An Epidemic of Regulation.

1t is not absolutely certain that the
world is enjoying as broad civiliza-
tiou as some of the liberals believe.
The tendency of man to encroach upon
his neigh boris rights is yet distinctly
visible in all departments of human
action. 1t would be interesting to
know lust how many bills seeking to
control conduct have been introduced
in the several legislative bodies of the
country this winter. The annual
law crop of the entire coun-
try would be simply appal-
ing. Nearly half a century ago.
says the ST. Louis Republic, "aerbert
Spencer began writing about the futil-
ity of legislation to regulate human af-
duct With fine scorn he pointed to
the vain efforts of kings and parlia=
ments to make people and things con-
form to their sovereign wills. He
showed that statute books were monu-
ments of disappointments and blunders.
Laws to promote morality produced i'm
morality: laws to help labor crushed it;
laws to assure prosperity brought dis
aster. The fate of a Thousand laws
placed on the statute books has been to
be cursed and repealed as a blunder.' -
1t would be difficult to disprove
from history the assertion of Spencer.
'Instead of one king or parliament to
supply or laws, continues the Republic,
''we American people, who boast the
! leadership of civilization, have a big
central law mill and nearly half a
hundred branches running at full blast.
In addition, each town has its own mill
| for the manufacture of its favorite
brand of legislation. Nor does there
seem to be much improvement over
the crude folly of the past in the
quality of the legislation. Our big
mill and all our little mills
are grinding out laws for the
promotion of prosperity aud moral ity.

chair. which you realize was what you
ought TO have done in the first place.
The most luxurious of country beds
begins by having a mattress made Of

er bed that mother gave me when l
was married and which belonged 20 her
grandmother" II smells like it. 1t has
the odor peculiar TO musty feathers and
makes you think of the dead and gone
grandmother in her tomb. On this
come new cotton sheets, quilts and
great Neutrality-suspicious. of those hor-
1-jble heavy marseilleS counterpanes.
Everything on this bed is calculated to
keep out the air.
The value of a blanket is not appre-
ciated in the country. That a blanket
should be at once light and warm and
allow circulation of the air is not IN
derstood. So, unless you want to feel
as if the weight of ages We're resting
upon you. you throw off the quilts and
the coverlid and sleep under your trav-
cling rug. After little while you re-
alize how hot that bed is. You didn't
know that feathers We're so warm. You
get up, nearly set the house on fire try
ing to light a lamp that's out of order,
and then you pull the feather bed eff
and rest your weary bones on the husks.
Before another hour has elapsed you
wish you had the feathers back. The
husks have nasty way of getting into
lunches, and the punches feel as if
they were hard sticks of wood, while
each one shoves against your most SEN
sitive bone.
Take the advice of one who knows,
and when you go TO the country pack
in with the bathtub a decent lamp and
a few other necessaries of life-that is,
of comfortable life-two pillows, a sum-
mer blanket and rather heavy but
soft travelling rug. The rug can be laid
over the husks. and fairly decent bed
will be the result.

expensive and well fitting glove is worth
the trouble of putting it on carefully,
for it will wear twice as long. In re-
moving glove skin it off quickly, turn
the fingers, put little powder in them,
smooth them neatly and place them in a
glove case. They Will keep much nicer
in this way than if tossed in 4 drawer.
Never throw old kid gloves away
They are nice to use, for they save the
hands in many Ways-for example, in
gardening and dusting-and indeed if
one moistens the hands with glycerin or
cold cream and draws on pair of easy
old gloves for an hour the hand is made
astonishingly white, smooth, soft and
flexible. Another use for old gloves is
to cut the backs for penwipers and to
keep the fingers for finger stalls.
