SURVIVAL OF MAN

(By Charles e, Woodruff. NJ. d.
So much popular attention has been
given to the diminishing birth rate
in civilized races that it is astounding
there has been so little said as to its
real significance as natural law
which has been operative in all species
OF plant or animal. man included,
whenever the conditions of existence
demanded it. In the struggle for eX-
istence there are thousands of factors
determining survival, and the number
of offspring from one pair of parents
is strictly regulated by these factors

Wonder of Plant Memory.

Plant memory is a problem for the
inquisitive botanist. says the Dundee
Advertiser. In 1901 plant allied to
the squash and pumpkin was taken to
New York from the desert of Sonora,
in Mexico, and since then it has been
kept-without watering-in strange
climate $500 miles from home. Dur
ing the six weeks of rain in the des.
ert the plant grows its leaves and
flowers and perfects it's seed. Then
1t dries up and leaves only a water
filled gourd, which d thick, hard shell
seals against animals and evaporation.
The transplanted specimen still re.
members the rainy season of six
weeks. 1t wakes, sends out rootlets,
stems and leaves, and then dries up
again until the following year.

GUIDES CHILDREN.
Experience and Mothers Love Make
Advice Valuable.

An Ills. mother writes about feeding
children:
IF mothers would use Grape-Nuts
more for their little ones, there would
be less need for medicines and fewer
doctor bills.
IF those suffering from indigestion
and stomach troubles would live on
Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a
short period they would experience
more than they otherwise would be-
lieve.
"Our children have all learned to
know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an
appetizing, strengthening food. 1t is
every evening, with few variations,
like this: Mamma, let's have toast and
Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or let's have
eggs and Grape-Nuts'-never forget
ting the latter.
Zone of our boys in school and Is
years of age repeatedly tells me his
mind is so much brighter after having
Grape-Nuts as a part If not all his

Hostess, Trade Union.

What is wanted is a hostess trade
union, a powerful combination of So
ciety women pledged to maintain their
own self-respect, and to extinguish
socially any man guilty OF the slight
woman has every right to expect. The
drawback to the formation Of such a
society lies in the fact tha, unfortu-
nately being respected neither by men
nor by each other most women do not
respect themselves either-Ladies'

Saved by a Soma.

A boy was amusing himself by
watching the birds that were flying
around him At length a beautiful
bobolink perched on rough bough Of
an apple tree near by.
The boy picked up stone, and got
ready to throw it at the bird. The
BIRDS throat swelled, and forth came
the song: "A-link, a-link, a-link bobo.
ling, bobolink, a-no-sweet, a-no-sweet,
! know it, l know it, a-link, a-link;
don't throw it, throw it, throw it."
And the boy did not throw the
stone, but dropped it on the ground.
why didn't you stone him, my
boy? You might have killed him and
carried him home"
The little fellow looked up and re-
piled, Couldn't cos he sang so."-

In the long run a species must re-
main stationary numerically or dimin-
ish, for II cannot increase to over
run the earth. Hence the death rate
is exactly equal to the birth rate as a
rule, and there is a death for every
birth. 1t may be stated in other terms.
No matter how many offspring there
are, nor how long the parents live, nor
how often they produce, all the on
spring perish except two on an av-
erage. and these two take the place of
the parents to keep the species
numerically steady.
II is evident that II new enemies of

Struggle for Existence.

On the other hand, It frequently
happens that sheltered breeding
places arc selected where there are no
enemies, and all the offspring are
raised Those which produce the least
number are better able TO produce
good ones, and If the animal must feed
and protect the young. the drain Is too
great If many offspring are produced.
There is then a selection or survival
of those which are the most vigorous
that is, those having the fewest off
spring. In time this process results
in very small birth rate. Some sea-
birds, for instance, lay but one egg a
year
These are the rules operative also
In the case of man. There was time
when he was struggling for existence
in far different way than he now
does. He could not give much care to
his children, and when they contracted
diseases he simply watched them die,
for he was ignorant of the ways of
curing them. The infantile death rate
was enormous, as 1t is at present in
the savage races.
The brain of primitive man In
creased in size from the survival of
the most intelligent in each genera
tion during this awful early struggle
with g. severe environment, and then
civilization gradually arose by reason
of this increased brain. Men were
able to raise children which formerly
perished.

Birth Rate Of Past.

The ancients did not leave any very
authentic records of the population of
their cities or countries, but such frag-
mentary information as has descended
TO our times shows a steady and con-
tinuous growth in the number of the
worlds people, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. While the birth rate, proper
tionately, was perhaps greater in some
parts of the world 1000 years ago than
1t Is today, long years Of warfare and
commissions OF nature, to say nothing
OF accident, assassination and disease,
kept the growth of population within
a narrow rate of progression.
Only the barest estimates OF the
population of the world are possible
before the nineteenth century. Even
now a universal census is wanting, but
the present means of estimating lead
TO more reasonable results than were
possible so recently as hundred
years ago.
The cry that the human race is
dying out was not unfamiliar in
ancient Rome and In Sparta. Efforts
were made in those states to rectify
the failing birth rate by enacting vari-
GUS laws. In the meantime a new
world has been discovered and the
globes population, despite innumer-
able natural and artificial drawbacks,
has grown probably a hundredfold.
"The American Idea"
An American woman, Mrs. Lydia X.
Commander, known as woman suf.

which she tries to show that what she
calls the American race-not Indians,
but the people who have stamped their
individuality upon the couutry-is dis
appearing. She declares that two chill

lily, rich or poor, educated or unedu'

Philadelphia The latest estimate
OF the total population of the world is
1,4S7 300, 600, yet a French statlstician,
DR.. Meslier, has just published some
figures by which he strives to prove
that the human race is dying out.
Limited to the birth rate in Europe
an and few other countries of white
population, DR.. Meslier appears to
have established his case. His figures,
at any rate, are startling, but, as he
leaves out of consideration some OF
the most populous countries and pro
life peoples-the Asiatlc races---it is
doubtful If he maintains his position.
Taking the years OF 1881 to 1903. he
says that for every thousand married
women from Is to 55 years of age
taken from differenS countries the
births have decreased in England is
per cent, ten per cent in Scotland.
ten per cent. in Bavaria, seven per
cent. In Italy, seven per cent. in

cent in France, II per cent. in Den.
mark, Is per cent. In New Zealand, "a
per cent. in Saxony, % per cent in
the state of Victoria and 33 per cent.
In New South Wales. AS the census
returns of the United States for 1900
are as yet incomplete, there are no
satisfactory figures upon which Dr.
Meslier can carry his comparisons to
this country.
If the birth rate figures are missing,
the mortality statistics of some 36 of
the principal cities of the United
States show that there is an appreci-
able decrease in all but two cities =
New Orleans and Columbus-betveen
