Luther Burbank. the California horti-
culturist whose experiments in the I'm
provcment of fruits and creation Of
new flowers and fruits have made him
famous, has received many offers from
persons iii England. France and even
In South America to purchase his Won
derful creation, the SO called fadeless
flower Some Of the purchasers wish
to buy 1t with reference to its use In
millinery and others as a mere novelty
of marketable value. but so far Mr..
Burbank refuses to sell 1t despite lib
eral offers. His custom is never to
permit one Of his creations to leave his
hands until he has made it as nearly
perfect as possible. Fortunately. ow-
ing to the wise generosity of the Car.
negie institution. he will be able to
continue this policy and to Withstand
the temptation to part with his prod.
ucts until they are ready for general
use.

some Figures That show the Source

1t has required almost FIVE years for
the census bureau to tabulatc some Of
the most important sociological results
Of the enumeration taken in June, 1900.
We have had bulletins on all sorts of
topics, but at last we reach those Of
age and sex. We suppose the Indies
are interested in both these topics and
at the start it is necessary to say that
the director Of the census distinctly
states that ladies are very unreliable
III giving their age. Most men probably
had noticed this failing. but we believe
this Is the first tune 1t has been official
~ confirmed.
Thus we find that the average age Of
all the people III the country is (all
statistics as of 1900 little less than
twenty three years. This must be
taken in connection with other statis-
ties. which show that the average per-
son born lives 10 lie thrtyfivc years.
u about onc-half Of the period allotted
by the psal!nst.
Also the director says that elderly
persons have exaggerated their age, so
that the statistics of centenurians are
notably unreliable There were 1904
persons reporting themselves as hun
drcd or over. and the director thinks
this an cGaggeration. particularly
among the negroes Of the south, where
the older portion of the population have
nothing but very indistinct memory
and large imagination on which to base
their computation. About 10000 per-
sons confessed to being ninety or over,
the women being predominant, and it is
further interesting to note that there
are nearly million who have reached
the age of scventy-five, figures not seri-
ously disputed.
The census figures show that if you
can get over the ills of infancy yo'i
have Il fair expectation Of life but that
when you l.ave voted for two years you
are the average of the race in this couil-
try. It is such figures as these which
make insurance business profitable.
While. as old DR.. Young remarked all
men think all men mortal but them
selves ilc fact that figures show how
near death is makes for the benefit o:
the companies which provide for your
relatives when you are gone.
As to sex. the figures are impressive
There are about 2O0O.G0O less women
than men in the country Counting ali
ages. and This accounts for the fact
that the women run the country. In
lands where there is Il surplus Of WON

night he felt q strong east wind blow.
1t blew 50 hard that in one night 1t
blew back the waters and left the ships
which were once riding Mt anchor
stranded on dry land. God answered
Moses prayer. He answered 1t through
the agency Of the east wind.
God exercises the same control over
his animate creation that he has over
the winds. and with this. too. he oper.
ates for the benefit Of his people.
After the children Of Israel had been
for months living upon the mama in
the wilderness they began to crave
meat. They cried unto Moses: "Givc
us flesh to eat! Give us lesh!" What
happened? The Bible says: "There
went forth q wind from the Lord and
brought quails from the sea and let
them fall by the camp - . Us 1t were
two cubits high upon the face Of the
EARTH" This does not mean. as Mr.
Hastings declares, that the Lord by
an east wind piled mp dead quails
about the ysraelite camp two cublts
high. hut It does mean that the east
wind blew the quails, against their
will, straight toward the lsraelites.
The wind was so powerful that the
birds, heavy OF body and short of
wing, had to fly low on account Of the
tornado. And as they few low the
men killed them. God answered the
prayer OF Moses. He answered 1t In
| the shrieklng Of winds.
