SEX AND AGE IN THE CENSUS OF
- 1900.
More Men Than Women in the United
States, but the Women Live
Longer.

Men are in the majority in the
United States to the extent of ZIG IN
each 10000 of the population, accord
ing to bulletin issued by the Gen.
sus Bureau. In 1890 the excess Of
males was 242. The divisions of con-
tinental United States with the small
est proportion of males are the Dis
trict of Columbia (47.4 per cent?,
Massachusetts 1881 per cent?, and
Rhode Island (49.1 per cent?; those
with the largest are Wyoming (62.9)
per cent?, and Montana (61.6 per
cent?. A curious divergence of sexes
appears in the returns for city and
country districts. In the cities hav-
ing a population of $500 or more IN
1890 there were 1929 more males
than females; in 1900 this proportion
had been reversed and the females in
cities of this size were 201,959 in ex-
cess. AS against this change the ex-
cess of 1,519,559 males in country dis
1,840,2S in 1900 Among the negroes
there are few more females than
males, among the Indians a few more
males than females. About five
ninths of the immigrants are males.
The excess Of males in the total
population is offset to some extent
by the longer age of FEMALES. In the
period from S3 years of age to the
end of life of males, and also in the
period from 16 to %, although the
census experts ascribe the latter SUI
periority of falsified returns rather
than to an absolute majority. The
death rate of males in the registra-
ton area in 1900 was 10 per thousand
and that of females was 1876. TIE
between the ages Of 5 and IA and
greatest. at the extremes of life.
There is a period between the ages
of and Fl when the death rate of
females is in excess Of that eff males.
In spite of the fact that four-fifths
of the childbirths occur between the
ages of 20 and so, the death rate of
women at that time is smaller than
that of men. In 1900 the median age,
the age which exactly divides the
total population, was 22.85 years, an
increase of nearly years in the last
century. The productive age group
in the United States, that part of the
population between 16 and 60, COM
prises nearly three-ffths of the popu-
lation, larger proportion than is to
be found in most European countries.
Nearly one-fourta of the population is
less than 10 years of age.-Public

School Days.
Of to school,

OFF to school,
With a merry laugh!
While the spirit beams
With its youthful dreams
And the eye is bright
AS star at night,
And the cheek is red
AS a red rose bed,
And their glowing health
Is a world OF wealth
AS they romp and sing
And shout and ring
The changes down
On the quiet town,
Till all doth share
The gladness there
Of the boys and girls
When the day is fair.
In at school
And a solemn look!
For the joy is gone
And the troubles on,
When the puzzled face
In its wonted place
Is brooding DER
It's tragic lore,
And they peg away
The livelong day
Till the brain is dull
In the throbbing skull
And the souls arack
With breaking back
At the weary task
That the masters ask,
But they have from me
My sympathy,
When the day is gray.
Out Of school
With a heave and sigh!
But the face of youth
Is stamped with truth.
For the way Of a book
Gives a placid look
And a quiet mien
In the soul is seen,
And the work begun
Is never done;
But the childish sorrow
Knows no tomorrow.
And the youthful sigh
Shall soon pass by!
So my heart is sad
And my heart is glad
For the boys and girls
When the day is sped.
