From the London Mail.
A fiippant young man who was asked by
an inquirer into truth whether his sex in
dulged in sewing answered that he had only
heard of their prowess in that way in con-
nection with wild oats.
But he was wrong. Many men sew with
the domestic needle and thread, and sew
well, too.
1t is curious and undoubtedly ascer-
tanned fact that when men do embrace &C.
equations In which women are supposed ex-
clusively to shine they excel in them. Take.
as an instance, the man cook, whose skill
in culinary matters is usually emphatic;
consider the man nurse, whose gentleness
and resource excel even the Wanted quail
ties of women in that direction; take the
masculine designer of woman's dress, to
whom no female can hold a candle.
Run through the various arts and crafts
which are deemed distinctly feminine, and
the same rule Will be found to obtain.
Sailors are clever wielders of the needle,
and the Hungarian shepherds while they
tend their flocks, skillful embroderers

ingrained cotton.
Many scotsmen are capable knitters, and
that there is a distinct vogue among Eng

COMMENT.

The report of DIR. Henry Mitchell,
of Asbury Park, secretary of tho State
Board of Health, is all interesting one
from a statistical standpoint. DIR.
Mitchell shows that although the
population of the State has increased,
the death rate is diminished. There
are also fewer deaths from consump-
ton. Modern sanitary precautions aud
the discoveries of science probably
account for these changed conditions.
Unquestionably precautions of the
State Board of Health help in a great
mea sure to prevent the spread of con
tagion, malarial and typhoid ~fevers,
and kindred ailments that spring from
foul conditions. In this State there
is a continuous cleansing going on. Ii
this sort Of work doesn't decrease the
death rate it helps to make life more
comfortable and should be encouraged.
