Room in the Professions.

From time to time the cry is raised
that the professions are too crowded to
promise any degree of success to the
young man or woman who wishes to
adopt professional life. However,
existing conditions do not point to the
truth of this assertion, for never at any
time has there been greater demand
for good workers in every line than
there is at present. The only difference
between the past and present conditions
regarding the problem of supply and
demand is the fact that now the stand
ard to which the professional man has
to rise is much higher one than that
to which his parents were compelled to
attain, and the youth who wishes to
achieve success must bring every facul-
ty that he may possess to bear upon the
struggle. If he does this, he may be
very nearly certain of having his efforts
rewarded. 1t is only the drone who
finds the professions overcrowded, and
to the credit of the average youth it
must be said that he rea Lies this fact.

AS one step in the right direction,
the great National Congregational coun-
Gil at Portland approved of the consoli-
dalton of the executive boards of sew
eral of their missionary organizations.
Foreign missions are all right, and the
people approve of them by pouring out
their money without stint; but the de-
mand is for more economy and less
waste. Some of the largest contribu-
tors have recently withheld their gifts
for the reason that in these boards are
quite number of officials who are do
ing little but draw their salaries, using
the money intended by the givers to
support missionaries in the field. We
know whereof we speak, as our infor-
nation comes from gentleman who is
within the inner circle of these opera
tons. Our religious denominations
must make sweeping reformation in
their missionary boards, if they desire
to retain the confidence and secure the
contributions of the people.

A Rhapsody on Maine.

DR.. Love of the New York Medical
Mirror has visited Maine, and below is
given his ideas about the State-which
is worthy tribute to the restful and
soothing influences of the Maine health
resorts:
s'The pines these are the friars of the wood,
The brethren of the solitude,
Who fill the dim house of the trees
With softly whispered litanies,
Till all the still space of the air
Thrills with the passion of their prayer"
'sThere is soothing in the sound of
the soughing Of the pines beyond that
of the lullaby sung by fond mother
to her drowsy babe, and the fragrance
by the pine tree shed is more sleep-pro-
ducing than that from the poppy bed;
and nowhere do the pines live more
luxurously and breathe out more kind
ly their sweet incense than on the coast
of Maine.
Gas time passes l predict that dear
old Names delightful shores will be
more and more sought and appreciated
by the sick, the over-worked, the weary
and those needing ozone and rest"

MAINE VITAL STATISTICS.

DIR. A. G. Young, registrar of vital
statistics of Maine, has published his
report for 1899. 1t is a valuable and
comprehensive report. 1t is very diff
cult to get the returns from all the
towns in the State, so that each year
DR.. Young's report is over year late.
While the births for that year de-
creased by GAG from the preceding year,
there is encouragement in the fact that
the number of marriages increased by
1875. The deaths exceeded those of 1898
by Ala.
The birth rate of living children in
the State was POLO for every 1000 in
habitants. In the cities the rate was
21.03 and in the country 1896. Seven
thousand and ninety one males were
born and $3.50 females; 81. AZ per cent
of the births were of native parents
and POSI- foreign, and 1854 of parents
one of whom was foreign. The largest
per cent. of foreign births was in Bidde-
ford, the figures being 67.05 and i'll Lew
iSton 64.SS.
The number of marriages registered
during the year was 1929. In 1898 the
number was STA. The largest num-
tween 20 and % years OF age Twelve
brides were married under is years of
age. In 4, 5:53 marriages the groom was
older than the bride and in 796 the bride
was the elder.
The number of divorces granted reach
ed 100. In the previous year 764. In
1899 there was decreed one divorce for
every 81 marriages solemnized. Some
of the causes were: Adultery, Il; ex-
treme cruelty, 4; desertion, POI; intoXi-
cation, "a; cruel and abusive treatment,
2s5; non-support, 20. The wife was the
libellant $40 eases and the husband in
211
Thirty-six divorces were granted be-
fore the married life had lasted one
year, 21S after from l to years, PIG
after from 5 to 10 years, 209 after from
10 to 20 years, rs after from 20 to 30
years, and 20 after 30 years of married
life
The number of deaths for 1899 were
Ala more than for the previous year.
The largest number of deaths occurred
in February, the number being 1919, and
the smallest for one month in June, that
number being 76S. OF the deaths 147S
resulted in brain disease 1867 from
pneumonia, 1929 from heart disease,
1915 from consumption, 647 from old
age, sos from infantile diarrhoea, 541
from cancer, 233 from bronchitis, 1872
from diphtheria and Group. In 1899
there were 621 deaths from infectious
diseases, decrease of 80 over the pre-
vious year.
Three hundred and seventy-four peo-
pie met death from accidents. There
were 80 deaths from falls, 81 from frac-
lures, IA from gun or pistol shots, 80
from railroad injuries, SO from burns
and scalds, p from poisoning and lob
from drowning, but only one of which
was life lost at sea.
During the year 90 persons met death
by suicide. In 1898 the number was 56.
Of the suicides Is were males and IS
females. twenty-five committed sui
eide by hanging, 25 by shooting, "a by
poisoning, s by drowning, by cutting
throat by suffocation by gas, 2 not
stated. There were homicides during
the year.

Many people are over careful about
letting the night air into their sleeping
apartments. About this time of the
year they close their windows and al
most Theoretically seal them until the
spring thawings. No graver mistake
could be made. Don't be afraid of
Gods pure air, at morning, noon or
night. There is great delusion in the
minds of most people about night air
being unwholesome. The deadly poison
of the carbonic acid in the confined
atmosphere of sleeping room is more
to be dreaded than too liberal dose of
the clear air from outside. Except on
zero nights, keep the windows of your
sleeping rooms open just little at the
bottom.

Uncle Eben Lancaster of Bowdoin-
ham, hale and hearty, celebrated on
Wednesday the 1o2nd anniversary of
his birth. He is probably the oldest
man in Maine. He cast his vote for
the first time for James Madison, and
ever since that time has always gone
to the polls when election day came
around. He had the honor last year of
being the oldest man in the United
States to vote for Mckinley & Roose-
welt, and has among his most precious
belongings a personal letter from the
late president, congratulating him up
on his ripe old age. AS Uncle Eben

Artemus Ward.

The Century for November begins
''Y ear of American H umor." We quote
from an article by James F. Ryder on
Artemus Ward, in that number of the
magazine:
On going into the Cleveland Plain
Dealer editorial rooms, one morning,
| saw new man, who was introduced
to me as MI. Browne.
He was young, chez rful in manner,
tall and slender, not quite up-to-date in
style of dress, yet by no means shabby.
His hair was tlaxen and very straight;
his nose, the prominent feature of his
face, was Romanesque,-quit violent
ly so,Aand with a leaning to the left.
His eyes were blue gray, with twinkle
in them: his mouth seemed so given to
merry laugh, so much liz motion, that
it was difficult to describe.
1t seemed as though bubbling in him
was a lot of happiness which he made
no effort to conceal or hold back When
we were introduced he was sitting at
his table writing. He gave his leg
smart slap, arose, shook hands with
me, and said he was glad to meet me-
l believed him, for he looked glad all
the time You could not look at him
but he would laugh. He laughed as he
sat at his table writing. When he had
written thing which pleased him he
would slap his leg and laugh.
l noticed that George Hoyt and
James Brokenshire at their tables were
pleased with his merriment and indulg-
ed in broad smiles. AS babe him and
the others good morning, he said,
Come again, me liege." | thanked
him, said | would, and went my way,
thinking what a funny fellow he was.
Within month thereafter appeared
in the columns of the Plain Dealer a
funny letter signed ''Artemus Ward"
The writer said he was in the show bus
mess, had a trained kangaroo, "a most
, amoosin' little cuSs,' some 'SnaiX,"
| and collection of wax figures, which
he called a great moral show" AS he
was coming to Cleveland to exhibit, he
made proposition to the proprietor
that they scratch each others backs
the publisher to write up the show
vigorously, and the Snowman to have
the handbills printed at his office and
give him free tickets for all his family.
So | found my young friend of the CUR
gle and hay-colored hair to be an en-
bryo humorist just bursting into bloom.
Artemus, as from that time he was
best known, soon had city full of
friends, myself and family among
them

The Comfort of the Trees.

The Dying President: September, 1901.
Gentle and generous, brave-hearted, kind,
And full of love ana trust was he, our
chief;
He never harmed soul! Oh, dull and

And cruel, the hand that smote, beyond
belief!
Strike him? 1t could not be-! Soon should
we find
Twas but torturing dream-our sudden
grief!-
Then s0bs and wailings down the northern
Like the wild voice of a shipwreck from a
By false hope lulled (his courage gave us
hOpeD
By day, by night we watched,-until un-
furled
At last the word of fate Our memories
Cherish one tender thought in their sad
scope:
He, looking from the window on this world,
Found comfort in the moving green of
trees.
