According to Hip seventh nniu.il re port of the pivernnicnt on stiilillcs of mortality for the jo:ir !!'. for cltleit containing as much as 10 per eent r over of colored people, tin' death ralu of the white population vvni 17.2 per thousand and that of the ncixrii raeo 28.1, or more than fin. per rent higher. In tbe state of Maryland the mortal ity rate for the colored w.m 321.fi in compared wllb tlfi.l for the white, and similar high rales of death In the ncjrro race arc shown for all cltlct with a large colored population. Tor Instance, In Mobile, Ala., the rate for tho colored was 02B.2 nnd for the while S12. Here Is n statistical study. Ever stneo the negroes were set free Tho fioath rate has been Increasing, nnd this Increase has been made the basis of n claim lint extermination by dls easo would ultimately solve the race problem. Iloanoko Times. Advancing Microscopy. By n recent Invention the wonders revealed by the ordinary microscope are Increased n -hundredfold. Hence forth students may uso n high power lens as large as six Inches In diameter, thus bringing the whole of objects In stead of details only under observa tion. Dy this, means n common house Oy la magnified nil at once till It ap pears to lie ns large as an ostrich. Being Inclosed In nn open space, where It Is kept directly within the field of tho glass and yet has ample room, considering Its size, to move ntiout ami engage In Its usual occupations, tbe opportunities for observation are Im mensely In advance of anything pre viously enjoyed by scientists. American Princetsts. Two princesses, representatives of the only real American royalty, de scendants of that Mnss.isoll whose wont was law to thirty villages and 80,000 red men, arc living In poverty on the shores of Lake Aamwutupsctt, Massachusetts. They are Towcelooma and Wootonekanttske. An effort Is being mado to n-cure for Hies last of 'the royal blood of the W'ompanoags a 1 msterlal recognition of their tights and of the services which their nnecs tor, tho mighty sachem Mnsaolt, per formed for tbe pioneers of Now Eng land, for without Mass.inlt's friend ship and protection the struggling colo nists would hnvo been swept from tho land. Argonaut. The Qrain'to Biscuit Record.

Tills Is snld to beat tho previous record held by n Ulnncapolls mill by twenty-nine min iates. The Minneapolis record was mado Rcveral ,enrs ago and might bo (Improved on nl this time, but until tho 'Minnesota farmers begin using com bined harvesters and other up to date machinery such ns have made tho Pa cific northwest famous the record will remain on this side of tho ltocky moun tains.

At this lime a ma jority of the sheep of the country nro raised for mutton, nud wool Is the In cident. Twenty-flvo years ago sheep were sent to market when they wen four or live years old anil averaged eighty to nlucty-flvo pounds. Now sheep are marketed earlier anil average 105 to 120 pounds. The ewes sold In 'the market nt the pret-ent outweigh 'tho wethers of former years. National Parmer. 'An Accessible Governor. On tho glass of the double doors lend ing to tho offices of the governor of Massachusetts there Is printed this cordial Invitation: "Walk In." And many visitors to the famous state houso lieneath the golden dome op Beacon hill who might otherwise pass by contenting themselves with furtive (glances feel that hero Is n welcome so plain and cordial that nn.u timidity they might nthorvvNo i conscious of Is entirely dispelled. -National Magazine.

Prater Park. Tho largest park In Kuropo Is the Trater, In Vienna, measn log eighty square miles. tTnele Sam's Forester. Thirty-nine young graduates of our Lnllmial forestry schools have lately repaired appointments rs assistants In the forest service. There Is a growing lutcrctt lu the profession of forestry, end many young men are asking how to get Into It and what rewards It promises. Itecintly the chief of the forest service wrote on this subject as follows: To be a irood forester a man should eomMne something of the tmtunill.t with a trcM deal of tho 1,u1iuim man. To know how to u the forst he must be AbU to study tt Inmost hav, thern for, tho iiower of cssr.-citon, a fond ness for nature and t a ability to pene trate her secrets. Hut If hs la to fiuc ceed ha must also have good practical Judgment and th ability to hainlui men. ltu must by resourceful, able to stand by himself. wUUng to undergo the. privations of rouffh life and catmble of oontnmndtnx the rsspeet of rough men, who tiutekly rceojrnlse virility nnd aenulnenem of character, but will not tolerate pretense, or the Assumption of authority. A for ester needs a vigorous mind In n rigor ous body. He must bo of tho kind that likes to get tMogs done and does not give up when things are not gotng his way. He srUl have to fsco duncultles and work out problems far from outsldo hetp. relying solely upon himself. He ought to be bard to whip. On tho national forests Uie assistants often act as advisers to tbe super visors In charge, who nre experienced In all practical matters, but liave not had technical training In the science of forestry, or the assistants may be assigned to tho ntudy of some particu lar problem which needs to be investi gated in tho interest of good forest management. As scientific forestry means knowing bow to get the most out of a given piece of land, It calls for studies and exivrlments, lsth sci entific and practical, much like those which have to lie made In the Interest of good farm management. If tbe for ester's temperament Is scientific he will have the Joy of the discoverer nnd organizer of knowledge In on almost Tlrglu field, nnd If It lie practical ho will have the chance of sharing In u national work of viral Importance to tho people of the pnwent day and of the future. "Dean of American Playwrights." Financial success lu n new and diffi cult profession was by tin means the boIc reason for calling the late Itronson Howard the "dean of American play wrights." He wrote for nn active the ater and produced plays to meet the requirements of his time. Hut he worked carefully nnd conscientiously, and his plays by winning recognition from the public opened the way for native effort Mr. nowanl himself struggled long for recognition. When he began for eign adaptations were the vogue here and disputed the field with the clas sical drama. Tho first to pnsluee n noward play, Augusttu Daly, was him self an adept nt adaptation. It whs easier nnd cheaper for n manager to borrow plays from foreign sources or pirate them, as tho phrase was, than to experiment with the efforts of na tive authors. Howard fought for the recognition of American authors, and if his direct Influence was ephemeral Ms general service to tho American drama was considerable. When he lie gan there was little Interest nmong playgoers in purely American types and more especially none In distinctly American themes. Nowadays man agers give the preference to plays deal ing wholly with American life, nnd the New theater, which proposes to strike out In now paths, announces tbnt the American typo of play will bo made the most of on Its boards. Oeorge Bronson noward, tho novelist, should not lw confounded with the family of tho dead dramatist. Mr. Howard bad no children, nnd It is said that the nov elist was not related to him In any way. Moral Law and the State. A forward march of tho school teachers In the right direction Is what tho Chicago Interior calls tbe action of the National Education association with respect to tbo lllhlo In the schools nt the recent annual conven tion. Tho action referred to was a resolution npou the subject of charac ter training, ns follows: Wo earnestly recommend to boards of education, principals and teachers tho continuous training of pupils In morals and In business and professional ethics to the end that the coming generation of men of affairs may havo a well developed abhorrence of unfair dealing and dis crimination. Tho National Education association wishes to record Its upproval of thu In creasing appreciation among educators of the fact that tho butldtng of character fs tho real aim of tho schools. We hope for such a change of public sentiment as will permit and encourugn tho reading nnd study of the KngllAh Bible. Tho Interior holds that the above declaration for tho lllhlo as a stand ard of moral ethics Is especially satis factory because the stato has the un disputed right to uphold n "social mo rality which covers Justice and truth tietween man and man," and what It Intends to maintain ns tho standards of conduct It should duly Inform Its citizens of in advance. Arguing for tho Blblo as tho standard, tho In terior cites tbo teachings of secular history "that nations which havo ob served the morality of tho Scriptures have bceu strong nations, of perslst '".S vitality nnd steadfast orderliness." Campaign contributors are oxpccti-d to Is-stow- their nnnoy with the same generous freedom with which tho less nllluent auditor bestows his applause. And If the funds uro lu proportion to tho cheering nt Chicago and Denver It will bo n record for contributions. Our Heeprct For Law.

The t-utlro Mifi'raglst mission was conducted with n ulimv of decorum vastly different from the dem onstrations of zealous suffragettes which havo recently marred tbe peace of British statesmen.
