Like pretty much everything else,
this matter of having children has two
hi1es to it. AS great many children
are failures and as children are the
Joint product of heredity and environ
ment, both elements preponderantly
under parental control, it would seem
more sensible to say that there were
too many people undertaking parental
responsibility instead of too few. And,
further, parenthood has many cares
and sorrows and exasperations. Still,
when all is said, how many persons
who have found themselves childless
at forty-five have been able honestly
70 congratulate themselves?
Children have use as an assurance
against restitution and loneliness in
old age They are satisfactory to the
vanity for family Immortality. But
more than these and all other advan-
tages is the advantage Of prolonging
ones life Growing children will keep
any proper man or woman young in
spirit and in mind, will retard the de-
velopment of that sour yet complacent
cynicism which curses old age both for
oneself and for those about one.

right sort of man or woman-who has

The Flight of the Locust.

Writing in the Empire Review on the
locust in South Africa, S. B. Kitchen
says: Locusts are very tiny creatures,
at most two or three inches long, yet
giant jawed and shelled in a grim
brown mail so hard that as they strike
it causes a sharp smart. They travel
in such numbers that it takes them
four or five days to pass over. The
scouts alone, lowering in patches like
red dust Clouds, are numerous enough
to destroy the vegetation of district,
while the main body, high up in the air,
host of little black specks, stretches
out into an interminable screen be-
tween heaven and earth. The tanning
Of their wings brings a fresh GOODNESS

of summer. There seems to be fresh

In Cations Tropical South Africa
it is stated that the Dammaras use no
term beyond three and that when they
wish to express four they take to their
fingers. Beyond five they cannot count
at all. It is seldom, however, that they
lose in a bargain through their inability
to count. When bartering, each sheep
or OK or whatever they may be SELL
ing must be paid for separately. If
this rate of exchange were at the rate
of two sticks of tobacco for one sheep
it would greatly puzzle a Dammara to
accept four sticks for two sheep. Gal
ton says that he several times paid
them in that way and that the Dam
mara forthwith set aside two sticks for
one of the sheep, and even when he
found that he had two sticks left for
the other sheep he still had his doubts
as to the genuineness Of the transac-
ton and was not satisfied until two
sticks were put into his hand and one
sheep driven away and then another
two sticks given to him for the other
sheep.

HANSON GRAPPLED WITH THE ROBBEE.
when this process was completed the
retort would contain about fifty pounds
of gold
Just then Johnny Hanson, the night
man on the concentrators, entered the
assay office to pay a visit to the as
sayer On entering the door he found
himself glazing at three revolvers, as
had the assayer; but, being impetuous
and young, instead of throwing up his
hands he grappled with the nearest
robber and shouted Justify for help.
The assayer, turning invOluntarily
from his corner, saw three desperate
men trying to choke Johnny into ST.
lence and so seized an iron pinchbar
and struck wildly at the nearest foe
man. In an instant the butt of re-
volver crashed on the assayer's temple,
and he fell like a stunned oxIt to the
floor.
But now the camp was aroused. The
Superintendent of the mine pistol in
hand, was crowding in the doorway,
and behind, more formidable, were
burly men, the day crew of the mill.
Then it was that the first shot was
fired. Who fired it no one ever knew,
nor could any one tell clearly after
ward what followed. Crash after crash
the reports rang out inside the little
assay office Fighting like wildcats,
the tangle Of struggling men surged
through the narrow room. Furnace and
scales and lamp and glass f1uX bottles
were swept in wreckage to the floor,
end through the darkness leaped the
long, red splitting of the Colts. And
then, somehow the fight passed through
The door into the open, and the miners
were madly racing into the night after
an enemy that had fled up the canyon.
The chase was soon abandoned, and
under the direction of Big Meade, the
mill boss, the assay office was inspect
ed. On the floor lay johnny Hanson,
Munson, the superintendent, and Gill
more, the rock breaker man, all dead.
A hundred yards from the assay Of
flee one of the miners returning from
the chase found three horses tethered
to q tree, and a great JOY filled the
camp when the discovery was made.
The pursuit. short as it had been, had
been too close to permit the robbers to
seek and unite their horses.
At daybreak the posse, twenty r>ount-
ed men, started in pursuit. A light
wagon followed loaded with provisions
for three days, and, significant of their
stern purpose, a coil of manila rope lay
upon the seat.
Hour after hour the posse galloped
over the prairie, it's front spread out
like a line of battle over ten miles,
that the fugitives might not run to one
side. In such way they covered near
" forty miles. Then Meade, who was
riding in the center, halted and called
to the men on either side of him.
1--WE must have passed them" said
Meade when most of the riders had
gathered around him. We've come
as far as they could have come with
out horses in this time, and we can see

REAL POPULATION OF CHINA.
Recent Census Shows It to BE About
age, AT 900.

Recent Census Shows IL to Be About
42s, AT 900.
Some doubt has been thrown by re-
cent travellers upon the correctness
of the accepted notion that China il
land of teeming population, says the
Philadelphia Record. 1t has been as
serted that the human hives along the
seaboard and the great rivers Of
China ought not to be taken as a
basis for estimates, that IN those parts
of the empire which lie on the main
routes of traffic (the natural and ar
tificial water courses) the population
OF China is comparatively thin.
A census recently taken by the
Pekin government for the purpose Of
assessing taxes to meet the indemnity
payments seems, however, to prove
the accuracy of the Oldest estimates.
The census shows that the eighteen
provinces of China proper contain
1881, 305 inhabitants; that Man
churia has S,500,000 and Mongolia,
Tibet and Chinese Turkestan a little
over 100000. The total population
Of the empire is 426. 1875, according
to this enumeration. The absolute
reliability Of Asiatic statistics is ques-
toned; nevertheless, the agreement
of the results of the census with the
accepted estimates is SO close as to
invite confidence. The statement that
the Chinese empire contains one-third
of the human race will hereafter be
regarded more than ever as an ap
proximate truth.

them come so quantity put up that it
is a delight to have them on a toilet

English Floating Island.

There is a floating island in Der
wentwater, England, not far from Lo-
dore falls. Its travels are restricted
to alterations between the bottom
of the lake and the surface. When
moved to retirement it sinks and re-
mains in water seclusion for periods
which vary from a few months to as
long as seven or eight years. Its ex-
istance above or below water appears
to be determined by the presence
within the island of gases whose guam
tity governs its buoyancy. Esthwaite
lake, in the same neighborhood, boasts
a not less puzzling but more amenable
island. This has served as ferry
boat to conduct as many as fifteen
persons at time across the bosom
of the water upon which it rides.
