Results Announced of a Special Inquiry by the Census Bureau. The division of vital statistics of the Census Office has prepared a bulletin, says the Washington Star, containing a summary of the results of a special inquiry concerning the Jews in this country. A special schedule was prepared calling for details of age, sex, conjugal condition, place of birth, occupation, of each person in the family reported who was living on the 31st of December, 1889, and of certain details concerning births, marriages and deaths occurring in the family for the five years ended on that These schedules were to datstributed heads of Jewish families in all parts of the United States, the necessary names and addresses being obtained from rabbis of congregations and officers of different societies. No effort was made to obtain complete returns from all the Jews in the country, nor to develop any facts concerning religious or commercial questions, but merely to obtain data from a sufficient number of families who have been in the United States five or more years to afford some reliable deductions concerning the effect of residence under the conditions of life in this country as contrasted with those elsewhere. The inquiry resulted in the return of 10,618 completed family schedules, embracing 60,630 living persons on the 31st December, 1889, and in these families there had been 2,148 marriages, 6,038 births, and 2,062 deaths during the five years ending that date.

The social condition of the families is indicated to some extent by the number of servants kept by them, and, as about two-thirds are reported as keeping one or more servants, the families reported may be said to be in easy circumstances. The average number of persons to each family on December 31, 1889, was 5.71, and the average annual number for the five years covered by these statistics was 5.47. The average annual number of marriages per 1,000 of total population was much lower than the general rate, being but 7.4, as against 18 to 22 per 1,000 in the Eastern States; and the average age at marriage, is greater than among the general population. The low marriage rate and the increased average age at marriage are the principal reasons for the low birth rate. The deaths reported for the five years give an average annual death rate of 7.11 per 1,000 of population, being about half of the average rate for the general population.

The expectation of life at the age of 10 years, based upon the death rate for the year 1889, is 61.11 and 56.02 years for males and females, respectively, as against 49.99 and 48.05 as calculated by life insurance companies for'the gener. population of this country. Contrasting the birth and death rates for those of native-born and foreignborn parents indicates that the birth rate is decreasing and the death rate increasing with more prolonged residence in this country, but the general results indicate that the Jews here retain many of the peculiarities which have been noted among them in Europe. DUTCH DIAMONDS. The Influence Upon the Industry of a Reduction in Prices.

Last year was a very serious one for the Dutch diamond industry, says the London Times, which was nearly paralyzed by the action of the De Beers Company, of Kimberley, in reducing the production of the raw diamond from four million to two million carats per annum in order to keep up prices. The price of raw diamonds rose more than one hundred per cent. at the mines, and it proved impossible to obtain a proportionate advance for the cut article. This state of things, says the British Consul at Amsterdam in his last report, coming on top of too great an inflation in the cutting industry in Amsterdam, created the greatest distress among the diamond workers, who, as a class, have the reputation of being very thriftless. For several months at the close of the year orders for cut diamonds were altogether wanting, and not only were a great number of families reduced to absolute destitution, but most of the new cutting mills, which have been erected of late, were closed and will probably have to be devoted to other purposes.

Since the close of the year the position of the diamond works rather improved. The price of cut diamonds has risen so far as to give some margin for the cost of cutting, but the demand is by no means sufficient to keep the mills and diamond workers of the city ployed. A good deal of cutting is now done there for London account direct. PUNGENT 1RAPHS. -The Romans etched their public records on brass.

A bright-eyed young woman, with rich color in her cheeks, ran up the stairway of a business building on lower Broadway one afternoon recently, and threw a little bundle upon a counter before a young man.

"I want that silver plated, please," she said. The young man bowed, untied the bundle, and revealed a small slipper. He smiled. "It will be done next Tuesday, ma'am," he said. "That pretty girl," he said later on, "is bride.

That slipper is one that her friends threw after her when the carriage rolled away with her husband and herself inside after the wedding recepwhat on earth does she want it silver-plated for? and how can it be silver-plated?" "Why, that's a fashionable whim at the present time, and we are kept busy filling orders. It has come to be the proper thing to silver-plate any that may call up pleasant remembrances. We silver-plate babies' shoes, clam shells, oyster shells, pipes, ink bottles, sponges, lead pencils--any and everything, in fact, to which a silver coating can be applied. One of the neatest souvenirs is a slipper such as that girl brought in, and it is something that a bride naturally prizes. It makes an odd and handsome ornament for the mantel or the dresser of the boudoir.

The process isn't expensive, and besides the plating can be applied in a variety of ways, entirely covering the object or leaving it partly, exposed. One of the most curious looking things is a pipe with a bowl and stem partly silverplated, revealing oddly by this treatment glimpses of the wood of the pipe." Another and somewhat similar ornamentation just now attracting attention is the Mexican process of coating fruit and other edibles with a layer of indestructible wax. The fruit is arranged on a dish and placed on a table or a mantel, anywhere that may please the fancy of the owner. Considerable amusement is caused when a visitor, at the invitation of the host or hostess, undertakes to take some of the fruit and discovers its deceptive character. The work is very cleverly done, indeed, and in all sorts of designs.

Some dishes have sliced tomatoes, others sliced bananas, and still others sliced peaches. Dishes of beans and other edibles are also treated with the wax coating. The dishes complete cost $2.50 each. -N. Y.

Sun. FACIAL GYMNASTICS. How One's Countenance Becomes the Index of One's Character. The face is the index, the mirror of thought. "Watch a man's face, note the eye flash, catch the expression, and you know the man; no need of says the Lavater of to-day, the man shrewd business tact.

And so it is in truth, since, with pity be it said, Talleyrand is often right: "Words are used but to conceal thought." When thought is sufficiently strong to stir the nature, it shows itself first in the wake-up oft the eye, as most closely connected with the brain. It next spreads its impulse over the face, moving some muscle of mouth or cheek or brow, and, if not spent, according to its force, sweeps outward to arm and hand, and perhaps finally presses the body into action. Gesture is any movement of muscle which follows or expresses emotion. It is continued face gesture, frequently useless, from year to year, which brings wrinkled age. One should recognize that there is all the difference in the world between the impulse of genuine emotion and feeling, with the natural gestures and play of face and feature, and those multitudinous and incessant facial gymnastics with which conversation is frequently absurdly enlivened and embellished.

The same may be said of the extreme use of the arm and hand, slashing, pounding and pointing, when no such force is needed; it rarely is in the gentle flow of social life. It is, however, much a matter of temperament and climate. One finds those of Southern clime and warm blood, or of light, volatile nature, as the French, depending upon action to help the words; but be it remembered that it is in effect still the same-a waste of force and energy. The woman who continually stretches her eyes, twists, screws and contracts her lips in mouthing her words a and sentences, however charming, forming habits of muscle use which will surely trace premature and indelible -Harper's Bazar -Artillery Lieutenant (in the way of a compliment) my dear young lady, looks--your glances go right home.

O. Thacher, died at 10:80 o'clock Thursday morning at the residence of her father on South Tennessee street. The death was quite unexpected and will be received with great sorrow by the many friends of the family in this city. Mrs. Henry was taken with a bad cold the 10th inst, brought on acute laryngitis, She was getting along, fairly well, but took another bad cold which brought on another attack.

Mr. A. G. Eidemiller died at his resi- dence, 1003 Tennessee street, at 1:30 Wednesday afternoon. Mr.

Eldemiller had been slowly failing for a long time, and although his death was expected at any time, it is a severe blow to the family.

She united with the M. E. church when 17 years of age and was married to Barrett Andrews in 1845. He died in 1859. In 1869 she with her three sons removed to Kansas and settled in the neighborhood where she died last Friday after an illness of less than one week, at the age of 64 years.
