New York's Debt a Billion.

The public debt of New York City is
now greater than the national debt of
the whole United States, according to
figures justscompiled by the Merchants
Association. According to them. Fa-
ther Knickerbocker now owes 81 1881, =
600 or a few million dollars more
than the sum for which Uncle Sam is
liable thus making that city the first
billion dollar debt municipality in the
country Just what this swollen in
debtedness actually means is better in
dictated by the fact that New York
now owes more than five times as
much as Chicago, Philadelphia and
Boston combined. Great as is this
debt these interesting figures indicate
that the development Of the city il

The Harvest of wild Oats. +"

Startling figures are furnished by the
Census Bureau, if you pause to con.
slider what they mean. In the regis
tration area" (about half of the United
States1 $4,000 more males than females
died last year. Three -fourths of these
deaths, we are told, came between the
ages of Is and GA years.
Do you ask an Interpretation of this
surprising discovery in our vital statis-
tics-why nearly if not quite 10000
more males die Chiefly in prime of life)
than females? We should reply that
more boys than girls are led into sin
full habits.
What our young men are SO apt in
street parlancc to term, the good old
booze" is largely responsible. That
and other foolish practices due to
lack of moral and religious training in

The influences of the street are tax

manhood. Blind to all demonstrations
deaf to all entreaty and argument, the
average young idiot sows his wild
oats" and he reaps the harvest when
he ought to be of the most benefit to
himself and the world.
In Bible classes and mems clubs of
the churches, thinking men discuss
these things and pray for wisdom and
strength. But as yet no way has been
discovered to check the speed with
which evil communications travel. cor

families.

leading men do not go to the churches
for one little hour out of the 16S, to

The space between the church and

We are told in statistics from the
