PROBATION OFFICERS,

An interesting experiment in dealing with young animals has been quietly go- ing on in Massachusetts. That it has worked well is indicated by the fact that a law has been enacted by the legislature making compulsory the appointment of probation officers. The idea of putting on probation certain ones who, though convicted of minor offenses, were not criminally minded, was advanced many years ago in Massachusetts, but not until thirteen years ago was any official action taken. Then law was passed permitting the appointment of probation officer in Boston, and some years later permission was legally given for the appointment of such an officer in each city and town. So well has the plan worked, and so many have been saved from life of crime and shame by wife treatment on the occasion Of the first offense, and subsequent watchfulness and kindly aid that now the permissive appointment oi such crime-averting officers has been made mandatory. The Independent, in com menting on this new law and its adoption in every minor court in the State, declares that it marks new era in the treatmen of crime in Massachusetts, and predict
 that in the coming year five thousand per sons will be saved from the smirch O prison life because of it, with far bette
 results than would come from commit | ment.
 Connecticut might well try plan whicl has worked so we'll in Massachusetts.

 So intent are they on their errands that they would not recognize their own wives if they passed them by. This is the spot on Broadway where the thermometer marks fever heat. It is the great fighting ground of the city, where the battle of business goes on from eight o'clock in the morning until three in the afternoon, at which time the work flags little and grows less and less hurried until five, when the armies declare an arnistice for the day and march of up town to plan 6 fresh campaign for the morrow. The ar mics begin to arrive before eight and gath CT from every point of the compass The ferry-boats land them by thousands and hurry back across the river for thousands | more, the elevated roads marshal them from far up town, gathering them by com panies at each station, where they are un- l loaded and scattered over the business dis | tricts in regiments.

DECORATION DAY.

Again we have come to Decoration Day. The first Decoration Days were days of mourning and solemn days. Now, although there are faithful souls who still mourn, there is little sharp grief, and the day is one of proud remembrance, honor and patriotism. The Sons of Veterans march after such of their fathers as are still left to march. The children bring flowers and take their part in the exercises of the day. There is cheerful music, reunion of old comrades, talk over old times and strength ening of old friendships. The day is a pleasant one and isa very useful one. Itis a grand object lesson to the children. This is sordid age, and day which teaches that there are higher things than money getting is worth having. Long may it flourish and grow in popular approval, az it has from the start.

 There is some discussion concerni, Canada as farming country. writer the Chicago Tribune takes part in it
 follows: Every mile north of the Americ' line, or latitude 49, increases the chanc of early and late frosts destroying t
 crops; and every mile west of the R !. River and Lake Winnipeg decreases t
 rainfall in the growing season and
 creases the drought afiiction. Thus as t ]. Manitoba farmer goes northward he
 creases the chance of having his ere . nipped and ruined by frost, and as he g west the rainfall decreases and droue
 kills the crops on which he depends fol
 living. These are the reasons the outI
 of wheat, oats and barley west and no
 of Winnipeg has been so small and dis
 pointing. British Columbia has compa
 lively little anable land and it has produ
 little or no surplus farm products thus
