THE WAsHDAY.

1t seems odd that most women
choose Monday as washday, when
Tuesday is preferable, from the fact
that it gives the housewife a whole day
to sort out the laundry, to remove
stains that would become set in wash
ing, and to mend and darn any rents
ana holes in linens and stockings.

To Get In Touch With the Peopl,

To Get In Touch With the People.
Those American schoolteachers who
lean toward the trades union idea for
members Of their profession will watch
with interest a similar movement in
France and Italy which, in spite of
efforts in high places to discourage it,
Is waxing in Importance. Government
opposition to the formation of teach
ers' unions In connection with labor
unions in France is said to have merely
famed the fires.
In France the aim of the teachers is
to amalgamate their interests with
those of the Social Democrats, and
their appeal has in it the ring of true
progress. ''We wish to become men,
bers Of the labor unions" the teachers
declare, gin order to learn their doe
trine of social ethics; also to manifest
our social consciousness. We have the
highest conception of the labor union.
and this seems to us not only created
to defend the direct interests of it's
members, but also to extend the social
action of the members beyond the linn
its of the union into those of society
IN general" These educators also make
the claim that by affillating with the
workmen they will "be able to learn
the moral and intellectual needs of the
people, and with their help we shall
arrange our programme and methods "
This is radical talk for Europe. where
instruction is controlled by the state
and teachers have been looked upon
as class of government officials.

Children and the Bank Book.

Writing in the Nineteenth Century,
Mr.. Charles Dawbarn gives figures to
prove conclusions long limited at that
the stationary population in France is
not due to sterile marriages, but to the
social characteristics of the people. The
proportion of unfruitful unions there Is
the same as elsewhere and the same of
the marriage rate, but the number of
families having but one or two chill
dren is significant To quote:
Are we to suppose that the French are
wanting in the family instinct? No one
who has had opportunities of studying
French interiors in various states of
society could ever suppose that On the
contrary, no people Systematically lavish
more care and attention upon their off,
spring. The reason of the dislike of large
families is rooted in another national
characteristic-the love of economy Eco
nomical in everything, the Frenchman
economies in his children. 1t is the In
huence of the bank book that affects the
population curve. A series of remarkable
Investigations undertaken in Scandinavian
countries and afterward extended to
France prove most conclusively that the
birth rate is in direct relation with the
economical spirit of the people. Where
the spirit OF saving is most highly devel-
oped there families are most restricted.
French parents think that they fail in
their duty If they do not set their chill
dren up in business and leave them
something to keep by for rainy day.
For the mass this is a life problem,
and every newcomer in the family
adds another stocking to be filed as
we'll as another mouth to feed.

the degenerates and willfully idle. The
aged poor Of spotless character in Den

their position involves no social dis

Somebody of the arithmetical tend
ency figured out that Count Witte
will have to raise $1250,O00,O00 to run
Russia this year. He will probably be
able to do 1t. The impression, gained
by short cuts in thinking, that Russia
has been demolished Is a wrong one.
There are bad things in her govern
ment, but there is a great deal that is
pernicious in the opposition to it. The
army is true to the czar, and the people
will probably get as liberal system
OF government as the revolters will ac-
cept If they reject overtures the bay
onet will play part again.
