CULTIVATE A HOBBY.

"Since the home woman is the in.
dispensable woman, it is pity she so
often allows herself to fail in her full
development and reward" says an ed
itorial in Harper's Bazaar. "She is apt
to be so unselfish and so conscientious
that she lets the four walls of home
narrow about her, and the simplest
remedy is to have at least one out
side interest. The woman who takes
up one hobby, one charity, one line Of
work beyond her household cares,
and follows it steadily, will find that
it brings freshness and power with it.
1t becomes both outlook and inflow
to her. And the woman with hobby
grows old so slowly that she often
never grows old at all, but keeps to
the last that freshness Of interest
which is the mark of youth"

is CRIME INCREASING?

Whenever a crime of unusual turpi-
tude is committed, and particularly
whenever a number of such forbid
ding events occur in quick succession,
we hear much about the epidemic of
crime" accompanied by lugubrious
comment to the effect that wickedness
is increasing, that it is outrunning
the growth of population, that the
country is rapidly degenerating. 1t
has become the settled conviction of
minds chemically indisposed TO look
upon the sunny side of things that the
criminal population is increasing at
more alarming rate than at any
time in the country's history, yet no
prof is at hand to support this pessi-
mistic view.
Penologists are awaiting trust
worthy and sufficiently comprehensive
statistics on this interesting subject.
Samuel j. Barrows, Commissioner for
the United States on the Interna-
tional Prison Commission, declared in
paper published in 1903 that for
want Of any comparative statistics in

| ficult to say whether criminals are in
creasing with reference to the popu-
lation, inasmuch as so much depends
upon the activity of the police. Mr..
Barrows observes that as social rela-
tons multiply the standard of pro
priety and good conduct and of social
protection is constantly raised, and
when new laws are rigidly enforced
1--WE may expect an increase for the
time being in the number of offenders
until society has adjusted itself to the
new requirements"
1t may be noted that the system OF
news gathering has been brought to q
high pitch of efficiency in our day
Every crime of Importance occurring
almost anywhere in the country is i'm
mediately reported. We hear very
much, more about crime than our for
bears did. The diligence of the re
| porters and the news agencies creates
the impression that the world is
growing worse. The law-abiding
millions attract little attention.

FARMERS EAST AND WEST.

An Iowa farmer who was bred in
New England, after making a visit to
the old farm, remarks that he OBJ
serves an absence of the old-time
thrift and application that once exist
ed among the farmers of New Eng
land. He says they work 800 days a
year in Iowa and that the New Eng
land farmer would have more cash
money" if he would labor on his farm
at least one-third of each twenty-four
hours for at least nine months in the
months attend to the work of turning
year, and during the other three
the forests into fields. He admits that
the New England farmer can make
more dollars from an acre of corn
than they can in the west, but that
the western farmer makes it up by
having more acres under cultivation.

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS TEST.

sreaks highly for the character of the

SPORT AS a PEAcEMAKER.

International sporting events are Of
immense value in promoting good feel
ing between neighboring peoples. Men
are like boys in that respect; good
playmates seldom become very bitter
enemies. Orientals break bread to-
gether and are thereby debarred from
lifting their hands against each other.
Occidentals break records" in friend
ly competition, with like effect.
The Upton races for the Americas
Cup have been great promoters of the
Anglo-American entente" They do
not, of course, decide the question for
statesmen; but they incline the COM
mon people-who are the rules of both
nations-toward a friendly policy.
The automobile races between the
French and the German chauffeurs
have also been having an undoubted
effect in bringing those two peoples
together.
King Sport is a peaceful Prince.
Friendly sporting clubs can do quite
as much for the worlds peace as so
many peace societies with their sol
emn resolutions and their lurid deflni-
tons of war. Peoples who visit each
other as competing athletes and who
entertain each other so generously
that the visiting club never has quite
a fair chance for the trophy, can with
the utmost difficulty be induced to go
cunning for each other in deadly earn
est.

substitute for the pipe of peace

RUSSIA SHOULD RECALL HIS
TORY.

Few, If any, incidents in her history
have reflected more credit upon Rus
STA than her declaration of neutral
rights, in 1880, which led to the for
nation of the first armed neutrality.
1t is true that that declaration was
formerly, perhaps first, made by Fred
erick the Great of Prussia, and that
from him it was carried to Russia and
suggested to the Russian empress by
France. But Russia has always had
the popular credit of it, and it would
seem ungracious to try to rob her of
it. Rather is it profitable to recall
that in that famous declaration Russia
limited the list Of contraband articles
to the items Of arms and ammunition
and sulphur. Nay, more. The imme-
date provocation of that act of Rus
sias was SPANS seizure of two Rus
sian vessels laden with foodstuffs!
It would be a strange turn about for
Russia now to repudiate the principles
of her famous declaration of neutral
rights and herself to approve and COM
nit the very acts against which 1t
was a protest and a prohibition. In
1870 she organized an armed neutral
ity to uphold the principle that food
was not contraband OF war. Can ii DO
that in 1904 she will set herself
against all the world by declaring it
IS contraband of war? In a century
and a quarter has the world, in her
opinion, relapsed so far toward bar

TRAITS OF PRESIDENT KRUGER.
Poultney BlgeIow Writes Of Great

Poultney Blgelow Writes Of Great
South African Statesman.
Poultney Bigelow, writing before the
Boer war, gave very interesting i'm
preston of ex-President Kruger. 1.-THE
president of the South African Repub-
lic," he wrote, 'is indeed a grand old
savage from one point of view and a
noble statesman from another. He Is
theoretically the first citizen of the
most democratic community, yet in
practice he surrounds himself with a
tawdry splendor that would shock
many a crowned head Of Europe.
When l first had the honor Of meet
ing this anachronistic phenomenon he
was drinking coffee and throwing cut
cloud of strong tobacco smoke but
still greater volume Of violent Ian
guage, emphasized by the humping of
his massive fist upon the table. The
room in which he received was crowd
ed with long-haired, full-bearded and
stolid-featured fellow burghers, who
reminded me partly of Russian priests,
partly of Californian miners, and part
ly of certain alleged portraits of the
apostles. l feared that l had unwit-
tingly interrupted cabinet meeting,
but later it turned out that this was

harrangues his visitors with the voice

He governs by personal contact and

that he knows personally every citi

THE CENTURY OF UcLINEss
Cities aud Their People Have Been

the World.

Ernest Crosby tells the Craftsman
that though the nineteenth century may
be known for many things in the future
II cannot well escape one uncomfortable
name, the Century Of Ugliness The fact
is, says Mr. Crosby, that for over one
hundred years Christendom has been
busily at work making the world ugly
in every conceivable way. and with the
most remarkable ingenuity. Cities have
grown enormously. and their sordid sub
urbs are forever eating into the country
side. And these cities. everlastingly at
tracing what is best In the country to
themselves-the country people, to be
bieached and enfeebled-their forests to
be scattered about the streets as waste
paper-their lakes and streams. to be
used for any purpose but publication and
cleanliness-these same cities are per-
petually belehing forth in return black
smoke, cheap suburbs. Newports, Coney
Islands cemeteries. summer boarders,
excursionists. yuIgarity. false ideals and
every other unnatural monster. Our
mining regions have devastated whole
countries, condemning men to work in
endless night. plling up mountains OF re-
