CHARLESTON. S. C. REPLENISH THE EARTH EXAMPLES OF OBEDIENCE TO "INCREASE AND MULTIPLY." Two English Families That Are Able To Boaet of Twenty-Nine "Little" Ones ? 8cotsman Father of Thlrty-8lx Children. Recently two extraordinary cuhob of .very numerous offspring In the same family were recorded In the English piM-.H, and these attracted great attention at the time. One was that of Mr. and Mrs. Roger* of (!hls wlck, who can boast^.a family of no fewer than 29 "little" ones, though these are by two mothers, the pres ent Mrs. Rogers being the second wife of Mr. ChaHes of that Ilk, who is a well-known builder In the dis trict. The proud father, aged suven ty-four, might have been aeen carry Ing his latest Infant to Its baptism a week or two ago, and Chlawlck sup porters did duo hoiwr to the occa sion. Tho other case was that of Mr. T. A. Black of Purley, Surrey, who curi ously enough as a coincidence, can also claim to be the father of 29 chil dren; and In this Instance the wri ter believes, too, that Mr. Slac.k can boast that theso "30 save 1" are still all alive. Naturally there have been the usual Jokers astir, who got In the old wheoze about "Slack by name but not by nature," though the good natured and popular man at Purley takes everything In excellent part, and remains naturally very proud of his numerous progeny. ? Capital as these examples are, as showing that evon !xl the age of bish ops and Judges who N rail at the de caying birth rate, yet the nation is not wholly going to the dQga in this matter, the Instances mentioned do not form anything like a "record" for our country in this fashion. There was that stalwart Scot hail ing from Cromarty, Mr. Thomas Ur quhart, who not only knew himself as the father of 36 children, but had the supreme satisfaction of living to see a large number of them gain very high positions and became <|ulte emi nent. Of the 36 no fewer than 25 were sonB ? quite an unusual propor tion of tho kind. ? Sunderland Just now seems to bo trying to either break the record in another way, or to qualify in decent time for a place amongst. the notables already mentioned. For the wife of a small shopkeeper in the Wearside town last month presented her spouse with twins, which would have satis fied most fond parents as the product of one twelve months. However, when It is learnod that this same Rood lady had already borne another set of twins less than a year previ ously, one may be forgiven for say ing that, at . the rato of "four a year" to such a youthful couple, the claims of Mr. Rogers, Mr. Slack or even Mr. XJrquhart appoar in much danger of being soon excelled. In the annals of "Numerous Chil dren." by Boyle, there is a case given of a Paris lawyer who had no fewer than 45; and history also states of 21 children born at seven births, and all within the astonishingly short space of seven years. What a family this would have been for winning the good graces of tho prelate of London, or the former bishop of Ripon! -Of course, the actual "record," so far as authentic history can give it at all, surely belongs to Slgnora CJranta, the wife of an Italian living ftt Barcelona. This real "mothor in Israel" did her duty so nobly to the state that, at the age of sixty she oould look round and count something like 49 olive branches who were as delighted as possible tp call her "mother." Slgnora Granta undoubtedly holds tho record still; and our English par ents of 29? nay, even the Scottish ono of 36? will have a long way to go to overtake it. Knew Him as Well. A certain cantankerous old gentle man not long ago advertised for a coachman, who was required, among other qualifications, to possess an in timate acquaintance with the neigh borhood; but to his great surprise he received not a singlo application for the vacant post. "I .cannot understand it nt all," ho said, as during a' chat one day with an old hostler at the livery stables ho had mentioned tho fact. "I^et me see," said tho latter, as a gleam of intelligence flitted across his face, "ye liadvertised, I believe, for one as 'must be well acquainted with the neighborhood.' didn't ye?" I did," replied the old gentleman, shortly. "1 want some one who knows his way about." "Ah, that explains it," was tho an swer. "Ye see, they who knows the neighborhood well knows ye, too!" Mines in the United States. How many mines are there in the , United States? This is a question that' often is asked us. As nearly as wo can determine, there are about six thousand five hundred coal mines. Of metal mines there are about six thou- J sand, producing and developing With respect to the metallurgical works wo can speak mort* accurately There are nine copper refineries and forty five smelteries. There are twenty eight lead smelting works, twenty eight 7. i nc and 311 iron There aro 1 r>9 open hearth steel works and thir ty bessemer works Thus there Is a total of 613 metallurgical works of the classes herein enumerated.? Kngineer ing and Mining Journal DELIBERATELY GO TO DEATH Cuii of Suicide Among the Lower An imals That Art Seemingly Y/ell ^ Authenticated. According to the humane society of Spokane a horse deliberately commit ted suicide there the other day, The animal was decrepit and had been 40* sorted Too Weak to eat solid food, he wan tethered Id front of a patch of clover. He sampled the clover, and then, according to the report, dellb eratel plunged headlong off a bluff overlooklnK the river a few feet away and was later found dead. Naturalists have frequently related th? suicide >of animals through grief. Probably the oddest one of all Is that told by Dr. Ks&ekjel Henderson, the traveler, of a tigress whose cubs had been taken away from her by the agents of one of the large circus me nageries of the United Btates, The party came upon the tlger'a den while hunting Asia for exhibits. They took four' cubs and crossed a' nearby river with them, destroying the primitive tree trunk bridge after they h&d reached the other side. The tigress, returning, and finding her cubs gone, bounded by scent down to where the party had crossed the stream. She knew of the tree trunk, having made use of It herself before. When she saw' It was gone she uttered the most piercing and lamentable howls and cries. The party with her cubs came back to the river bank, at tracted by the noise. The tigress, when she saw her cubs, gave vent to an unearthly shriek. Then crouching, rising and recrouching again several times, she deliberately sprang from the river bank. The river was five times wider than she could have been expeoted to leap, and leaping animals are close calculators, She fell twenty five feet Into the stream. Bhe came up once, turned toward the distant shore, threw her head back and sank for good. A clear case of suicide the doctor called It. : 8aved by His Whiskers. "Long years ago, whe.n I was a stu- ] dent, 1 gathered vertebrate specimens for the university on the plains of western Kansas," said Doctor Moody in the University Kansan. "One eve ning v/hile I was on such an expedi tion I lay in my tent sleeping. Little did I dream of the Impending danger. It was a dark and dpomy night. The wind whistled throtfth the pine trees. The camp fire burned low. My beard had not been shaved for weeks and my beautiful brown whiskers reached almost to my belt. "Suddenly I awoke. I seemed to feel the presence of other human be ings in my tent. Several minutes passed, but before I had time to movo a muscle a huge Sioux warrior flashed his cigar lighter and held the little blue flame not more than three inches from my face. "My friends, for the first time in my life I knew the meaning of the word fear. My whiskers fairly quiv ered. Hut luckily my life was spared. "The bloodthirsty savage took one glance at my features and whispered to a companion : 'We are foiled. The villain has escaped. Only the hay for his liorsf) remains.' "My trusty whiskers had saved me. Then and there I resolved never again to clip a single whisker." Can you blame me?" Butcher Wouldn't Believe It. Health Commissioner F. A. Kraft of Milwaukee tells a good story on a Sixth ward butcher, whose market is one of? those that worry the chief food inspector Into sleepless nights and who was cited to appear before the health comnilssoiner. He was told that his market was a disgrace to the neigh borhood and his methods too filthy to tolerate. Prosecution and a probable fine was suggested. After voluably protesting his good Intentions and promising improve ment, hiB eyes, according to Doctor Kraft, fell upon a picture of a model bu^jjer shop erected by a North side buUmetv The man studied the picture critin!Illy, and not without reverence for some time. "Study It," finally said the com missioner. "You need the example." The butcher showed some bewilder ment, then said slowly: "Ya-as; vot iss it?" "What is it! Why, what do you think It is ?" ?"Oh, I think maybe it's a cllurch." At the Shore. Henry R. Law, Denver sociologist, was lecturing in Atlantic City on eu genics. "It's a bad thing for eugenics," he said, "when a rich old man like Gobsa Golde marries a young and beautiful chorus girl. It's bad for eugeuicB ? it's also bad for tho rich old man. "Gobsa Golde sat alone on a wind swept pier the other night when two gossips from the hotel joined him. " 'Mr. Golde,' said a gossip, 'I'll tell you, if you wish, the names of all the men who have kissed your wife dur ing your brief stay here.' "'Humph,' said the aged plutocrat, 'how many names do you know?' " 'Six,' tho gossips answered in a chorus. " 'Oh, get on with you," said Gobsa Golde. 1 know eight myself.' " Lnrge, Baffling Words, "What is your Idea of the nebular hypothesis ?" asked the erudite wom an. "I can't say," repllod Mr. Cumrox with groat embarrassment. "I have no doubt ray wife could give you some views on the subject But I haven't had time to give much attention, either to psychic research or social hy giene M YOUR CHANC to make a safe and profit able investment is at hand The Wateree Building & Loan Assn. ? * ^ Will laaue 1U fourth *erle? next month.
