that arrangement OF its intricate and

THE EcoNoMIC auAck

A quack is defined as zone who
pretends to skill or knowledge which
he does not possess" Usually applied
to medical charlatans, it equally well
fits men in every other branch of hui
man activity. because in all of them
are men who talk without wisdom"
Law, religion and science are not with
out them, and the handicrafts contain
and support them. In the law he is
called pettifogger and shyster,
defined by Chief Justice Ryan as Ga
clown among lawyers and a lawyer
among clowns" Sometimes he Is un-
consciously a. quack, oftener deliber-
ately one, who knows and trades on
the credulity of the uniformed, the
unwfse, those who do not know. The
unconscious quack is one who has
that dangerous thing" 'snttIe
knowledge" and thinks he has it all;
and out Of his little concocts remedies
medicinal. political. economic, or con-
structs theories scientific. He is the
most dangerous Of his kind, for he is
sincere and there is always strength
In mere sincerity.
Society has made, in defense.
vigorous fight against the quack. 1t
has hedged about the entrances into
the learned professions 80 az to keep
him out. The law has jealously
guarded its admission gates save at
the times when the reformer got In
his work and reduced codes to such
a state Of simplicity that all that was
asked Of the applicants for admission
to the bar was that he be of good
Haefal character. The simplicity Of
codes was found ia be eamplezity it,

sal aHaeHa of geed neral character.

A GREAT CHANCE.

There is set forth in another col
great opportunity which it offers to
the public to obtain free transporta-
ton and free admission to the Mime
sofa state fair. The exhibitions of our
IL extent and interest from year to
year. until fair week has become the
great event of the Northwest. This is
far more than a state exhibition 1t is
really great annual exposition of
the resources and products of our
splendid Northwest. and it offers to all
visitors a week of such enjoyment and
instruction as nothing short of a great
international worlds fair can give
With the increasing desire of our
people to. enjoy this display, it af-
fords US great pleasure to enlarge
the opportunities, through enlisting
their services In our own behalf AS
will be seen, by consulting the terms
of the great offer made elsewhere,
any one who sends in sis for
new cash subscriptions for any edition
of the flo b e before Aug 81 can
get to the fair, remain a week and re-
turn to his home without a dollar of
expense except for his meals and lodg-
ings while here. The G | b will fur
nish free transportation both ways
and six free admissions to the fair
In order that no one may be shut
out, we have made graduated scale,
by which persons sending in smaller
amounts viii be correspondfngly re-
warded. From the first premium down
to a. cash subscription of $3.50, for
which one admission ticket will be
supplied, every one who chooses to
avail himself of this offer will be fit
ting1y compensated. We want every
body to go to the state fair, and we
would rather that they were admit
ted on G 10 b e tickets than in any
other way. By little work for the
greatest newspaper of the Northwest
you may see the greatest show of the
Northwest. 1t is a grand chance and
we hope that nobody will miss it,

~ DIETARY STUDIES.

II may not be generally known that
the department of agriculture is max
ing an extended investigation into the
food-habits of the people of various 10
calities of this country for the purpose
Of learning the food-fallacies of diff
ferent sections and of teaching the
uses of food, the values of the several
nutriments and their proper combina-
ton and how to make the most Of
available food resources. The various
bulletins upon the subject are for sale
at a nominal price by the superinten-
dent of documents at Washington.
The expansion of life in every direc-
ton and the immense increase in the
wear and tear of existence during the
last twenty years has made 1t not only
desirable but necessary that the bust
ness of eating, which has always been
regarded as an art, should also be stud
led as science. The great major
ity Of people, even of intelligent peo-
pie. feed themselves blindly, with no
reference whatever to their real dietary
needs. A man who would recognize
that the stocking of an engine must be
done upon scientific principles does not
know the difference between protein
and carbohydrates, nor the proportion
of each demanded by an average or
ganization
The present interest in dietary stud
les seems to promise a much needed
reformation, whose results will be even
happier in the sphere of the mind than
Of the body. We are all an
xious to extort the utmost pos
sible from life, making it yield
up it's ultimate interests and de-
lights, and a sound mind in a sound
body has long been a recognized pre-
scription for happiness; but a knowl
edge of the intimate connection be-
tween these desirable conditions and
the daily menu has been slow In com
Ing, and an intelligent determination TO
run our physical mechanism in the
most healthful and economical way Is
less widespread than, let us hope. It
will be five years hence. A recent writ
er upon dietary subjects quoted Isaiah.
asking: Wherefore do you spend
money for that which is not bread
and your labor for that which salts
fieth not?" and the verse is one which
with all reverence, housewives might
well write, as reminder, above their
daily marketing lists.

that form of wild denunciation that is
the outward evidence of hysterical
condition
We are glad to see that Senator
Wolcott is recovering his mental bal
ance; for certainly he will have to adj
corps Of emotional performers in the
United States senate for good many
years past. If Mr.. Wolcott's party
had declared for the free coinage of
silver, or If, like his associate, Mr..
Teller, he did not regard his party
standing as of more Importance than
his financial views, he would be just
as hysterical today as the rest OF
them. No one can forget that there
have been few more impassioned or
historical speeches delivered in
the senate on the silver question than
those originating with the Junior SEN
ator from Colorado. 1t has not es-
capped memory what part he took III
resisting the repeal of the Sherman
act, or how he has urged, in season
and out of season. the very considera-
ton which he now, not inaptly, char
acterizes as hysterical
1t is personally more comfortable
for Mr.. Wolcott of course, to seek
way Of escape by holding up to ridi-
cule and opprobrium the balance of
the Chicago platform. What he says
about it is true enough; but it is con-
sistent whole. The other planks fit in
with and supplement the free coinage
plank perfectly. One is as hysterica1
as the other. We can readily imagine
that the disturbed business interests of
Colorado, which has been a sort of
storm center for this silver agitation
for so long, must clamor for cessation
and return of cool reason. We are
glad If Mr.. Wolcott has got over his
fit of Mysteries; but he should not be
allowed to forget that there are few
men upon whom rests a larger share
Of responsibility than upon him for
the hysterical wave that swept over
the country with the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan, but has already begun to
subsfde.

They Have Taken Front Rank in Edu-

To the Editor: Nothing is more IN
dicative of the spirit and influence of a
school than the after work OF IT'S pu-
pills, and it is a cause of pride and graf
ificatiom TO all those who are interested
in the growth and prosperity -of ST.
Mary's to know of the successful work
of st. Mary's girls in different lines all
over the country. Only a few weeks

girls. some of whom had left st.

assisting by their presence and coop

ing to others the benefit of the lnfiu-
ence and line of study which have been
such factors in the formation OF their
own characters, have founded schools
of their own in different States, ana
snch women as Miss Phelps, the well
known principal of the English ana

and Miss Clement, of Germantown,
Tenn, are glad to enroll themselves
among the dIuDlitte OA ~ Mol %
Many of the graduates are taking high
err courses of study at Cornell. ut Vas
sar. at Wellesley and at Radcl fife. All
these girls have done earnest and eff
fective work, and one of them, partic-
ularlv. has achieved brilliant esults
at Vassar. This desire for further adj
vancement is true of all the pupils in
all departments. The music pupils OF
st. Mary's have studied successfully On
Boston, at the New England COnserva-
tory, in New York, in Berlin and in
Leipsic. The art pupils have add tional
courses in different American studies,
and this year one of the St. Mary's
girls, whose illustrative work has been
accepted by the best of our monthly
magazines, goes to Paris for a long
series in the Paris studios. Each year
the alumnae association of the school
grows stronger, and the members of
the association hope in the future, by
a stronger union and more concentra-
ted effort, to become even more pow
erful factor in the growth of St.
Mary's.
