Nature's Mockery of nusenic..


From the New York World.
At Better Babies contest in Jer-
sey City the first prize was awarded
to boy fourteen months old, APP
praised by the judges to be 100 per
cent. perfect The child is a waif,
cared for by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children. The
mother, a former employee of the Jer-
sey City Hospital. has disappeared
and we are told the Judges have tried
in vain to find her SO it is an ADAM
doned infant, left to a society that
aims only to prevent cruelty, who
triumphs over tenderly nurtured chill
dren of mothers with loving hearts
and happy homes.
1t is one more example OF Natures
mockery of human reason, notable at
this time mainly because we are in
the midst of an extensive agitation for
establishing official medical and police
regulation of marriage as a means o.
improving humanity.
BY control of the breeding and of
the environment of domestic animals
we have succeeded in achieving a fair
ly sure control of their offspring in
certain physical aspects Upon the
human race, however, all efforts at ar
tificial control have been vain. In the
palaces of kings weaklings are born,
while from founding asylums where
the waits and strays of unwelcomed
babes are sent there not infrequently
comes forth the strength of will and
intellect that makes commander Oh
men.
Science. art, culture, wealth and all
the thousand comforts and cares of
civilization may combine in a house
hold, the father and mother may be
all that father and mother ought to
be, but Nature alone holds mastery
over the mystery of birth. She mocks
at rules and confers her favors as she
will

I.auoerIsIn in England.

From the London Post.
The returns of pauperism issued
last week have been supplemented by
the annual report of the local gov
eminent board of poor law admins
tration. The board points out that
the prosperous trade and compare
lively small amount of unemploy-
ment recorded in the year ended in
March last are reflected in the re-
turns of pauperism. On the first of
January, 1913, the rate of pauperism
to population was 21.7 per 1000, q rate
lower than that of any previous year
The mean number of paupers of all
classes relieved WAS 1926. or 21.5
per 1000 of the population. This num-
Der is slightly in excess of the num-
Der for the preceding year, but the
figures for July we're exceptional
owing to the occurrence at that time
of the trouble in the transport trade.
The unfortunate disputes in this and
the coal trade, which took place a lit
tie earlier, made the year a very diff
ficult one for many boards OF guar
dams The monthly returns of pau
peIism show that from April to July,
1912, when these disputes were in
progress, the number of paupers ex-
ceeded those at the corresponding
periods of the previous years by from
1904 to 2S,630.
Much of the decrease in the num-
beers of persons relieved by the guar
dams is stated to be due to the OPP
GRAFTON of the old-Hge pension act
The diminution is mainly in the num-
Der of persons over seventy, who
were in receipt of outdoor relief, and
a comparison of the figures of March,
1906, with those for January 1913
shows reduction of IS per cent.
Other recent legislative changes, such
as the unemployed worknen act, the
establishment of labor bureaus, the
feeding of school children, the medi-
cal inspection and treatment of school
children and the unemployment and
health insurance schemes have in
some degree modified the problem
with which the guardians have to
deal, but for the most part it is as
yet too early to trace their effect in
the statistics OF pauperism.
Statistics furnished in the report
show that on the first of last Janu-
cry Gel 664 persons were in receipt
of relief, these figures being exclusive
of paupers classed as insane or cas-
ual paupers, which bring the total
I'D to 794, 227--a decrease of 1854 on
the previous year.

How Athletes Are Made.

From the New York Mall.
Glenn Warner, the coach of the
Carlisle Indian School athletes, says
that the great success of the young
Indians in football and other sports
is largely due to the fact that all the
Indian pupils have led an out-of-door
and active life before they came to
the school. This is true, but it does
not wholly account for the very large
proportion of successful athletes
among the small number of Indian
students IN this country. Another
and important factor is the Indian
psychology, which has for ages been
implanting in the males of the race
precisely the qualities which make
them good competitors In sports. The
Indian brave did not work. He
played, as we should say; he hunted,
chased game on foot, fought his enc
mics almost constantly in swift eX-
petitions on foot or in canoes, ran
races, swan races. danced; and i'll
all this he accustomed himself to the
endurance OF hunger and thirst, of
the seVerest physical tests and Of i'm
fiinching persistence in the attempt
to overcome something or somebody.
Something of the early Indian
spirit is needed in the development
of proper athletic sririt among our
boys. The Boy Scout movement, the
passion for camping and woodcraft,
the canoe, the swimming pool, Will
make American youths of the future
the greatest athletes the world has
ever seen.

Prom the Brooklyn Eagle.
William c. Brown, the retiring
president of the New York Central
Railroad Company. says in a formal
interview on the railroad situation
~ believe we are approaching a
crisis when the influence of every
thoughtful conservative. patriotic
citizen must be exerted to the utmost
to stem the tide Of socialism =.
cannot but believe that government
ownership of the railroads of the ma
ton would be a dangerous mistake
:. If the moderate advance Of
opinion, it will be impossible for the
railroads to secure the funds with
which to make improvements, with
out which expansion of the commerce
of the nation must gradually come to
q halt. In that event, If it should
come, the demand that the govern
ment provide funds necessary to sup
ply adequate transportation facilities
will be irresistible, and government
ownership and operation with what
ever it involves, for veal or woe, to
the nation, will be the inevitable re-
suit"
Arthur Curtiss James, a member of
the Rock Island executive commit
tee, returning frcm an inspection tour
Of the system, makes this declara-
ton:
Business in the Rock Island terri
tory is very shaky on account of the
political situation, and the continued
harassing of the railroads by the vari-
Gus public utility commissions. As
result, the railroads will either go
broke or become government-owned.
1t may be noted that these two
views coinciGe absolutely with that
expressed few weeks ago by former
President Mellen, of the New Haven
system. The Socialism that Mr.
Brown fears is not political Socialism.
1t has no relation to the party
strength of the Debs people. No
body is dreaming of the election of
Debs as President or of a Socialistic
Congress. 1t is the drifting move
rent toward expecting government
&c do what ought to be left to private
enterprise, that presents the peril.
That this is q real menace can hardly
! denied, especially, but not exclus-
lively, in the field of railroad activities.
'rhe nagging by State governments,
and the nagging by the Federal gny-
~ nment; the nagging by shippers and
the nagging by labor uni'ns com
bjne to weaken the railroads. Yet, as
Mr. Brown holds, the service must, be
extended by private capital. or by
public funds as the country grows,
and investors are growing very shy.
1t Is indeed time for thoughtful,
and patriotic citizens to
stand together against the tide of So

Old Friends

There are no friends like old friends,
And none SO good and true;
We greet them when we meet them,
AS roses greet the dew;
No other friends are dearer,
Though born of kindred mold
And while we prize the new ones.
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friends,
Whereer we dwell or roam,
In lands beyond the ocean,
Or near the bounds of home;
And when they smile to gladden.,
Or sometimes frown TO guide,
We fondly wish those old friends
Were always by our side.
There are no friends like old friends,
To help US with the load
That all must bear who journey
Ger life's uneven road;
And when unconquered sorrows
The weary hours invest
The kindly words of old friends
Are always found the best
There are no friends like old friends
To calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
Through lifes declining years;
And when our faltering footsteps
Approach the Great Divide,
Well long to meet the old friends
Who wait the other side.

and fifteen minutes at a time and the
schedule of the United Traction
Company was ripped up the middle
and busted all ways. Every time a
horse went down a crowd gathered
around and a person standing at
State street and looking up North
Pearl street could see little knots of
people gathered in the street every
100 yards or so.
Tie grade of the street is also very
bad for horses, for when horses are
travelling either north or south they
are on a side hill that always proves
slippery and makes il hard for ami
mails to keep on their feet. Whenever
the streets are slippery teamsters will
avoid North Pearl street.

saying: In that bundle, Mr.. George
has Immortality
As Mr.. Swinton was very fond of
testing I did not know exactly how
to take his remark. I observed. how
ever. that Mr.. George made a gesture
OF modest dissent as though to init
mate to me that Mr.. Swinton was
paying him too high a compliment
Then 1t occurred to me that there
might be within the cover OF the
bundle some manuscripts which Mr.
George purposed publishing in book
form.
That surmise was correct. II was
tho manuscript of his famous book,
Progress and Poverty which, If my
recollection is certain, was published
a year or two later.
After brief further conversation
Mr.. George ,bade us good day, and
then Mr.. Swinton said to me:
Years ago I met a man who seemed
to me to possess the most original

is the discovery of DR.. Maurice de

platonically, is a form of mental
poisoning comparable to physical in
toxication. BY means of delicate cleo
trical instruments which record
every infinitesimal movement of the
nervous system" DR.. de Fleury said,
he has obtained charts of the condi-
ton of sufferers from this ''passional
intoxication" and found how to
treat it.
He puts love in the fifth category

ranges according to severity as fol-
