It is the second we&. in June,
writes a Calcutta correspondent. The
heavens are as brass. On the seethe,
western horizon, whence cometh our
lealp, i$ as yet no sign of the blaek,
beneficiant clouds. .The mid-season
Showees, tempering the ewe and rip -
eating the zaangoes; the little rains-
acheta bareat"-preluding the shat-
tering might of the monsoon," have
somehow missed their way. Day af-
ter day in the shade the mercury
steade at anything a little 'above a
hundred; evening after evening the
sun goes down behind the masts and
funnels of the Hooghly, behind the
standing smoke of the jute mills
across the. water, a disc of yellowish
white in a colorless sky -promising
nothing for the morrow.
A SUMMER SLEEP.
The city takes her summer sleep,
Long ago, as it seems, his Excellency

Agee, as it seems, have passed since
the flag flew over the low dome
crowning the snow-whito replica of
Kedleston Hall since the blue -striped
pumas of the viceregal bodyguard
made weer in the streets, since the
distinguished patron of Indian arts
and his graceful consort spent pleas-
ant cool afternoons in the showrooms
of the fashionable Hebrew cabinet
mater -precise East-of-Suca counter-
part of Tottenham Court Road! In
these days it was easy to think of
the second city of the Empire as
"the settlemeut of an Imperial race,
and the ,fitting habitation of a
world-wide rule" -the viceregal rhe-
torichas an attractive cadence. • In
thee() she has another appearance,
entailer cbaracter, with which, may -
hap, the Berea Lat Sabib has not
even a bowing acquaintance. In-
deed, he confessed so much in an or-
ation that has become fainous.
FLIGHT OF THE MEMSAHIBS.
Tbe bahistraded Red Roah is elo-
quent, Of the change. Its broad,
straight carriageway, crossing the
Maiden at such an angle that the
•priceless evening breeze from the
swab collies along it unirapeded, is
almost deserted during the brief hour
dividing the daylight from the dark.
True, the smart tem-tums and bug-
gies are still to be seen, for your
Calcutta man of business is not driv-
en a -way by the heat. It is the ab-
sence of the palefaced memsahib that
is noticeable. A few, a very few, re-
main; the rest are living laborious
days within sight of the snows. In
the preartoesoon interval the inviol-
able Red Road becomes the resort of
another grade, another shade, A
glance at the carriages that pass and
repass in the line of the breeze, • or
along the road -by the river, reaeals
for the moat part the "Spanish com-
plexion," the hat in fashion of the
day before yesterday, the motirraful
expression of those who belong to
the race which Kipling, named the
real "people of India." They come
oat on the cool June evening from
the hinterland that divides Chow-
ringhce from the welter of slums be-
hind; they annex the carriage roads;
they pare up and down the Eden
Gardens listening to the town band,
at other seasons than this the daily
delight of the mercantile youth. You
remark in their faces the impassive-
itamess of the East allied with -shall
cite say? -the discontent of the West.
THE REAL CALCUTTA.
It were a strange maw., however,
to conceive of Calcutta in the beat
eaa eity of no pleasures. There is
no music, no drama, no society. You
may, if you. are so minded, pay calls
at mid-day on Sunday in. frock coat
•and unclassifiable silk hat, but it
will not be counted unto you for
righteousness, Nevertheless, there
aro other things to do. After four
Menthe of cool drought and four
more of heat the Maiden is still glor-
iously green. ,Here and there the
glowing blossom of a geldanonur
tree maintains its outdated splendor.
Xt, is good in the morning to ride, in
the evening to drive, to walk -before
and after the hours during which the
urmemorseful glare imprisons you in-
doors.. There are some, moreover,
younger and madder, who condemn
Bach uninspiriting recreation. Reck-
iesa of the towering temperature,
they play hockey, football even -with
all the ritual of tournament and cup -
tin It sounds incredible, but that
eager, variegated crowd-Eurasitans,
Cittaese, hundreds of shirt -clad babes
with the inner select company of
Europeans -testifies to the actuality
of the .gaxle that is going forward.
This IS the peat, of Calcuttee 'own
ti the oriTaat alliapean, whose
sparare. laterest is bounded by a
half -mile radius on this side the
Maiden. Beyond is the real Calcut-
ta; the swarming bazaars, with their
indescribable rook, the putrid bustees,
froin which tWrilague has been, for
awhile, expelled by the mercifully
merciless sun, the congestion, un-
cleanliness, and pottery that are the
despair of Viceroy and Government
and corporation. This city, "the
fitting habitation of •a World-wide
rule," we, Who ought to know bet-
ter, do our best to forget, intent as
we aro on the prospects of the mon-
soon and our owe individual ways
of making life, not endurable merely,
but positively pleasurable, at a hun-
dred and seven in the shade.

BIRTHATE IN ENULAND.
DECLINING IN ENGLISH-
SPEAKING COUNTRIES.
—
Figures Which Show That Some
Cause Has 13een at Work
For Thirty Years.
But sixteen years have passed since
an Feeglita thinker spoke in bitter
terms of "the devastating torrent or
children," the arrest of which, he
predicted, would bring infinite bless-
ings to mankind., yet to -day every-
where through the Anglo-Saxon
world we find the theughts of states-
men and publicists ..turning not to
the arrest of the birth-rate, but to
the far more difncult problem of
stopping the decline in it which has
set in with ominous steadiness, and
which is now beginning to menace
the predominance of the race. So
writes Mr. II. W. Wilson in the Lon-
don Daily Mail.
President Roosevelt has appealed
to American men and women on this
head in a public address; the great
Australian statistician, Mr. Coghlan,
In words of impassioned teeth, has
warned Australia of the future ',Wore
her unless she obeys the old com-
mandment to be "fruitful and
multi-
ply"; and in England we are be-
comiag dimly conscious that our hold
upon South Africa depends upon our
power to pour settlers into that
country, and that with the decline in
the rate of increase in our popula-
tion, this power is passing' away.
The fall in the birth-rate in the
English-speaking countries coincides,
apparently, with a distinct increase
in the peoples of the Far East. The
population of Japan, after remain-
ing stationary for 120. years, has
recently begun to expand, and to
expand rapidly. Authorities on
,WEAK AND NERVOUS.
Thousands of Lives Made Miserable by a Trouble Easily
Overcome.
Thousands of people throughout
this country. stiffer continually from
nervousness -their blood is poor and
watery, their nerves unstrung and
jaded. They are pale, weak, often
troubled with headaches and dizzi-
ness,. are exhausted with the slight-
est exertion, and oftea feel as
though life were a burden. There is
only one absolutely certain way to
get new health and strength and that
is through the use of Dre Williams'
Pink 'Pills for Pale People. These
pills make new, rich,„ red blood,
stretegtben the nerves, and bring
healeh,. strength and happiness to
those who use thein. Mr. D. W.
Daley, Crystal City, Manitoba,
proves the truth of this. He says
"I have used Dr. Willituns' Pink
Pills with wonderful reaults. Before
using them I was weak and nervous; I
my blood was poor; I was pale arm
suffered from pains in the region of
the heart. Vow after the lise of
eight, boxes of the pills my nerves
are Strong; my bleed is pure and
rich; I have a good color and my
heart action is regular. I think
there is no medicine can equal Dr.
'Williams' Pink Pills for these trou-
bles."
This is the verdict of all people
who have given the pills a fair -trial,
and those who are sick can obtain
new health and strength through the
use of this medicine. Do not waste
money and further enhanger your
health by taking any substitute. See
that the 11111 name of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People is printed
011 the wrapper around every box.
If 3rou caunot get the pills from
your dealer they will be sent by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2.50 by writing to The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,

ENGLAND AND THE COLONIES.
T110 birth-rate in England fell af-
ter the great war with France at
the opening of the nineteenth cen-
tury, and in 1838 it was -only SO
per 1,000 of population. Prom this .
point it began to rise Slowly, and
advanced, on the whole, steadily
with the advance of British trade, It
reached' its ctihninatina point in the
years just after the.Pranco-Gernian
war, which were ainong the most
prosperous known in our trade his-
tory,
It was 815,8 in 1872, 86 in 1874,
and 36.4 in 1876, which is the high-
est record ever toucbed eince accur-
ate statistics were eollected la this
country. In 1874-8 the average rate
for the TJnited ICingdora was 84.8.
But from 1876 onwards a sharp de-
dina,,set in, and Ma. decline has cen-
tinued almost uniformly 10 our own
day. Front 1879 to 1888, the aver-
age for the United Kingdom was
82.0; from 1884 to 1888, 81.5.1; froth
1889 to 1898, 29,8; front 1804 to t
1898, 20.1; and front 1809 fo, 1901,..
28.13. Thus in the period reom 1874 N
to 1901 the deeline was ix per)
thousand; and the earth -rate fell to a
little mere than four-fifths of what it
had been in 1870
Outside England the same pbenom-
onon was netted in one of our Colon-
ies, to an even more marked degree.
In Australia the birth -'rate has fal-
len with a rapidity which Is posi-
tively alarming. The rate was 41,9
per thousand in 1801-5; in 1871-5 it
he.c1 diminishea to 37.8, and in. 1883--
5 this bad further ithrunk to 85,2, In
1891-5 it was 81.5, and tn 1806-9
only 27.85, so that it was actually
below the rate of inerefaie in the
Mot her Country
• The loss of birth force in Australia
in the last forty years has been no
less than 14.55, or much mere than
a third of the rate of increase in
1861-5. One Australian State now
shows a rate of only 25, or but 4
above the rate 01 France, whath is
generally regarded as the type of
stationary coentry. The decline is
great in every position of life, :atong
the poorest and the richest alike, and
it is the more extraordinary in that
the greatest want of Australia isi a
teeming population
In the United States the small etac
of the illative Ameriean family has
drawn pretests from Mr. Roosevelt,
though no statistics are collected
and here it is Impossible to say what
is actually happening. The excess 01
births over. deaths has fallen from
28 per 1,000 In 1880 to a calculated
total of only 13 in 1900, so that the
birth-rate must have declined or the
death -rate enormously increased,
winch last supposition is most im-
probable.
THE BIRTH-RATE ON Taal CON-
TINENT.
In France the birth-rate, except in
abnormal years during or after wars,
when nature was striving to undo
the handiwork of maxi, has tended
downwards, but the fall has not, been
so marked as in England, though it
started at a lower level. The French
rate was on an average 25.8 for
1874-8, 22.3' for 1894-8, and 21.5
for 1899-1900, the last years for
which the returns are atceesible..The
drop was thus 4.8 in atout the same
period as that in which the English
rate fell 6. In Italy the fall leas
3.2, from a agure of 87 in the samo
period, so that the Italian rate is
still much above the English one.
In Germany, perhaps our most
formidable competitor in Europe, the
decline was 4.2 in this period, from
60.1 to 85.9, and the German rate
is still higher than was the rate in
England in 1876. Moreover, in some
German States of recent year there
has been a sliglat tendency for the
rate to e advance, which is most mark-
ed in Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and
Baden.
If the Russian figures can be trust-
ed, and they do not come down lat-
er than 1897, the birth-rate there is
advancing. It was 47.7 in the three
years 1892-1, and 49.5 in the years
1895-7. This, however, me.y be due
to the fact that nature is conpensat-
ing for the loss of life in families it)
her own peculiar way. But the Rus-
sian rate is a very high one, and
notwithstanding a yery high death
rate the Russian people is increasing
with amazing rapidity.
THE ROOTS OF THE EVIL.
What are the explanations of the
failing birth-rate 1. tne English-
speaking countries? Mr. Coghlau
suggests, in the case of Australia
that it is due to the love of pleasure
and to the deliberate lintitation of
families. His argument seems to be
borne out by some very striking
facts Doted by Mr. and Mrs.' Webb in
their work on "Industrial Democra-
cy... They state that 'there are
many indications that the danp;er to
be apprehended in North-Western
Europe during the corning century is
not over -population at all, but a de-
liberate restriction of population by

and more thrifty sections, brought
about by a rise in the standard of

the death -rate bas declined, the re-
lative proportion of young men and
women has declined, and that a cor-
responding fall in the birth-rate was
to be anticipated. But tbis is not
eery satisfactory, einee the fall in
birth-rate is much greater than the
decline in the death -rate. and the
fall much greater than in Englaull,
but has not brought such a (amine -
tion in the births, ,
Lastly, the question must be faced
whether the fall is not to be connect-
ed with the special stratus of mod-
ern life„ especially of city life. Aus-
tralia ad England are both States
in which the huge city predominates,
and It is at least a noteworthy fact
that the marked fall in our birth-
rate roincides with the collapse •cif
agricultere, whicb famed atn• country
population more and more into the
towns from 1878 onwards.
This may be a mere accident, but
country families aro still generealy
larger, if only because of the dife-
rutty of housing in the towns. - No
point is so painful in Mr. Booth's
great stucly of London than his re-
peated reiteration of the fact that
large families are regarded by land-
lords as a nuisance, and that the
lama fatally is too often refused ae-
coemnodation where the small family
finds ao difficulty in obtaining it.
Thus is the "devastating torrent of
children " -.-most accursed phrase -re-
pelled, and 111115 is our national po-
sition being inmerincel. For in this
