NATURES CHEERFUL WAY.

Those who keep their eyes open to
the work of nature in the great world
out OF doors must have been impress
ed by the swift and sure mending OF
much of the damage done by the ex-
IRENE cold and the bitter storms OF
last winter. The healing of the scars
of two savage months is going on at
a rate encouraging to all who recog-
human affairs by the return the SOIL
makes to those who till 1t. Many
young peach trees which looked dead
have sprouted vigorously from the
roots. Rose bushes cut down to
ground by the intense cold are grow
ing fast and showing much vitality.
Hedges which seemed destroyed are
likewise shooting up again and grow
ing every day, says the Cleveland
Leader. Pastures and meadows are
gaining fast with the advance Of the
season. Many fruit trees are bearing
as if they had not been subjected to
an extreme test of vitality. It is clear
that nearly all crops have fair
chance Of at least an average yield,
Nature never quits" The heaviest
handicaps are attacked with energy.
The worst eccentricities Of the eli,
mate are offset, in large measure, by
gains in other directions as soon as
the weather becomes normal.

Young Women, Who Also Jumped,

drowning rather than being struck

Rhinelander and Frank Meyers. a
machinist of Milwaukee, jumped on
a railroad bridge into Minocqua lake

The five young people started to
run, but when they were within flfty
yards of the end of the bridge they
realized that they could not reach
safety. 1t was single track bridge
and the only avenue of escape was
to jump into the lake.
With the train but few yards
away, the five leaped into the lake.
Miss Walters could not swim. She
screamed for help and Meyers went
to her aid. He placed an arm about
her and started for shore, but the
young woman grasped him about the
neck. Meyers, unable to shake him
self free, sank with the girl.
The two bodies were recovered soon
after the accident Efforts to res
uscitate them were fruitless. The
other three girls were picked up near

The astounding and gratifying fact
is claimed that in the last half cen.
fury an average of IL years has been
added to the period of human life.
Since the first actual records were ia.
ken in New York City in the middle
eos, the rate Of mortality has been re-
duced from 35 deaths in each thous.
and inhabitants to about Is or 16.
This reduction has resulted from the
control of infectious disease. The saw
ing thus made relates only to the pc
Rod of life under so years. There is
no saving knowledge regarding the or
ganic diseases of advancing years,
which affiict especially those who
have been active in affairs and who
are taxed with large responsibilities.
