forgotten something or neglected some
important opportunities.
There are many things about any
farm and garden that pig will make

know that hens will eat most OF the
kitchen waste. and the weeds can be
turned into fertilizer in compost heap n.

PROFANITY DECREASING.
Marked Subsistence Reported From
the City of Brotherly Love.

Philadelphia Press: The revival Of
prosecutions in the states of New
York and New Jersey directed against
those who use profane language has
called attention to the fact that in the
city of brotherly love. there has been
a very great decrease of profanity SO
keen an observer as Professor Robert
Ellis Thompson, president of the Boys
Central high school, a. student of
sociological phenomena, and therefore
an interested investigator, is authority
for the statement that since the civil
war no indication of the city's moral
growth is more pronounced than the
subsistence of profanity on the streets
The report that DR.. Thompson had
made such a study of the subject or
profanity that he was able to give
statistics was laughingly dismissed by
him when called upon by a Press re-
porter at his Gorgas Lane home
But" he explained, II have on sew
eral occasions stated that L am con-
WINGED that profanity is much less now
than it ever was. | came to the city
in 81, when mules performed the serV-
ice that horses, electricity and steam
now perform. The old Pennsylvania
railroad station stood then where the
Bingham house stands now. Then it
was a byword on the streets that a
at. And how they did curse in those
times? When a drayman met a dray-
man there was a. flow of profanity I'M
til they parted.
To-day people meet or even come
into collision on the streets, and there
may be angry words. but there is lit
tie profanity very little compared with
what there would have been 40 years
ago. Many causes have contributed to
f.
fairs. To my mind the most potent
factor was the religious revival in this
city in '5S and SO carried on by GUM
ness of Ireland. Mr.. Guinness was a
man of attractive personality, scholar
ly attachments and captivating speech.
He came to this city as member of
the established church of Ireland and
received a welcome in many churches.
The people were touched by his
words and the moral life OF the city
was improved. He made no SPECIFIC
effort against profanity but from the
time he visited the country have
noticed gradual decrease. OF course
there have been many other causes,
religious societies and the spread Of
education and the like"
Professor Thompson also said that,
while he was not familiar with the old
laws on profanity, he knew that some
existed in this state and in almost
every state of the union. For, said
he, while it may not be the province
of law to take cognizance of the moral
aspect of profanity, it must be re-
membered that he who uses Drofane
language in public places invades the
rights of others who may be shocked
to hear it. and in that respect the law
may interpose and fine him who uses
profanity on the streets"

"One day Peter was working the
