There is no surer sign of an imperfectly de-
veloped civilization than the lack of any ar
rangements for systematically and scientifi-
eally collecting and digestlng statistics relating
70 social f-cts. 1t is Of the highest importance
for society to know itself and for each COM
munity to be able to compare itself with eve
~ other, that the lessons taught by the expe-
Hence Of each may be the property of all. And
yet how crude have been the efforts in this d.
rection any one will find if he tries to test any
social theory by results. History Is almost en-
tirely taken up with events that strike the I'M
agination. Of the results of ordinary nunau
experience in scientific form there Is ainioSt
an entire absence, and 1t seems !" NC no'
even dreamed by most people that such results
would be instructive or interesting. Some.
thing. il is true, has been achieved in specific
directions and the subject is attracting an at
tention which gives promise for the future.
But the inquiry should take wider range and
be reduced to more rigid system. We have
multitude Of social problems demanding solu-
ton, yet we have not the data with which to
solve them. The penal code, the prison sys-
tenn, the laws of marriage and divorce, our re-
gulations in respect to education, &C., can
none Of them be supposed to have reached
perfection. But what are we doing to pro-
vide ourselves with the information essential
to any intelligent efforts toward perfecting
them? What is known on these subjects has
not been derived from any organized effort
on the part of society, but is the result of in
dividual industry and enterprise. Without
knowledge in respect to the subject matter
legislation must be in great degree the re.
suit OF guess work as it too often is.
In this State and in every other State in the
Union there should be q bureau of statistics
whose business it should be to collect not only
such figures as would shed light on social
problems but knowledge Of these circum-
stances which, though they cannot be express
ed in figures, are essential to comprehensive
investigation in any direction. In addition to
this we need national bureau of statistics
with far more comprehensive aims than that
of the present bureau. 1t should aim at moth
ing less than the arrangement and consolida-
ton of the results obtained in all the States
emitting those details which possess merely
FOCAL interest and giving a comprehensive pic
ture of the national life. 10 complete the
system there is needed All international bu-
reau of statistics to collect and diffuse know.
ledge of those more salient facts which inter-
est mankind at large, and to give compare
tive view Of different nationalities, races and
systems of policy. Something has been done
In this direction, but the work is yet in its in
fancy. The experience of the world belongs to
the world, and the work Of organizing know
ledge for ell must be one of the achievements
Of better civilization. ~- -.....

The Responsibilities Of the Liver.
The liver has very important part to perform in
the animal economy. Its junction is two-fold. The
fluid which it secrets tempers the blood and regulates
the bowels, and upon tho quantity and quality of the
secretion depends in great degree, the adaptation
of the blood to the requirements OF the system and
the due removal of the refuse matter which remains
in the intestnes after the work of digestion has been
accomplished. ans gat.kEr
