DIR. Eugene F. Talbot, an authority
on degeneracy, and President Roose-
welt would hardly agree in regard to
large families. The President de-
plores small families as bad in many
ways and calls them race suicide, "
while Dr. Talbot informs Us that there
is no family OF eight or ten children
that has not at least one degenerate.
The reason he gives 10 that no woman
has the nervous energy necessary for
the prenatal nourishment Of 90 many
children. 1t ls not likely that DR.. Tai
bot would make such q statement un.

general opinion OF mankind. and not

Wesley, in advising his preachers In
regard to choosing a wife. said, Take
one out Of a bunch" and his advice
would be just as good for anyone else
as for preacher. II would be risking
little to say that nine out of ten OF
the great men and great women Of
the world have had "a bunch" OF
brothers and sisters. We. would risk
just as little In saying that the chill

race suicide" progeny. II the world
were compelled to choose between the
blotting out Of all its small families
and the blotting out of all its large
families II would not hesitate a mo.
ment to doom the small families. Fam
lilies are small so that the children can
enjoy greater advantages, but we con-
stantly see them ecllpsed In the race
Of life by the children of larger fam.
lilies with fewer advantages, who are
not only stronger and smarter but pos
sess a social nature and unselflsh traits
that are more valuable to humanity
than strong bodies or bright minds.
This Is the order Of nature. and It IL
useless to try to change 1t. DR.. Tai
bots mOralizing about fast living and
neurasthenia and about the necessity
for sound health and good nerves in
order to successful motherhood is all
perfectly true. but what he says about
excessive motherhood, In itself con-
sidered, is not borne out by common
observation. Nature never intended
motherhood as an injury to a woman's
health. No one can greatly blame pa
rents for preferring two well-clad and
well-educated children to eight ragged
and neglected children, but the fact Is
that the two are far more apt to be de-
generates than the eight.

WhitewashInr the Trsss.

WhItewash may often be applied to
fruit trees, especially apple trees, to
good advantage. For this purpose the
brine may be slaked in the usual man
ner with cold water, though hot water
is preferable for that purpose. BY add
ing some skimmilk to the wash 1t can
be made to adhere better to the bark.
To make 1t adhere still better, some
people add thin solution of glue to
the wash. This whltewash should be
of such consistency as to be easily
applied with spray pump, and the
application should be made in the
spring. 1t aids In keeping off fungous

Chinaman's "Home Paper. "

The Chinese Weekly Herald is one
of the curioIs institutions of New

leans, for, being printed backwards, "
a white man must stand on his head
to read 1t. Outside of a similar publl-
cation in 'Frisco's Chinatown this Is
the sole printed medium for news from
"home" for the thousands of New
York's almond-eyed half-citizens. 1t Is
to be found just as regularly in Chi
nese laundries as the comic weeklies
in an American barber shop. When
the laundryman goes out Of business
his successor carries on the subscrip-
ton. The out-of-town circulation is
greater than that in New York.
Scores of its subscribers cannot read
1t. The Herald Is a four-page paper,
about half the size of an ordinary
news sheet, and always disconcerts
Americans, because 1t opens at the left
side instead of the right. The COL
umns run crosswise instead of up and
down, and a fash-view Of the sheet
gives the impression of a scrambled
