The Boston Herald recently mentioned
the case of the father of a highly re-
spected Boston physician who, at sonle-
what late stage of consumption, when
50 weak as to be hardly able to walk.
took his horse and chaise, and with a
friend as a companion, journeyed from
place to place for several weeks, and re-
turned practically cured.
What was the secret of that cure
Clearly not medical drugs. Yet it is
just these that the consumptive generally
relies on almost exclusively, taking the
prescription daily in his cushioned chair,
until he is lifted to his bed, to wear out
the little remnant of his life.
From first to last his medicines have
merely, or mainly, made him feel more
comfortable. while the disease has stead
lily progressed to the fatal end.
In the case of the wiser man mem
toned above, pure air was the chief ele-
ment of cure; and the pure air was kept
pure, for, while his own breathing
tended to infect it. he was constantly
leaving the infection behind him. To
the consumptive pure air is always the
first requisite, and the main value of
winter resorts is in their allowing the
patient to spend so large a part of his
time out of doors.
A distinguished physician once said
that il he we're attacked with consump-
tion he would build shed to his house
and sleep in it. Thus, through the free
circulation, he would avoid the constant
re-breathing of his own infected breath.
But in the case under consideration
the breathin of pure air was not the
only advantage of the course pursued.
The mans daily travel gave him gem
tie exercise suited to his condition. Dis
ease can be thrown off only by the ac-
tivity of the various life processes-di-
gestion, assimilation, secretion, excre-
tion, and the many chemical and vital
changes.
Now, it is an established fact that a
certain amount of physical exercise is
essential to such activity of the vital proc
esses. In the case of the sick it is es-
specially essential, since the system must
be daily ridding itself of morbid matter
and be making unwonted draughts on its
recuperative power.
In some cases horses back would be
better than the chaise; but the exercise
must be suited to the particular case. It
must never be fatiguing.
Another element of the cure was the
change of scene. 1t is a great help to
have the mind diverted from ones symp-
toms, and pleasantly taken up with new
surroundings, as far as possible removed
from ordinary business cares and the ac-
customed routine of thought. - Halls

The Western Empire.

We of the East scarcely realize our
great empire of the Pacific California,
Oregon, and Washington have an area
of 1895 square miles-greater than
New England, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, and North and South Caro-
lima combined. 1t is great, also, in its
resources, embracing every element of
wealth to be found in the Eastern, Mid
die, and Western States, and the South
ern might be added, with the exception
of rice, cotton, and sugar. for California
grows all the tropical fruits. California
is the great fruit State, but also grows
considerable wheat. Oregon has lumber
and extensive agricultural lands. WASH
ington has more lumber and more agri-
cultural lands, and far more coal and
iron, than either of the others. 1t more
resembles Pennsylvania, and may prop
erly be called the Pennsylvania of the
Pacific. The wheat lands of California
and largely of Oregon are cultivated in
large tracts of several thousand acres
owned by one person, and the work Is
done chiefly by machinery. There are
only two brief seasons of work-plowing
and reaping. Cattle and hogs roam
over the fields and fatten the rest of the
year. It requires large capital and a
big ranch to make this kind of farming
profitable. It is no place for farmers
of limited means or for small farms. A
thrifty farmer must have work the year
round. He wants to have his garden,
his fruit orchard, and his cows and pigs,
as well as the grain and stock he raises
for market Eastern Washington is the
better place for such a farmer. - Pitts

FAIR MINDED KICKER.

We don't like the men who forever complain,
No matter what happens along;
And who from their kicking will never abstain
Though fortune be right or be wrong
They will not be pleased though the kindlest fate
May do everything that it can,
They're bound to be kicking both early and late
Because they are built on that plan.
We don't like the martyrs who never complain
Though everythings going awry;
Who always their seraphlike meekness retain,
Though clouded for aye be the sky.
They're really too good for planet like this.
Who never see anything wrong;
They we're meant for realm of unqualified bliss
And ought to 60 where they belong.
A fair-minded kicker deserves our respect,
For he is to justice friend;
The things that are wrong he will soundly reject
And those that are good he'll commend.
But the two great extremes should alway repress
Whenever, their visage is seen,
But our kindliest feelings ought to express
For the sort that's betwixt and between.

The Criminal Type.

The New York Tribune discussing the
traits of the pronounced criminal classes
recently had the following to say: A like
moral Obtuseness appears I the instructive
criminal. and his characte throughout is
Enthusiastically childish thai is to say, unde-
veloped. Criminal anthropology has not
been pursued far enough to demonstrate the
exact influence of heredity in determining
the limits of arrested development in this
class. We can only say with confidence
that owing to certain conditions. physical
and psychical together, the instructive crimi-
nal is in effect reversionary type, and in
the more pronounced cases incapable of be-
ing adapted to modern civilization. But it
must be clearly understood that no hard and
fast lines can be drawn. So many influ-
ences are combined in the production of the
criminal type that each individual must be
judged by itself; and this is cOgent reason
for objection to all penal systems which ig
more individuality and attempt to deal with
criminals as if they were autOmata, all
made upon the same model. Inherited dip
somania, inherited epileptic neuross, inher-
tied physical disease or predisposition to
disease, must each and all be taken into
consideration. AS a rule the instructive
criminal type of large cities is of weakly
constitution. Queer shaped skulls. pigeon
breasts, feeble muscular development.

characterize this class. Moral instability,

Pile. Unfortunate from any rational point
of view they must be considered. but it
would be great mistake to suppose them
unhappy. In fact. their very defects and
limitations preserve them from that form of
mental detection which is possible only to
more advanced types and in the light-heart-
ednes5 and gayety with which they undergo
all the penalties and pains incidental to
their chronic war against society, we have
a clue to the real condition of the masses
during the period commonly spoken of as
the dark ages. In spite of war. famine,
oppression, poverty, toll. and what we re-
gard as the depths of discomfort and mis-
cry, there can be little doubt that our bar
barous ancestors really enjoyed life. on the
whole. as much as the majority of the peo-
pie do to-day.

tenceS.
Much has been said and written regard
ing the nature, causes and treatment of
crime; but with few exceptions. the pro-
ductions have consisted of unpracticable. il
lusory, extravagant theories. far removed
from the regions of hard facts, and leaving
the reader in far more bewildered and
helpless condition of mind than ever. We
cannot get away from this sad though SOL
emn truth, that crime, like poverty, will
ever be present, to a greater or less extent,
in every community, whether civilized or
unciviiized. The first question which arises
in the mind of the reader, as he casts his
eye over the daily catalogue of crime." In
his morning journal is, ''Why should these
things be? Cannot we stem the tide of this
wrong-doing and gradually exterminate the
evil element from society?" The nat
ural and self-evident solution of this
important question is, that the main
cause of the constant increase in the Grim
inal population and the character and mag
nitude of the crimes committed, is to be
found in the defective, contradictory, un-
Just, and absurd character of the Code of
Criminal Procedure. by which our GRIM
inal courts and penal institutions are gov
erned. The administrators of the law,
prison refOrmers, and political economists
are helpless and divested of all power to
repress crime and repreSs the criminal (nO
matter how ardent their desire so to do).
because the anomalous and ridiculous regu-
latiOns by which they are bound completely
paralyze and negative all the efforts to that
nd Tho of fho Crir
inal Code is founded on the old Mosaic
idea of retribution and vengeance, and COM
pletely shuts out all idea of reformation or
restoration principle of coercion, re-
preston, and eXtirpatiOn has been the only
recognized element in the treatment of the
wrong dOer; and as an Inevitable cOnSe-
quence. the accidental or transient offender
has developed into the habitual criminal;
and the victim of surrounding circumstances
or the pressure of poverty has just as surely
been transformed into the incorrlgible and
violent law-breaker. There is not sOli-
tary court room within the limits of the
Federal Union in which the absolute truth
of this statement does not receive daily and
hourly corroboration. Let us, therefore,
look the matter squarely in the face. An
individual is arrested on Suspicion; if he is
ignorant of legal procedure. friendlesS, and
unable to produce irrefragable evidence
of his innocence, that arrest is equiv
alent to conviction, and the stigma of ''jail-
bird" is ineffaceably imprinted on him for
the remainder of his natural life. Ii he is
subsequently proved innocent of the crime
laid to his charge so much the worse for
him; for. so far as the public mind is con-
cerned, 'the mud will stick" and all he
can say or do to the contrary will not alter
it. Under the operation of the law of ar
bitrary sentences. the prisoner is entirely at
the mercy of the public, the prosecution,
and the jury before which he is tried. In
the large majority of cases, the prisoner
himself is the only one in the courtroom
