Enective soap.

The children's toboggan slide is
quite an institution in a certain nur-

owners.
The other day the children discoy-
cred new joy in the ironing board.
They placed it fiat upon the floor.
Then they sinuggled piece of soap
from the bathroom and soaped the
board well from end to end. 1t made
a famous slide.
The three boys and the girl, who is
the widest boy of the four, gave
themselves plenty of room to run,
and the board was long enough to
make good slide.
One after the other then ran. The
chase grew exciting. Finally Alice,
taking her turn, came with rush
down the hall and across the board.
The impetus was too much. Her
heels flew up and she came down

Golden Truths.

These are golden truths of De-
mocracy from the second inaugural
of Hon. Horace Boies, of Iowa:
i cannot avoid the conclusion that
we legislate too much.
There are certain natural rights
which every man possesses, and GER
tain obligations which he as a mem
Der of society owes to the public.
1t is clearly within the province
of the Legislature to enact laws for
the protection of the former and
the enforcement of the latter.
Beyond this in statutes that are
designed to regulate the conduct of
men it is, | believe, generally nm
wise to go.
II is safe to say the wisdom of
man has never yet been sufficient
to enable him to devise practicable
means for the enforcement of strict
ly moral obligations.
So long as the conduct of men is
restrained within the limits that ad-
NIT of no encroachment upon the
rights of others it should be left to
the regulation of their own consei-
ence and to the control of laws that
emanate from a Wisdom superior to
our own.
But under such a definition the
field of legitimate Legislative action.
is not restricted within narrow
bounds.
To be able to guard with Jealous
care the rights of one class with
out encroaching upon those of
another requires the exercise Of
wisdom not vouchsafed to man.
To Judge correctly between the
natural rights of the citizen and his
obligations as such to that organ
lied society that protects him in
these demands comprehension of.
each more accurate than mortals
always possess.
Get these really 1by heart and
you will never go far wrong in poll
tics unless you do it deliberately
and with malice aforethougbt.

pretty compliment indeed. The fol-

somewhat grotesque in its termina-

Does This Law. Promote suicideg

IF it is true that figures do not lie.
the penal canon in this state against
self slaughter promotes instead of
preventing suicide. In 1881 there
were 166 cases reported in New York
city, while in 1890 the number was
239. Each year during the interval
shows am increase over the previous
one. The only advantage of the law
is that it reduces the risk of failure.

well in an off year as West Virginia
did in 1890 The State came within
l34 votes of casting as large a vote
as she did in the Presidential cleo

unprecedented in political history
where there was no Presidential or
