NOTABLE MISFI7S.

What peculiar ideas some peo-
pie fall heir to, or inherit! Out
landish notions find lodegment
in diseased mind. Now, a Mrs.
Paul Forwerg recently addressed
a woman's club in Chicago, and
during the course of her remarks,
said:
"All mentally and morally de-
fcient children should be put
out of existence at their birth. or
as soon as their defects are
noticed. We only retard our own
development by maintaining them
in public institutions.
This is certainly ultra Goth
century doctrine. How is one
going to discover a mental defect
in an infant? At what age could
the child arrive before it would
become murder to take it's life I?
Under such a law many degener-
ate parents would rid themselves
of their unwelcome progeny. A
deformed child might develop a
mind such as Byron possessed.
On this principle all cripples
should be killed, especially were
they not self-supporting. If such
a doctrine were to be given seri-
Gus consideration, we find it in
our hearts to sorrow that such a
law was not in good working or,
der when Mrs. Forwerg came in.
to this vale of tears.
Next comes DR.. William Osler,
who is about to become the heac
of the medical school of Oxford
University, who declares thai
men are worn out at 60 and few
accomplish anything Of note af
ter attaining the age Of 40 years
What a reflection on some o:
our leading public men! Many
of our brightest men in the United
States senate are past the age o:
60-and they are still accomplish
ing things, and great things, too
On the other hand, there ar
fools at 40. It is a good thing
that DR.. Osler's talk is-cheap.
Following close on the heels O
the above comes the account o
an unique gathering Of matrimo
nial misfts. Many mismated per
sons were in attendance and tn
motto was, United we stand
divided we stand it better. +"
Here is a case hard to dag
nose. You may, in some instar
ces, force people to live together
but you can't make them low
each other. Love is a hot-hous
plant and chooses its own sol
when certain elements are lack
ing in the soil love "winks out
and proceeds to advertise tn
fact that it can stand alone. I
closing this chapter we feel il
spIred to exclaim go it ?"
