cure all ills of the kidneys and blad-
der. Read this testimony; it tells of
a cure that lasts:
Mr.. A. w. Lutz, carriage wood
worker, of 100 18th Ave-, Sterling, ILL.,,
says: after procuring Doan's Kid
ney Pills in the month of November,
1897, took course of the treat
ment which cured me of backache
and other annoyances due to over
excited or weakened kidneys. Dur
ing the three years which have
elapsed, have had no occasion to re-
tract one word of my statement
made at that time. I now unhesi-
tatingly and emphatically re-endorse
the claims made for Doan's Kidney
Pills.

For Bottom Drawer, No. 2.

A lady who was especially fond of bar
gains came home from sale and displayed
her purchases.
"Why on earth have you bought this?"
demanded her husband, taking up brass
plate for door with the name OF ''Wilk-
ms" on it.
"Well, it was so cheap" replied the wife.
"Only think, gave quarter for it; and I'll
be bound it cost dollar!"
But why throw away quarter? What
possible use is it"

know how things viii come in. For instance,

Eggs Absorb Bad odor..

An experienced "henologist" says:
Eggs in way are just as susceptible
to bad odors as is milk. The odor of
onions when fed to the hens is east

duce. A lady friend of ours simply
spoiled her eggs by placing balls
made of creosote preparation in
the nests to get rid of the lice

SHFRLEE MH[TLOCK.

10 tie TOO meagre list of public officers VINO
have done their full duty of late III the race OF
furious mobs the name of Sheriff mtlock' OF
Danyile III has now been added, and no other
stands above il on that roll Of honor. Governor
Durbn of Indiana has recently achieved enVlaole
distinction by his uncompromislEg denuhcatons
OF lynching and lynchers, and by Official acts
exactly conforming TO his statement OF prlh-
ciples. Nor is there any reason to doubt that
he would have exhibited personal bravery equal
10 his moral courage if the occasion had arisen.
The duty which suddenly confronted Sheriff
Whitlock last Saturday night demanded the ex-
ercise of both qualities and he showed that he
possessed them both in full measure. For the
worthless creature in his custody he felt only
detestation but he held sacred the obligation of
protecting him at all hazards. He exposed him
self to the weapons and the missiles OF the mob
without trace of fear or excitement, and it IS
a miracle that he escaped injury. With courage
equal to his own. his wife urged her right to stay
and help him. but he bade her goodby. sent her
away to a place of safety and then calmly re-
sumed his desperate task Of repeling the in
vaders. He had two or three men under his
command, but he did all the shooting that was
done for his side. and did it with surprising
coolness and excellent judgment, deliberately
aiming at the arms and legs of the men who
were advancing with steel rail to batter in the
Jail doors and thus effectualIy disabling them.

have his prisoner removed secretly, and held his
post until detachment of State troops arrived

fed admiration. respect and gratitude of every
good man and woman in the country

RACE SUICIDE IN AUSTRALIA

General Francis A Walker had a theory that
the comparatively low fecundity of the native
American stock was due to the pressure of
immigration. He held that If the American
people of 1900 had been left to themselves the
population would have increased by multiplica-
ton almost if not quite as rapidly as it did by
addition. The newcomers, with a lower stand
ard Of comfort than the natives, pushed into
the unskllled employments making them un-
pleasant for the sons of the natives. AS slavery
made free manual labor impossible so the ig-
norant immigrant made the humber calllngs
impossible for the American stock Young men
and women could not work with these immi-
grants without losing caste, and American par
ents were no longer anxious for large families
when the difficulty of getting them suitably set
tied in life was thus increased
If this theory were correct we should ex-
pect 10 find in Australia a rapidly in
creasing English population. The people are
homogeneous, the country is new every
child, it would seem, must have open be-
fore him the door of opportunity. He can If
need be, start digging with his own hands
without any unpleasant associations. Yet ac-
cording to 7. A Coghlan, the government statis-
ticlan of New South Wales. the birth rate in
all the Australasian States has greatly declined
especially in the last fifteen years and is now
less than that of any European country except
France. The French rate is 90 per thousand
Mr. Coghlan, in a pamphlet entitled The
Decline in the Birth Rate of New South Wales
land Other Phenomena of Child Birth" reports
the Australasian rates as follows: West Austria
lila. 30.49; Tasmania, $3.50; Queensland, 2S. SO:
New South Wales, 27.60; New-Zealand $3.50;
Victoria, 25.77, and South Australia. $500"
More trustworthy information, he thinks. can
be obtained by comparing the number of mar
ried women under the age of forty-five years
with the number of births. In 1901 in New
South Wales there were only 235 births per

MR. cAKroR ON SrREEr SLGNs.

In reply to criticisms Of the sIowness with
which the city is being equipped with street
signs President Cantor of the Borough of Man
haitian offers an explanation which he consd-
ers satisfactory. He says that long search
was made in vain in this country and Europe
for designs adapted 10 New-York: that at last
i've different designs were prepared: that de-
lay was caused by a disagreement between the
city authorities and himself as to the best
models; that necessary consultation with the
Municipal Art Commission took time; that after
an appropriation had been secured it proved
insufficient because he was forced to put up
more expensive signs than those he approved
Of, and that manufacturers, in spite Of urging
were dilatory. Nevertheless, as he announces,
rs per cent OF the borough has been supplied,
and the rest VIII be within ninety days, in case
an additional appropriation which the alder
men have sanctioned is promptly confirmed
In treating Of this matter we are desirous Of
being just TO Mr.. Cantor and everybody else
concerned. but we cannot regard his statement
as impregnable. In the first place, it was not
necessarily a very difficult thing to devise
suitable sign. The Tribune described and Illus
uated one OF the right sort at an early stage
in the protracted proceedings. specifying essen
tal requirements which the best of those long
afterward put up by Mr.. Cantor satisfy rea-
GOEdDly We'll again, MI. Cantor speaks OF 0Ve
designs finally chosen. That was n radical mis-
take. All the signs should have been alike and
uniformly placed. The first appropriation, he
says, was insufficient. That shows bad judg-
ment somewhere 4 sufficient sum might have
been obtained easily. if proper conception
OF what was needed had been clearly presented
10 the authorities.
II is fair 10 admit that disagreements among
city officers whose final accord was required
by the law hndered the work; that observance
of the regulations governing the letting of con-
tracts consumed time; that manufacturers,
with or without excuse, were SLOW. But we
are not Convinced that the long delay has been
unavoidable. II, however, it has been unavoid-
able then there IS a serious defect in the ma
chinery Of the charter. Here was an urgent
public necessity which everybody recognized
and wanted 10 have supplied at the earliest pos

climate birth is slightly lower than FOR some
years. being 1922 in 1891. so this in no way
accounts for The falling off OF other births.
In New South Wales the children under five
years old are actually less in number than
they were ten years ago. while in some States
there are fewer under ten years than in 1891.
In NeW-Zealand complaint is made that there
are not enough children 10 fill the schools.
M. Coghlan notes that the immigration of
young married women has fallen eff in recent
years, Yet in 1887 there were in New South
Wales 112,247 married women under forty-five
years while in 1901 there were 149 247: still the
number of children born was about the same in
each year and in Australia and New-Zealand
there are now annually twenty thousand fewer
births than would take place had the rate of
ten years ago been maintained.
BY this showing there is evidently little
prospect Of a large population In Australasia.
except as it may be recruited by more prolific
races than the one now settled tnere, unuer
natural conditions which would seem to be
ideal for fruitfulness. If the Anglo-SaXon race
in new Australia cannot resist the tendency
to race suicide resulting from its present stand
ards of living and its demands for ease it is
not surprising that in more strenuous America
there is a decided falling off in the growth of
this class of the population. Apparently the
competition OF the foreigner does not account
for the decrease Nor does any peculiar Ameri-
can thirst fer money and purely selfish ma
terial view of life. \ more general cause must
be sought operating at opposite points on the
globe.
