out of the rapid development Of large
cities. The population of the cities ut
the close of the revolutionary war was
hardly larger than the big country
towns of today. Between 1910 and
1880 the problem OF graft began to APP
pear. It came to climax in the ex-
posture Of the Tweed gang in 1871 and
since that time there has been steady
move to a better municipal govern
ment.
"Some people," said Mr.. Jones, tbe-
lieve that city can be controlled by
compromises. The gamblers say thar
they will keep the crooks in control and
force the bad men to leave town if they
themselves are protected. This may APP
pear to work in some cities, but it will
not be given an opportunity to get its
fingers wound around Minneapolis for
some time. The family life must be
protected and there will be no COM
promise here.''

THE INFLUENCE OF THE EYE ON
ONES Notwithstanding to Chalmers
Prentice, MD, Of Chicago, the eye has q
great Influence on the morals of man.
For example, the liquor habit he says,
may be cured by the use of properly ad-
justed eyeglasses: He cites cases to prove
his proposition. He advocates the use OF
repression glasses, glasses that rest the
eye from the constant strain Of focusing
on, things near at hand, and give the
same ease that one gets from looking upon
a " distant view after long attention to
something very near. DR.. Prentice
views are set forth in a little book bear
ing the title The Eye, Mind, Energy and
Matter. In so far as eyestrain con-
tributes to nervousness and nervousness
to- habits such as that mentioned, there
seems to be much reason for believing
that properly fitted glasses would relieve
the troubles. rs. -

Home Life of the Russians.

The daily life of a Russian couple
of the Weather classes, says the
philadelphia Ledger, is singularly reg
ular and monotonous, varying only
with the changing seasons. In sum-
mer the lord of the house gets up
about z o'clock and puts on, with the
assistance Of his valet de chambre,
a simple costume. consisting chiefly
Of a faded, plentifully stained dress
ing gown. Having nothing particular
to do. he sits down at the open Win
dow and ook into the yard. Toward
Q O'Clock tea is announced and he
goes into the dining room a long,
narrow apartment, with bare wooden
floor and no furniture but a table and
chairs. Here he finds his wife with
the tea urn before her. In a. few min
utes the younger children enter the
room, kiss their papa's hand and take
their places around the table. AS this
morning meal consists merely of bread
and tea, it does not last long, and all
disperse to their several occupations.
The head of the house begins the
labors Of the day by resuming his
seat at the open window and having
his Turkish pipe filled and lighted by
a boy whose special function is to
keep his masters pipe in order. The
housewife spends her morning in a
more active way. AS SOC as the
breakfast table has been cleared she
goes to the larder, takes stock of the
provisions, arranges the meals and
gives to the cook the necessary ma
t~erials. with detailed instructions as
to how they are to be prepared The
rest of the morning she deVotes to her
other household duties.
Toward 1 O'Clock dinner is announc-
eG and Ivanovitch prepares his appe-
tite by swallowing at a gulp a wine
glass Of home made bitters. Dinner
is the great event of the day. Food is
abundant and of good quality, but
mushrooms, onions and fat play rath-
er too important a part in the repast,
and the whole is prepared with very
little attention to the recognized prin-
ciples of hygiene. No sooner a the
last dish been removed than a death
like stiffness falls upon the house. It
is the time of the after dinner siesta-
The young folk go into the garden
and all the members of the house
hold give way to drowsiness natur-
ally engendered by a heavy meal on a
bot summer day. ~Ivanovitch retires to
his own room, from which the files
have been carefully expelled by his
pipe bearer. His wife dozes in a big
armchair in the sitting room. with a
pocket handkerchief spread e her
face. The servants snoIe in the cor
