LEADING SINS OF SOCIETY.
By Her- Br. (Km. J?. Bunting ton, et Mew York.
What are these stories we hear about
the spread of an uncontrollable passion
for gambling? Is It possible that there
are leaders of society in all the chief cities
of the country who lend their countenance
to forms of amusements that are against
the very law of the land? What avails
crusades in our leading cities against pool
rooms and policy shops, if behind doors
which no detective ventures to pass such
things air these go on? "In our modern
society there is need of the spirit of Cis
cipline. If not, what is to become of
society?
With Sunday lapsing into a mere tra-
DB. htjhtihgtow. Anioa. with the day which a New Eng
land mystic; not over friendly to Christianity, made bold to
call the "backbone of our civilization turned by common con
sent from a holy day to a holiday; with marriage, the corner
stone of the family life which in its turn is the corner stone
of the state with holy wedlock generating into a mre fast and
loose contract and with love of pleasurl so omnipresent and
omnipotent as to have obliterated the very landmarks of de
cency, who shall say that the call for a revival of the spirit of
discipline is ill-timed? Yon may start at my speaking of the
social life of our great cities as calling for renewal. But it is
so.
THIS A DAY OF GREAT OPPORTUNITIES.
By S. W. Perkins. J. P. Morgmn's Right Bower.
I am interested in Young America, and
I like to see our boys push ahead and
come to the front. These -are days full
of opportunities. All that a young man
who has brains and health need to do is
to take advantage of the chances offered.
Nor are the opportunities limited to any
one line or occupation. They are found
in every direction. It is more and more
true, however, that a boy must fit him
self for some specialty. Therefore, he
must find out as soon as he can what he
is specially adapted for and pitch into it.
Too many young men in this country
don't want to work hard. They prefer
to take things easy stay up late at night and lie abed too long
in the morning. They never can get ahead in that way. Times
and conditions may change, but the old rule remains that there
is no success without everlastingly keeping at it.

SHORTCOMINGS OF MEDICINE.
By W. S. Christopher, M. D., University ot Illinois.
The medical man of to-day combats the same dis
eases, which his professional forefathers faced a cen
tury ago, but he enters the contest better armed, and
so lias more successes and fewer defeats. But the
medical man' a century hence will still face the same
diseases that are fought to-day, and his armamenta
rium will be still better. Hence there must be loop
holes in the medical knowledge of to-day. There certainly
are many and serious ones which 'earnest effort is striving to
close. What are they? A mere attempt at enumeration would
occupy more space than is placed at my disposal.
First come the great problems of heredity. Many obscure
nervous diseases, of which Pried rich's ataxia is a type, show
by their recurrence in several generations of the same family
that they are hereditary, but why they are hereditary Is utterly
unknown. To what extent tuberculosis is subject to heredi
tary influences Is stilMn dispute. Equally with his endow
ment of life by heredity each one bears from the same source
a tendency to a certain mode of death. Some things of this
nature are known, but not enough. Even a satisfactory classi
fication of the tendencies themselves is not at hand.
Next to heredity the problems of nutrition are to be noted,
and these are not comprised entirely in foods and their diges
tion. What becomes of the food after its digestion and ab
sorption? The liver takes care of some of it. but what it docs
in this direction physiologists have not yet been able to deter
mine as fuHy as could be desired. Then certain so-called
ductless glands act jipon the blood in a way to influence nutri
tion. Nutritional abnormalities result in numerous forms of
self-poisoning, both acute and chronic, of whose nature we
need much fuller knowledge. When will the last word be said
on diabetes, which is one of these self-poisonings?
Infections show in many ways the incompleteness of our
knowledge. Th specific germs are known for tuberculosis,
pneumonia, malaria, diphtheria, and some 'other Infections.
But the specific organisms are not known which produce
smallpox, chicken pox; measles or scarlet fever. : It Is not yet
known why the great remedy for diphtheria, antitoxin, fails
so often to prevent one of the great dangers of the disease,
pobV-diphtheritic paralysis. This barely touches upon the many
medical problems crying for solution, and whose solution would
not only amplify the conception of disease but would aid diag
nosis and enrich therapy. " v .
The case of 'President McKinley exemplifies one of the
limitations of diagnosis. There is no "means now known by
which the unique complication of gangrene in that case could
have been determined during life. The medical profession
carries the torch of medical light, but the community bears
the burdens of the shortcomings. ,

NEED OF WOMEN -JURORS.
By ' Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Minister mt Washington.
I want to enter a strong plea for the
admittance of women.on the juries of the
various law courts of the country. The
disadvantage of the present system was
brought home only recently, when a
woman was placed on trial charged with
murder. 'This woman was, I believe from
the evidence produced at the trial, guilty
of the crime which was brought against
her. Nevertheless because she had the
advantage of eminent counsel and be
cause she was young and beautiful she
'scot free." A woman told me that she
would have rendered an entirely different verdict.
I think that when a woman is placed an trial if not the
judge at least the jury should be wholly composed of women.
Let each sex try and convict the members of its own sex.
I would like to warq women who enter a profession against the
evil of becoming unsexed. Retain your charms, retain your
gentleness and remember that, although . you have a ' profes
sion, you are still a woman.

The grain Is transferred Immediately

At the old-fashioned Inns and

charge less for women than for men on
the theory that they do not eat so

man and a wife are charged as one

same room. A husband and wife may
travel as one and one-half persons by
railway, and also by the post routes,
