Reform, and Human Nature.

Occasionally events crystalline so
that the reformer can come into power
through an extraordinary reyulsion OF
the people against their masters, but
this reyulsiOn has to be produced by
events rather than words, says the
Political Science Quarterly. y few
men of the dominant party sent to
prison will 90 more TO cause a revul-
sion Of feeling than all the arguments
or newspaper exposes in the world.
The reformer may then get his innings,
and IL he makes some effort TO under
stand the human nature that perVades
the greatest part Of the city population
he may remain longer than brief sea
son, but the odds are against i. fer a
long time still TO come, for the refOrmer
is as yet constitutionally unable to fol
Tow up the detail necessary for political
popularity and success. He relies on
ideas, not on men. He does not realize
that the majority of citizens still live
in worsd OF personalities, not of prin-
ciples.

The GIennerR.

The old custom Of cleaning in the
harvest fields, which recalls the BID
lical story of Ruth and Naomi, is not
obsolete in England, and in Hertford-
shire. Bedfordshire and the neighbor-
ing counties, us soon as the wheat is
gathered in the late days of August,
there may be seen IN the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by one the
scattered ears and forming them into
neat little sheaves which they carry in
their hands until large enough to be
bound up When the daylight fails, all
the booty is bound up in cloths and
carried home on the heads of the
cleaners At home they thrash 1t out
by hand and sell the grain or use 1t for
their chickens. The gathering of n
half peck is usually full days work
for a child, and often a woman spends
q whole day in gathering very little
more. Cleaning, however, is looked
upon somewhat In the light of a picnic
The mother and children leave home in
the morning, take with them food for
the day and stay out in the fields until
nightfall.
