The clouds came up quickly, and for a
time the Western heavens had every indica-
tion of an approaching windstorm. When
it arrived it was accompanied by a very stiff
gale, though not of sufficient force to do any
considerable damage. For a short time the
refreshing and welcome clouds poured down

down to I0O within q few minutes. The

Negro Minority.

Ficm he L0VtsriH6 C0uIiey-J0UrHn
Even without the aid of immigration
the white man will increase in this
country more rapidly than the blacks. In
the United States the negro is north of his
true habitat. He flourishcs best in the
West Indies and other countries where
the tropical climate helps him aud pulls
down the whites He was able to drive
the white man ont of Iayti because the
white man lost his vigor there. He can
not do IL in this country. Here civiliza-
tod Is year by year pressing more heavily
upon the negro. lie must do one of two
things. lie must advance rs the whites
advance, or be snuffed out He is sur
rounded by u vigorous race, whose civili-
zation Is constantly becoming more com
plex Rubbing his elbows against such
people the negro finds that his own neces-
stiles increase and in order to supply them
he must think harder and work harder.
The negro can stand as much work rs
anybody, but not us much thinking.
When he is forced to use his brain con-
stantly he loses some of his race charac-
tcristics and one of them is that animal
fertility which for while threatened the
Gulf States with a steadily increasing
black prcponderance. But now he is
forced to come into the struggle of life on
the white mans terms. He cannot live
in the South as he would in Hayti or the
Congo Valley, and as he succeeded in
doing for a while after emancipation.
Only under the latter conditions can he
increase rapidly. As society is constitute
in this country II is with him case of
the survival of the fittest.
IL will not be surprising If, in q few de-
cadcs, the negroes cease to increase at all.
Every circumstance indicates that result,
and later he will begin to disappear in the
white mass. Some day the negro prob
lem will be no problem ut all.

Fannie Kembie ON America.

American is the direct defendant of
Irish beauty; the lovely hair, teeth, eyes
and complexion of Erin's daughters trans
planted across the cAtlantic derive in the
second and third generation from change
of climate and diet and various other ia
vorable influences, a character of refine
ment las well as intermarriage with Amer
icans) which is not Irish; the features be-
come sharper, the figure lighter, the
hands and feet smaller, and the whole re-
suit is that delicate and brilliant beauty,
remarkable alike for elegance of form and
vividness of color, by which American
women are distinguished.
You ask me If American men are like
the English? No; American gentlemen
are u cross between the English and
French men, and yet really altogether
like neither. They are more refined and
modest than Frenchmcn and less manly,
shy and rough than Englishmen. Their
brains are finer and ilinisier their bodies
less vigorous and robust than ours. We
are the finer animals and they the subtler
spirits. Their intellectual tendency Is to
excitement and insanity, and ours to
stagnation and stupidity.
! think American women, compared
with others, deficient in natural animal
love of offspring | think many things
in their climate, education and modes ol
life produce this result; morally and in,
tellectually they are very good mothers
but not physically, and they and theii
children are the worse for it.--Fann,
