She sat in a nook alone with me-
How often, l wondered had tears believed
Those big, brave eyes in her solitude
She seemed like a vine that Destiny

Swept over my soul like a tropic storm;

Lest she might sense it and misconstrue

How Race Will Be Bred.

A day when the propagation Of
the human family will be under
as strict a law as the breeding Of
fine fowls or blooded stock, with
the additional element of religion
to aid science. Fine animals are
bred by science-the science of
careful selection and wise mating.
But It requires more elements
to produce a splendid specimen of
the human family than a perfect
animal.
Fine feathers make fine birds,
and tender flesh and certain pro-
ductive and salable qualities COM
plete the well-bred fowl.
The bred horse needs fine
points, speed and carriage. But
the perfectly bred human being,
such as the world waits to well
come, must be mentally equipped
and morally endowed. as well as
physically developed, and all
these traits should be equally
balanced.
The man OF stunted or de-
formed body or giant proportions,
the anemic and undeveioped tenn
permanent or the oversensuous
and self-indulgent, the material
minded or the spiritual bigot, are
all types to be eradicated. The
ideal race-the coming thorough
breds-will be men of good stat
ure and strong vitality, intellect
ual and reverent, and all ANNA
ted with an ambition to work to-
gether toward the betterment of
this beautiful world. Deform-
tiles and degenerates will be I'M
known, save as accidents.
There are few deformed ami
mails, because animals. even when
left to themselves, breed their
young more according to nature
than the average man. All de-
formity of mind and boGy is the
result of wrong conditions-ig-
norance, self-indulgence, extreme
poverty and extreme luxury. BY
and by the wise people of the

THERE is a certain quality in
each of US, a quite normal
and natural human quality,
which makes us rejoice exceeding
ly when we are proved to be
right in any forecast Of events.
Perhaps this quality may be
called vanity, but it is an excusa-
BILE vanity, as indeed many phases
Of vanity are excusable.
The egotistical and conceited
human being is insufferable; he
is a misfortune to himself, be-
cause he is so certain of his sups-
riority over his fellows that he
makes no least effort to improve.
But the being possessing van
ity is always on the alert to do
better and better; to keep up with
the times, to be alert, to be proven
right. Therefore, If it be vanity
which prompts these words, let be.
Ten years ago, I published the
following:
~ ONE months ago received a
- letter from that good wom-
Emma Sickles, in which she
said:
ut is to be hoped that the day
is not far distant when men see
it is a far more serious thing to
bring life into human existence,
Of suffering or degradation, than
it is to end the earthly existence
Of that life, and that they are
quite as responsible to God and
to society for the lives they bring
into being as they are for the lives
they murder"
That day is not as near as Miss
Siclles hopes, yet such a day must
come.

Science will establish laws and

This was done in the days Of
old Greece, but woman was not
allowed the intellectual freedom

world was more cruel and pos

The time will come when it will

how much they can do to-day by
keeping their minds uplifted and
their hearts full of love for the
