It looks very much as if during the en suing autumn and winter months we should, in all tho stales, ha confronted with a eurfsw ordinance designed to keep children off tho streets at night. Last winter each an ordinance was passed in a number of cities. Thus far the movement has been confined to the cities weat of the Mississippi river hut gradually it is spreading, toward the East, and the effort made in the New York legislature to make a f imilar ordinance a law is significant. The curfew ordi nance may bo explained in a few words. It differs in details in some of the cities where it has become a law. Bat its main idea is to keep children under fif teen or eighteen years off the streets at night after a certaiu hour, unless accom panied by parent or gnardian. This hour is generally fixed at nine p, m., al though in some towns it is as early as eight o'clock. At the statid hour, cur few is sounded by tolling nine strokes on the fire-bell, the city ball bell or the principal bell of the town. If a child is found on the streets after the tolling of curfew, unaccompanied by a guardian, it h arrested, and upon tho firet offense is taken home to the pr2nta and cau tioned. To the second offense is at tached a fiDe ranging from three to ten dollars, or the child may be imprisoned, as the msgisrtate deems best. This is the simple ordinance, although, as I say, it varies in respect to the curfew hour, the agfc6 of children, ai.il the penalties. When the curfew ideiv for children was first suggested in a Minnesota town a year or so ago, and the fact published in the newspapers, it was received with ridicule. But other towns aud cities took it up, and when tho idea began to spread more serious views of it were taken and direct opposition was ar rayed. It was denounced in one city, for example, as rank paternalism, the urgnmeut being advanced that the ordi nance delegated duties to the munici pality which rightly and solely belonged to parents, and should be carried out only by them. This argument was found to be inadequate, however, be cause it was shown that the ordinance was mainly aimed at the- yonsg hoodlum element, which, existent in every town, congregates on street corners aa l in pub- lie places after nightfall, not only to oar own detriment bat to that of other chil dren, and to the annoyance nnd very often the disguEt of pedestrians. The fact w&s alio proven that the hoodlum exercised considerable influence in caus ing ordinarily. well-behaved children to become unruly, and that through these young corner-lcafers children of another kind were often persuaded to be out at night when otherwise thev tvoald be content to remain at home. It has been shown, too, that the curfew ordinance, instead of taking any power away from parents, is a distinct help to them, par ticularly to these parents who failed, lor some reason or other to exercise proper supervision over their children. To these parents the curfew law ccmes as a distinct help. In fact, wherever opposition has been t-hawn to the enrfew ordinance its greater advantages have been shown, understood and accepted. Tho prcof of the puddiLg lies always in the eating, and wherever the curfew- ordinance has gone into efftc: its advan tages have been conceded. This is true now of over three hundred towns and cities, some as large in populatiou as Omaha and Topeka, In each case the excellence of the law has become ap parent, opposing parents have couceded its wisdom, and even children are said to be pleased with it. It has placed iti the hands of the police a most effective weapon for clearing the streets of hcod- Iums at night, and in many cases whero disorder reigned at street corners quiet ness, law and order now prevail. Po well has the ordinance worked that re ports, gathered from net less than forty of the towns where it is a law, show that the line or imprisonment penalty has not been inflicted in a single case. The first caution has served the purpose. These reports show, toa, that tho ordi nance is not enforced in anv oppressive manner. In the cate of evening winter or summer entertainments, which would keep the children out later tbau the cur few hour, authority is easily obtained and readily granted by the mayor or town official for an extension of the time. Its rigid enforcement is applied most strictly to the hoodlum element, and with this class the police rlMm they have never been able to deal so success fully. It will bo nt once obvious to nil right minded parents, I think, that they ehou!d give the weight of her influence to the curfew ordinance wherever it may be presented. It does not imply pater nalism in any respect. On thecoLtrary, the law is aimed to help tho parent in carrying out his duties, and it does this most effectually when, for some cause or other, tho child gets bejoud home influ ence. It is an allied force for tho pro tection of all children. More than that curfew ordinance aims most directly at the hoodlum clement, which it is the duty of every parent to aid in suppress' iug in the town, village) or city in which ho may live. This is tho special excel lence cf tho ordinance, and it is this phase of it of which tho parent should not lo-e sight. It is well for his own peace of mind, for tho protection of his family, particularly if ho hits grown daughters, and for Ihe ?afely of his prop erty, that each citizen should assist in enforcing a law which has for its main object tho keeping of the streols at uight free from any element calculated to cause unrest or unlawful practices. Taken from iny and every standpoint the curfew ordinandi for children is an excellont thinu', and it may wisely bo en couraged by parents all over our land. Ladies Home Journal. A PLEA FOR GOOD TIMES. 'Hard Times! Hard Times! Come again no more!" We all sing it, we all hope it, bnt do we know what hard times are? We sing it while wo eat beef steak at twenty cedta a pound, oysters at fifty cents a dozen, and three kinds of bread at the same meal; we shout it while we smoke cigars, two for a quarter; we tbink it while we etretch oar comfortable legs on Brussels carpet, before a blazing grate, with well-groomed bo'3 and expensively clad girls around us; we shout it to oar neighbors across our smooth lawns, or through our plate-glass windows; we groan it as we lead our morning and evening papers, our plentiful magazines and our ccstly libraries; we dream of it in our soft Epringy beds, while our ccal fed furnace keeps the whole house warm ; we maunder about it in our well equipped offices, shout it through our telephones, ring the changes cn it as we send telegrams and take expensive summer outings. We meet in our po litical, social, literary and business con ventions, and ring iho changes cn it whiie we are spending' fortunes with railroads, hotels, restaurants and places of amusement. And yet, in these daja we do not know what hard times are; we think we do, but we do not. The writer knows of a time within his remembrance and he ia no patriarch, when, in one of the richest parts of one of the most favored states in the Union, the whole town of some two thousand inhabitants possessed altogether not over $300 in money, all exchange was by barter; there was no cash payment be cause there was nothing to pay with. Among the best and richest families (and there were many who thought themselves well-to-do) teefsteak was a once-a-week visitor; round bsef was a luxury; oysters were an unheard of dainty; crra bread was the usual, wheat the rare food ; the cheapest pipe tobacco was a dissipation; cold bed-rooms, scanty wood fires, woolsey and calico were in the house; CxS window panes were helped out by hals, old papers and rags; a weekly paper was an extrava gance, and served several families. Ten books made a good, fair library; beds were slatted or corded ; rag carpets were occasional, iogratn scarce, and Brussels a tradition; the sole vacation was a ride to the annual picnic in tiie one horse shay ; nobody had time, money or heart for conventions or amusements. We men worked from 5 a. in. to 7 p. m. (the aristocrats shuiteLcd the tin.e by two hours; and the women worked at all hours. ' And yet it is doubtful if there was in those times such a universal spirit of un- rest and discontent, such a concert of growling, as to day. Is it fair? Are we just? Can we afford time bewailing hard times, when times are easy on us ; and treat us far better than we deserve. A manager once said with a chuckle : "the mails have been good to our house today; the first one brought an orde- in every letter, and the last one brought a remittance in every letter." We all know 1 mayhap we are) persons who would have said : "Alas, we have fallen on evil times; the first mail brought no money and the last mail brought no trade." Let us put aside these u;ly tempers cf ours; look toward the sun ; smile at the shadow ; all sunshine makes the desert ; "it's a pretty world, eenor;" enjoy its beauties, let us borrow no trouble, shed light on our neighbors; quit us like men, and times will Eeem (as they are) good. The foregoing is from :i circular sent out by Barnhart Bros. & Spindlcr, type founders of Chicago. Accompanying the circular was a price list of goods. While most of the items mentioned iu the list are a trifle cheaper than they were 25 j ears ago, we notice that some article remain the same. For instance, a eet of Hempel Quoins, weighing about a pound and costing not to ex ceed 25 cents to manufacture, are still listed at the original selling price of $2.50. Truly, times are good twith the type founders'1 when they can maintain prices 011 certain of their wares for a quarter of a century. Iluclcleu's Arnica Salve. The Bes.

Sowera in regard to the sugar beet in dustry in California will be of interest: "The yield of scgar beets varies frcm twelve to forty tons per acic. The best land, with good cultivation and a favor able season, will yield from twenty to thirty-five tons per acre, bu. the crop would he hardlj profitable at a ieid of less than twelve tons per acre. In Cali fornia the greatest production from a single acre of land was a little more than forty tons of beets ; but this is an un usual yield. The estimated cost ot pro duction per acre 13 abont 59. In the present condition of the methods ci manufacture, from eight to twelve pounds of beets are required in the making of one pound of sugar; the quantity varies according to the greater or lesser richness of the beets in sugar. Tho price changes with the conditions of the markets. About four years ago beet sugar from Germany was landed on the wharves of New York at a cost of $3.81 per 100 pounds. It rarely costs now 5 cents a pound." During the last six years such im provements have been made in the pro,; ress of manufacture that instead cf con verting from 4 to 5 per cent of the beet into sugar, 12 to 10 per cent are con verted now, and the cost of production per pound which was once from S to 12 cents, is now only 2 to 4. The average cost here in 1S03 was 3 cents, and 24,000 acres were used for growing sugar beets, which brought to the firmer an average price of f4 50 a ton. An acre produced 3661 to 4G20 pounds of sngar. In that year there were seven factories in tho country, with a capital of about 1,000, 000. Caro Bros.
