DEATH RATE DECLINING.
Longevity of the Human kace Is In
creasing Year BY Year.

All who hope and believe that the
conditions of human life throughout
the world are gradually improving will
find practical support for their hope
and belief in an address recently deliv-
cred before the British Medical associa-
ton by its president, DIR. Ward Cous-
ms. Among other things DIR. Cousins
discussed the future progress of pre-
ventive medicine and predicted a
steady and great decline in the death
rate in the coming century. For the
realization of this great object he
looked above all, and rightly looked, to
an Improvement in the conditions and
in the dwellings Of the working classes.
And he was especially right in point
ing out that this improvement cannot
come from mere legislation. "The
great mass of the people must become
willing and active helpers" he said,
and in equally true words he showed
how largely the prevention of suffer-
ing and the preservation of health are
within the reach of the working
classes In our great towns il they will
only cultivate temperance and clean
illness. In this connection we are graf
flied to observe the action of the New
York health board in distributing
among the people circular setting
forth in clear and simple language va
rious easy methods to be observed for
the prevention of disease, the spread
OF epidemics and some sound advice
generally in regard to healthful living.
This is a practical service for the pub
lie good and it will undoubtedly be
successful to material degree in fur

HOW TO CLEAN WINDOW PANES.
Electric Fan Keeps the Frost From
Accommodating on the Glass.

1t is enough to give one chilly shiv-
ers up and down his spinal column and
back again to see an electric fan in
the window of a store ON Euclid
avenue whirling away as though the
thermometer indicated a deree of
heat approaching that Of Kentucky
politics. The fan Is in the big window
of the store and it is kept there all
the time, whirling away as though 1t
were summer
1t is an ordinary fan and there is
nothing about it to attract attention
save the fact that 1t is going and that
it is pointed toward the plate glass
window-that is, 1t blows the air
against the inside of the glass The
erason for this odd use of an electric
fan in the dead of winter is the solu-
ton of one Of the problems that has
bothered storekeepers for years, ever
since there were stores and winters
probably. There have been inventions
without number to solve the problem
of how to keep the frost from forming
on the inside Of show windows and OBJ

windows cannot be seen from the
street. There have been innumerable
inventions to keep the windows clear
in cold weather and some of the ex-
pensive ones are fairly successful
This merchant has found the easiest
and cheapest. He puts an electric fan
in the window space. rhe fan blows
the air aainst the inside of the glass
hard enough so that there is always a
more or less lively circulation OF air
over the face of the lass and this pre-
vents the formation of moisture.
The importance of having the win
dows clear can be understood when 1t
Is realized that the show window rep
resents a large percentage of the value
of store for business purposes in the
shopping district. A store lat rents
for $4,000 a month would not bring
anything like that sum without the

PATRIOTISM.

Patriotism said DR.. Johnson, SIS
the last refuge of scoundrel." The
remark was somewhat fogyish per- APPS,
but it described class of patriots of
the last century in England; and it APP
plies to some noisy fellows in this
land of patriots, it must be owned.
When patriotism clamors for a SUBJ
sidy for itself, in order that our flag
may float upon the seas and our COM
merce be extended, look out for that
kind of patriotism.
When patriotism is of the Colonel
Settlers order, ''for the old flag and an
appropriation, it is of the kind that
loves country as the cannibal loved
missionary. When a man loves his
country when he is in Office but wishes
il calamity when he is out, his patriot
ism falls within the Johnsonese defni-
ton.
When a fellow enlisted in the war
of the rebellion in the last days, got a
bounty of several hundred dollars and
never went to the front but slept two
or three weeks in barracks and comes
in for a pension the rest of his life and
loves his country so well that he wants
his pension raised, he is one of the
sort Of patriots that country is the
worse for having, and can better be
confronted with armed foes in reason

scheme failed to receive support and

the good fortune to visit the ruins of
Pompeii has carried away an impress

been haunted by the desire to behold
once more the vanished city which
the excavations of recent times have

THE MAN WITH THE HOSE.

Dressed in the loudest vestments of
the day,
Beside the sounding seashore he has
strayed,
The guileless guy of all the passing
throng
Who labor for their living and are
glad.
For countless weeks no new idea has
roamed
The vacant chambers of his stunted
brain:
For him the present is the only time.
Tomorrow's hopes nor memory OF the
past
Have power to shift the current of his
dream,
For quite convinced is he that his in
deed
Are gayest of the gay "A this years
hose.
Who plastered down his perfumed
locks?
Who set his jaws agape?
Whom does his work, that he from cay
to day
May live devoid of toll,
A brother to the sacred COW
That at the circus chews its peaceful
cud?
Perchance in ages past did Solomon
Take all the wisdom from a race of
men
To add unto his store, and in return
Fine raiment gave for what he took of
wit,
Whence was conceived this tribe
That never toll or spin.
Who knows but that at some far-dis-
tant day
This thing we make our mirth may,
cropping, find
A ballot box and vote just like man?
Is his the right of franchise we hold
dear?
Shah men of brain and Drawn look on
at this
And silent be for shame? Let Jerry
Simpson say.
If in his present guise
He passed beyond the portals of this
earth
And sought admission at the heavenly
gates,
What would st. Peter say?
Whose act shall set within this pump
kin head light?
His cigarette doth scarce for mind suf-
flee,
Hath he no soul? Is he more sore be-
reft
Than cannibal or those of heather
isle?
Return in haste, o pious band! There's
