lHERED1rY HER THEME.
DR.. Ella NJ. Jennings Would Organize
a School for Its Study.

Washington, Feb. 27-Ella NJ. Jen-
nings, NJ. D., spoke to a large audience
at the Peoples church yesterday on
',Heredity-Its Possibilities" She chose
for her text 1 Cor, iii:17:18. Know We
not that We are the temple of God, and
that the spirit of God dwelleth in you.
If any man defile the temple of God,
him shall God destroy, for the temple of
God is holy, which temple We are
God is love, God is wisdom, God is
harmony, God is health, consequently
we should be all of these said the
speaker 1.-THE kingdom of God is based
upon law-natural law, which embraces
the physical and spiritual Mind and
body are interdependent. Mind should
command, will should govern and the
body should obey.
Suppose we turn our attention TO
child culture instead of money getting,
and raise a nation of heroes, of grand
men and women. Suppose we see if we
cannot cultivate the higher, nObler, di
Viner faculties, and let the lower, brutal,
the selfish, die out from pure hamilton.
Starve them out for want of nOuriSh-
ment. Give them nothing upon which
to fatten. Let US take lesson from ma
ture; she is our divine teacher. the
voice of wisdom and of God is shown in
all her workings. Nature is Gods voice
speaking to our souls. When we real
iZe this great fact we shall feel such a
close kinship to God and to nature that
the very grass and trees and plants talk
to US, when we feel our relationship to
them a part of this great universe.
The farmer, cOmmuning as he does
with nature, knows that to insure
good crop he must plant good seed in
we'll prepared soil This he knows and
practices in his agricultural pursuits,
but in the more important sowing of
life seed. the implanting of the imper-
ishable life principle, which will result
in a human harvest to blossom and
bloom for time and eternity, we take no
thought, make no preparation, need no
law, but leave all to chance, impulse or
passion
After dwelling at length upon the i'm
portance of the elevation of motherhood
and of good anti-natal conditions, DR..
Jennings referred to- some of her own
projects for lettering the human race.
One of these is for the government to
offer a million dollars in prizes for the
best specimens of children varying in
age from one month to fifteen years.
She declared that the Improvement in
two genera lions would be wonderful.
Another of her projects is the stablish-
ment of a national school of health and
heredity, which she said she had sub
mitted to Bishop Potter, DR.. Macarthur,
and Rev. Charles H. Eaton, who ap-
proved of the movement. She proposes
that the institution shall teach the re-
sponsibility of parentage from a scien-
Gific standpoint. HOW TO secure harno-

p. JUDD TALKS ROADS.
Says They Should be Improved and
the Unemployed Given Work.

c. P. Judd of this city advances some
new ideas ON road Improvement and
suggests the appointment of a road
commissioner and clerk to take general
charge of the work. Other provisions of
the measure which he believes could be
made effective al a matter of law, are:
That certain local officers of a mu-
nicipality constitutes commissioners or
overseerS; that a road Office be eStab-
lished at the state house; authorizes
the construction of ROADS in all parts of
the state; provides for the collection of
tolls which shall be paid to the state
treasury and authorizes the employ
ment of idle laborers at from 80 cents
to 81 per day of eight hours.
Mr.. Judd says the material used in
improving roads should be of state pro-
duction and that the work should be
done for the especial bene1it of the un-
employed. The subject was discussed
at length by Mr.. Judd in speech at the
old court house last night.

 In August the United States i'm ported Mexican coffee to the value Of Sl7l, ,250, against s66,0s9 in the same month of 1897.
 The value of the tobacco crop for the nresent season in the district of San Andreas de Tuxtla, state of Vera Cruz, is estimated at three million dollars, silver.
 Nearly one million dollars will be appropriated by the present congress for the improvement of the army In various sections.
 Advices from Chiapas state that the coffee crop this year will reach the extraordinary figure of over 6,0OO,O0O pounds. This is much the largest crop yet realized in that section and the planters are jubilant.
 Tampico has advanced to the posi- tion of being the port of most inn portance in the commerce of Mexico, in the past fiscal year, It's exporta- tions having exceeded those of Vera Cruz by s5o,ooO and its exportations by two million of dollars.
 'sModern Mexico says; The amount of Mexican tobacco exported has now reached a value Of more than half a million dollars month, and each month continues to show an increase of about two hundred per cent. over the same month of the previous year.

We desire our friend a happy journey and prompt returns.
 The returns of the Mexican treasury department for the past fiscal year show that importations from Europe ln the past fiscal year have fallen off while from the United States there has been an increase. In the previous fiscal year 47 per cent. of the foreign commerce of Mexico was with the United States, in the year just closed It rose to 53 per cent.

"a cnrsful perusa! OF tho following. tn
ken from Statistical pamphlet issued
from the Department OF Asriculture.
WILL give 1ons idea OF the effect the
war in Cuba has had on the trade OF
this country:
During the last fiscal year t1Soe) the
total value of our Cuban trade amount
ed only TO S47,54S6l0 as compared with
sto2,S64, 2ot In 1893, the year preceding
tho breaking out Of the war. This was
falling off of more than so per cent.
in the short space of three years. Such
returns as are already available for the
current fiscal year. Indicate a still fur
ther decline, the records for the nine
months ended March 31st, 1897, placing
the total value OF the trads for that
period as low as s14,926,S17. At this rate
the figures for the entire fiscal year
1897 will hardly reach 500. 900, 900, or less
than onc-tlth OF the value recorded for
1893. During the early years of the de-
cada covered by the above table our
trade with Cuba had received quite an
impetus, the years 1897 TO 1893, inclu-
showing uninterrupted gains, and had
III not been for the opening Of the war.
1t Is not Improbable that still greater
expansion would have followed. AS 1t
ls, however. commercial interchange be-
tween the United States and Cuba has
been very largely abridged.
A loss Of trade to the amount Of $751;
315,594 in three years is something to
consider, and If the war in Cuba is per-
mtted to continue much longer all will
be swept away
