THE police and educational authori-
ties Of Chicago think that an iustitu-
ton for the caro- and training of incor-
rigiblc children who are not criminals
should be provided il that city, and a
movement is on foot TO establish II
school for such waits. 1t is from this
class that the great army of criminals
is recruited, and every state in the
union should take cognIzance of the
fact and try to make good citizens OF
tho homeless and maynard children OF
he streets.

SHORTER LIFE FOR LAMPS.

Incandescent lights Now Run at a
Higher Tension.
New York Commercial-Adyert A
short life and merry one is to be the
guiding principle of the new order of
lamp manufacture. At one time an in
candescent lamp cost so much that it
was made to last as long as possible,
even if it had to be run at much below
it's nominal candle power. Now, lamps
are cheap, and people insist on having
light. A significant sign Of the tend
ency of the times is that the twenty
five-candle power lamp is daily being
put in in place of the original standard
sixteen lamp. 1t is as
sumed that when Edison adopted the
sixteen-candle power standard for his
lamp he took what was probably
very good average of the illumination
given out by fivefoot gas burners the
country over. But during the last fiji
teen years the gas standard has been
raised through improvements in manu-
facture, and whereas twenty candle
gas was once seldom seen, the larger
CLUES VI ILLS GUILTY. AOW dSS well
up to twenty-five-candle gas. The pub
lie has not been slow to see this, and
now demands unit Of light at least
equal to the prevailing standard gas
unit. The central stations, fortunately
for them, realize the situation, and the
use of high economy lamps is growing.
It is noted, too, that the time-honored
600 hours of life is not nearly so often
insisted on as formerly. Indeed, the
specific requirement now commonly
made is for lamp that will maintain
it's candle power at high economy for
from 800 to 400 hours. The introduce
ton of lamps of twenty -fve-candle
power, although already started upon,
will doubtless be gradual, as it must
naturally be accompanied by CORE
spending change in the fittings, out
cuts, wiring, etc., if applied to existing
installations.

CONDEMNED 38 COWS
State veterinary Surgeon Reduces sam.

State Veterinary Surgeon Scott made
Il destructive descent on the dairy
herd of the Hon. Samuel r. Houston
Tuesday night Some of Mr.. Hous-
toms neighbors complained that they
believed that his cows were not lust as
they should be physically and upon
this complaint DR.. Scott came here to
investigate This morning he was OBJ
liged to condemn thirty-eight of the
sixty cows kept in the herd as being
troubled with tuberculosis.
The discovery of this disease in cat
tie is Of very recent bringing about.
by the use Of tuberculjne it can bc dis
covered very readily and this sub
stance was used by Dr.. Scott.
The state has been making a strong
fight for some time on the eradication
of this disease. 1t is one which has ex-
listed from time immemorial and has
had u strong effect in spreading
pulmonary diseases among the
users of the milk of such cattle
Dr. Scott expresses the belief that .
large number of the cattle belonging tC
other farmers hereabouts have the dis

Mr.. Houston Eas not raised his hanC
in opposition to the DEGREES of DR.

Don't Be Too Critical.

Whatever you do never set up for a
critic We don't mean a newspaper
one, but in private life, in the domestic
circle, in society. 1t will not do any one
any good, and it will do you harm-if
you mind being called disagreeable. If
you don't like any ones nose, or object
to any ones chin, don't put your feel
ings into words. If any ones
manners don't please you remember
your own. People are not all made to
suit one taste; recollect that. Take
things as you find them, unless you can
alter them. Even dinner, after it is
swallowed, cannot be made any better.
Continual fault-fnding, continual criti-
cism of the conduct of this one, and
the speech of that one, the dress of the
other and the opinions Of t'other, Will
make home the unhappiest place under
the sun. If you are never pleased with
any one, no one will ever be pleased
with you. And, if it is known that
you are hard to suit, few will take
pains to suit you.

She Takes Another Fall.

Mrs. VIM. Thurman took an involun-
tary plunge in the Wishkah last night
about s 80, while returning to her home
on Wisnkah street. She had been attend
ing the trial OF her husband during the
day, charged with stealing fish net, and
was no doubt so cngrossed in the thought
Of being separated from her beloved
spouse for an indefinite time that she did
not realize hei danger. The plunge was
made between the old Aberdeen Hotel
and Wishkah street, and she was picked
up in an unconscious condition opposite
the llERALD's recent quarters. She was
given Il vigorous rolling and shaking for
about an hour, which relieved her of Il
large amount OF salt water and numerous
other things. when she rcgaincd con-
sciouaness, and IN few minutes after
was apparently as well as usual. 1t
is stated by several who saw her early in
the evening that she was not intoxicated,
but when picked up she held in one
hand with Il "dcath grip Il tin pail
which had been filled with beer in a
nearby saloon a few minutes before she
fell off the wharf.

witnesses, but only examined three Of
them, taking up the time Of the count
with lot of silly objections and maud

appear before the superior court, and in

county Jail this morning. This fellow is
costing the county more than any other
ten men in it, and this time he should be
put where he conll not get back again
