NOT GOOD 10 LIVE ALONE.

NOT GOOD TO LIVE ALONE.
John w. Bookwalter of Ohio owns sixty
thousand acres of land in Iowa and Ne
braska. He lived on farm until he was
twenty-three years old, and he thinks that
the principle cause of discomfort among
farmers is their isolation and loneliness of
their life In order to change the situa-
ton he proposes that farm houses in the
West be built in small villages with ample
grounds; yet near enough together to en-
able the farmers and their families to see
each other frequently. The usual custom
has been for farmer to place his home
near the center of his farm, where it is
isolated from all neighbors, especially in
regions where farms are very large. In
some cases, farmers whose "quarter sec
tions" come together at four corners,
have bailt their houses near each
other and have found great ad
vantage in the plan, but as
rule the western farmer lives far from
his neighbors and seldom meets them Mr.
Bookwalter lived on farm till he was
twenty-three years old and he claims that
the principal cause of discomfort among
farmers, young and old, is the isolation
and loneliness of their life
Mr.. Bookwalter evidently believes what
he says, for he has started settlement in
Pawnee county, Nebraska, where farmers
will have their homes near each other, and
yet not at an uncomfortable distance from
the lands they cultivate. The village will
have a free circulating library, a town hall,
a store, school, and church or two, and
mechanics, such as blacksniths and car
penters, will be found to locate in the same
village. 1t will be interesting to see how
his scheme works. The theory appears to
be sound

HOW TO DEoREAsE CRIME.

DR.. F. F. Dow of Rochester, New York,
criminals which will attract attention. He
takes the ground that heredity, and the
influence of association, are largely re-
sponsible for the size of our criminal
class; and the breaking up of vicious fam
lilies is urged as the surest way to success
fully meet the evil. The community, he
says. has rights superior to the individ-
ual, and it must for its own sake, as we'll
as for that of the unfortunate class,
plunge the knife to the centre of this So
cial abscess. It must assert right to en-
ter into and break up the families known
to be vicious and criminal. He would also
have crime stamped out as health boards
stamp out small pox and other infectious
diseases-by isolation. The vicious ele-
ments of great cities are naturally at
tracted to each other, and in their union a
vast amount of crime is planned and exc
cuted. DR.. Dow would have such herding
spots of crime vigorously dealt with.
This plan is too "cruel" to find much
favor with this sentimental and sympa-
thetic age, and yet there is much to be
said in favor of it. The history of the
Jukes family showed startlipgly what one
criminal can do in the way of propagating
other criminals. If we remember right,
over four hundred criminals of various
kinds came out of that family. If old man

mad career it would have been quite say
ing. Habitual criminals are not likely to
have children who will be ornaments to So
ciety, but their right to breed their kind
has not been very seriously questioned,
except by few who are willing to run the
risk of being called eranks. The matter ii
a very difficult one to deal with, 80 difficult
that it will probably be a long time before
anything is done about it.

The house of commons has lost one of
its oldest members and one of its most
picturesque figures by the death of the
O'Gorman Mshon. The brave old Paladin

Ee might have been the father of The
present house but that his career was not
continuous. He was absent from Parlis-

o wild and adventurous life. BE followed
to some extent the fortunes of Lord Coeh-
rane in the South America republics, and

parliament in 1880. He was one of the
most influential supporters of Daniel

emancipation which eliminated in the ia

The Instructor.

Not till we meet with Love in all his beauty,
In all his solemn majesty and worth,
Can we translate the meaning of life's duty,
Which God oft writes in cipher at our birth
Not till Love comes In all his strength and ter
rOr,
Can we read others hoarts; nor till then know
wide compassion for all human error,
Or sound the quivering depths of mortal woe.
Not till we sail with him DER stormy oceans
Have we seen tempests; hidden in his hand
He holds the keys to all great emotions;
Till he unlocks them, none can understand.
Not till we walk with him on lofty mountains
Can we quite measure heights. And, oh, sad
truth!
When once we drink from his immortal foun-
tains,
We bid farewell to the light heart of youth.
Thereafter our most perfect day will borrow
dimming shadow from some dreaded night,
So great grows joy it merges into sorrow,
And evermore pain tncturcs our delight

The Freight Brakeman,s Trials.


If there is anything that will try mans
nerve it is to hear the sharp whistle for
brakes on some pitch dark rainy or snowy
night. Out from the warm caboose the
brakeman hurries, lantern in hand, climbs
to the deck of the nearest car. The wind
is blowing a gale, the running board is
covered with ice. 1t is impossible to walk,
SO down on all fours he goes, and crawls
along as he may. A gust of wind extin-
guishes the light in his lantern, SO he feels
along cautiously until he reaches the end
of the car, then catches the brake wheel
and s'sets it up'' as tightly as he can. Per-
| haps the "dog" and ratchet are 80 clogged
with ice that they do not hold. and just as
he thinks the brake is secure it slips and
around goes the wheel with suddeness
and force that, if he be not on his guard,
will probably cost him his life by throwing
him down between the cara.

backing out for the man, no matter what

The opponents of vivisection do not
have much to complain of in England. A
parliamentary return has just been made
of the names of all persons holding licenses
to experiment upon living animals, with
the number of experiments performed by
them. These licenses are@-oniy granted
upon the Recommendation of persons of
high scientific standing. 1t appears that
there were, during 1890, 2, 1O2 experiments
by ITO persons. In 920 cases the patient
suffered no pain, being kept in condition
of perfect anesthesia, while in s57 cases
the pain endured was only that caused by
hypodermic injection. The government
inspector reported that he had not found
single animal which seemed to be in
bodily pain. The subjects under investi-
CATION included tuberculosis, cancer, diph-
liberia, pneumonia, tetanus, rabies, circu-
lation, respiration, nerve action, the effect
of various poisons and narcotics, the de-
velopment of bacteria, etc., which certain
ly seem important enough to justify the
experiments.
