Is the Race Deteriorating ?

Nj. Hyde Clark, in an English sci.
entifc publication called Nature, de-
clares that the civilized races are be-
coming stunted, and are losing their
vitality, because ofthe unwise human
ity OF the age, which insists ON
preserving the lives of human beings
who, under the ordinary operations of
Natures laws, would be eliminated
from the ranks of the living. In other
words, the sanitary care and protection
TO human life keeps alive human or
ganisms, which, in the ordinary strug-
gle for lie, would die; and, what is
still Orse, they become parents of
cli., en- stEl less fit to live than them
eetsts Nan kills off the weakly ami
mall, and wisely C ntinues the race of
domestic beasts by breeding from the
best and strongest, while at the same
time ne preserves the sick, decrepit,
an d~egeneratiug human beings, and
allows them 10 add to the numbers of
children who never should have been
born. TO prove his case, Mr.. Cl. rk
declares that the average size of the
European head is diminishing, aud he
brings forth the testimony OF matters
to prove that such Is the fact. 1t Is to
be doubted, however, whether Mr..
Clark would convince the world that
it Is Lest to XIII OFT sickly People in
order to improve the race. 1t Is also
very certain the health of Americans
has improved within the last two hun
dred years. Families are not so large
a. they were in olden times, but the
children that are born have q better
hold on life. Our men and women
are plumper and larger than their
t~orefathers, due to a greater variety of
TODD, q growing fondness for t-door
exercise, and shorter hours of labor
bat it is really a question whether
society should Not interfere in some
way to prevent diseased and sickly
people from becoming parents.

Scripture Mama.

Botanists and travellers have been
rather unsuccessful in attempts to as
certain the origin of the different
kinds of mamma known in commerce.
In the Valley of Gohr, to the south OF
the Dead sea, Buckhardt found what
he called mama dropping from twigs
OF several KINDS of trees. According
to his representations, Arabs collect if
and make it into cakes which are
eaten with their nauseous butter made
from the milk of sheep. Mr.. Turner
found a grove of tamarisk trees near
Mount Sinai, in the Valley of Farran,
which furnished what the monks
called mama, They were bushy,
Ten feet higlr from which drops OF
swedish, thick fluid oozed. II taken
early in the morning, before the SUI
is up, it map be kept in earthen pots a
considerable time. 1t ia used In lieu
OF sugar in the convent. Commercial
manna. principally in the hands
Of druggists, is a product Of the
p%unctured stems of the ornus Europe,
growing in Calabria. An article very
similar in appearance aud medicinal
properties is procured in Sicily, by the
same kind of process. Bo, h have a
sweetish taste, are soft, of a pale, yell
lowish color, and used for their mild
la xative quality rather than food.

The Genesis of Jokes.

Hazlett says that, from the begin
ming of the world to the time of Heiro-
Giles, in the early Christian days, man.
kind had perpetrated only about
twenty-one jokes. During nearly s.
600 years the world had only these
twenty-one jokes to laugh at. A new
joke was made on an average every
$50 years. From the time of Heirocles
to the present day the number of
jocose sayings has increased from
twenty. m to pretty nearly 81, 00o, 600,
an enormous proportion of this vast
aggregate, however, consisting of
some. modification or combination of
the original one. A really good auee-
dote has q kind of immortality of its
own. 1t is reproduced In every
known cline and tongue. 1t is pub
lished in a German paper as a part of
the biography Of Bismarck then
translated into English, and connect
ed with Disraeli, and then reproduced
In America, and attributed to some of
our own great statesmen. We have
read stor es about Mr.. Moody which
originated with the priesthood in the
time of the Crusaders, and some of the
sharpest things which Sidney Smith
is supposed to have created, but which
he probably borrowed from the third
or fourth century, are told In cennec-
ton with Mr.. Spurgeon or Mr..
Beecher. However, we laugh at it all
t e same, and the fact that 1t has been
repeated during the last eighteen or
twenty generations does't hurt 1t any
more than 1t hurts a fiddle string to be
used in a great many concerts and for
very different tunes.

Politeness Under Vacations.

usually easy to be polite, but when

Bleeding at the Nose.

There are two little arteries which

on each side these branch from the
main arteries on each side of the wind

eyes over the outside of the Jaw bone,
about two-thirds back from the CHA

supplies just one-half of the face, the
