Improving Maiden Street.

The owners of property on the north
side of Maiden street from Ridge
street to Iowa street, distance of two
long blocks, are having the street
parked and standard uirb and gut
ter laid along in front of their resi-
dences, to the great improvement both
of the street and of their lawns. A
start in this good work has been made
in several parts of the city, and as its
beauty and utility manifests itself the
movement will become general. The
cost of curb and gutter is no great
er than that of an old time picket
fence, and if rightly put in the work
will endure for generations.
The city ordinance provides that,
with the exception of High and Ridge
streets, and the south portion of Com
merce street, the center of the street,
from curb to curb, to the width of
25 feet,-shall be reserved for public
travel. Where a street is thus laid
out the cost of Improvement and main
tenance is very greatly reduced. In
all kinds of street improvements, side
walks, parking, curb, gutter, and
roadway,-the design should be well
laid out, and the work should be good
and true.
The public spirit which pushes this
kind of work along is commendable.

The Making of a Surveyor.

Seventy young men in the civil en-

Wisconsin have just completed their
four weeks of practical field work in
surveying in the vicinity of Portage,
required for the degree in their de-
partment. This was the seventh year
that the university has held this sum-
mer session for survey work in Port
age, the five previous years having
been spent in typographical and
photographic work near Madison.
This years work was closed Satur-
day night with a fine record, more
and better work having been done
than in any year previous. The stu
dents measured the flow of rivers, as
to their velocity and the volume of

chase price and takes the title to him
self. the other simply agreeing to pay
him one-half thereof on demand is
held, in Norton VS.. Brink (Neb.), L..

MOTHERS SHOULD BE PAST rs.
At Least That Is the Conclusion of
Dr. Bella Revesx.

1 At Least That Is the Conclusion OF
DIR. Bella RevesI.
After an exhaustive examination OF
the causes that determine the size and
weight of newly born children, DR..
Bella Revesz comes to the conclusion
that heredity has nothing to do with
it, says the New York Sun. The size
of the child depends entirely on the age
Of the mother, he thinks, and the older
she is the bigger and stronger the child
is likely to be, regardless of the sta
ture and strength either Of the parents
nr grandparents.
Speaking generally, he finds that the
children Of very young mothers are
likely to be small and i'll nurtured,
while those born to women more than
% are apt to be large and robust. He
considers the reason very simple, the
woman of % being fully matured, so
that no nourishment is expended upon
her development.
From this position the doctor at
tempts TO explain the racial character
istics of various peoples Thus the
Scandinavians, who make late mar
riages, have maintained high stature
and robust physique.
On the other hand in the south of
France and in southern Italy very
young girls are given in marriage, and
in consequence the race has dwindled
In height and frame and even in en-
ergy and initiative. Hebrews In Po-
land are a conspicuous example Of the
evil of early motherhood.
The doctor thinks that the same
principle may account for the small
ness of the japanese, and he Is sure
1t does for the degeneracy of the Hin
class, wherein girls marry young, as
build of city people to be inferior to
that of peasants, and it tends to cause
physical retrogresslon in the leisure
class, wwhereln girls marry young, as
with the class of workers, In
which the young women have to take
up trades or domestic service for sew
aral years before they can marry.
