M’KIM'S KILL-'EM-OF F-ISM Readers Do Not Favor His Theory of Eliminating Defectives, Te the Battor of The Rrening World, Dr, Duncan McKim suggests that the theory of the survival of the fittest be perfected by killing all al- leged incorrigibies, as well as infants who are eickly or deformed. It ts a noble wcheme. Heine was & ertpple, Napoleon, Dickens and Lamb are said to have been sickly chidren; Beott was lame; #0 was Byron John Calvin was hopelemly diseased. Milton was bind.

Too Romantic? appre, 298, by Ge Pram Putiiding Gempasy, New Tork wer.) HAT youth {9 tleage of romance and golden fancies we are willing to admit—and we Would not have it otherwise if we could. Stil, there is euch a thing as being too roman- tie, miy dear girls, Day\Jreams are very rosy, but they are not very heal ; for, ike the worm at the heart of the they consume and eventually destroy that upomwhich they feed. As love and romance travel hand in hand, it is always about eome handsome Prince Charming who {s coming eome day to claim her—single her out from alb the remt of the rosebud garden of Girls that sheday-dreams. » The meeting will of course be very romantic, as her fancy paints it, and her hero will be among the handsomest,.if not the handsomest of men. All the bright years of her early girlhood are spent In vague search for this hero her ro- mantic famey has created. She delleves faithfully that she will recognize this affinity the instant they meet by some subtle instinet within her heart; she does not know ex- actly how, but it will be somehow. But, my dears, spend no more time than you can help dreaming over the {deal lover. Wait patient- ly until the real one comes along. Ten to one he will be exactly opposite from the hero you tmagined he would be. But waste no regrets on that, for I promise you he will be a thousand times more healthy and lovable than the ethereal lover your glowing fancy so often painted. Half of the world’s mischief and sorrows have been caused by the over-indulgence of these un- healthy day dreams which thoughtless young girls are wont to give themselves up to, body and soul as it were. It is well enough for the artist to dream of his art and the inventor to give himself up body and brain to his brilliant forays of fancy, and the stu- dent to his theories, For they spur their ambi!- tion onward and upward for the benefit of man- kind, and the offshoot of their fancies, the chil- dren of their imaginations, enrich the world for all time to come. But the girl who is an idle day-dreamer of love and a lover has no such good reason to offer for the wasting of her time. She is generally the girl, too, who goes through life unwedded; for the young men of to-day want sensible, wideawake girls, who are content to do thelr dreaming in sleep—at the time when nature intended that it should be done. The girl who fritters her affections upon an ideal lover who lives only in her glowing, fervid fancy has lees to offer the real one when he puts in an appearance~and he is generally not slow In discovering the state of affairs. More than one young girl has lost a good hus- band by being too romantic. Men want practical wives, not romantic ones. It would be well to think twice upon what I have herein sald, my dears.
