The millions of degener- ates, defectives and criminals in the world, most of them the helpless victim. of an unfortunate heredity, are conclusive proof that there was something wrong with the marriage mating that produced them, and it takes no deep scientific knowledge to understand that a better regulation of that mating would help correct the evil. KEugenies is simply the application of good sense and wise precaution to the most important thing in life, without interfering with the beautiful sentiment of gen< unine love as distinguisked from tem= porary infatuation; and the time coming when its just influence will be recognized, and as a consequence the world will have much les for jails, penitentiaries, insane lums, hospitals and poor houses. use s iy In the qu scholastic or intercolleg meet at the G Tampa, the ribune of that city mentions nearly important town aad city in Middle and South Florida as schools “which would most certainly send teams’ and, strangely enough, omits Lake. lanq from the list.

Hugo foretold how some day France would arise from her ashes and take revenge upon her foe. “Then,” he said, “France will suddeniy arouse herself. She will become formidable. She will regain Alsace and Lorraine. It it enough? o! No! She will capture—listen!-— Treves, Mainz, Cologne, Coblenz— and you shall hear France cry, ‘the clock strikes my hour! Germany, hear me!
