Interfering with Nature.

Many years ago when a certain we'll
known citizen was young man in his
honeymoon he was the hero of a most
dislike to his curly hair. 1t was SO
dreadfully kinky and snarly that il
wof'a~1 har. When it was combed it
curled up tight, wien 1t was brushed
1t curled up tighter. She worried and
fused over it for long time, but il
continued to twist up.
One day they received an invitation
to attend gathering at the home Of
some neighbors.
Il don't see how you can go with
those ridiculous curls," said the young
wife.
Might leave my head at home in q
bandbox," said the husband.
STOP said the wife. Il have a
scheme"
On the day of the party she produced
solution of sugar and water and care.
fully soaked his head. Then she comb
ed his hair and was delighted to find
that 1t hung quite straight.
There" she said, now you look ever
so much less like a Hottentot."
So they went to the party, and as II
was a summer day the men took chairs
and sat out on the lawn under a big
tree.
All was going nicely, when suddenly
the young wife heard cry of distress
from her husband. She looked across
the lawn and saw that he was on his
feet wildly jumping about and clawing
at his ears. Yes he was swearing, too
swearing dreadfully.
Of course, the wife ran to him, and
when she got near enough she saw
what was the trouble. His head was
plentifully besprinkled with flying
creatures-flies and gnats and bees
and lowering just above his sugar-and-
watery locks were a half dozen wasps.
He fought the attacking party off
finally, AMI then under pretense of bath
ing his bites he washed out the sacchar-
inc mixture. Thereafter his curls were
not tempered with.-Cleveland Plain

In an address to the Municipal
Judges association of Connecticut
Judge Simeon e. Baldwin advocated
the revival of the whipping posi-. Judge
Baldwin is an ex-President of the
American Bar Association, distin-
guished writer on legal topics, and a
juriSt of the highest repute. He be-
lieves that the science of penology has
been refined beyond the point of use
fulness, and that IN retaining only
hanging and Imprisonment as punish
ments for crime the deterrent effect of
punishment has lost much force. Evil
IDENTIFY Judge Baldwin is not in SYM
pathy with those who believe in turn
ming the penitentiaries into hospitals
for the persuasive correction of crimi-
nal tendencies. 1t Is what he says about
the reformatory power of the whip
with the young, however, that is of
chief interest. He contends that many
young men and boys would have been
spared a criminal career and ayerted
from ultimate capital punishment had
the law permitted the Judges who pass
ed upon their first offenseS to apply the
punishment in the form of ten or TWEEN
tv lashes of the whip. Undoubtedly
this would be the result in some cases,
but others of more physical courage
would prefer the whip to term in
prison or the reformatory. The prob
lem of penology is not so much to make
the punishment fit the crime as it is to
make it fit the individual.

The Defective CInsses.

Thirteen out of every 10000 people
in the United States are in prison, and
II of the same number are insane.
The sexes show an equal per cent of
insanity, but females form a small per-
centage of the prison population.
Nineteen out of every 10000 white per-
sons are deranged, while only nine out
of 10000 colored people are SO affict-
ed. OF our native whites fourteen out
of every 10000 are crazy, while among
the foreigners the proportion is thirty
nine. No attempt is made to show the
causes which make so many foreigners
go mad. The tendency to insanity is
greatest among the Irish and least
among the British and Germans. Fiji
teen out of 10000 people are idiots,
and here again the colored people show
a less per cent. The tendency to lido
cy appears to be greatest among those
of Hungarian stock and least among
those of Italian origin. Seven out of
every 10000 people are deaf and dumb
and eight are blind. In idiocy, deaf
ness and blindness the sexes are divid-
ed in this proportion: Males, 55 per
cent; females, 45 per cent.

Fernow and his ideas the Railroad Ga.

to leave his friends ant remain away

1t is a striking feature of our lcgisla-
ton that majority vote in Congress
may begin a war, while q tTo-thirds
vote is required to end it. a decara-
ton of war by Congress is like an or
binary legislative enactment. TO au-
thorize it, the two houses must act con
currently, and it must receive the ap-
prevail of the President The formal
conclusion of war. however, is reached
only by a peace treaty, which, like
other treaties, must be negotiated by
the President and approved by a two
thirds vote in the Senate. This is much
more difficult to accomplish than it is
to get majority vote in each house. At
first glance it looks as If the founders
of the republic intended to make il
easier for the nation to declare war
than to withdraw from one; to begin
trouble than to end it. They evidently
believed that in internationrA r~ss.eio,,-
''.sse csseeoS would act rs Il unit--that
party lines would disappear-an the
tWo-thirds requirement would serve as
q salutary conservative measure. 1t
has come to pass, however, that treaties
submitted to the Senate are looked
upon as the acts of administrations
that are in power, and because of this
have been supported, with few excep.
tons, by Senators of the dominant
party, and opposed by the political op-
ponents. 1t rarely happens that any
party has two-thirds majority in the
Senate. In consequence. it is usually
so difficult to secure ratification that
the Senate has not inaptly been termed
the graveyard of treaties" The mum
Der that have failed to find approval is
large.

The reasoy for this laxity on the part
of justice is doubtless found in the fact

tiers into negotiations to purchase coun-
terfeit money to pass on his neighbors,
