Ollirrs are Imil enough, lmt ft coffin tuist is like working tliu Idea to death. It f not tin vvoiiinti with tlie most gold in liur teeth who liiu tho dourest tulle. The hoy who emmes th6 most troiihlo doesn't ulwiiyn slow up to bo thu grunt est nnii. Considering wlmt It Iiiih got vnrlous folk Into, tlmt CIiIiu'ho opuu door has tome of thu ti:t lit Ich of' n trap door.

The New York woman who begun tho ntudy of the tlioek testament on her 100th hlrthday nniHt Imvu read of Cato ntul thu cntctprlHu of his eightieth year. TJiphp Chinese towns have perfectly ridiculously names. Why can't they call themselves something sensible, like Shovvliegiin, for Instance, or I'unx mitawnoy, or (Juuvoiiigiiiiioc, or Kala mazoo V Inside of eighteen iiionths every ele vated railway eiiglno In New York will have been displaced by electric motors. How long will It be befoie the samo thing will be tine of every steam loco motive In tho country? It Is reported that Joel Chandler Har ris hnsieslKiied bis editorial position on the Atlanta Const Itiillon becausu he wants more time to play with bis ginndchlldieii, If the report Is true, we congratulate the grandchildren. "Wlint little leiniin gets Into Turkey usually slips In by the back door. I(e port has It that Hie only dynamo now in Constantinople passed the custom house as a washing machine; and thus the feeling of the authorities were Fparcd. The Delaware .V Itarltan Canal Com pany Is said to he mustering Its mules out of service, ami harnessing up thu automobile to do their work on the tow-path, ir this sort of thing Is al lowed to go on till the beasts of burden imil of draft are let oft from their pres ent tasks, the .Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Animals will be tempted to relax Its vigilance. A short lime ago Prof. Harry Thurs ton Peck Hindu (he statement that wo men had never taken part In any gi gantic enterprise such as the construc tion of steamships, railroads, etc. Kvldcntly be had not heard of the na tive women of India, who make up a large proport on of tho laborers In tho department ol public woiks. Km ployed all over India are women and girls, said lo be ipillu as elllcleut as men, digging canals, making loser olrs, woiklng on' i endways and lnilltU lug railroads. Poison leeently ended the llfo of a lift year-old Connecticut woman who was not only remarkiiblu In beiself, but also In the peculiar quality of hus band she possessed. It was while she wiih Indulging In her eighth coiiseeu tlxuVlopcmciit wllb oilier men and tho hevouth case of forgiveness on tho part of her better half that the latest and llnlhhlng phase of her fate overtook her. Theio In nothing In tho occur rence, however, lo affect Connecticut's historic claim to being tho l.aml of Hlendy Habits, for any thing more steady than her elopement practice ami bis In the way of pardoning Is rather hard to icalUe. In the fclx ltocky Mountain Slates of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, T.'Uih ami Wyoming, agriculture Is largely dependent on Irrigation, Tho distribution of the water supply Is reg ulated by law, and costs about one dol lar per acre. Nebraska and Wyoming have water commissioners, who re ceive nil applications and determluo ull controversies. In thu other four Htates there Is much litigation. Hut when the ranchman's water rights uro once established, he thinks himself far nioro bine of icgular crops than tho farmer In "tho biiiuld States," where there Is always liability of drouth or ccsslvu laliifall, while ho lias tho exact amount of moisture he needs Just when he wautR it, and at uo other time and always on tap. A couple of years ago an old gentle man who has great common seusu re inaikcd: "Don't wake up the Chinese. They can live on nothing; they can work for nothing; there nio millions of them. If they once learn our system of manufacturing wo cannot compete. Don't wake up the Chinese." It begins to look as If this statement were truu with regard to military matters. The problem which the foreign powers have to Mle Is an Intricate one. The Chltiexo pave been laying In gieat stores of am munition, gnus, etc. If their soldiers nie drilled In modern tactics It would H'i'in an impossible task for the foielgu powers to subdue (hem, If China re mains a milled cuiplio the task will be JmpoKslhlc. If It Is split Into several kingdoms, each Independent of tho oth er, there may be some chance for for eign powers to establish governments on n modern civilized basis.. The con e)iieiieos of "waking up" 350,000,000 people may be serious. Despite repeated and uiiquestlouahlo proof of Its poisonous nature, tho salo of the cigarette Is Increasing, If It U not to become n prolific eaiiflo of phys ical mid moral degeneration, especially among the young, more efficient and more general means must bo exerted against Its use. It is known to pro duce In children disorders of tho nerv ous system ending In hopeless Im becility. The Insane asylums have had to open n new column of statistics for Its victims. Its deleterious effects aro not transitory, but easily and Ineiadlc ally become constitutional. Many cor porations, especially those dealing with human life, tolerato among their ser vants no one who drinks Intoxicating liquor while on duty. Tho effects of tho clgaretto upon tho brain nro worso than the effects of alcohol. One great Chicago corporation has nnnounced that It will carry on Its pay rolls no one who uses the cigarette. General opposition of this piactlcnl nature may check the sale of the poison. Moral and sclcutlllc protests have proven Ineffectual. That the remarkable growth of out door spoits In tho last twenty years la thu salvation of thoso who aro unfor tunate enough to bu handicapped by wealth and fettered by leisure Is np patent to even the most casual ob server. A man does not need to bo an athlete or u tennis player or n wheel man to note the marked effect of thesa outdoor pastimes upon thoso whom stern necessity has not condemned to ordinary 'physical employments. Nei ther does one need a vivid Imagination to picture tho condition of these clusscs If they were denied participation In outdoor sports. "Twenty yenrs ngo," says Casper Whitney, In tho Indepen dent, "tho popular set nt tho various clubs consisted of thoso young men who sat In tho windows with tlielrfect on the railings ami glasses by their sides. Now tho glasses have been ban ished mid the young men of Influence are nctlvo In yachting, hunting, polo, foot-ball, base-ball, rowing, golf, nnd so forth." This marked change for tho better Is not conllned to thu club world, however. It extends through out tho whole United Stales, and tho result Is seen In the glorious physical development of tho young men mid women whom wo meet -v very where. The wonderful physical hardihood of our soldleis, many of whom came from olllces ami stores, which excited so much comment during the war with Spain, Is nttrlliuled by Mr. Whitney to the growth among us of (hose outdoor sports which, strange as It may seem, have been fostered by the wealthy and fashionable .classes. It Is Mr. Whit ney's belief that tho rlso of outdoor sports Is not n craze that will present ly subside ami "leave us cooped up In doors again with our flannels and our grog ami doctor's prescriptions." Wo are outdoors to stay. Our Anglo-Saxon Instincts draw us toward this stimula ting, uiuscle-bulldlng play. Tho ap parent subsidence nf Interest in cer tain outdoor sports Is really the Indica tion of a moro rational enjoyment of tt. Ouo might get the Impression from looking about the streets that bicycling had declined. If you go Into thu coun try, however, you will Hud that this Is not the case. The bicyclists have found that riding a wheel In tho city Is nerve-racking, hazardous and un satisfactory, and now they ride In tho country. One of the good things that golf has done, says Mr. Whitney, has been to provide outdoor amusement for people of middle age. Previous to the advent of golf there was uo outdoor game for them that could be properly charaetoilzed as sport. The craze fea ture has now gone out of golf ami It has settled down as a "systemlzed con stitutional." Along with growth of sports among us there has also been a growth of the true sportsman feeling sport for spoil's sake, mid not merely to win over a competitor, The grow ing tendency of Americans "to play tho game for the sake of the game" U thu most hopeful sign In the field of outdoor sports In. this country. Cm Ions KoclH About Children. Au Interesting paper by Dr. Macdou aid, of the Washington bureau of edu cation, discloses some novel facts con cerning children that will cause general surprise. Children with long heads aro not us bright us thoso with broad ones. Very long beads Indicate dullness, des pite tho uucleiit saw. llrlgbt hoys have the advantage of dull boys In height mid weight. White boys of American parents show more nervousness than their colored mid foreign-born associ ates. White hoys of non-laboring par ents have tho poorest eyesight. Colored children Imvo tho bent. CJIila who nt tend private schools are not as strong us girls of tho public schools, fllrls a general thing, however, can endure moro pain than boys, but the boys nr not as sensitive to petty annoyances. Itnoteriu tin 1'iirillcm, At the hist meeting of the Society ot American Bacteriologists Prof, Kluul cut gave an account of the change of opinion now occurring In Knglaud In favor of the purification of the sewago of cities by menus of bacterial growth, disseminated through It, rather than by chemical treatment, as heretofore em ployed. The bacterial system, ho thought, offered the cheapest and most effective method of purifying the sew age so that it may be discharged Into rivers without polluting them.
