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

exjH)iiHe of thu public. 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.

Consul William C. Telcliinniin, of
Ulhenstoclc, iuUIhi's tlmt tlio, ltovuo
Scfcntlllquo recently discussed tlio con
sumption of paper by tho principal na
tions of tlio world mi reflecting modern
progress of civilization because of its
oxteiuilvn use for printing purposes, it
plnccH tho United Stated In tlio front
rank as tlio urea test pupcr-produclng
country of the world, with ati annual
output of 030,734 tons (avoirdupois).
Germany follows with a production of
303,033 tons; England, 240,031; France,
100,042; Austria, 147,700; Italy, 123,
020.
Ono Amerlcau corporation Is de
clared to be the greatest paper inanu
facturlng enterprise In the world, pos
sessing thlrty-ouo factories, with ninety-six
continuously running machines,
the compuuy using almost as man)' ma
chines are are operated in Italy and
the Netherlands together, and Its an
nuul production exceeds thnt of all tho
paper factories In Austria-Hungary
and almost equals that of all the Brit
ish ones. Its capital amounts to more
than $110,000,000.
While America leads) In production,
Germany has become the largest ex
porter of this article, with 01,000 tons
annually, England following with 40,
210, tho United States 10,880 and
France 13,000. 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.
Regarding the direct consumption of
paper, It Is an Interesting fact that tho
United States leads with an annual ng
uro of 38.0 pounds per capita, England
coming next with 84.3 ; Germany, 20,08 ;
France, 20.8; Austria, 10; Italy, 15.4;
Servla showing the lowest European
tlgure, 1.1; India shows only 0.22 and
CUlua 1.1 per capita. Nearly half of
tho paper manufactured In the world
Is used tor printing purposes. Twenty
per cent la absorbed In the trades and
Industries. Almost an equal propor
tion Is applied for official and school
purposes. The rsmalulng 10 per cent
serves the demand for private use.
