The Kansas legislature will try the ef- feet of dress on the state convicts. Only the most coriigiblc convlcts will be com pelled to wear stripes. while those who promise reformation will be clothed in dark and grey colors. according to their state of advancement. This action of Kansas is a recognition of the9effect of dress on the mind. Good clothes have a good moral effect. A well-dressed man has a certain self-confidence that even high intellectual attachments will not give without the clothes. Every man should be a college graduate and should dress well, if for no other reason than for the feeling of self-confidence

In New Hampshire it is against the law to do any sort of work on Sunday, but if a farmer sees a cloud coming up he will stay away from church to save his hay. He is never arrested, for his neighbors know that they may some time be called on to save their hay. It is public opin- ion that enforces a law. The southern moonshner works his still with impunity. His neighbor never informs on him be- cause the law is being yiolated-the in- former is always governed by some such motive as jealousy or revenge

George M. Pullman took the medal at the Prague exposition offered for the model town. The town of Pullman may have model streets, water, sanitation. etc., but it lacks one essential of an ideal town, namely, ownership of homes The houses are all owned by the Pullman Car company and the employees of the company are mere tenants at will.
