CONSUMPTION statiatica-

General statements as TO the prog
ress made in checking the ravsges OF
consumption are always interesting,
but II is much better 70 have specific
statistical information Upon the sub
ject. Vital statistics have been taken
In Massachusetts, since 1S42. In all
the years before 1857 the annual death
rate from consumption was nearly or
quite 1000 to 100000 inhabitants.
The rate has declined almost stead
fly ever since. Il was about 1900 70
1.OOO, 900 in 1882, less than $500 in
1892, and less than 1000 In 1902-the
lowest point reached up to that tine.
Corresponding figures for England
show a similar decrease. The system
Of keeping vital statistics has not been
general enough to make sure that al
the states can present IS good a rec
ord Of progress as Massachusetts,, bus
all the facts that are available are en-
eouraging.

pYsPEPsIA LION RAp III
Bicarbonats Of Soda in Solution Rec
commended as q Good
Mouth Wash.

The close connection between de-
eayed teeth and diseases Of the 6iges-
ton Is pointed out by a medical writer.
The presence Of free acids in the
mouth is particularly harmful. These
may come from various sources, but
most commonly from the acid fermen-
tation Of the carbohydrate food
lodged on or between the teeth at the
gums. and due to the action Of mieO-
organisms present In the mouth.
Normally the saliva Is alkaline, and
any acids produced in the ereviees Of
the teeth are thus neutralized
and decay prevented. There are
two conditions under which the saliva
is unable 70 ne1tralize the acids pro
dueed locaIly-namely: First, when It
Is deficient In alkalinity. and, second,
when Il Is deficient in quantity. As to
the former, It Is well known that the
saliva becomes less alkaline or even
acid IN any condition Of prolonged
gastric digestion, a phenomenon which
occurs IN nearly all cases Of dyspepsia
Moreover, the teeth when decayed
further tend to keep up the state of
chronic dyspepsia BY rendering masti-
cation imperfect A vicious circle is
thus established. To obviate this form
Of dental disease the teeth should be
washed frequently with a solution Of
which one Of the ingredients is bicar-
Donate Of soda. This may prevent one
Of the mouth disagreeable results Of
the disease-facial neuralgia.

IMPROVES FLAVOR OF CIGAR
Original Process by Which Pittiburg
Nan Obtains More Satisfaction
In Smoking the Weed.

Lighting q new HaYana, a down.
town professional man, after taking q
few whihs, blew into his cigar, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch, and forced a
lot Of smoke out Of the fiery end
Then he laid Il aside and permitted
the spark to die out.
When asked for an explanation he
said: We'll, learned that habit some
years ago, and l find that a cigar
which has been lighted and then al
lowed to 90 out makes a much better
smoke. l take several vigorous draws
In order to bring the heat well through
the weed. II a cigar becomes cold
while IT is saturated with smoke It
has q musty OdOr; consequently, Il
Is necessary to blow steadily and
quite hard before extinguishing the
spark, in order to clear out all the
smoke that has been drawn between
the layers Of tobacco. After permit
ting the cigar to lie 10 or Is minutes,
or even half an hour, l find on re-
lighting it that the flavor has greatly
improved. The why and wherefore
/ am not philosophical enough to ex-
plain, but know It makes a cigar
better II also improves q toby. Try
1t and you'll agree with me-"

YOUNGEST REAR ADMIRAL.
omcsr Possessing Distinction in the
United States Navy Il Forty
Three Years Of Age.

The corps Of naval constructors, Unit
ed States navy, Is remarkable IN that It's
ranking officers are 90 very young COM
pared with the line OF those Of other
corps. This Is explained, according 70
the Washington Post, by the fact that
those who make up this corps are con,
stantly being offered greater induce
ments by large shipbuilding companies
TO leave the service for which they were
educated.
This partly accounts for Washington
Lee Caps, the present chief Of the bu-
reau Of construction and repair, being
at its head at the age Of 4S, the youngest
ofacer ever having the rank Of real ad-
mirRl IN our navy. As his name might In
dicate. Read Admiral Caps was born IN
and appointed from Virginia He en-
tered the Naval academy In 1880. and
graduated IN 1884, high IN his class. for
BY the act OF congress, August s, 1882,
only ten OF each class were then retained
IN the service. After tour Of two years
sea service he entered the construction
corps, where he was advanced from the
bottom to the top.
While Rear Admiral Caps entered the
service as late as 1880, all Of the q rear
admirals Of the line can date their serv-
ice to before or during the civil war.

Queer Graveyard customs.

In the Athens cemeteries graves are
rented for 3 term Of years, Just like
the habitations Of the quick. Only the
wealthy own burial lots. This Is in
variably an evidence OF wealth or arts

buying q lot or tomb. Such purchase
would be deemed among them an IN
necessary luxury. At the end Of the
term for which a grave is rented the
bones are dug up. placed in q bag,
labeled with the name and date, and
deposited In a general receptacle.
