The political broth in Pennsylvania is
evidently being stirred with a crooked
stick, from the confused condition of

Combiners and Senator Quay and his
followers. The Governor has been hang.

when the Beaver statesman shall decide
to enter the arena to even the honors it
will be a new experience for Keystone

Judge Lynch, emboldened by his recent
successes, has now taken to wholesale
work in the West, and on Tuesday night
8 large gang of disguised men forcibly
entered the Jail at Versailles. Ind, and
mobbed five men, who had been a terror
to the residents of Ripley county. They
first shot the men and then dragged them
out OF the Jail and hanged them to a tree.
These frequent lynchings reveal a state
of society that cannot be contemplated
without serious concern. If such lawless
acts are the outgrowth of the slow pro-
cess Of law and the frequent failure of
the courts to provide adequate protection
of life and property by conviction and
punishment of malefsctors, it is time a
change was i~naugurated, for such doings
menace the very foundations of our social
order. .

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.

Il WORD TO THE FOOLISH.

When we read that gold is stacked up in the ISlondike as farmers stack wheat and that a miner digs so much in one day that he has to get three or four other miners to help him carry it we realize that there is some gold there. And when we read the advertisements
 of the numerous companies that have already been formed to take advantage of the Klondike boom we realize that there are shrewd people who know how to get gold without digging for it. Those who are tempted to invest in
 l<londike mining schemes should bear in mind the fact that if they are allow ed to get anything out of them they will be as lucky as the few who are lucky enough to strike it rich' in prospecting there. There are few more permanent investments" than mining schemes. Alaska Is long way off, and assess ments can be conveniently and numer- ously levied on those who put their money in hole in the ground there. It is highly probable that Klondike mining stocks will be as disappointing as most other mining stocks have been. Of course if one can pick out the thim- ble that has the pea under it he will win. But men who have little money sit down and ask themselves whether 1t is likely that they understand the game or have the skill to successfully play it.

A UNITED FAMILY.

The value attached by the poor, and even by those who are not in the depths of poverty, to decent surroundings Ill family life, Is a very variable quantity. Decent lodging is not by any means universally regarded as one of the prime necessaries of life. Occasionally 1t is relegat5d to quite a back seat
 An instance was given before the Commission of a family of seven per sons--father, mother, two grown-up sons, and three grown-up daughters all living in one room. With them this arrangement was a matter of choice, not necessity, for they earned between them about E7 a week. more than e350 a year-and even from slum landlord they could no doubt have afforded to rent another room or two Having screwed down the item of rent to an irreducihle minimum, they de- termined to have a thoroughly good time, and this is how the witness de- scribes their proceedings: Tn the evening they would all go out to the music halls and to the theatres. on Saturday afternoon they would take five tickets each for some omnibus ar conveyance that was going into the country, and on Sunday they would go to Brighton and to other places, ~-- North American Review.

GOOD ANTHROpOrHAGI.

It appears that the anthropophagi is not surprising when we consider how long the great and good Nero was under a cloud and how persistently other friends and benefactors of the human race have been misrepresented. It is Dr. Flinders Petrie, the eminent Psychologist, who comes to the defense of the cannibals, and he makes out so good a case for them that it seems doubtful that they have needed mis- sionaries (exeept as food) as much as it has been supposed that they have needed them
 People must be judged by the mo- tives that influence them, and accord ing to Dr. Petrie when we classify the motives of cannibalism that are re- corded, we find that in more than half the races mental motives prevail, and in rather less than half the physical motives of hunger or pleasure. We may roughly classify the motives thus Honor. kindness, good, love. ,. 20 per cent For strength or magic results. .19 per cent As ceremony. .............10 10 per cent. As a punishment. ............ D per cent From hunger and need of food. IS per cent From preference as food. ...... .2S per cent
 The higher motives of honor and kindness prevail mostly in Asia, Aus tralia and South America but seem to be unknown in Polynesia, North America and Africa. The Tibetans considered it glorious burial for their honored elders to be eaten; some Aus tralians also eat the dead with the greatest and most solemn honor, and the Tupi and Capanahuas in South America did likewise. Besides ths it is often matter of kindness and love for the dead. The Cucumas of South America said that ''it was better to be inside friend than to be swal- lowed up by the cold earth'' Such seems to have been the main senti- ment in that quarter of the world, as it appears again among the Botocudos, Tapuyas, Mayoruna, Mundrucu and Guyanis.
 In Central Australia the Yulugundis have a still more touching feeling when lovers are parted by death the survivor insures that they shall be united, in death if not in life, by con- suming part of the dead. In Asia also We find the Samoyeds and Ostaks say ing that the elders will have a better future if eaten. and a tribe of the Gonds near the source of the Nerbud- dah eat those who are fatally i'll or aged as "an act of kindness" It is

Many women continue to do their hair loosely and softly about the brow, and this encourages the down droop- ing, overturned saucer shape of hat
 This shape seems to brood over the face add to it's delicacy and increase the mystery and allurement of it's shadows. Tulle hats take this shape charmingly, and it is a wonder how many plumes may be piled on without making the hat clumsy. Brilliant col -ors, except in flower trimming are all out of style for hats. Ivory white, grey, all black, and now and then all violet are the usual colors One won ders what has become of all the bril- liant hats of the earlier season which

4 RAILROAD,S RIGHT

A decision which has made some stir in England and Scotland and which will be interesting in this country has been made by the British House of Lords. It seems that at the general railroad station in Perth, Scotland, the railroad company, has hotel, and 1t wants to get all the patronage for it that it can. Other hotel proprietors want their share, and the proprietor of the British Royal hotel has been in the habit of sending a porter, wearing the badge of the hotel, to the station. The porter was forcibly expelled from the station because he insisted on wear- ing the badge, and the courts were ap- pealed to. The Scottish courts sus- tained the hotel-keeper's contention that he was entitled to have his em- ployes meet expected guests or to es- cort to the station those who were leaving his place. The railroad com pany carried the case up to the House of Lords, the highest judicial tribunal in Great Britain and there final de- cision has been given in favor of the company In announcing the decision the Lord Chancellor said am of opin- ion that the station is absolutely the | property of the railroad company, and | that the rights of the railroad company are just as absolute in the first instance as those of any other proprietor That by appeal to the appropriate tribunal
 they may be compelled to permit pas sengers and traffic under a variety of
 conditions under proper order of court
 is true; but that against their will any
 member of the public has a right to
 force himself upon the platform or into
 the booking office I cannot agree The | public has a right to go and has
 right to enter into a contract with
 them, and the railroad company may
 be compelled if they refuse either by action at the suit of the complaining
 party or by an application to the Rail- way commission. But should be sor- l ry to throw any doubt on the absolute
 right of the railroad company, in the first instance, to regulate their own traffic in their own way and to refuse
 access to their station under the cir
 cumstances stated in this case Of
 couse, it would be represented as a lu- dicrous exercise of authority to pre-
 scribe the dress in which persons may
 approach the station; but I can quite
 understand the inconvenience which
 might result to the passengers-tha is
 to say, to the public--if, apart from the
 annoyance of actual solicitation of cus-
 tom for various hotels outside, the per
 sons who rush to solicit custom should
 do it by conspicuous badges describing
 the hotel to which they belong. I do not believe that any actual inconven- fence to the public can result from the recognition of the right of the railroad company to carry on their business in their own way.
 This decision may be right, but it
 will not seem right to those whose bus
 mess is in danger of being injured by it.

It is estimated that the arid area of the United States, the area where irri- gation is needed to compensate for an insufficient rainfall, comprises nearly pne-half of the country. This area SUD- ports now about 6,0OO,OoO of people, but could be made to support, so advocates of irrigation say, at least ten times that number. How to prepare this arid area for denser settlement will be the main subject for discussion at the sixth annual session of, the National Irrigation Congress, to be held in Lin eoln, Nebraska, on September 2S, 29 and B0 next. Connected with this main question are many other correlated and important ones.
