Charities and Correction.

Until the present century the policy
of Europe, i'll dealing with crime and
pauperism, was the best possible if the
object had been to propagate and in
crease them both. The States of the
New World necessarily copied many of
the methods of the old. Unfortunately
along with much that YVES true and wise.
they copied and perpetuated many old
bunders. But with the advance of
modern thought. especially with the
enormous widening of the sphere of
scientific knowledge. have come new and
better ways of dealing with the defec
tive, the criminal and the pauper.
The National Conference of Charities
and Correction, which meets annually in
one or other of the chief cities Of the
Nation, brings together representative
body of the people throughout the land,
whose business it is to deal with the
poor, the ignorant and the criminal, or
who are devoted as good citizens to the
work of private charity. Its object is
the introduction of enlightened methods
of graphing with the evils and misfor-
tunes of life. 1t combines the best
philanthropy of all creeds and all shades
of political opinion, upon the broad
platform of humanity. 1t does not con-
fict with any form of existing benevo-
lence, but it aims to place before the
country, by the aid of the press, such
details of practical information, with
the results of experimental altruism, as
can not but be but helpful to all.
The 10Th session of this Important Ma
tonal organization will be held in Den
yer, Col, June 23 to 80, 1892. The pres
liminary program has just been published
and extensively circulated. 1t offers an
attractive series of meetings; its topics
include many of the important social
problems of the day. 1t has standing
committees upon State Boards of Chart
ties, Reformatory Work, Kindergartens
and Childsaving, Care and Classification
of the Insane, Commitment and Deten-
tion of the Insane, Charity Organization
in Cities, The Indian Policy in It's Rela-
tions to Crime and Pauperism, The Col
ony Plan for the Feeble minded Inmi
grafton and Migration Between States,
Defensive and Preventive Measures
Against Pauperism and Crime, and the
Co operation OF Women in the Manages
ment of Charitable and Penal Institu-
tions. Each of these committees has
charge of general session of the Con
ference, and several of them will also
conduct special or sectional sessions, in
which they will discuss their subjects in
detail
The membership of this Conference is
one of it's unique features It has no
salaried officers and no selfish benefit to
offer to anyone, so it's doors are opened
to all the world; whosoever will may
come in, on footing of the most perfect
equality. The fact that you are inter-
ested in it's work, makes you member,
and entities you TO seat and voice in
its discussions. Anyone desiring further
particulars as to reduced railroad fare
hotel accommodations, ETC., may address
Alexander johnson, Secretary, Indian
apolis, Ind who will send circulars anc

The Supreme Court of Appeals of Vir-
ginia has decided that city council
cannot exempt railroad property, in the
corporate limits, from taxation. The
city council of West Point had exempted
the Richmond Terminal Company's
tracks, etc, from town taxes. DR..
Whiting, on the part of the people, ems
tered action to compel the city to collect
taxes, as off of other property. The case
was taken to the Supreme Court, with a
decision against the railroad. 1t affects
all the cities of the State.

having inherited it from her father.
There is not single instance in it's his

after it's USE or where the animal was
mad, when the stone refused to adhere
to the wound. It is of limestone for1na-

should ever be made for the use of the

oddities About Rnts.

Rats are natives of Asia, and their raids
westward belong to comparative modern
times. From the fact that it is not mem
toned by any of the early Europeans it is
surInised that it was unknown west of
the Ganges in ancient times The black
rat first came from Asia to Europe in the
sixteenth century-along with the plague
and was first known as the ''Gravevard
Specter," because he preyed on the flesh
of those who died during that awful visit
alton. He was also known as the plague
Cat" because the common house cat had
a similar habit of feasting on the dead.
This black rat was the common house rat
until the brown or gray rat made his ap-
Europe from India by way of Russia
and is now popularity known as the Nor
way rat, from mistaken tradition that it
came from Norway to England, and from
the latter country to Amorica,
