REPORT ON
THE CITIES

The bureau OF the census has just
issued its annual report on the sta
tistics of cities having a popula ton
of over 10000. This report covers
the year 1906. and includes financial
statistics.
A considerable portion of the in
PRODUCTION to the report is utilized
for presenting definitions of the ac-
counting terms employed by the bu-
reau OF the census, a statement of
the principles upon which govern
mental accounting rests and a brief
resume of the systems and methods
of accounting made use of at the
present time by the various govern
ments of the United States and Great
Britain.
The number of cities included in
this report is SIS, of which l > had
over 100000 inhabitants, 27 between
100000 and 100000, As between
10000 and 100000, and 6S of them
had under 10000.

600: Chicago third. with ia 1872;
Philadelphia fourth, with S1.S2S. and
Duluth fifth. with 40.556.
The city having the smallest land

A Dangerous Leak.

When an engineer discovers a leak
in his boiler that will not allow him
to keep up steam. he has an expert
boilermaker repair that leak as soon
as possible.
People afflicted With headaches
and eye pains have a leak of nervous
energy and brain strain through the
eyes which is the cause. They should
be just as prompt. or more so. than

paired.

More pheaSants are fed to death
than raised. After twenty-four hours
feed three times daily and, contrary to
superstition that birds get most Of
their drink from dewdrops. keep pure
water before them and grit. First four
days feed custard made Of twelve beat
en- eggs stirred into pint Of milk at
boiling point. then boil thick. After
fourth day serve as part of ration for
eight weeks.
On fifth day add little chopped let
tuce and pinhead oatmeal On eighth
day Introduce kiln dried cracked wheat.
split oats and occasionally little hemp
or millet. After three weeks serve
minced boiled meat, using broth to wet
up n crumbiy barley mash. At six
weeks throw in wheat and barley for
supper. and they are now ready for
adult ration.
Feed them greens regularly. but keep
OF the wet grass TO avoid gapes.
Old birds In woods are only fed in
winter unless food is scarce.
In confinement they are fed like
chickens. They relish the following:
Acorns, cheStnuts, hazelnuts, beech
mast, grains. seeds. roots, heritage.
small fruits, cress, cabbage, lettuce.
