THE Cleveland Plain Dealer concludes
an editorial on the Panama canal swim
die with the following sensible words:
The story of the Panama canal scheme
is full of suggestions and warning to
those who are enthusiastic in the sdvO-
cacy of oth,r plans of piercing the 18th
mus No undertaking of that character
should be entered upon undl after the
most searching investigation as to its
feasibility and cost. and without being
thoroughly safeguarded against reueti
ton of the Panama canal experiences.
Those who claim the impossibilily of
such extravaganza, swind!iU g and corrup-
ton in work of such Importance under
American control, must have forgotten
the disgraceFul story OF the Credit No
bilier of America.

Queen EIizabeth's Amulet.

Queen Elizabeth during her last illness
wore around her neck charm made of
gold which had been bequeathed her by an
old woman in Wales, who declared that so
long as the queen wore it she would never
be i'll. The amulet, as was generally the
case, proved of no avail, and Elizabeth.
Notwithstanding her faith in the charm.
not only sickened, but died. During the
plague in London people wore amulets to
keep off the dread destroyer. Amulets of
arsenic were worn near the heart Quilts
OF quicksilver were hung around the neck,
and also the powder of toads-Detroit

The failure of young men to marry has
compelled hundreds of thousands of young
won;cs to earn an Independent living. All
honor to the girls who work, but the
divine plan was that men should be the
bread earners and that women should be
the center of homes Whenever such a fun
damental law of society as this is violated
retribution is inevitable. There are today
upward of 1000, 900 women in the United
States who make a living by professional
and personal services, such as the practice
of law and medicine, the teaching of music
and art work, clerical service of one sort
Or another in government and other offices,
quite apart from the army of your g women
who serve in stores and toll at mechanical
labor. No one who can look back over n
generation Of time has failed to observe the
extent to which women have become indie
pendent bread earners within comparative
ly recent years, and particularly in those
avenues which education and refined
habits of life have opened up. 1t is in fact
grave social problem where this thing
will end.
1t would seem that this, among other
causes, is accomplishing the purpose which
Nautilus aimed to teach for the memorable
conclusions of the statistician show that
the American and Canadian family is
steadily growing smaller. If the average
number per family had been as great in
1890 as in 1862 there would have been g.
100000 people in the United States and
10000 in Canada above what the censuses
revealed. This is fact of farreaching i'm.
portance, and applies its force in other di-
rections than the subject of this article.
Is there a remedy? Certainly there is
none which can be easily and readily ap-
piled. Two hundred years ago, guided
largely by the Jesuits, the jealous King
Louis of France made stern laws for the
government of this young colony in respect
to marriage. He decreed that every father
having a son eighteen years of age or
daughter of fifteen should be held accoun.
