Childless Nobility.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Since 1910 thirty British peers or
eldest sons of peers have married in
the United States. Of these thirteen
have no children at all, five have no
sons and five have only one son. The
total number Of peers children with
American mothers is thirty-nine, of
whom eighteen are sons.
During the same period twenty
three peers or eldest sons of peers
have married in the colonies. Four
have no children, seven have one son,
eight have two sons and two have
three sons.
That is to say, though the number
of colonial peeresses is seven less than
the number of American peeresses,
they have nearly twice as many chill
dren, and, while six of them have neg
lected to present their husbands with
heirs, nineteen Americans are guilty
of the same neglect.
In the lower ranks of the aristoc-
iacS the nSufeS are even more start
ling. Of Americans who are the wives
of Enelishmen with courtesy title or
baronetcy, there are forty-four. Of
these seventeen, or nearly half, have
no children and eight have only one
child.
1t therefore comes to this, that
since 1910 the number Of titled Amer
leans, exclusive of knights wives, has
risen to seventy-four, of whom thirty
are childless and fourteen have but
one child.
In the face of these figures, the
contention that by means Of Ameri-
can brides fresh vigor may be import
ed into the British aristocracy is
merely ridiculous.

Mexican Water Jars.

The Mexicans do not use ice, but
nevertheless. there is 10 country
where man can get a glass of cool,
sweet water quicker than in Mexico.
The water Jars are made Of porous
pottery which allows the water to
oozc through the material of the
tanks, and the evaporation keeps it
always cool, 1t is note old, like our
always cool. 1t is not cold, like our
that account, as o man can drink
twice as much and never feel in the
least injured, no matter how large his
draughts. Australian ranchmen fire.
quently put water into skin bottles
which they suspend from the veranda,
and the air swaying the skins back
and forth cools the water and renders
II more palatable. ~ MAJ

MANY AFTER FERRIS PLACE
Seven Aspirants for the Position of
Secretary of the Board of
Public Works

H. B. Ferris, the present secretary
of the board of public works, may have
difficulty in retaining his position and
will have to display all his knowledge
TO the civil service commission, for he
has seven rivals for the place. The
position of secretary of the board
comes under civil service and only
can be secured by receiving the high
est grade in a competitive examination.
The place pays a salary of $3.50 a
month and it is probable that as soon
as the board is well settled in it's new
duties the secretary may be made a
notary and his fees in this capacity
will be considerable. There are few
civil service positions paying $3.50 a
month, and this fact has made the
place much sought after.

ut is true that seven different

made and approved by the council on
the same date; they bear consecutive
numbers and were without question all
made as part of one transaction.
ITO speak of these seven acquisitions

opinion, be a subterfuge. If the charter
