of an amusing incident at the St, Louis

suddenly exclaimed: "Why, if there

"Well, girls" continued the dash

poor thing is frightened to death here

of pigeon English to her."
And the girl from the slope walked
over to the small, dainty figure in the
odd dress and seated herself beside
her. She smiled and nodded. The
Chinese lady smiled and nodded, too.
Then the Californian remarked:

Birth Rate Decreasing

Statisticians declare that there is
an alarming decrease annually in the
birth rate Of the United States. In
1890 the birth rate per thousand was
2G.63; in 1900 it was 23 48. The sue
cecding years have shown steady de-
crease until ecclesiastics Of all dcnom-
nations have raised their voices in
protest against condition of things
which they declare to be denoralizing
TO the human race. There are many
causes to which the decrease in birth
rate in this country can be attributed,
but it is probable that the most i'm
portant factor in the change is the de-
libcrate and voluntary avoidance of
child-b birth in the upper circles of So
ciety. This being SO there is little
prospect that the birth rate in the
United States will show any increase
in future years. The lcssening Of the
birth rate may not be regarded as be-
ing in itself an evil, or that it will be
worth while to attempt to increase the
birth rate merely for the sake of main
tanning constant increase in popula
| tiun, because neither to this or the next
generation would such increase be ben.
cicial. But considered as one of the
signs Of the forces which are at work
to modify the existing conditions Of
society, some Of which appear to be Of
evil tendency, The decrease of the
birth rate merits careful consideration
by statisticians, sociologists and all
who are interested in the physical and
moral wellbeing of the inhabitants of
this country.
We remarked above that the tend
ency to have no families is practically
confined to the upper circles Of So
ciety. A prominent New York di.
vine recently declared that married
women Of the wealthier classes now
considered it extremely "unfashsion.
able" to rear children, and he furthe,
stated that to meet this condition al
the sanctity OF marriage was trampled
under foot.
We take it that this declaration
will not be disputed by those who
have taken the trouble to investigate
the matter. This modern sin, how
ever, is not confined to the United
States, but it is practiced extensively
in France and osher countries of Flu
rope. We do not suppose that all tht
preaching in the world will ever pu
a stop to a practice which is little
short Of murder, but the fact remain:
that the evil exists, and if we com
plain of decreasing birth rates We
have not far to seek for the primary
cause Asheville Citizen.

How Atlanta Was Burned.

Today is the anniversary of Sher.

Some Notable Surrenders.

General Williams, you have made
yourself name in history, and pos
tcrity will stand amazed at the eudur-
ancc, the courage, thedisciplinc which
this siege has called forth in the re-
mains Of an army. let us arrange a
capitulation that will satisfy the de-
mands Of war without disgracing hu-
manity." In these noble and gencr-
Gus words did the Russian General
MouraviciF address the gallant man
who for six months had conducted the
defense Of kars against overwhelming
odds, says the St. Louis Globe. Demo
crat And it was only when cholera
had devastated his garrison and there
was no longer scrap of food left that
the intrepid Fenvick Williams would
even listen to such word as surren-
der.
When the great Napoleon had play
ed his last card and realized that the
game was over he wrote this letter to
the prince regent: "Royal Highncss-
A perry to che factions which divide
my country and to the enmity of the
greatest powers of Europe, I have ter
minated my public career, and I come,
like Themistocles, to seat myself at
the hearth of the British people. /
place myself under the protection of it's
laws, which I claim from your royal
highness, as the most powerful, the
most constant and the most generous
of my enemies. !"
Then Napoleon walked with proud
step and gallant bearing on board the
Bellcrophon and surrendered himself
to Captain Maitland-thc first stage
Of his journey to exile and death in
St. Helena.
Another historic surrender was that
of General Lee to his adversary,
Grant, in the civil var. When, ut
the end of his long and keenly fought
duel with Grant, the Confederate gen
'eral found himself hopelessly hemmed
IN by an overwhelming force of the
enemy, he accepted Grants invitation
to surrender "in order to avoid useless
cffusion Of blood The conditions
were made easy and honorable for him
by his generous foe, and on April 8,
1868, General Lee handed his sword
to Grant at the Appohatox court
house, while the remnant of his once
great army, now reduced to 27,S0O
men, followed in his wake, leaving
their weapons behind them. Thus one
of the most destructive wars in human
history came to dramatic aud honor
able close.
AT that supreme moment in the
destiny Of Napoleon III. when he
found himself at Sedan with the de-
moraliEed remnant Of his defeated
army, surrounded by 100000 of tho
cnemy's troops, he sent the following
note to his conquerer, the Prussian
king: "My brother, Is am not able
to die at the head of my troops, /
place my sword at your majesty's
feet"
On the following morning the
crushed emperor and Bismarck met in
the sordid Upper room of weaver
cottage, aud the terms of surrender
were arranged. 1T was the most un-
comfortable hour I ever spent in my
life," Bismarck used to say later.
In fact, l felt more awkward than
whom, as young man, had partner
at dance who wouldn't or couldn't
