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

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
