It la by such persistent and scientific
means that perfect specimens of horse
flesh are produced.
In opposition to these methods, Mr.
Peddleton places the harum-scarum
methods, as he oalls them, governing, it
reproduction of the human species.
Prof. 'Brewer of Yale tells of a case In
Connecticut, some years ago, where a
feeble-minded pauper woman, kept at a
public ward, was admired by a half
witted farmer living In an adjoining
town. A selectman of the town main
taining the .woman, "to get rid of her
support," encouraged the marriage. His
short-sightedness, even from the stand
point of immediate money economy, to
say notning or racial economy, u
apparent when, a few years later, she
and her husband and three Idiotic child
ren drifted Into th poorhouee of the
husband's town.
Interesting records exist of two families
of criminals, the so-called "Jukes" and
the "Tribe of Ishmael." From the one
man who founded the "Juke1 family
came 1.200 descendants In seventy-five
years: out of these. MO were professional
paupers, who spent an aggregate of
1. 90S years In poor houses; fifty were evil
women, seven murderers, sixty habitual
thieves and 1D common criminals.
Dugdale has estimated that the "Juke"
family was an economic loss to the state,
measured In terms of potential useful
Baas wasted, costs of prosecution, ex
penses of maintenance In Jail, hospital
and asylums, and of private loss through
thefts and robberies of 11.300.000 In seventy-five
years, or over f 1,000 for each mem
ber of th family.
Similarly the 'Tribe of Ishmael" num
bering 1.S1 individuals In six genera
tions, has produced 13 known evil
women, and has bred hundreds of petty
thieves, vagrants and murderers. The
history of the tribe is a swiftly moving
picture of social degeneration and gross
parasitism, extending from . Its seventeenth-century
convict ancestry to the
present-day horde of wandering and
criminal descendants.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale says in his
most interesting bulletin report on "Na
tional Vitality, lis Wastes and Conserva
tions": "It is welf known that cultivated plants
and animals have been greatly changed
and developed by breeding. Th original
apple, as offered by nature to mankind,
, was th small, sour, bitter crab of the
forest, unpleasant. Indigestible, innutrl
tlous. In 1710 Dr. Davenant. a writer of
political economy, estimated that the
average weight of dressed cattle did not
exceed SO pounds. In UM McCulloek
stated that 'at present the average weight
of cattle is estimated at or about 800
pounds.'

It It not, of course, possible to obtain
the highest result In breeding humanity
by the sam means we obtstn such re
sults with fruits or animals.
Men and women possess sentiment, con
structive brain power and wills, which
would prevent obtaining Ideal offspring

were It to become a law, that men and

could obtain marriage licenses, and that a

were born of people who had not paased
successfully such examinations. It would
soon become th passion for young men
and women to be strong in body and

Our government ought to offer prises
to the men and women who can pass the
best physical examination at th age of
twenty-five.
A building tot would be an admirable
prise to offer a young man; and a similar
gift to th young woman would "not be

Both give an invitation to outdoor life,
and offer a good lnoom In reward for

to admit a house, will soon yield money
enough to build th house if properly

The Cause of
the Spring Poet
By JAMES R4VEX8CROFT.
Long have the spring poet and his ef
fusions been laughed at and railed at by
practical minded people, and subjected to
much more shocking discourtesies from
editors. But. nevertheless, this feverish
Pan of Poeey Is of honorable lineage.
and his hereditary traits ar not without
causa.
The spring poet was incubated In tn
uncomfortably Inconvenient time sway
back yonder when people were glad to
see spring when It rolled around.
They warmed themselves by fires that
put them in a fix similar to that of
Mother Eartih-on part blistering in equa
torial beat and the rest shivering In polar
frigidity end kept them dry and stale by
smoking all th moisture out of them
through their eyes.
They slept in beds and old Insomnia had
nothing on at all: they at food that
along about February became an unwel
come, if necessary, guest of th system,
and they were constantly involved In
labor troubles by their livers going on
strikes, and they had Influenza and rheu
matics and various other miseries of the
flesh. Including th cures of the miseries.
And alt the time tbey were tied up In
coarse, heavy clothing, and history fails
to set forth th fact If they changed thli
winter apparel, or If they tooa an all
over wash between summers.
Is It any wonder they felt like writing
poems when gentle spring wss seen ap
proaching In the distance? They lifted
up their voices with the bullfrog, the
bluebird and other vernal harbingers.
The ! coming of spring meant getting
thawed out one more: getting off (and
no doubt some of th women rushed the
season. Just ss they do now) all their
clothing except what was required by
lences had to go through one of those
wild, eld-faenioned w.tters as they did,
he'd probably bwret Into something worse
than poetry and he wouldn't wait for
jring, either.

Nothing Is more healthful than a good
fresh salad.
Nothing Is mors easier to prepare, yet
bow aeldom we eat a really good salad
with a dressing which Is properly com
bined and blended.
In America you have a pernicious habit
of putting lettuce leaves, water cress and
other greens In ice water and letting them
soak In It. believing that this makes ths
salad crisp.
Believe me, it makea any kind of vege
table tough to soak it in water for any
length of time.
Wash your salad very carefclly. Dry
off the leaves on a clean cloth, wrap the
greens or lettuce in a damp napkin and
put it away la a cool plac until you are
ready to serve It
Never mix a salad with the dressing
until you have dried off th salad leaves,
celery or whatever your salad consists
of. Salad dressing and water won't mix
and th combination ruins both the
dressing snd the salad Itself.

WORKS OF WOMEN
J
Dr. Helen Stoecker of Berlin wants
very woman who gives birth to a child
to be declared a patriot and aa such re
warded and endowed and cared for by a
grateful nation. It Is said that Germany
has don mora than any other nation to
save the babies and the Union for Mother
Protection, which Is now In Its seventh
year, numbering about 4.0CO, among whom
are soma of th moat prominent men In
Germany, hope for even better things.
Women In factories get six weeks' In
surance at th time of the birth of a
child. Dr. Stoecker would improve upon
this law by making six weeks' rest before
and after the birth of a child compul
sory. Mrs. Robert La Follett was th firs
woman graduate of the Wisconsin law
school of the Wisconsin university. She
never Intended to practice law, but began
with reading to assist her husband in his

An Old Fable Retold
By BEATRICE
Friendship, like love. Is but a name,
I'nleea to one you stint the flame.
The child whom many fathers share
Hath seldom, known a father's care.
'Tts thus In fmendahlp: who dspsnd
On many, rarely find a friend.
JOHN OAT.
I wonder how many of my girls recall
th story of th hare. Her ear was
never to offend, snd she claimed ss a
friend every creature In th wood or
plain.
On day the hounds gave pursuit, and
brest hires and half dead with fright she
appealed to the horse.
The horse replied thst he would gladly
take her on his back, but her many
friends who were coming would claim the
privilege of helping her.
The etately bull couldn't stop. But she
must not worry, he said, for she had so
many friends they would surely save her.
Ths goat, a particular friend, he said,
was Just behind.
The goat would gladly save her, be
said, but felt that the would have a more
secure bold on the back of th sheep.
Th sheep reminded her that hounds
slso eat sheep, and trotted away. In turn
the calf, and every animal that passed,
left her rescue to some other true friend.
"of whom." every animal said, "you have
so many.
The bounds caught up with the hart
when she mads her last appeal, and this
ends the fable.
The hare's fat is due to ths fact that
the "scattered." By this is meant that
ahe tried to make her friendship cover
such a large surface that it was too thin
to be of value In any place.
It was as If on took a gallon of paint.
and tried to make It cover a squars mile.
To do this such a dilution would be neces
sary that the effect would show no paint
at all, only an ugly looking moisture.
Both friendship and paint lose their
usefulness by making them cover too
large a surfac. .
Those who have many friends some
times find that In quantity tbey hav
lost sight of quality.
