Districts Beeches Figure of 501’" Cent. 9t. Potato“. Jan. 21.4w medl- cni reports presented to the local authorities try the doctors of the Zemstvos reveal an slewing state at things with regard to the infant mortality. It amen.“ that in many of the Governments the proportion of the children who die during the first year Is as high as 40 and even GO per cent. In isolated cases it is even higher. The reports ascribe this terrible mortality mainly to the ignorance of the peasants and to the fact that the mothers have frequent- ly to neglect their children in order to work in the fields. In support of this view, It may be pointed out that the death rate is considerably higher in summer than in winter in spite ot the severity of the climate. Another cause appears to be the growing practice of employing wet nurses. with the result that the nurses" own children have to be fed by artificial means. In this con- nection it is pointed out that the rate of infant mortality is much low- er among the Mohammedan poptrla- tion, where law obliges every mother to nurse her own children. In one. of the Governments, for example, the rate of infant mortality among the Mohammedan is only 140.4 per 1,000. but among the Christians 342.1. In July last Burckhardt and three companions, M. Spalingcr, a Swiss; G. kl Hujlgen, a Hollander, and v. Hogg, an Englishman, were bound up the Canton River to Shun Tack in a houseboat owned by Burckhardt.

I picked it up from tho floor and hurled it through ty window, carrying the glass and the sash with it. Just out- side the window it exploded, and the side of the cabin was shattered with the force of the concussion. My two gaunds were too much for me, mm I ell. "As I lay on the floor one of my companions handed we a. revolver. and, I had the satisfaction of shoot.. ing two or the pirates as I lay there, though I was hit by another bul- let in tho left shoulder.
