ToLsro1's new-fashioned philosophy, in the hands
of some of Tolstoi's followers in Arkansas seems
to have smmered down to bitter trade against
the baby. Poor baby in the rush and roar of
the new style "individualism," the baby as an
individual gets lost sight Of if, indeed, not COM
pletely wiped OUT Of existence. The world, say
these individualists, is so wicked such foul
unclean place that every soul brought into it
runs hundred chances to one of being lost.
This brings to mind an instance recalled by
memory of a very learned man, who once dwelt in
the State of Maryland, and having suffered in
health from severe study, was counciled by his
physician to seek outdoor exercise and diversion.
Accordingly Ratchet, nails and boards were pro-
cured, and with his own hands the professor made
pen, into which he turned very small Berkshire
pig, whose care was to be his (the professor's)
daily charge. The pig grew in flesh and intelli-
gence day by day, until the learned man marveled
greatly that pig could be so wise, and man
become so fond of him. A cloud arose. The pig
was now no longer a pig, but full grown hog of
huge proportions, the pig sy was too small for the
hog, and the professor grew vexed to know what
course to pursue. AT length plying the dlscom-
future of his pet he called in a young German
farmer. "You see, Jacob" said he, 'this pig
has very unwisely outgrown his sly, and | can no
longer bear to witness his discomfort, and much
as admire his intelligence and dislike to part with
him, shall be obliged to exchange him for one
that is smaller, for what with the great pile of
corn cobs in one corner and the broken trough in
the other, there is no longer room for this pig to
lie down, and l wish to exchange him for a
pig that can live comfortably in this sty." The
exchange was made, and as the huge porker was
being driven to market next morning. if as wise as
his master believed him to be, he doubtless attri-
buted his unhappy fate more to a bungling
carpenter and lack of cleaning than to his being
pig The trouble is not with the babies, but their
surroundings. The world needs sweeping and
busting, such only as women can do. Turn the
light of the innate feminine moral force upon the
world, giving it the same chance that mans

DOES education, early association, parental in
fuence, and the training we receive tend to make
us differ from our beings? Undoubtedly
the mind is more easily influenced in childhood; it
is more plastic, and although it contains within it.
self certain inherent qualities, or characteristics,
yet much depends upon the culture or develop
ment these receive. To illustrate: Go into the
field in seed time watch the sowing of the seed;
broadcast it is scattered over the fertile SOIL where
it springs to life and growth. Some of it has
fallen into the remote corners of the field the out
of the way hooks, where untouched by the re-
freshing dew, shut from the penetrating fe-giving
rays of the sun, it slowly struggles for existence
The soil is just the same as that in the center of
the field, the loan is just mellow, but the plow-
mans furrow does not touch the spot where it has
fallen, and deprived Of all culture, what does it
yield when the harvest time is at hand? Only O
semblarce of what was originally sown-a starved,
half-formed grain, true to nature only in that it
resembles the one originally sown. So is che child
mind The seeds Of %ruth, honesty, integrity,
sobrety, industry, etc., are planted, but the work
is not done. These principles once nculcated
must be carefully trained. True education con-
ssts not in eimparting only of certain truths but
in the training to think. 1t is astonishing to see
how many there are who never think upon any
subject. An original idea is to them thing I'M
known. They believe or disbelieve, accept or re-
ject doctrine, theory or principle, just as they
breathe-mechanically Never once does the rea-
soning faculties take hold of and investigate the
why and wherefore of any great problem or ques-
ton. If they individually are not subjected to
any inconvenience, do not feel personally the effect
of any wrong, they are unwilling to inquire as to
the cause of the existing evil Happy in their own
surroundings, the call for help from those who are
breasting the breakers falls unheeded on their ears
They have accepted as true a theory (simply
because for centuries it has been believed) without
giving it q thought. The doctrine that woman
was mentally mans inferior was taught for SO
many generations that now that it has been clearly
disproven, not by an exceptional case here and
there, but by many, the world stands astonnded
That she is intended to be in the fullest sense of
the word, "help-meet' for man, is yet to be
demonstrated when she stands his co-equal before
the world. If the reading, thinking women, aye,
and men, too, will but thoroughly investigate and
bring the light of reason and the judgment of
mind unprejudced by former beliefs, unbiased by
former theories, to this task they will surely reason
out clearly the sex problem for themselves. But
just as long as they fail to look at both sides of
the question, simply because it does not affect
them just so long will woman fail to reach the true
standard of womanhood, for which she was in
tended by an All-wise Creator.

MEN have ever shown themselves greater than
their institutions, and even if this were not true,
they are constantly outgrowing their institutions,
just as their boys are continually outgrowlng their
jackets and pants What folly to say to the boy,

pants, they are time-honored garments, they once
fitted you, and you must never cast them off,

no; not if they are live agents and understand
their business and follow the dictates of common

man of family naturally asks first, sWhat are your
educational advantages" and no thoughtful father

these are not of paramount Importance Here, in
this beautiful city, is valuable tract of land that
the citizens of this great commonwealth should
importune Uncle Sam to donate to Arkansas for

home-seeker no better location could be found
than lies within our borders.

estly invite discussion Of their claim, its justice

MRS PEARsoLL SMITH, an American lady, at a
meeting of the Central Woman's Suffrage Society
held in London, stated, in the course ofan admira-
BILE address, that, when high school, capable of
admitting 400 girls, was opened in 1920 at Bristol
so great the cutlery against the evil effects of
educating women that the Mayor ordered it to be
closed Immediately. Not less astonishing to the
mind imbued with modern ideas is the assurance
of Mrs. Smith that she could remember when geo.
graphy was excluded from the curriculum of girls
schools, as "likely to breed discomfort and lead
the mind to wander too far from home"

year. viz, 524, 500 quarters against l, 2s6, si6
quarters IN Nav l, 1859 In Russia the quantity
of wheat on hand must be very much less than
last year, although it would be impossible to at
tempt any estimate of the exact quantity. In
Australasia there is, on the other hand, consid-
erably more than last year, which is, however,
quite set off by the deficiency in the Indian
crop. In Germany and Holland stocks are no.
toriously low. Thus, il it were possible to esti-
mate the worlds stocks Of wheat, the r6sult-as
far as the comparison with last years is con-
cerned-would be found to be far different from
that conveyed by the weekly statement OF the

From the above it will be seen that outside of
the general direction of the coast line and lit
toral currents no analogy exists at the two ports
either in physical characteristics plans. The
rise and fall of the tide at Malamocco is twice
that at Galveston, and the slope of the gulf
bottom seven times greater. The ietties at
Malamocco are built normal to the general
coast line and at Galveston at an
angle of % deg, with normal. At Mala-
mocco the north jetty was built first, which pro-
duced deepening of channel across the bar of
six and one-half feet. At Galveston the south
lefty was built across the bar IN NJ 1883 without
eriment is nov being tried again.
Major Ernst a lso says that Fortunately we
find in nature infallible guide for the interval
BILE to expect that a depth of thirty
feet or more can be maintained if the surface
width be made the same upon the bar that it is
in the gorge, viz: 1000 feet If this be true the
depth of 100 feet in the Malamocco gorge should
have produced at least sixty foot channel be-
tween the jetties at that place, but only
thirty one feet were obtained it is probable the
plans for Galveston iii ever completely will give
r ength of hf tSo s Sa 'S ohannel as
Malamocco being only one-seVenth
th at proposed FOR Galveston and the rise and
fall of the tide being double tn at az the latter
place, the slope of the water surface during ebb
tide will be fou rteen times greater at Malamocco
than at Galveston, and consequently will have
about that much more securing force. With
all this surplus force the etties 1900 feet apart
at Malamocco have maintained the channel for
years unlDlureu, ana yet Ine major SAYS lSC-
ties at Galveston 2OO0, 1900 or even 5000 feet
apart will have to get out of the way. and will
go down.
At the mouth Of the Brazos river currents of
six to seven miles per hour flowed between jet
ties $50 feet apart for over month, during the
past spring and yet the ietties are now in a more
substantial condition than when the rise in the
river commenced, and as the current on Calves
ton bar seldom exceeds three miles per hour, it
seems strange that its destructive
powers should be SO greatly feared.
Mai, Ernst, in order to make as strong
argument as possible for weak cause,
compares the maximum ebb tide discharge
at Galveston (25O, 900 cubic feet per second)
with the low water discharge of the South Pass
entran ce OF the Mississippi river, IA, 900 cubic
feet per second). Il would be equally as sensi-
BILE to compare the high water discharge at
South Pass, TO- 900 cubic feet per secOnd) with
the dead water that stands on the Galveston bar
a great deal OF the time, or with the food tide
currents flowing into the harbor car
rying with them material for forming new bars.
If the plans for improving Galveston harbor
have no stronger arguments in their favor than
those already advanced, congress will do well to
investigate the matter more thoroughly before
appropriating s., 200, 900 to try the experiment.

The Havana Weekly Report has the follow
ing: Planters avail themselves of the short
bright intervals of two or three days in the rainy
weather to advance as much as they can the
planting of the cane that is considerably back
ward this year on account of the advanced pc
Rod of the season at which the rains set in on
this island, and the scarcity of able field hands
is so much more severely felt, inasmuch as q
certain number of plantations, specially those
that have installed green bagasse burners, are
still grinding; but it is likely that they will also
soon be compelled to extinguish their fires on
account OF the rain that reduces the yield and
considerably interferes with the cutting and
transportation of the cane.
AT Cienfuegos the sugar manufactured until
the 18th OF May aggregated 55S, 225 bags, equiva-
lent to III, 645 hhds, against 70, SOL do. same
date last year, there being difference of 81 6S4
hhds in favor Of 1880. Most of the central
factories in that district are still hard at work
but it is probable that only few will be able to
grind the totality of their cane on account of the
motives above stated; by all means it is calcu-
lated that about q, 900 hhds more can yet be
made, which will enhance to about I36, 500 hhds
the total production of that district. At Sagua,
in which locality the crop may be considered as
already terminated, has given the following re-

HAS GALVESTON A PRECEDENT?

The various plans of the United States engin-
eer corps for the improvement of rivers and har-
bors in the United States have proven such utter
failures that the corps is obliged to look abroad
for all presidents in planning new cork.
Maj. Q. II. Ernst, United States engineer
corps. appeared bafore the commerce committee
of the senate February 3, 1891, to advocate the
plan of the United States engineer board for i'm
proving Galv harbor, and stated
that, "The plan is justified by pre-
cedent as well as by common
sense The only precedent mentioned is the
Malamocco entrance at Venice, which, the
major stated, resembles Galveston in the most
essential features" In making this comparison
physical characteristics of the Malamocco en-
trance, or else was imposing upon the credulity
OF those who have neither the time nor oppor-
tunity to investigate su CHI matters.

columns the physical features of these two har-
bors, on which the success of plans depend.
