DEATH RATE LESS.
City Have Been Reduced 40 Per
Cent. In Recent Years.

Since 1881 the death rate from pulmon-
airy tuberculosis in New York city has
fallen from AZ per 1000 to 2.29 per 1000,
q reduction Of more than 40 per cent.
This is set forth in circular of informa-
ton just issued regarding measures
adopted by the board of health for the
sanitary supervision of tuberculosis in
the city. Since the disease was recog-
nized as infectious the board registers
all cases of pulmonary tuberculosis at
the department of health.
The board also furnishes instructions
as to measures to prevent infection;
1isinfects or orders the renovation of
all premises which have been occupied
by persons suffering with the disease;
provides as far as possible for charitable
assistance and hospital care for cases
needing It; educates the general public
as to the nature of the disease, the pre-
cautions to be taken against it's spread,
and the advisability of institution and
sanitarium treatment. AS result Of
these and other similar measures a
great impression has been made in the
fight against the disease.

trembling and dripping steed, came
upon one side of this little open COM

him a carriage, toward which he
dashed. He flung open the carriage

cried Law, pushing his way directly

CHILD INITIATED A ROOSTER.
Unfortunate Waif Reared In Barn-
yard Performs Astonishing An
tics Which Attract Neiehbors.

An unparalleled case of neglect Of \
child with astonishing results has been
unfolded in the police courts of Sydney,
N. S. w.
Agnes Martin, a young domestic serv-
ant, gave birth about four years ago to
an illegitimate child, and afterward
could obtain no work.
Eventually home without wages was
offered for herself and her offspring,
the only condition being that, except
in very cold or wet weather, when the
child might come into the kitchen, it
was to be kept in the back yard.
The unfortunate waif was rNared
among the fowls, and acquired 20 many
OF their peculiarities that her antics at
last attracted the attention Of the neigh
pors, who communicated with the DO.
lice.
Senior Constable Brown stated in the
witness box that he found the child hat
less and bootless. She was scratching
In the earth with her foot or hand, roll
ing in the dust, Growing and Initiating
the fowls in every way. She could crawl
through small openings, and would fol-
low the fowls all round the yard
Constable Cruickshank described the
condition of the child when he saw her.
She cackled and crowed like the fowls
and finally strutted around the yard half
dozen times, each time crawling under
low bush that was in the yard. Then
she SPARED up to rooster. Just rs
another rooster would have done.
Margaret Johnston, nurse attached
to the benevolent asylum, to which the
child was taken by the police, said that
for two or three days after the child was
admitted to the institution she would
not speak, but would crow and cackle
and strut around the room like a ban
tam. When put to bed she would not
lie down like an ordinary child, but
perched herself on the end Of the cot
and wanted to roost there.

USE ALUMNI UNI COINS
How Business Men of Williams,
Iowa, Keep Trale at Home.
New Medium of Exchange Popular
Among Farmers of Vicinity De-
cause of Its Lightncss and IL
Used Almost Exclusively.

For several months past the coin OF
the Williams Exchange, Williams, Iowa,
used by the farmers of that section of
Hamilton county, has been passing cur
rent, and 1t is now in general use almost
to the exclusion Of dollars, half dol
!args, quarters, dimes and nickels. The
new currency is made of aluminium and
the coins are about the same size as
those used by Uncle Sam, but not nearly
so heavy. Farmers come to Williams
often with an overcoat pocket filed
with dollars, and the whole outlay Of
riches will not weigh as much as twenty
silver dollars.
The aluminium coin used by the farm
ers in and near Williams is now being
talked about, and inquiries are coming
from various sources as to the system
which is in vogue. The exchange has
without doubt received more free adj
vertising the past few weeks than any
other financial institution in the world
The advertising is worldwide, and let
tiers are being received almost every
day at the bank of Williams making in
uuiry about the aluminium coins, and
from collectors of coin all over the
world, offering large premiums for
specimens.
In fact, the Williams Exchange is not
very pretentious affair. 1t is intended
only for the use and accommodation of
the business houses of the town of Will
liams, in business deals with their Gus
toners.
The purpose of the exchange is to buy
butter. eggs and poultry, and when the
produce Is sold to the exchange the
farmer receives ticket for the amount
which may be exchanged for merchan-
disc at any of the Williams stores.
Farmers may receive any or all of their
payment in trade checks or coins, good
In trade only at any store in Williams.
lnasmuch as the trade checks pass for
money in any store in Williams, the
checks are looked upon by the farmers
the same as money and are exchanged
back and forth the same as money.
Small debts are often paid in trade
checks at no discount
The Williams bank is the only insti-
tuition in town where the fiat money is
not recognized. Bankers will not ac-
cept the coin.
The farmers like the Williams elias
tic currency plan because the Williams
exchange pays little higher price than
is paid for produce in surrounding
towns. Of course, this bigger price is
paid in aluminium coin, of which mer-
chants in other towns make all sorts of
sport, but so long as the Williams store
keepers sell as cheap as the store keep
ers in other towns, the farmers feel that
they are ahead.
1t has been a losing game for the
Williams exchange so far The ex-
change has lost money every day that
1t has been in business. But the mer-
chants who make up the company
claim to have increased business and to
make up on their business what they
lose as members of the exchange. In
the meantime the farmers, their wives
and daughters, the boys and hired men,
and even the older men, rattle their
aluminium coin and are happy.

made another, which he sold to the Ger,

When the German went out the nert
day he was Swallowed by two detectives.

oughfares men lounged furtively IN to
him and dropped something into his
pockets. Two were arrested and found
