the death rate in the Bronx regularly
exceeds that of the more crowded and
less salubrious Borough Of Manhattan.
In view of this it would not be fair to
omit the explanation. which is duly
made, that the cause of the seeming in-
eongruity is the presence in the Bronx
of institutions. such as hospitals for
consumptives and homes for incurables.
almost entirely devoted to residents Of
Manhattan. In this connection DR..
Wachenheim says: THE census reports
for 1900 state the death rate for New
York at 2o.4 per 1000, and that Of Chi
cago at 1872 per 1000; a ratio Of 1.26 to
100 in favor of the latter. 1t would be
rash to conclude from these figures that
sanitary conditions are 26 per cent.
worse in New York than in Chicago.
We must not overlook the fact that the
newer cities of the West are composed
of a picked population as regards both
age and general vigor."
Particular fault is found with the
census tables purporting to show a
great increase in the number of deaths
from cancer, 80 per cent. in 1900 over
the rate in 1890. Part of this apparent
increase is disposed of by showing that
the relative number of persons over
forty-five, the age most subject to can
Ger, has increased 81 per cent. during
the decade, reducing the apparent in
crease in cancer, after allowing for the
natural growth, to 245 per cent. The
conclusion reached is that the whole
series of census mortality tables is
merely plausible.
Quite likely. There are few things
just right in this world, and the more
anybody knows the less he knows.

Judge Parker said: IT shall not be a
candidate for. nor shall accept a re-
nomination. This seems to be definite
and SO definite that it would be awk-
ward if Judge Parker should ever be
In position to want a denomination.
And yet there are doubling Thomases
who say that Judge Parker could
change his mind. They point, in sup
port OF their notion. to what Grover
Cleveland said and did. August u.s.,
1884, Cleveland wrote a letter accepting
the nomination of the presidency in
which he said: "And of the means to
this end, not one would. in my judg-
ment, be more effective than an amend
ment to the Constitution disqualifying
the President for reelection, When we
consider the patronage of this great Of
flee, the allurements of power, the
temptation to retain public places once
gained, and, more than all, the avail
ability a party finds in an incumbent
whom a horde OF off1ceholders, with a
zeal born Of benefits received and fos-
tered by the hope of favors yet to
come, stands ready to aid with money
and trained political service, we recog-
nize in the eligibility Of the President
for reelection most serious danger
to that calm, deliberate and intelligent
political action which must character
lie a government by the people" Yet
Cleveland was for two terms President
of the United States, was candidate
another time, and was talked of for
"a fourth nomination without appearing
to be greatly shocked and panied by
the talk.
OF course Judge Parker is more def
Unite, than Cleveland was, but they
both got hold of the same idea about
the danger of President being eligl-
BILE for denomination. Perhaps il was
not fair to Cleveland for anybody to
think that he might change his mind
about this matter, and it certainly
isn't fair to Judge Parker to think that
he might. Especially as it doesn't seem
probable that he will have chance to
do 1t.

FL ULTY FIG UR rs,

Figures cannot lie, but they can be SO
arranged as to convey erroneous inn
pressions. F. L. Wachenheim has some
thing interesting to say in the Medical
Record concerning vital statistics. De-
claring that the basis of all accurate
vital statistics must be an accurate es-
innate of the total population, the doc
tor pointedly remarks that Sin the
United States the decennia1 enumera-
ton is rarely made with anything ap-
preaching true correctness; repeatedly,
as in 1870 and 1890, the government ta-
bles have been thoroughly vitiated by
gross negligence on the one hand and
positive fraud on the other" He also
says that the census reports and other
reports do not take proper account Of
relative conditions. Reports of the New
York Department of Health show that

THE DEPARTURE OF ISAAC.


Readers of this series may possibly
remember Isaac" the young turkey
vulture which brought from the south
about year ago, and which weathered
the winter at my former home in Mas
sachusetts. When I was about to move
to Newport, New Hampshire, decided
to liherate a number Of the animals
which / had in captivity, and whose be-
havior / did not intend to study any.
further. Isaac was one of these, but as
knew that he was tame enough to
become a victim of the first gunner who
chose to slaughter him, thought
would take him with me to a wilder
country, where his chance for life
would be better So Grated him and
sent him along by express. Now, Isaac
was never very goodnatpred bird I'M
der any circumstances, and moving by
express was an institution which did
not meet with his approval in the least
degree. The local expressman under
stood this when he felt his hand pipped
as by a pair of pincers and looked
down to see Isaac's bill gripping him
through the bars Of the crate. With
eyes flashing angrily, the buZzard
twisted his head from side to side, in
an endeavor to bite out the piece, and
!, the man dropped the crate and sucked
his hand while the crate and its con-
tents turned several kinds of somer-
saults down long rocky HILL The
man did, not say God bless you." and
he didn't mean to, but, still sucking
one hand and picking up the crate
with the other. he kept a bright look
out until he had Isaac safe on the ex-
press wagon which was waiting at the
bottom of the HILL
The animal went on the same train as
did, and half an hour out of Boston 1
walked into the baggage-car to see
that they were getting plenty Of air.
A burst of laughter greeted me, as I
opened the door, and saw group of
| trainmen STOPPING down in front of one
of the crates. They seemed to be play
ing some amusing game, so ] walked up
to see what it was. 1t was Isaao's
crate, and Isaac's head was sticking
through the bars. One of the men put
out his hand, and, as the vulture made
snap at 1t, he deity caught the birds
bill in his fingers and gave it little
shake. Then another man tried it, but
| this fellow was not so successful, for
Isaac caught. him by the first finger,
and, with a quick turn of the head,
twisted off piece of the skin. Howls
of laughter greeted this failure, and
then it was some one else's turn. No
one was hurting the bird, and as the
latter seemed to be having more than
his share of the fun, let the game 60
on until the men got tired of it and
went away, most Of them nursing at
least one finger which had been in
iured in the contest
After his arrival here Isaac was kept
tethered by a strong string to perch
on the edge of some woods. near the
house. and after he had become some
what used to the place took the strap
from his leg and away he flew. He
sailed around for few minutes, and
then, dropping down, alighted on our
barn, where he preened his feathers as
calmly as though it were nothing new
for him to be at liberty. Then off he

An English court has just made an in
teresting decision. A waitress broke a
very expensive plate, worth about SIS,
and an attempt was made by the en-
,ployer to withhold wages for the break
age. The maid brought suit to get her
money, and the mistress, in defence,
claimed that, by the terms of the en-
gagement,, the maid was to be, respon-
,sible for breakage. This contract was
ruled out OF court as manifestly unjust.
The mistress insisted upon using these
costly plates, and forced the maid to
handle them in the course of her. du-
ties. This handling, provided reason
able care was used, must be at the en-
ployer's risk; certainly full value could
not be claimed. 1t was suggested in
the course of the trial that a fair per-
cent Of the loss, perhaps 10 per cent,
might fall upon the employee.

WOMEN MISSIONARIES.
They Are the Most Persistent and the
 Most Faithful in Any Field.

AhCy AIc tnC NAObS xCESIbtouU uuu tu0
 Most Faithful in Any Field.
 The disturbances In the east are not held to be sufficiently serious to call home our missionaries who have sta tions in Japan or in China, near the Russian frontier. The women, mar ried and unmarried, absolutely refuse to leave their work and the men, who are in the minority, naturally remain with them. Our missionary societies cannot explain satisfactorily, even to themselves, why they send more young women than young men to con- vert the heather people and lesser breeds without the law. It Is not officially stated that the women are more successful than men, but they predominate, almost exceeding the men in number two-fold.
 In the Orient, including Japan and China, our missionary delegation is as follows: Japan, men, %; married wo- men, 21; unmarried women, %. China, men, 25; married women, 32; unmar- ried women, 30. With little protection, none save that of their sex and the few men in their colony, the women missionaries are the most persistent in any field and the most faithful. They are last to leave in time of danger and they are so thoroughly absorbed in their work that they oftentimes pre- fer death in the cause of religion to I,n nt,1a mi nf tho which has called them forth from home com forts In their native land. Most of them are college girls, who, with every chance for advancement in the place of their birth, have taken up the con version of savage people with zeal which makes religious devotion unsur- passed.
 In such crises as the present be- tween Russia and Japan, missionaries, women and men, are a mighty factor for peace. They wield tremendous influence over an uncivilized people. And when this influence Is submitted to the test, the missionary always tries to employ 1t in Christian way In Russia, north or south, east or west, no missionary is allowed, but at the present time, when Japan is eager to try conclusions with the great northern empire, 1t is only the mis- sionary spirit which can prevent an- other great war. If hostllities are averted 1t will be the Mikado and his ministers who will receive the credit the Christian missionaries in the back ground will know that 1t Is they who have wrought to prevent the shedding of blood.
