A French philosopher claims to have
discovered that the Anglo-Saxon race
is dying out because the women would
rather practice law, lecture or play
golf than to raise children. The theory
is interesting, and would have been
imnortant but for the fact that the
race is not dying out.
A lovelorn Maryland pair, escaping

in life. Fearing they might be over-

The wealth of the United States is
computed every 10 years from the
census returns. The total wealth in
1850 was put at $7,135,780,228, or $308
per capita, and in 1870 at $30,068,518,
507, or $780 per capita. This amount
rose in 1880 to $43,642,000,000, or $870
per capita, and again in 1890 to $65,
037,091,197, or $1036 ner capita. Ex-
pert statisticians estimate that the
amount for 1900 will be at least $90,
000,000,000, or nearly $1200 per capita.
When it is considered that the latter
amount revresents accumulated sav-
ings of $6000, or nearly four times the
average of 1850, for every family of
five persons, it is evident that the
world is growing rich at an astonish-
ing rate under the operation of ma-
chine production, states C., A. Conant,
in the World's Work.
An article in a recent issue of the
American Kitchen Magazine is on the
education of children in the use of
money. A paragraph in it relates to
the guardianship by the parents of the
money children accumulate in their
toy banks. It was found from answers
to questions sent out to children in the
matter, that almost no child could pre-
serve his bank money from the family
It was constantly borrowed, at
first paid back scrupulously, then in
sums short of the original loan, finally
not at all, and the bank was abandoned
for a time, to be started again with a
repetition of the experience. Other
children reported also on the manner
in which promises of money payment

tasks were set them for which small

death by lightning.
«.Theyvictims,, who had been fishing, left
their lines and sought shelter from fierce
thunderstorms that deluged the north-
ern part of the city about 1 p. m. Ten
minutes later their bodies lay, with twist-
ed and tangled limbs, “like a net of
snakes,” as the man who found them
said.
Twelve sought shelter and one escap-

was uninjured, bu he lay many minutes
before he could be drawn out from un-
der the heap of dead bodies.
‘The dead are all from families of com-
pdratively poor persons. They comprised
a party who were fishing and seeking re-
and swim on the beach.
_ The scene of the tragedy was a pier
just south of Marquette Terrace, and a
pumping station, at the foot of Montrose
boulevard. The storm which sprang up
was violent. The skies were filled with
lightning and the air rumbled stea.lily
with thunder. Half a dozen houses in
the vicinity were struck and almost all
of the telephone wires were burned out.
The men and boys on the pier rushed
for the only available shelter and crowd-
cd themselves in through the little trap-
door in the cabin till they were packed
almost to suffocation. Then came the
thunderbolt. It was the worst of the
storm. Watchers in the pumping station
saw the lightning strike the water, as
they thought.

been particularly active of late years,

In order to compete more success-
{ fully with the Northern concerns, the

occurred: is not clear to officials, but it
appears to have, been an error of calcula-
tion at Peking, in the first place by those
making up the indemnities, and later by
the Chinese in their hasty acceptance of
the total.’ As finally made up, this total
was 450,000,000 taels; but the present
calculation, after taking into account all
