Prof. Seymour, the mind reader, is in Lin

has succeeded IN convincing a great many
Lincolnites that he is a wonderful man. His
success in finding articles that were hid,

confident that he can read the inuermost
soul. Albeit, IL is certain that he performs
wonderful feats in wonderful way, and
since his performances commenced here,
many of the feats of which were seemingly
impossible, success crowning every effort, it
has been suggested that he Is the man of

Taylor used 20 kill Bob Woods with,
which so mysteriously disappeared and about
which there has been much conflicting
testimony. The suggestion struck Sheriff
Melick so forcibly that he visited the pro-

Pyrethru.n or Euhaeh.

California pyrethrum, or buhach, still
holds its own as a specific against the cab
bage caterpillar, There is not a better
remedy. MIR. f. s.. Carman reports as the
result Of ome years experience that this
same buhach is a specific against that
serious pest of the orchardist, the rose
chafer, Macrodactylus subspinosa. We
had no opportunity to test the value of
this insecticide upon this beetle, but did
try it on the blister beetles with marked
success. May it not be that Mr.. Carman's
success, and the want of success which
others report, may be harmonized in the
fact that MIR. Carman was more thorough
and persistent in his work. 1t must be
remembered that buhach is effective be-
cause of q volatile substance which is
quick TO escape, If the powder is left eX-
posed. Hence, unlike the ~arsenites, it
must be applied daily. An application
today, while it will kill tho insects at
work, may not do so tomorrow. Thus
frequent applications only can give sue

The method by which an employee is
bonded in a surety company Is simple
enough. The employe, having been re-
quested by his employer to furnish a bond
In some stated amo mt, goes to a reliable
surety company and fills out and signs an
application. The application contains q
number Of questions regarding the char
acter and antecedents Of the empioye,
which must be answered fully and specif-
ically. All employments for ten years
last past must be clearly stated. with the
reason for leaving each. a complete de-
scription Of the appearance OF the appii-
can't is noted on the back of the applica-
ton. At least four responsible persons
must be given as references. To each Of
them a special form Of questions is then
sent. Upon satisfactory answers TO these
questions, and upon n careful private In
v%estigation of the habits of life OF the APP
plicant. "A bond is executed by the guaran-
tee company and handed to the employer,
insuring him against loss arising from
dishonesty on the part of the employee.
At the very threshold it is remarkable
to observe how many employers dread to
offend their employees by asking them foI
such a bond. This may be very well as q
matter of delicate politeness, but surely,
in the expressive language of trade, 'it is
not business" The question is not what
is most courteous, but what is most
right? What is most just not only TO the
employer, but to the employe himself
Could a better test be devised than to ash
an cmploye to give a bond? If he if
honest, he will do SO cheerfu,ly; if he
''gets o offended, it were as we'll TO dis,
charge him without much delay,-Lin

the economic results OF giving to the poor.
IN England, Scotland and Ireland, viii
una plenty of books on the subject. The
encyclopedias Britannica" contains n
good article under the heading poor
law" See also other encyclopedias.
Inc Scotch are proverbiallv thrifty and
economical, and yet they have been de-
graded by the poor law Of 1915. In some
parts Of Scotland there is ten times the
poverty there is In Ireland! That law
gives more relief than England's, and the
money is regarded as a nice gift. Those
who had savings in banks transferred
them to others. Careful investigation.
and even the labor test. did not otell the
applications in any such manner as did
the Irish workhouse. Matters came to
such u pass that the fishermen of Wick
could not get their nets mended, their
former assistants saying that they could
get a living easier from the parish.
In Ireland there is very little out door

almost rcversed-five in door to one out

Irish will submit to every privation
rather than let friends go to the work
house, which is the legal mode of relief,
and is not a charity.
In London many people get relief who
could do without it, and consider it nc
disgrace. Industry, economy, temperance
and self restraint would enable most OF
them TO take care of themselves if they
would. Hence the workhouse is a neces.
sary restraint, being uncomfortable OF
even d~isgraceful. They therefore shun

some other way, they will, if not, many
Of them will work. Why are these people
IN such condition? 1t Is a duty we owe
TO society TO ascertain what are their
thoughts, what the motives that have
led them to such lives. If the result is
that the vices and injustices and pro.

such results, let it be exposed boldly ano

Metal Ties for Railroads.

Attempts have been made to a consid-
cradle extent to substitute metal for
wooden ties on railroads, but 1t does not
yet appear that the right kind of tie has
been invented. Wood possesses the quail
ity of yielding in just about the right de-
gree, and a metal tie should come as near
to the same degree of yieltA as possible.
The way the railroads are using up the
stock of available timber should be an in
centive to some ingenious inventor to
bring out a metal tie equal to a wooden
one.-Frank Leslie's.
