I. ENGLAND DEOINIRATING‘I
Itstlstics Taken from the British
Army Confirm Tnst'Vlew.
Arnold White has written es follows
in the London Chronicle of physical
degeneration in England: “The Ger-
mans drink an enormous quantity of
beer. but there is no class in Germany
of drink-sodden. dirty and broken
mothers such as we produce by the
thousand. When Taine was shown the
loamy side of London he said that the
rush of the inhabitants of an east Inn-
don slum into a wide street when at-
tracted by the spectacle of an accident
was like a human sewer emptying it-
self. Before the outbreak of the Afri-
can war, of 11,000 men who wished to
enlist ill Manchester, only a little over
1,000 could be sent into the army. The
Scotch highlanders and the Irish peas-
antry are healthy. but English towns-
men can no longer vie in war with thq
Tyrolese and Bavarian mountaineers.
the inhabitants of east Prussia, the
French peasantry, the Monusnegrins or
the hardy Russians.
"Britain's soldiers are born of moth-
ers affected by the normal conditions
of town life, both moral and physical.
The average stay in hospital of soldiers
affected by .one preventable disease is
82 days. Thus in one year we have a
total loss of 1.738.688 days' army serv-
ice. Two hundred and three soldiers in
the British home army go sick out of
every 1.000: in the French ronscript
army only 43 become invalids.
"in 1845 the standard of height for
admission to the army was five feet six
inches; in 1883 it was five feet three
inches. and in 1900 tiva feet. There is
s progressive decline in the average
weight. As the British army is ten
times more unhealthy than the Ger-
man. it loses three times as many by
death.” . I ' it.»

Customs in Chins.
China. as seen with our eyes, is gro~
‘ tesque. She is the antipodcs of all the
rest of the world. She seems the up-
side down of everything. The needle
in her compass point! to the south.
she says west north instead of north-
west.
She enjoys her fireworks in the day-
time; her ladies use wheelbarrows
when they are making calls; they drive
cows instead of horses; the necks of
their prisoners are put in the stocks;
their surname comes hrst. as Roosevelt
Theodore; they mount their horses
from the right side; the old men fly
kites. while the small boys sit demure-
ly and watch them; they keep on their
hate as a sign of respect; their crim-
sou \lsltlng cards must be a burden i0
them if they do much telling. as they
are four feet long and about two wide;
their boats are drawn by men, their
carriages by sails; they never drink
milk and their mourning color is white
or pale blue.
Their young women. no matter how
beautiful they may be. according to
Chinese ideas. are slaves, while the old
mother of grown sons and the wrinkled
grandmothers are queens. and the most
respected and beloved members of the
household. Even the emperor‘s moth-
er ranks higher than he does. When I
son is fortunate enough to receive an
honorable demrntion. he brings it to
his mother, who wears it for him.—

The temporary suspension of work
It the mine (ad will of the Granite-

caused by an owl becoming entangled
in the wires, recalls the fact that since
the transmission line was put in com-
mission, nesrly four years ago. 26 owls
have been electrocuted by coming in
contact with the wires. and since No-
vemher of last year 12 fine specimens

Goats as Pilots.
In Switzerland and other mountain-
ous countries goats lead long string! of
animals daily to and from the moon-
tains. but it is in South Africa that the
goat is regularly kept and employed as
a leader of sheep. Should a blinding
storm of rain or ball drive the sheep
before it, or cause them to huddle to-
gether in a corner, so that there is a
danger of their suffocating each other,
the trained goat will wake them up.
and. by .a method of his own. induce
them to follow hlm to a place of safety.
The Money~Mad Poor.
it is a great mistake to suppose that
every rich man is -money mad. for
many rich men are money sick. and it
is a still greater mistake to eurpost
that the only money med people in the
world are rich people. A man who is
poor but bent on becoming rich is much
more likely to be money mad than I
man who has an independent fortune,
only he shows it in a different way. A
man of large fortune who is money
mad shows it by his continued activity
in money making. The poor man who
is money mad shows it by envylng and
hating those who are more successful.
