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 the "Barre. Lat Sahib" departed with the Government for Simla - 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. 4 "RAIN' 0P BUTTERFLIES.

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, Ont. Cnina hold that there also of lake years the population is again ad- vancing, after a long period of stag- nancy.

Wag the wants of which many that they cannot be satisfied in the intense race -competition which is tbe cliaracteristic of the twentieth century world? 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 the more prosperous, more Intelligent and more thrifty sections, brought about by a rise in the standard of life itsela"..f,...rhat is Lafcadio I -kern in other words; it is the admission that the superior race is too expen- sive to multiply; but it means the There are very few cleans. log operations in which Sunlight 3oap cannot be used to advant. ge. It makes the home bright •141 clean, t -f 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 twentieth century world victory is to the large unit; the fun nursery seells national and race predominance •'ID HIM GOOD AND ED 'MISTAKE -- WHAT SESIO/s1- V.

River Bourgeois, Richmond Co., Que„ Oct. 5. -(Special). -Simon V.

"1 was bothered for over a year with Lame Back, Weak Back, Palpa- tion of the Heart and General Weak- ness," says Mr. Landry. "In fact, I was a total wreck. I could not work as I got tired and weak so easily aild I had a weakness in my stomach so that I could not bend down to do anything. , "I had tried different kinds of medicine without benefit till I gave Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial. Prom the first they did me good and 1 had only tefken three boxes when I was able to start work again. They did me good and no mistake."

The Garment Makers' Con- vention at Chicago bas decided that . in future the clothing of corpulent men wia be peal for according to bulk. The weight of men of normal size is arbitrarily fixed at 150 lb., rinel for each 100 lb. over that weight the fat nese will be taxed $5 additional for his clothes.
