Hon, John Burns, head of the Local -Government Board, Ana he exalt the children's conference why it le that the doctora of England can't save other people's babies ne successfully as they save their own. "In the caeca of infants of the up per and middle claws," Says Mt, Ilurns, "the death rate itt 77 Per 1,000; among artisans It Is 100 to 1.30; among miners, 160; among un- skillea laborers, 150 to 250; among aericultural laLorers, notwithstand- ing low wages, it hi only 97 Per L00. laiga wages In themselves are not zuflicient to save children, High wages with drink are more fatal to the child than low wages with good housing and restful surroundings Mare wages, unless wisely spent. will be a disadvantage. Accompanying high wages in the last fifteen years there has been wiser epending, ano one of the things at 'which fereign visitors marvel is the sobriety of Lon- don, considering “s niae- "About 40 per cent. of our pauper- ism, whish costs about 1•90,000,000 • year is due to widowhood and orphan- ood. I am at the present moment forter-father to 270;000 poor -law childeen." Women who work, Mr. Burns attya. aro the greatest cause of infant mor- tality. He cites Lancashire, where the rate of pauperism is as low as any- where in Britain, but it stands high- est for infant mortality. In some towns there, where the mothers work, tilt !Aleut mortality is three to four times that of Hampstead and double and triple what It is among the name class where the women do not work. "I hola the view." Mr. Burns says, "that for at leer:: four months before a child 133 born and for longer after- ward, mothers should be mothers and not machines. The rearing of a hap- py race through the strong physique of line boys and girls is the noblest of all callings, and we should all see to it' that it is not made the meanest of trades. "There are too many English wo- men raourning over cats and keeping the company of dogs. They would be much better for the company ef other people's children, if, instead of wast- ing their guineas on overcoats for lap- dogs, slippers for bourn:3 and brace- lets for favorite puppies, some of these ladies will come to me I will be pleased to convert myself into a children's agency and provide them with human substitutes, It will do ,.hem more good than ta ey think." London Owned By Fs t. On account of Lloyd -George's pro- gram for redistribution of land in England, for which every one is ner- vously waiting, there has been a great deal of talk In the last few months about the great number of -large land- holdere in London. This has led the London County Council to compile a list of London's landholders, which shows that in a population of 4,522,- 001 within the area covered the council there is a total of 38,200 landowners. The number of Indivi- duals owning one house each Is ap- proximately 14,000, while a little more than 700 own five acres or more ot land, The area'held by railway compan- ies and public authorities is about 22 square. miles out of the total of 116 square miles in the County of Lon- don. The greatest single landholders are Lord Northbrook and Dulwich College. each of which own more than 1,280 acres. Over 960 acres each: Lord St Ger- mans (Blackheath). H. W. Forster (Lewisham), H. T. B. Barron (Plum- stead), and Sir Spencer Maryon-WII- le (Ha.mpstead and Charlton). Over 480 acres; Duke of West- anineter (Pimlico). Over 320 acres each: Lord Dart- mouth( St. Pancras and Lewisham), Prudential Assurance Co. (various districts), and Magdalen College, Ox- ford (Wandsworth). Exact Statement. Some one has said that the man who laughs is the man who Is secure 1' superior information, 'wisdom, wit or sophistry. The nalvette of the Su- dani supplies plenty of food for this 1.'nd of laughter. There is the story of a telegraph clerk in an outlying district of the White Nile who, finding the desola- tion upon his nerves, telegraphed to headquarters, "Cannot stay here; am in danger of life; am surrounded by lions, elephants and wolves." The hard-hearted operator at the other end wired back, "There are no wolves in the Soudan." He received a second wire, "Ref- erring to my wire 16th, cancel wolves." Never Counted Them. Present customs in the matter of tiquor drinking differ widely from those 'of altagland eighty years ago. G. W. E. Russell recounts: "Mr. Gladstone, conspicuous from his Ox- ford days for his moderation in the use of wine, told me that until Sir Andrew Clark limited him on glasses he had 'lever thought of counting them. One drank what WAS put in one's glass without counting or ques- tioning." • Only Doctor: Not Prophet. A discussion took place at a Hack- ney inquest as to the conduct of a doctor who had attended a young married woman villa was removed to the Hackney Infirmary ofl his advice, and died there. One of the jurors thought the doctor to blame for not Worming the relatives that the wo- man was going to die; but the doctor replied: "I am only a doctor, not prophets' Ancient Smiths. It is quite -wrong to assume that the name Smith is derived from the fact tbat the original bearers were works ars in metal.
