Multiplication of the Lower Glasses.
po1.lfruT. Scicuce JTouFbFu


Long living and many who live long is as
important an element in the increase of popu-
lation as numerous births. All the children
born in the United States in the year 1891,
who die before they are eight years old, will
not increase the population either in num-
bers or effective strength so much as one
man born in that year who lives to be 80.
The man, independently of his greater use
fulness, will be counted as an inhabitant in
three censuses; the children will be counted
in none.
Paupers, savages, and other people of low
life are often supposed to multiply very fast
because they seem to be so reckless in the num-
Der of children that are born to them. But
the same shiftlessness which brings the chill
dren into the world surrounds them with
conditions that destroy them. Negroes are
supposed to be very prolific; but the death
rate among them III cities is almost double
the death-rate among whites; and the death
rate among negro children is more than
double the death-rate among white children.
The woman of the slums who was recently
reported to have said that she ought to know
something about the nurture of children be-
cause she had buried IA of her own, was
doubtless q person of excellent intentions;
but she has not done so well for the republic
as some less boastful mother who has raised
one son to maturity.

1t was Christmas Eve. All the lights were
burning brightly in the McCray mansion.
Uncle Dick and the children-he had never
realized before what good companions chill
dren were-had been busy all afternoon dec
Grating the huge Christmas tree. Against
evening it was glorious sight to behold.
The children had never been so happy. All
of them had gotten an unusually large num-
ber of presents. Uncle Dick alone had
bought three or four each even the baby.
In the big sitting-room the presents were
displayed on an old mahogany table that
reminded you of some wild beast of the for
est when you gazed down at the formidable
looking claws which served for its feet But
the table could not contain them all, so sew
eral chairs were placed on either side of it
to hold the overflow exhibition.
AS the evening waned Uncle Dick and
Papa McCray lit their cigars and went out
for a walk. They had been gone but
few minutes when there was ring at the
doorbell and Eleanor Kent aud her aged
mother entered, both bringing presents for
the children.
Although dressed very plainly, Eleanor
never looked handsomer. The II years
which had passed since her early and only
love affair had touched her lightly. She
was now So, but looked much younger.
She was great favorite with the chill
dren, who called her Aunt Eleanor" They
showed her the tree, the presents, and then
Uncle Dicks home" they said, watching
her face to see reflection there of their
own delight at the return of one whom she
had SO often told them about. But only
little nervous smile trembled on her lips and
died And very soon afterward she must
return home. She mustywrite the names
of her Sunday school scholars in the pretty,
cheap books she had bought for them, and
practice the offertory she was to sing on the
morrow, and, and
But the children would not hear of il.
They dragged her to the piano and forced
her to play for them as they sang Jolly
Old st. Nicholas" They shouted the roll
licking song with such lusty chorus that
old Mrs. Kent was afraid they would awaken
the baby, whose wrath when angered was
terrible; but Mrs. McCray reassured her
and begged Eleanor to sing the Offertory
she was TO sing at st. Brides" While Shep-
herds Watched Their Fl0cks by Night"
But Eleanor did not know it without music.
Her hands strayed over the keys, making
little impromptu chords and cadences, and
then struck the prelude to Tosti's Mem
cries" one of those songs that play upon the
human heart-strings. Many time when
alone she sang it, but it was not song for
Christmas Eve; it was too sad.
AS Richard Jennings and his br0ther-in-
law re-entared the house, the sound of her
rich, sweet voice reached his ears.
"Who is singing 2" asked Richard.
:" It's Eleanor Kent" was the reply.
Low aud clear aud sweet The words, molten
into music, reached their ears:

The Anatomy of Speed Skating.


The typical speed skater has short body,
capacious, round chest, with well-developed
back; his thighs are strong and very long, as
are also his legs. His feet are large and
fiat. His weak points are his calves, due to
the long fiat skate to which his flattened
foot is so closely bound. The large muscles
of his chest are not exercised, and his arms,
held lying idly along his back, are unused
except in an occasional squirt, when they are
brought down and swung straight from the
shoulder They say that they catch less wind
held that way, and that the position is rest
ful to the tense cxtensors of the back. This
is, no doubt, true, but the result is disastrous
to symmetrical development This type of
figure is seen at its best in such skaters as the
Donahues Mccormick, the old-time pro-
fe5sional, who still skates fast race although
now 10 years of age, and in Wilson Breen, a
professional, who has been winner of much
gold and glory by means of his long legs and
powerful thighs.
The conclusion that speed skating alone is
not a good exercise to develop well-built,
symmetrical man will be patent to any one
who reviews the facts If INDUCED in, it
should be, as done by McCulloch, in con-
junction with other forms of athletics which
bring into action the muscles of the arm calf,
shoulders, and chest.

No matter where men may be, no matter
how far away from home they may go oil
how long they may stay away, when Christ
mas comes their minds revert to the loved
ones of their childhood-tender memories
of a mother, sister, perhaps n sweetheart
are revived, and longing seizes them to be
back again amid the old familiar scenes.
With each recurrence of the glad season
| which heralds peace on earth to men of good
will, this longing crept into Richard Jen-
nings's heart, sitting all interest in the fluc-
tuation of wool on Change, and making
positively distasteful to him all talk about
the prospects of next years cotton crop or

gan to realize his loneliness, and he regarded
with envy the people hurrying along the
street carrying bundles of toys and candies

Der OF the st. LOUIS Merchants Exchange,

for society, and although he belonged tC
several of the best clubs in that charming
old town, he could not be called clubman.
His tastes, his cravings, were domestic but
they remained unsatisfied. Little was known
of his previous history. He was not COM
muncatiye, and his business acquaintance
were not ingusitive.
One evening, just four days before Christ
mas, Mr.. Jennings returned to his hand
somely furnished residence and astonished
his housekeeper by telling her he was " GO

in his service for more than five years, and
believed that all his relatives were dead, as
she had never heard him speak of them.

down upon, is soldier tramps. Scarcely day
passes but we are called upon to contribute to
the wants of someone calling himself COM
rade in distress Some are away from home
and cannot get back; others have been to hear
them tell it, trying for months to get to some
Soldiers Home, and want nights lodging;
and various other reasons are given for their
great distress. Now, to the old soldiers that
story has grown threadbare, and they have
come to pay little attention to the cry of these
professional beggars, for such they are, or at
least the most Of them. There may be some
extreme cases where their wants are real and
their story an honest one, but in most eases
they are looked upon as professional buns

they are compelled to go to the Soldiers

comrades all along the route, who have

them through. Now if this is not an absurd
lty, what would be proper name for it? 1t

When the line was crossed the Deputy pulled

able You could tell that from the houses
big, broad, roomy, old-fashioned brick resi-
dences of bygone day, with quaint colo
NAL doorways elaborately carved the lintes
in many cases supported by the classic Ionic
! or Doric columns affected by the builders
of century ago.
But their glory had departed. The spirit
Of decay had fallen upon them, and the
children of those who built them had moved
to finer and more modern homes.
But the Jenningses and the Kents were
an exception. They had withstood the
general exodus and continued to live in the
house which had been their family roof-tree
for nigh 100 years. They were plain, quiet,
conservative people, and not Of the "smart

bad all moved away.
"Here's Uncle Dick.n shouted the boys
as they grabbed his big travelling bag almost

father, she thought. All, if mother could
see him now-that mother whose patient
loving face was pictured on canvas in the
quaint, old-fashioned frame hanging on the
parlor wall.

him up to the same room in the old-fash-

younger days that arose before him like
ghosts from the past.
In the afternoon he went out with his
two eldest nephews, Alex aud Sam, to see
the shop windows and when they returned
all three had their arms filed with pres
ents. He was very happy. If some of those
married fellows in st. Louis could see him
nowi The sense of loneliness which had
haunted him for years was gone, and yet
in a week he would be back again in
that quiet house of his in st. Louis, with
no other occupant save the faithful Sarah
Burns.
