A novelty In the way Of contribu-
lions to the conscience fund was re-
ported today at the treasury depart
ment- The amount Of the contribution
is $3.50 I'm bills, and comes from Jersey
City.
The contributor wanted 10 restore to
the treasury the amount he had taken
from 1t, but after his own experience
be evidently was not disposed to trust
other people. He cut the bills I'm haie
and sent the left-hand ends through
the Jersey City postofice. WITH them
he sent a letter saying that he would
send the other half Of the cut bills
through the New York postofhce.Tn this
way he counted I'm circumventing any
government employe who might be dis
posed to loot the envelope. The treas
ury department, he pointed out. would
be compelled to destroy and reissue the
mutilated bills.-Philadeiphia Ledger.

What is wrong with my way of

Church festival be hanged! We are

Mrs. Bowser had no more to say and
Mr.. Bowser felicitated himself that he
had made a proper beginning. If he
had only been a little more observing
and noticed the smile playing around
the corners of her mouth it would have
been better for him later on. When
dinner was finished and they had re-
turned to the sitting room he assumed
his most judicial demeanor and began:

ment this evening I observed that one

81 am talking facts, woman. As I
entered the gate l stumbled over a
cfothespin. While it was only a single
one it showed the carelessness and
waste prevailing in this house. You
probably threw it from a window at
a dog"
Gas there is a foot of snow on our
sidewalk and more falling, I don't see
how you stumbled over such a small
thing as a clothespin," observed Mrs.
Bowser.
There are lots of things you don't
observe. and you needn't try to split
hairs with me. l presume the gas bill
for last month has come in?'
Eyes"
"And we are charged with burning
about a million feet of gas?"
"The bill is only so cents higher
than for the month before"
"Only 80 cents! By the great horn
spoon, woman, but it ought to have
been 81 less! Who has wasted that
gas? Who has deliberately gone at it
and turned it ON in the daytime and
let it whiZ away?"
No one, of course. I must tell you
that the coal for the range is out. It
lasted four days longer than the last
ton, but I suppose you

Don't my dear me. A ton of coal
burned in our kitchen in ten days. Ten
days! Mrs. Bowser, don't try to fool
me. You sold at least half that coal
to get money to attend bargain sales.
You may deny it, but nothing on earth
will convince me that you didn't.
Great Scott, sell the coal out of my eel
lar to buy fummididdles!"
81 say the coal has lasted twenty
seven days, Mr.. Bowser, and you are
talking nonsense. You might as we'll
charge the cook with eating it. There's

SEX AND AGE IN THE CENSUS.
More Men Than Women in the United
States, But the Women Live -;
Longer.


Men are in the majority in the Unit.
ed States to the extent Of ZIG in each
ten thousand cf the population, ac-
cording to a bulletin issued by the
census bureau. In 1890 the excess OF
males was 2l2. 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 (4S.7 per cent?, and
Rhode Island (491 per cent?; those
with the largest are Wyoming (G2.9
per cent?, and Montana (61.1. per
cent?. A curious divergence Of sexes
appears in the returns for cities and
country districts. IL the cities having
a population of $500 or more in 1890
there were 6,929 more males than fe-
males; il 1900. this proportion had.
been reversed and the females. in cit.
les Of this. size were 2O1,959 in ex.
cess. AS again st this change the ex-
cess of 1,519,559 males in country dis
tricts in 1890 became an excess OF
1,840,280 in 1900. Among the Negroes
there are a few more females than
males; among the Indians 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 pa.
riod from SO years of. :. age to the END
OF life the absolute number Of females
is larger than that OF males, and also
in the period from 16 to 25, although
the census experts ascribe the latter
superiority to alsified returns rather
than to an absolute majority. The
death rate OF males in the registration
area in 1900 was 19 per thousand and
that of females was 1876. The differ
ence in the death rate is least be-
tween the ages OF and II, and great
est at the extremes Of life. There is
a period between the ages OF and
q when the death rate Of females IS
in excess of that of males. In spite
OF the fact that four-fiftns OF the
child-births occur between the ages OF
20 and 80, 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
seven years in ths last century. The
productive age-group in the United
States, that part of the population be-
tween Is and 60, comprises nearly
