It is undoubtedly true that treat
ment 81 this kind is too often used to
Impose and prey upon the.creduloua
public. but the remedy lies in, speci-
DC legislation or Dy invoking the
prot ction pf the law pertaining to
obtaining money by fraud and under
false pretense.

sion for. an, rxa minatiOD concerning
any form IL treatment which does

the person applying for it is qualified

A drug or medicine or the surgeons

death rather than a means ::of health
in the hands3of an Incompetent or
unskilled practitioner; but 1ot such
danger can possibly arise in the

here. While 1t may be Of no benefit.
it certainly can result In no injury:
and the necessity for the license on
the ground of public safety does not
exist. A. IN

The evidence Of the police court,
where the healer was fret exam

What Is Public Opinion?

1t is obvious that there are tw>
kinds of public opinion, says E. L..
Godkin in the Atlantic One is the
popular belief in the fitness CT right
ness of something, which Mr. Balfour
calls "climate,' belief that certain
lines of conduct should be followed, or
a certain belief held, by good citizens,
or right thinking persons. Such a be-
lief does not impose any duty on any
body beyond outward conformity 70
the received standards. The one
am now talking Of is the public opin-
ion, or consensus of opinion, among
large bodies of persons, which acts as
political force, imposing on those in
authority certain enactments, or GER
tain lines of policy. The first of these
does not change, and is not seriously
modified in much less than fifty years.
The second is being necessarily modi-
fed by the events Of the day.

The Present Scope of Government.

An entertaining, and at the same
time instructive, sketch in the At
lantic is that by Professor Eugene
Wambaugh on the Present Scope Of
Government He shows how every
citizen is unconsciously encompassed
and controlled by government, from
the rising of the sun unto the going
down Of the same, and afterwards
even in his sleep. Many of the in
stances are cases caused by modern
Inventions; but the general increase Of
such functions is strikingly shown to
have been rapid and regular for the
past hundred years. The particulars
are many and entertaining. Profess
scr Wambaugh expects such increase
to continue hereafter, but gives his
reasons for believing all will go we'll,
and that upon examination no one
can reasonably fail to gain new re-
spect for popular institutions AMI new
hope for the next century.

Yukon in the search for gold, and has
diverted the attention of many others.
But in order to get there it is necessary
that man should be possessed Of the
best OF health, strong powers of endu-
rance and considerable means. He
leaves his wife and his family for a con-
siderable period, and the hardships he
has to endure are all unknown to him.
Canada has other gold fields, though.
They are the fields that produce her
golden grain. This year the crop Of
Manitoba, lying directly north of North
Dakota, yielded 21,000,000 bushels of
wheat alone. The current price aver
ages 76 cents, which, as local paper
puts it, makes the product in gold this
year, for wheat alone, equal to value
of $15,960,000." Twenty thousand farm
ers did this, or an average to each pro-
Queer Of about $685.
but these same farmers are not liv-
ing by wheat alone. This is only one
source Of revenue to them out of many.
They have also beef, butter, potatoes.
oats, barley and poultry to sell, and
sometimes other things, SO that it may
be fairly estimated that their incomes
will average at least 81 900 per farmer.
Thus Manitoba's fields have yielded

and general population Of about 200,-
O0O.''
After counting the cost Of stamp
mills, expenses Of men, etc, rich as is
the Klondike, such vast wealth as is be-
ing taken out Of the soil in raising
wheat in this one province, cannot pos
sibly be secured in any mining district.
OF course mining development assists
agricultural development, and that Is
why the Government of Canada feels
so much assurance in predicting pros
perity to all who take up farms in Can
ada. Western Canada today promises
more than any other known field that is
open to immigration. Farms of 100
acres, capable Of producing the best
No. hard wheat, yielding thirty to for
ty bushels to the acre, are given away
free. Railways, markets, schools,
churches-all are convenient The
Canadian form of government is one Of
the most liberal known, and hearty
welcome is given to settlers OF all ma
tionalities. Already there are many set
tiers gone in from the states, and the
reports from them are highly favorable

homestead laws, low transportation
rates, etc., will have pamphlets, ETC.,

ment OF the Interior, Ottawa, c: tc any

HOUSEHOLD SANITATION.
Some of the Thing That Wives and
Mothers Should Know,

Mothers Should Know.
Where does household sanitation be-
gin? asks the American Kitchen Mag
azine. In the cellar or in the attic?
In the front door yard or in the fam
lily we'll? 1t begins in the mind of
the woman who is the mistress of the
house. She may be the wife of a la
boring man, Or she may have what we
call higher education, and know all
about the strata CT the rocks from the
Alps to the Rocky mountains, and yet
not be aware that her house stands on
site SO damp that it keeps the in
mates in a bath of invisible vapor that
is steadily sapping their vital forces,
or that there may be an accumulation
OF vegetable debris in the cellar that
is breeding millions of microbes every
hour and sending them up through ey
cry crack and Granny, to prey upon
their human victims. You say it is
the mans business to take care of all
that. 1t may be his duty to hire a
man to lay drain, or clean out the
cellar, but the woman must spur him
on to do his duty, for it is she who
stays at home and must bear these i'll
effects perpetually. If you do not be-
lieve that these vapors and carnations
can rise through floors and walls and
carpets, open a bottle of ether or boil
few onions in your cellar and then
go to your attic. Your sense of smell

are more of them that are beneficent
