IS OUR RACE pEGENERAT1Nap
A Question That is Attracting the At
tention of Scientists.

1t has been repeatedly pointed out, and
universally accepted as trusm, that the
herding together of large communities of
people in towns is associated with the
worst effects upon the health of the popu-
lation. In support of this statement sta
tistics show that there is marked differ
ence between the urban and rural death
rates; in other words, the former is dis
tinctly higher than the latter. The point,
however, to be inquired into in this con-
neCtion is, Can it be asserted that the
higher mortality of town districts is nee
essarily associated with racial deterior-
alton? Is it true that the effects of the
great town systems" are to cause de-
teriOratiOn of the race, as the result of
which a high mortality follows? Prob
ably a good many persons, without re-
Election, would be prepared to answer
aftirmatively to these questions; never
theless. there are undsputed facts on
record which practically prove the con-
trary. The following is an extract from
the reports of the Anthropometric Com
mite of the British association, which viii
he found in the volume of the PROCEEDINGS
of the association published in the year
1888: Few statistics are in existence
which help to throw light on this subject
1t is generally believed that the popula-
ton in the manufacturing towns of the
north of England is rapidly degenera ting
but comparison of the measurements of
stature and weights given in the report of
the factory commissioners of 1898 and in
the report to the local government board
on changes in hours and ages of en-
ployment of children and young persons
in textile factories 1873 shows that this
is not the case. On the contrary. an OK
animation of table XIV, showing these
measurements in stature, and a very
large increase in weight, at corresponding
ages. The increase in weight amounted
to a whole years gain, and a child of
years of age in 1873 weighed as much
as one of ten years in 1883, one of ten as
much as one of eleven. and one of eleven
as much as one of twelve years in the
two periods respectively"
In discussing the various questions
which have arisen in connection with the
subject OF this article, l have freely TO
admit that l started with the conviction
that there was ample latitude for the ex-
preston of an optimistic opinion To
what extent, however. the remarks con-
tanned in the foregoing pages have justi-
fed the assumption of this attitude. IL
is not for me to say. Nevertheless, most
persons will concede that Il Is an easier
thing to "Dull down" than to build mn"

ionable the trousseau may include a COM
bination gown. Especially are the perfor-
ated velveteens the thing" and especi-
ally, also, are they expensive. Of very
narrow width, a yard of the perforation
costs you three dollars and half. Then
of course, you require silk to back up all
these little holes; and silk for the puffy
parts of your bodice; because the velvet
cen will serve only for skirt and sleeves.
And when you have emptied a purse in
getting up your velveteen gown, and some
one asks you rs it pretty?' you will be
inclined to shrug your shoulders and
evade direct reply. Of course there is
quaintness about the YelVety material
that appeals to one, but there is often a
faint suggestion of clumsiness that makes
itself felt as well.
So my lady usually contents herself
with the cloth dresses that are quite ir-
reproachable. One way of Frightening a
dress of sober cloth is to cover the skirt
seams with narrow jet. Then of course
there are the sets of velvet collars and
belts, of all the bright colors that nobody
is without. The collars grow more elab-
crate every day. They now have spread
ing bows at the back, with a correspond
ing bow at the back of the belt although
the latter is of course much larger
The home gowns give little trouble.
For there are the graceful skirts of black
woods, satin dotted of taffeta, or other
SILK. L ne uBALeT materials are aCCOEuGOn
pleated and a fancy waist is worn with
all of them. a graceful tea-gown model
is reproduced. Its skirt is quite plain and
is scarcely noticeable; for the blouse
which half covers it claims all of ones
attention. The blouse is a changing taffe-
ia silk, in peach tints with golden sheen
yelling them, and is ACCORDION pleated.
The full blouse of the bodice is caught
thrice with the bands of delicate lace
once at the top with a rather broad band,
once a few inches below, with a mar
rover band, and once more at the belt.
At the neck the blouse is cut away and
the delicate effect somewhat modified by
a unique square revered effect which
stands over each shoulder. 1t is of lace,
laid over stiffened silk. From it's lower
corner, each side, falls a broad band of
deep wine-colored velvet, the shade of the
skirt.
The sleeves are no less attractive The
full puffs end at the elbow, and a small
point of lace edges them, while over the
puffs fall floating wings of the ACCORDION

New York Oct. 13.-A custom is such a
provoking thing-especially a time-hon-
ored one 1t is particularly obnoxious to
the recorder of fashions She welcomes a
fad, oh, yes! it is a delightful thing, and
can often be made to fill columns Of space.
But when it comes to a custom. she feels
particularly grieved. Everybody knows al!
about it, no one is interested in hearing
the tale told all over again, and all she is
able to make out Of it is a sentence, or
perhaps a paragraph, saying that such
and such a custom still prevails.
Take, for instance, the subject of we'd
ding gowns-one of intense interest to
every woman, no doubt For the mar
ried woman loves to draw mental COM
parison between the gown she wore, and
the style they are wearing now. and the
maiden is always willing to read about
the gown he secretly longs to don. But,
at the very outset, the obliging writer of
fashions, willing to expand upon any
subject for the benefit of womanknd-
and her own-inds herself handicapped
by one of those tantalizing customs. The
bride always dresses in white, and us
ually in white satin. She has not even the
satisfaction Of recording that the tint has
changed to some other white. No, it still
keeps its old ivory line.
So the only subject left her is the mat
ter of accessories. And, here, indeed, she
awakens to something like enthusiasm
For the wedding dress is getting to lose
much of its old-fashioned simplicity. 1t
has a bodice or sleeves of chiffon or the
new moire, that soft kind, which brushes
so easily. 1t has elaborate trimming in
pearls and passementerles. Indeed, it is
whispered that it will often, this month
and next, be original enough to shed it's
satin, and come forth in a heavy ribbed
silk, or peau de sole of modest lustre. The
skirt will be either perfectly plain, or else
trimmed with light falls of lace or satin
bands. These bands have embroidered
edges and rosettes or choux at regular
intervals. The skirt is, of course, full, and
has three-quarter train.
1t is the bodice that is most rebellous
and most charming, particularly, when it
is of putting chiffon, caught with satin
bands tied in girlish bows on the should
ers; but the chiffon is often weighted
down by the bands of narrow pearl pas
sementerie that are arranged to form n
yoke. The sleeves are big-big or bigger
than any others. ...
One October bride has planned her
dress, or had it planned for her, after this
fashion. The satin skirt Of rich lustre
will be plain without border or embroid-
cred band. Instead, three simple bows in
satin, will adOrn the front placed at equal
distances above each other.
The pretty satin bodices promise to be
a rather elaborate affair for a simple
bride. Broad Shoulder breteIes of rich

FOUR VERY QUEER BIRDS.
They Have Heart-shaped Faces and
Sits Down Their mos esq
I'm the New York Sun.

/ From the New York Sun.
John Roach, who keeps the Windsor
mousse in kearney avenue, Kearney, N.
j., has four queer birds which he SAYS he
captured in an abandoned pigeon cote on
the Schuyler property, near the old con-
per mine. He keeps them in a strong
wire cage in the hotel shed. They are
about fourteen inches in hight, and have
bodies and legs much like those of chick.
ems, while their claws are long and sharD
like hawks. The wings, which rosem-
bic an eagles, are beautifully shaped and
have spread of four feet Their DIun-
age is very fine, resembling in color ard
texture that of the pheasant except on tho
breast, where it is spotted like a
thrush's. The face" is probabIv tbe
most remarkable feature of the bird. 1t
is white and distinctly heart-shaped.
while in general appearance it resembles
a common barn owl. The eyes, however,
are black, almond shaped, and apparently
day-seeing. At intervals the ridge cor
responding with the nose on a human
face opens down its entire length. making
cavity half an inch in width. The
opening and shutting of this strange
crevice produces a most remarkable eff
feet.
The mouth proper resembles an owls.
The face is covered with what appears to
be fine hair, and the expression is ex-
tremely sinister. When approached the
birds herd together and make a loud hiss
ing sound, prolonged sometimes for nearly
a minute The hiss is much hoarser
than that of goose. While being fed
they emit squealS like a sucking pig
Their food is generally raw beef. They
Will eat neither mutton nor pork Mr..
Roach says. If live chicken or pigeon
be given to them they will fall upon and
kill it by seyering its windniDe with their
sharp talons. Then they retire to the
perch above and wait for a long time. APP
parently for the body of the victim to
grow cold. Then they swoop down on it,
divest it of skin and feathers. Mr.. Roach
says, and eat the flesh ravenously.
Although they have been in captivity
since July 1 last. they show no signs of
becoming tame. They are very fierce,
and have an especial aversion for chill
dren and dogs.
Many persons have seen the birds in
GLIDING several who are said to be skilled
in ornithology, but none of them has
been able to recognize the birds. 1t seems
to be proved that they are strangers in
New Jersey. James Connors, the man
who chiefly attends TO them, talks to
them and says they understand him. The
what-it-is however, does not respond with
any show Of affection, or at least they
did not when a reporter was looking at
them yesterday in company with Mr.. Con-
nors They Kissed louder than Oscar
Hammerstein did and showed fight the
moment the cage was approached In
the bottom of the cage were the feathers
and feet Of a bitter, a species of heron
which Mr. Connors said his pets had just
devoured.
They arc doubtless some kind of an owl
which an expert ornithologist would be
able to classify.
