'There are M ready too mnny children In the world. Whnt wo want now 1 quality and not quantity. PorenU ihould be ta;:gl.t the responsibility of bringing enliven Into the world, and then when they have been taught that nlnc-tenthi of the babies born every year arc nothing more or less than human culls. 1 lie llevo tha birth rate will decrease and wo shall hav a better and stronger race." This from Mrs. Helen La Relne Baker, wealthiest woman In Spokane, also suffragist, reformer, philanthrop ist, humanitarian and apostle of broth erly lore, known throuchout the Northwest as "the Little Mother of Unfortunate Children." Mrs. Baker li anything but conven tlonal. She Is young and attractive, la hlfhly educated and wldoly travc'.fd and has plenty of money to gratify every whim. Sho looks upon Thomn3 Paine as her patron faint and belleve3 Bernard Shaw, Elbert Hubbard, Mo.ies Marmon and Luther Burbank the four greatest men In the world. "Eugenics Is the technical term for the work I am encaged In," she said. "It relates to the propagation of nan kind, and I mean to devote nil time to teaching children the rlcht way of living. You cannot mould character after tho children are twenty years old. "My 6tudies of children all over the world havo convinced me that not more than ten per cent, of them arc children of love. The other ninety per cent, are not wanted, and this leads me to believe that ten years hence to bo the father of a family of ten or twelve children will be as much of a disgrace as being a confirmed drunkard is at the present tlr e. "Within the next decade we shall be able to teach these thing-! to chil dren and the result will be a rew race of men and women." riOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDOOO DOOODg Prelate Blames Ameri can Houcewlve.'.

LIMIT OF EFFICIENCY An Unanswerable Arfjument In Favor of Short Sermons. The Yale tradition spoken of brlow must be of nineteenth century or'gtn. for the Connecticut illvlnrK of the days when Yale was founded would hardly hnve got to their "stroudly" In the time allowed.

"Ho said he wanted everybody in Omaha to he sorry that he died." Zones and Renders. While inspecting examination pa ero recently, a teacher found various humorous answers to questions. A class of boys, averaging about twelve years of age, had been examined In geography, the previous day having been devoted to grammar. Among the geographical questions was tho following: "Name the zones." One promising youth of eleven years, nho hnd mixed the two subjects, wrote: "There are two zones, masculine and feminine.

Cause for Relief. An Alabama man tells of an unique funeral oration delivered In a town of that st&t not long ago by a darky preacher. Now, It seems that tho habits of th' deceased brother had not been ir rei ronchable, to the great scandal of the worthy pastor of the flock. So in summing up the case at tho funeral, the preacher delivered himself of tho following: "My brethren and sisters, we are he- to pay our last sad respects to out departed brother. Some says he w a good man, and tons tays he wa a bad man. Where he hae gone to ve cant tell, but in our grief we ha'-is on consolation, and that Is he's dead." Who Gold Them? Tho golden text was "Suffer tho little children to come nnto me," and it vid beea recited to tbo class by a elu mo on tho front bench. Later in the afternoov tbo teacher, in tho c roc of the lossonc. had occasion to refer to tho Uxt. "Now, children," she said, "who said those words?" and she repeated them. A hand went up from one of the larger boys on tho back bench, aad receiving permission to answer, he said, pointing to the cherub : "That little feller down there." ' Dom th World Think?

What would Jesus havo every man to consider ns his chief "trcasuro?" (See MatL vl:33.) What Is the lest as to what a man's "trcasuro" Is, or that which ho values most highly? If Jesus here docs not forbid a man to provide In tho present, for the fu ture temporal needs of himself and family, what Is It ho does forbid? Verse 20 What is Implied In laying up treasure In heaven, and how is It done? Verse 21 How would you demon strate that "where your treasure is. there will ynnr heart bn also?" Verses 22-23 Tho "eye" is what tho body sees with and distinguishes ono thing from another, what 13 the facul ty of tho soul which answers to tha eye of the body? if the judgment Is biased and the conscience perverted, how would IJiat affect the views which a man may have of moral and spiritual questions?

What aro the natural effects of anx ious care upon a man's ability to make proper provisions for the future, and upon bis present peace of mind?

What is the tendency of perfect trust in God, upon our habits of self help and general industry? If a person trusts wholly In God, as Jesus commanded and practised, why is he ns sure to be as pprfect In his sphere as a Illy in its sphere? Seeing that God Is to all of us what the most loving father Is to his chil dren, what effect should that fact, hav upon our peace of mind concerning future temporal needs? What Is the root of all anxious care? Verse 32 What Is the fundamental difference between a saint and a sin ner? Verses 33-34 What reason can you give, for the accuracy of the statement of Jesus, that If we make the king dom of God and Its righteousness our first care, that all our temporal wants will thereby be provided for?

The nuisance caused by beggars in Bo lbny has assumed unbearable pro poi -ions. The Orientals practice charity as n religious obligation nnd relieve poverty where they find it Recitals from Keblt and Mnrshul nev er fall to touch the innermost chords of the natives with their innate rev erence for spiritualism, and the fakir becks up his appeal for alms with pro fuse quotations from the poetB. Then tle-o are lay beggars nnd religious bopsars, tho ash besmeared ascetics wi 1 practice mendicancy as a heredi tary profession. Last and not least arc unfortunate sufTerers whom the lo.-s of limbs or eyes or como fell dis aee disables for work and drives them to beggary as the last resource. These latter have a genuine claim ou our charity, but as there are so few nsy lur. s in India for tho halt, the maim ami the blind the streets nnd byways of towns are flooded with beggars, piti ful types of suffering humanity.

Ko Set Rule Can Be Given n to th Proper Time for Th'.r, Work. Knowing by experience that been will enter upper stories without nny he'titnncy If placed on top of the hive or on top of nny story Hint may he already on tho hlvo, and as our ex tracting Is not done until after the white-honey season Is over, we have no llft'ng of full stories except nt ex-trnctlng-tlme. We put on tho third story when the second one Is about two-thirds full, or at least before a'l the empty comb-room Is used. How evor, no set rule can be given as to tho proper time for putting on extra supers, as there Is a difference In the colonies In this respect. Some bees will work In a few rombs and begia to cap those started first, wh'le those combs at the outside of the super will not be usen at all. In such a caeo It would be folly to put on an other super as long us this condlt on continues. Other colonics will (Ill every available cell with honey be fore commencing to draw out the combs or to cap the cells. Such a colony will need more extra comb room than the first one mentioned, for In the first case the hoes seem to be more adapted to working wax nnd drawing out corrbs. It Is well to humor these dispositions, and not compel the bees mentioned In the last case to .draw out the combs to tn full capacity of the space allowed. They rhould, Instead, be given ad ditional comb-room as thay are able tc use it, and they will store much more honey than if compelled against their will to draw out eel's to the full depth at once.

Several times I havo fouud her In the act of look ing Into a coll, and oft would come hor wings, and aho would look Into the next one without knowing any thing had happonod to her. I havo practiced thin plan evor since I start ed to clip wings of queens. Tho plan I use to atop robbing Is to etiangu thu places of the robbed and the robbing colonies. It works so well that I have never tried to Im prove on It. The uproar Is twice as had after the change no before; but the robbing Is stopped at once. It Is amusing to gee those robbers como rushing out w'th those loads of honey, to find out tbey hnd to take it back where they got It and turn round and dofond the hive they had been robbing only a moment before. I havo followed this plan evor since with good succos. Isaac Balinsr, Burlington. Ont. iiik mm APPENDICITIS. The most dreaded disease of civilization Is tho condition known as appendicitis.
