UNCLE DAVE'S BELATED LUCK
Twenty Years of Unprofitable Time
Was What Worried the Old
Gentleman.
Charley Sessions, secretary of state,
-says that while ho was taking bis
summer vacation up in Minnesota a
couple of years ago he met a charac
ter at the little village up in the
woods, known as "Uncle Dave," says
the Topeka (Kansas) Capital. The
old man's only occupation was carry
ing tho sack of mail over from the
depot to the postofllce once a day. It
was all he could do to subsist and it
was a mighty lean subsistence at
-that Last year, when Secrotary Ses
sions wont back again on hisvacation
he did not see "Uncle Dave" and
asked where ho was. Ho was in
formed that "Uncle Dave" had gone
-to Minneapolis to have a blowout
Charley was surprised that "Uncle
Dave" had been able to gather enough
money to go to Minneapolis. " 'Uncle
Dave has had a streak of luck," said
2iis informant. "He went over here to
a neighboring town and fell through
a hole in the sidewalk. Ho sued tho
town and they compromised by agree
ing 'to pay 'Uncle Dave" a pension of
$75 a month." Some days after that
Charley met "Uncle Dave," who told
him all about his good fortune. "Yes,
sir," said "Uncle Dave," "I am in
big luck, but think what a time I
might have had if I had found that
liole 20 years ago."

One evening, when a water Inspector
was going his round, he stopped at one

off the water owing to some repairs.

While charcoal should be invariably
used in melting brass and bronze,
states the Brass World, it is not only
useless in melting aluminum, but dan
gerous. Aluminum is so light that the
charcoal is apt to become intermin

from it will have small specks and
pieces in them.

WHAT EUGEfK OF
jinr rjinrn
Ant CHUCH
Some Insist the Race Is Deteriorating Says Herbert Carey
Rush to the Large Cities and the Complexity of Modern Life
Given as Among the Causes Many Depressing Facts
Are Revealed.
Now York. To tho lay mind scienti
fic eugenics seems to be founded upon
the blackest pessimism, says Herbert
Carey. Perhaps scientists see more
clearly than tho rest of us though
they do not all see alike, or get tho
same conclusions from tho same factl.
Some of them are euro we are going to
the apes very fast. Death and degen
eration and insanity and gibbering
idiocy seems to bo the only posslblo
ond for the human race, they think
unless something is dono at "once to
check our sliding tendencies. Per
haps the most disheartening rovelation
Is that we are no stronger or more
capable mentally or vigorous morally
than our forefathers were in tho days
when they dressed in pigment n pen
and Ink sketch.
"Wo speak with pride of the advanco
of humnn civilization," says Doctor
Metcalf, "and that blinds us to the
fact that since tho dawn of history
there has been no clearly recognizable
evolution of mankind. We reach larger
results in the problems of life than
did our progenitors 5,000 years ago,
because we build upon the experience
of the generations between."
Other scientists swell this despond
ent chorus. Prof. Kay Lankester
6oundcd the keynoto in 1892, when ho
wrote that "compared with the foro
fathors of our civilization, tho ancient
Greeks, wo do not appear to have im
proved so far as our bodily structure
Is concerned, and assuredly not so far
as some of our mental capacities are
concerned."
Dr. J. H. Kellogg declares that "the
human race Is dying." Jtev. Newell
Dwight MllIIs is quoted as declaring
that "within 400 years we shall all be
Insane." The superintendent of the
asylum at Austin, Tex., in an official
report published some years ago, held
that "the Insane in this state may soon
outnumber the sane." Ho jocularly
added that.in that event the Insane
might turn themselves out of tho asy
lums nnd put tho sane in.
H. H. Laughlln of the Cold Spring

are 914.7 Inmates of Institutions of
various sorts to tho 100,000 of popula
tion in this country or almost one
per cent. He has recently declared
that ten per cent, of us are so far "an
tisocial" as to be unfit for parentage.
E. E. RIttenhouse, president of the re
cently formed Life Extension insti
tute, of which former President Tart
is an active member, in a recent paper
said that 75 per cent, of the 20,000,000
school children in the United States
are moro or less defective. Dr, V. V.
Vaughan of' Ann rbor who specifi
cally doclares he is not an alarmist
says "tho American people aro threat
ened with a spread of mental and mor
al degeneracy through the multiplica
tion of the unfit."
Dr.. Gertrude Hall says that "only
one-half of the dependent children we
have examined and tested in New
York state aro up to normal standard."
Cancer Is killing 75,000 annually in
the United States and 200,000 die from
tuborculosls, not to speak of the other
chronic diseases, some of which, on
the authority of statisticians, have
doubled their mortality rate in thirty
years.
Reports show that In certain parts
of England, Scotland and Ireland the
physical condition of the Inhabitants
has degenerated. On the moral side we
aro getting no hotter fast and wo're
a little worse hero than our neighbors.
RIttenhouse, who Is an authority, says
that 9,000 murders are committed In
tho United StateB annually and an av
erage of 116 murderers are executed.
We have tho appalling homicide rec
ord of over 100 per million of popula
tion, against Beven In Canada, nlno In
Great Britain and 15 in Italy. The
birth rate is declining and tho span
of life shortening. About 15,000 men
and women commit suicide in this
country each year. Kellogg says that
tho dally "average dooo of poison al
cohol, nicotine, caffeine and opium is
3C8 grains." Our eyes and ears and
teeth are going back on us. Over 13
per cent, of the rapidly increasing
number of Insane are paretic, because

generating as well as dying what are
the conditions that produced this re
sult? In some measure they are purely
physical, according to the students of
the eugenic problem who met at the
national conference at Battles Creek.
In the last 50 years there has been an
appalling shift In tho center of grav
ity, duo to the world's progress in me
chanics. Frederick L. Hoffman esti
mates that In the last decade the city
population has Increased 35 per cent.,
while the rural poijulation has in
creased but ono per cent,
"Cities," ho said, "boast of their
growth In population, when they
should be weeping."
Hence "factory degeneration" as re
ported from densely populated mjlllng
sections of the south. In a senate docu
ment printed at the request of Sena
tor Townsond, tho statement It made
that "in Manchester and other English
manufacturing districts the police
force is lnrgely recruited from the
country districts, because the home
grown men aro not large enough."
In 15 years the British Association
for the Advancement of Science found
the averago height of men had de
creased ono inch. Tho same authority
found tho well to do Briton on an av
erage of 3 Inches taller than an em
ploye ln,the mills, and that at the age
of twelve tho height of their respect
ive sons differed by five inches. In
55 years the height required for ad
mission to the British army was lower
ed from 5 feet G inches to 5 feet, and
still the proportion of rejections for
this cause remained the same.
Similar testimony as to raco deteri
oration comes from Scotland, Ireland,
Germany and Franco. Dr. Alexander

that he was acting for what ho con
ceived his father's welfare in fasten
ing him with a chain, as the father
gave evidences of insanity and had
made threats against members of the
family, A policeman, who took the
father to the city hospital, reported
that the son had been arrested, but
later it developed that when tho cir
cumstances had been explained to the
police officials in charge of tho station
to which tho patrolman reported, the
official decided there was no ground
for arrest. Tho son said ho had not
marriages is resulting In a raco of
deaf mutes Dr. Lilian South, the
state bacteriologist of Kentucky, In
discussing the fight being made
against hookworm in that stato, said:
HounWuiiTi Victims are stunted men
tally and physically. Thcro are not
enough able-bodied men in somo Ken
tucky counties to hold tho ofilces. Of
the 10,000 inhabitants of Rowan coun
ty, 7.000 wero illiterate not long ngo."
Doctor South told ono very striking
story of the effect hookworm has upojt
Us victim:
"Ono farmer," said sho, "sold liy
farm for (20,000 In gold because l
tho doposlt of coal boncath the su
face. Ho kept that gold hidden about
his house, because ho didn't knoj
what to do with it. Nor did he change
his manner of life."
Tho growth of city population Is
gravo factor. British lnvestlgatoij
found that not only docs life In a city
tend to mako tho next generation
weaker, becauso of the nolso, stressed
and infections, but Uiat tho people
who move in from a rural district aie
apt to bo of a weaker type to start
with. Hence progressive deteriora
tion. Alcohol Is charged with much
of tho responsibility. Prof. Alfred
Gordon studied 117 alcoholic families
or Philadelphia, to find that all of the
200 children in 00 of these families
showed signs of degeneracy, and of
them 160 wore eplloptlc. Of "78 chil

PUTS BABY TO BED ON SNOW
Somnambulist Father Taken Good
Care of the Child, but Mother
Gets a Scare.
Bangor, Me. Mrs. Edward Parady
of tho French settlement near Still
water went to church tho other ovfr
ning, leaving the Infant In Its crib,
with the father sitting by tho fire closo
by. As sho drove up the lnno leading
to the house on her return sho fancied
that he heard a faint moan. Entering
the liouso she found tho cradle ompty
and the father was asleep In his
chair.
"Whero is baby, Ed?" she asked.
Paradystarted up In surprise say
ing, "Why, baby's In her crib, of
course."
In a flash Mrs. Parady thought of
tho moan that sho had heard at the
foot of the lano, and out into tho night
she ran. Near an old pump, almost
buried in tho deep, soft Bnow, was the
baby. Ono hand and ono .cheek had
become chilled, but tho infant yas
well and cheerful.
Then Parady thought of the only
explanation that has yet been offered.
"I worked hard that day," said he,
"and was very sleepy. I remember
of thinking of going to bed and of
taking baby with me. I am a sleep
walker and I guess I muBt have fallen
asleop and thon got up and carried
baby out into tho snow Instead of to
bed. Tho snow looked white and soft,
llko a bed. I guess that must have
been tho way out of It"

PROCURES SHIRT FROM TREE
Native of New Granada Has Little
Trouble Securing Garment Suit
able for His Needs.
It Is comforting at leaBt to know
that the sad "Song of tho Shirt" does
not apply to all parts of the world.
In the forests of Oronoko, situated on
the slopo of Now Granada, nature has
provided what servos as a ready-made
shirt for the natives. It Is obtained
from the marina tree, a species of
tropical palm, which has a thin,
flbrous red bark. When a native
wants a shirt he simply cuts a piece
of one of these troos about 18 Inches
in diameter and takes off the bark,
managing so as not to cut It In any
way, and thus obtains a hollow cylin
der of flexible bark, somewhat re
sembling a rough sack without any
bottom. He then makes a small silt
In each sido for bis arms to go
through and puts it on. It Is only
during the rainy season, however, that
natives conform to the requirements
of civilization sufficiently to wear gar
ments of any description.
Public Opinion.
Public opinion is what we think
other people aro thinking; or it Is
what we think other people think we
think. When we think we aro think
ing llko other people, then wo think
they aro thinking as we think. That
is what wo think Is public opinion.
When we meet someone who does
not think as wo think, then wo think
that is not public opinion. When we
moot, or hear of, a number who do
not think as we think, then we think
that what they are thinking Is some
thing contrary to what public opinion
ought to be, and, indeed, will bo, as
soon as they all begin to think as we
tfilnk they ought to think.
Public opinion is of two kinds
what it is not, and what we think it
is. On tho other hand, what wo think
is public opinion may not be what we
think it is.

told the truth, would, when he pro
