Possibly the Salvation Army is an adjunct to professionalism which the Catholic church will never have to parallel However this may be. it is an inspiring sight to see church and bar and bench and public men of all most every type engaged in a close. per sonal investigation of conditions among the humblest of our toilers; and it is comforting to think that in thus crawl ing through dark passages and encoun- tering the grimy dust of the mines and looking with sharp but kindly eyes on the loWly homes of the poor, they go at the instance of the president of the United States, and in a sense with the sanction of our great government is- self

Hobby Riding.

Lord Rosebery, in his speech as chairman of the London Typographical Society, said many clever things, and among them one which will appeal to all who are compelled to give ear to the fugal chorus which is supposed to represent and express public opinion. lie said:
 "As far as I can judge from the let ters which arrive at my house every morning, the principal occupation of one-half of the human race is urging the claims of their particular hobbies on the other half of the human race. and the principle in these epistolary communications is mainly this: If you will only pay for my hobby, I will take care to ride it."
 There is a disposition to decry hobby riding as an occupation unworthy of q, man with full intellectual equipment. The man of one idea, or the man who permits one idea to become what Mr. Bryan described as the paramount is sue" of his life may be a bore ct times, and is commonly so voted by people with no ideas and no paramount issues {: but, after all, he is the man who ac- complishes most. and without his insis- ' in the particular propaganda to which he devotes himself many of the infu- ences which make for progress, and from which the human race derives an immeasurable aggregate benefit. would cease to be operative.
 The proportion of those who are capa- ble of doing more than one subject thoroughly is so small that what is called hobby riding is in fact special ization in obedience to a law which is operative in all human occupations. Generally speaking. the more one knows about any subject the more < interests him; and if it gradually as sEmes an oveTshadowing importance and fills his whole field of vision it is a satisfaction to remember that those thus concentrated are probably much better informed on one subject than they could possibly be on several sub jects.
 One important public service per formed by the riders of hobbies is their work in connection with the newspap- ar press. They are critical readers of everything which finds it's way into print, and any reference to the sub jects in which they are interested is certain to call out a great deal of illum- mating literature which could not be expected to originate from journalistic sOurces.-New York Times.

A Stiff Dose of Outdoors.

Fifteen consumptive patients in In diana have agreed to make trial of the "open air cure by sleeping all winter out of doors. As the experiment-byr no means a novel one-is made under supervision of the board of health. good medical advice is doubtless avail able to the Spartan band. In that case most of them should recover.
 The surest way to give consumption to savage tribes. among whom it is unknown, is to teach them how to build air-tight houses. The best way to cure civilized men of consumption is to get them out of their air-tight houses.
 Most business men and many labor CTS in the metropolis spend eight hours a day, six days a week, cooped in of fees or factories in er-breathed, germ-laden air. The journey home is made in closely packed cars. The evenings are spent in ill-ventilated apartments, in stining theaters, in mal- odorous saloons, in overheated restau- rants. Thus men become anaemic Many are actually killed by the want Of fresh air
 The great atprerequisites to the cure of consumption cannot be too often

Jay Cooke, the financier, was from his boyhood an enthusiastic angler. The waters of Put-in-Bay, not far from
 Sandusky, O., have often been the scne of his exploits from his earliest to his
 latest years. Concerning this harbor and it's associations with a notable event in our naval history. this little
 tale is a favorite of MT. Cooke's: An old country men entered a drug store

 with a knot in it. Well, uncle. what is

SEA ELEPHANT HIDES.

A New England sea captain named Cleveland has created a sensation by bringing home a few hides of the sea elephant, a giant seal thus far hunted for oil alone. The hides are said 10 be more flexible and tougher than those Of cattle, and a process has been in vented which produces from them a grade of leather superior to anything hitherto known The elephants have increased rapidly in numbers during the last score of years on account of their comparative immunity from slaughter. Captain Cleveland's ship is the first vessel to sail after sea ele- phant hides, and at present sine is the only vessel after the seals for any reas- on whatever.

Why the Solid South?

Some of the southern democratic pa pers keep on saying that there is no use for the republicans to try to cap ture any Of the southern states in 1904. Possibly they are right in this conjec- ture, but even if they are right. the fact will have no effect on national pol tics. The republicans have shown more than once that they can win pres idents and congresses without the aid of the south. They will probably be able to do this in 1904 and 1908. What will it avail the south to keep outside the republican party if it at the same time keeps out of connection with the forces, moral. social ard political, which are running this country and making it the biggest, greatest and most prosperous nation on the globe?- Globe Democrat.
