While in 1903, for instance, 1,183,627 births were registered, the total in 1907 was only 1,147,988, a difference of 35,639. In 1904 the O- W number of births registered was 1,181,803; in. 1905, 1,163,535; while. in 1906 it rose to 1,170,537, only to fall rapidly as mentioned in 1907. CAUSE OF THE DECREASE. This decrease, of course, is due to the fact -that fewer couples ven- ture to embark upon matrimony nowadays. In thirty years the pro- portion of bachelors per 1,000 has increased from 384 to 411, and the fact that every year 'there is an in- creased desire on the part of men to avoid marriage is of national sig- nificance, when it is mentioned that roughly speaking, there are 1,200,- 000 more, females than males in the ether side of tho Mersey, however, amongst boys and girls attending eohools at Liverpool, the average height is 3 feet 0% inches, and the average weight 3 stone 85 pounds, Tho height of a Bournville boy of eleven years of age averages 4 feet 9 inobes, that of , a l3irptinghum slum boy of same age being 4 feet 2 inches, the respective weights be, Mg 4 stone 13 pounds, and 3 stone 11 pounds. The cheat measurement of the Bournville boy, too, it might be mentioned, is three inches great- er than that of iris little slum bro- titer in the Midland capital. Such illustrations could be multi- plied, but these two are quite surf fioient for the purpose of showing here what, en extraordinary effect environment has upon the children of the community; And as the ten- ' easy at the present time is for peo- ple to FLOCK TO THE TOWNS, resulting every day in more over- cre.wding, it' behooves the country to !tit upon some measures whereby the flood of people can be housed under conditions which will produce the best results for the nation. There is another reason for the deterioration of national physique which readers may .or may not re- gard as vital. In view of ,the fact, however, that it is put forward by that eminent physioian, Sir Victor Horsley, it is certainly entitled to serious thought and. consideration. And it cannot be denied that the figures lie produces are very strik- ing At a recent lecture at Cardiff Sir Victor stated that he held that the poverty of the people was due to the parasitic growth of the drink traffic. "Poor people," he said, "who spend their money in drink had nothing left with which to sup - Isere their children, whose physique it .had been proved, was greatly inferior to that of children whose patents did not spend their money in drink. The expenditure of the country on drink had leapt from £110,000,000 in 1899 -to between £140,000.000 and £150,000,000 in 1907." And Sir Victor gave it as his opinion that the failure of the nation physically was due to spending not enough on grain, etc., and too much on liquor—"to not spending enough on food, and an. enormous amount on poisonous drink." Ile further mentioned that although to build 10,000 new houses the treas- ury would have to produce only an extra £2,000 to provide, for a small margin of interest on rates expend ed, it was difficult to raise that suns, although nearly 2150,000,000 per annum was being spent 013 drink. A deplorable feature of this growth in the drink traffic was re- cently pointed out by the Dean of Worcester, who remarked that while menreark were becoming more temperate, women were becoming more intemperate, and that awful fact caused them to fear for the fu- ture of the nation. Well might thoughtful men cry out, "Wake up, John Bull! Build your nation on the people, not on armaments." . '1 NO PRE11MATURE BURIAL. The London Lancet Says It is Un- known. It is possible that an examina- tion of the probability of premature burial in the light of certain facts nay be of'consolation to the less prejudiced of those who dread its occurrence. In all the thousands of. postmortem examinations which lave been performed throughout' the civilized world during g the last: fliy years has thele been u single nstance of the supposed corpse un- der examination showing signs of ifte such as would infallibly appear a t the dissection of. a living imb- ed'? We venture to say that if. his had occurred the world would have heard of it. We would point lit, moreover:, that the bodies up - which postmortem examinations re performed are in no sense se- eded, but include those of persons of both sexes and of all ages who ave died from all sorts of natural nrl violent deaths and a,t widely arying intervals of time. >lvidcaec . more conclusive than !tat of opinion is forthcoming, for t g,, Vienna correspondence dosorrbes he elaborate system of death cer- n/cation which has been enforced 1 Austria during the last fifty ears, which provides that. every ody before burial must be seen at gni twice within forty-eight hours f ter death It c tt t d t l two msl 1Oltdel lidieal men and byono of them gain immediately before the ries ng of thereon/A.

Beef Sold at Otto Cent a Poured But Wages Were 12 Cents a Day. Let's take a look at the cost of living for our English ancestors several hundred years ago, says the New York Press. We can get the prices, because one of Henry VIII.'s parliaments fixed them by statute, raising them on the whole so that the people were discontent- ed. Beef and pork were a halfpen- ny (one cent) a pound, button three farthings (a cent and a half). Be- fore the enactment fat oxen could be had for 26 shillings (a little more than 96), a fat sheep or calf for 82 cents. London butchers sold two and a half and three pounds of beef for two cents. The best pig would fetch only eight cents in a country market, ,but a goose was worth as much. The price of a good capon was from six to eight cents,. of a hen four cents, of a chicken t:.') cents. Strong beer cost two ceuts a gallon, table beer less than a cent. Best French and German wines were 16 -cents a gallon. Good red and white wines were sold for eight cents a gallon, with penalties for poor stuff or short measure. LABORERS' WAGES. Of course, money was scarce. Skilled labor (by statute) received 12 cents a day for one half of the year, 10 for the other. For the cor- responding ng pcrieds commo u labor received eight and six cents. In the harvest months, though, special al- lowances were made to laborers. Mowers, for example, were paid 10 cents a day. Thus a skilled labor- er's average day wage (11 omits) would buy 11 pounds of beef and pork, or pretty nearly a pig and a half, or nearly three liens, or near- ly six chickens, or more than five gallons of strong beer, or more than 11 gallons of table beer. About halt of it would buy for the table thee pounds of beef, a chicken and a gallon of beer. The groat mass of English wage earners under gay King Hal could >. spend practically all their pap for meat and d drink rants beingnegli- gible, a g lig e b n gible,''and nobody (except the aris- tocracy), doing much in or on the clothes line. The laborer as 8 cents I day in the weary couldlive upon the. fat of the land. Though his rent was nothing rte could get• most ,f his living out of what he rented.

I1II h3' time of Henry V1'i. in 11n' f parishes there were reserved, for the laborer, as shown in Froude, "large ranges of common and of uninclosed forest, which furnished his fuel to him gratis ; where pigs might range and ducks and geese;: where, if he could afford a cow, lr was in no danger of being unabl to feed tt.,: This was considered so essential to the prosperity of th people that when more and near land was being acquired by big hol dem Parliament enacted in Eliza bath's reign that no cottage should be built for laborers without at least four acres of land going witl it for their use. When Henry VII. found that the beef trusts and egg trusts and poultry trusts of his day were get- ting control of the 'market through acquiring a monopoly of the lands and restricting their use he and Parliament attacked the monopolies with a law enacting that no person should have or keep on lands not his own inheritance more than 2,- 000 sheep; no person shall occupy more than two farms," etc. The language of this statute was not unlike Mr. Roosevelt's in speak- ing of undesirable citizens : "Whereas divers and dry persons have daily studied, practiced and invented ways and means hew they plight accumulate and gather together in a few hands great mul- titudes of farms and great plenty of cattle . . . have raised and en- hanced tate price of all manner of cern, cattle, wool, pigs, geese, hens, chickens, eggs and such other commodities, to starve the poor and induce them to steal their food." Harrison records that by 1576 farms which in the beginning of the century had rented for 24 a year had been raised to 210, 250 and even 2100 a year. cal court, where he was sentenced to penal servitude for life, says the Japan Advertiser. Since April last year, during the public trial of the accused, he has nos uttered a single word. This at- e •tit:ude led the judge and the public e )•resecutur to cnuelude that he feigned madness as a last resort, tr, hoping to get released. He was e medically examined. by Dr. Kure - and Dr. Miyake, and in this exam- - ination Dr. Miyake adopted a sin- gular method. There is a belief that the blood 1 of a venomous snake is soluble with that of an ordinary Blau, but not with that of e, mad -man. The doe - ter applied this principle to the examination of the suspected luna- tic. and sure enough the. blood of a venomous snake did not dissolve in the blood of the accused. Thus the doctor concluded that lie was really orad. The other doctor also gave evi- dence about the lunacy of the de- fendant. The judge ordered that the trial should be postponed until the accused was recovered from his abnormal condition. WAR ON RATS IN YOKOHAMA. Encouraging the Caee and Meim- tenance of Cats. "This is the cat that ate the rat," is a phrase familiar to all, and it has a special siguilicauce in Yoko- hama, Japan. Early last year a census of the cafe in Yokohama was taken, and it was found that there were 7,000 but that they were not increasing 1 'with norinal rapidity. The reason ryas doubtless that the newborn hitters in tun many eases :found a, This seemed regrettable, when grave. it is remembered that the extermina- tion of the rat is a sanitary ideal and that pussy wages ceaseless war on these infection carrying rodents. The. municipality, therefore, offered a mash payment to each family prov- ing the birth and maintenance of a kitten of fifty sen Per kitten. The scheme has worked well. There are now in lokohama 13,000 eats. and 'the municipality has al- ready paid net 1.075 yen to fend - line preserving kittens, As for the cause of rat extermination it is uotcwol'thy that last year the great- est minibtr of those pests caught on 0 one a • was .-00 bur. ha • therm dt 1 that figures have now decreased by about 30:1 This is eonftdcnt.ly attributed to the. fact thus the eats have re- duced their enemies' numbers, and it is to be hoped that this reading of the stalistiva is a right one. A 11001) BOYCOTT. In 1536;• time of Edward 11.1., Par- liament enacted a foot! beycott. No man, noble or peasant, was allowed to have more than two courses t a t a meal or elsewhere, 'and "each mess of two sorts of victuals at the utmost, be it flesh or fish, with the COmmoo -sorts of pottage, without sauce or any other sort of victuals. Anyone, however, could substitute a sauce for a mess, but it must not. have in it more than two seas of fish or flesh. In London fresh fish during the Tudor period was luxury for the rich, beyond the. )Beans of the poor. In the time Holum of Hr•V111. tt ba.r board and lodging for servants, laborers Who lived with their employees, etc., were valued at funs cents a day.

SOMI HUSBANDS C111i BON. BOI'sS Olt FL113'i'lilrsr Tender Peace Offering Instead of Manly Apology After Rude- ness to Wife. Many a Husband when he has done something to hurt his wife's feelings offers en apology in tho shape of a plaster. It is not the kind to be bought at the drug store, to be sure. It usually takes. the form .of a box of bonbons, a bunch' of violets or a ticket to soma play. But it is a, plaster, never- theless. BIIINGS HOME PLASTER.,..-.;;. A man doesn't like a scene. Nei, trier does he like to Humiliate him- self, or so it seems to him, So, instead of frankly and generously admitting his fault and the two really entering into a closer and richer understanding of each other thereby, he brings home a plaster with the thought that this will fix natters up, and no more will bo said about it. But such an apology hurts the thinking woman keenly. To be of- fered a bunch of violets or a box of candy as a sufficient requital for a wound to her feelings cuts deeply. it means -to her that her husband is either superfoial himself and incap- able of deep feeling, or that he • looks upon her simply as a ch114 whc can be diverted from a hurt by a toy. She craves an appreciation - and understanding of her' true na- ture; she asks for bread and she receives a stone. WOULD MAKE APOLOGY. She knows her husband would not offer a man friend a cigar i£hei • had done him wrong and let it go at that, He would snake a manly apology. Their spirits would meet 00 a common groundof understand- ing and appreciation.' She wants' this same comprehension of herself, this sa,me loving aaknowled ment from spirit to spirit, which only can heal. A box of bonbons is an in- sult to such a feeling, it is a plas• - ter she loathes. The truest and most permanent,.,,; happiness after a quarrel can be secured only by this heart and soul communion and understanding. Only by acknowledging the fault that has brought about the dis- agreement, and uprooting and dig- ging it out, can two build a per- manent foundation for mutual hap- piness. It will not be humiliating to a man to do this unless his be the small nature. The big, gener- ous man would wish to make the true apology as would the woman_9f, deep feeling or deep thinking' de- sire it. Such a woman doesn't want pias- ters. Unfortunately, sho has often to accept them with what grace she can and to summon a, smile to her face to hide the hurt in her heart. MAUISOLEUld FOR RINGS.
