AGE OF CRIMINALITY.
when Criminal Responsibility of
Children BeEins I'm the DIFF
ferent Countries.

With reference to New York's special
police court for childish offenders, it is
noteworthy that both British and
American law fix the same age Of Grim
inality. In defiance of theology the
legal codes of all nations regard man
as sinless by birth. Before attaining a
certain age he is regarded as incapable
of crime.
& In England and America this age is
seven years, and before this child
cannot be prosecuted. After his sew
enth birthday a child is accountable
for it's deeds, but if under Ia the pros
ecution must show that he was acting
with criminal intent. The same age Of
criminality is held in Russia and Portu-
gal. In France and Belgium child
must be eight years old before being
prosecuted. In Italy and Spain fur
Their year of grace, islaccorded.
In Norway, Greece. Austria. Den
mark. Holland and Switzerland, says
the London Chronicle, the age is ten.
The little German can play pranks with
impunity until 12 years old, while in
Sweden no prosecution is allowed
when the offender is un1er16.

CREATING "A WATERFALL.
Been Accomplished at
Niagara.

When the waters of the Niagara
river were made to flow over turbines
to give electric power and light to the
city of Buffalo it was considered a
great revolutionary feat of engineer
ing, says an account Of 1.-THE Greatest
of Power Dams" in Leslie's Month
~ But at Niagara the dam and the
fall were there from the beginning.
The power was ready in the rough
it had only to be applied to the ma
chinery. When, however, it was pro-
posed to utilize the speed and force
of the Hudson river and to turn them
into the power that lights towns, runs
street railways and vitalizes factory
plants the problem was different
one. The river was there, bnt the
fall had to be created, and to do this
it would be necessary to build one
of the largest dams ever constructed,
wall, in fact, 1,460 feet long and 154
feet high, at certain points. No such
barrier. great or small, had ever been
placed across river of volume and
flow equal to that of the Hudson just
above Glens Falls, n. Y, yet this ha~
now been. successfully accomplished.

PREVENTION OF ADENoIDs.
DisagreeabIe AGection Of the Az
Passage Resulting from Free
quent Colds.

The word adenoids, although still
strange to so.,,e ears, is the term ac-
cePted By M aysieians to define y
very common obstruction insthat part
Of the air-passage lying behind the
nose and above the palate.
1t is a chronic condition, produced
by an a-erabundant growth ct the
tissue normally occurring in this lo-
cation. Therefore, while it Isl, strict
ly speaking, a tumor, it is not malig-
nant, says Youths Companion. 1t
is dangerous only so far as it pro-
duces obstruction to proper breath
ing through the nose, and so causes
Notwithstanding, and by the frequen-
cy with which it stands as the cause
of ear disorders in childhood, such
as frequently repeated earachc. deaf
ness and purnlent discharges from
the ears.
Prevention of adenoids, in so far
as it may be accomplished, is inapor~
tant, because OF the consequences
which may result from them. Re-
peated colds" measles. scarlet fever
and diphtheria are the common condi-
tions which favor the occurrence Of
adenoids
The probability of the Developments
of adenoid; is perhaps the strongest
argument for trying to prevent the
occurrence of frequent "colds in the
head" These are. as a rule, regard
ed too lightly and too much as mat
ter of course. The means employed.
to prevent colds in the head in child
hood must be varied according to the
needs of the individual. The child
shonld early be taught to blow the
nose thoroughly. The secretions IN
cidentto colds in the head, il allowed
to clog the nasal passages, act di-
rectly to produce adenoids.
In the cases OF weak and delicats
children, tonic remedies should be
employed to shorten the durAtion
and assist in overcoming the bad ef-
fects of colds. The same care and
treatment should DE carried out with
all children after attacks Of the acute
diseases of childhood.
Tt is not possible to refer to thu
prevention OF this disorder without
repeating the advice so frequcntly
given by physicians. to "get childrsA
out in the air" To this end, chill
dren should be provided with cloth
ing which fits them for all kinds ~
weather. Proper protection can BE-
provided for every variety ofAclimHt6
and of weather, and children especial1
ly should be so provided. OF all things
that assist in the proper developmen6
of the structures Of the nose ana
throat, and are most useful in pre-
venting diseased conditions. an album
dance Of pure air is the most inroxs
tant.

GOOD WESTERN ENGLISH.
Only Part of the United States That
Gives the "R' Its Real
Value.

That which the rest of the country
accepts as the standard of correct pro-
nunciation, though seldom attaining
it, characterizes the speech of the ma
jority of the people of the west. The
west is the only section that does not
badly misuuse r., says Leslie's Weekly.
1t is perhaps Incorrect to say the
east and south misuse R. They hardly
use. it at all. In the east and many
parts Of the south II is, in effect, an
auxiliary vowel except at the begin
ming of words. 1t merely lengthens the
preceding vowel. Occasionally it re-
ceives distinct vowel sound, that of
italian A.
In many parts of the south it is not
heard at all. While the Georgian says
"befeah,'' his Alabama neighbors say
"befo','' deposing r from its position
Ms vowel, or vowel modifier.
In the west r is sounded with an ap-
proximat ton of correctness. Yet even
the westerners do not give it its full
value, as do the Irish and Scotch. Their
strong enllIciation Of the letter sounds
harsh to Us, yet the lei.eris int ended to
be pronounced and its use differenti-
ates words able TO be confused by the
ear.
The Anglo-Saxon seems to be doing
his best to depose r. Were it not for
the influence of the. Irish and Scotch,
r would not be little more than writ
ten letter, as silent as init ial I'll in Span
is h.

arraigned before Judge Shipman on
charge of inhaman cruelty.
The complaint was made by neigh
bors. Beers is so years old His
wife is more than 20 years his junior.
1t is ale ged that for the last three

STEERING. to which he objected, would
not be disturbed.
Complaint was finally made by
neighbors to Oversee of the Poor
Huff, of Franklin township. He
found the old man bruised from head
to foot. the result of beating he
received, it is said, at the hands OF
Gordon. The barn in which Beers
was chained had only half roof and
he might almost as well have been
out in the open. The chain was fas-
tened around Beers body and neck
in such manner that he was com
PEELED to crawl along the floor to
reach the food left for him. Some
farmers living near the Beers place
found him in the barn and released
him. Then there was talk of form
ing a whitecap party, but calmer
counsel prevailed and the case was
left for the authorities.
When Beers was chained in the
barn Gordon is alleged to have paint
ed the farmers face green. Gordon
is said to have admitted this and
considered it joke.

WOMEN's CLUBS THRIVE.
Pessimists Say They Are q Fad. But
They Go On Increasing in
Numbers.

The latest edition of the official de
rectory OF the wo1nan's clubs OF Chi.
cago shows that the pessimists who
say that women's clubs are fad, and
that they die soon after they are Gre
ated because Of the members being
extremely tickle in their allegiance to
their clubs, are entirely and totally
wrong, says the Chicago Tribune.
There have been four editions OF
the official directory. The first one
printed, which covered the years 1890
1900, reveals that there were Sc clubs
at that time. The next years dl-
rectory shows that the number Of
clubs had leaped to 112. Then the
pessimist would naturally expect that
the directory of the following year
would indicate slump back to some
thing like the number Of clubs given
in the first directory. But the book
for the year 1oo1-1902 reports 81 clubs
In existence, and the new directory
for the year 1902-1o03 gives the names
of 95 clubs.
A comparison of the book just is
sued with the one first published
shows that almost all the clubs given
in the first volume are alive and pros
porous. The biggest change was be-
tween the years 1900 and 1901 and 1901
and 1902. when thesnumber OF clubs
slumped from IL to 81. An examina-
ton of the directories Of these dates
will show that few of the clubs actual
ly died, but after the phenomenal
jump from Sc to 112 it was found that
many of the clubs could do better by
merging under one name.

Ernest Sanderson Is doubtless of the
opinion by now that the road of the
tr%ansgressor is exceedingly stoney.
After being discharged from the charge
of petit larceny, preferred by Tom
Smith, he was Immediately arrested
upon the. complaint of Ed. Wright,
who was short about 1913 as a result
of Sanderson's populations. The sec
ond trial was held before Justice Nc
F'arland yesterday afternoon. and at
its conclusion the court requested
Ernest to dig up forty dollars, and,
the defendant not having that amount
of ready collateral about his person,
was compelled to accompany Johnny
Lyons up To the house surrounded by
the high board fence. S~anderson made
quite a number of friends when he
came 10 this city. and as he was an
insurance man of more than average
ability. undoubtedly would have had
a successful career here had he not
allowed his felonious procliyities to
get the better OF him.
