TIE IRUsr oUEsrIoN.

Awhile ago the trust question was most portentous. It is still portentous, but it has changed. Now the trust question is. What trust will bust next? The salt trust is one of the lat est to go. When it swelled up it had an alleged capital of twelve million dol- lars. When it collapsed it had thirty seven thousand five hundred dollars. And there are many others. During the last ten months no less than forty-four trusts with New Jersey charters have been placed in the hands of receivers: and though they had an aggregate 'authorized' capital of over eighty mil lion dollars and had contrived to get trusted for more than seventeen and a quarter millions. diligent search has so far been able to discover among them all scarcely more than a million and a half of assets.
 One by one the roses fall. It is going to be hard winter for many who thought they had provided for a long succession of soft winters.

LITE IN CHICAGO.

By and by Chicago will be advertising immortality as one of it's attractions. According to bulletin of the city health department the death rate in Chicago hes been decreasing at a re- markable rate during the past twelve years. Among infants less than year of age it has decreased more than 60 per cent. since 1891. During the same .eriod there has been a decrease of 39 per cent. in the death rate of persons of all ages. Whereas in 1891 the infant death rate was 7.0S for 1000 of popula- tion, in 1902 it was but 2.S2 for 1000 pop ulation. That Chicago is exceptionally favored in this regard is shown by the fact that in the same period the reduc- tion in the death rate among infants in New York city was but 34.7 per cent.
 The reasons which the health de- pertinent assigns for the decline in the infant mortality rate are interesting and instructive. Much of the decrease in the, mortality among babies is at- tributed to an improved milk supply, the result of this improvement showing itself clearly in the reduced mortality during the summer months, when in- fant life most readily succumbs to the attacks of disease. Better methods of treating children's ailments are now employed and more attention is paid to scientific sanitation. Last but not least, the health officials believe that much of the saving of child life is attributable to various organizations and move ments which lay especial stress upon the proper care of infants and in so do- ing are steadily conducting an educa- tional campaign of great value.
 There may be objections to living forever in Chicago, but there are cities in which one would like to be immortal. New Haven, for instance. Why can't our health authorities learn from Chica- go how to cut the death rate down until there is none?

CUBAN REOIPRooITY.

Because Cuba is doing pretty well those who are opposed to reciprocity" are arguing that she doesn't need it. But they omit to mention that the United States needs it. Our exporta- tions to Cuba last year were less than in 1899. They were $29,OOO,OOO in 1899, as against only s26,OOO,000 in 1902. In the meantime Germany has increased her expectations to Cuba from $2,0O0, ,0GO in 1899 to $S,6OO,000 in 1902. England can also show an increase in her ex- portations to Cuba, as we'll as France. The expectations of Spain to Cuba have fallen off since 1899 only $1.O00,0OO the figures for 1899 being $11, 100000 and for 1902 s10,0oO,O0O.
 So reciprocity shouldn't be looked on as matter of charity to Cuba. As things go now, we are buying the most of Cuba's sugar and tobacco, but are selling her less than half of her articles of import. Since 1900 the island has in- creased it's trade by something like 5,0OOO00, and yet our own trade with the Cubans has fallen off $3,OOO,OOO. It is obvious that we are getting the worst of commerce in which we buy more than twice as much as we sell. There is no possible way in which we can equalize this traffic except by in- creasing our sales, for we must go on buying more and more of Cuba's prin- eipal products. It is evident that reci- procity will help us even if the Cubans don't need it as much as they did.

The Author,. Dilemma.

Through weary years and dreary years He wrote and wrote and wrote; His trousers bagged around the knees
 And gloss was on his coat. They sent his foolish stories back,
 He filed them all away, And scribbled on and worried on,
 And hit it right one day. He wrote a tale, thrilling tale,
 That had . wreath of wit, And he that had been down so long
 Was lifted high by 1t. His name became q household word,
 They made him rich and glad; RenOwn was his, success was his,
 He had become fad. They praised his work, they erayed his
 work;
 The publishers no more Declined with thanks the stuff he wrote, As they had done before. They hung around him eagerly,
 And forth from dusty hooks He brought old tales, his dull old tales, And they were put in books. A carping few, a precious few,
 In sober sadness read: ''He must have done his one good thing By accident" they said. The others, eager to be pleased, Cast all their cares aside, And read the rot, the rot, the dreary rot, And laughted until they cried. Now who shall tell and wisely tell The author what to do? Oh, should he rob the multitude To please a carning few! -.-. . Should pleasure be withheld that aims The glory which is arts? Should men be fooled when being fooled Brings gladneSs to their hearts!

A Vienna journal prints few extracts from advance sheets, among other things his com- ments on the actress Fanny Janau- schek, whose impoverished old age leads him to reflect on the strange fact that great souls so often are not equal to the practical requisites of life. He first met her, on the top of the igi, when she was thirty-three years old-- in the prime of that beauty which caus- ed the city of Frankfurt to use her pro- file on it's thaler coins. She told him much about King Ludwig II. of Bava- ria, whose blue eyes and dark locks and Adonis figure made deep impress sion on her. Every day, she said, he plucked hyacinth for her. Her eyes shone with pleasure when she related her triumphs in 'Iphigenia," ''Medea,'' stAntigone' and "Phaedra."

THE PIERSON CASE AGAIN.

About three years ago J. Luther Pier son, a resident of White Plains, New York. was fined $500, with the alterna- tive of 800 days in. jail, for criminal neg Iect. He had refused to furnish medical attendance in the case of his infant child. who was gravely ill with pneu- monia. He did not believe in doctors. He trusted entirely to the efficacy of prayer. The child died. Pierson was prosecuted under that section of the penal code which says that charge of criminal neglect may be sustained against any person ''who omits without lawful excuse to perform duty by law imposed upon him, to furnish food, clothing. shelter or medical attendance to a minor" The jury returned a ver- dict of guilty. This verdict was revers- ed by the Appellate Division, which stretched the term "nedical attend ance" to cover more than the framers of the statute intended that it should. In other words, the Appellate Division held as guiltless those parents who per- init sick children to battle against dis ease unaided by the resources of medi-

The Russianization of Finland goes steadily on. One of the latest develop ments in the process is an imperial or- der which reached the governor-general 8 few days ago, bidding him consider the situation and determine, between now and next June. whether there is any particular reason for summoning the Ordinary Diet of the country in 1904 General Bobrikoff, without doubt, will be able to make up his mind on this point without much difficulty. For fear he should misunderstood the motive of the order, he is instructed to guide him. self by the principle that it. would be inexpedient to call any meeting of the Diet So long as there are any remaining signs of excitement in the public mind, In other words, when the Finlanders no longer have any objections to utter against Russian rule they may be per- mitted to meet and enjoy an exchange

A new wrinkle in swindling is report ed from France. Relatives of a deceas- ed husband or father would receive, shortly after his death, notice, from what purported to be an insurance company, that there was a premium due on policy of the deceased, and re- questing prompt payment. The rela- lives had no knowledge, of course, that the deceased had any policy in the com- pany. but the money was forwarded at once through fear that the policy would lapse. And that was the last heard of the matter.
