Death Rate Among Physicians.

Last year 2,1S6 physicians died In
the United States and Canada, or
about IA per thousand. Their aver
age age at death was nearly sixty
years. very high average, or to be
exact, hfty-nine years. eleven months
and five days. Four years ago, ac-
cording to a special census report the
average age at death was for men
9s-2 per thousand and for women 400.
From which 1t viii be seen that 1t is
rather lucky after all TO be woman.
and that physicians are particularly
fortunate In their power of resistance
to their own medicine.

The latest rival of the British tank"

especially to take moving picture film
In war territory. The only specimen
Of this new craft Is now being oper-
Nted on the Mexican border, where it

special construction to support the

Of the space Of the back seat; big

1t ancient Idea cherished through many
generations that ST. Valentines day was the day of
mating for birds well as for men and women
Herrick refers to this charming fancy in this
lovely valentine
OFT have heard both youths and virgins say
Birds chose their mates and couples too, this day.
But by their flight never divine

Lovers less talented who found rhyming on
their own account exceedingly difficult were obliged
60 resort TO books which were regularly published
with view to supplying valentine and
replies appropriate to all stations In life and all
trades These verses. published in small volumes,
with highly colored frontlspeces were not usually
OF the Hottest order.
Reply valentines very much the fashion for
time were those In which there was play of
words upon some particular calling A valentine

those supplied In little book published In Lon

My brow with antlers from Cape Horn.
Thus prudence makes me to decline
Your company, my Valentine.
To this the reply was tart, not to say shrewish.
Indeed, more polite age would scarcely
care to hear crude letter from a feminine
versher These valentine books from which most
of the oveorn SWANS of the early eighteenth
century culled the lines that they wrote to their
loves were published in collections bearing such
titles "Cuplds Directory" "Carvalho's Polite
Valentine Writer" and "The Frolicsome Valentine
Writer" the last collection containing many
examples of early eighteenth-century humor of
sort which almost reconciles to the merry
professional jests of ones own era.
The Manufactured Valentine
It was girl who started the business of manu-
featuring valentines for sale In the United States
most enterprising girl named Esther Rowland
who had just been graduated from Mount Hoiyoke
seminary and resided with her father in Worces-
ter. Mass. In 1S49 she received from England a
manufactured valentine. the first she had ever
1t interested her much that she decided
to see whether she could make some of these val
entines and find sale for them With lace paper
cut-out pictures and printed verses she manu-
featured several samples and gave them to her
brother to take out on the road to show custom
when he went his trip for their fathers

err returned with orders for $1,000 worth of val
entnes. Miss How nd. of course. quite I'M

her young woman riends TO her assistance. and
they immediately s. lrted what later developed into
very large and pf osperous valentine manufacture

100000 worth of valentines each season.
