City and Country Children.
One Reason Why the Latter Are
Stronger Than the Former.

Many statisticians and writers on
sociology have noted that. as a rule.
country ehilren are more likely TO
prove strong, bright, and healthy than
city children of the same class: and
many reasons have been addueed for
this One, however, which is possibly
the most potent of all. has been very
generally neglected; the difference in
the milk supply.
1t Is true that some farmers are IN
excusably careless in sanitary mat
tiers, and DO not take the care that
they should take to secure healthy
cows and keep the milk clean. But
even when this is the case, the coun-

and sweet, and unecntaminated by
soiled milk cans and other msanitary
surroundings. \ mother who lives in
the country can, if she chooses. Sc
cure for her little ones pure milk.
and keep it clean. The city mother,
while perhaps quite as DESTROYS Of
securing cleanliness in her food sup
ply, must put faith in the millman
and in what she herself knows of
chemical analysis.
In the long run, country children
do undoubtedly get better milk than
city children, and this may counter
balance such disadvantages as ignor-
ance of parents, scarcity Of good doc
tors, and neglect of some sanitary
precautions. A child which is start
ed in life with a reasonably good
constitution, and given plenty of good
milk, pure air, and room for exer-
else, has a hundred per cent better
chance in the struggle for existence
than one which is stinted in these
three particulars.
1t is recorded that some New York
children find it absolutely impossible
to drink milk when they first come
to the country, preferring beer or
cold tea. Perhaps the latter drinks
are preferable to bad milk, but a
child's taste must be sadly perverted
when it turns to stimulants instead of
the natural food Of young animals.
1t is not necessary, however, that
such a state of things should exist.
City people can secure pure milk If
they are determined TO have that or
nothing. In these days Of Pastcur
lied milk, refrigerators, cold storage.
and quick transportation, it is entire,
" possible for the city child TO get
milk as fresh and good as that which
Its little country cousin drinks. The
milk dealers refrigerators and cans
may be kept perfectly clean with very
little trouble, as any farmer viii tes-
tify. Of course, it would be easier
not to take care Of them, but so
would a good many other undesirable
things be easy. Let us demand pure
milk.

Austria's Great Lose

Austria has sustained a most severe
ana indeed an almost irreparable loss by
the death of Baron Won Kallay, minister
OF finance of the dual empire. and ad-
ministrator of the provinces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina where he has evolved
order out of chaos, and successfully ac-
comphsned a task analogous TO that
achieved by the Earl Cromer in Egypt.
A Hungarian by birth. Baron Won
Kallay entered parliament at Budapest
soon after coming of age. but was di-
verified from political life by the chan
cellor. Count Andrassy. who. appreciat-
ing his abilities nominated him as consul
and subsequently as consul general at
Belgrade. where he made a profound
study of the entire Eastern question, so
that when in 1873 he was appointed the
Austrian delegate on the international
commission for eastern Roumelia, he
excited the unbounded establishment of
his colleagues by knowing all about
everything
The following year he entered the
department OF foreign affairs as chief Of
division. became the right-hand man Of
the minister, Baron Haymerle, and on
the latter's death assumed control Of
the department until the appointment
of Count Kalnocky, when he was made
minister OF finance of the dual empire
and administrator of Bosnia and Herze-
govina. Turkish provinces which had
been placed under Austrian authority by

to recall the fact that he had served

traces Of her former loneliness. She has
contributed in no small measure to the
success of her husbands administration

BOOK NOTES.

In The Henchman" Mr.. Mark Lee
Luther has drawn a very shrewd pic
ture of group of politicians and the
local influence by which they rise. AS
may be surmised women play a dis
unct part though not in the way that
is usually ascribed to them. One of
the characters is said to be a rather
thlniy disguised portrait of a very
famous Republican boss, and another
OF Democratic governor.

Publishing Co., ST. Louis.
Just after the close of the civil war
Hinton R. Helper, of North Carolina,
created something of a sensation by
remarkable book entitled "Nojoque,
Question for a Continent" the object
OF Which was to write the negro out
of America, and even more, out of ex-
istence. Mr.. Helper was brought up on
slave plantation, was a traveller and
student, and made an extensive study
of race questions. In his opinion there
are causes in operation which will in
time exterminate all of the colored
peoples of the earth, as nature had rid
itself of thousands of extinct species
of animals that fulfilled the compare
lively important ends for which they
were created. He quotes freely from
the Bible in support of his theory that
the inferior races were doomed and
that the earth is to become the heri-
tage of the whites. He did not recon-
mend the Sanguinary plans which are
reported to have been sanctioned by
Heaven, long ago, but favored their
determination, as he says it will come,
IOQSn luS IIOr0 S0nllS ana Den6n-
cient agencies of nature. The black
man, as far as Helper found, had never
distinguished himself in any of the
walks of life. and any who had risen
above the common level had the virile
white blood in them. Mr.. Pipkin's
book is the story, individualized, of
the negroes since the war-that is to
say, sketches are given of a large num-
Der of colored men and women who
have made regulations, some national
in character, notably Fred Douglas and
Booker T. Washington, both of whom,
however, are not pure negroes, but
more so than Alexander Dumas, whose
picture occupies a page, and whose
grandmother was of negro blood. OF
the many illustrations in the book very
few faces have the genuine negro char
acteristics. In the more than a gen.

mary and higher educational institu-
tons have been established for the
negro, but call the roll of graduates
and it supports Helpers claim that
those who have made any record, pos
sesS the blood of the white races. Mr..
Piplxin labors to show that all races
are equal, but it is a sentimental argu-
ment, and not supported by the find
ings of any authority on ethnology and
anthropology. We do not agree with
Helper, nor Senator Morgan, that it
is possible to deport the negro, but do
agree with Mr.. Pipkin that as the ne
groes are here the only thing for the
whites to do is to make the best of it,
and encourage their every honorable
ambition to improve and meet all the

Rev. A. D. Harmon, pastor of the

hvered the weekly address to vonno

The Wind in the Tree-By Millicent
Sutherland; published by r. III. Rus
sell, New York
Seven charming love stories are con-
tanned in this dainty volume bound in
green and gold, pretty stories to read,
ana ali or them very different from
each other. There are one or two
little tragedies, several love stories,
pure and simple, and one or two Of
the mysterious, adventuresome order.
But all of them are good, as far as
short stories go. A short story has to
be very remarkable indeed to be re-
membered long, and it cannot be said
that these are remarkable stories, for
they are not, but they are interesting
and well worth the time spent in read
ing them. There is one of the stories,
though, that is distinctly better than
the others. The first in the volume,
1.-The Fate that Follows" is a well told
story of forlorn sort of fishing viii
lage. An old man, half crazed and
blind, lives in a little cot with his
daughter The story deals with the
eve of the girls marriage to a young
fisherman, and the girls mother, once
ballet dancer, now a degraded sort
of creature, comes home and insults
her daughter and her sweetheart. The
young man. in the moment Of anger
which follows, kills the woman The
love of the old man for his wife is pitt
full and the effect is one that stays
