Storm of Canary Bird*.
From the Ban Franciaco Chronicle.
It happened In the night, and ac
cording to the yam epun yesterday
by Capt. Sandberg, of the Panama
liner City of Para, It must have been
a night of terror. .
The ship waa midway between Aca-
jutla and 8au Jose d* Guatemala,
which la a latitude In which the un
usual Is the expected. The time waa
between 1 and S o'clock In the morn
ing, and it was very dark. Suddenly
an electric atorm of great ferocity
came up from a revolutionary republic
on the starboard quarter, accompanied
by waterspouts, St. Elmo's fire, nnd a
great flock of canary bird*. Every
one knows that St. Elmo's fire and
waterspouts are common off the coa*|
of Acajutla. but the canary bird* ara
a novelty.
At the first stroke the lightning
blew out the fuse In the ahlpf* dyna
mo and she became aa dark as an
abandoned trollav car. .Than the 8t.
Elmo's fire lit on the foretopmast and
split the gilt ball at the top of tee top.

Third Officer Zual \\>o had been off

and the captain says that the passen-

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS.
Where Women Work Hard and Long,
the Rate of tnfant Mortality Start
lingly Increases.
T^et us revert now to the abstract of
the twelfth census In Its office at
Washington.
Tho abstract says:
la 1900 in the registration area of
th** .United Stutes, out of every 1.000
bablcr under one year of age there
were'140 that died. *
In ’Chicago, out of every 1,000 oables
147 died.
In Now York, out of every 1,00 ba
bies 189 died.
In Boston, out of every 1,000- babies
194 died.
In Fall River, out of r.verv 1,000* ba
bies. 805 died.
The only hlghor Infant mortality in
tho., north for the year 100) was in
Bldaejord, Maine.'a cot top t>tva. where
out of,every 1,000 babies, 811 died.
Just below Blddeford and Fall Riv
er. among northern cltleB came Low
ell* Moss., a cotton town, the oii.y
town with more working-women, m
proportion to 'population, than Fall
River. In Lowell, out of every 1.000
babies 276 died.
In Providence, which Is much larger
than Fall River, there were In 1905,
2.998 dokths. Of these 2.998 deaths,
656 wero of children under five year*
of ago.
In Fall River, In 1905, there were
2.109 deaths. Of these 2,109 deaths,
1,117 were of children under five.
Less than om-fourth of the deaths
In Provldenm were of children under
five. More than one-b*!t of tho deaths
In Fall River were of children under
five.
Why?
Will out of every 100 women in
Providence, twenty-five are at work.
In Fall River, out of every 100 women
forty-five are at wort;.
Moreover, while Providence, being a
larger city than Fall River, has 22.048
working-women, only 2.118 of those
women are married^ Meanwhile in
Fall River, out of 14.170- worklng-
wortirn In ill trades, there are 1,688
that are married.
It will b* feasible to forbid mar
ried women to work for a certain
period of time before and after child
birth, and It may eVen be feasible to
forbid them to work at any time for
more than a certain particular and
special number of hours a day. But
It will be forever Impossible. In eco
nomic as well aa In constitutional law,
to prevent them from working, abso
lutely and arbitrarily.—William Hard,

Marriage In Topeke.
Dodd Gaston In th# Tqpska Capital.
Cut rlass society In Topeka la prepar
ing to throw a fit because a girl In that
net Is getting reedy to marry a man
whoee salary Is only 875 a month. They
■ay she la throwing herself away—that
after *he ha* beaten her young and ten
der wing* against th* head winds of ad
versity for year or two -ke will sicken
and fade under the sordldnea* of It all.
1 doubt that I doubt It so strongly that
t am wilting to lay long odds that the
marriage will turn out happily. The af
fair la on the right baala. to begin with,
bhe Irn't marry ing him for what he can
give her. She to marrying him because
ahe loves him and Is proud of him. She
knows ah* will nave to economise and
she doeen't care a rap. For he la a fine,
likely fellow, sure to advance In his line
of work and between the joy which th*
union of congenial souls always brings
and th* looktng forward to his ultimate
and certain advancement, they will never
know coipbarattv* poverty Pinched
them, r have watched the matrimonial
game In th* rol* of a casual onlooker for
many year* and have com# to this con
clusion: More than half the unhappy
marriages ara th* result of bargain
hunting. Mere then half the unhappy
married women were girls who married
primarily for what their husbands could
rive them In th# way of material com-
fort*. No woman who traveled that road
ever found complete happiness. Happt-
new doesn't lie that war for the woman
who haa a great deni wW want much
more and there Is a limit to every
men's capacity to supply.
The real name of marriare la self aacrl-
Ape. Ita speaking of marriage here I do
not refer to the commercial bargain* In
IN' name of matrimony ihgg are eon-
etsntly befit* driven In rvendfemitnunltv.
1 rrfbe te the real thine—the route to
itOPPtnea* Which iro*t of tt* sooner or
bxter expect to travel. To both the Inti-
tnatetv Interested iwveonn marriage
th* Irtvlng up of many cherished
thNr« that,have grown Into their fires.
And by the game token there U ao jay
like the joy of giving. To deny one’s self
that another may have, to work, to plan,
to endure hardship that another’s path
may bo smoothed and made easier la the
one satisfactory answer to tha riddle of
life. It la the one universal panacea for
discontent and unsatisfied longing. Mar
riage means self sacrifice and self denial.
Us every detail Is & giving up. » con
cession to the taste*, desires and abili
ties of another with Child-bearing as Its
highest and moat ennobling expression. If
It were not for thla Joy of giving why
should any man want to marry? For
murriage gives him nothing he has not
already except official license to work,
plan and endure for others. • • • The
girl who Is trying to put her marriage
on a commercial basts, and there are a
lot of them In Topeka and In every other
town. Is not altogether to blame. She Is
simply the victim of the morbid under
current of thought which swaaps her
life. In her market place men are valued
far what they can give and ahe comes
naturaUy to look upon marriage as a
means to gratify her material desires.
8mall wondsr that so many girls go bar
gain-hunting. Small wond«“ * * “
jooda so often fall to wash.
And there Is this other angle to the
proposition. If a woman haa a right to
demand that her husband come to her
with full hands, he has a right to re
quire that she bring an equivalent In ex
change. This being true, how many
young women to Topeka who decire to
make commercial rcarrir— to hd
_ jages would be
able to complete the d«al? What have
they to trade that Is really valuable
the market? What have they to give _
exchange for the material gratification
they hope to achieve? There are pretty
faces, soft hands and liquid voices for
*ale without number In tho open market
and the price !■ much under that et mar
riage. *
And so, If you are a girl old enough
to know what marriage mean* and you
ar- .’.-ad certain that you love him and
that he la all right In other respects, his
salary Is the smallest Item In the ac<
counting. For you can be perfectly hap*
py no matter whether his Income la 140 a
that If the girl marries her 875 & month
man she will need no hand other than
his to lead her to her great joy.
Our System of Meat Inspection.
The people of the United States con.
sumo grer 15.000.000,000 pounds of
meat annually, a per capita consuaip-
tlon.o^bcarTy too pounds a*'year. This
o.’vtklerably more meal for each
man. woman and child thai^lhe weight
of the average full grown man. The
meat-consuming units of the Amerl-
lean family eat every T**r more than
double their weight of edible flesh and
over three times their own weight of
what may be termed meat on the hoof.
It Is calculated by the bureau of ani
mal Industry at Washington that meat
constitutes fully one-third of the na
tion’s* food bill, a proportion which
makes the average European working
man scratch his head In amazement
that there should be such a vast meat
supply, and wonder If perhaps we are
not cannibals. The majority of fairly
week. Think of It! Only fifty-two
good meala of meat In a year! Where
would the "beef trust" be with such a
market In America?
The condition bring as It Is In the
United States, and the fact being that
the average family a$ta meat more
than once a day, the wisdom of an
adequate meat Inspection law, strict
ly enforced. Is more than apparent,
Our laws, the latest enactment, which
rolatee principally to canned and pre
served meats, being the outcome of
the tremendous popular uprising of
1906. This question now presents it
self: "Is the present law adequate and
effective, and, now that th© flurry of
popular Indignation on tho subject haa
subsided, la It -well administered?"
To thla query the answer can be made
that th* government meat Inspection
of today la satisfactory to the Consum
er, however elosply he may Inspect its
operation. Despite, too, the direful
propheslea to the contrary, it has
proved to bo an absolute advantage
to tha packers and manufactuers, for
It has given their products a standing
which thoy never before enjoyed. The
law I* comprehensive. It la working
welL and It to being strictly enforced.

President Gilman and th* Johns Hopkins
University.
While Mr. Gilman waa th* college II*
brarlan at Tale there was stirring In hfii
mind the thought of a new educations!
movement which xhould be creative, not
Imitative. In character, and which should
have for Its primary end the advance
ment of knowledge rather than the In*
etragUon of youth. He realised early tn
hi* life how eeacatlal such an undertak*
Ir.g as this waa for our American Hie
and for the Integrity and vitality of out
American democracy. Hla experience aa
the administrative head of the Univer
sity of California gave him a ■*»'« w*d#e
outlook and a broader acquaint:
Mr. Gilman to the presidency of tholr
non-existent university, they not only did
the wisest thing that It waa In their
powed to do. but they chose the one
American who was than beat fitted to be
their leader and their »
_-.r guide.
Fortunately for Mr. Gilman and for tho
United 8tatea, the means to execute hla
were at hand, as was the personal
conldcnce In hla Judgment which enabled
him to go forward rapidly and without
trammel*. Mr. Gilman had read long and
to good purpose In the history of univer
sities. He realized) that a university can
not be built of brick and atone, and that
the name may be claimed by an empty
and futile thing. He realised that this
new university must consist of scholars
with the ability to create and to stimu
late others to push forward, however lit
tle. the boundaries of human knowledge.
