DECREASING RAPIDLY.
Birth Rate of the Bay State Has Fallen
or Very Nosiceably In the
Last Few Years.

Massachusetts is facing the alarming
fact that while there was a big increase
in the number of marriages in 1902, the
birth rate has fallen of so noticeably
that Sweden and France are now the
only countries where fewer children are
born per 1000 of the inhabitants than
in the Bay state. The news is found in
the sixty-frst annual report of Births,
Marriages and Deaths in Massachu-
setts," edited by Dr. Francis A. Harris,
one of the medical examiners in Suffolk
county. DR.. Harris says:
THE birth rate for 1902 is the lowest
since 1879. and decrease of 40 per cent.
from the previous year. Doubtless eco
nomic conditions of the population have
an influential effect on the number of
births by increasing or decreasing the
number of marriages. but to what extent
it is difficult to determine. In the num-
Der of births the children of the for
eign born mother are largely in excess
over the native.
The average birth rate for 1S49-5S
was $3.50 per cent. for native-born liv-
ing births and 1904 for foreign; the av-
erage of 1S59-69, the native, 46.O6 and
1853 foreign; the average of IS69-73
was 1854 for the native and 4S.4S for
foreign; 1S74-7S. average 4O.52 for ma
tive and $3.50 for foreign; average 1879
SO, 41.6S for native and 4l.32 for foreign.
In 1890 the percentage of native born
was 34.S2. foreign-born, 44.10; and in
1900 the percentage was BIAS for native,
1880 for foreign-born.
THE number of marriages registered
in Massachusetts, in 1902 was 25.6S5.
which was 794 more than in 1901 and
1,343 more than in 1900, and greater
than in any year since the beginning Of
registration. The number of persons
married for each 1000 of the estimated
population was 17.4S, so that the num-
Der of marriages to each 1000 was s. IA.
The marriage rate, as calculated from
the estimated population, was OIL less
than the average rate for the decade
lS93-1903, but the number of persons
married was greater than in any year
since 1885,"
Some singular facts are brought out
In the report. In the town of New Ash
field there was neither marriage, birth
nor death. Gosnold, a Martha's Vineyard
town, nearly equaled this record, having
neither a marriage nor death, but it
did have one birth. In Gay Head there
was one marriage, one birth and no
deaths. Seven sets of triplets were
born. aggregating IA boys and seven
girls. Four bridegrooms out of the 25,-
6S5 married over so years of age Three
women became brides at between Is and
80. Seven girls married at the age OF
IA and % at the age of Is. The young
est boy married was 16 years old.

seventh floor, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph.
Filling up his old briar and getting it
in working order, he continued, as he
struck match: NO, sir, it never pays
to be cheap. Now, here's friend of
mine, a Waterman in the building, who
illustrates the point to big Y. Billie
is his name, and he decided to get mar
ried just short time ago.
He led his lady up to the altar, and
they were duly made man and wife by
the minister. Well, sir, they went down
the aisle arm in arm, Billie quite for
getting to pay the minister his little
recompense This was all o. X. from
Billie's viewpoint, and he had in mind
applying the S. or SO that usually goes
to the man Of the Word to the expenses
of the honeymoon The minister didn't
say a word, but on BilIie's return a spe-
cial assessment was levied on him for
pew rent The assessment was to the
tune of SIS. and as nobody else was on
the game Billie had funny thoughts. He
is sorry now that he didn't cough up to
the parson. No, SIR" repeated the

solved the mystery by ascertaining that
the minister of finance had resorted ia
the simple expedient of ntercepting the
first proceeds of the sheep tax, which i,

matters. On discovering how the af.

SHOP BY TELEPHONE.
Advertisements i'm Newspapers Fun
nish Buyers with Prices and Other
Information.

Business by telephone is now more of
an item in all the great department
stores and dry goods houses and, in fact,
in all lines of trade, than the small or
der business. Especially at the holiday
season the telephone is as much an in
dispensable adjunct in the placing of
orders as is the salesman. Many are the
people, men as well as women, who do
not care to engage in the jostle and
hustle of the crowds during the holidays,
who prefer to do their transactions over
the telephone.
This does not apply to the very rich
alone. People of the most modest for
tune who have a telephone in their
homes send in their orders in preference
to making personal calls At this time
the suburban district telephone ex-
changes reveal an enormous number
of calls with the leading retail houses
of the city.
Every big dry goods house to-day is
obliged to have its own private house
exchange in order that the customer
many miles away may be put in direct
communication with the buyer in any
particular line of goods or with the clerk
at any counter so that there may be the
most explicit directions as to any pur-
chase, avoiding annoyances both to the
house and to the customer.
The use of the telephone in this way
shows how newspaper advertising is
bringing more business all the time to
retail stores. Of course. the people
who send in their orders do so because
they have seen in their newspapers ad-
vertising columns mention of this or
that bargain. They do not need to go
to the store to look over the counters
or in the shop windows. By reading the
advertising columns the customer knows
what to buy and where to order it.

TUBERCULOSIS IN HENS.
Fowls On California Ranches Report
ed to be Afflicted with Lung
Disease.

Now that his experiments with dis
eased fowls in California have demon
strated the fact that tuberculosis 10 one
of the most widely prevalent diseases in
the poultry ranches of the state, DR..
Archibald r. Ward, veterinarian of the
University Of California agriculture de-
part. is pursuing investigations to dis
cover whether there is any relationship
between this and bovine or human tuber-
culosis, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle. Furthermore, the consideration of
the possible significance of fowl tuber-
'culosis has awakened the desire to know
whether or not the deadly organisms are
present in the egg. Both these points are
vitally important. and the animal indus
tries department in conjunction with the
recently established poultry experiment
station, will make careful study of the
cases that are brought to the r attention.
DR.. Ward. although just commenced
on these investigations, has this to say
on the second point: 1T appears to be
true that hens badly infected do not lay.
In the 80 post-mortems of tuberculosis
lens that have come under the writer's
observation but one hen contained an
egg. The thorough cooking to which
poultry is subjected renders rather re-
mote the possible danger of human in
lection by ingestion. Careful observa-
ton to determine If newly hctched
chicks suffer from tuberculosis will
throw light on the question of tubercle
bacilli in eggs"
Owing to the fact that tuberculosis
in fowls seldom kills sufficient number
of birds at one time to excite fear. its
existence in flock has come to be re-
garded as matter of course and has at
tracted little attention from the owners.
Under the conditions obtaining in the
poultry industry in California, DR.. Ward
says that all the individuals Of an in
fected flock must be regarded as possible
sources Of danger of healthy birds. TAX
ing advantage of the experience in the
control of tuberculosis in cattle, he says
that 1t will be easy to raise flock Of
healthy chickens, provided they are
kept constantly from contact with dis
eased birds or from land recently con-
taminated with tuberculous fowls. Since
the life of fowl is so short, he predicts
that such procedure would result in the
eradication of the disease in three or
four years.

There are many queries as TO the
proper pronunciation of Cadiz. If you
are talking with an American, just
plain 'Cadiz" is good enough, to rhyme

Spaniard will understand you better II
you pronounce il Cahtheeth, giving the
