Why the Woman Paid Duty.

When Mrs. Maud Gilyeat and Miss
Anna Speck were in Havana last mouth
they wanted to do the right thing by
their many men associates i'll the state
house and invested in some fine Cuban
cigars. They paid a good price for them
and slowed them away until their start
on the return trip. Someone told them
they would have to pay Il duty. They
doubted it. They remembered that men
they had known had brought back cigars
without paying any duty.
The two ladies went to the custom
house at Havana and asked point blank
if they would have to pay duty.
Sure" said the customs official.
But we have known men who brought
cigars back to the states without paying
duty they said.
Right again" said the official. The
men made affidavit that the cigars were
for their own consumption. Now if you
ladies want TO make an affidavit like
that
NO, thank YOU" retorted The ladies ns
they hurried out.
And we paid the duty, too said Mrs.
Gilyeat the other day. If any one asks
You what the duty on cigar. from Ha-
vana is just tell them it IS 100 per cent"

The accident to the German aerial
warship ZEPPELIN H., which was described
in yesterdays dispatches from Llmburg
on der Lain, is typical Of what may he
expected whenever a dlriEjble is ont in
the open and a strong wind comes up.
Your dirigible is bound to he struC-
ture SO large us TO present a broad sur
face to the gale. To ensure its safety on
the ground it must be housed. Bur to
house it wherever it comes To earth Is
impracticable. Therefore il will be often
open to the danger of a sudden tempest
sporting with 1t as cat sports with
mouse and dashing it to destruction.
This is what caused the wreck of the
Zeppelin II.
Two companies of infantry made flu
tile efforts to hold it, but IT broke away
and after a brief flight was dashed to
pieces. So much for tho dirigible air
ship. 1t is an expensive toy. II is too
greatly subject 20 the caprice of the wind
to be relied upon for effective work IN
time Of war--it is not able to hold its
own against ordinary atmospheric con
tinge ncies in time of peace.

Mortality Statistics.

MADISON. Wis, April 30 Spe-
cial. For the months OF January, Feb
ruary and March, 1910, tuberculosis still
held high place in the mortality col
umu for Wisconsin, ranking second only
10 Pneumonia. tuberculosis ended the
lives OF GIJ persons i'll those three
months, while pneumonia took So6.
These hgureS are from an abstract of
the monthly mortality report OF the state
bureau Of vital statistics.
During the first quarter, 1893 deaths
were reported to the bureau from the
various townships, incorporated villages
ana cities of the state. This is exclusive
of still births and corresponds to an an
nual death rate of 12.2 per thousand es-
timated population.
Comparing this rate with the rate of
NJ per thousand for the same period last
year, 1t Is found that the equable winter
and early spring weather has served to
decrease the number of deaths during
that period Of time. Last years figures
for the same months were 12S6, eXcll-
Sive of stlll-blrthS. giving an excess for
1910 of seven, but the normal increase
III population should be taken into ac-
count in determining what the actual in
crease would be if the conditions were
practically the same in both years
Comparing the number of deaths from
certain causes for the first quarter of
1910 with Il similar report for 1909,
there is found an increase as follows
Pulmonary tuberculosis, >; other trber-
culosis, - typhoid fever, "a; scarlet fe-
yer, Is; diarrhoea and enteritis, %
meningitis, |; puerperal septecaemia, II :;
cancer, G3; violence, 80. There was
decrease Of 43 deaths from diphthcria,
/ from measles, II froI- whooping cough,
IT from pneumonia, and l. from intu-
euza.
In the last bulletin il was shown that
there was decrease of II deaths from
diphtheria for October November and
December of 1909 as compared with a
similar period for 1908 At the present
rate of decrease it can safely be asserted
that the time is not far distant when
the mortality from diphtheria will be so
small that it will not he worthy of con

have accomplished with the appropriation

does not contain the costly marbles and

voted much time and attention to secure

HindOos aud SIohammedans.

But can the IIindoos and the Moham-
medans work together? And VIII they
do so?"
Il think not" was the reply Neither
trusts the other. We have three times as
many Hindoos as Mohammedans There
are &C. OO0,O 900 Mohammedans and about 200 =
100000 Hindoos. The Mohammedans are
afraid that they would lose in any such
combination. One reason is the Hindoos
are so much in the majority and another
is that their better education and fitness
of mind would give them the advantage in
any governing body where an educational
qualification might be required"
I asked this same question later in the
day of one OF the viceroys cabinet. He
replied:
The most of our troubles come from
the educated dindoos, although many of
them are still loyal to the government.
AS to the Mohammedans, they are COM
paratively quiet, but they want a greater
share in the administration Of affairs.
They are not in favor of any changes
which might put the Hindoo on horseback,
and they fear that II a representative gov
ernment should be instituted the enormous
numbers of the Hindoos would give them
the majority of the offices. You have of
course read of Lajpat Raj, the anti-govern-
ment agitator whom We had to ship out of
the country.
"IIe was a native lawyer, a student OF
the College of Lahore, who believed in
India for Indians He was an eloquent fell
low and could stir up the Hindoos, but
he could not impress the Mohammedans
/ once heard him make an incendiary
speech at Lahore His audience was d
mixed body Of Mohammedans and Hindoos
IIe was denounclng the British. and de-
handing that India should be governed by
natives Upon that Mohammedan in the
crowd cried out: When we want new
ruler we won't chose a banya (tradesman
like you. We would rather have the Brit
ish.' Well, that is the feeling of the Mo.
hammodans. They have no use for the
