Chicago is congratulating itself-and
with good reason-on the steady i'm
provement in the health of its inhabit-
ants. Records kept by the board OF
health show constant decrease in
the death rate during the last 20 years,
particularly among children. Out of
every 1000 deaths during the first quar-
ter of this 2o-year period, 522 were those
of children under FIVE years of age.
During the last quarter the number
has been only 33s. The gain is attrib-
uted to the diligence of the board of
health in spreading a knowledge among
the poorer people of the best way of
feeding infants during hot weather,
and to the establishment of day nurs-
cries, sterilized milk depots, floating
hospitals and other admirable char
tiles.

= One OF the most ingenious attempts
ut escape ever known was lately
nipped in the bud
by Warden DOVE,
criminal of The Utah stahs
penitentiary. The convict who tried
the plan is Clarence L. Maxwell, bank
robber, horse thief, author and in.
ventor, who is serving an 1s-year sen.
Fence for the robbery Of the Springfield
bank in 1898. Maxwell took piece OF
pipe an inch in diameter and eight
tnches long from the foot railing Of his
5ron bed, bent the end to form a han.
die, filed this with lead. Then he
trimmed out the barrel of the impro-
vised pistol until IL was smooth and
drilled a touch-hoie in the top. This Is
as far as he got when the weapon was
discovered. he had planned n spring
which would serve as a hammer and
strike the head of a match, thus ex-
ploding the weapon. How he accom-
plished all this is q mystery. His pow
der was the heads of parlor matches
ground fine and his bullets pieces OF
lead andIiron. The guards tested some
7of the powder in rifle and found IL
effective. 1t is supposed he intended
TO escape when he was being taken
into court next month to testify in a
case.

Supervisor Tom B. Smith. of Ursa,
Ill, according to the Quincy Herald,
has something to report that may
prove of interest to farmers and per
haps everybody else. He had 40 acres
of his farm in wheat, and when it
looked as if the Hessian fly had ruined
1T he turned the tract over to his sheep
for pasture. They nibbled it down un-
til 1t looked as if no wheat was left.
When the sheep were taken out the
grain took fresh hold and duly came to
a head. Now the fortunate supervisor
has just finished thrashing the yield
of 40 acres, and finds himself in pos.
session of 1000 bushels of as pretty
wheat as was ever raised in the county.
He says it's just like finding it. He
believes that the flies were DESTROYED
by the sheep and the roots then took
fresh hold.

John Vogel, saloon-keeper of New
Albany, Ind, had the reputation OF
being vastly methodical in ali his &C.
tions. He was taken sick a few days
ago and was informed that he had
only a few hours to live. Mr.. Vogel
got out of bed quickly, went to the
telephone and called up friend, to
whom he gave most minute instruc.
tions as to the coming funeral. Then
he called up his bartender and gavo
similar complete directions regarding
his business affairs. All this having
been attended to, he went to bed
again and was dead in 40 minutes.

Dangers on the battlefield are not
the only perils federal troops are
called upon to face. Those at Fort
Smelling, Mimi, had a short-breathing
time of it few nights ago during a
violent thunder storm. While light
ming was doing its most terrifying
stunts one of the soldiers asked what
would become of them all if bolt
should strike the $4,000 pounds of
powder stored in the fort. Just then
there was terrifying crash and half
dozen Of the men saw the ground
torn up less than Is feet from the
mass of powder. Everybody covered
for an instant and it was some time
before anyone breathed freely.

For months past one Bruce Benner
has been coming money by exhibiting
in various parts of the sunflower state
a "feathered dog" An unbelieving
reporter went to view the alleged
freak. he slyly pulled half dozen
feathers from the dog back, but the
animal never WINGED. Then it was
discovered that the dog had been
covered from head to tail with a tight
fitting coat of Canton flannel on
which pigeon feathers had been so
skillfully sewn as to seem natural.
Eenner made his escape.

there were then but eighteen Rem-

who served with me in the Forty
eighth Congress. Looking about me
now find but twel.e of these left
and one of the twelve, BOutelle OF
Maine, is i'll and absent. OF the
eighteen who were in the House on
the 18th of February, 1899, three
Bland Ermentraut and Harmer-
have been removed by death, and
three-Reed, Brumm and myself
have retired. The only men now in
the House WHO were here when first
entered Congress are Payne, Ray and
Wadsworth OF New York, Henderson
and Hepburn of Iowa, Cannon and
Hill of Illinois. Steele OF Indiana,
Peirce of Tennessee and Bingham OF
Pennsylvania. This suggests how
rapid have been the political changes
