BIRTH RATES IN EUROPE.

Highest in the Eastern and the
Southern Part Of the Continent,
Nearly every country in Europe
publishes a summary of the informa-
tion obtained in the census of its pop
ulation, which is taken every five or
ten years. BY studying these con-
densed reports interesting compari-
sons as to the growth of population
may be obtained.
For instance. it Is found that in
proportion to population the birth
rate is larger in eastern than in west
ern Europe and in the southern than
in the northern part of the continent.
The birth rate is more than twice
as large in Russia as It is in France.
In Normandy and the southwestern
part of France, where the birth rate
is lowest, the births at times fall as
low as fifteen to the thousand inhabi-
tants in a year. But in Russia there
are many districts, as in Orenburg,
where the births are as high as sixty
a thousand in year.
NOtWlInStanulnB the ehOIHouS Slhl-
grafton from Europe in the nine
teenth century its population now is
nearly double what 1t was at the be-
ginning Of the century. It is believed
that at the beginning Of the Christian
era there were only a few million
people in the whole of Europe. It
does not seem likely that the present
rate Of Increase can continue many
centuries to come.
That part OF Great Britain occupied
by England is now the most densely
peopled region in Europe. The crowd
ing of so many millions together is at
last having the effect of diminishing
the birth rate. Statistics show that
IL has declined one-fourth in the last
twenty-eight years. II this goes on it
will not be a very long time before
the English birth rate is as small as
that of France.
In some parts of Germany, as In
Berlin and the region around 1t, the
birth rate Is declining, but in most Of
the empire 1t still appears to be hold
ing its own.

EARLY ADVERTISEMENTS.
One Of the First a Handbll caxton
Cot Out In 1880 About "Pyes."

One Of the First a Handbill CaNton
Cot Out In 1880 About "Pyes."
One OF the first English printed ad-
vertisements was a handbill or post
er got out by Caxton N 1880 and
reading. "Pyes ;" OF Salisbury
- good and chepe II It please
any man spirituel or temporel to
bye"
This was not a bakers advertise
ment. Caxton had printed "Pyes"
or clerical rules telling how the cler-
gy at Salisbury dealt with the chang
ing date of Easter; and as the clergy
could read he was bold enough to
print advertisements Of his "Pyes."
For two centuries after It was in
troduced printing which should have
doomed advertislng-if advertising
depended primarily upon printing
had little or no effect upon 1t. The
public had to be reached by the rebus
over the shop, the public criers In
towns and by boys in front of stalls
calling, "what dye lack, master?
What dye lack?"
Even public notices posted in ca
thedrals and other frequented places
were seldom printed, says writer In
System. So few copies were requir-
ed for the few readers that they were
cheaper handwritten.
And even the newspapers, when the
civil wars in England in the seven
teenth century brought them forth
and they began to develop readers,
had an extraordinarily small effect in
developing advertising.
Book notices, rewards for the ar
rest of runaway servants and thieves
and the announcements Of quacks be-
gan to appear about 1862. And a lit
tie later the germ Of modern adver-
tising began to develop in the Mer-
GURUS Politicus, the Kindom's Intel
ligencer, the Publick Advertiser and
others in an effort to introduce tea,
coffee and chocolate into England,
| thus:
Tea. "That excellent and by all
Physicians approved China drink call
ed by the Chineans Teha, by other
Nations Tay, alias Tee"
Coffee: "The grain or berry called
coffee, growing only upon little trees
in the deserts of Arabia. Brought
from thence and as drunk generally
throughout all the Grand Seignor's
dominions. 1t is a simple. innocent
thing composed into a drink"
And chocolate: "An excellent West
India drink called Chocolate"
The contrast between popular de-
pendence upon advertising then and
now cannot be better shown than by
the experience after the great Lon
don fire.
In 1866 London was practically
wiped out by fire. The printer Of the
London Gazette, with almost pro-
phetic acumen, offered his columns
for notices Of new locations OF shops
But though practically every impor'
tant shop in the city was moved there
was absolutely no response to this
offer. The old locations had never
been known through the newspapers
so why should any one look there fol
the new?
At the present time after large
fire in an American city the news
papers are filled with notices of the
new locations and restorations o.

the famous Russian priest who died
last week were inferred In this
city yesterday in the presence OF a
small body Of his immediate fol-
lowers.
It Is evident from the recitals OF
the death of this man Is evoking
that his fame among the masses
will be greater in death than 1t was
in life.
A series of miracles in connec-
tion with the burial are already
being recounted. A blind man is
described as having recovered his
sight from having bathed his eyes
in a puddle of water over which tho
coffin was carried. A cab driver re-
covered the use of palsied arm.

Baseball Talk is Coming in
Season Again.
MARION'S 1909 TEAM
Promises to Have Some Big
League Timber.
Bob Lin ndeman Writes That he is in
Shape and Wants to Play with
Marion Next Year.

No cold wave such as this can
freeze up the enthusiasm in baseball
and the outlook for this season is so
encouraging that the fan bugs cannot
but at every opportunity discuss the
coming race. Almost every one
wants to see the club ON a strong
financial basis this season, and all
that is needed is someone to take
tine initiate and there will be plenty
of lucre forthcoming. Many sug-
gestions have been made and al
ready plans are under way for some
thing good in this line. A bazaar
is planned for the benefit OF the club,
1t will be under the direction of a
number of Marion society ladies
who are ardent fans. The nmen, too,
will help. but all of the fair sex who
care for baseball will be asked to
contribute in one way or an other
to the success of the bazaar. The
men will do their share in buying
the articles put up for sale. In this
way a good sum is certain to be re-
allied.
Then there are other plans to be
worked out The idea of giving an
entertainment of some sort for the
benefit of the baseball company is a
principal thought. 1t Is entirely like

that several hundred more slmoleons

FThe Mummy and the Humming
Bird which will appear at the Grand
Opera House. Friday, Jan. z, 1909,
Is a play of the hour for there
never was more successful play
before the public than the above.
The vehicle itself Is one which
creates strong interest through
out suggesting the possibilities, as
the consequence of a feminine love
neglected by its mate and craving
affection, from whatever source II
may come. In the play, Lady Lum-
| ly Is neglected by the mummy, so
styled on account of his love for his
study and scientific researches, and
blindly turns for comfort to the
Humming Bird, Signor D'Orelli, the
Ivillianous Italian nobleman, who by
clever combination of circum
stances, worked out by the ingen-
ious Lord Lumly, Is at last shown
forth in all his nakedness. The parts
are all in capable hands and the
play with It's present cast, is one
which is taking favorably wherever
It shows.
The company which will present
this most successful play Is the
best that could have been secured
and Is headed by the most popular
stars, Mr.. Harry English and Miss

Frank Wolfe should be about ripe
this season. Last year, his first in
professional company, he played at
times al most brilliant game. AT
other times, like most youngsters, he
was inclined to be erratic, and his
misplays seemed to count more than
thoGe of amy other player. His eX-
perience should help him materially
this year and he should be far stead

without an equal in the league and
