Iunasy InsreasIng in England.


 Lunacj shows an alarming growth in Engiapd. Statistics just published give 7o5,086 as the total of certified lunatics, an increase of 3.114 over the preceding year. This is the greatest annual in- crease recorded by over 1000. The rate Of recovery also shows backward movement, from 38.81 per cent to 36.ST. Agricultural laborers provide the larg- est proportion of lunatics, attributable to low standard of life and the use of strong, cheap Indian teas. Clerks furnish the next greatest proportion of lunatics. Here also hard. wearing, un- derpaid work and insufficient food is f1fa leading cause It is contended that 7he Increase in lunacy is more appar- ed than real. and is due chiefly to the ]aW regulating the notification of lu- uafics, but experts agree that the stress znz aodern life is the prime factor in =S5F FSj k1ng lunacy.

Content With the Sentence.

Waverly Magazine: Your worship
said the willy solicitor, who was de-
Tending the stalwart prisoner in the
dock, you cannot possibly convict my
client of housebreaking. 1 submit,
sir, with all Difference, that neither
morally o legally can you convict
him. i will tell you why.
"Mr. Skies, here, as the evidence
clearly proves, did not break into any
house at all. lie found the parlor win
dow open, as the witnesses admit, and
all he did was to put in his right arm
and remove some unimportant ar
ticles. Now, sir, Mr.. Skies arm is not
he himself, and l fail to see how you
can punish the whole individual for
an otfense committed by only one Of
his limbs"
Very well, sir" said the cautious
Solomon of the bench, Il have heard
of a similar defense before today, so
1 find the prisoners arm guilty, and
sentence it to six months imprison-
ment. The gentleman himself can ac-
company it or not, as he chooses, Mr..

Then Mr.. Skies smiled a fourteen

Tense became apparent, as he quietly
proceeded to unscrew his guilty cork
arm and leave it in the custody of the
court.

J. STERLING MORTON ON TRUSTS
Some of the blessings Of CONNER
ciaI Combines Pointed Ont.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-The Civic federation,
which is arranging for a conference on
trusts to be held in this city September
10, has been notified by the governors of
many states of the appointment Of dele
gates to represent their states.
Among other letters is one from Hon. ].
Sterling Morton, Of Nebraska, In which
he says:
"Forty-ive years ago l came to Ne
braska. 1t was then more than 300 miles
from any point within it's boundary to
any railroad. Capital was individual.
There was no corporation anywhere with
in the limits of the territory. There were
very few corporations In Iowa or Mis-
souri,.
The first corn planted on the farm
where / lived in 1855 and have lived ever
since was dropped by hand covered with
hoes. So was the second crop. But the
man will the hoe has been dropped. The
village blacksmith, who made hoes, has
been crushed out by the cruel COMPETE
ton of combined capital. There are today
10000, 900 acres planted to corn in Ne
braska. 1t promises a yield Of thirty
bushels to the acre. This will make an
average of 800, 000,0 900 bushels for the state.
If the hoe and the man with the hoe, who

never been supplanted by the double
rowed cornplanter and tillage,
crushed out by double-roWed cultiVators,
such a breadth of corn would have been
an impossibility: Combinations OF capital
made the c~ornplanters, made cultivators,
crushed out the village blacksmith and
relegated the man with the hoe TO ever
lasting fnutility.
But the great multitude Of mouths
which consume food made from corn gel
this food at a less price than they ever
did before n for 4 very small per cent.
of what the use Of corn food would have
been at this time If 1t had continued to
be planted and cultivated by a man with
q hoe.
These samples are illustrative Of the
fact that all these great combinations OF
capital, while they nay put out of en-
ployment a vast number Of travelling men
and others differently employed, they also
reduce competitive waste. The travelling
men and all their expenses have been
paid invariably by the consumers of the
goods which they sold. The entire ad.
yancement and Improvement Of the in
dustrial world are marked by the wrecks
and ruins of individuals, but Illuminated
and glorified by the advantages they have
given to the multitude"

MARS AT o RANGE.
How That Planet Looks When SO,
100000 Miles Away.

st. Nicholas: All the monster
glasses with which the late rapid adj
vance has been made in knowledge Of
nj celestial neighbors have come into
being since the civil war. Until then,
in this country, the Harvard telescope
of fifteen inches was the largest.
About 1860 one of eighteen and a half
Inches was ordered for the university
in Evanston, Ill. 1t is only since 1870
that really huge instruments have
multiplied and are nightly turned
upon the starry skies to ask the ques-
tions which seem to our impatience so
slowly answered. But many answers
have come, after all, and some things
are clear which before could only be
surmised. For instance, we feel quite
sure o that Mars has an atmos-
phere, though not more than half as
dense as our own; but far better than
none, as we can tell by looking at our
bright though dead and desolated
moon, from which air and water have
long since disappeared. And If Mars
has air, the polar caps alone would
seem to show that he has also ice and
snow; and there appear to be, as well,
areas of water or marsh, though less
In extent than the land. The north
ern hemisphere looks brighter
through the telescope, even showing
fints of red and yellow, which astrono.
mers are inclined to think are chiefly
dry land, probably desert; while the
southern is dark, the seas" brown or
dull gray, quite as water might APP
pear. These spots were first called
cans lilo NhA 40 xa~s.. "a 4Ln
moon, and the name continues In both,
whatever they may be.
In 1877 Mars was at his nearest to
us; near, that is, from an astronomers
point of view, though really at the
enormous distance of $4,000, 900 miles.
Yet a great deal was learned about
this neighbor in the sky-among 9th.
er things that he is attended by two
tiny satellites or moons never seen
before. And the same year an Ital.
Ian astronomer, Mr.. Schiaparelli (pro-
nounced skeea-pa-rel-ly), made careful
studies n drawings Of the strange
markings on Mars, completing with
the fine telescope at Milan a series of
elaborate sketches afterward com.
bined into an accurate detail map.
Again in 1892 and 1894 the earth and
Mars came near each other in their
flight through space, though some.
what farther than during the year
1877. And within the last few months
we have been once more in a good po.
sition to observe each other. But we
are favorably placed because only un.
der these conditions can we see the
north pole of Mars, and so much
more is known about his south pole
that there is of course a strong at.
traction in the mysterious north re.
gions. Only at this great distance is
the north pole g~raciously tilted to.
ward us, so he has been constantly
watched this spring, and so he will be
again in a little over two years. Eight
years, however, will pass before the
Marian south pole can again be stud
led to good advantage; in September
of 1909, too, all obesrvatories will be
on the eager lookout for news from
this fascinating planet.

A Road TO Fortune.

Philadelphia Record: The oft quoted
saying of II. +. Barnum that the road
to fortune is through printers ink is
undoubtedly true in its application to
mercantile enterprises. Naturally the
tradesman of today requires staple
goods, business ability and the re-
spect of the community in order to
achieve success; but the use of print
ers' ink in the way of advertisements
in an influential newspaper is also alb
solutely necessary. If the advertise
ments be elegant, lively and pictur-
esque in expression all the better.
People like to be entertained even by
an advertisement, and when the mer-
chant once interests them in his bust
ness announcements he is sure also
TO receive their patronage.

A BABE WHO LOVES TO SMOKE.
Paul McCabe Consumes Tobacco

a cigar is put in his chubby little
hands and soon the weed finds it's
place in the youthful mouth, and Paul

The first thing in the morning ON
awakening Paul cries for his cigar,
and his cheroot brings him comfort
Just before he drops off TO sleep. In
between times he takes a Whit at his
pipe, though the little man declares
he prefers the cigar, and only smokes
his pipe when papa does"
Paul's pernicious habit does not
seem in any way to have injured his
health. He is unusually large and ro-
bust for a little fellow of his age, ac-
tive and intelligent. In other ways he
is much like other children. with the
only exception that he Is not fond OF
sweets of any kind.

of his words in helpful baby fashion.
