The Defeated.

Because it was good to be fighting, to
put forth my strength,
To endeavor myself to the utmost, the
failure at length
Is never less bitter and hard, or lighter
to bear,
Because all the glorious memories of

With the victors who pass me on horse
back good fellows who wony
With stern, ardent faces fed forward
and fronting the sun.
No, failure is comfortless. arid. When
battle again
Is Joined l shall fight all the harder
al last not in vain.
Though my courage was solid and
speckless, my arms good before,
This pure bitterness strengthens and
betters me; no failure more.
AT last l shall win, and that victory
pure shall redeem
All the might lost effort and hope. all
the disapproved dream
And out of the depths of my knowledge
of bitter defeat

Is There Danger From Decline in the
Bjrthrate?

Frederick l.. Hoffman. Statistician OF
the Prudential Life Insurance company
| is quite alarmed over the decline in the
| birth rate, and writes vigorously on the
subject in the May number of the North
| American Review. The problem which
confronts the nation" he says. lis the
question Of the rate of natural increase.
or, in other words, the normal excess of
| births over deaths in each of these ele-
ments, and the physical moral and
mental resultant of intermarriage of
like or unlike ethnic elements" Mr..
Hoffman finds by a careful study of
the census reports and other obtainable
data that the decline of the native-b born
of native stock, and it will only be a
short time when the foreign element
will exceed considerably in natural in
crease the births of native mothers of
native stock, and in illustration he
says: IF we take the age period 25-29,
we find that among the native white
population of native stock lis Der cent
of the women are married, against 1916
per cent of the foreign: but the propor-
ton of native married women at this
age period has decreased since 1890.
While for the foreign born the propor-
ton remained the same" This method
of investigation is applied to later age
periods and data used from available
statistics of New England states. and
the summary is reached that THE ac-
tual deficiency in the annual number
of birthsfof native-b born women of ma
tive stock will approximately amount
TO more than one and quarter mil
lion"
Mr.. Hoffman does not entertain any
hope in race assimilation There is no
of Il i. ~
that there ever will be-" He strongly
condemns the deliberate limitations of
families and finds that this condition
prevails among the educated and Gull
tured, or wealthy, and for it he can find
no justification in morals or in neo-
malthusian economics. A survey of
American colleges for women brings
out the observation concerning gradu-
ates that lin all cases the percentage
of married women is less, the age at
marriage is more advanced. the number
of children is small and large families
are the rare exception" DR.. Stanley
Hall is quoted as saying: From the
knowledge at hand it is plain that our
race would be speedily extinct if it de-
pended upon the rate of replenishment
Of the educated classes.
Mr.. Hoffman finds in his study par
aIlei between America and ancient
Greece and Rome. No argument is
in these days unless appeal
can be made to those historical civiliza-
tons. In the declining days of Greece
were rare and unfruitfuI."
and this principle of decay was the
same in Rome. On the one hand immi-
grafton was marked in both nations and
on the other hand IAN eXtravag antlv
high standard of comfort" Looking
through Grecian and Roman glasses the
writer sees in this country the same
story repeated. The problem is one Of
national well-being and for the states

Artificial Light Useful as eernaicde

| 1t is well known that sunlight pos
sesses germicidal properties, but it has
not been thought possible to rival these
with any artificial source of light. 1t
now appears however. that these prop
critics are due chiefly, not to the visible,
but to the ultraviolet, rays, and that
artificial light sources rich in these rays
may also be fatal to bacteria, and
hence useful as germicides. says the
Literary Digest. For instance, Messrs.
Jules Courmont and r. Nogier have just
reported to the Paris Academy of Sci
ences that drinking water may be easily
sterilized by the use of the quartz mer-
curry vapor electric lamp. Says the
Revue Scientifique in a brief report:
BY means of the Kromayer lamp
Qour amperes and 1876 volts). the au-
thors have obtained an intense bacteri-

ton is complete, embracing all the ordi-
nary microbes of water the colonbacil-
lus, Eberths bacillus. etc, at the end
of one or two minutes even when the
water is etremeIy foul, naturally or ar
tificlally. The water must be clear,

The use of the quartz mercury va

practice in the sterilization of clear
drinking waters. 1t will be sufficient to
arrange the lamps either in d reservoir

For the Liberty Bell.

1t is natural that the Seattle people
should desire to have the Liberty Bell
as one Of the exhibits of the forthcom-
ing Alaska Yukon exposition. Other
eXpositions have been so favored ever
since this country went into the
Worlds Fair business. and the old
bell has invariably proved to be a
drawing card. II is equally natural
that a certain portion of official Phila-
delphia should be in favor of the prop
osition. for when the bell travels it
must have an adequate body guard.
amply supplied with eatables. drinka-
bles and all the conseouentiais of a
real official junket. 1t is easily to be
understood. therefore, that Seattle has
not only asked for the loan Of the bell,
but that her request has stirred UP an
argument IN Philadelphia.
For, be it noted, not only in Phila-
delph.a. but all over the country, thsrc
are thousands who regard these peTe-

For a FIower-Lovfnq Friend.

A woman who has success in rails
ing plants from seed can send a
! charming gift to some flower-loving
friend with a garden. Knock off the
top of egg shells and fill with rich
earth, in which are soWn seeds of deli
cate plants that do not like transplant
ing, as annual peoples, mignonette or
candytuft.
Set the egg shells in a small wood
en- tray with rim two inches deep.
This tray can be made from raisin
box or shallow cigar boxes painted
dark green. Fill it with sand, which
can be kept moist if necessary, and in
the sand imbed the egg seed cases.
The tray can be set in a sunny
window and the plants grown along
until all danger of frost is past, when
the plants can be set out without in
jury to the roots.

minders of the heroic days in which it
proclaimed liberty throughout the
land. 1t is TOO dignified, too holy Il
survival of great epoch TO be hauled
over the country and viewed as curio
by those who buy admission tickets.
Besides, the risk involved in trans
portation is incalculable. The Liberty
Bell cannot be insured. All the insur
ance companies in the world are
powerless TO replace it, if destroyed, or
TO pay for it. 1t means too much to
the country, it is TOO invaluable to be
submitted to the ViciSsitudes of travel,
no matter what precautions may be
taken TO make that travel safe. The
mayor and councils of Philadelphia
have custody of the bell but they do
not own t. Holding it as they do for
the people at large, it is to be hoped
that they will act in the present juno
ture as the better sentiment Of the ma
ton so evidently dictates.

About the Imagination and Its Func.
tions.

Imagination is nothing more or less
than the faculty for realization-the
faculty. by which the mind makes real
unto itself such materials as are pre-
scented to it, writes Clayton Hamilton
in The Forum. The full significance of
this definition may be made clear by a
simple illustration.
Suppose that some morning at break
fast you pick up a newspaper and read
that a great earthquake has over
whelmed Messina. killing countless
thousands and redering an entire prov
ince desolate. You say. How very
terrible!'-after which you go blithely
about your business, untroubled. un-
disturbed. But suppose your little
girls pet pussy-cat happens to fall out
of the fourth-story window. If you
chance to be an author and have an
article to write that morning. you will
find the task of composition heavy.
Now. the reason why the death of a
single pussy-cat affects you more than
the death Of a hundred thousand HUI
