whole of this period, say down to 1910,
nearly all of the food Of the world had TO
be grown within few miles of its place
of consumption. For more than $50
years of our history nearly all of the in
habitants of the State were farmers, and
lived in the country or in the small viii
lagos. There were no cities, however,
and no town was so densely populated
TINT every well-tO-do man did not till
some ground or raise some live stock.
We had eminent professional men: the
lawyers and the cleTgymen of Connech-
cut have made n history well known to
the world, and they all titled some
ground and were in sympathy with
country life. There were no "classes"
then, and the lawyer could talk intelli-
gently about the best soil for rye; the
clergyman knew what crops best suited
the soil of his region; the merchant
knew the merits of the mich COW, and
the news editor would grow merry over
"hen laws" This meeting on common
ground was an enormous advantage to
the population. The farmer surely
gained by contact with the country pro
fessiOnal man and, on the other hand,
such wOeful exhibitions of ignorance OF
country life by lawyers, editors and other
city people as are now common could
not now exist"
Our readers will notice that this is
Huite in line with the opinions frequent
ly expressed in these columns in regard
to the former relations between the
farmers and the professional classes,
which secured a unit of intere't This
unity has now measurably disappeared,
and farmers are practically left to look
out for themselves, with those who used
to be their hopeful friends occupying an
Indifferent or antagonistic position.

maintain their rights or they will lose
them.-Dr, HOSkins IN IYdtchmdn.

Exit from the Senate of the United
State, after the third of March next, John
J. ingalls, Of Kansas, brainy, brilliant.
audacious, and enter one Pfeifer, the
editor of small Kansas farmers paper,
unknown to fame, whose sole claim to
distinction is the authorship of book
advocating the widest of the Alliance
schemes. This one of the most extraOr-
binary mutations in modern politics.
Senator Ingalls's eclipse is not Temporal
ry; it is permanent. Kansas retires to
private life her best-known citizen, who
has been one of the most conspicuous
figures in the Senate Chamber, and who
has sat in the seat of the Vice President.
The episode is not without its lessons.
There is of course the craze of the Farm
ers' Alliance, which Is the prime cause
of this change. But aside from that, the
closing occurrences OF Mr.. Ingalls's pub
lie life suggest warning which may not
be without profit, at least to politicians
who arc not too old to learn. There is
something very degrading when man
sells himself, even though he receives in
hand the cash, or the office, or whatever
represents the consideration involved.
But when man sells himself, and is
cheated out of his price, there is n GER
tain flavor of irony to the affair which
makes it peculiarly impressive. This
has been the kind of transaction which
has taken place in Kansas. Mr.. Ingalls,
has manifested a painful willingness to
swallow his convictions and to sun ender
his political principles if only he might
so trim his sails to the Alliance breeze
as TO be borne to his desired haven of
another Senatorial term. He made up
his mind good while ago that In poll
tics, the ten commandments and what
ever else stands for moral convictions are
but an ''iridescent dream" and whether
lie was satisfied with this discovery or
not, he has shaped his course in accord
ance with it. His last utterance in the
Senate, before he left for Topeka, was as
distinct bid for the votes of Kansas
farmers as If the Senatorship were up at
open auction and were to be disposed Of
under the hammer. 1t is wise old say
ing that the net is not spread openly in
the sight Of any bird. This is principle
which had escaped Mr.. Ingalls's notice.
It is not apparent that Mr.. Ingalls, CAMEL
n single vote by that performance. When
he comes to review his career in the
calm and leisure of his retirement he will
perceive that the transaction did not pay.
Senator Ingalls, impresses us as man
who has sacrificed great opportunities
and exceptionally brilliant powers to an
unworthy notion that, to win success,
any means are justified. The lesson of
his career seems to us to be that, merely
from the low level Of political expedi-
ency, allegiance to higher standards Of
conduct is by no means the damaging
thing which it seems 10 be considered by
a certain school of politicians. Boston

NtGLEcTEp TEETH

Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the necessity of taking care of the teeth
in childhood. The milk teeth prepare
the foundation for the permanent teeth.
If they decay too early before it is the
proper time for the permanent teeth
to mature, there is no proper
preparation Of the jaw for these final
teeth. As soon as tic slightest decay
makes its appearance in u child's teeth,
no matter how young it is, it should be
taken to dentist and n filling OF cement
to arrest the decay should be put in the
tooth. In this way if the teeth are
watched, they will remain in the Jaw un-
til the roots are entirely absorbed, and
they can be literally taken out with the
fingers without pain and with hardly any
bleeding. The permanent teeth IN such
a case will come in sound and firm. An
other reason for keeping the teeth filled
is to protect the child from dangerous
diseases that are known to be contracted
from this cause. 1t has Ieen proved
that diphtheritic sore Threats of the most
dangerOug kinds have been traced to'de-
caying teeth.
70 keep the health sound it is essential
that the food we eat and the air we
breathe SlOulu nOU NC contaminated Win
impurities. If the decay of the teeth is
doubly so, and it is necessary to the per-
feet health of an adult or child that they
be kept cleansed thoroughly at least once
a day, taking special care to remove
everything that clings between the teeth.
There are various kinds of improved
tOoth-brushes nowadays, in use. which
are preferred by many people to the old
fashioned bristle brushes. A toOthwash
of half q teaspOonful of tincture of myrrh
mixed with half glass of water is an
excellent thing for hardening the gums.
At least once week the teeth should
be brushed with pure white CASTLE soap
and water. This destroys effectually all
animalculR. If soap is used too often,
however, it is said to turn the enamel
yellow. If tartar is collected on the
teeth it can only be removed with pow
dered pumace stone applied on damp
cned linen cloth wrapped over wooden
toothpick. Use a very coarse piece of
white silk dipped in pumicc stone to
clean between the teeth. An excellent
tooth powder is made of equal parts of
powdered pumice stone, powdered orris
root and pulverized charcoal.

A WAY tn DEAL wIru TRAMP.

1t is suggested that this country might
protitably adopt the German method Of
dealing with tramps. This plan, which
was first adopted at Williamsburg eight
years ago and has since spread in all di
rections, consists simply in setting thC
tramp at work and paying him for wha
he docs, deducting the cost of his foOt
and lodging from the wages. The pay il
small, but still the man has something t.
carry away with him, and the results il
promoting spirit of industry and sell
helpfulness are said to be amazing
Tramps have fairly disappeared from the
face of the earth.
This is apparently an adaptation of the
scheme put in operation by Count Rum
ford in Bavaria a century ago and recent
ly referred to. The plan adopted in this
country when work is tried usually stops
with compelling the tramp to pay for his
entertainment, and the advantage of the
extension is obvious. Paying wages
puts the man at once among working
men, and even getting him there invol
UNFAIRLY seems to have good results
One great obstacle to any reform of the
sort in this country, however, is the diff.
Guilty in enforcing law. TO get the
best effect it would be necessary to have
similar laws in all the States and to keen
such grip on the tramps that they got
no opportunity to beg, for just as Ger.
tainly as they did that many people
would give them foOd.-Herdld.

NEW EN0LAND AeR1OULrUnE.

At the recent meeting OF the Connect
cut Board of Agriculture that very prac.
teal scientist, Prof. w. II. Brewer, gave
an address on "rhe Past and Future OF
Connecticut Agriculture" which applies
to all Of New England as well. OF the
agriculture Of his State, early in the cei-
fury, he says:
''The present depression in Connect
cut is not as severe or as distressing as
in some OF the newer States, and agri.
culture will revive here even before II
does in the newer States like Kansas and
Dakota. The depression is not local,
but extends over the whole of Christen
dom and has its sources in economic and
social laws rather than in Legislation or
polical movements. The early history
of Connecticut agriculture is intensely
interesting, and no other part of the
whole world was settled by the immigra-

SISTER ROSE GERrRUDE's nnAsov.

SlNTEk ROSE GEkIkUDE'S REASON.
The ground was divided into three
parts: one for suspects is, per-
sons whom the doctors are not sure hav-
ing the disease-oue for lepers under Dr.
Lntz's treatment, and the third for the
persons brought in for examination, and
the unfortuuates waiting to be shipped
to Molokai. The Board of health vested
the entire control of the hospital, apart
from the medical and surgical work, in
their agent, who also acts as sort of
policeman to catch the lepers, and bring
up for examination He in his turn gave
over the authority to the LUNA sort
of general overseer-oue of the lepnr
patients, man of no education, who
confessed himself that before he "got
the disease he was fond OF drinking and
often "had the devil" This OveTsecr
retained all the keys of communication
until the day | left, even of the suspect
side which he Udght not to have entered,
as he was Il confirmed lcper.
Space would fail were | to tell OF all
that took place during those six evcntful
months In that time some of the
patients, formerly pronounced lcpcrs,
were cured; the condition of all WITS
amcliorated, and hope sprang high in
the hearts of these hitherto dcspairing
people. Then came time when. in sew
eral instances, the doctors wishes and
mine were put aside: some Of our
patients were made to work by the Luna
in an utterly unfit condition: one. in
decd, who had had strong fever, was
so thrown back that lie nearly lost his
life. Lastly, we learn from the patients
that the Luna and the agent had been
spo king against the doctor and myself,
trying TO prejudice the people and do us
harm. We complained to the Board of
= Health, as the matter became more
serious; they seemed unwilling to take
any steps in the matter. A native gentle
man, representative of the people in the
Legislative Assembly, took up the mat.
ter and brought it before the House. A
= committee from the House visited the
hospital three days, and took down vol
luminous evidence which was printed in
a report They found that the Luna
was unworthy of his office, and should
be Immediately removed, as also the
agent of the Board of Health. This was
not done. The president of the Board OF
Health was removed from his office.
For some unaccouutable reason of theil
own they upheld the Luna and the agent,
and there was nothing left but for the
! doctor and myself to resign, it being
impossible to work any longer under the
then existing circumstances. And so,
with an aching heart, we left the people,
: with all the more sorrow that their lives
had been SO bright with hope before, as
one of them said in his speech before the
committee of the Legislative Assembly,
There never has been such doctor be-
fore in these islands; there never has
been a woman who has cared so for the
lepers. "-LddieS' Home journal.
