Growth In Charities,

The growth Of a new line OF chart
table activity is shown in the addition
Of chapter to the 1905 edition Of the
Charities Directory published by the
Charity Organization society. This
new chapter gives information of Or
CARNATIONS which send nurses to the
homes of needy persons as distinct
from the nursing Of the poor in hos
plta1s, convalescent homes, fresh air
cottages and other institutions.
The Charity Organization society
movement shows a steady growth.
Since the 1904 directory was published
about twenty new societies have been
added to the roster in the United
States, making 100 in all, and the re-
lief societies listed In Europe and
Australia now total 21O.
The directory contains 1000 names
of societies, institutions and other
charitable organizations in Manhattan
borough, about half as many In Brook
Ign and nearly hundred in Queens.

George Bernard Shayv's Latest.

"A child Is defined as a little darling
for limited periods" says G. Bernard
Shaw. 1T is in reality savage, cruel,
noisy, dirty, intolerably inquisitive and
tndiscreet to the point of telling the
truth on all occasions, regardless Of the
feelings Of others. The boarding school
is the child's only security from the de-
moralizing influence Of home, and there
Is nothing more demoralizing on the
earth than the middle class home. Nor
al instruction Is all nonsense, while at
tempts at formation Of character ar.
futile and should be given up. The bur
den Of minding children should b
shared by all, including bachelors maid
en- ladies and nervous persons, instead
Of throwing it on servants and school
masters. Children should be taught a
little reading, writing and arithmeti
other subjects should include how t,
jump or tram cars, the use Of rail-
way time table, electioneering and the
universal language" 81 81

MONUMENT TO A NEGRO GIRL
Her Life in Rc~cring a Child
From Dunger-l1cr llero,m

New Orleans States: \ few days ago
the editor Of the Ii1tel Rock Gazette
wrote a letter to the New York Sun de
~cribing the devotion and heroiSm Of
Catherine Lawson, 1 ~ gro girl - years
If age. who brnvely sacrificed her life in
saving that of white child who had
been placed in her care as nurse. This
child, a little boy tWcnty-one months old,
while ont with his nurse ran on the
street car tracks upon which car was
swiftly. Catherine Lawson
saw the danger the child was i'll when
the car was not more than twenty feet
away and rushing to her little charge
seized him and threw him clear of the
track. but before She could get out of the
way herself the car struck her down
and the wheels crushed, out her life. The
child thus rescued suffered no serious
injuries and the hcroiSm displayed by
the cu1orcd girl as we'll 4, her devotion
to the child 50 appealed to the white
people Of Little Rock that steps were
taken 10 show thc community's appre-
citation Of the great sacrifice that had
been made. The editor Of the Little
Rock Gazette says:
"A public movement was at once
started to build a monument to this ne
gro girl, who is the daughter of 4 wash

have already been voluntarily made
"Scvcn years ago a number of people
gathered in the Capital theatcr in Lit

to four negro skitfmcn who had saved
a number of white people from drown

Lawson deserves 4 monument and the
whole South will wish success to the

negro girl gave up her own life to save
that of little white child entrusted to
her care. We quite agree with the OBJ
Of the Charleston News and
Courier that it would impress our
Northern friends with the fact that
here is a close sympathy between the
white and colored people of the South
which was never disturbed until certain
Northern fanatics believed it to be their
mission to array the negroes in hostility

BIG FAMILIES.
They Were Common In the North OF
England lii Ol4len Days.

The north of England seems to be a
fertile soil for large families, for in
1897 we read Of a Cumberland man
and his wife, accompanied by thirty Of
their children, all attending the chris
tening Of the thirtytirSt child, and in
earlier years another north country
man, Thomas Grccnhill; applied to the
then Duke Of Norfolk, carl marshal, for
on the singular ground that he was
the seventh son ami the thirty nntII
child Of one father &n.l mutlcr.''
In Conway churchyarl there was t.
be SCENT can scarcely be there today
"A tombstone bearing the following
remarkable epitaph: Here lyeth the
gentleman, who was the forty first
child of his father, William Hooker,
by Alice, his wife, and the father Of
twenty seven children. 1884,
If mans family be considered as
including all his descendants, that of
Peter Smith, who tourished in New
Jersey in the seventeenth century, is
entitled to high place Of honor, for at
Il recent annual gathering Of Peters
progeny no fewer than 1000 met and
dined together under the apple trees
in the orchard attached to the ancestral
homestead.
In families it is not an unknown
thing for one child to be old enough to
have a sister or brother young enough
to be his or her great grandchild. Thus
the eldest son Of Thomas Beatty of
Drumcondra had passed his seventy
third birthday when his youngest
brother qualified for the cradle When
William Frost Of Galphay, near Ripon.
died in 1850 his eldest child was a
sturdy boy Of eighty eight summers
and his youngest was barely sixteen,
and the Lady powerscourt Of today is
half century older than her latest
brother
There are cases on record whore a
century or more has divided the we'd
ding days Of father and son. The first
Earl Of Leicester was first married in
1775, and his son led his second wife
to the altar in August, 1878, while Cap
tain Francis Maude who was married
on June 90 1910. was following the
example his father, Lord Hawardcn.
had set him nincty-three years earlier.
in 1856 But both these cases are quite
eclipscd by that of General G. Steven
son Of Bristol. who was united to his
third wife in 1884 at the age Of eighty
two and whose father was first wed
in 1904. the year Of Blenheim. This
seeming impOssibiiity is accounted for
by the fact that the father, who was
born in 1850, was married for the third
time at the age Of seventy. and the gen
eral was the son of this late union.
Thus we get the remarkable result of
man whose father was born in Charles
lis reign wooing and wedding within
the memory Of many people still living
London Tit-Bits.
