The mortality statistics for 1900,
which have just been made public by
the census bureau, show that Michi-
liass an extremely healthy state. In
the list showing the percentage of
deaths i'm the registration states Mich
igan stands at the top with percent
age of only 1879, the smallest of all
the states on entry. This showing is
especially gratifying when it is taken
in connection with the fact that the
statistics show a decrease of 10 per
cent in the general death rate
throughout the country, and a de-
crease in the death rate in the reg
istered cities of over ? per cent per
1000 since 1890. This marked de-
crease in the death rate is largely
due to the advances made in medical
science and sanitation. The remark
ably low percentage of deaths in
Michigan would seem to prove thi:
state one of the foremost in the de
veopment and enforcement of mod
ern sanitary regulations.

why some Children are Timid.

How many children have been ter
rifed by stories of the "Bogy Man."
of "the wolf that will come and eat
them," of "the policeman who will
put them in the lookup" till their
fear of the dark amounts to positive
agony. Bedtime should be an hour
inseparably associated with the pray
er at the mothers knee, followed by a
quiet talk, after which the little one
settles down to restful sleep. But
instead how often does it happen that
the child is tucked in bed with the
admonition "Now go right to sleep,
like good boy, for if you don't there
is big dog over there in the corner
that'll come and bite youn' Go to
sleep! Sheer nervous terror keeps
the child awake. How can he be eX-
pected to grow up anything but tim
id?-ARTHUR w. YALE, NJ. D., in the
August Womdn's Home Companion.

Good suggestions to Girls.

We must give all the nice modest
girls we know credit for not concious-
ly endeavoring to catch husbands,
says an exchange, but there are those
who, instead of making themselves
useful and calmly resting in their
maiden-dignity think only of getting
married, and the questionable means
to achieve their purpose. One of
these questionable means, and one
that defeats itself is for a girl to WOO
before she is wooed. A girl who
courts man may think that she is
making an impression, for her atten-
tions please and natter him; but she
does not win his love. In disgust he
turns to someone else, whose womanly
reserve keeps him on tenderhooks,
and gives a zest and romance that
were wanting in the other affair.

speak EVIL of No One.

A Kings Daughters circle of ten
girls chose for its motto these three
words, "Guard the Tongue" Their
special promise to each other was to
speak no evil, and to listen to no evil
reports or remarks about any one,
and to discourage all gossip, scandal
and adverse criticism. They were all
very nice girls; no one would have
suspected them of the vulgar habit OF
gossiping or of saying unkind things
of their companions or neighbors.
Yet after one month under the new
rule of restraining the tongue, these
girls, every one of them, confessed
that they had been compelled to ex-
ercise great self-denial in order to
carry out their promises.-Ada G,

Home Companion.

DEAD LETTER OFFICE MAIL.
Enormous QuantitylGocs There Every
Year.


All the rules and regulations that
government can possibly make, and
all the carefully prepared directions
that postal authorities may send out,
will not give wisdom to the people in
the matter of letter posting. The flood
OF mail going in the direction of the
dead letter Office, because of lack of
directions or indefniteness or pure
carelessness, grows greater each year
instead of diminishing in volume, and
the government is seriously consider
ing how TO more expeditiously solve
what has become serious problem.
Few people have any idea of the
enormous quantity of mail that goes
to the dead letter Office. From Chi
cago alone, for instance, more than
one hundred thousand letters of local
origin, besides other mail matter, are
sent to Washington. Most of these
are not sent out by business firms or
business people, but from their APP
pearance are largely in the nature of
social correspondence. The non-de-
livery of these letters must occasion
complications and difficulties and prob
ably understanding all of which
could be avoided by the exercise of a
little common sense on the part of
the senders.
Could even small proportion of
the persons who mail letters without
their address in the corner be induced
to place this on their envelopes the
benefit of the practice would soon be
apparent. Business people know the
value of this rule, and rarely omit the
return card. Among those not accus-
toned to business methods the return
card is often neglected, and with what
disastrous effect the records clearly
show The result is that many
careless writer's all over the country
daily find fault with the postoffice be-
cause of the non-receipt of letters,
when the fault, as a matter of fact,
should be properly placed at their own
door

CONVERTED TO MORMON FAITH.

eyes, il took great deal of reso-
luton to join the Mormon church;
was months in bringing myself to be-
come one of the Latter Day Saints,
even after l was convinced of the
truth of their doctrines. But | am
glad now that took the step"
The speaker was Miss Cora Hodges
of Sheridan, Mich. Her large, brown
eyes glowed with religious fervor. AT
first sight one would not pick her out
as the type of girl to accept an un-
popular faith. Prepossessing in ap-
pearance, there is an air of gentle
shyness, of withdrawal, in her man
ner; but when the subject of her faith
arises, her face lights up with the
fire of enthusiasm.
''It was three years ago last spring
that the saints first came to my home
in Montcalm county," she continued.
81 was away at the time, but | re-
member that wrote to mother that
they ought not to be allowed to stay,
but should be driven away. My par
ents are good people, but they never
belonged to any church, and my faith
er had never had any preacher to stay
with us. But when the elders came
around again he took them in, and
they held cottage meetings at our
house.
81 had always thought great deal
about religious matters, but had never
found anything that seemed clearly
the truth until heard the elders.
There is so much prejudice against
the mormons that at first | did not
listen to them, but finally | became
convinced. Then it was long strug'
gle before | was baptized.
SIN the Mormon church there is no
baptism but immersion, and it was
hard to bring myself to it. Last
spring | did. | did not feel the chill
of the water or anything else but
gladness.
"My parents are what are called
Dry Land Mormons' now-they be-
lieve but have not been baptized.
There have been five other families
converted in that village. There is
still great deal of prejudice to be
met, though they can see that the
Mormon families are all good, quiet
people. Detroit Journal.

How General Grant lost his Hiram

How General Grant lost his ''IIiram'
Not many Americans know that
Hiram L Grant was the eighteenth
President of the United States. Yet
it is true, for "Ulysses Simpson" was
never legally the name of our great
est General This interesting fact is
brought out by Franklin b. Wiley in
The Ladies' Home Journal for Sep
tember, in "Famous People as We
Do Not Know Them" The story of
how it came about was told by a mem
ber of Congress-Thomas L. Hamer-
who recommended young Grant as a
candidate for West Point in 1889 Mr..
Hamer had long been friend of the
Grants, but when he came to make
out the application papers for Ulysses
he could not recall the boys full
name. So, deciding that he was
doubtless named for his mothers fam
| lily, he wrote it "Ulysses Simpson
Grant" Thus was it recorded at
West Point, and though the atten-
tion of the officials was several times
called to the error they did not feel
authorized to correct it. This name
was gradually adopted, and by it
Grant was, and always will be, known.
But as for any record of the birth OF
ulysses Simpson Grant," that does
NOT eyist

sxowDRIFT COMPOUND.
A Lard Compound with a Remark
able Record.

Since Snow Drift lard compound was
placed upon the market It has revolution
lied things in the cooking world. In
this part of the country it has just about
driven the lard products out of the mar
ket. 1t is so far superior to them and
from a standpoint of health they make
no attempt to stand up against ii.
1t is made of the purest material, is
free of all deleterious substances so COM
mon in ordinary hog fat lard and many
lard compounds, and is absolutely free
of unpleasant fumes in cooking.
1t will not partake of the taste or smell
of the food cooked in it.
1t may be used in frying fish or onions
and then may be used in cake. 1t has
so favorably impressed itself upon house
wives in this city and wherever it is
used that they will have nothing better.
Snow Drift is made by the Southern Cot
ton Oil Company. it is a Savannah in
dustry and merits all the good things
hOusekeepers are saying about it,
About all the grocers are keeping 1t and
the most of them are pushing its sale,
because they find that it gives such uni
versal satisfaction.-ad.

CALLED IT MURDER.
Horace Jones Killed Ben BIount
without PrOvOcation.

without PrOvOcation.
An inquest was held yesterday by Cor
oner Keller over the body of Benjamin
Blount, who was shot and MORALLY
wounded, on the morning of July 4, by
Horace Jones. The tragedy occurred on
the Louisville road, about five miles
from the city, and according to the jury,
was willful and deliberate murder. Jones
has not yet been captured.
Lila Williams a negro woman, and the
only witness, told the same story that was
printed in the Morning News at the time
of the shooting. 1t appears that Jones,
who is a young negro, owed Blount, an
elderly man, some money, which he was
Indifferent about paying. The men had a
wordy alteration early in the morning,
and Blount ordered Jones from his place.
According to the woman Jones returned
in about twenty minutes with shotgun,
and without saying a word, tried to shoot
Blount. The weapon snapped, and an
other argument was commenced. 1t
seems that Jones made Blount get his
gun and cone out into the road. At a
command from Jones he placed the weap-
on on the ground, and went a few feet
away. Again Jones lifted his gun and
the hammer fell without causing 1t to
explode. He tried the second BARREL and
load of bird shot entered the left side
of Blount, making an ugly wound which
caused his death a short while later.
Jones walked slowly down the road and
| has not been seen since.
DR.. F. VAIL testified that he had been
called upon to treat the wounded man.
and stated that the gunshot wound had
produced death. The physician had found
between 200 and 300 small shot in Blount 2
side. With the testimony of the two
witnesses the jury had no hesitancy in
returning verdict of murder war
| rant for the arrest of Jones on the crime
charged by the jury was sworn out by
| Coroner Keller.
