the city college. Of 500 or more stu
dents who enter only about one-quar-

are graduated. There are many rea-
sons for three-fourths Of these stu

the greatest Is the necessity of going

others dependent upon them.
The necessity OF providing a college
education for the sons OF those who
were not In a position to pay tuition
and other fees was responsible for
the establishment OF the city college.
and that necessity has increased until
there Is an insistent demand for a
night college. The city must meet
this need. say the advocates OF the
night college.

The Nature Of Pneumonia.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Pneumonia, usually prevalent at this sea-
son, Is at present reaping an almost I'M
precedented death harvest. So commonly
are individuals attacked with the malady
that the occurrence provokes little more
than a sad and passing comment. The
disease is supposed to be always asso-
ciated with cold and Indictment weather,
and we take its infiiction as matter of
course. 1t is only when it comes home to
us that We realize its gravity and the
usual result which awaits it's invasion
Apparently 1t must make it's dreadful score
during our ever-changing winter climate,
do what we may in the way of preventing
an attack.
In taking chances the more we can learn
of the real nature of the disease, its symp-
toms, tendencies and complications, the
better We may realize the Importance of
such preventive measures as may be within
ordinary reach. But, most of ALL the prop
er recognition of the earlier symptoms
giving, as 1t does, the best hope for treat
ment, often turns the scale in safe direc-
tons. A main difficulty is that no one can
tell whether or not a given cold will I'LL
timately travel to the deeper parts Of the
lungs. Thus 1t happens that no cough,
soreness of chest chilliness or other evil
dence of even slight catarrhal troubles can
be trusted these times. The only hope
rests in the fact that 1t may go no further.
There can hardly be a doubt, however,
that the prompt use of proper remedies for
day. The older the person the more care
full he should be. But when once the
pneumonia gets fair start 1t must 20 to
It's finish. 1t is essentially a self-hmited
disease and must progress through its va
rious stages either to recovery or death.
No matter how much time may be con-
sumed in the preparation for the attack,
the real onset of pneumonia Is almost al
ways abrupt and sudden, and is ushered
In by long and severe chill, quickly fol-
lowed by pain in the side, short, painful
cough, hurried and difficult breathing,
'grunting' expiration, high fever and blood
tinged expectoration. In the meanwhile
the smaller air tubes in the deeper portions
of the lung are being rapidly clogged by
effusions In natures effort to counterfeit
and eventually throw OFF the infectious
material.

England's Birth Rate.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
The report Of the registrar-general Of
births. marriages and deaths in England
and Wales for 1906 Is issued as a blue book
1t says that the population OF England and
Wales. enumerated at the end of March,
1901. consisted of 81, SGT ,s43 persons. From
that date until the middle of 1905 the num-
Der Of births exceeded the number Of deaths
by 1,730,576. The estimated population In
the middle of 1905 was "a, 152, o77
The births registered in 1905 numbered
49, 93. and were In the proportion of q. 2
per 1000 of the total population Of both
sexes and all ages: this is the lowest rate
recorded since civil registration was estab-
lished. In the year 1876 the birth rate at
tained in this country the highest point on
record. viz, 1913 per 1000 living; since that
date the ratio has, with triding exceptions.
steadily fallen. until in tho year 1905 It was,
as already stated. no more than 27.2 per
1000 living. The birth rate calculated In this
way was OF per 1000 below that recorded
In 1904, and was 1.S per 1000 below the av-
erage In the ten years 1S95-19O4.
Some of the consequences Of the decreas-
ing birth rate in this country are modified
by decreasing death rate. The deaths reg
istered In England and Wales during the
year 1905 numbered 520,O31, and were in
the proportion of 1872 per 1000 persons liv-
ing. The rate was the lowest recorded since
civil registration was established.

feud had arisen between two parties in
the town. and the priest preached ser
mon in which he urged the peasants to
make friends before they came to church
again. They took him at his word, and on
the following Sunday the two hostile par
ties marched up the church side by side
and kissed the altar. They then solemnIy
shook hands. and kissed one another on
both cheeks in the Polish fashion to seal
the reconciliation.
The kissing scene excited loud laughter
among the members of the congregation
and the priest prosecuted the peasants for
unseemly conduct in church. The court
held that church Is no place for kissing,
and found the peasants guilty.
