HUMAN LIFE GROWING LONGER
An Enormous Factor in WeaIth--
Producing Conditions.

In 1890 the death rate in 271 cities OF
5000 or more population was q per 1000;
in 1900 the rate was 1876 in s61 cities OF
5000 population and upward. a reduction
of "a per 1000. Another statement of
special interest and significance just now,
says .'Leslie's Weekly is that deaths
reported as due to consumption, including
general tuberculosis, decreased from
1853 per 100000 of population in 1890 to
1905 in 1900. very large reduction. due,
the census authorities believe. to the bet

measures adopted for its prevention.
To add nearly two years to the aver
age of human existence is wonderful
achievement Its full significance it Is

a total of lac, ,00e. 900 added years of hu-

stupendous total divided by the years OF
the average human life, with the recent
increase included, means practically the
same as an increase of 100000 to the
healthy adult population of the nation.
Regarded from the standpoint of the
economist, it means also an enormous in

HOW SHE'S INJURED
Doctors Say Only Post Norton
Can Tell.

In the suit of Mrs Jane Dusenbury
against the North Hudson County Rail
way Company, which is on trial for
second time before Judge Nevius and a
jury in the Circuit Court today, novel
point of law is presented. The first trial
resulted in the direction of verdict for
the defendant by the court. This was
taken up on appeal and the verdict set
aside.
The plaintiff, who is sixty-eight years
old, asks $4,000 damages for injuries al
legged to have been received in an accident
that occurred on Pavonia avenue in NO
vember, 1898. From the evidence adduced
at the trial it appears that large stone
was on the track hidden by the snow.
When the wheel struck the stone the
stove in the car upset and Mrs. Dusen-
bury's clothing, she claims, was burned.
She has since suffered from confusion OF
the spine.
The case presents the usual contradic-
tory expert medical testimony, the ply
sicians produced by the. plaintiff contend
ing that the exact nature of Mrs. Dusen-
bury's injuries could only be ascertained
by post morten examination. DR.. VIM.
r. Fisher, for the defence, testified that
1t would have been impossible for Mrs
Dusenbury to have walked to the ferry
and then taken journey of one hundred
miles il she had been injured as claimed
by the physicians for the plaintiff. He
insisted that she was suffering from
neuristhema brought on by declining
years.
The defense contends that three separ-
ate lines of cars run over the point where
the accident occurred and that twenty
cars pass there every hour. The car
which preceded the one on which Mrs.
Dusenbury rode passed but minute be-
fore They disclaimed liability for the
accident on the grounds that the stone
may have been placed there by some per-
son maliciously inclined. 1t was shown
that Contractor Henry Byrnes was cart
ing paving stones in the neighborhood at
the time and the stone that caused the
accident might have been dropped from
one of his carts
Ex-senator Edwards, who represents
the defense, contends that the rule is, as
applied to street railroads, that where
others have access to the street besides
the company's cars there can be no tres
pass as in the case of steam railroads and
that the company is not in duty bound
to keep the tracks clear of distractions.
Counselor Thomas McBurney represents
the plaintiff and Lawyer Howard Grif-
fiths is associated with Senator Edwards
for the defense

Dairy Yields.

Most farmers especially in the West,
are quite skeptical as to the yields OBJ
tanned from herds of dairy COVE. Get
ting themselves an average yield of
about 1876 to $50 pounds, they are
disposed to shake their heads when told
that other farmers obtain yields of
/ rom 200 to 300 pounds, and over. We
note in recent issue of Hoard's Dairy
man an investigation of creamery
patrons in Ohio. One herd of 81 regis
tered Jerseys fed on ensilage, ground
corn, oats. and oil meal, and kept under
the very best conditions, give an
average yield of 1865 pounds. Another
of 20 registered Jerseys, fed similarly,
gave yield of 1854 pounds; another of
IL cows, half registered Holsteina, gave
a yield of 255.a pounds; another Of
grade Holsteins and Jerseys a yield of
2342; another of 20, three Holsteins and
II grade Jerseys. yield of q:
another with 8 COWS, grade Shorthorns
and grade Jerseys, yield of 217;
another of registered Jerseys, 1856; still
another of grade Jerseys, 277.2; and
still another of grade Jerseys and
natives yield of 222 pounds. The net
profit per COW from these ten patrons
runs from $14.9o to s27 "a per head.
