The decline in England's birth rate first began in 1567, but did not become notable until 1577, says a writer quoted in London Public Opinion, In the last 5i) years the average births per family has fallen from about seven to the neighborhooi. of three in factory towns. England's population has been sinking so rapidly that another fifteen years will make Britain resemble France. The population will not be reprodueing itself. The writer notes a direct connection between this declining birth rate and social legislation. Beginning with the sixties a number of factory laws were passed regulating and restricting the employment of women and ehildren. From 1864 to 1867 were passed a num- ber of Factory Acts that culminated in the Workshop Regulation Act of 1567. These Acts applied especially to textile works and to certain other industries, like copper, iron and steel. They pro- vided that no child under eight could be employed in any handicraft, and be- tween the ages of eight and thirteen only half' time was permitted. In 1574, Parliament raised the minimum age of the child laborer to ten, and in 1578 an Act went into effect that seriously dis- couraged the employment of children. Only half time was allowed between the ages of ten and fourteen, and even the employment of the child at home was covered hy this Act. which also. demanded medical certificates. Not only this, but the board schools were cleated in 1870, and in 1876 attendance mat school for children was made corn-' pulsory. The result was that the child, in short, had ceased to be an economic asset, It was no longer of pecuniary value. Children had ceased to pay. And in factory towns like Bradford the number of births per family dropped by about one-half. If this were the whole story it would be an argument in favor of a lessened birth rate. Better far a low birth rate ace no factory life for infants than a high birth rate and young children forced to til amid stuffy looms. But this is not the whcle story. The auth- ority eoted further tells us that deaf mutes in England show a family of 6.2 children; insane. 6., and London men - telly defective of 7. children per family. The average size of the Englisn intel- lectual's family is figured at 4.7, while fair the ncrmal London artisan the figure is catcn'ated to be 5.1. This weals appear to contradict in a measure at least the chief statement above reside. It would seem to indicate that while the general birth rate has derih ed. the decline is chiefly among those hest fitted to raise healthy chil- dren. It is Obvious that more facts are rerizired before a sound judgment can be formed on a problem of far-reaching human importance. MUST BE HOME EY TEN. A resident in V e^na who does not wish to be out of packet must keep early hvars. Atter 10 o'clock at night he is taxed on enterir,g his awn house or apartment, e^.t, cs for the natter of that any ho,.. or apartment. The "sperr- geld" or door opening tax is not peon - liar to Vienna, bat is also found in other ca culla Lf Europe, on a hoar; ea that not infrequently there will be upward of 100 persons living under one roof. There is a com- mon entrance from the street and after 10 o'clock at night this door h bolted end barred, The 2,000,000 residents of the Aus- trian capital are practically imprisoned in their own homes from 10 o'clock in the evening until 6 the next morning. They may go out or in only by paying the equivalent of four cents to the janitor or, as the Austrains call him, the housemaster. This tax most be met every time one passes through the doorway. There is no exception to this rule. A man who has dined with a friend must, if be stays late pay four cents to get out of his friend's house and four to get into his own. A tele- gram in the night calls for the payment of the tax before the messenger can. enter. WHAT THE BURDEN WILL BE. A few years ago it was possible for some Ontario farmers to borrow money on the security of their farms at 4 per cent. To -day the city of Toronto finds it impossible to float its 4 per cent. bonds ata discount of 9 per cent. on their face valve. The change in conditions is largely due to the fact that our municipal, Provincial and Dominion Governments have been borrowing too freely for the purpose of spending on development works that might have been allowed to wait. If on top of this we are to bor- row $30,000,-600, or any such sum, to be absolutely wasted on the mere building of war ships it is easy to see what the effect will be. The result must be to increase the rate of interest payable not only on public loans but on private loans as well. Every farm mortgage renewed in future will bear its indirect share of the burden in the form of an increased interest charge. In addition to this there will be the added direct burden due to the increase in public Mr. Rich. Kinsman, of this place was taxation for the purpose of meeting called away to Mitchell on Friday last the annual cost of naval armaments.- to attend the funeral of his mother, Weekly Sun. who resided in that place.

LOCAL NEWS, A number from town took in the ex- cursion to Kincardine on Tuesday last. Mr. S. Kent is having the front of the store occupied by Mr. W. H. Willis repainted. The G. T. R. have an electric light placed at the station which is far ahead of lamps for lighting the place. Messrs. McLean & Son, of this place, have opened up a cooper shop in Luck - now for the manufacture of apple bar- rels. The many friends in town of Mr. H. W. C. Meyer will be pleased to learn that he is recovering and hopes to re- turn home early in September. At six o'clock on Tuesday evening last one of Messrs. McLean & Son's teams took fright at the mill and run from the mill down to Mr. Salter's on the gravel. When caught they were none the worse for the run. Mr. Jos. Jenkins, son of Mr. Thos, Jenkins, of the Bluevale road, gave us a friendly call on Monday. Mr. Jenkins is teaching in a high or graded school in Manalone, Michigan. Deafness Cannot be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies, Deafness is tensed by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube, When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be des- troyed forever- nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the muc- ous surfaces.

It has been divided into three parts,. typifying the three qualities that mas- ter the world -will, logic, and love. The first, or nail phalange, signifies will; the second, logic; the third, which is the boundary of the Mount of Venus, love. When the thumb is unequally devel- oped and the first phalange is extreme- ly long, it is neither love nor logic that governs the individual, but merely sheer will. If the middle phalange be much longer than the first, reason pre- dominates; yet the than may have the power to will himself to do that which his reason dictates.

Mr. Hustler, you sit in your office all day, and I note that your hair has turned gray; You've spentall your life buckled down to your work, and yon take not a mom- ent for play. The song of the birds and the purr of the brook are the things I have always held dear, But the dull, senseless click your cash register makes is the one kind of mus- ic you bear. I walk through the garden of life with a smile, and I love every blossom I find. Bat you're always worried and groping along with eyes that are pitifully blind. The things that you clasp are things that I shun, for they worry, annoy one, and jar, So I'd rather be as poor as I am than as rich as you are! You look upon me as an idler, I know and my free careless way you despise; But my heart warms with pity when- ever I see that cold, vacant took in your eyes. I am sad for the man who spends all of his days in the midst of the turmoil and strife - Whose heart knows no Iove and whose lips never smile as he goes down the dawn the pathway of life. Be a sport, Mr. Hustler, endplay the game right! Dontyou know that the old sky is blue? Don'tyou know that the people you pass on the way want a smile and a greet- ing from you? I may be sniffier, just as you say, but I laugh and the laughter rings far; Yes, I'd rather be as poor as I am than you as rich as you are. I know, when at Last I step from the ranks, that things will go an just the same; I fill a small piece in this great, busy world, and I'm only a pawn in the gime. But you are a very great man, I'll ad- mit, and when all your business you drop, You're band to be risissed, and, I will cerfess, this world is more iikeiy to stop. And yet.. I'll net envy year wealth er your fame es the eand e tarns down to the end- ; As shonleder to sbeulder, we grepe in the vane where dreams andreaiit,esb'-end. You've wersbirped an image of geld in the wart, while I have but wc ship) ed a star, But I'd rather be as poet' as I an than you as as you are: ?f -:s E. a d:asr, i n New Ycr's ewes.

If brain fag, headaches, sleepless- ness or irritability set in, the evidenee is plain that nature is not rebuilding as fast as work is breaking down. You cannot allow this depleting pro- cess to continue long if nervous pros. tration or paralysis is to be warded off. - Dr. Chase's Nerve Food will help you to pet the balance on the other side of the account, so that each day will add a little to your stock of health and vitality. A roan iehose work is largely mechanical may keep going with health below par, but the brain worker must have a clear head or fall behind in the twee.

Memory Verses, 18, 19 -+-Golden Text, John 1, 11 (R, V.) -Commentary Pre- pared by Rev, D. M. Stearn*. According to the harmonies of that gospels, this lesson takes us back in the story a long distance, back to a time before the Sermon on the Mount, to a time soon after the first miracle *t Cana and the meeting with the wo- man of Santa rite aceordlug to Matt. xiti, 54.58; hark vt, 1.0, Re did re- visit Nazareth after the events Ip last week's lesson and taught in the syna- gogue. but could do in1gl)ty work, ex- rept healing n few sick folk, because of their unbelief. They were aston- ished stonished at ills wisdom. but they were offended nt Him and said: "Whence With titis matt ttlt these things! Is not this the Carpenter, the Son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and of .Jude and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" He only replied, •'A prophet is not without honor but in his own country and among his own kin meal in his own house."
