STUPID AND OFFENSIVE JOKE.
Eugenic Faddists Lose Sight of Love
in the Marriages.
1 ? x the Chicago Record-Herald.
The cugenlc marriage, says a physician
of note, is a joke. But, as Dr. Felix Ad
ler has just shown in a vigorous lecture,
the joke is a stupid and offensive one.
The quacks who. in the name of science,
social reform or what not, are proposing
the application of stock farm methods to
human beings need some instruction in
the very elements of biological and social
science.
The talk about eugenic marriages in
half-baked or yellow "reform" circles tac
itly proceeds on the theory that the hu
man animal is nothing but an animal. It
dwells on physical vigor and beauty, for
getting the mind, the heart, the spirit.
To quote Dr. Adh*r again, the offspring of
i< strictly eugenic marriage may be men
tally and morally defective. Nothing is
more precious. more truly and profoundly
eugenic than "the tender feeling which a
: out.g man and a young woman entertain
t >ward ?ach other." In the so-called eu
nic marriage the tender feeling is t'eat
e-.) a.- of no value w hatever.
The scientific eugenists are extremely
to rvutive. They advocate few legal or
?- tra-'.eg&l restrictions on marriage. They
would prevent the multiplication of the
criminal and diseased they would protect
the home by requiring certificates oi free
dom trorn certain taints; but they wuuld
n"t att'-mpt t?> "improve the race" by
stoek farm mating. They know that love
and sentiment are nature's finest eugenic
safer :aids For the stupidities and de
grading "Jok" s" of their uninvited follow
. ? tbe> are not to be held responsible.
Ancient Soap.
1 i I. crt":i Chronicle.
T.iere was soap long ago The Q? ii. ate
p-eparatiot s we now afi'ect are different
f'om the soap of former years, but it is
probable that some of the ingredients,
-specially the essential oils, which enter
iargeiy into the composition of modern
soaps, wore emplo>eJ in early times for
the fame purpose as they are today. Soap
-n the form of vegetable a?hes mixed
with grease was in vogue among the
? r.cient Egyptianb. A siir.ilar prwpai*a
t o:i was us^'l by the Hebrews, and when
Jeremiah said. "Though thou wash iht-e
w.th nitr.^ and ta^e thee much soap." he
referred to ' borak." procured from the
ashes of the saitwort and other ? viruh ng
herbs." Borak is In use among the A.abs

TFST OF THE PHYSICIAN.
Bedside Examination! as Used on
English Candidates.
From the New York Sue.
A subject which the man in the street
is apt to treat with indifference, despite
the fact that it concerns his happiness
more deeply than most other subjects, is
protection against unqualified medical
advisers. In time of great stress, when
a member of one's family is laid low by
illness, a condition that sooner or later
befalls us all, one seeks succor and com
fort from a physician, but too often with
out careful selection. In the selection of i
a mechanic or tradesman the choice is I
not difficult, because his capacity is
vouched for by observation of his work. I
This guide is absent or untrustworthy in j
the choice of a doctor, because ocular
demonstration is not obtainable.
The state happily provides a clue, so j
far as is possible, to the professional
knowledge of the doctor bv insisting upon
certain educational prerequisites and a
subsequent strict examination by a board
of experts appointed by its authority. It
would appear from a discussion at the
last conference of the Federation of the
State Boards of Health of the subject of
state examinations that these tests do
not furnish the protection we have be
lieved to be secured by them. The chief
obstacle realized by the conscientious ex
aminer is that there is no single Htand
ard applied to all practitioners of the
healing art. In our forty-nine states j
there are forty-nine medical practice acts
which place their enforcement in the
hands of sixty-two different examining
boards, besides seventeen boards entire
ly devoted to osteopaths. As a result
the country is overrun by graduates who
when rejected in one state may secure
a license in another.
The absence of clinical tests of ca
pacity is also deplorable. While of the
applicants for license by the conjoint
board of England 28 to 35 per cent fail,
the rejected candidates in this country
are about 10 to 20 per cent. In England
the candidate is subjected to bedside
tests that furnish the only clue to relia
bility in the sickroom, which it is the
function of the state to ascertain. In
the examinations as now conducted in
nearly all the states the candidate may
know the names of drugs, their theo
I retical action, the anatomy and physi
| ology nf the body, the formula of chem
| istry from drilling in the quiz compends;
but these are really only the tools, and
the candidate should be examined upon
their application at the "bedside.
Child Life in Syria.
/"n>m iho Atlantic.
Our nights were not tricked into cheer
fulness by any of the multitude of means
which delight child life in this age and
country. As a child I enjoy the love
and care of devoted parents, the deep,
instinctive but untutored affections and
protection of a richly endowed mother.
But notwithstanding all that, and except
on festive occasions, the evenings were
very dreary for the little ones. There
were no children's story books to read,
and there was no one who could have
icad them, it any of them had fallen into
our hands. No pictures for the children,
and none to cheer the blankness of those
whitewashed walls, which the smoke
tinged with a murky hue. No toys of
an\ kind. Now and then we fell spon
taneously into a fit of laughter, or play
ed a game oi hide-and-seek in the dark
corners of the room. Now and then we
were f;.\ ored with a tale about a miracle
happening in the graveyard, or about
ghosts, or wild beasts, which made the
very hairs of our heads hiss with fear.
Our peevishness and naughtiness had no
psychological guidance." When bribes,
which w ere by no means of the most
persuasive kind, failed, the chief remedy
%va-s;,. Sood or the camel will get
J on. Listen! the hyena is coming!
Coming! right at tile door!" From the
fact that men could ride on his back,
we always concluded that the camel
mu>t possess at least the imitation of a
human spirit. Hut the hyena, so terrible
itnri so abundant in the surrounding
v. oods and rocky hills, never failed to
bring us to terms.

NEW LOW RECORDS
FOR WEEK'S CLOSE
Market Quickly Reverses Firm
Opening to Weakness at
End of Short Session.
DECLINE BEGINS WITH
NEW HAVEN ISSUES
With American Telephone. Lowest
Prices in Their History Are
Reached.
NEW VuliK. November 8.?.Slocks bare
ly moved at the opening today. Orders
on band at the beginning of the day,
which usually give the market some ap
pearance of life even ina dull session,
were so small today that trading was
stagnant at the outset.
Variations from yesterday's close were
restricted to slight fractions, except in
the case of Cotton Oil, which dropped 1L
Acute weakness of various specialties,
owing to short selling and liquidation, was
based on developments specifically af
fecting these stocks.
Losses were inflicted of points in Del
aware and Hudson and Studcbaker pre
ferred. 1"?. in Goodrich and in New
Haven. Standard stocks maintained a
firm front.
The market closed weak. Opening with
some degree of firmness, today's two-hour
session soon reversed its course and be
fore the close numerous new low records
for the present movement were registered.
Drop Carries Other Actives.
The decline began with marked heavi
ness in New Haven and American Tele
phone, both yielding to lowest prices in
their history.
The movement gathered force in the final
hour, when it embraced other more active
issues, including Canadian Pacific and the
leaders, which fell 1 to 2 points, while
some specialties, including Goodrich and
Studebaker. also reflected enforced liqui
dation in their low record prices.
Lowest quotations were made in the
final dealings to the accompaniment of
considerable, activity.
Bonds were irregular.
Speculators Mark Time.
Speculators in stocks marked time this
? eek, awaiting developments to give
them a definite lead. Sentiment was still
bearish, but the recent decline appeared
to have discounted the effect of over
hanging unfavorable, influences, so far
as they could be gauged. The movement
of prices was alternately up and down,
and net changes in most eases were
smalk
The uncertain status of this country's
relations with Mexico continued to exer
cise at) important influence on specula
tion. Traders were unwilling to take on
stocks in view of the fact that some sud
den development in the Mexican situa
tion might upset the market.
Reports Restrict Speculation.
Reports from the steel and iron trade
also figured largely in restricting specu
lation. Further reductions in prices were
made, operations were curtailed in some
cases and incoming business was said to
be small.
The one favorable development of the
week, from the standpoint of the specula
tor, was the relaxation in money rates
following the squeeze at the end of Oc
tober. Call funds were lowered material
ly. The effect of this tendency, however,
was limited, inasmuch as it was recog
nized that last week's flurry in money
was due merely to month-end financing
and that a return to easier conditions
this week was virtually certain.

Richepin's Varied Life.
Kroiu the Ix>ii?Ion Chronicle.
M. Jean Richepin. who wishes to ?ee a
working journalist elected to the French
Academy, has enjoyed a more varied life i
than falls to the lot of most poets. He j
was educated at the Ecole Normale. but i
a scholastic career offered no attractions !
for him. He became in succession a dock
porter, a navvy, a vine harvester and a
stableman.. These activities he varied by
occasional tramps through France. In
the course of which he gleaned the ma
terials for his famous "Chansons des
Gueux." In England M. Richepin will be
remembered as the author of one of the
finest one-act plays ever put on the mod
ern stage?"The Sacrament of Judas."

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YOKE.
XEW YORK, November 8.?The report
of the census bureau showing S,835,913
bales of cotton ginned up to November 1
proved rather heavier than generally ex
pected, and the market opened barely
steady at a decline of 15 to 18 points to
day. Weak Liverpool cables attributed
to Increased hedge selling ana scattering
liquidation added to the pressure at the
start, but offerings were well taken and
prices rallied 3 or 4 points from the low
est during the early trading. The gin
ning figures evidently disappointed recent
buyers, but failed to inspire general or
aggressive selling, and after the first
flurry of liquidation trading became some
what less active.

NEW ORLEANS.
NEW ORLEANS, November 8.?Cotton
futures opened quiet and steady at a
decline of 14 to 16 points on the census
bureau report showing 8.835.913 bales
ginned up to November 1. a total consid
erably larger than looked for except
amonp the bear?. Cables were lower
than due. but the census figures were the
main influence on the first call. Initial
prices were the lowest in the early trad
ing. as heavy buying started on the
break, apparently coming from the bulls
who were waiting for just such a fluctua
tion to place fresh purchases on. The
buying checked the downward movement
and caused a quick reaction of about 10
points. At the end of the first half hour
of business prices were 4 to 5 points
under yesterday's close.

changed to a shade net higher.

at a net loss of % to %a%.
