred
during the preceding six months
among persons who had lived to or be-
yond the age OF SO years. The total
for that period was i43. OF which ls2
were men and 251 women, says the
Philadelphia Ledger.
During the last half OF 1898 there
have been published in the obituary
columns OF the Ledger the deaths OF
431 persons who lived to or beyond the
age of SO years. OF these lsS were
men and 243 were women. Compared
with the corresponding period OF 1897
the last six months of the year which
is just past shows a great increase in
the number of deaths among aged peo-
pie. In the last half of 1897 the to-
tai number OF deaths was 329. or lo2
less Titan the aggregate of the six
months just past; the result is due in
some measure to the epidemic OF grip.
which raised the death rate of the last
two weeks OF the year from an aver
age of A for the past eight years to
81. though the death rate for these two
weeks in 1898 was very nearly as high
viz, IS. ana in 1891 1t was higher
viz. io1. The total number of deaths
of octogensrians, nonagenarians, and
centenarisns announced in the Public
Ledger during the twelve months end
ing Dec. 81, 1898, was s7l, divided into
$50 men and i9i women. showing that
30 per cent more women reach so than
do men. Or the males IS reached or

The members of an archaeological So
ciety had a gathering at the home OF
n certain one Of their number in Glou-
cester. While they were roaming
about the house. the host called the
attention of his guests to an old clock
a great favorite Of his. He told his
friends of his great attachment to this
ancient timepiece. and grew quite pa
thetic at certain points in his re-
marks. which he brought to a close
by saying. in a voice full OF emotion:
Gentlemen. l have wound up tina,

impression on his visitors. when one

amining the clock. turned the tide OF

for many obvious reasons. Mrs Bak-
constituted herself as the champion
Of the wronged employees. and OF the
public whose safety Is imperiled by
compelling notormen to work exceed
ingly long hours. First she remon-
strated with the manager. then when
remonstrance didn't succeed, she
caused suit to be Instituted against the
company. and has not only retained
some Of the best legal talent OF the me-
tropolis to conduct the prosecution, but
is spending time and additional money
TO secure evidence that will convict.
She has been importuned by her fash
ionable friends no; to do this. but her
replies may be summed up In the
statement that she doesn't see why
corporation shauld be permitted to
violate law simply because it's rich.
Every workingman and every other
right-ninded person viii respect and
applaud Mrs. Baker for her course. But
isn't 1t a terrible arraignmeat ot the

he doesn't want TO be told. and the
Judge takes care to pass by on the 9TH

that unless a labor union or some other
person like Mrs. Baker steps in. the
violation Of law not only goes unpun-

The balloons are manufactured OF

ones had been made of 1t. could not
be produced in sufficient quantities for
the large balloons until Colonel Tenn
pier invented and perfected the proc
ess. which Is briefly as follows:
The goldbeater's skin is made up OF
quantities of certain thin animal
membrane. (30.o OF these are required
for balloon OF 10000 cubic feet ca
pacity). which is first freed from all
fatty substance and then soaked in
a solution OF glycerine and water They
are then applied to boards cut in the
form and to the size of the gore Of
the balloon required; others are then
superposed until a thickness OF four
layers has been reached, great care be-
ing taken that no air bubbles remain
between the skins. After this fourth
layer method OF Strengthening Is re-
sorted to. in the shape OF a net man
or three more layers of membranes are
applied. The whole is then allowed to
dry, and solution of boiled linseed oil
is used as a varnish. The fabric is then
quite indissoluble. and the membranes
cannot by any possible means be sep
arated from one another. but some
times. to render this homogenity the
more perfect. solution OF bichromate
OF potash is sponged over the fabric.
