DEATH IN MANY FORMS.
Over Fifty Thousand Ways of Shuffling
Off This Mortal Coil.
In 1890 am ingenious Frenchman
calculated t'hat there were 17,000 different
ways of get ting off the earth,
says a writer in Manchester. Ideas. I
estimate that the advance of civilian-!
lion and progress lias now increased (
the figures of 52,500. Statistics
prove that. 1,700 people .die every I
year through swallowing things such
as pins, needles, studs, buttons, pieces \
of hone, unmasticatcd meat and j
false teeth. This is due to hurry.
In London -alone there are 4,000
street accidents per month. These accidents
arise almost entirely from the'
anxiety of the populace to get there j
quick. There is no other reason whv '
cahs. motors, bicycles, carts, train j
cars, and parcel vans should ?i?1

!i>TTON CONSUMPTION
IN THE UNITED STATES
w York Commercial and Financial
riic preliminary report uf the cenbureau
on cotton consumption in
I 'nilod Stales for the year eii'lAngust
31, 1908, recently issuer],
wed that during- the period eoverMie
mills of the South consumed
>0,013 bales, against 2,410,993 bales
1900-07, or a falling off of only
,380 balse (0.4 per cent.), whereas
lie same interval Northern estabinents
exhibited a decline of 255,bales
(0.9 per cent.). This ccnbureau
report, so far as it applies
Southern consumption, is in ap<itniate
agreement with the
ilt disclosed in our anI
cotton crop report issued
I ember <!, and shows, as President
SPinley of I he Southern raihvav in effect
says, that (he cotton mill industry
of the South suffered less during
the period of" general business depression
than (lie mills Ln other sections
of the country, and this notwithstanding
tlie falling off in (lie
trade for China, upon which mqn.v
Southern mills plncc large dependence.
With good reason Mr. Kinlev
looks upon (he report as furnishing
additional evidence of (lie superior
advantages of (lie Sou 111 as the location
for cotton mills.
The strides the South has taken in
cotton manufacturing in recent years
and the comparatively moderate decline
in the volume of consumption
last season is certainly a cause for
satisfaction and gratification. From
an average weekly consumption of
less than 3.000 bales per week 30
yoars ago?i? 1877-78?there was a
^gateady and quite rapid advance, until

Statistics prove that home is a "

have undermined home with
deadly wires and pipes, gas that may ,
