A HEAVY DEATH RATE.
Figures Demonstrate That Madrfd
II the Most Unhealthy OF All
European Capitals.

Statistics recently published by the
municipality of Madrid indicate that
the Spanish capital possesses-one
cannot say .enjoys"-an evil pre-
eminence as the most unhealthy Of
European capitals. It's death rate
for the past five years has been about
80 per 1,000-much more than one
third higher than the average death
rate of London.
Consumption Is the chief cause of
death, which is not surprising, for
the keen, icy breeze from the Quad
arrama, which, as the Spaniards say,
will not put out candle, but will
kill a man." must be fatal to con-
sumptive patients.
The root of the mischief seems to
be food adulteration and overcrowd-
ing, for 100000 people are contained
in 1900 houses. That is a state of
things for which there is no excuse,
unless it be the eternal want Of
pence" for there is room enough
and to spare on the vast bare plain
which surrounds Madrid to build
Houses enough to accommodate any
number Of people. The municipality
Is going to take the matter in hand,
but experience teaches us what that
means in the land Of tomorrow

coLoRED ENVELOPES ARE BAD
Cause Much Trouble to Post once
Clerks Who Work In DimIy-
Lighted Apartments.

Colored envelopes used by some bust
ness houses in the dispatch of mail are
causing the post Offices and the rail
way mail clerks considerable annoy.
ance and trouble.
Addresses on them, unless written
with typewriter, are almost unde.
ciperable. When the fact is consid-
cred that most of the work in hand.
ling letters is done under gaslight and
on swaying mail cars, it will not seem
strange that clerks regard colored en-
velopes as a device designed for their
particular discomfort.
Red is the worst color in the spec
trum for envelope use. Blue is next.
Unless the address is written in the
blacklist of ink it appears as nothing
under the artificial light. Colors are
more endurable as they approach
white.
Many postmasters have had occa-
sion to make special suggestions to
firms that they print their envelopes
and wrappers on white paper.
Business houses which have adopted
one color and used it so long that 1t
is familiar trade mark dislike to
make the change, but they recognize
the justice of the request, in view Of
the fact that it will lighter the bur-
den of the clerks and assist in the
rapid and correct delivery of mail.
