Statesmen and Larae Families.

The revival of discussion on the
failing birth-rate recalls some Of the
schemes Of statesmen and others to
encourage the rearing of large fami-
lies. Pitt, for example, said that they
should make relief in cases where
there was a large number of children
a matter of right and honor, instead
of a ground of opprobrium and con-
tempt, and he added that that would
make a large family blessing, and
not curse. Napoleon offered to take
under his own charge one member of
any family which contained seven
male children. And Louis XIV, for
whom no extravaganza was too great.

GARBAGE is NOT
FIT FOR POULTRY
Anything the Average Restaurant
Won't tumble Up for Custom
ers Is Unfit Food.
CRu N. N. nERNARDl

A poultry journal recommends that
those living near hotels should ar
range for the garbage, stating that
in 1t there Is such variety Of food
that will be Of untold value to hens.
The fact is that anything the aver
age restaurant will refuse to tumble
up for their customers is questionable
food for either fowls or hogs.
In the summer this refuse, when re-
moved once a day. is unspeakably foul
and the one who removes or handles
1t needs the nose Of scavenger.
Ferlnented and decaying refuse
from such places is dangerous, even
to handle. In this garbage" is often
found pickles. sour cabbage, rotten po-
tatoes, tainted meat and other stuffs
even including coffee grounds--ft
only 70 no manure pile.
WI can not be too careful about
what feed our stock. Fowls
should have perfectly sound food or
they VIII not enjoy perfectly sound
health.

The Magyar, not having to keep up
an enormous standing army to keep

devoted their time to the mystic and
wise men, who evidently found a will

result shows. They soon became ex-
pert stone cutters, masons, painters
and architects. They were excellent
astronomers, proof of which is their
calendar, and naturally they must
have known the fundamental elements
of mathematics. Having passed the
stage of photographs, they had evolved
system of hieroglyphics from which

they prospered, multiplied and built

How much Of truth and how much
of romance there Is in this is impossi-
bic to state, but there is one thing
certain, the peninsula of Yucatan is
an infant, comparatively speaking, and
of neptunic parentage. It's entire area
is nothing but limerick (madrepora)
containing the shells of living species
and that of fossils bridging the plio-
Gene and pleistocene periods. about
1900 years ago, the traditional date
Of the Atlantis disaster.
Yucatan a Strange Land.
Yucatan from a Typographical and
geographical point of view IS a strange
and remarkable land. 1t is practically
an absolute fat and there are no
rivers and no lakes as generally
known The crust Of rock covering
the peninsula is very porous and full
of immense subterranean caverns.
''Yhe abundant rainfall of ages filtered
through this crust and filled these
caverns, these great masses OF water
under pressure gradually perforated
the rock and found an outlet to the
sea underground. The crust over
these subterranean streams In some
places, eaving, formed pools, nearly
all circular and with steep sides and
with a depth OF water from a few feet

with the mainland and the geological
formation changes, there are large
copper deposits. which were known to
the Maya. His smelling furnaces and
the scoriae from them can be found

Little Girls Criticism.

to appreciate moving pictures and
vaudeville. but, until recently. she had
never been to church. When she &C
companied her parents to worship,

tanned. and was a little restless as
she waited in vain for the expected
performance. When the family re-
turned from church the little girls
mother asked her how she liked the

some OF those now on the Mexican
