THE DECAY OF NATIONS.

Wealth is certainly accommodating in
this country, and some think that the
men of the country are decaying
Among those who so think is DR. Da-
vid Starr Jordan, president of Leland
Stanford, Jr., university. He has made
"a study Of the decay of races through
the survival of the unfit" He holds
that the degeneracy and decay of ma
tons are due solely to war, that war
permits the survival of the unfit, that
lit destroys the strong, that Greece and
Carthage fell before Rome and Rome
herself before the barbarians, and that
the vast empire of Charles " disin-
tegrated under the progressively weak
ening rule of his successors, because
the strong men who should have sus-
tanned these states had been cut off in
battle. He believes that the processes
of civic decay are now at work in Eng
land, because her constant engagement
in war has taken the best elements
from the national life. He believes
that the men upon whom devolves the
duty of solving the problems within the
sphere of American politics are doing
their work with hands not so strong
or so clean as though the men that are
stood shoulder to shoulder with the men
that might have been" For, according
to DR.. Jordan, "the men that died in

WANTS 10 DO MORE FEEDING.

Canada wants to do more in feeding
''the mot her country" than she has
done. One result of the visit of Sir
Wilfred Laurier, the Premier of Can
ada, to England, is the promotion of a
company to be known as the Canadian
Food Supply Association, which is es-
tablishing big stores and restaurants
and bakeries where everything sold or
served will be Canadian. The proposed
capital of the association is s2,275,000,
and among those interested in it are the
Earl Of Aberdeen, lord Balfour, of Bur
leigh, and Lord Stanmore. 1t is claimed
that though Canada is capable Of fur
nishing Great Britain with one-third Of
all her foodstuffs, such as flour, butter.
cheese, eggs. etc, the Dominion at the
present time sends but seven per cent.
In the bakeries only Canadian flour
will be used, and different farinacious
foods will be prepared in the Canadian
fashion. In the restaurants an en-
deavor will be made to bring the Lon
doner to an appreciation Of Canadian
cooking. 1t is also proposed to erect
cold storage warehouses for the more
perishable kinds of food such as fruits.
vegetables, fish and lneat. Part of the
scheme is to have Canadians subscribe
to $750,00o of the stock, and in an en-
deavor to raise that amount an agent
is to be sent from England to the Do
minion.
This will interest the United States,
which is in the feeding line itself.

The Susquehanna river will soon have
to work harder than it has worked.
Three electrical plants are planned to
make it yield some of its silent power.
A company which will be capable of
generating $1,000 horsepower is al
ready under way at Conowingo falls,
with 100000 of capital, to supply
near and far towns with light and
power. A second one is planned at
McCan's ferry, with $4,000, 900 capital,
and intended to generate 10000 horse
power, while third plant is to be built
at York Furnace, with the modest cap
ital of 100000, and of a capacity of
10000 horsepower.

This great, prosperous and still COM
paratively free country is so attractive
to the poor and oppressed of all ma
lions" that it is hard to keep the un-
desirable poor and oppressed out. We
have some laws which are intended to
work so as to keep them out, but they
are more or less evaded. Investigation
in Europe shows that immigration by
way of Canada is being encouraged and
that persons who could not be admitted
at New York are persuaded to go to
Montreal and then make their way
into this country by various routes.

WHEN REASONABLE MEN GET
TOGETHER.

The agreement just made between the
American Tin Plate Company and the
Amalgamated Association of Tin
Workers offers an example of sweet
reasonableness worthy of emulation.
The company has been DESTROYS to fur
nish the tinplate for the lare number Of
Oil cans used by the Standard Oil
Company Company in it's export bust
ness. This tin has hitherto come from
Wales. as the law allows a rebate of
the duties on the tin when it is ex-
ported in manufactured form. Thus the
Welsh tin could be obtaind for export
cans at lower price than the Ameri-
can manufacturers were willing to sell
their product. They felt, however that
they could cut down the cost Of manu-
featuring somewhat, and took their
employers into conference. They con-
WINGED the workers that this new BUSH
ness, which would mean more work for
them, was enough worth having to do

THE CANADA GOOSE.

When we think Of migratory birds 60
ing NORTH" or South" there is one
mental picture which most of us have
clearly in view--a long line of large
gray birds against the sky, with necks
extended and with wingbeats as strong
and regular as the strokes of piston
rod. Later we may think of the swal-
lows, and Of the waves Of warbiers
which pass in the night. but our first
thought will probably be Of the flying
squadrons Of Canada geese, whose
trumpet voices herald the spring, and
six months later announce the dying Of
the year.
A few days ago I was walking along
the shore of a lake, trying to count a
flock of black ducks which were bob
bling like corks in the shining water a
hundred yards off shore, when I heard
to the north Of me the honking of geese.
They were flying quite low and were
headed for the lake, SO I hid myself
that they might approach without
alarm. AS they came over the water
they wheeled and passed above me like
a cloud, for moment shutting out the
sun. Then they circled towards the
lake, descending every instant, the light
flashing from the whittier parts of their
plumage, until they swept fearlessly
into the water, which Kissed and
seethed and sparkled as they launched
their blunt-prowed bodies. There were
thirty eight of them in all, and for some
time they were busy splashing and tip
ping and preening their feathers, mean
while honking with great animation.
Presently they passed from view around
bend in the shore, and next morning
they left the lake to continue their jour
ney southwark.
The Canada goose is the largest of our
wild geese, measuring sometimes more
than forty-three inches from the tip of
it's bill to the end of it's tail. It is a
very handsome bird, and both its plu-
mage and its carriage make it an at
tractive feature Of any collection of ma
tive water fowl.
The Canada goose has a white patch
on either side of the head and another
white patch at the throat; the rest of
