 On the whole there has been a considerable increase of the number of negroes in the north.

About nine tenths Of the negro population of the country ls still found ln the southern and borG- CT states Negro immigration to the North has been almost entirely to the cities and towns As agricultural la borers the blacks do not appear 10 have found any foothold in the North.

From 1880 until lS9o the negroes increased only 13.3 per cent and the whites 26.7 per cent But from l89D to 1900 the negroes increased lS.l per In the first of these two decades the white stock grew just twice as fast as the black. But in the decade just ended it grew only 3.3 per cent faster.
 In the three decades just previous to the rebelllon, under slavery, the growth of the negro population was respectively 23, 26 and 22 per cent, the last being between 1850 and lS60. Between lS60 and 1870 the census made the increase only 10 per cent and between 1870 and 1880 the census made II 3o per cent This last figure greatly alarmed the South. But the census officials admit that the figures between lS6a and lSS0 are utterly worthless. due to faulty enumeration.
 1t is considered noteworthy that the rate of increase among the freedmen has approached very nearly that which eXisted when they Were Fl bondage. Now that the negroes are thrown upon their own resources and and have had third of a century ia which 10 find ther place, they pro sent general social condition which the sociologists find approximatlng that of the superior race in so far as It can be judged by the natural increase Of population.

 In other words. the natural increase Of peuIation is greatest in native born of foreign parents. second in native born of native born parents whose parents were foreign; third in re- groes; fourth in native born whites of pure native ancestry, and fourth in foreign born whites.
 If immigration and other present conditions continue indefinitely tWen- ty years hence will probably show the native born white population ot native parents to comprise less than one-half of the whole population. The foreign stock and the negro stock are growing faster than the original white stock.

Immunity From Microbes.

From the Chicago News.
 At various times the public has been warned of the dangers that Turk in the kiss and even in the handshake as agen- ries by which microbes may be distributed but the remarks of a speaker at medi- cal association meeting in this city hint that even the person who renounces these practices Is not safe. All the distributing agencies by means of which men come in contact with other men should be sub- feet to sterilization and even ''the long hai rand the full beard ought to be dis rouraged by general disapprobation." It is not depreciating the wisdom of the advice to point out that apparently it Is becoming a dangerous matter simply to remain alive. Even the man who defies germs by keeping himself close shorn and putting in his waking hours in the use of antiseptic can never feel wholly safe. He may have no hair wherein the malign microbe can find lodgment. but he will still have his throat lungs and other or gans to which the bacili are wont to re- pair Simply by remaining alive he Is exposing field of operation to the ever ready microbe. AAarently the only per- feet safeguard whould lie in shearing off not only haid and beard, but everything above the neck, at which point the health seelser might be dead. but would certain ly be immune from microbes.

SERVING TWO MASTERS.
Should Ladies Wear Low Bodices and
 Picture Hats at Evening Services?
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
 Dr. Ker Gray's novel experiment of holding a service in St. Georges Chapel, Albemarle street, at o'clock in the even Ing, has now passed it's third Sunday, and Judging from the attendances on each oc- casion, 1t seems to meet the wants of many In the course of some conversa- tion on the subject Dr. Ker Gray express ~ the opinion that 1t would be three years before London thoroughly knew of the innovation. but that he fully antici- apated a steady increase in his congrega- tions. In place of the magnitude of the metropolis, where there is a public to fill the restaurants and concerts Of Sunday evening, there must be. as he thinks. proposition would welcome a beautifully rendered anthem and very brief address pn some subject of the hour. and 1t is the wishes of such that he hopes to meet.
 In connection with the experiment. which Is being watched with much inter- est by bis brother clergy, it seems to have escaped notice that the Roman SCatholic Church in the Compline has an almost analogous office to hour and dura ton. So far there has not been large proportion of the congregation in evening dress though some few ladies, for the most part wearing long and hand Bome cloaks, have been present. The question of hats is the real difficulty, per haps, in the matter, for. though the broad minded minister himself sees nc objection whatever to their being omitted, the ma 5ority of lady worshippers still accept rather literally the Pauline injunctions as to the unseemliness of taking part in public devotions with their heads uncov- cred. Yet little consideration would show them that on great state occasions as royal marriages or a coronation. no hat or bonnet is worn, and there Is. no { doubt that custom would soon sanction evening costume for late service. But should the innovation meet general ac- ceptauce. may 1t not evolve its own att tire? For the past year or two fashiona- ble photographers have greatly favored the wearing of a large and becoming pie ture" hat with a decollete dress, although mo one in this country off the stage ever wears the two together. There Is, how ever, no doubt that a pretty woman looks very charming with a large hat in con- Junction with a low bodice, and late even for bringing the photographer ideals into ing churchgoing might provide the excuse Actual fact.

Leland Stanford, Jr., University.

Leland Stanford was born in Albany, N. r., in 1924; went to California in 1852; was miner, railroad builder and operator, governor, breeder of blooded horses; fed eral senator, and benefactor of the human race He had one child only, Leland Stan ford, Jr. This well beloved youth died in his first manhood, and as the clods closed over him the bereaved father and mother saw the brightness fade from the earth and the darkness and gloom settle over their hitherto happy lives. They possibly did that which brought them more conso- lation than any other course could possi- bly have done. Their great fortune
 amounted to forty million dollars. They decided that this vast sum of money should be devoted exclusively to the noble task of educating and training the youth of America up to that ideal and exalted standard of character that they dreamed of finding in the matured personality Of their own beloved boy who God, in His wisdom had taken from them. The grand Leland Stanford Jr. University is a gift to the people more munificent than states or countries have ever bestowed on their citizens and will carry down to future generations an affectionate memory of those who bestowed 1t. The lands and properties that belong to the university are of princely domain and extent. includ- ing the Palo Alto farm of 11,O00 acres devoted to the breeding and training Of blooded horses; the lovely park and resi- dence grounds, vineyards, etc.; the Vina ranch on the Sacramento river, of 55,O0O acres, several thousand of which are in vineyards where the finest varieties of wine grapes, such as the Zinfandel and Charbonnean are abundantly grown; and the Gridey ranch in Butte county of r ,00O acres, principally devoted to wheat grow ing All of these truly baronial posses sions are given to the Leland Stanford Jr. University in the grant, founding and endowing that noblest and greatest in design. conception and completion, of all educational institutions of the earth. Governor Stanford was one of a score of American millionaires who found their chiefest pleasures and recreations in close and intimate association with the noblest of the animals. He has done. by grand example, as much as any man, possibly more, to elevate the horse breeding in- terests and clothe 1t in that responsibility which by right 1t should wear. Passion ately fond of horses, he was naturally good judge of them-the best judge that ever lived of proper conformation for speed By instinct, he discovered the un- developed and talent merit that others failed to see until demonstrated. The selection of Electioneer and his mating with the daughters of thoroughbred Planet, Lexington, etc., is forcible illus tration. The matter of disposition and temperament he made a study of to greater degree than form even. and his success as a breeder was due in no small degree to his intuitive analysis of temper ament and careful discrimination in blend ing blood with nice regard to mental as well as physical characteristics.
