according to the bulletin recently is- sued by the Bureau of the Census It points out that the cost of municipal government in all of these is increas- ing faster than the population. This shows a tendency which is in opera tion in State and national govern ments. and In Europe as well as Tn the United States. If we take d sur vey of the entire list of cities in the country, we learn the highly impOr- tant fact that they are growing much faster than the rural regions: In 1760. when the first census was taken, there were only six cities of 5000 inhab- itants or over: and there were only III in 1880 but there were 545 in 1900. and there will undoubtedly be more than $50 in 1910. when the next count Is made. These cities formed only 3.a per cent. of the country's ag- gregate population in 17s0. 16.1 per cent. h 1860. and ss.s per cent. in 1900. They will be more than 36 per cent. in 1910. The largest growth in the number of cities Is in the Mis- sissippi Valley. East as well as west, however. the cities have been prosper ous during the past ten years. except as the present business setback has affected them temporarily

Travelling Needles.

Medical Record.
 The Lancet refers to the curiouA wanderings of needles through the bodily tissues, and recalls the history of a remarkable case published in its columns some twenty-five years ago. The patient was a healthy Scotch girl, aged twenty years. who had no sign of hysterical tendency but was in the habit of putting pins in her mouth, and sometimes had been known to fall asleep without removing them. She was admitted to the Hospital. having swallowed five pins accidentally. while fixing clothes. and by the help of emetics she was relieved of them. Re- turning home. she began regularly to vomit pins and got rid of twenty three In the course of month. She then began to produce needles. out from the following situ- ations-the left nostril. the organ of the sternomastoid behind the left ear, and a spot on the front of the right forearm; at the same time she contin- ued vomiting pins until seventy five had appeared. The needles were blackened and slightly eroided, and two of them were threaded with about three inches of thread.
