Bovina, the Almost DeathIess.

The following newspaper clipping
gives an official list of all the deaths
in the town of Bovina, Delaware coun-
ty, New York, for the year 1902:
Date. Name. Age.
Jan. 1, James o. McCune. ........ rs
Jan. 81, Mary Russell. ........ IA

The town of Bovina is as remark
able in other matters as in the longev-
ity of it's inhabitants. Founded, not
like Rome, on seven hills, but upon
thirteen, it is especially adapted for
dairying purposes, and was selected
by the State D~airymen's Association
as the proper place to take a "cow
census" by which it appeared that the
average production of butter for the
whole town was PALS pounds per cow,
while in one herd of twelve cows
the average was 3C5 pounds.
A license to sell liquor has never
been granted in the town. The bill of
the town overseer of the poor for 1901
was $21; for 1900 was $3.50; for 1899
was Sc. 1t has only had n pauper
in the county house in forty years.
The tax rate for 1901 was $9.17 per
thousand dollars; for 1900 was $7.72;
for 1899 was $7.56. The total number
of inhabitants is 932. Next to Delhi,
the county seat, and acknowledged
garden spot of the world" where the
average age at death in 1902 was a
tri1e over 65, Bovina is truly an ideal
place in which to live, and a difficult
place to die.

Smallest Copy OF Lords Prayer.

Prof. Webb, of the Royal Micro
scopical Society, Of Great Britain, pos.
sesses the smallest copy of the Lords
Prayer in the world. 1t Is written
with diamond upon piece Of glass,
and only the finest microscopes manu-
featured can distinguish the characters
of the letters. The naked eye, even
when aided by an ordinary magnify
ing glass, would not be able to read It.
The Lords Prayer covers a space
measured by one flve-hundredth Of an
inch one way, and one six-hundred-
and-third part of an inch in another
direction. In other words, 1t" means
that with writing Of that size, 74,115,-
500 letters can be placed in single
square inch. The force Of this ID
easier comprehended when we remem'
Der that the Bible contains 1866, 4S0
letters, which means that the entire
Christian Scriptures can be written
legibly, twenty times repeated, within
the single space of a square inch
and have vacant space left.

For many generations ministers
sons have been treated unfairly. They
have been catalogued by themselves.
They have been regarded as a little
different from other boys. There Is
superstition that they ought to be bet
ter than other boys, mixed with con-
viction that they are not. This con-
viction not uncommonly goes so far as
to hold ministers sons to be just like
other boys, only worse. There Is no
gainsaying the fact that, particularly
In country towns, the preachers boy Is
constantly under gratuitous surveil-
lance and usually under suspicion. If
ripening watermelons have been plug
ged," an orchard has been robbed or
any other deviltry has been committed,
the one to whom the finger Of suspicion
points, as the needle to the magnet,
is the preachers boy. His reputation
has been fixed in tradition, song and
story, and it is bad. But he has been
done injustice. 1t Is not true that the
preachers boy Is worse than other
boys. The old superstition has no
foundation whatever In fact. The rec
ords are decidedly in the preachers
boys favor. Think for a moment Of
Emerson, whose ancestors had been
ministers for five generations. James
Russell Lowell got his training In a
minister's home. Oliver Wendell
Holmes learned to tune his Tyre in his
fathers parsonage. Henry Ward
Beecher sprang from the loins Of a
grand old minister Of brain and Drawn.
This is q good list Of preachers boys,
but 1t is by no means complete. Look
ing at the records Of literature in Eng
land you will find the same thing, only
more Of it. Addison, Thomson, Gold
smith, Coleridge, Cowper, Young,
Montgomery, Heber and Tennyson
were sons Of ministers. Turn to phi
losophy and you find the same story
Dugald Stewart, Reid, -Abercrombte
and Bentham were parsons sons. In
general literature are to be found mul
tltudes of preachers sons-Swtft, Ma
caulay, Thackeray, Kingsley and Mat
thew Arnold-at the head Of the list
OF the eminent men of the recent pas
or still living are these sons Of preach
ers: Lord Chas. Beresford, Lord Cur
zon, Cecil Rhodes, W. T. Stead, An
thony Hope, R. d. Blackmore, Henry
James, Marcus Dods and Grant Allen
Such names as these, supplemented al
they are by uncounted thousands les'
conspicuous but none the less useful
ought to be sufficient to rescue the rep
utation Of the preachers boy.

the world would go more heavily on tts
way were all me misconceptions and
false beliefs to be banlshed from it by
single edict. Who would be the first
to tell the plain girl that she has nelth-
er charm nor Beauty, and will never be
desired? Tie knowledge would be like
~ enough to paralyze her effort to be
good and amiaf5ie and useful, and the
mere stolid endurance that she might
call to her aid is poor substitute for
the more genial virtues. The ambitious
girl dreams of earning money for
college course. Who would take the
heart out OF her effort by telling her
thar she has ambition without ability,
and that she is better fitted for general
homework than for teaching Latin? 1t
may perhaps be that the very desire
for achievement leaves its benehcent
mark on human character. Who would
tell the self-sacrif1 cling mother that her
son Is not worth her trouble? Who
would tell the faithful teacher that the
student repays her devotion by care
less ridicule? Who would tell the min
lister that his parish Is ready to re-
ward his years Of service by rank in
gratitude2 In short, who would go
about this workaday world destroying
those illusions which irradiate life
with glory not the less lovely because
it is unreal? Like sunsets and rain
bows the gorgeous colors may them
selves be feeting and unreal, but as
reflections Of things that are real they
bring for the moment cheer and cour-
age. and these are well worth the keep

chief secretary for generations past"
And so it proved. Faced at last with
an immensely difficult and important
task, Balfour altered his habits com
pletely. There was no more lying abed
until noon, no more neglect of business,
no more scorn for petty details. He
rose with the lark even after a hard
nights session in the House Of Com
mons and worked hard all day and ev-
cry day at his Office. When he became
chief secretary he knew no more about
Irish affairs than the average man in
the street, but in less than month he
surprised the permanent officials by his
thorough knowledge of every branch
Of Irish government.
And as he worked and learned his
character and will grew stronger. The
lazy, vacillating philosopher who
couldn't make up his mind about any
thing became in a few short weeks the
stern administrator.
Strange to say, this man who has
risen to the top Of the tree in British
politics Is no lover of politics. He is a
politician, by family influence and
chance, not by choice The nephew of
Lord Salisbury, Arthur ]. Balfour was
born to the purple" and destined for
Parliament from his Elton days. But
his tastes are literary and academic
not political and practical. He cares
more for the hOnors which have been
showered upon him by all the British
universities in recognition of his
achievements in philosophy than he
does for his political fame.

chances Of doing anything remarkable.
He was clever enough, but he simply
couldn't take the trouble to work. 1t
seemed to be almost too much bother
to him to live. He seldom got out of
bed before the afternoon, and often he
would not go to his Office for three or
four days at time. Dispatches bored
him, Parliament was nuisance, and
the officials of his department tore
their hair over his neglect to keep ap-
pointments and sign important docu-
ments. They never expected him to
read them; If they could get him to
sign them a week late they thought
themselves lucky.

In an age Of superlatives, ''labor-
saving devices" tell only half the story.
"Life-saving" Is often the more accu-
rate term. A decade ago Congress de-
creed that all cars used in interstate
business should be provided with auto
matte couplers. That year over four
hundred men were killed, and more
than eleven thousand injured In cou-
pling cars by hand. Last year, de-
spite vastly increased numbers of en-
ployes, only one hundred and sixty
were killed and less than three thou
sand wounded. Automatic couplers
have passed the experimental stage of
"dollars on one hand and human lives
on the other" Dollars as well as hu.
man lives are saved by the change.
