much attention to the development OF
excellent family strains as it now does
to the development of good breeds OF

Life Insurance Tables.

quently upon a higher death rate than
now exists. Just now a new set OF
experience tables for the population Of
the United States is being made. and
the congress will hear of the progress
of that work through Miles NJ Dawson,
an actuary who is engaged in the con-
structiOH of the tables
Many other subjects Of equal interest
will be discussed in carefully prepared
papers, and every contribution that has
been made in every part OF the world
to the science Of public health statis-
tics will be brought to Washington
and laid before the congress
The vast array of other public health
information which will be brought be-
fore the congress, will be reprinted in
a series of volumes and then will be
disseminated throughout the civilized
world Perhaps the one great misfor-
tune will be that the congress will not
have funds enough to publish all the
transactions in each Of the three great
world tongues-English, French and
German, but each paper will be printed
only in the tongue in which it was
delivered.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About six months ago I met a young
man. who, after a short acquaintance,
confessed his love for me. He has been
very nice to me. has taken me out. and
gave me a Christmas gift But do
not love him at all In fact, hardly
like him, but because he has been so
nice I have been afraid to tell him. All
the while I have been longing to meet
a young man 1 liked great deal At
last the young man 1 had been going
with introduced me to the other one.
and we have been going together since.
Now the first one feels very hurt;
Troubled.
You have been unjust to the young
man in accepting his attentions, and
Will be more than unjust to yourself
if you continue accepting them now
you know your own heart better.
Tell him you can never love him,
and let that end II.
