It is not true that the human race has undergone a physical degeneration since the dawn of history or during the thousands of unrecorded years which have elapsed since its appearance on this earth. The idea that in their phy- sical characteristics our forefathers were superior to ourselves is due to the inyeterate tendency of the human mind to idealize the past and to assume that everything was better than 1t is now in the good old days. and 1t is no more justified in this particular respect than it is in any other. There were giants in those days just as there are giants now, few of them, individuals whose abnormal development is the re- suit of disease which morbid path ology has recognized and classified. but that there ever was a race of giants there Is no reason whatever to suppose.

of the campaign. States which are neighbors with kindred interests usu- ally vote in about the same way. There Is thus an element of personali- ty imparted to the commonwealths. Of the eleven which in 1856 voted for Fremont, the first Republican candi- date. eight have never since that time voted any other ticket In Presiden- tial election. Of these Fremont states, New York and Connecticut have sup ported the Democratic nominee ill seS- eral great contests, while Wisconsin has been Democratic once. On ac- count of the upheavai produced by the Civil War and reconstruction, but few of the nineteen States which voted for Buchanan nearly half a century ago have been steadfast in their Dem ocratic allegiance Illinois and Penn sylvania switched 10 the other side i'll the very next contest; the former has been Democratic but once since that time, and Pennsylvania never.

None has been invariably Dem ocrattc, although West Virginia voted for Tilden in 1876. and for every sub sequent Democratic candidate down to Bryan. A group of these States which are west of the Missouri have been Republican except when the sil

The real winning of the West Is not an accomplished fact. It has but jus, begun. And the work that is now be ing prosecuted in the West is more important than any that has preceded it and more interesting What the West needs is water.

Flats and Home Life.

As a general proposition. 1t may be safely stated that every time inven- tive genius seeks to tighten the bur dens of housekeeping or bring it up somewhere near the standards of eco nomical efficiency reached by other in- dustrial sciences, he disturbs what is populariy called 'domestcity and menaces home life" It is true that great fireplace. with its cracking backlog and brass andirons, is more 'home-like" than a steam radiator. Every man likes to regulate his own heat in winter, and sit beneath his own tree in summer But the flat was not designed for bank managers or merchant princes.
 The fiat encourages matrimony and domesticity. for the reason that if it were not for the Hats hundreds of young men of moderate salaries who are obliged to be at their places of em- ployment at an early hour would have to forego the pleasure of married life. The flat Is not an ideal place in which to bring up large family. But it is great boon to young married people who have not reached the point where they can afford to keep an establish ment." The fiat is an evolution from industrial conditions in the metropo- lis. It admirably meets the necessities of modern life. Any ordinances de signed to regulate the construction of Hats should be directed toward mak- ing them freproof and securing per feet sanitation and ventilation. rather than the curtailnent of their benefits.
