WILL rHE nAcr prE ourf

Prof. Stanley Hall. President of Clark University, recently published a paper showing that human repro- duction decreases as the race advances In education and intelligence. To put his conclusions in one brief sentence he affirms that "when any portion of the human race reaches a certain point of advancement 1t ceases to reproduce itself in sufficient numbers to maintain itself"
 This is the conclusion he has reached from a somewhat extended investiga- ton among the most learned and ad- vanced of our population. the gradu- ates of male and female institutions. and the conclusion is not an encourag- claration that the human race is only kept up through accessions by and through the lower orders. By theterm Tower orders" we do not mean the debased and criminal classes but the uneducated and partially educated distinguished from the highly educated and professional classes.
 This conclusion Is rather a disturb ing one but the condition is not alto gether desperate. It is no islander on the higher intellectual portion of the population of any country to say that its mental and physical strength must both be kept up by the infusion of new blood from a lower stratum of so- ciety. Tn short, if either the mental depended entirely on the higher in tellectual Aportion of 1t man would cease to exist in a few generations. This is not a reflection on higher edu- cation or on the highly educated, but is a statement of facts. To put 1t plainly the highest development of the strictly intellectual faculties is detri- mental to physical reproduction.
 It is not to be inferred from this statement of facts that the scholarly portion of our race will vanish from the earth. This could only occur through the complete segregation of the classes ,and this Is not going to occur. The lower orders are contin- ually climbing up. not only taking the places of those above them, but infus- ing new blood into those who occupy a higher intellectual plane. In short, the race will not die out as long as there is plenty of strong, virile mate rial to keep it up, and that material is in the common people"

JUGGLING WITH TIME.

The Nebraska brethren are having a good time Jeering the Omaha World Herald for a bad fall down it got lately. Omaha was in the Presidents itenerary and on the morning he was to arrive the paper came out with q big write-up of the event and of his reception. As is we'll known the Pres idential party out of deference to the feelings of Secretary Loeb, cut across lots and didn't go to Omaha at all. thus putting The World d-Herald in the uncomfortable position of giving a full account of something that didn't occur It was cruel, but the Nebraska State Journal thus comments:
 There was a time not so very long ago when evening papers were printed in the afternoon and morning papers actually went to press in the morning Now the publishers presume upon the ignorance of the public to such an ek- tent that evening" papers are printed as early as 10 o'clock in the morning time to catch trains leaving at 6 o'clock on the night before. Under such fearful and wonderful system it Is necessary to anticipate events sOHlSMldlt anu lnS that DeIell The World-Herald will overtake all of them sooner or later. Mir. Hitch cock can afford to bide his time.
 This method of juggling with time is not altogether uncommon. and 1t is not creditable to the newspapers which indulge in 1t. It simply amounts to deceiving the public. and that's all there is about it. In order to reach Montgomery in the early morning. for example, a so-called morning paper will be printed and mailed on the even ing of the day before. The readers of that paper imagine they are getting all the news of the night preceding when in fact they are getting none of 1t. That these sooners sometimes get caught is no matter for them but 1t fails to turn them from the evil of their ways.

 No doubt there are many who still look upon the Indian as a being who will not perform physical labor under any circumstances. Such will read the following paragraph from The Cherokee Advocate with surprise:
 The strawberry crop this year has given employment to a whole lot of fullblood Cherokees. We are told that there are several hundred of them picking berries just across the line in Arkansas. Wherever they have picked they have given the very best satisfaction and one man in particular, says he will employ nothing but full blood help next year. He says they go about their work quietly, have little to say to anybody and are strictly honest.
 From this 1t is evident that the full blooded men of at least one tribe are not so averse to manual labor as has been thought of them. It is quite true that picking strawberries is not at all hard work but 1t is an occupation that demands both care and patience, as we'll as industry, and the fact that those Cherokees have given such sat- isfaction is creditable to them.

MT. F. J. Waldo. veteran newspaper man of Rising Sun, Indiana, Is In Mont gomery on his annual visit to his sons, Messrs. W. W. Waldo and o. B. Waldo, who have resided here some time.
 MT. Waldo, although "A years old, IS still actively engaged in publishing The Rising Sun Recorder and Is perhaps lisherIin his State. He was born In Vevay, Switzerland County, Indiana in 1881 and as a boy 14 years old began as an apprentice printer in the news paper office of his home town. Since that time he has served without inter ruption in various branches of the newspaper business, record of sixty years.
 The fine old gentleman was per sonal friend of Lincoln and he Is proud of the fact that the war President made him Postmaster at Vevay. He con- tinued to publish a newspaper at Vevay until 1873 when he removed to Rising Sun and established The Recorder, which he has made successful ana influential newspaper of that section.
 MT. Waldo Is accompanied to Mont gomery by Mrs. Waldo, who Is rela- tive of Edward Eggleston, the famous author, her maiden name having been Hoosier Schoolmaster." was born in vevay himself, and the people who move in his great story were the real folk of Vevay, the little Swiss settle ment of Southern Indiana.
 MT. and Mrs. Waldo celebrated the fif- tieth anniversary of their wedding some time ago. Both of them are hale and away from the rigorous climate of their Indiana home and with their two Mont gomery sons again. They will remain here about two weeks.

Study the HOrse's Mouth.

If owners would only lay out a little
more money in the purchase of bits
there would be fewer bad mouths and
more comfort among their horses, says
American Cultivator. AS it is, most
people appear to be welded to one pat
tern Of bit, and If 80 are extremely dis
inclined to adopt any other. The result
is that the manners and mouths Of
their horses are permanently injured
and accidents occur which might other
wise have been avoided. If horse own
ers, breakers and stud grooms would
only remember that there is a vast diff
ference in mouths and many a horse Is
driven half mad by an unnecessarily
severe bit a good deal OF money could
be saved and many I'D equine reputa-
ton would be spared. 1t by no means
follows that a horse which pulls will
lose the habit If he Is driven in q Sc
we're bit. Very often it is just the re-
verse, and therefore the study Of their
horses mouths should be the care Of
every owner.

HINTS FOR
The Cow In Summer.

Professor Norman Of the Indiana
experiment station says Of the care Of
dairy cows in summer: If it is possible
to provide q dark shed, where the cows
may go In the middle Of the day to
avoid the sun and flies, it is u most
profitable provision. Most dairymen
find it desirable to continue the grain
ration throughout the summer, reduc-
ing the quantity when grass is flush
and lessening the proportion Of corn
and other heating feeds.
Most COW owners have something on
the farm which they can feed to sup
plement pasture. The important thing
Is to do 1t. The professor says the
farmer should not allow the COWS to
shrink. as a %shrinkage Of two or three
pounds a day Is not merely u loss for
the time being. but is very great loss
throughout the remainder OF the sea
sol Make your plans to prevent this
loss. Have q patch of corn where it is
the least trouble to get it to the cows.
Chop the stalks up in bits an inch or
two long, and the ows will eat both
the leaves and the stalks with a relish.

millionaire is often paradedi in the public
prints as a horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealth. But m%illionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the %toilers. Dyspepsia and indi-
gestlon are rampant among these people,
and they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail them
selves of a standard medicine like Green's

They Bought Burning Houses.

AINy oOUH nuE41Itk nUUS%8s
One Of the strangest businesses In
ancient Rome is mentioned by Juvenal
in his "~Satires," and we hear OF it also
from historians. 1t consisted Of buy
ing houses on fire. The Spectator
hurried to the scene. attended by
slaves carrying bags of money and
others carrying TOOLS Judged the
chances of salvage and made a bid to
the distracted house owners. who.w We're
glad to accept anything as a rule. The
bargain struck in all haste, this earli-
est Of fire assurers set his slaves to
work and secured what he could.
Sometimes even he put out the flames
and so made a coup. 1t was a busi-
ness for capitalists, but the poorest
who speculated in a small way could
hardly lose if be bad presence, of mind
enough to grasp the chances.
Thus Cato the ehfer, and, above all
Crassus laid the foundations Of their
wealth. The latter had a passion for
such gambling. BE gradually collected
a force Of carpenters, masuns and such
arthcers slaves, Of course which
reached 800 men. Not only did he buy
houses on fire, but also, enlarging upon
the common practice, be made q bid for
those adjoining which stood in danger.
His proposals were commonly well
come, so helpless were the people and
80 great the peril. By this a Cras-
sus became the greatest owner Of
house property in Rome.
