The HeaIthIest City.


Paul, yesterday received from Paris
bronze medal giving St. Paul first
place in the hygienic and public
health competition, the findings being
those of the directorate of the Paris
exposition.
The medal is circular disk of
bronze, two inches across it's face,
bearing on one side the coat of arms
of the French republic and on the
other the exposition design and words
"Grand Prix''
The statistics for this competition
were prepared by DR.. Ohage two years
ago and taken from the public rec
ords. They included the population,
mortality, drawings of the sewerage
system, waterworks, pictures of the
public baths and statistical Informal
ton generally pertaining to St. Paul's
health as community.
Nearly every city and community in
the new and old world was represent
ed in this competition, and the award
ing of the grand prix'' to St. Paul
is an honor the health department is
proud of. The award was made on
the health of St. Paul as statistically
recorded two years ago.
Since that time the population has
increased and the death rate is even
lower per thousand.
@ Fish Spawn.
Senator W. W.. Dunn, of St. Paul,
says that nearly forty times as many
fish spawn can be produced at the fish
hatchery than at present without any
additional cost of maintenance, if the
facilities for Matching are provided
-. ko L.
while Wisconsin, with half as many
lakes, has two up-to-date hatcheries,
Minnesota, with more lakes than any
state in the union, has only one
hatchery. Money is now available for
the purchase of tract of land adjoin-
ing the hatchery, with a spring dis
charging as much water as the spring
which now furnishes all the water
used at the hatchery.
What is needed most now, says Ex-
ecutive Agent S. F. Fullerton, is an
appropriation for building pools and
houses to utilize the water of the
| spring on the land to be acquired, the
rebuilding of the old plank fish pools
and the erection of much larger
hatching-houses.

why Men Don't GO to church.

The Rev. Eric NJ. Farrar. st. John
vicarage. Hoxton. son Of the late dean
of Canterbury. says the London EX-
press. has collected the reasons given
to him by many wOrkingmen for non
attendance at church:
First Because of their love Of home.
Sunday being the only day when many
Of them see their children awake
SecOnd.-Because they often have no
Sunday clothes. (Mem.-I have often
considered the fashion OF Sunday
clothes a device OF the devil)
Third.-Because there is so little vel
come extended to the stranger entering
church.
Fourth.-Because sermons so seldom
touch on the subjects men are most In
terested in.
Fifth.-Because Sunday is the only
day for recreation and social inter
course.
Sixth.-Because they are teased If
they go by their comrades.
Seventh.-Because they have to stay
at home to mind house and children II
the wife goes.
Eighth.-Because they had too much
Of it as children.
Ninth.-Because they love the things
temporal more than the things eternal.

Chinese chnrch Choir.

San Francisco has a real Chinese
choir. 1t is a church choir. complete
in all its parts. and composed Of young
Chinese vOcalists. who are accom-
panied on the organ by a Chinese or
ganist. 1t sings to a purely Chinese
congregation composed Of men. women
and children.
1t was in 1886 that a Chinese branch
Of the Presbyterian church was formed
in San Francisco. 1t was found ex-
tremely hard to bring the men and
women together for worship. There
was a religious and social chasm that
the men shrunk from crossing. But
concessions were made, and the women
were allowed to worship behind
screens and curtains. Prejudices were
lost as time wore on. and in 1870
curtains and screens begun to be low
cred and finally to disappear. But the
men kept to one side Of the church
and the women to the other. But the
choir marks one of the most positive
advances, for In It young men and
young women stand side By side and
their voices blend sweetly, rhythmic
ally and devotionally IN hymns nf
