DEATH AND BIRTH RATES
Prussian Records Confirm the Theory
That They Decline at
Same Time.

The somewhat startling records
of decline in . the Prussian birth
rate appear to give additional con-
firmation to the theory that there is
some systematic correspondence be-
tween the movements of birth rates
and of death rates, instead of the
contrast which some might expect.
The rule seems to be that where
the birth rate is high the death rate
is high, and that where sanitary
science and efficient administration
lower the death rate there is cor
responding decline of the birth
rate.
The death rate in Prussia in 1907
was the lowest on record, and 90
was the birth rate. That fact might
perhaps be regarded as accidental or
as due to some special and tenn
porary circumstances, were it not
shown to be merely a part Of a
process which has been in continuous
operation for years.
Thus, in 1904 the birth rate was
1904; in 1905 it fell to 33.77; in
1906 there was slight recovery to
81, and in 1907 there was a further
fall to only 1928. In the city Of
Berlin in the last-named year it was
only 24.59, and in every province Of
the kingdopa excepting five, in the
extreme east and west, the birth rate
was much below the average.
In the whole empire the years in
crease of population due to the ex-
cess of births over deaths was prob
ably not more than 100000, and it
would have been much less than
that had it not been for the graft
flying reduction Of the death rate,
which in the city of Berlin was only
1852.
Physiological philosophers may
explain this correspondence between
birth rate and death rate, if it real
ly does exist, on ground which will
not make it cause for regret. 1t
may be that some subtle but master
full law of nature compels this cor
relation Of processes in order to pre-
vent either depopulation or overpop-
ulation, on principle similar to
that which increases the fecundity
of the smaller and weaker animals
and decreases that of the larger
and strOnger.-New York Tribune.

Mr.. S. o. Ball arrived home
from his Oregon Grip last week.
Mr.. ball enjoyed every moment
of the time while absent. He
was the greater part of the time
with brother in southwestern
Oregon, at the upper end OF
Rogue river valley. The loca-
ton IS not far from the coast but
the elevation is about 1000 feet,
and is directly at the foot OF
Ashland mountain. 1t is a vol
canic region and Ashland noun
tain is burnt crater. This is
of great depth and 5000 feet
elevation, it is always filled with
some hundred feet ofsnow which
melting forms the source OF
Rogue river. 1t flows through
the town of Ashland furnishing
power for lights and machinery.
The town has about 5000 lnhabit-
ants and is growing rapidly,
The growing of fruit is the prin-
cipal agricultural persuit. but
no tropical or semi tropical sorts
are grown. AS it was all the
same price via Kansas City to
Meade, Mr.. Ball took the oppor-
tunity to go there and visit rela-
tives, stopping off at Hutchin-
son on the return to call on a
son living there.

flowers in the latter, adding a touch
Of green asparagus. On the first tray
arrange the flowers, with the blooms
outward. Be sure to cover the hold
er in each case. A circular mat of
greens can be placed upon the table
cloth, framing the tray. Little in
dividual bouquets for women and
boutonnieres for men may be placed
in each plate.
Keeping the table linen spotless
has always been my hobby and 1

says good housekeeper. Tea, cof-
fee, fruit and egg stains all yield
to it in my house and accidents are

before applying the remedy and l
never attempt it till the water is
boiling hot and there is time to place

Narcissus poeticus is the charming title
of a tiny yellow eyed narcissus costing
for fifty plants from Go cents up
ward. Tiny Spanish iris is another ex-
quisitely pretty border plant, costing only
80 cents for q hundred plants.
To fill in the centre of the border beds
and the large middle plot there is great
variety of hardy perennials which can be
relied upon to bloom in any city garden.
Peonies are always effective, but care
must be taken to procure two year old
roots, else the plant will not bloom the
first year. Japanese iris, which will
flower until June 10, and the German
iris. which blooms so profusely early in
May, are joy to look upon in their
bright spring hues. Columbine is an
other pretty spring flower, and the old
fashioned bleeding hearts should not be
omitted from this back yard garden.
No garden is complete, however, with
out a wealth of roses. A few good varie-
ties of early roses are the Jacqueminot
Madame Plautiner, La France, Coquette
des Blanches and the Baroness Roth
schild. Tea roses also will bloom early in
June if planted in a well sheltered spot
Two year old plants should be procured,
for this garden must show up to its best
advantage its first trial year.
No true flower lover could be content
without at least one bed of heartsease in
her garden. Pansies, if sown in March
in boxes placed in the kitchen window
and then transplanted as soon as the
plants are big enough, will give Eany

hope fulfilled through steadfastness OK
purpose. From the opening out, leaf By
leaf, of the bud until it reaches its full
bloom a flower is the only thing of perfect
beauty in the world. This is why chii-
dren are encouraged to love flowers ana
why in all Sunday schools growing
plant is given away to each child On
Easter day. Through caring for the
plant and watching the buds daily turn
into beautiful flowers it is hoped that
some of the spirit of its beauty may be
absorbed, and a sense of beauty cannot
fail to bring with it a higher sense OF
good.
There should be deeper respect there
fore given to the little Easter flower. IT
only more of those who run might read
perhaps its moral lesson would be re-
membered long after its brief life is over
and it goes to sleep again, not to be
awakened until new year has come and
the lesson must once more be taught, lest

fairly large, about seven inches by hVe,
and are wadded so as to make them
little plump. They are made OF satin III
delicate colors and have no ornamentauon
usually, although some of them are EN-

being, of course, that they shall be united

Girls Now Collect Bookplates.

"A ANY young girls are now taking a
great interest in making collections
: perhaps it would be better to say IN
starting collections-whiEh they hope to
continue for many years. Indeed by be-
ginning early one has more chances to
pick up good things and need not be in a
hurry. All sorts of things are collected,
and one of the latest notions is for book
plates.
Some girls who are very fond of books
and own considerable number of them
have already book plates of their own,
and they really have a good deal of knowl-
edge of the subject. There is much to
learn about the different kinds of plates
and the different makers of them, the
difference between the engraved and the
printed ones and other details, but a girl
who starts in to make a collection soon
learns all this and becomes more and more
interested.
Most book plates are kept in cabinet
drawers, either mounted on cardboard or
Just left unmounted, but some people have
them framed and hang them on the wall.
A girl who is looking for an original way
to decorate her room will find this a most
attractive one. She should have the book
plates framed in plain wooden moulding
in a color that tones with her room. They
can be hung either in a straight line or in

4 PRACTICAL TALKS BY THE

tions it is unwise to resort to home rem.
edies. They need the prompt attention OF
the family doctor, who probably will rec
ommend a visit to an eye specialist.
Eye trouble is so much more common
now than it was a generation ago." added
the April Grandmother thoughttully,
"that L think it must be largely owing to
our high pressure manner of life. That a
strain upon the nerves has an effect upon
the ocular muscles is evidenced by the
number of school girls whose eyes have a
restless, excited expression. Their eye
balls, even when such girls are conversing
with quiet, elderly people, continually
shift from one object to another in man
ner which indicates not only extreme ner-
vousness, but lack of that repOse which
should characterize every American bred

%lkLS VINO are accomplished ueeule-
lwomen will find a fascinating occu-
patton in making some of the charm
ing breakfast caps now fashionable FOR
gifts to their friends. They are not
usually worn by young girls, but as pieces
of handiwork they are most attractive.
No embroidery or lace work is too dainty
for their decoration, and they offer an
unexampled opportunity for the display
of skill and taste. The caps are made
in a great variety of designs, according
to the taste and appearance OF the per-
son who is to wear them. The hrst
question. of course, is what is becoming,
and there are quite enough designs III
favor to make it possible for becom-
ing style to be selected for every one.
Some of the caps are full in the CROWN
with a full ruti1e Oh pleating around the
face. and others are quite Hat on top
without any ruffie, and finished around
the face merely with points of lace. Inc
most coquettish and charming ones tor
most persons are those with the tull
crowns and ruttles, especially for per-
sons with small faces.
caps, Cluny, fet, guipure and Nalenclennes
being the greatest favorites. The lace
must be very good, even if it is not real
lace, and almost always real lace is used
The material is also of the finest; the
most delicate and sheer weaves OF linen
batiste and nansook, Paris muslin, &c.,
are employed These materials must be
exquisitely fine and sheer, as much so as
chiffon, or the effect is not good. Chliton
net, plain and embroidered, and alloVer
lace are also used for these caps.
The caps are trimmed with insertions
and medallions of lace and narrow pleat-
ings and hounces, also with fine embrold-
cry on both crown and ruftle, and with
hemstitching, drawn work and, in fact,
every sort of fine needlework, all OF the
decoration being kept light and deilcate'
When they are made of tulle or net IN
stead of wash materials blond lace and
the thin Spanish and Irish laces are used.
The caps are sometimes lined with Il
very delicate color in thin silk which is
readily removable, so that they may be
cleaned or laundered. The ornamentauon
of the cap matches this color and is in the
form of ribbon bows or artificial flowers,
or both. Satin flowers and the usual mil
liners flowers are both used on the caps.
The flowers are fastened in the bow in
front OF sometimes at one side, and again
the lace face ruffie will be draped up in
several places with knots of the flowers.
Satin and velvet ribbon are both used ON
the caps, and when the material employed
is not Il wash fabric ribbons with gold or
silver patterns are used sometimes or the
flowers may have touch of gold or silver.

caps is of ivory rather than pure white
material, Natter blue velvet ribbon, not
very wide, and small pink roses. This
