Birth Rate Lowered.

There may be no connection between the
two facts, but It Is a coincidence that the
gradual abandonment of the homes Is ac-
companied by a reduction in the birth rate.
England used to. be near the head of the
list in the statistics of births, being sur
passed only by Austria. Hungary and Italy.
but nowadays II is down considerably lower
almost. although not nearly, so low as
France. In st. Botolphs Church, down on
Bishopgate street near the American con-
suiate. saw this morning a monument 10
the memory OF Agnes wife of William
Bond. who bore him sixteen children. eight
boys and eight girls. Mrs. John Gully,
mother of the recent speaker of the house
OF commons. had twenty-four children. A
shoemaker In Nottingham who died a few
months ago at the age of eighty-two had
been the father of thirty-two children, of
whom twenty-seven outlived him. Mrs.
Chester, still living In the Midands. Is the
mother of thfrty-threei children, and there
Is record of Scotch weaver whose wife
bore him stxty-two children including
thirty pairs of twins.
While these may be exceptional cases, II
you will look through Burke's Peerage you
viii notice that nearly all the nobility, the
dukes and earls and baronets, have large
families. 1t Is not uncommon to find eight,
ten and even twelve children In the list OF
lords and ladies. but the noble families are
growing smaller like those of ordinary peo-
pie The reason for 1t among the upper
classes is the disinclination OF women to
take care Of the babies, because 1t inter-
