DEPICTED NATURE AS HARSH
English Philosopher's Theory Would
Account for Devastating Wars
and Pestilences.
The economic doctrine that the
natural tendency of population is to
increase faster than the means of
subsistence was set forth in sys-
tematic form by an Englishman
named Mai thus. He crystallized the
views of the ancient Greek philoso-
phers, Plato and Aristotle, the Eng-
lish historian Hume, and the Amer-
ican politician Franklin, and pre-
sented them in systematic form with
elaborate proofs derived from his-
tory.
Malt bus was born on February 14,
1766, near Dorking, in Surrey,
England, where his father owned a
small estate. He distinguished him-
self at Cambridge university, and
became a Church of England cler-
gyman in his native county. In
1798 he brought out his “Essay on
the Principles of Population,” and
some years later he was appointed
professor of political economy and
modern history in the East India
company s college at llaileybury.
He died at Bath on December 29,
1834.
How Chinese Employ Cormorants to
Capture Unwary Members of the
Vaetv Deep.
Tn “My Chinese D^s” Miss Gu-
lielma F. Alsop describes a remark-
able river industry that she saw
while visiting a friend in Sooehow.
We were rowing on the river at the
tune, she says, and as we turned a
bend we saw a long, narrow boat
swinging at midstream, in which two
men stood motionless and silent. Ai
first glance, it looked as if the boat
were not floating on the water, but
as if it were held just above the sur-
fiiee by a flock of strong blackbirds
as large as eagles. Fascinated,
watched the birds. They screamed
and fluttered their sooty black wings
Suddenly a number plunged into the
water. I saw them struggling and
flapping; then the men pulled them
up by stout strings, caught them un-
der their arms, and jerked the fish
from their mouths. I saw a gleam
of silver as they tossed the fish intc
a basket. The commotion among the
birds subsided and they settled down
in horizontal rows, making dark
patches on the water.
"Mow many?” railed a voice from
the shore.
1 hree,” answered one of the men,
‘Later, more,” he said. “The sun not
yet falls down the hill of heaven.
Wait till the fish see not the shadow
of the blackbirds.”
Mv companion explained the cus-
tom of cormorant fishing, which it |
an ancient Sooehow industry. The
birds are tied by stout ropes and
perch on sticks parallel to the sides
of the boat. They are kept verj
hungry so that they will fish, and
the men can steal the catch from
their mouths.
WEAK; BUN-DOWN
Carolina Lady Got So She Could
Just Drag—“Cardui Built Me
Up,” She Declares.
Kernersvllle, N. C.—In an interest-
ing statement regarding Cardui, the
Woman’s Tonic, Mrs. Wesley Mabe, of
near here, recently said: “I have
known Cardui for years, but never
knew its worth until a year or so ago.
I was in a weakened, run-down con-
dition. I became draggy—didn’t eat or
sleep to do any good; couldn’t do any-
thing without a great effort. I tried
different remedies and medicines, yet
I continued to drag.
"I decided to give Cardui a trial,
and found it was Just what I really
needed. It made me feel much strong-
er soon after I began to use It I be-
gan to eat more, and the nervous,
weak feeling began to leave. Soon I
was sleeping good.
“Cardui built me up as no other
tonic ever did.
"I used Cardui with one daughter
who was puny, felt bad and tired out
all the time. It brought her right out,
and soon she was as well as a girl
rould be. We think there is nothing
like Cardui."
Do not allow yourself to become
weak and run-down from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui. You may find
It Just what you really need. For
more than 40 years it has been used Dy
thousands and thousands, and found
. ust as Mrs. Mabe describes.

“dinks says he has such vague but
beautiful ideas imprisoned in his
mind.”
“I suppose he keeps them in his
brain cells.”
Maimers who frequent the coast
>if Peru are familiar with a curious
phenomenon that occasionally pre-
vails there—notably in the harbor of
Callao—commonly known as the
painter.” 'I he water becomes dis-
'•olored and emits a nauseous smell,
apparently due to sulphureted hydro-
gen.. The white paint of vessels be-
comes coated with a chocolate-col-
ored slime, especially when the wet
fog known as garna prevails at the
lime. Presumably both the discol-
oration and the smell are due to
the decomposition of marine organ-
isms. In a paper recently present-
ed to the Geographical society of
Lima, Senor ,1. A.SDelvavelle v Gar-
cia discusses this phenomenon
twhieh he calls “aguaje”) and con-
cludes that the primary cause is the
seasonal shift of ocean currents. The
painter” prevails during the months
from December to April, at which
tune the warm equatorial counter-
current displaces the cool Peruvian
current. I’he resulting change in
temperature of the ocean water
would, he thinks, kill quantities of
plankton, and the decay of this or-
ganic matter would give rise to the
phenomena observed.

After the London performance of
“St. Paul ’ by the Sacred Harmonic
society at Exeter hall, in 1837, Men-
delssohn's coach was waylaid at mid-
night on his way to Dover, but, in-
stead of being robbed, the composer
was presented with a silver snuff box
by a group of devotees. He had be-
haved with charming grace in an
awkward incident. The London
performance in question was to have
been conducted by him. But the
Birmingham festival was just due,
and lie was the great attraction there
in the same oratorio. It was felt that
his appearance as conductor in Lon-
don at that juncture would detract
from the importance of his visit to
Birmingham. Mendelssohn saw the
point and canceled his London en-
gagement. But he attended the per-
formance, and was so winning to all
concerned—audience, performers, of-
ficials—that he turned a disappoint-
ment into a scene of wild enthusi-
