Length of Life.

Even a chronic pessimist ought to
ind something to be cheerful about
in the recent census bulletin on the
mortality statistics of the United
States for the decade ending In 1900.
says Leslie's Weekly. The bulletin
shows that the advances made In med
ical science and sanitation and in
preventive and restrictive measures
enforced by the health authorities
have had a striking effect upon the COM
parative death rate for the cities Of
this country where a system of regis
tration Is In force.
In 1890 the death rate in 271 cities
Of 5000 or more population was 21
per 1000; In 1900 the rate was 1876
in 361 cities OF 5000 population and
upward-a reduction Of "a per 1000.
Another statement OF special interest
and significance just now is that the
deaths reported as due to consumption.
including general tuberculosis. de-
creased from 1853 per 100. 900 Of popu-
lation in 1890 to 1905 in 1904 very
large reduction, due, the census au-
thorities believe, to the better knowl-
edge Of the disease and the measures
adopted for its prevention.

WIFE DISCRETION A FELONY.
Husband Sentenced to Suffer . Penalty
Under . Minnesota Law.

Husband Sentenced to Suffer Q Psnalty
Under q Minnesota Law.
To George A. Kenney belongs the
distinction OF being the first man con-
Ucted in Minneapolis under the new
law treating abandonment OF or failure
to support wife as a felony. The
court was lenient with him and gave
him the lowest penalty-only ninety
days In the workhouse- of the
limit of three years in the peniten-
tiary. Mr.. kenney's bad eminence
should be a warning to other men.
says the Minneapolis Tribune, who are
inclined to neglect. evade or shirk
their duty to their families.
The Minnesota law is a new depart
ure In sociology. Heretofore such Of
lenses have been treated as misde-
meanors. The delinquent husband
could be fined-in which case the wife
usually hustled around and raised the
money to pay-or compelled to give
bonds for good behavior or sent to
Jail in default of security. But now
he is confronted by hard-labor
proposition. II his failure to support
his family arises from laziness he finds
that he has Jumped out Of the fry
ing pan into the fire." in being COM
PEELED to work for the state under
more disagreeable conditions than free
labor could possibly involve. II he
has means or property he would natur-
ally prefer to draw upon his resources
rather than incur penal sentence. It
is not to be presumed that the average
man will sin more than once In this
direction II the law is vigorously en-
forced against him. II he can show
that he has done the best he can and
that his failure to support his family
arises from inability to find employ
ment. that is, of course. a good de-
tense. This law gives the wife bet
tor chance than she had before She
can insist that her husband perform
his whole duty as the family provider
and II he willfully refuses or neg
lects to do so. she can have him "sent
up" and SO get rid Of him. Its enact
ment Is an important step in the d.
rection Of the practical accomplish
ment Of women's rights.

Etiquette of
Flag Signals

What is the origin of the custom OF
displaying flags at half-stafi, or, as
people usually say. half-mast?"
This question. when 1t was put to
me the other day, appeared to have
an easy answer: 1T is borrowed from
the navy. The ensign or pennant at
half-mast is recognized sign of
mourning"
"Yes; but was 1t at first a ships
signal Of distress, as some say-even
some Of the good dictionaries?"
have heard that In the seventeenth
century 1t was SO employed by the
Spaniards; but. at any rate. toward
tho end of the eighteenth century the
signal Of distress recognized by
French and English sailors was DIFF
ferent affair, as the following story
shows:
Ammo 17s3-The French ship Sybille,
= powerful 3s-gun frigate. is sighted
of Cape Henry by the Hussar, OF 28
guns. Now, the Sybille few days be-
fore in a drawn fight with one Of the
ships Of the English fleet to which the
Hussar belongs, sustained such injur-
les that she has subsequently been dis
masted in a puff Of wind and is under
Jury masts. AS she Is therefore un-
able to chase the Hussar. she seeks to
entice her alongside, in order to take
her by boarding. and accordingly she
hoists to the peak the French ensign
under the English. as If admitting that
she is captured. All this is legitimate.
whether the Hussar takes the bait or
no. But the French captain goes too
far. He hoists in the main shrouds an
ensign reversed and tied in welt or
loop. Now, this being well known
signal Of distress-an appeal to COM
mon humanity which no generous OH
Ger could disregard-the Hussar at
once closes. Fortunately. however.
her crew are at quarters when the sy-
billie. hauling down the English nag
at the peak and hoisting the French
above, endeavors to run her on board.
