BIRTH RATE TO BECOME NIL.

How the worlds population will
gradually die out was predicted by the
late DIR. Koch, of tuberculosis bacillus
fame. His theory will shortly be pub
lshed in full by Adoloh Zimmerman, a
scientist who was IN Dr. Koch IS conf
dence. Herr Zimmerman says that DIR.
Koch explained in conversations with
him that the worlds birth rate will
gradually dwindle to nil, SO that the
human race will eXtinguiSh itself
through sheer repugnance to perpetu-
ating itself.
DIR. Koch developed his idea thus:
The birth rate OF all civilized people
first remains stationary, then declines
when certain stage of progress Is
reached, or rather when they have be-
come really prosperous. This is sure
sign of degeneration. 1t is the begin
ming OF the end. The human race
must disappear if women become re-
luctant to rear children. | consider it
by no means impossible that human
beings will At some future time diSap-
pear from the earth because children
will cease. By way Of example, may
mention the population Of an island in
the Polynesian Archipelago, who were
happy and contentcd until civilizing
influences were brought To bear on them
A remarkable tendency to race suicide
then became apparent among them
The tribe ultimately ceased TO beai
children, its total extinction could no
be prevented, and this actually en-
sued.
In conversations with Herr Zimmer-
man DIR. Koch referred to the dwindlinG
birth rate in England. France, anC
America. and he foretold tn at German!

SENATORS TO HAVE MAssEUR.

After all the discussion which took
place in the Senate while the legisla-
tive bill was being considered over the
proposed employment OF masseur to
take charge of the elaborate bathrooms
in the marble office building occupied
by senators they will enjoy the services
Of such an attendant.
Provision for the employment of an
attendant OF the bathrooms at salary
Of 81 500 was made by the general de-
ficiency bill, which was reported yes
terday. The hostility to the provision
in the legislative bill wac aroused by
the word "masseur, " and in the amend

yesterday the plain term attendant
is used.

Easily Adjusted Frills.

From ths Boston Herald
Among the latest ideas for making life
easier are frills ready TO be adjusted,
with a few minutes work, to the under
clothes or the flap of a blouse or pillow
cases.
These frills can be had in various de-
signs, some OF them the material hem
stitched or with lines OF drawn work
edged with torchon lace; others with tiny
lines OF beading, again finished with en-
broidery or feather stitching.
For infants clothes these frillings come
with tiny edgings, and there are quiet
openwork effects on heavy linen used for
pillow slips.
The method Of adjusting is to buy
them, gathered into a feather-stitched
band. OF one edge OF the material has a
loosely woven thread, and all the worker
need do Is to draw the thread 10 the
desired fullness.

it by throwing back the long points
hanging outside the dish and cut a tiny
hole in the bottom Of the bag that the
ice may drain quickly.

a bit every few minutes. a neat little
homemade device for cracking silently

About Baking Bread.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
Bread is made from many other grains
than wheat and rye. The bread of India
and China frequently has miliet for its
main ingredient. Peas, beans, and other
seeds are used for the making of cakes
and in South America the cassava cake
is only an unfermented bread made from
tapioca. on the same list, too, might be
placed the oatcakes Of Scotland and the
corncakes of the United States.
The art of baking loaves came to Europe
cutie late in history. Flat cakes were
baked even in the earliest times. but as
late as the beginning OF the nineteenth
century loaf bread was comparatively
unknown in many parts Of the continent.
In 1872 an English captain ordered
loaves TO the value OF s. in GOttenburg
and the baker stipulated for payment in
advance. on the ground that he would
never be able TO sell them in the city II
they were left on his bands.

Cuts and Court Plaster.

From the Family Doctor.
Many people make the mistake of using
court plaster over a cut. The plaster
closes the wound prematurely prevent
ing the natural cleansing OF the wound
and the egress Of any particles Of dirt
which may have entered. II also keeps
the edges moist. encouraging pus forma-
ton. In the treatment OF a cut do not

bleeding Unless an artery is severed.
which becomes evident by the forcible
squirting of the blood. there is no need
of haste. Each movement of free bleed
ing aids in rendering the wound antisep-
tic, as the blood coming from within
cleanses the wound better than any other
application. After free bleeding has been
allowed for a few minutes let a stream
of hot water which has been previously
boiled, run over the wound. This will
cleanse the edges and check the bleeding.
