Statistical Blunders.


1t is believed by many who ought
to know better, and is taught by
alarmists, that insanity, deafness,
blindness and crime are rapidly in
creasing, and that we shall soon be-
come a nation Of detectives and crimi-
nails. Census statistics are quoted in
support of this predictions. There is
no question thu: all these things were
indicated on the face of the earlier
census returns, and it is equ.lly GER
tain that IS a matter of fact none OF
them is true. Insanity, deafness,
blindness and criminality are not on
the increase in our country. 1t is true
that the reports up to 1880 showed a
much larger proportion CT insane, lea
n blind among the population at
each succeeding census. But why?
Simply because We are, able at each
succeeding period to obtain a fuller
enumeration of these classes, and thus
to make a closer approach to the
actual facts. Half a century ago de-
fective persons were kept at home and
their deficiencies were sc%rupulcusly
concealed from public view. In these
later days they r placed in asylums
and special schools, and consequently
are enumerated and classified in a
much larger proportion of cases. The
census of 1890 shows a smaller proper
ton of these defective classes than
did the census Of 1880, and no doubt
represents the true situation.-Tha

Sweden's first armored cruiser was
launched recently at the Finnboda

on this occasion made her first public

"oIav" Is Correct.

Norway's learned men have been
having a controversy as to the proper
spelling of the name Of the little
crown prince. Ordinarily the name is
spelled and pronounced "Olaf," but
the scholars say that it should proper
ly be written "Olav." At the request
of the government, Professors Bugge
and Haegstad have issued a statement
to the. effect that in accordance with
ancient rules the name should be writ
ten Olav.

Children Derive Many Traits from TIER

No two children, even in the same

very dissimilar in disposition and
mental traits. Who can tell what pc

way ancestor-a little child has inner

parent, may be repeating in her tenn

for each child needs to make a special
study, and she need not be surprised
to find herself so often baf1ed and at
her wits end to solve certain prob

take the trouble to Keep a record OF
her children, setting down in a jour

may be able b~y-and-by to assist other

Bryan's Victory in Defeat.

Mr.. Roger Sullivan hit Mr.. Bryan
pretty hard when he declared that all
the money Bryan has he got out Of
politics. This is true; but it is also
true that Mr.. Bryan got the money
out by putting his time in. His first
money came from the sales of book
entitled FtThe First Battle" which
was but "a compilation Of Mr.. Bryan's
speeches in the campaign Of 1896. The
Associated Press furnished the copy
while Mr.. Bryan furnished the speech
es. It was not hard job, as he had
to make the speeches anyhow in pur-
suance Of his ambition to be presi-
dent. The book itself was neither
attractive nor convincing, and has
long since been relegated to the same

dates and hot-foot descriptions of bat
ties he did not see. It has no value.
