The average adult American Is a
statistical octoroon. If the blood In
the veins of all our people, white and
black were pooled and redistrlbuted,
each person would have about seven
parts white and one part negro blood.
The white strain In him. moreover, is
by no means purely American. White
strains of foreign origin, derived from
Germany, Ireland, Scandinavia, Can
ada. Great Britain and the countries
of southern Europe, are collectively
is the negro strain.
Thus, going back only one genera
ton. we find him to be n composite,
the creation of widely differing bloods
and nationalties. The peoples of the
earth, from the kOngo under the equa-
tor to the North cape of Europe, have
contributed, either Immediately or re-
motley. to his composition. But with
1t all we find the Anglo-Saxon strain
the dominant one. His political in
stitutions, his laws, his social condi-
lions and his mental characteristics,
his power of initiative and his indie
pendence OF thought and action are
Anglo Saxon. sharpened and intensified
by fresh contact with nature under
new and uutried conditions.
1t is strange and gratifying thing
to witness, IN connection with this
mixture of blood, the complete domi-
nance of the Anglo-S Saxon strain, and
1t argues well for its strength and
vitality as well as for the welfare of
the country which he occupies and
governs Eyerybody's Magazine.

House Ventilation In bombay

Most of the new houses In Bombay
have a fine show OF windows on the
outside, but no corresponding opening
to allow Il current OF air to pass
through. The mean annual temper
ature is 1913 degrees f., and the mean
relative humidity II per cent. The
mean annual range of temperature is
469 degrees, but there are periods dur
ing the rains when the diurnal range
of temperature does not exceed 2 de-
grees, and, unless there is wind, yenti-
lation is practically stopped because
the outer air and that In the buildings
are reduced to nearly one temperature.
With the thermometer at 50 to "a de-
grees, and the air heavily charged with
moisture, the surplus heat Of the
human body escapes too slowly, and
much discomfort ensues. AS 1t Is not
possible to dry the air In an ordinary
house, the usual remedy is to produce
a current by means of punka, and
although the influence of this is very
local, 1t has been found that In the
worst Bombay weather life IL made
tolerable In its current. The chief
drawback of the punka Is the punka
walla. He is dirty, unrellably, especial
ly at night, and his work. counting day
and night, costs "a rupees per month

man of large landed interests counted

him away from the old place for some
years, during which time there was a
marked decrease IN the revenue Upon
his return TO the plantation he discov-
cred that many of the slaves were laid
up with rheumatism and other miSer-
les, the farming implements We're In

fast going to rack and ruin. Calling
his overscer he said:

Monday next order all the nlggers OF
the place 30 be present"
At the appointed time they came
The pile WAS set on fire and the imple-
ments destroyed The following week
he called the overSecr's attention to the
sick and iniirm horses. hogs and cattle
and gave the same order. When the
negroes had assembled all the animals
were knocked in the head. The Fri
day following the landlord again called
