WASHINGTON.—'The census re
*» turns on the large cities of the
country are now complete. The fig
ures show that most of them have had
a healthy growth during the ten years
since the last count was made, but
some of them have fallen out of the
places they occupied then and their
places have been taken by other cities.
Of the many that have tried, In the
past ten years, to climb into the
100,000 class, only five have succeeded.
Among the ten largest cities there
has been only one important change
of position. Baltimore has lost sixth
place to Cleveland. Baltimore's popu
lation, as officially stated. Is 558,485,
while Cleveland has 560,663. The gain
in Baltimore over 1900 was 9.7 per
cent.
A comparison of 29 cities in the
100,000 class shows that the aggre
gate population la 13,596,819, as
against 10,376,012 in 1900 and 7,904,140
In 1890.
The fact is noted that the high rate
of increase is not confined to any one I
Uncle Sam's Health Zone Far Spread
THE activities of the public health
and marine hospital service, to
which is intrusted most of the g« neral
work of guarding the country against
contagion from abroad and preventing
Its spread at home, form the topic of
a paper by Surgeon General Wyman
in the public health report.
The document was prepared for the
American Public Health association
which recently met at Milwaukee.
This organization is composed of rep
resentatives from Canada, Mexico and
Cuba, as well as from the United
States, and the paper was regarded as
of especial interest to them.
Beginning with "the utmost circum
ference of the influence of the organ
ization." Doctor Wyman tells of the
protective measures at foreign ports.
He shows that medical officers of the
bureau are located in most of the sea
coast cities of Asia and South and
Central America, and at some of those
of Europe. The service also Is liber
ally represented in Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines.

geographical section. Of c'.tica
whose rate exceeded 40 per cent., two,
Newark, N. J., and Bridgeport, Conn.,
are eastern, one, Atlanta, is southern,
and four, Detroit, Denver, Kansas City
and Columbus, are western. Of the
two cities with the lowest rate, one is
eastern and the other is western.
The rates of increase for Atlanta,
Detroit, Denver and Kansas City are
phenomenally high, but most extraor
dinary is the high percentage for New
York, which exceeds the average of
28 citie3 by 11.4 per cent., and is it
self exceeded only by the rates of
seven cities.
Fifty-four cities of between 25,000
and 100,000 show an aggregate popu
lation of 2,723,498, as against 1,901,766
in 1900, a gain of 43.2 per cent., which
the census bureau pronounces "phe
nomenally high." Thirty-one of these
cities show a higher rate of increase
for the past decade than for the previ
ous one. No decrease is noted in any
one of the cities.
Of the larger cities the gain of St.
Louis during the decade was greater
proportionately than that of Boston,
its nearest competitor, while Kansas
City is in twentieth place on the face
of the returns. Kansas City has
jumped ahead of Providence, R. 1., and
Indianapolis, Ind., Providence falling
behind Indianapolis, which it led in
1 1900.
In addition to keeping themselves
and the home office informed regard
ing the prevalence of cholera, yellow
fever, smallpox, typhus and plague,
these officials are required to inspect
American bound vessels and to issue
bills of health, without which the ves
sels might not enter American ports.
During the last fiscal year they in
spected 16,760 vessels and examined
1,433,134 passengers. On board ship
the regulations of these officials fol
low the immigrant, requiring proper
cleanliness and ventilation, and when
the vessel arrives in the United States
it is mot by another set of health
service officers on duty either to en
force quarantine rules or to assist
j the immigration officials in their work.
In the latter capacity the public
health men last year examined 1,280,-
000 immigrants, certifying 30,000 of
them as defective either mentally or
physically.
The paper also abounds in facts
relative to the work of the bureau In
i preventing the spread of Infectious
diseases from one state to another un
der the quarantine law, making espe
cial reference to the work in connec
tion with recent yellow-fever epidem
ics and the plague infection on the
Pacific coast of a few years ago.
The maintenance of the service
costs t! e United States $2,000,000 an
nually.

The keynote of the Indiana cam

was merciless to the Interests, which

Ribbon
By JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
NOTHING Is prettier in ribbon ar
rangements than a bow and ends
in simple or in elaborate designs.
But one may not always arrive at the
desired effect by the use of bows.
A shape may be modified or changed
in appearance by building it in one
direction or another with ribbon ar
ranged in loops. Flower forms may
be copied or simulated, and nothing
is more fashionable than mall, com
pact roses and foliage made of rib
bon.
These examples are given here of
ribbon in unusual arrangements. In
the first a cap-like shape covered with
big velvet poppies is lengthened at
the back with wired loops of heavy
satin ribbon. These bows redeem the
shape, lifting it from the common
! place into one of those which the
French have described as "the fleeting
profile" shapes. They are full of

style. The loops in this instance are
made overloops of boned wire sewed
to the shape at the back.
A pretty drooping brimmed round
hat, having the brim edge finished
with a shirring of velvet, shows plait
ings of ribbon and velvet bows poised
together about the round crown. This
forms a sort of rosette, in which the
plaited ribbon sets, and the result
makes one thing of a flower. In fact,
each velvet and ribbon decoration ia
much like a huge pansy in shape.
The pretty hat, which Is of king's
blue felt, needs no other decoration.
A hat for a miss faced with change
able taffeta gathered in the under
brim, is bound with a puff of velvet.
A collar of ribbon about the crown is
finished with a very full plaiting or
shirring of ribbon at the left front.
Such a hat is ideal for a miss of 16
or more years, and is quite within the
| range of amateur millinery to make.
JEWELS FOR DAY AND NIGHT
Precious and Semi-Precious Stones
Very Much in Evidence on All
Occasions.
With low-cut necks narrow velvet
collars set with three or five gradu
ated ornaments of paste set in old sil
vered metal are smart and becoming
with both afternoon and evening
gowns.
Karrings do much to break the line
of a long neck with a collarless gown.
Lovely new ones are shown in Paris
ian diamonds, colored stones and ba
roque pearls.
A good looking set of earrings has
a bowknot and dangler of diamonds
with baroque drop; another set that
screws on has three baroque pearls,
one above the other, connected by
jeweled chains with amethyst drops.
A shield-shaped corsage ornament
of Parisian diamonds and French em
eralds, with a shoulder catch to cor
respond, gives a. brilliant finish to a
low-neckeil evening gown
The woman of bony neck should
purchase one of the high dog col
lars of rows of seed pearls crossed by
narrow side bars and a square cen
tral bar of Parisian diamonds.
For traveling or sports the watch
bracelet is growing in favor. One of
the new ones has a flexible woven
strap and buckle of gold wire set
with i rid enamel watch studded in
peurls.
On a gray suede wrist strap Is a
small watch of gold rims studded
| with alternate rubles and pearls or

Small Cakes for Various Occasions.
The following recipes are appropri
ate to swve with frozen dishes or
with tea or chocolate. Many delicious
little cakes and cookies may be
bought; but no matter how ttractlve
they are, one, likes the "touch of Indi
viduality which is shown In cakes of
home manufacture:
Chocolate Nut Cake. —Cream three
fourths of a cupful of butter, add one
and a half cupfuls of sugar gradually,
then alternate a half cupful of milk
with two and a quarter cups of flour
sifted with three teaspoonfuls of ba
king powder several times to lnsuro
a thorough mixing, then add three
squares of grated chocolate, a cupful
of broken pecan meats, a teaspoonful
of vanilla and the whites of eight eggs
beaten stiff. A little salt is an Im
provement. Bake in gem pans about
twenty minutes.
Bachelor's Buttons.—Rub together
four tablespoonfuls of butter and ten
tablespoonfuls of flour. Add five ta
blespoonfuls of Bugar to the flour mix
ture and five to two well-beaten eggs,
flavor with anise and combine the two
mixtures. Make In small balls and
bake. Dip In melted rondant and
sprinkle with nuts.
Fondant.—This is the foundation
for French candies and 1b used for
cake frostings. Use four cupfuls of
sugar, one cup of water and a table
spoonful of glucose. 801 l until a little
dropped in water will make a soft,
waxy ball. Cool and stir until white
and creamy. It will keep for weeks
and always be fresh for use by heat
ing over hot water. Keep the fondant
In a dish covered with a waxed paper
and tightly covered, or it will dry and
crumble.
Orange Cakes. —Cream a quarter of
a cupful of butter, add a half cupful
of sugar gradually, the grated rind of
an orange and a tablespoonful of the
Juice, the yolks of two eggs well beat
en. Sift one and two-thirds cups of
flour and half a teaspoonful of cream
of tartar and a quarter of a teaspoon
ful of soda, a pinch of salt. Fold In
the whites of two eggs beaten stiff.
Bake In patty tins and Ice with frost
ing flavored with orange juice.
Wafers. —Cream a half cup of butter,
add a cup of powdered sugar and a
cup and three-fourths of flour, a little
salt and a teaspoonful of vanlllk and
a half cup of milk. Bake on a baking
sheet and cut in squares. Roll imme
diately, before they harden.
T 18 bad enough for an at- !
tractive young miss to bo un
able to make a loaf of bread, j
or broil a steak, or use a needle; but the j
limit Is passed when a college makes her i
such a little idiot as to think It smart to j
boast of It."
Similar remarks we hear every day,
blaming the college education for the
foolishness of a few. When we are
looking for results from college train
ing let us take the average girl, to be j
fair. A man who Is Belling apples
does not show the worst he has In
stock, but the best.
It Is true we meet women occasion- J
ally who consider a lack of knowledge
of household affairs something to
boast of, but let us bo thankful that
they are rare, and they mako them- |
selves a laughing stock among good j
people.
It takes brains to run a house and ;
provide for a family and the woman j
who does the former Is ns much a ;
1 business partner of the one who does
! the latter as the business partner
j down town.
Egg Plant.
Egg plant is such n pretty vegetnble
I to look at, that it always attracts the ;
eye In the market windows. It Is not
' as commonly used as It should he, nor
j is it widely grown In our climate. J
I Here are a few good ways to serve
the plant:
Egg riant With Potatoes.—Peel a
raw ckk plant and cut It up in cub< s
iltg aa hik i» ala*. <ui m «qml
i portion of raw potatoes in slml'ar
cubes. Put the two together In a

spice, turmeric, cinnamon, half a tea
spoonful of red pspper and salt to
! tu*t<-. Cover the pan closely arid let i
the vegetables cook In the water gen
