that in practice these rules will have
little value. Now and then some no.
torious alien may be halted on the way
to citizenship, but for the majority of
aliens the road will be clear. What is
everybody's business is nobody's busi-
ness and on this principle few citizens
will step up with bills of objection The
court itself should see whether the cam
didate for naturalization is fit to be-
come an American citizen, and 1t should
grant papers to no alien who cannot
make his fitness clear beyond all rea-
sonable doubt. In this way only can
the problem be solved in such a man.

EATING TOO MUCH,
From Leslie's Weekly.

From LeSlie'S Weekly.
1t is cited as one of the explanations of
DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depews remarka BILE
youthfulness and vigor and ability to do
so many things without weariness 10
himself or others that he is a scientific
eater; that he knows just what to put
into his stomach and how much of it to
take. The menu at the SWEETEST banquet
may fairly elisten with the richest prizes
of the chef, but DIR. Depew gives one
swift glance down it's mystifying nomen-
clature, and selecting one-probably the
plainest of the lot-says, THAT" And
when the others have gorged and stuffed,
and feel like Chris tmas-tree cornucopias,
the doctor is az fresh as a summer girl,
and his stomach as easy as that of the
prize-baby who was brought up on Cupid S
Infant Food.
Much criticism has lately been directed
against our American hotel bill-of- fare
by foreign visitors, especially those who
came over last fall and winter and went
back home and wrote about their exper-
fences. They found too much on the list
too much sameness, too much that was
not attractive. They objected to the
necessity of selecting what they needed
and in that they have the sympathy of
all good Americans, for the average bill
of-fare is a test of human patience; but
II is better to have too much than too lit
tie. And it is especially not fair to gauge
the American appetite by what is on the
hotel bill-of-fare. The citizen from the
country who went through the items
seriatim, and afterwards complained that
it would have been all right If he had
stopped at the watermelon and ice-cream
was not the average American.
o
The people of this country each much
because they have much 10 eat. The for
eigners complain that the habit of eating
an American breakfast Is suicidal and un-
refined, but it so happens that the man
who can eat the American breakfast has
no need of doctors, and he Is the factor
who has made this country what it is
The very fact that we have been able to
evolve from the broken-down and dys-
peptic and secondhand material sent tc
these shores fl ON the other side a race OF
superior people, with women more beau
tful than the world had hitherto known
with men who have done more things
than any in the worlds history, and have
been able to build up a nation greater
than any other on earth, is pretty gooo
proof that If Americans eat too much
they eat the right sort of food.

In one of the counties in Alabama
where homcides. assaults and lynch
ings are frequent it is explained that
there has been but one legal execution
in thirty-five years. If the courts thus
fail in their duty can we wonder that
the people do not care to entrust the
administration of Justice to them?

Europe. Hotel rates have gone up, car
riages cost more, shopping has become
more expensive, servants expect larger
tips-and all because the modest European
scale of living has seemed small and mean
TO our countrymen. There is a sort of
furtlVe apology for economy on the part
OF an American to which European is a
stranger. No one in Europe IL in the
seast ashamed of acknowledging small
income or avowing the necessity of saw
ing pennies. We hear a great deal about
the cheapness of things abroad, and trav-
elers who know the ropes really can ac-
complish a good deal at a low cost. But
this is because the European idea is to
help you save. The American idea is to
help you spend. Therein lies all the diff
ference. No wonder that Europeans re-
gard with some bitterness the changed
conditions which Americans have helped
to bring about.
There are of course even in America
those who carry economy to an extreme.
Perhaps this failing is more conspicuous
here in New England, where pennies are
not despised, than in such free-and-easy
communities as Kansas City. New Eng
landers are tolerant toward 1t, calling
the man who is miserly not mean but
| near" And ''nearness" has its unpleas-
ant and even repulsive aspects. 1t is not,
| however likely to become a national vice.
The general tendency is quite the other
way. We are inclined to establish too
| luxurious scales of living, to pay more
| for what we buy than 1t is worth; to
| hang the expense so long as our desires
are gratifed. Such a spirit can hardly
| fail to have a bad effect, to justify ex-
| penditures which are unjustifabie, to
make paying five cents for what ought to
| cost one a matter of pride. Not so is the
| way to real prosperity.

duty and curiosity nailed me to the
spot. From the shadow of the cypress

neither to the right nor to the left,
walking as a man walks when he has
his goal in sight. I waited, thinking
hard; then 1 returned to the house.

Sunlight Destroys Bacteria.

In view of the destructive effect Of
sunlight, especially of the blue to the
ultraviolet rays, upon bacteria in
water, Prof. H. Marshall Ward would
explain the comparative freedom of
river waters under the blazing hot sum-
mer sun from bacteria, as against the
more abundant infection of the same
waters in winter. Pasteur and Miguel
found that the germs floating in the air
are, for the most part, dead-killed, the
author holds, by the sun. Yeasts which
normally vegetate on the exterior of
ripening grapes are destroyed, accord
ing to Martinaud, if the heat be very
intense; and Guinti has observed that
the ingress of sunlight hinders acetic
fermentation. When the typhoid bacil-
lus falls into torpid, dirty water in sum-
mer, it finds a congenial propagating
place. The dirt furnishes it food, abb
serbs heat to increase the warmth, and
keeps off the hostile blue and violet rays.
