The testimony of the rich is conclusive on this point. They become exclusive because of their wealth, and we have the testimony of the greatest of the world's millionaires that material wealth alone is not satisfying. Extreme wealth and extreme poverty are the greatest evils in the world unless death is to be classed as greater than either.

We could breed a vastly better human race if there were public institution- to make easier the social meetings of young persons of the two sexes, with the inevitable consequence matrimony. Our blind exclusive-nes- s militates against the sociological idea of investing Cupid with robes of State. Extension of the state institutional idea to the domain of marriage promotion would be one of the greatest reforms known to mankind, nd its realisation appears to be an inevitable outcome of social evolution. A slate institution of this kind would aid in restoring nature's equilibrium by bringing together the exireiuely rich and the extremely poor, r at least giving them an opportunity for sociability.

In nearly all lines of business, in housekeeping, in certain branches of hospital, school and church work, it is already realized that good service means efficient service, that an honest man who is inefficient can do more to defeat the purpose for which be is employed than a dishonest man compelled by intelligent supervision to render efficient service. So far as this principle is accepted efficiency tests are substituted for goodness tests.

The lowest group contains the minds that are stimulated greatly by alcohol, tea and other drugs by impressions derived from the senses; the second group contains the infant prodigies, whose intellectual powers wane in middle age; the third group contains the pathological cases usually terminating in insanity; the fourth and highest group is that of true geniuses, whose powers remain unimpaired until old age. This is Hause-mann'- s classification. Spitzka has come to the conclusion that men eminent in exact sciences, like astronomy and mathematics, have the greatest average brain weight. Next come the men of action, including statesmen and artists, after these come the biologists, geologists and Dthgr representatives of the descriptive sciences. Lawyers' Speeches Limited.
