was not so good as in the c is
bonding month last year. We NJ
so record more deaths, the num-
Der Of deaths being respectively
1896 for February 1908 and 1878
for February 1907. The most
prevalent diseases were, inhuen-
"a, pneumonia, bronchitis and
tonsilitis. These were also the
most prevalent diseases in Feb
ruary 1907. The exact order of
disease prevalence was as fol-
lows: Influenza, pneumonia, bron
chitis, tonsilitis, rheumatism,
measles, pleuritis, scralet fever,
smallpox, typhoid fever, center
Iic), diphtheria and membranous
Group, diarrhoea, whooping
cough, erysipelas, chickenpox, in
termittent and remittent fever,
inflammation of the bowels, cere-
bro-spinal meningitis, cholera
morbus, dysentery, typho-malar-
ial fever, cholera infantum.
The death rate for the whole
state was 1873, for the cities, &c.
6 and for the country, 1873. Death
by important ages were Under l

be noticed that measles caused
more deaths than scarlet fever

shown by the morbidity reports,

than those from typhoid fever.
Five years ago the reverse was
the case. In all the states where
statistics are kept it is noted tina,
cancer apparently is on the in
crease and typhoid on the de-

Dear Sir: Take a twostory house

paints; you will be surprised. Say the
house has total of 1910 square feet.
Divide by 300; you buy II gallons
That's the rule; but 1t never comes Out
so.
Buy any other paint than Devoe, you
will have to buy more, up to possibly
20 gallons Paint with Devoe and you i
have q gallon or two to return. Here
are some experiences.
N. r. Watkins, Lott Texas, used IL
gallons on his house before; bought IL
gallons Devoe for same house and had
6 left.
G. B. Edwards, of Edwards q Brougf

Savings Bank Rates to Depositors.
From the bennington Banner

It has been evident the past year
that the savings bank and trust COM
panies which could pay. four per cent
under the restrictive provisions Of the
state law held a decided advantage
over their less fortunate brethren.
Practically all the savings banks In
Vermont have made a handsome gain
in deposits, but where the banks have
been able to advertise four per cent
compound interest to depositors. the
deposits have increased by leaps and
bounds, as for instance Gov. Pages
bank at Hyde Park which has gained
$235, 900 or almost quarter Of mil
lion in deposits during the last six
months Of 1907.

PLUCkY ALABAMA GIRL
Fells a New York Washer Who Was
Annoying Her.

From the New York American.
A dapper young man on Upper Broad
way last evening was following a girl,
whose hands were in a huge muff. Sud-
denly, at Forty-fifth street, one of her
hands, clad in a two-ounce boxing glove,
dashed out and sent the masher rolling
into the gutter. He lay there a few Sec
onds, then picked himself up and sour
ried away, just as Detective Leigh. head
of the Uptown Detective Bureau, came
along. Leigh said:
Young lady, you mustn't come around
here knocking people down..
III an instant the girl had swung
around again, and Leigh saw the two
ounce glove coming his way, and, being
a boxer himself just managed to dodge
enough to receive a glancing blow
Leigh threw his coat open and displayed
his shield, and the woman dropped her
guard.

Los Angeles Cal, December 2.-ln
this sermon the preacher enthrones the
Christian mother as the queen OF nome,
the true helpmeet and the bright exem-
plar of purity and benevolence. Inc
text is Psalm xviii, II Or. VI, THE Lord
giveth the word-the women that pupilsii
the tidings are a great host.
We are apt to associate the idea OF
publishing gospel tidings exclusively with
the pulpit. THAT Is the place from which
the tidings are usually and chiefly pup
lished. But it is not the only place.
There are other ways of pubHsmng the
tidings than by preaching, and one OF
these Is indicated by the psalmist in my
text. Who can ever estimate how much
good women have done In that way! Inc
world will never know how much the
publication of the gospel tidings by the
mothers and wives of men has mad 10
do with the usefulness of their sons and
husbands.
pity that man who, having been in
daily companionship for years with
mother, a sister, wife and daughter,
has not grace enough in his heart TO ap-
precate the nobility of woman. When
stood by the deathbed of that great
apostle of temperance, Francis MURPHY
his youngest child said to me: The
other day l was alone with my father.
He took my hand and said, Daughter,
ever since | was privileged to associate
with your mother l have never lost my
faith in the purity of womanhood.'
When Thomas De Witt, the great
New York pastor was on his deathbed
he continually talked to the girls about
the noble, sweet and gentle wife who had
preceded him into the land of everlasting
roses" and he babe them never to forget
her and always to pattern their lives after
her life During the last walk DR.. JoJseph
Parker took on earth he turned to his
companion and with a faraway look, as
though he was trying TO pierce the clouds
and see to the foot of the great white
throne where his beloved wife was then
singing the song of the redeemer in heav-
en-, he said, Ever since she left me /
have always tried to do as she wished,
and | feel that she has always directed
my steps" So with most of us. When
we think of what we owe to women we
are surrounded at once by a great num-
Der of women, both living and dead,
whose gentle, self-sacrificing lives have
nodded us and purified US and made us
what we are.
Some time ago there came into my
possession a suggestive epitaph, which
was chiseled upon New England tomb
stone. Let me read it to you Some one
who knew her well had thus sketched
the life work of a good. woman as uod
had given 1t to her to do, step by step:
"A Sarah to her husband, Eunice to her
children, a Lois to her grandchildren,
lydia to Gods ministers, Martha to her
guests, a Dorcas to the poor and an An
ma toxher God" Was not that beautiful
Testimony to duty well done? Did not
that epitaph in a Scrptural combination
round out a woman's perfect life? Most
of us have been surrounded by our Sarahs
and her Eunces, and our Losses and our
Iydias and our Marthas and Decreases.
Have they not been to us true evangel-
lists, leading us along the paths of truth
and purity and by the power of the Holy
