guished medical authority was 100000
The result Of the medical examina
tion Of young men who volunteered
for the Boer war, however, had the
most influence in starting the present
discussion regarding the deterioration
Of the English race. For example,
Mr.. ornold White reports that at Man
chester 5000 ont Of 1000 were found
TO be physically unfit to carry a
rife or undergo the fatigue of disci-
plinej and even Of the 5000 accepted
only 1900 had the muscular power and
chest measurement required by the
military authorities"
OF course, unfavorable conditions
Of life, erowding, insufficient nutrition
and employments which prevented
proper physical developments are
largely responsible for such results.
But, also, medical and surgical and
sanitary science is now saving vast
numbers Of weak and defective lives
which formerly were weeded out Of
the community.
The percentage Of deaths Of chill
dren under FIVE years Of age has been
reduced greatly. Buds which would
once have fallen OF the tree in decay
are saved, but the persistence and
propagation Of these detectives bur
den society.
What shall be the remedyi Left
to itself, nature, under the Darwinian
law, settles the matter by allowing
only the flttest TO survive. The pagan
Greeks applied that law artiheially TO
human beings For generations, as a
writer in the Westminster Review re.
minds us, they suppressed the con.
genital idiot" the deformod, and, in
fact, those who in infancy gave no
promise OF being able to take an ade-
quate part in life" "and consequent.
ly formed a splendid, intellectual,
handsome, clever race, to whom mod.
ern civilization and culture owe so
much" Christianity and all civilized
modern sentiment of course forbid the |
revival OF any such method of perfect. |
ing the human race. The great effort |

Of the Subway Tavern Company at Il
O'Clock yesterday morning, and al

bartender digested Mr.. skidmore's in,
structions, and 10 the questioning Of
the curious he remarked, shooting his
chin over the bar:
''Went away, went away! We've
cut out the DoIology and the lallapa.
loozahs. We're on the level, and we
stand for no kiddin' Sect"

II was true, said he, that the ven.

start There were numerous reasons
for the failure. First Of all. New
York is full Of sinful ginmiIls that
