Tho present fight against tho "whlto doath" has brought Its dangers fully to tho pnblla understanding, and those who will not Rive up tholr unsanitary nud offensive habit of tholr own will should bo ' nmdo to d no for tho benefit of oth ers. Nothing daunts tho onthuslastlo nnt urallst, nnd no onu clau has such sharp eyes ns ho.

Tho question of a large or a small family was onco regarded by many as a personal con cern; but since our lata chief executive opentd tho subject everybody h.u foil froo to pursue it. Among recent linn tilers of tho topto Is Mrs. Catlierlno Waugh McCulloch of Kvanaton, III. Mrs, McCulloch voices n growing sen timent in declaring thnt tho careless rearing of a largo family is less to be desired than tho careful rearing of a email one, Fowcr nnd better children would be her Idea. She would wel come forethought and a reasonable np prehension of tho general conditions governing our day. This nrgumoni doubtless tins validity within ttie bounds of any slnglo country, sep arately considered. Hut tho modern world is composed largely of soma eight or ten dominant national units which are In competition with ono an othet, in bucIi circumstances num bers count. Tho brute forco derived from bulk nnd mass is a prliim olo- rneut In national success. A people of forty millions, however happy At homo, tnnnot successfully withstand ;i popu lation of elity millions, however tho latter may be embarrassed by over population and discontent. A patriot lo population will endeavor to mul tiply Itself. Its members, taking a hint from Anatolo Franco, will not bo unwilling to contributo through their nrlvato misery to the public good. One exception may be mado: A country which enjoys tho hearty co operation of multitudinous newcomers. Huch u fortunate laud may properly as pire to quality as well as quantity nnd reasonably hopo to compass both. Wo trus Mrs. McCulloch and Mr. Hooo velt will find hero good ground for a compromise. A patbctlo story of Mark Twain's life points the familiar moral that the American senso of humor is over developed. As a peoplo we aro so afraid of losing the point of a Joko that we hasten to laugh at grave or even tragic things when presented In a sew aspect. It is a story as old as history that discoverers in science r prophets la religion are received at trst with neglect and mockery. Aawiesns W a step. farther and pre law tad food for the ceulo spirit in tne first presentation of moral or aoclal discoveries. They pervert the old Roman proverb into tho notion that everything that Is new must be funny. Darwin was despised and re jected In England, but It was reserved for Americans to turn his theory of descent of tho primates from a remote common ancestor Into tho ridiculous idea that tho monkey Is tho direct ancestor of man. After this wo need not be surprised when tho first ra tional theory of tho development of tho Superman, however lmporfcctly conceived and presented, Is greeted with ribald laughter and perverted to n schemo of government of tho world by oriental soprani. Mark Twain, un der stress of financial need, was a serious Inventor ns well as humor ous writer. He was a better carnor than husband of money. Doubtful in vestments allured him and his roy alties melted llko April snows. Then his mind turned to inventions llko his successful scrap book and abortive hatpin. Tho latter was a slmplo spiral which could not fall out or bo stolen, and ho tried to Interest Wall street In It when ho was In financial diffi culties. In splto of hnlt a day's grnvo demonstration with a model pin and an Imitation colffuro, the street In sisted that ho was Joking and sent him back to his creditors with shouts of laughter. That Is a common fato of discoverers in all times. When Philip Led married pretty, In oxporlonccd llttlo Isabel Watts, his mother mado notoworthy sacrifice for their happiness by transferring to tho kitchen or tl)o young couplo Aunt Illndy, who had prepared tho Ieo food for a generation. But possibly even discerning Mrs. Leo did not then know tho full value of tho treasure she relinquished. Aunt Illndy at onco took "them chllluns'" affairs Into her motherly black hands.

Tho Industry started with the use of the natural rock as phalt from tho mines In the Val de Travers, Canton Neufchatel, 8wltxer land. Tho mines were discovered In 1721, but It was In ISO that Its utility ns a road covering was first noticed.

After from ten to twenty years ships as powerful and Impregnable as ever have to be withdrawn from the fighting line becauso they cannot keep up with newer models in speed or agility. Yet If these ships could fight at anchor, like the French fleet at the battle of the Nile, they would bo nearly as effectlvo as ever. The suggestion wo have referred to Is that they should fight at pormanont anchor. The strategic position of Key West is so Important that it should be made an Ameri can Gibraltar to guard the Quit and Carrlbean sea aa that famous rock guards the Mediterranean. But Key West is a tow coral Island, surrounded by deep lagoons and coral reefs almost awash. The defenses of the main Island have so little command that outworks are accessary for complete security, It is proposed to obtain such outworks at a cheap rato by stationing tho old monitors in shallow water on these outer reefs nnd Imbeddod each solidly In earth work protected by rlprapplng. That will mako of each useless war vessel a stationary fort armed with two or four 10 or 12-inch guns in turrets. It is further sug gested that whon our older battleships, from tho Oregon class down to thoso Just before the Dreadnought class, become obsolete for mobllo service at sco, they can be mado choaply and effectively useful by Imbedding them in artificial Islands In shallow water off harbors of slow and difficult approach, llko those of Now York and Hampton Iloads. This would give to each long llfo as a stationary fort after It had outlived its usefulness as a mobllo battleship. Farmors' Dispatch. THE OLD AMERICA. N THE year 1830, about the tlmo that Charles Dickens was engaged in his dys peptic tour of America, O. P. It James, another English novallst, was an Amorl- ..l.hna .,!

Wrote James when at Now Haven: "In passing through this land one sees no poverty, bo squalid wretchedness, no hovels and old huts. Orc.it good humor, too, Is visible everywhere among the peo ple; each man scorns to feci thnt by Industry he can got on as well ns another. There Is little of that Jealous rivalry, none of thnt Irritable envy that we see in older lands, whero wo aro all struggling for that bread which la not sufficient for the whole." Here is an echo of the old America.

Woodgato, how ovor, In his "Homlnlsccnces of nn Old Sportsman," tells how ho pnld such a compliment at a dinner at the Oarrlck Club In London. The company wero all comparing notes ns to lending dramatic and lit erary feats, and my opinion as to nov els was asked. As nearly as I can romember, I said, "You will laugh If I mention a novel that probably none of you ever read, nnd by a man named Jeaffreson, whom perhaps you never heard of, but which to my untutored mind has always struck me ns head and shoulders over nincty-ulne out of a hundred; a book called, 'Llvo It Down. The third vol unto especially Is to my mind unsur passed for denouement of plot and sketch of character." . Such was my speech, delivered slow ly and deliberately: There was a strained silence In the room as I concluded. Then somo one asked, solemnly and pointedly. "Is that meant for a Jest, Mr, Wood gate!" "Jcstl Why? Not at all. I read tho book In my Oxford days, but havo never forgotten and have more than onco reread It, and hold to what I say, though I do not claim to be a Judge of such matters. "Perhaps you aro not aware, then, thnt Mr, Jeaffreson la sitting beside your I was taken aback, and looked at my right-hand neighbor. "The other side," I was Instructed; and I fared tho left-hand wicst, with whom I had been having much Inter- estlng conversation, Cordy Jeaffreson railed benignly ns I stammered apologies for my person nllty In defining him as "probably un known." Of course I was awaro that a writer of that name had written The Ileal Lord nyron," and had a high literary status, but had no Idea that he was Identical with the author of the novel in question. He took tho episode good-humoredly, and vowed that it was a genuine com pliment to him. Ha had written the novel, he said, In his youth, and then had settled to more serious literature.

There is no expectation of buying the stock or of selling it; but the forms of such legiti mate business transactions are observed, and Innocent people who doilreto Invest their money re thereby duped Into doing business with such places. They usu ally lose all the money they invest Tho Attorney General has lately secured Indictments sgalust a group of men who have maintained 260 such gambling offices in various parts of the country, and ha has announced his purpose to prosecute them to the full oxtont of the law. It Is confidently expected that he will succeed In stopping their business as his prcdo cersors under other laws stopped the Louisiana lot tery. When the power of tljo national government is dlrocted against any-ieich ovll ns theso It is much more offectlve than when a. slnglo State or a slnglo city at tempts to purge itself of offenders against tho law. The oxtent to which the bucket-shop business has been dovotoped is almost Incredible, and tho machlnory dovtsed for entrapping the unwary Is shrewdly con structed. Not only did tho bucket-shop operators do tholr business, nominally aa "stock brokers," but they maintained an organized stock exchange, on which enough legitimate business was done to make a showing of honesty and fair dealing. Dut the chief patrons of these places were nothing but gamblers. They did not want to huy or sell any thing, any more than does the man who beta on which lump of sugar a fly will next light The proprietors of the places allowed their patrons to win only enough to keep them Interested, but by a system of secret, wires secured advance Information from the legitimate stock exchanges which enabled them to prevent any customer from forcing them to lose.

The famous poisoned arrow ot the African savage Is not always so dead ly a weapon as It sounds. In fact, It may bo absolutely harmless. After having killed an old buffalo bull near the N'garl Kill swamp, says E. H. llronson In his recent book, "In Closod Territory," ho notlcod a small black shaft about the diameter ot a slate pencil standing perpendicularly out ot the animal's right loin, near the spine, nnd six inches in front of the hip. One ot the natives said, with a laugh, "Other hunters have been out long beforo you, Hwana, but tholr resas (cartridge) was not as good as yours; that la a Wanderoboo poisoned arrow." It was true, as we found proved, when, after live minutes' cutting and tugging, the arrow-head was withdraw from the bull's tough bade muscles. It was a remarkable example ot the great power ot tho Wanderoboo bow, From Its sharply barbed point to Its base the arrow-head was tve and a half inches long, and tour and a halt Inches ot Its length had been driven through the halt-Inch hide and on Into the heavy muscles ot the loin.

AINTAININO a stock-gsmbllng osnce it other words, a bucket-shop Is an offens against the United States laws. A bucket shop is a place where men make beta that the price of a stock will rise or fall by offering to huy so many shares at such a price, or offering to sell a similar amount threo or four Inches of the shank or shaft How the plant la known botanlcally, or whether It Is known at all, I am unaware, but II bears a purple fruit, quite- the shape and about tho size ot a small olive, which I understand Is not Itself poisonous. So armed, tho Wanderoboo tackle and kill anything, troni the tlnleit buck up to elephant, their favorite tac tics a sllont shot from a brush sholtor built within five or ten yards ot a much-used watering-place. Such prim itive shooting covers one sees dally nbovo springs and along streams In mountains and plains ot the Wandero boo coutnry. This particular arrow-head the old bull carried would plainly have gone much deeper had it not struck a rib, for as found, the thin bead was bent almost to right angles with Its shank by contact with bone. That It was a very old wound was obvious, for not only had it entirely healed, except local Irritation about tho head, but In places whore the hard black enamel like coating ot the poison was, worn away the shank was much rusted. A Daek Hard to Kill. The screaming Walloon Is a hard duck to kill. Its hide Is very tough and Is thickly covered with feathers and down. Desldes, the bird Is a great diver, one of the kind that used to "dive at the flash" when hunted with the old arm that flashed when fired. It la of very little value for table use, being so tough. The only way to manage It at all Is to skin It and parboil It in a big pot with plenty ot water. The negroes make caps ot Walloon skins. "They are great ducks for diving," says a well known Tred Avon river progger. "They can dive quicker, go down deeper, remain under water long er and come up farther away than any other duck that frequents our waters. I remember once I succeeded J In killing a Walloon, and, being short ot game for the table, I determined to cook my bird. I got a negro to skin It, giving him the hide for his trouble. After being cleaned we put it In a great pot full ot water and under It kindled a hot fire. After awhile I wanted to see how the cooking, of my duck progressed and lifted the top ol the boiling pot but there was so much steam escaping I could sot see Into the pot and struck a match over It The blamed Walloon, sir, dived at the ; flash of the match.
