THE SCIENCE OF GIVING.
The Giving of Money Is Not Neces-
sarilY Beneficen ce.

A woman of wealth who has devoted
her life and power to philanthropic
work thus speaks of the uses and obi
cations of wealth.
There is one obligation upon all per
sons, rich or poor Spending money is
only one way of meeting our Obliga-
uons. / have known many cOnsecrated
men and women, almost penniless, who
carried on a great work for the Master,
and they accomplished more real good
than those whose labor ended with the
distribution of wealth.
1T is not enough that we should dis
tribute aims We should be careful to
see that our gifts reach the proper per
sons, and are not placed where they
will accomplish more harm than good.
Many Well-meaning people expend
their money where it really isn't need
ed, While they ignore the urgent cases
which they might discover before their
very eyes. They are not true to their
obligations. They are not commanded
to distribute money, but to do good to
others, and their possession of wealth
should enable them to do good largely.
1T isn't right that we should give to
unknown charities without investlga-
ton. and yet to investigate viii re-
Quire many hours, perhaps"
There was one truth that was forgot
ten by this noble woman, one that all
mOneygivers have not learned-the
truth that no one mind can decide as
to what is the proper method of using
money of charity Only science can
turn benevolence into beneficence.
Most of the money now given accord
ing to ones misguided feelings is sure
~ destined to become a source of evil.
Much of the rest, while not harmful is
not a benefit to humanity. There is no
way in which wealth could be used
with such advantage as in endowing a
permanent commission of independent
and scientific-minded men whose sole
function it should be to advise the
benevolent for what purposes the gift
of money would do the most good to
the world. Some of the great endow-
ments of vast sums were only saved
from absolute failure and loss by the
wise and quiet influence of moneyless
men.=American Medicine

MARRIAGES AND SUICIDES.
Why Are Both of These on the In
crease in ChicagoP

Statistics are supposed to point defin-
itely to certain conclusions Local sta
tistics for the year ended December 1
last are somewhat confusing, however.
The marriage license clerk gleefully
reports that he smashed all records.
During the year he handed out mar
riage licenses to 10000 couples. In 1901
the total was bute18,370 The average
age of the brides was q years: the aV-
erage of the groorns, IS years.
These are cheerful statistics-at least
they indicate cheerful conditions. A
large number of marriages is usually ia
ken to indicate prosperous times. Mat
rimOny and prosperity are supposed to
go hand in hand We know that the
year 1902 was PROSPEROUS one, so our
conclusion is sustained. Furthermore the
age figures would indicate that Chicago
ans have their share of wisdom That
the average age of the bridegrooms was
IS would indicate that the Young men
had sense enough to wait until they had
enough money saved to get a good start
in life.
But now to the coroner's office: Here
we have statistics that point to different
conclusions. The coroner reports that
the year 1902 brought an increase of 40
per cent in the number of suicides in
Cook county. Here surely is a Staggerer.
Hard times and suicides are supposed
to go together Prosperity should have
brought decrease in suicides. And We
know that times have been prosperous.
Moreover, men of good brains are not
likely to commit suicide. From the mar
riage statistics we had Just argued that
Chicagoans had their share of wisdom
We are at a loss to explain the con-
fiict Surely there can be no relation
between the statistics of the coroner and
those of the marriage license clerk
Surely marriage did not drive men tc
suicide2
We have here a mystery that must be
solved if statistics are to retain theiI
value.-Chicago Journal.

DECLINING MEAT SUPPLY.

The prospects for much lower prices
for meat products are not good and
some of those interested in the packing
business assert that higher prices viii
rule in the not distant future This pre-
diction is based largely on the fact that
live stock statistics of the world show.
steady decline. while the human race
is constantly increasing. This is more
particularly true of those countries in
which meat is largely consumed. Asiatic
races are chiefly vegetarian probably
due to the fact that meat in those cOun-
tries long ago became comparatively
scarce, which made it necessary to con-
sumo other kinds Of food in its place.
European countries, excluding Great
Britain, have less than 100000, 900 head
OF cattle, sheep, goats and hogs with
which to feed 80. 00o000 persons. The
United States, with a population only
about one-ffth that of all Europe has
So per cent. as many cattle, As per cent.
as many sheep and nearly as many
hogs. The live stock supply of Europe
is much less now than formerly, while
the population is much greater. France
had 1SS head of live stock in 1875 fol
each 1000 acres of land, While now she
has only 164, although there has been
an Increase in population. Denmark has
dropped from 1877 head to rs. Germany
has only one-third as many sheep as She
had twenty-five years ago, and has lost
in cattle per capita. Holland, Switzer-
land and some other countries make a
worse showing. Even where there has
Deen an increase IN live stock II mas
been much less prOportionately than the
increase in population.
This deficiency in live stock in Europe
has caused a great demand on the
United States, Australia and South
America to make up the supply. Bus
Australia has had a reruarka bic de-
crease in the number of it's sheep in
few years The United States had more
mich cows IN 1892 than it had in 1900
and over 10000 900 more "oxen and other
cattle" in 1890 than in 1900. There has
been large decline in sheep and swine
and at the same time there has been q
very large increase in the population
The western lands used for live stock
have been taken up largely by farmers
and altogether there is no prospect of
such a surplus of animals for food as
formerly existed, and this situation Will
not improve much as the land can be
used for greater profit than that of stock
raising.
Many new articles of food have come
into common use in recent years anu
there is no fear Of lack of food. That
may increase greater than the popula~
ton. But the supply of meat is nor
likely to increase to any considerable
extent, while it is certain, judging from
the experience of other nations, to be
less in the future in proportion to popu.
latiOn than is now the case. That means
higher prices But that will not come
