LONDON, Dec. Sir Jervoise A.
Barnes gave his inaugural address be-
fore the Royal Statistical society re-
Gently. his subject being The recent
growth of population in western Eu-
rope" The population with, which he
dealt numbered in 1900 about 239,0O0,-
600, and his remarkable conclusions
will doubtless cause much comment.
He said that the Teutonic element
in this population rose from SO to So
per cent. and the Latin fal, from "A to
40 per cent. ireland alone having an
actually decreasing population, the
decrease being over II per cent The
general increase was just under 81
per cent.
A generation ago the marriage rate
was held to be a good barometer Of
prosperity but new factors had entered
into the case. Statistics indicated, on
the whole, slight falling off in the
general rate during the last thirty
years, more pronounced amongst the
already low rates of Scandinavia than
elsewhere, and in France, and Italy
than in the central countries. 1t was
in the south that woman seemed to
have the best chance of a husband.
though from Denmark southwards
Central Europe was apparently on the
upgrade in this line.
OF all the progressive countries Fin
land presented the geratest falling off.
In ireland there was decline of near
ly 19 per cent. and in the last decade
less than third of the women were
married. The increased avoidance of
matrimony was most marked through
out the United Kingdom and North
Scandinavia, and this, in the north
ern aggregate, almost neutralized the
growing connubiality of Germany and
most of its neighbors, and even of the
already much-married Italy.
The deliberate limitation of tho
number of children born into the world
is not by any means a new idea. but
untI the present generation it was in
france alone that the systematic
adoption of the limitation of offspring
without abstention from marriage per-
meated the whole of society.
Judging from the returns at hand.

have a simple way Of escape from the
situation-through the wedding ring.
But most of the supporters of the
Platonic friendship, for some unknown
reason. seem to prefer to put the thing
to the test under conditions where
the wedding ring is an imprisonlne
bar instead of a loophole of escape.
l wonder if by any chance, it IS
the element of danger, rather than the
Platonic friendship, that they enjay?
Haven't you just as much time
right now to do your Christmas shop
ping as you will have the week before
Christmas?
Haven't you just as much money
now, or can't you have it if you will
but use what you have for that and let
something else wait bit, as you
would the week before Christmas?
And won't you enjoy your Christ
mas day a great deal more if you
know that you had no share in help

You certainly will deserve to enjoy

How many mothers would send a
little girl, only ten or eleven years old
to the store with a hundred dollar
bill?
Very few, I think.
But the mothers who will trust the
same little girl to take her baby
brother or sister off in it's carriage and
wheel it up and down entirely I'M
supervised, are legion.
And yet I can't believe they think
of a baby as any less valuable than
hundred-dollar bill.

YOU Those of his friends who have
had previous experience of his hospi-
tality on these special occasions, are
specializing keenly as to what sort Of
an entertainment is in store for them
With the arrival Of winter the
question again arises, what is to be
done for the unemployed derelicts who
nightly wend their way to the Thames
embankment, there to huddle together
on the seats, under the archways, and
even on the pavement. Quite an army
of 600 men and women, but mostly
men, young and DID, either out Of. work
or to old to work, all human wreck
age, can be seen there every night.
They have neither home, lodgings, food
nor money. The Church Army and the
Salvation Army have fed these out
casts with soup and bread. Lady Knill,
the mayoress, has personally visited
the embankment, and what she saw
she declares to be a disgrace to our
civilization. Yet scarcely a stones
throw away-in the Strand-well
dressed men and women nightly hurry
home from theaters, music halls, or
restaurants! The mayoress has de-
cided to commence a scheme OF oper-
ations to help these hopeless men and
women and she has enlisted the SYM
pathy of Mr.. John Burns and other
influential men.

Bavaria, Saxony, Prussia, Italy, and

The famous pianist stopped dead in
the middle of his best selection and
directed the attendants to investigate
the cause of the annoyance. The at
tendant proceeded to the rear of the
hall and after few minutes watching
secured the offender, who had en-
sconced himself in the niche beside
one of the doors.
Two prisoners, Frederick and Kate
Chalker, showed astounding indiffer-
ence when again brought up at the
southwestern police court, charged
with the slaughter of two children. and
with neglecting and exposing several
other children, whom they had taken
into their charge at various times fol

The prisoners, it is alleged, had car

Penge, receiving children from diff

stabulary. He afterwards became
retainer OF Lord Tredegar.
Next month there will be unveiled
at Dover a statue to the memory of
Capt. Matthew Webb, the only man
to swim the English channel. Recent
years have seen many attempts to en-
ulate his great feat, but SO far the
great sailor swimmer, who met such
a tragic end at Niagara, is the only
man to swim from England to France.
Webb made his first appearance as
a swimmer on July 3, 1875, when he

Beauty Needs For Decollette

The girl who expects to wear a low
necked dress at the many little eevn-
ing functions during the holidays must
now look to the care of her throat and
arms and hands.
In these days of high linen collars
and tight-bon stocks, the beautify-
ing of the throat is not a matter for
the last day before the dance. The
close, hot neckbands so long worn
have brought their train of evil-yel-
low and brown discolorations, depres-
sions or ridges from the bones, In
some cases a withered and entirely
unnourished look
The dark marks may in the begin
ming come from a dye in the stock
material, which had grounded in and
ing. The withered look is the result
of squeezing and heating the throat
too much. and it also shows that the
girl has treated her throat like a thing
for pink cotton and not given it any
exercise at all. And sometimes-it
seems pity to say this, but truth re-
qulres ia barred young throat fails
TO be as pretty as it should be from

Denver, June 1.-Everything is in
readiness for the big amateur Mara
thon race to be held at Union Park.
Additional interest was lent to the
event Sunday night by the announce
ment that Gordon Mace, one of the
best known of the local long dis
tance runners, would surely start.
Malbon, another Denver Y. NJ. C.. A.
boy, will help the two Grand juno
tion Indians uphold the honor of
Colorado, and the West.

the Grand Junction Indian school, de-
ciares that his charges are in the best
of condition. Saul Halyve, the Honqut
tribe entry. ran 10 miles through the
mud in strong style Saturday. win
ming the Sentinel Marathon, and Tuly
Gordy will make strong team mate.
The Indians and their escort created
all kinds of attention yesterday. The
red men are even smaller than Hatch
in appearance. but are well built TO
go long distance.
The track has been accurately
measured in order that any record
made may be approved by the A. A.
u. as the Fasteners know that they
are going to be hard pressed and ex-
pect record dbreaking clip from the
very start. The three handsome sill
yer cups for the event have been
placed on display at the May com
pany. The real prize the runners are
after, however. is the trip to Seattle
and also consideration when the Am
erican .Olympian team is selected TO
go abroad. The Fasteners know that
unless they can decisively defeat the
Colorado lads that their chances of
being picked TO go abroad will di-
minish

This is not the case. The manage
