No Gain in Ten Years.

Major II. Il. Henderson, formerly super
intendent of police, calls attention to the
fact that in his annual report for 1891
he compla ined of the numerical inferiority
of the Minneapolis police force and urged
that it be increased to $50.
At that time the number of men in the
organiza ton, all told, was just what 1t
is to-day, viz, 225. In 1891 Minneap-
oils had a population of 16400o, now
it has 225,ooo. Twelve years ago, as shown
by Major Henderson them the police force
was too small. Yet the force is still no
larger and the population of the city has
increased 40 per cent. s-
Of the 225 members of the force, only
16O are patrolmen, actually engaged ir
protective work, and Of these again. only
eighty are on duty at a time: Each pa
trolman, therefore must look after about
three -fourths Of a. square mile Of the
city's area and the safety of the life anc
property of 2,S0O people. This Is not as
good service as a country town of 2.S0t
would have, and yet a city is always II
need of greater proportionate, protection.
In most of the large cities of the coun'
try there is an average Of one officer te
every $50 or 700 people. Here we have
only one officer to a Thousand, and that
too in city whose population is scat
tered over a large area. ,1't% -
The time has, come when we must have
| a larger number of .patromen. Many more

ing the list Of officers, detectives in
spectors and various routine duty men
who now number about sixty-fve.

MILLIONAIRE HOUSEHOLDS AND THEIR DO.
MEsT1C ECONOMY. With Hints Upon Fine
Living. BY Mary Elzabetk Carter. + New
York: D. Appleton & Co.; Price $1.54, includ-
ing postage. @ +ESs gEs~ D. -. -
Although most of the readers of this
book may not be millionaires> they can
get some very excellent suggestions in
domestic economy from its contents.
Some ;millonaires are not given to ex-
travagance in household expenditures
and while not -penurious consider good
housekeeping as among the fine arts. The
same knowledge of housekeeping which
enables the mother of a family in affluent
circumstances to conduct successfully a
large establishment, is necessary for the
successful conduct of lesser establish
ment. The author of this book suggests
the thoughtful study of the division Of Ia
Dor in a. house as the first essential and
this attained, superintendent of a home
becomes easy. other things being equal,
and if the real rights of servants are re-
garded. The author interestingly lays
down the code for hostess, experimenting
housekaeper, house and parlor maids,
aundress, butler aid staff, general utility
man, the chef and assistants. She also
discourses interestingly of the Smart
Set" at dinner and closes with an admir-
able chapter on Ideal Living which
cannot be said to have been attained, but
is possible when housekeeping ana nome
keeping are infused thruout their man.
agement; with a, spirit which is, the in
spiration of ideals. But evidently ideals
differ so widely that no rule can govern
them. The Smart Set" ideal dinner
party must always be a1ohorrent to set
which doesn't claim to be superlatively
smart The author has a tender place IN
her heart for tired and overworked ser
wants and certainly expresses it very
plainly, while she handles the votaries, OF
Vanity Fair. Even the valet and linen
room ard cedar-room receive careful at
tenton, and the chapter devoted to the
chef reveals the most. Important lndl-
Nidual in the mlilonair ire household.

! This book, thru the form Of a journal
kept by a young man who had high liter
any ambition and wrote as he thought for
the delectation of the generation present
and those which are to come, details the
disappointing experiences of the youth
with publishers who could not be induced
to print his manuscripts. The closing en-
tries in the journal suggest that, like
Chatterton, he took his own life. Those
last entries are somewhat hysterical. His
remarks about the publishers are not very
complimentary. Stirling thought them al,
evasive. sorry lot of sordjd fellows. and.
as for authors he, goes wild over their ex-
.peIiences. s"I tell you that the author

Stirling's privations are depressing and at

is settled. He seems to. have died on

This volume contains the third series
of short sermons by DR.. Hepworth. which
have appeared in, the New York Herald
each Sunday morning until his death. DR..
HepWcrth, in these sermons. does not
bother the reader with firstly, secondly.
thirdly and fourthly and subdivisions, but
goes directly into his subject with no cir
cumlocution, and sticks directly to his
point. The perspicuity, brevity and
catholicity of his style, his insistence
upon the vital Importance Of substituting
for the self-centered life the God-centered
life, command at once the attention Of
the sreader. The sermons were prepared
for busy people to make them think of
things beyond their own contra Ned hor-
>zon and get in touch with Cod and live
higher lives. DR.. Hepworth knew that
beneath the surface of each life there are
half-smothered aspirations and longings
of weary souls and hesseeks to help them

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN .

For the week ending Monday, July 6,
1908.
The weather during the past week
was extremely favorable both for the
rapid growth of crops and for the ad-
vancement of farm work; many CORE
spondents state that conditions were
the most beneficial experienced so far
this season. The week was character
lied by continuous sunshine, great
warmth, and a general absence Of pre-
cipitation until near the close of the
week, when very light showers occurr-
ed at many places which were benefi-
cial. The mean temperature for the
state was so degrees, or about 6 de-
greeS above the normal; the week was,
in fact, the first with temperatures
above the normal since the latter part
of May. Maximum temperatures above
80 degrees occurred nearly everywhere
on every day Of the week. Under ia
vorable conditions for work, much grass
and many weeds were killed, ploying
progressed well, and in most sections
crops were placed in an excellent state
of cultivation. The two circumstances

cellent filth, caused a marked improve
ment in crops generally, and perhaps
with a continuation Of favorable wealth
er the very backward condition of most
crops may yet be largely overcome.
Cotton improAed considerably, and
has now begun to grow rapidly; lice
are still reported in places, but most of
them have disappeared; while still gras-
sy in several counties, the work OF
placing the crop in good cultivation is
advancing favorably; cotton blooms are
reported in several southern counties
Brunswick, Columbus, Scotland, An
| son and also Edgecombe. Corn looks
| very green and thrifty; laying by has
nearly been completed n the east, while
| much Of the crop S being laid by rather
small in the west; forward corn is COM
ing into silk and tassel. Tobacco has
also improved, but late set appears tC

week. Apples are still dropping to some
