NgMeN oF nle FUTURE.

believe that improvement will be effect
ed through the agency OF female choice IN
marriage. As things are, women are con
stantly forced into marriage for n bare llv-
ing or n comfortable home. They have
practically no choice Ia the selection OF
their partners aud the fathers OF their chill
dren, and 40 long as this economic neces-
sity Tor marriage presses upon the great
bulk OF women, men who are vicious, de-
graded. OF feeble intellect aud unsound
bodies will secure wives, and thus often
perpetuate their infirmities and evil hab-
Its. But In n reformed society the vicious
man, the man Of degraded taste or Of fec
BILE intellect, will have little chance OF find
ing wife, and his bad qualities win die
out with himself. On the other hand, the
most perfect and beautiful In body and
mind, the men Of spotlesa character and
reputation, will secure wives first, the less
commendablo later and the least commend
able latest Of all. As a natural conse-
quence, the best mon and women will mar
ry the earliest and probably have the larg-
eat families The result will be a more
rapid increase Of the good than Of the bad.
and this state Of things continuing TO
work for successive generations win at
level OF those who are now the more adj
vanced Of tho race.
On the whole. then, Il IL probable that
In the society Of the future the mortality
OF males will be less, owing TO preventive
measures In connection with dangerous
aud injurious occupations, 40 that the
number Of manageable men will be equal
10 that OF women. Add TO this that there
will be an increasing proportion OF women
who will prefer not TO marry, and Il IL
clear that men desiring wives will be In
excess OF women wanting husbands. This
will greatly increase the influence OF WON
en- In the improvement OF the racc. Being
In the minority, they will be more sought
after and will have real choice in mar
ringe, which u rarely the case now.
Broadly speaking, think we may trust
the cultivated minds and pure instincts
OF the women Of the future In the choice
OF partners. The idle and the selfish would
be almost universally rejected. The coarse
and sensunl man, the diseased OF weak I'm
intellect, those having tendency 20 IN
sanity or 10 hereditary disease or who pos
sess any congenital deformity, would rare
ly find partners, because the enlightened
woman would know that she was commit
ting an offense against society, against
humanity nc large, in choosing husband
who might be the means OF transmitting
disease Of body or mind TO his offspring
Thus II Will come about that the lower
types Of men, morally and physically dis
eased, Will remain permanently unmarried
and will leave no descendants, and the nd.
vance Of the race In every good quality
will be insured. Alfred Russell Wallace In

CAPTAIN GENERAL OF MADRID.
General Martinez Csmpos Was Injured by
PaIlas' Bomb.

The dispatches say that when the news
Of the recent resignation of her cabinet
was unfolded to the queen regent of Spain
that royal lady was decidedly annoyed.

not at all surprising that she was for be-

his rise was sure, though not rapid.
when Cleopatra's Needle, the Egyptian
obelisk now standing in Central park.
New York, was presented to the United
States, Captain McDougall's attention
was attracted to the problem Of transport
Ing masses and general freight In bulk.
This was ten years before the first whale
back was built, but it was then that the
germ OF the strange vessel was born in
his mind. Directly after that he was sent
to Russia and other parts Of the world by
men specially interested to study the best
methods for transporting freight. He
made many recommendations to his prin-
cipals, but nothing came of them.
In 1889 he determined to settle in Du-
luth, then giving promise that 1t would
some day be great shipping port, and
thero Nc BrduualIy came TO control the bust
nesses Of shipping agent and broker steve
dore, etc. Meantime he had worked at
his model ship whenever he could, having
fitted up the attic of his house for work
shop, where he had n tank in which he
sailed his model and other fittings He
found 1t impossible, however, to interest
any one In his scheme. Indeed every one
laughed at it, though, because of his bust
ness success as shipper, shipowners and
shipbuilders usually treated him with po-
likeness to his face. At last, however, he
got little company organized to build
whaleback, his idea first being to con-
struct barges only. The first craft was
the famous 101, and though it was queer
looking boat 1t was success in that it
would carry more freight than any other
craft of the same cost. The remainder OF
the story is soon told. At the present
time there are moro than 40 whalebacks
afloat on the lakes and the Atlantic, and
Mr.. McDouRall and all who went in with
him have won great wealth. It is predict
ed that it will not be many years before
whalebacks will float on every sea and
hail from every port.
