How Names Die Ont
GREAT FORTUNES AND A LAW OF NATURE,

In colonial times over one-tenth of
the population of this country was HUI
guenot. Thte strain is hardly discern
ibte today. In all our commercial ci-
ties these French Calvinists were rep.
resented by dynasties of merchants.
Where are their descendants today?
Where are the Bowdoins, the Faneuils,
Jays, Boudinots, Hugers?
If you have ever browsed in that
portly tome, the roster of the Sons Of
the American Revolution, you have
perceived that number of the sons
bearing English names take member
ship by virtue of descent in the fe-
male line from New York or Philidel-
phia Jews who helped finance our in
FAINT government. But why are there
no persons bearing the family name
of these men? Why do they seem to
be without male descendants?
You have known before that there
were Jews in the colonies, that Gran
vile, Mass, was a Jewish seat that
there was a Jewish cemetery in New
port, with no living Jews in the state
| for decades. Now and then some New
Englander Yankee and orthodox con.
gregationalist, tells you that he has
some blood of the New England col
onial Jews, but always by descent in
the female line.
What became of these rich Huguen-
OTIS, those prosperous Jews? why
did they vanish?
They didn't vanish, They are here.
Their blood is here though their names
have gone. Their families ran to girls
in the later generation. And just
here is an agency in the dispersion
and reduction of great fortunes that
has been little considered.
In new countries, and in unhappy
countries, in warlike, disturbed coun,
tries. among anxious, harassed. OPP
pressed people the male birth rate is
high. In times of war and calamity,
1T is high. Nature struggles almost
as if consciously to compensate the ra
wages war and hardship make in the
ranks of the males. In old calm or
derby countries, in peaceful times,
when men are not exposed to dangers,
the proportion of female births in
.creases.
In the fighting disturbed countries
of the Balkans, the percentage of male
infants is the greatest of fall Europe
In our oldest and most comfortable
states it is lower than nour newer
states. It is quite small in the older
countries of Europe. Luxury tends 10
bring girls, hardships tend to bring
boys,
Kings and the English nobility seem
to offer an exception to this rule. Still,
very few of the English and French
nobility are of very ancient creation.
The nobility that began centuries ago
are gone. 1t has been customary to
explain this disappearance by saying
the war of the roses anu the war +
the league wiped them out. 1t is
doubtful if this tells the whole story.
In later centuries they doubtless be-

young girls taking an interest in them
and talking to them. They are not
keenly critical. They may see that she
is shy, and, while tactfully taking no
apparent notice of it, help her to over
come it, gradually bring into their little
circle one or two young people and
help the girl to feel at her ease.
The girl who is shy should resolute-
ly mix with people. The inclination is
to do just the opposite. But she should
not yield to this desire. Mixing with
people helps the shyness to wear off
Sometimes going among strangers Is
more of help than keeping strictly to
ones own circle. She feels freer
among strangers who do not know her,
more like experimenting in her efforts
to overcome her shyness. The very fact
that her friends know that she is shy,
expect her to be bashful and silent
puts a spell upon her at once. Expected
to be will-hower, she Immediately
subsidies into being one. But among
strangers, who naturally expect the
vivacity of young girlhood, she often
unexpectedly blossoms out. If she has
the leisure, taking up some benevolent
work among people who are strangers
will be a great help to her.
BY forgetting self, by being genuine
ly interested in others, the shy girl
can rout snyness. And remember that
though one does not want to be pain
fully shy, to be "adorably shy" is q

venturous life tina nthe mass of the
populace. The army and navy have
been full of the younger sons; the col
onies and our own west have had lots
of them. They are hardly an excep-
ton to the rule. Anyway, it is always
happening that the elder son, remain
ing quietly at home, has family of
girls land so the title goes to a young

Kings families have not run to
girls. But it can be argued that this
is not an exception to the rule. "Un-
easy lies the head that wears
crown" Few occupations show a
smaller per cent of natural deaths
Kings live in a state of constant ten
sion.
A rich family does not begin to run
to girls in the second generation.
While the blod of the fighting, plan

founded the fortune is strong in the
stock, the percentage of boys holds

produces girls.
For curiosity's sake, get some list
of rich families of Massachusetts,. an

civilized, supercivilized in spots-a
state where the fortunes are old%Par-

lies Of one of those ancient, somnolent
coast-lying towns where cats accumu-
late and men decay. Girls. girls girls.
In Chicago, in Illinois, the fortunes
are too new, though in ST. Louis you
can observe the tendency. When
the Chicago fortunes are in trust,
when the possessors merely cut cou-
pons from bonds their grandfathers
devised to them, therell be lots of
girls.
The rich colonial Jews who were
cited to support the argument may
seem to find a contradiction in the
European Jews. At no time in this
country have Jews been persecuted.
Those colonial Jews had riches and
peace of mind. They were in society
with Gentiles. They ran to girls and
their descendants are Gentilcs. The
European Jew lives in a state If more
or less tension. Except in England
he never knows what may happen.
in Eronna Uharo Taug hoyo boo,, 1o-r
disturbed than in other continental
countries, the rich Jews give some ev.
idence of proving this rule. So many
of the old nobility have wives who are
the daughters of rich Jews that few
years ago a popular play dealt with
this phase. Because the rich European
Jews have lived in state of tension
they have not run to girls. But they
do so when the tension relaxes.
AS the proportion of girls among the
rich increases, of necessity they can.
not find for themselves husbands of
their own financial standing. Many
of them marry poorer men ard
the fortune begins to be distributed.
If they believe all who seek to marry
them, do so for mercenary purposes,
as is sometimes the case, the fortune
tends to be distributed, to be left to
many heirs, to be devoted to public
purposes.
So great wealth itself helps to solve
the problems it Creates. and makes
effective provisio for its own distri-
button.

WHITNEY BROS. QUARTET.
The Enterta inment Which is Sure
to Please All.

The third and last entertainment in
the Century Club course comes next
Thursday evening, March 3, and is
sure to be fully up to standard.
Talent, magazine of the Lyceum,
has recently made this excellent criti-
cism on the work and ways of the Whit
ney Brothers Quartet
"They are really brothers, the sons of
a Methodist minister and if any citation
were needed to disprove the old bald
headed libel on ministers sons the Whit
ney boys are excellent examples They
are clean. manly young fellows, whom
TO know is a Joy and an uplift. Not
only on personal acqua ntance, but from
the platform they look like men you
would be pleased to know. None looks
like any of the Others but they are alike
individual, pleasing and manly. As mu-
sicians. they are a delight. They sing
both classical and popular songs in
manner that pleases all. In the matter
of harmony, that all-important quality
in quartet, they excel because their
voices blend most satisfactorily. Their
repertoire consists of a choice collection
of songs including some of the old favor
i''' i'' HAAi ltl0, anu many lHhl are HOb
generally used bv other musical organi-
cations. The Whitneys are simply ire
sistible and sure to please"
Although each member Of the quartet
possesses a marked individuality in the
strength and quality of his voice, yet
there is a certain family resemblance"
If the term is allowable, which causes
them to blend smoothly and delightfully."-.
Their large repertoire includes every
variety of song from sacred to humOr-
Gus, every one of which is given with
precision which speaks of long practice,
and a well balanced union of nature,
method and art. Solo or quartet work,
there is little to choose, unless you per-
fer single voice to four, or vice versa.
Their popularity is evident from the
demands for their time. For three years
they have been kept so busy in the east
that they have not gone west of Mich-
gan during the winter season. The first
season, 1903, they filled about one hun
dred dates; during 1904 one hundred
and thirty, and in 1904-5 and 1905 6 they
had about thirty weeks filled each sea
son. with calls for many dates they could
not fill for lack of time.

FOREST PATROL SYSTEM
BY SIDNEY EsPEY

Washington, August 2O.-(Special.) I'm
protecting forest reserves of the United
States from fire the telephone has become
an instrument of salvation, and there are
many cases on record In the forestry bu-
reau where this modern appliance has
saved innumerable lives and many hun
dred thousand dollars worth of timber.
The installation of the telephone SER
vice in the national forests, where there
is naturally much isolation, is counted
on not only to prove of great conyen-
fence to the men engaged in the .adminis-
tration of these vast tracts, but also to
save property and lives. Former Chief
Forester Pinchot introduced telephones
and the patrol system of the forests and
during the four or five years they have
been in use the system has been extended
until today there are more than 600 miles
of telephone wires strung through the
various reserves.
Those in charge of the reserves con-
slider the prevention and control of forest
fires as the most important and the most
difficult of the work that confronts the
forest reserve force, since fires annually
cause more loss than all other destructive
agencies combined. The records show
that the destruction of timber by fire
amounts to about $50, 000,C 900 each year. and
that at least SO deaths occur annually
from forest fires. Statistics show, too,
that more than 1000 persons have persisted
in forest fires in the United States during
the 18th century.
Experience has taught the officials in
charge of the forestry bureau that 1t is
almost out of the question to cope with
forest fires after they have become fully
started. When they get n good start and
have favorable conditions, such as
brisk breeze and dry weather. the flames
sweep through the forest and over sur
rounding country without meeting any
great resistance. Therefore the officials
of the bureau have determined that the
