The Perils of Bow Babies.

1t is q perplexing fact that while more
boys are born than girls, there is a sur
plus OF female population. OF the
children born in this city during last
year, l4,O6S we're males and 1928 fe-
males, and yet it is impossible for $751;
837 members of the gentler sex in this
country to find husbands without inyeig
ling an equal number of males to com
mt bigamy. 1t has commonly been sup
posed that war and the hardships and
hazards peculiar to their manner of life
are the cause Of the excess or mortali-
ity among males, but writer in an
English medical journal presents statis-
tics to show that four per cent, more
boys than girls die before reaching the
age Of five years, and intimatcs that an
explanation is to be found in the differ
ence III nursing the two sexes receive.
He does not say whether boy babies are
Rugged too much or pinched to death
by their fair attendants, but reform
ia the method Of their treatment ap-
pears to be imperative. The writer ia
whom reference is here made is ungal-
liant enough to suggest that the excess Of
mortality among male infants NAV be
due in part to Il higher organism chan
that of girls, but of course the explana.
t on is unworthy Of consideration, Our
fair friends will perceive the gravity OF
this subject, for the preservation Of boy
babies IS essential to the supply Of the
demand for husbands. There are near
y a.million less males than females ii
