make PEOPLE honest. Many of the
worst criminals and most of the po-
litical crooks are educated men. IL
is plain that we cannot rely upon ed
ucation alone to protect us against
the evils that spring from the lack of
moral character. III life Is to be
made what it ought to be and this
great country is to measure up TO it's
opportunities we must abandon the
idea that education, important as it
is, is the whole thing. There are
other matters that deserve attention,
and such a note as comes from DR..
Butler proves that the time Is at
hand for serious thought and earnest
action.-Vermont Phoenix.

New Unicycle Speedy.

A speed Of 70 miles an hour is
claimed for an engine-driven unicycle
recently built by a resident of St..
Louis, which has been tried out on
the roads surrounding that city. The
wheel is of aluminium and is 81 inches
in diameter, with a solid rubber tire.
The seat for the rider, the engine and
the gasoline tank all are suspended
inside this ring. When at rest this
machine is maintained in an upright
position by means of a pair of rollers
and skids,, which are located at the
sides Of the machine, but when the
latter is in motion these are raised
clear of the ground. The motive
equipment consists of the engine of a
flying machine with it's propellers and
the apparatus presents very remark
able sight as it speeds over the
ground.

DUCHESS WITH THE SOLDIERS
English Woman Of High Rank Doina
Her Part In Ministerino to
the Wounded.

A tall, slim woman with girlish face
and figure was moving about the hos.
pital-among wounded men and fever
patients, says correspondent in
northern France A French soldier,
encouraged perhaps by her face and
kindly eyes, scrambled to his feet
from amid the straw and walked to
her holding out his battered arm "Or
madam, my arm; oh, the pain of it.
He was in a dreadful state He had
been out for days unattended, un.
bathed. He could hardly stand up,
She took his arm-his unchanged arm
and led him to the surgeon Through
her thick, black veil saw her face. 1t
was Millicent, duchess of Sutherland.
She was down at the clearing house

motor-ambulance and her stretcher
parties were outside stacking their
vans with wounded.
do have look at it for him, will
you?" she said. The surgeons scis,
sors were soon through the rough
bandaging of the wound and it lay ex;
posed-swollen and pulled, with frag;
ment of a shell buried deep in the
angry fissure.
A French officer was in the hospital
detailing the cases to the various hos:
pitfalls in the vicinity. French ambu,
lance men were carrying off man aftel
man to their ambulance outside. They
could not work too fast. Another
trainload of wounded from the front
was waiting outside-waiting for the
straw and room of these MANNED hun;
dreds lying on the warehouse floor.
They had been waiting some time, too,
and other trains were not far behind,

SMALL FAMILIES THE RULE
American Men Of Science, 10
Assertion Made.

Prof. ]. McKeen Cattell of Colum.
bia university has been engaged for
several years on a study of the fam
lilies of 1000 American men of science
While the data and their analyses are
not yet complete, Professor Cattell
has proved that the birth-rate is de-
cidedly low among this part of the
population. The Journal of Heredity
gives the following synopsis of his
conclusions up to date:
THE completed family of contem.
porary scientific men is about two,
the surviving family about 1S. and
the number of surviving children from
each scientific man about 1.6. Twen-
ty-two per cent. of the families are
childless; only one family in seventy
five is larger than six. The same
conditions obtain for other college
ceived from 461 leading scientific men
giving the causes which led to their
limitation in the size of their families.
One hundred and seventy-six were not
voluntarily limited, while 285 were
so limited, the cause of the voluntary
limitation being health in 1873 cases,
expense in SO cases and various other
reasons in 81 cases. Childlessness
was involuntary in two-thirds of the
cases. In the standardized family of
two the condition is desired in six
cases out of seven. In over one
third of the families the limitation
was involuntary, due to pathological
causes, but if these had not obtained,
voluntary limitation would have oc.
CURED in nearly all, or, perhaps, in
all of the cases."
