BntIeE's Reform.

Boston, 9.-The state executive
council has passed an order revok-
ing the commission of Warden
Earl of the state prison. This ac-
ton. it is understood, grew cut of
an invitation of General Butler to
communicate with him relative to
the conduct of the prison. The
governor has received over seventy
letters disparaging Earl. This is
said to be primary move by the
governor against convict labor. All
the letters received with one or two
exceptions, corroborated by men
whose honesty and integrity are
above suspicion, tell of most terrible
brutality. Men have been strung
up by the wrists till they tainted
they have been confined in solitary
cells, so called, heated to such an
extent as to almost drive them
crazy, and when they protested were
punished by confinement in a dun
geon. Several men are now said tC
be lying in the hospital from the
effect of punishment received dur.
ing the July rebellion. Earl was
removed, according to General But,
Ter, simply because he was unfit fol
the position.

Expectation of Bacon, etc

New York, S.-The Chamber of
Commerce has issued a memorial to
the President ON the subject of the
prohibition Of importation of Amer
lean bacon and ham into Germany.
The memorial states the conclusions
drawn by the German government
are not justified and can form no
reasonable ground for the contem-
plated prohibition of American
bacon and ham. 1t concludes as
follows: In view of the fact of a
thorough and systematic exclusion
of diseased hogs from our packing
establishments, can easily be proved
to any fair-minded man that will
take the trouble to examine the pro-
cess of the preparation of these pro-
ducts for market, your memorial
lists respectfully suggests that the
German government should be in
Yited to inquire into this matter by
commission of experts sent to this
country before a final decision is
taken on the proposed measure.

Rembrandt's EFFECTS"

There is always a temptation to say
that an unusual thing which we see in
picture is not natural; but when we
think about it, and observe Nature for
that purpose, we find that scarcely any,
thing could be too strange to be true;
and this is all the more noticeable
when, as in the pictures of Rembrandt,
the great effects are those of light and
shade. If you want to prove to your
self how wonderful these effects are,
choose some landscape which has a
variety of objects in it, and study its
aspects on dull, cloudy day. With no
sun and no shadow, how little interest
it has. Go to the same spot on a
bright day, and see how the sun will
make the clump of trees stand out, and
look as if each separate twig was joy
Gus with life; see the brook simmer
like ripling silver where the sunlight
falls on it, and note how dark and cold
it looks in the shade; see how black the
rock is under the wide-spreading tree,
and how the grass, that is like an en-
erald in the light places, grows dull and
brown where the sunshine does not
reach it. Could there be stronger con-
trasts than those you see, side by side,
when you give your thought to it?
And perhaps you wonder that you have
not remarked all this before.
Now, Rembrandt had quick eye for
all these marvellous effects of light, and
he painted just such things as he had
seen, and nothing else. In every pic
ture there are particular points upon
which to fix the eye, and, though the
whole was painted with exquisite skill,
and the smaller details would bear ex-
animation just as the blades of grass
and the smallest flowers in landscape
would do, we do not care to examine
them; the one great interest holds our
attention, and we are satisfied with
that. Clara Erskine Clement, in st.
Nicholas.

The Progress Of New York.

In 1771 the population of the city of
New York was little over q, 900; and
in 1856, three years after the close of
the revolutionary war, it had 1854 in
habitants. The several censuses taken
during the past 100 years exhibit the
marvelously rapid strides which New
York has made toward her present i'm
perial position. In 1890, however, the
population was little more than it was
in 1771; but by 1900 it had risen to
60,515. The remaining censuses are
thus given; 1910, 1878; 1914. 95,51S:
1920, 1913, 706; 1925. 166,0S6; 1880,

population of New York City has
doubled six times within a century
doubling, on an average, once nevery
seventeen years. In other words, the
New York of to-day, is siXty-four times
as large as the New York of one hun
bred years ago. The rate of increase
in tine country at large is insignificant
beside that of the metropolis. In one
hundred years the population of the
United States has multiplied itself by
sixteen; but the population of New
York has increased at four times that
rate. At the rate of increase shown by
the last twenty-five years alone-a rate
diminished by the decline of American
commerce and the influence of the
civil war-there are children now

A Misleading Symptom.

A notorious quack found his bust

he was obliged to take an assistant.
He did not, however, attempt to i'm

the public, very candidly admitting
that his reputation rested on series

took his fee and his leave

idea of ones own child becoming q sot
is so revolving that every parent will
shrink from considering the bare posi-
bility of it.
Already laws have been passed in
Minnesota, Vermont and Michigan
placing among the required studies in
all schools supported by public money
or under State control, "physiology
and hygiene, which shall give special
prominence to the effects Of alcoholic
drinks upon the human SYSTEM" and
all teachers must be examined in this
as in other necessary studies. BY cir
culating petitions and by other means,
compulsory Temperance education can
be secured in every State. For men
will vote for the education of their
children sooner than for Prohibi-
ton. 1t should be understood,
however, that teachers have al
ready perfect legal right to give
such instruction. They should begin
now. 1t is our duty to work for COM
pulsory legislation, not wait for it.
Scientific teaching for the young is at
once means and an end of Temperance
reform, but | do not argue that it is the
only means, nor the only end. The
whole work should be pushed on and
enthusiasm aroused from pulpit, press
and platforms; and with our churches,
our schools, our noble women, and the
eternal right on our side, what can
we not accomplish With slender
means against odds overwhelming, the
Woman Christian Temperance Union,
''for God, and home and native land"
has gained victories inestimable; they
have achieved results which shall reach
forward through time into eternity;
they have done work which is beyond
all praise. And in view of this what
can we not expect from our grand army
of two hundred and seventy thousand
teachers who have so much greater fa-
cilities, and who can reach, as no other
can, the homes of fifty millions of
people.
All that remains is for the teacher to
be faithful to her trust OF the fruits of
our labor we may never partake. We
can carefully sow the seed; and for the
harvest trust in Him ''who doeth all
things we'll"

Hats, Collars, Shoes, Etc.

English walking hats of soft felt,
trimmed with velvet bands and single
bird or group of wings, are worn by
girls from eight to fourteen years of
age. There are also many cloth tur-
bans, to be selected in colors matching
the dresses. For little girls there are
larger hats of velvet or of felt, with
wide soft rims irregularly indented and
turned up capriciously, as best suits the
face. The nodding ostrich tips in Kate
Greenaway styles grouped together
near the front are the only trimmings
on some of the large soft felt hats that
are worn far back on the head. The
hair is still cut in the Vandyck bang,
which begins far back at the crown of
the head, and is worn with very little
crimping, and entirely without ribbons.
The collars most used for small chill
dren are very large and round, and are
made of linen or of scrim, edged with
embroidery or lace, while for dressy
occasions they are of Irish laces, either
the crocheted lace, the Irish point, OF
the Carrickmacross lace of muslin, with
the figures wrought in button-hole
stitches, and the muslin cut out between
the designs. Solid-colored stockings
are used in all dark colors to match
dresses, but the preference is still given
to black stockings for both plain and
dressy toilettes. Dark wool Jerseys,
either garnet. brown, navy blue, or
black, are in great favor with young
girls to wear with white or colored
skirts, or for completing a suit that has

heels are worn by girls below ten years,
and those who are older have very low

The United States Richer Than Great

United States to be not only potential
ly, but actually richer than the United
Kingdom. Counting the houses, furni-

bullion, lands, cattle, crops, invest

there is a grand total in the United
States of $40, 40, 100000. Great Brit
ain is credited with something less than
$40, 100000, 900, or nearly $4,000, 000,-
600 less than the United States. The
