a recent bulletin of the United
States Census compares the mortality
OF 1880 AID that of 1900, and shows
that there has been a diminution Of
something like ten per cent. in the
death rate. In 1890 the average 1cnp-
evity in the United States was Al
years; in 1900 it is $50 years. Tho
increase is 13 per cent. This is the
conclusion, at least, so far as cities of
over 5000 Inhabitants are concerned
and 1t represents the facts for tho
whole country approximately. In
1884 245 persons died of consumption
in every 10000; in 1900 only 100. The
case is similar. though not SO marked
for other diseases-diphtheria bron-
chitls. typhoid, cholera infantum and
the like. The main causes are a per-
fected hygiene of towns and the pro-
gress Of medicine. Pneumonia, how
ever, claimed 1872 victims per 10000
in 1900 to 1S7 in 1890.

The report of a wreck at Apia is
nothing wonderful. The shore of Apia
has been crowded with wrecks, from
the Vandalia, Trenton and Olga to
hundreds Of schooners and small coast

it is only an open roadstead, and. in
certain quarters of the wind, a very
dangerous one. The only harbor in

Japan has. perhaps. the shortest Of
all national anthems. 1t is called
"Kimi Ga Yo,' from its first three
words, and consists OF thirty-two syl-
tables, which count in poetry, however,
as thirty -one. The exceeding brevity
is due to the national fondness for
conciseness of phrase and for economy
OF expression in all forms of art. The
patriotic song is what the Japanese
call q "tanka," or a verse of five lines,
the first and third being of five. and
the others of seven syIlables. Below
is given the anthem in Japanese, with
an English translation:
