Few College Students Die. The death rate in colleges is extremely low. The strict attention to the physique is given as the reason. Others, as well, may have health and strength.

A Pretty Booklet.

“The best of everything” is the keynote of the success of The .Chicago and Northwestern Railway. In the equipment and furnishings of its magnificent passenger trains the best of everything is sumptuously used for the pleasure and comfort of the traveling public. The lit erature of the Northwestern line is also in keeping with this well-known motto. The passenger department has recently issued a little brochure describing scenes along the route of the famous electric lighted Northwestern- Limited, which is an artistic gem. This little booklet con tains a number of elegant half-tone engravings—glimpses of principal cities, nature’s freaks and scenes between Chicago and the Twin Cities. It is the latest and handsomest effort of the printers’ and engravers’ art in modern bookmaking. Four cents in stamps, sent to W. B. Kniskcrn, 22 Fifth avenue, Chicago, will secure a copy of this beautiful souvenir.

FACTS ABOUT THE CENSUS.

The most difficult task of a census enumerator is to obtain information about the ages of people. It is assumed that a woman may lie about her age and a man about the fish he catches without committing sin, but the phenomenon goes still further. Young people usually want to be considered old. middle-aged people report themselves -yopnger than they are and very old people will add a few years to their actual age. Children under 15 throw their ages forward to 16.'girls stretch a point to be'lß Mid boys 19 or more always like to be considered men. Therefore the age returns of it census are usually more incorrect than any other, and it is impossible to determine accurately whether the average duration of life is increasing or deci-casing. It is impossible, for the same reason, to ascertain the death rate, the number of men of military' age; whether negroes die earlier than whites: whether the laboring part of the population live longer than those of sedentary occupation: whether criminals are recruited from the younger or older element of society: whether the employment of children is increasing or decreasing, and many other estimates whose value is "threatened' by the inaccuracy of the age statistics. Experienced enumerators have found that the tendency of people is to represent themselves younger than they actually are. This impulse seems to be irresistible between the ages of 25 and 60. The greatest proportion of errors is at' the 60th year, but the greatest number is at the 30th year or 40th year. At this fatal Rubicon people usually falter. In 1890 there Were 618,6-11 persons reported as 39 years of age, 1.037,336 as 40 and 486.853 persons as 41. Among women 500,774 wow 1 reported to be 40. 290,977 39, 224.551 41. With a fairly steady flow of immigration and a stationary or increasing population there ought always to be fewer persons of a given age than of any single age preceding; less people 50 years old than 49 and so on. But census tables invariably show the reverse.

STRIKE TIES UP MILLIONS.

Chicago Capital Lying Idle Pending Settlement of Labor Troubles. —'While the contractors andworkmen of Chicago are engaged in Their desperate struggle millions of dollars Lhat would under ordinary circumstances find, circulation are tied up. The amount is variously estimated from $16,000,000 to $50,fMXi.OOO. The effect is f«‘lt not only iu Ghicago, but throughout the entire country. A few days ago the expense of the building trades’ contest was estimated at $20,000,000 up to that time. "With each passing day the loss has increased. Contractors and workmen alike arc beginning to concede that much of this will never be invested in building operations now. The most conservative element agrees that it will be withheld for at least a year. Aside from the buildings that are under way and that have been delayed, preventing the capital invested from becoming productive, there are numerous big enterprises that will not be undertaken until the labor war is ended. A number of buildings contemplated for Erection this spring have now been abandoned. Among the big enterprises tiocl up the following have- been made public: Chicago postollii-e $3,000,000 Blaine school 300,000 Car shop and hoi factory for An-glo-American Provision Co 130,000 Railroad terminals at Stickney tract (estimated) $500,000 to 1.500,000 Waller high school, George Dewey, Calumet Avenue, Charles W. t Earle, Prescott, Darwin and Madison Avenue schools 500,000 Tlie schools an* all under roof and 75 per cent of the way toward completion. No further progress can be made, however, until the strike is over.

THE RAILROADS

Work is being pushed upon the Rock Island extension from Kingfisher to Guthrie. A new station, to cost $30,000, will be built by the Chicago and Northwestern road at Beloit, Wis. It is said that tin* proposed electric railway between Aurora and Chicago via Wheaton will be built this year. Western roads are trying to rea<-h an agreement to contribute no cash toward the promotion of “street fairs” and similar enterprises. A plan is on foot looking to the consolidation of ail the elevated railroads of Chicago with an aggregate stock of more than $51,000,000. Tlie Burlington road will run summer excursions betw<*en Colorado and Chicago similar to those recently announced by the Rock Island. St. Louis traveling salesmen are trying to induce the railroads to issue interchangeable excess baggage tickets, to be sold at a discount. The “Soo" line ran its first, “homeseekers' excursion" on May 1 from the Nortliwe'At'to New York. Boston and several cities in eastern Canada. After several months of great inconvenience and marked financial losses the Chicago terminal lines have succeeded in lifting the blockade of freight cars in the local yards and have smothered the freight car famine out of existence. The Union Pacific has announced its intention of re-establishing the f<»eding-in-transit rule for stock, for which no additional freight barges will Im- made. The Northern Pacific inaugurated its double daily train service to the Pacific coast from St. Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth to Helena. Butte, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland.• An order was recently issued by the Southern Railway, applicable to South Carolina and Georgia, prohibiting the use of cigarettes by employes and forbidding the future employment of cigarette smokers.

As Others See Him.

She—Mr. Murkleton always agrees to everything his wife says. I hate a man like that. Why doesn't he show spirit and try to have a mind of own sometimes? I don’t believe the man knows beans.

SEE TO THE WALLS.

A Danger in Schoolrooms and How to Prevent It. Owing to ,the gathering of so many different classes of persons therein, tire interior walls of churches, school houses, hospitals, etc., are apt to become repositories of disease germs unless preventive measures are taken. These walls should always be coated with a clean and pure cement, such as Alabastlne, which is disinfectant in its nature and more convenient to renew and retint than any other wall coating. The first.cost is no greater than for Inferior work, while renewals are more easily and cheaply made. The art of dentistry was introduced into New York by John Greenwood in 1788. He is said to have made the first artificial teeth ever manufactured in this country. The average amount of sickness in htiman life is 10 days’ per annum.
