To Perfect the Human Race.

A DOCTOR'S DRASTIC MEA SURES, Kill the weak. Build up the strong. Regulate marriage according to hygiene. Educate the matrimonially inclined. Abolish the self-supporting woman, These a«*e tha steps, in the opinion of a certain Dr Denison, to bring- the human race to parfeotian or near to it. Science, science, science—that ia the unemotional key with which he would unlock the door of physical perfection. All things attain the perfect state by ceaseless application, be argues. Why, then, not man ? In the building of a ship the timbers must be seasoned, and the sails must be staunch and stout, the machinery must be flawless, the dimensions must be exact, All that is unworthy must be excluded. All that is admirable must be retained. And BO with man. To make the man of the future a perfect animal Dr Denison would begin work at oncp on his ancestors. He would have an investigating com mission, composed of men competent to pasa on questions of such vital im portance. He would give them great scope for their examinations", He would bave them paid a salary com mensurate with the widespreading results of their work. He would bid them delve into tbe mysteries of hyg'ene. He would have them make suggestions for racial improvement Upon the completion of their inquiries they should be Instructed to report upon the peculiar forme of laws to be sub mitted for adoption by the Govern ment Then there should be State adoption of these forms, a rigid enforcement of the regulations—and the new race of grand aud noble beings Physical fitness he declares the chief consideration in marriage There should be a boird of instruc tion for young persons contemplating entrance into 'the state.' Instead of attending night school or classes In fencing, the young mon and maidens of the future are to hie them to the matrimonial college aud learn to know themselves. But here stands the most notable plank in tho Deacon platform :— 'Possible limited use by the State of painless death, without the knowledge of dying, in order to rid society of the Useless and harmful lives.' Dr Denison ceosures his profession for so advancing in the healing art as to prolong feeble lives, suspend the law •of natural selection, and permit the weak to propagate their kind.' He thinks we are getting to be so very civilised and intelligent that we are in dinger of losing health. Too much mental development, he thinks, Injures tbe physical powers and favours sterility. So we mast refrain from much further progress along this line: Then, too, the self supporting woman must go, because the work she is doing ii unfitting her for motherhood,— Scotsman.

Is Farming a Fadure

FROM AN AUSTRALIAN STANDPOINT

This question need not bo discussed as far as New Zealai d is concirnrd, btcause everyone knows of the great success that has been aclreved, bat whether farming is a failure in Aus tralia, uncterthe trying climatic condi tions which prevail, is a matter which nearly svery farmer is turning over in bis noind at present. Bile Beans for biliou_neßfj, will however, ensure thai a Carter does not fail because of ill Ibealtb, Mr William Brown, a well known agriculturist, of Maitland, N S. Wales, has a most interesting state mrnt to make on this subject. He a iys;~" lam seventy four years of age, and beyond a few rheumatic iwitchings, had never suffered from ill health till recently, when I suppose old age making itself apparent, I was seized with great nervousness, tremb ling and very bad head, I tried various remedies but in vain, My daughter, living in Newcastle recom mended me to take Bile Beans, as they bad given her great relief and satisfac tion I did so, ard the result is that I am a firm believer in Bile Beans, They have given me great relief and I feel quite a new man, can rest well, eat well and am enjoying a comfort in my old age, that I never thought would be mine, and I feel very grateful indeed for the beneficial effects I havereceived from Bile Beans, and confidently re commend them to old and young," Not only for nervousness, but for general debility; female weaknesses, constipation, piles, rheumatism, the after effects of colds, chill, influent, piwplps, face.sores, blood imparities generally, and all liver and kidney die orders, Bile Beans for biliousness are the most effective remedy known. All chemists will supply them, or you may obtain them direct from the Bile Buan Manufacturing 00., 39 Pitt Street. Sydney, by sending their poplar price. As their composition is purely veget able, In a certain sense they may be eaid to be • raised on land ' for the workers on the land (

Smart London Arabs

The London urchin is fairly Bmart, writes a memberof the Australian team. Outside the Crystal Palace Ground we saw an immature All England Eleven practising with the usual kit—a bat tered bat, am india rubber ball, and a kerosene tin wicket They recognised m as Australians, and invited ns to bave a hand. One of the teacw tried it, but the bat broke short off in the band at tbe first stroke, and they looked so disconsolate that we sub scribed five shillings to buy another bat, The incident was mentioned after loncb, when one of the team, who had not being present, said, ! Why, I broke that same bat yesterday morning, but they let me off for half a crown. ' Ab, f said the caretaker, smilingly, • them boys bave struck a goldmine in that broken bat* They took Ranji down for five shillings over it the day before yesterday.

! A Life Saved ; Sixteen Months of Awful Suffering Impure blood is always dangerous. i Just as soon as you begin to feel weak I | and languid, nervous and depressed, I you are in danger. Make your blood j pure and your nerves strong at once. Mr. Thomas H. Cashel, of Dripstone, New South Wales, Australia, sends us this letter, with his photograph: " I was suddenly taken very ill and for tlirco weeks was delirious nearly all the time, and mv life was despaired of. The doctors said it was blood poisoning:. For many long weeks I suffered the most frightful agony; the poison ing all settled In one limb. I then went to Sydney Hospital, where dead pieces of bone were taken from my leg. But I grew weaker and weaker, until I could hardly raise my hand. I then left the hospital, believing I must surely die. Then xny people bought me a bottle of Mjl y _p___hC -?% Sarsapariila It did me pood at once. In till I used fifteen bottles, "without doubt it saved my life, even after sixteen months of suffering." Take Ayer's Pills with tbe Sarsapariila. Prepared by Or. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S.

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. Established 1870. EYE MY POLICY GUARANTEED BY THE STATE. The two prime reasons which have led to the extraordinary bonuses which this office has been able to declare have been its ECONOMICAL MANAGEMENT and its BE MABKABLY FAVOUBABLE MOBTAMTY EXPERIENCE. " The Australasian Insurance and Banking Becorti," says,—"lt [the N.Z. Government office] possesses the splendid advantage of operating in perhaps the health iest country In the world.'! To this, coupled with rigid care in the selection ot lives, has been due the unprecedentedly low rate of mortality which the -office has en joyed. Year by year the actual deaths "have fallen far short of what was anticipated, and the funds thereby saved bave all gone to swell the profits, which at the valuation ia 1896 (for three years) amounted in CASH to £225,000 Starling.
