THE PROBLEM OF TO-DAY.
What Shall the State do for the
Farmer.

Nothing would help more to pro-
mote the comfort, the higher civiliza-
ton, the convenience of the farmers
than better roads. There is often a
great injustice connected with the
building OF roads and bridges. A road
which connects two populous sections
may run through a very poor town.
1t is not just that the whole burden OF
maintaining the road should lie upon
the town through which it passes So
of bridges. 1t is entirely unfair that
the Immediate locality should have to
build the bridge, to keep it in repair to
replace 1T when destroyed. Good roads,
good bridges. are State interest and
a public interest, as well as a local in
terest. 1t would be very just it the cost
of country roads were divided into
three parts, and paid by the town, the
county and the State.
The small and scattered village needs
good schools; they are needed quite as
much for the general welfare as they
are for the welfare OF the particular
locality. We establish public schools,
not SO much because they are needed
by the children, as because the inter-
ests Of the State demand that the
coming generation be educated, be
cause public ignorance is peril.
All this applies to the village, not less
than to the city, and, possibly, even
more. For it there were no public free
schools in the cities, their place would
largely be supplied by private schools,
and by free schools created by private
bounty. These things do not existln
sparsely settled country, There is need,
therefore. that the State help the coun-
try and the village schools. We are not
at all sure that it does not lie within
the province of the State to provide
lectures for the villages, lecturers both
entertaining and instructive, IN refer
ance tc agricultural, the industries,
health, drainage. ventilation. We ap-
prehend that there is the most hldeous
ignorance of what relates to santa
ton, in all our country homes.

Indian Depreciation Claims.
Just before adjournment Congress
passed an Indian Depreciation law that
will probably put s50,O00,000 in cjrcula-

restrictions and limitations, and every

full for all losses occasloned by Indians.

LIKE TO BE HUMBUGGED.
What n Woman Physician Says About th
Wants of Patients.
TO BE CONTINUED.

What a Woman Physician Says About the
Wants of Patients.
A woman physician in the city told
the Woman a most remarkable thing a
day or two ago. 1T takes a deal of
conscientiousness to keep O physician
from becoming a quack," she said.
"It's such an easy thing TO quack when
your patient wants you to. and that
because the patient wants it, it would
perhaps be beneficial in the end. BY
quacking ] mean resorting to clap-trap
and unscientific methods, such as tho
faith cure and its like. No one but n
physician has any idea how great n de-
mand there is for this among intelli-
gent people.
They don't want the honest,
straightforward exhibition of the action
of drugs on the body. They want 4
mystery about it, an exhibition of heal
ing as a divine force-something that
appeals to the imagination. And be-
cause it's subject for the imagination
the demand comes not from the ignor-
ant and unthinking. but from the most
intelligent and best-informcd people.
IL have known some OF the most
logical and cleaI-headed people in this
city to offer such resistance to scientific,
rational measures in medical treatment
and insist so strongly upon some IL
legitimate and inadequate course, as to
put the honest physicians patience TO
its last resorts.
1T isn't quite that they like to be
humbugged. They don't know it for
that, though tho physician does. They
want something for the imagination TO
work on. And that's the stronghold
of the quacll practitioner 1t takes an
honest man or woman to practice med
icine honestly. New York Sun,

The Immense Results OF Crime In Ono
family In New York.
In his curious study of the "Physi-
ology of Evil" DR.. b. w. Richardson
declares that the man oS science finds
two natural causes OF evil in mankind
hereditary and early environment
The operation of these causes is made
conspicuous in a novel investigation
carried out by Professor Dugdale of
New York, who has been able to trace
one criminal family back TO the time
of the settlement Of its first members
in America. He has found that from
this parent stock has sprung l, 200 de-
scendants. The lives of 700 of these
have been closely followed by Prof.
Dugdale. the results of the investiga-
ticn showing that not one of the 700
had escaped the contamination of evil
or its consequences. His researches
also show that the crimes of this one
family have, during the last seventy
five years cost the state of New York
81, 200. 900. Those who are born bad.
however. are not always incurable
Mr.. Isaac Ashe. president OF the Cen
trail Criminal Asylum. Dublin. Ireland,
has suggested that inherited tendencies
to crime can be treated in the young
by teaching useful occupations, which
will call into play the faculties exer-
cised in criminal acts. Thus, the child
OF clever forger may be educated
into an honest draughtsman; so may
the children of several generations OF
pickpockets be taught clever handi-
work. such as watch making or other
work requiring fingers unusually def

A watch Of Quartz.

The manager o. Chicago watch
factory has unique timepiece which
has case of transparent quartz.
The watch is not very large, is O
stem-winder. and is said to be an ex-
cellent timekeeper.
The works are built into the crystal
case and TO set the ewels in the hard
quartz required considerable ingenu-
ity. The holes were first accurately
bored, and then the crystal was held
over flame so as to enlarge the holes
with the expansive power of the heat
While in this condition the jewel was
dropped into its place. and on the
quartz cooling was firmly fixed.

why They Twinkle.

When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had killed his brother,
The stars and flowers the poets say,
Agreed with one another
To cheat the cunning tempter's art
And teach the race its duty,
By keeping on its wicked heart
Their eyes of light and beauty
A million sleepless lids, they say,
Will be at least n warning;
And so the flowers would watch by day,
The stars from eve to morning.
Alas each hour of daylight tells
A tale of shame so crushing
That some turn white as sea- bleached shells
And some are always blushing.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discovers
The traitors smile, the murderer's frown.
The lips of lying lovers
They try to shut their saddening eyes.
And in tho vain endeavor
We see them twinkling in the skies,
And so they wink forever
