Mothers" this law says, must
not take positions as nurses until
they have nursed their own child for
at least seven months"
There can be no doubt as to the
excellent effects OF this law, but It is
nevertheless certain that IT has help
ed to diminish the number OF births.
In the country districts, where nurses
come from, these are getting scarce.
The young mother has ceased to be a
source of income to her husband and
family. This does not sound very
sentimental, but It is true neverthe-
less.
Our workingmen and peasants have
always considered their children an
asset as soon as they are strong
enough 10 work. They meant so
many more hands to earn money in
the factory or help cultivate the farm.
The most excellent law regulating the
work OF women aAd children has rob
bed the working classes of one OF the
means which permitted them to have
children that did not mean an abso-
lutely dead burden.
In the north, where the children
go to work in the mines when quite
young, they are still considered as an
asset, and statistics show that in
these districts the population Is still
increasing.
The education laws also have iniiu-
enced the number OF births and any
one can cinyince himself that in the
districts where they are not strictly
enforced there are a greater number
OF children born, while the birth rate
Is lowest where the children are
compelled to go TO school up to the
full age. The schools deprive the
parents of the work OF the children.
There il then great difference be-
tween the causes Of diminished num-
bers OF births in the well-to-do and
poorer classes, but besides the causes
mentioned. there are hundred, not
to say thousand, others.
The actual marriage conditions and
the neglected education of our young
girls. are among these, and It is
squarely up to the politicians to sug-
gest the remedies.

A SECOND MEETING.
The Earl Of stanhops and the Trust
Ing Hlghwayman.

The Earl Of Stanhope and the Trust
Ing Hlahwayman.
One night when the Earl of Stanhope
was walking alone In the Kentish
lanes man jumped out Of the hedge,
leveled u pistol and demanded his
purse.
my good man, l have no money
with me-" said Lord Stanhope In his
remarkably slow tones. The robber
laid hands on his watch.
"No," Lord Stanhope went on; "that
watch You must not have. 1t was CIV
en- to me by one l love. 1t is worth
f100. II you win trust me, will go
back to Chevening and bring a f1O0
note and place 1t In the hollow Of that
tree | cannot lose my watch"
The man did trust him. The earl did
bring the note. Years after Lord stan
hope was at city dinner, and next to
him sat London alderman of great
wealth, man widely respected. He
and the earl talked OF many things
and found each other mutually enter
tanning.
Next day Lord Stanhope received a
letter, out OF which dropped f1oO
note. "lt was your lordshlp's kind
loan OF this sum-" said the letter. shat
started me In life and enabled me to
have the honor OF sitting next to your
lordship at dinner"
A strange story, but the Stanhopes
are a strange race. and things happen
to them that never did or could occur
to other people.-London Spectator.
