MANKIND GROWING BETTER.
PROF. MCGEE SAYS THE AVERAGE
OF LIFE is INCREASING.

No Danger From Tobacco, Tea, Coffee
or LiquOr-Hearty breakfast Are
Making Americans the Strongest
People in the world.
New York. Nov. 9.-Mankind IS not de-
decorating Certain alarmists are contin-
ually crying out that the human race hav-
ing reached the pinnacle OF material pros
perity, has lost its hardy virtues. They
admit superior excenence In individuals
but argue that the man of TO day mas be-
come enervated and degenerate. They say
that he is Overworked and underfed. They
claim that he has become emasculated by
twentieth century civilization; that he is
deteriorating physically, mentally and
morally.
These prophets Of evil then go on e par
ticularize. They point out that the long
and irregular hours OF labor. continuing
in many cases far into the night, and the
high pitch 10 which the nervous system is
wrought in performing the constant brain
work required of the man of o day, strain
to the swapping point the vitality of the
Individual and lead TO the constant use
of stimulants. They attest these argu-
ments by indicating the enormous total in
crease in the consumption of liquor, cof-
fee, tea and other stimulating drinks, al
coholic and non-alcoholic.
Tobacco also they say is almost univer-

American is the breakfast eater of the
world. He invariably commences the day
with a good meal of strong steam pro-
ducing food. Consequently work is no drag
on him and can surpass easily in results
the European who commences the day
with little but a roll and cup of choco-
late.
What do you think of the statement
that the American people are running their
nerves by the consumption of coffee, tea
and tobacco?
1T is my opinion that the tea and coffee
alarmists have built their houses mostly
upon a foundation of sand. 1t is true that
the use of these beverages is increasing
and has become almost universal. But I
am inclined to think that they are much
more of a blessing than a curse to the
race. In fact l have no doubt that the
comfort, health and longevity of the race
is increased by the use of coffee and to a
lesser degree this statement is true of tea
as we'll.
Tobacco and Liquor Consumption
Decreasing.
LAS to tobacco, we have no accurate
data; but ! have been greatly interested
in observing the extent TO which tobacco
was used twenty or thirty years ago and
comparing Its use then with its use to-
day. Then it was the exception TO find a
man who did not smoke al the end of din
ner. To-day when dining l observe that
al least half of the gentlemen refuse the
cigars when they are passed around. In
fact there is nothing so far as I know to
indicate that the percapita consumption of
tobacco is increasing. Moreover do not
believe that the use Of tobacco Is injurl-

Mary Ledine, a Musical Prodigy, Is
Little COIOred Girl.
New York, Nov 10, 1S99.-In one of the
cheap tenement negro quarters of New
York city Mary Ledine played with her
little dusky companions. She was as fat
as butter bail, and had almost as much
shape TO her as a blackberry dumpling.
Her head was topped with black wool,
braided up tight and tied with a narrow
red ribbon-surtopped agan with a red
puckered crowned wool hat. The balance
of the dumping was covered with a blue
wooden dress, clean but carefully patch

"Mattie's' friends noticed that every
time the child could set at a piano, she,
with no knowledge whatever of the tech
nique Of music was able TO coax melody
out of the ivory keys. What Matte could
10 cane 10 the knowledge of Madame Tay-
lor, woman who for many years had
been interested in musical matters. OF
course the child was tried. and results
demonstrated that the examination must
have been satisfac DRY, for "Mattie's'' ia
tier was dead, her mother simply a com
mon house servant, with small wages and
there was consequently no pos billy of
any pay for lessons. Nevertheless the child
was taken in hand, and has now had piano
lessons for two years.
Although Matte" can read music fsir-
fy well the knowledge is not of great val
lie to her. She is a keen imitator has a
musical ear of wonderful acuteuess. 1t is
claimed that her talents are nearer like
those of Blind Tom than anybody Sc
has ever reached. Mattie's teacher will
seat herself at the piano ard execute guile
a long and difficuE piece of music at the
end CT which the child sits down to play
it, Her memory of me'o les and her mus
ical ear seem alike finely developed. She
may not get all the notes in at the first
attempt. but she is consc Gus of the omis-
sions, and goes cropping around in her
memory for the lest chord
1t is claimed that Matte" is the only
colored child in the world to-day that
plays all of Blind Toms" music-his

SIR BEDvERs DTLLERs NEPHEW
Bosom Friend of the Prince of Wales
and Amateur boxer of England.

Bosom Friend of the Prince of Wales
and Amateur boxer of England.
Curious indeed is the fate which has
finally carried Charles Butler, nephew
Of Sir Redvers Butler. commander-in-chief
of the British forces in South Africa to
a little hut on Coronado Beach, Southern
California, to become a teacher Of fenc-
ing and boxing.
Twenty years ago no man was better
known in the fashionable and sporting
worlds of London than the handsome and
accomplished Charles Butler. an officer in
the Life Guards, a bosom friend of the
Prince of Wales, champion amateur box
er of England, and three times member
of the crack gentlemen team of cricket
players.
"A man to keep up such a pace" says
Mr. Butler, requires at least 10000
year. 1 had only $1,000 of annual income,
therefore. the inevitable rcsult-Califor-
MIA" Asked how it was that he came to
choose the edge of the Pacific ocean IN
the extreme limits of Southern California,
as a secluded retreat from persons over
anxious as to the state of his health, Mr..
Butler replied that it came about in the
most natural way possible.
Having, at last, decided that New York
would be a pleasant place of temporary
residence, he arrived in the METROPOLIS Of
the United States three or four years since
and as he explains, found it a most in
teresting city to visit; where in fact it
was possible to spend SO much money that
at last, it became absolutely necessary to
betake his family into the country for a
period of financial recuperation.
But why to California;" is the question
which rises spontaneously to the lips.
"Oh, you see" replied Mr.. Butler, 81

does the former threaten TO become uni
versal evil among the American people,
II should say decidedly no 20 any ques-
tons Of this kind. We do not have to so
far back into the history OF the Anglo
Saxon race to find a time when drunken
ness was rife. Passing over the days
Of ribaldry which marked the time Of
Charles II, and the Georges in Eng and
we come to the earlier decades Of the pres
ent century. During that time in our own
American Congress drinking was the rule,
ana almost any night numbers of drunk
en- congressman could be found gathered
around the gambling tables and in the ea-
looms along Pennsylvania avenue. To-
day it is the rarest thing in the world that
a member of Congress is seen in a stale
@ intoxication. The spirit of this age IS
against overindulgence in strong drink.
Slowly but surely drunkenness and leWd-
ness are becoming things Of the past.
In conclusion II may be said that the
peoples OF the word are increasing in num-
Der from decade to decade. They are in
creasing stil more rapidly in individual
accomplishment. Judged from the stand
point of races the white is becoming more
and more predominant. The enlightened
races are growing longer lived. The sub

4 Wonderful New Science.
So of comparatively recent years men
have turned their attention 10 a science
which purportad 10 gauge he rise and fail

defines as treating Of the different nat

has been broadened siS more until the
