Everybody knows how to be good, but n InrRu number of puulilo are un able to bou that It pnyfl. Ir the boy of 10 who thinks ho knows more tbnn his father ever enn hoio to kuow n victim of adolescent liisuulty? When n woman will travel 10,000 or 15,000 miles to marry or to light n di vorce the matrimonial Institution Is far from desuetude. A hen pecked n Manitoba man In tho ace, and he Is dying of blood poison ing, Most henpecked men get It In tho neck and survive Tho late Stanford White's signature, which has been reproduced recently, look like a gooseberry bush that has been struck by ll((iitnli)K Ono of the queerest things about n woman Is tho way slio thinks you couldn't help liking certain things she cooks If you really loved her. A Western undertaker advertises cut rates In colllim and concludes with thu cheerful advice: "Now Ih tho tlmo to die." Isn't this humor Just killing? If those Hclentlllc persons can't agree what kind of fruit was Evu gavo Adam, would they consider a suggestion that It might have been u Hen Davis apple? Tho Iltshop of London says married men are braver tlmii bachelors. Of coumo they are. Thero wouldn't bo any bachelors If every man had a proper amount of grit A New Ilnveii (Conn.) robber lias ntolcu tho original manuscripts of sixty of tho most famous operas and songs. Some one must bo preparing to write a new musical comedy. The llnroneis llurdett-Coutts Is said to lmvo been tho greatest philanthropist the world has ever known. Watt, how vor, till Hetty Green gets ready to jjlvo away money. Then wo shall see oiiio record breaking. Emperor William rode In nn automo bile through thu streets of Derlln, tho other day, permitting people to rush up from all sides and shake his hand. Thu Czar will regard this Is as an exagger ated case of reckless daring. Sir Oliver Lodge hays tho human race Is still In Its Infancy. IIo must thuu reganl tho digging of thu Panama Canal, thu huttlemcnt of thu Chicago traction question and the merging of tho railroads under tho control of Mr. Ilarrlmau as mere child's play. An English critic takes Longfellow to task for advising us to leave foot prints on thu sands of time. "Sands of time," says the critic, "are those In nn hour glass, and It would not bu rea sonable to expect us to leave our foot prints there." Perhaps Longfellow was thinking of them before they were gathered up and put In thu glass. A joet has thu right to seu bis sands tlrst. Not long ago lu ono of our medical octettes a distinguished bacteriologist gave a learned dissertation on thu sim ple and homely topic lust. IIo main tained that tho ordinary housowlfe did not understand bow to dust her rooms properly. Hho merely scattered It with the feather duster, but did not removo It It was simply stirred for tho time being only, In dub tlmo to settle In an other place. In snmo of our larger hospitals this difficulty la obviated by dampened clotha and brooms, which take up the dust directly and prevout It being scattered. It may bo well to bear In mind that In one of tho teat wards where the dampened process was thoroughly tried the patients never Buffered from "colds" and wero freo from all other catarrhal affections, oven In tho most Inclement seasons. An Illustration of tho broad-minded view which scientific men take of their duties toward the public Is afforded by tho action of Dr. M. Dorset of the llu reau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture. Dr. Dorset has ob tained a putent for a process of pro tecting awlue from hog cholera ; but lu tead of trying to mako money from the patent, ho has given It to tho United Btutca government The money value of bogs which die annually from chol era Is estimated at fifteen million dol lars. Any euro, therefore, is of groat lmitortiiiHv. Tho method used hereto fore has been the Injection of tho chol era virus, but about twenty per cent of tho treated animals have died. The new method Is tho Injection of serum from tho blood of an Immuuu hog which has boon mado Immune by treatment with the serum of hogs atlllcted with tho disease. It Is a preventive rather than a curative measure. Tho Inven tion may be used by any citizen of tno United State without payment of roy alty. The reason for patenting It la that In that way It lecome possible to preveut greedy Individuals or firms from exacting a price for tlw use of It A change boa como over country life and over the attltudo toward rural edu cation. State school superintendents wuilder It their duty to tululster to the welfare and progress of rural ochools, state legislatures are providing special normal schools for country teachers, old normal schools are offering courses lu country life subjects; state agricultur al colleges arc aiding normal schools by short courses for teachers and experts are preparing text-books, bulletins and reading matter on nature study and agriculture; teachers' associations and farmers' organizations discuss these matters and school Journals and agri cultural papers are almost unanimous lu supjwrt of tho movement for better rural schools and more Instruction re lated to their environment Secretary Wilson Is enthusiastic over a solution of how to keep the boy on the farm. Ills proposal Ih to give better training In agriculture, which brings with It lovo of country life. He proposes tho agri cultural high school us a preliminary to tho agricultural college. Economic forces are already encouraging life on ' tho farm. Its product sells at good fig ures and Isolation Is giving way under the rural Tree delivery of mall, the ru ral telephone and bettor roads, while largu areas have been brought Into touch with the world by tho trolley. In creasing Interest of tho city people, ab sorbing as they havo thu abandoned farms. Is having n wholesomo effect upon residents of the rural districts. Thomas Jefferson never sjwko n truer word than that the nrt of government consists In being honest. If onu gives a little thought to the subject he will be surprised to discover that nearly all failures In government can bu traced to dishonesty of ono kind or another. Either tho politicians seeking olllco have not been honest with the people In appealing for totes, or thu men lu olllco lmvo nought tbulr pcrNonnl profit rutliur tliiin tlio Kunonil Rood. Tim recent In- dlctiiiuiiU of public ollleorn In dlll'crunt piirta of tlio country lmvo culled re nowud attention to tlio evils that follow butrnyiil of trust. .Men lmvo uwd their ofllclfil Influence for their private gulii.

Tills iwrt of Conduct: la whnf .Inlm n Cnlliniiii iiiikii called an attack oil tho "very essence of a free government." One of tho Bravest evils of tho present tlmo lies In tho general glorlllcatlon of llnnnclal success. There are many who admire tho "smart" man who carries through what he undertakes, and they do not care whether his methods are honor able or not Tlio 111 tin who cnteru upon olllco poor and leaves It rich is envied by themi perrons. They applaud his ability, bud forget the moral Hhlpwrcck tliat he lniH mnde of IiIh life. They for get that In tlio long run a man roups what he mmvh; that unfaithfulness In early, life menus contempt Ih old age. What more pathetic and moving night Is there than a gray head, once lion ored, bowed In dlngruco over tlio dls clomiro of a life of ludirfcrcuco to the liner moral standards 1 Tho great mass of the people are honest; they abhor fraud and deceit; but they have great patience with the vagaries of any pub lic servant lu whose honesty of puriKiso they have confidence. The unfaithful servant may prosper for a while, but thu day of reckoning surely comes. LEADS AS A PAPER MAKER. Till Country Hit) CJreati'aC I'rutlucvr. with (ifniimiy Fnllii-vliiir. Consul William C.

Germany follows with a production of 303,033 tons; England, 240,031; France, 100,042; Austria, 147,700; Italy, 123, 020.

The United States' ex port goes principally to South Ameri ca, but also to Canada and Australia. Notwithstanding Its large production, England remains a good buyer, having Imported 147,700 tons last year.
