rhs Lssssnina Death Rate.

Some of the greatest advances Of
civilization are made silently. They
escape the flourish OF trumpets, while
other much less important advances
are accompanied by incessant drum
beating and pyrotechnics. The diminu-
ton of the death rate is one of the
signal triumphs of modern enlighten-
ment. 1t is also one of the most po-
tent checks on economic waste. The
average age of each generation is be-
ing materially heightened. and that re-
suit is chiefly being reached by stop
ping the excessive loss of infant life.
Yet few persons realize the extent of
the beneficent progress thus made or
what 1t has meant In the way Of i'm
creasing the sum total of human hap
piness and efficiency.-New York Trib-
une.

previous to dinner on the evening of
his arrival. he noticed a clergyman sit
ting by the open fire and taking no
part In the general conversation. The
bishop was somewhat surprised at not
being presented to the clergyman, and
his establishment was great when n
few moments later. dinner being an.
nounced. the guests retired, leaving the
clergyman at his place by the Ere. The
hostess having assigned Bishop VIII
