Al the municipal elections in

is notorious fact that such laws are
universally ignored. The parent,

The parent. that he does not thor
oughly train his child; the teacher,
that he does not better supervise the
conduct of his pupils; the doctor, in
that he does not warn the parent,
who perhaps errs himself.
School boys may be seen any day
on their way to school with, books un-
der their arms, and a chew of tobacco
or a cigarette in their mouths. Oc-
casionally little girls may be observed
tndulging in the seductive cigarette
on the streets. What will be the in
evitable results? The best that could
be hoped would be numerous tobacco
users, but worse might be feared, and
very much worse imagined.
The evil is evident, and the remedy
is provided, but law is useless till en-
forced on violation. The dealer will
not. obey it till public sentiment de-
mands it; the child does not choose to
submit to it; the parent is negligent;
the pupil is Indifferent or silent; and
what is left for the child's salvation
but action upon the part of the guard
ians of humanity. II we act, we move
thankless. The parent will not appre-
ciate; the dealer will be made an
enemy; and the children will hate us
as they become men. Pastor and
priest. lawyer and laymen will sneer
II we attempt to enforce the laws.
Even but few of our own body poll
tic may be depended upon to act, eth
.er by precept or concerted movement.
Few physicians are even good enough
politicians to ask councilman or rep
resentative to vote upon a measure.
The effort against the evil is necessa-
rily, for the time, along the lines of
individual effort. To do good. we

The Charity Organization Society of
New York. in a handbook on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis. encourages
the active campaign against this great
plague and gives a concise summary
Of Why" the battle should be waged.
Because more people die Of con-
sumption than from any other dis
ease.
Each year 1895. 900 of the people Of
the world die Of 1t. In the United
States over 100000 die every year Of
consumption. Every day 5000, and
each minute of the day two persons
fall before this enemy. How many OF
your friends have died of It?
Because 1t is disease which
spreads from one person to another.
and any one may catch it.
Because it is chiefly caused by the
filthy habit OF splitting.
Because it is disease which can be
stopped. and need not spread.
Because every one may and should
help stop 1t.
Because already there is change for
the better. The number of deaths
from consumption is growing less.
Twenty years ago there were many
more deaths in proportion to the pop
ulation than now.
II the tuberculosis death rate of 1886
had been maintained the first nine
months Of 1902, four thousand more
persons in Manhattan and the Bronx
would have died Of tuberculosis than
actually died in these months.
Could anything be found more in
spring. more plainly indicative of the
need for extending the work against
this disease?

through Copenhagen on his journey
from Berlin. He was received by
Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark
and appeared to be much concerned
over the situation. The two crown
princes conversed at lsngth in the sta
tion before the train left for Stock
holm.
1t is learned that Crown Prince Gus
tave had long interview on the crisis
Berlin and that it is understood the
emperor is not unwilling to intervene
in favor of the Swedish dynasty.
An authority intimately connected
with the emperor confirms a rumor
that he abandoned his trip to Norway
at the request of Crown Prince Gus
tave.
The general opinion was that the
crown prince was more irreconcilable
to Norway than was his father, and
there is no doubt that he induced
King Oscar to veto the consular bill.
Many English and American tour
lists who arrived at Copenhagen on
their way to Norway have abandoned
the trip, owing to the revolution.
1t is believed Norwegian leaders
would give their country republican
form of government at once were it
not for the opposition such step
would meet with from the powers OF
Europe. Should ambition be realized,
Fridtjof Nansen, the arctic explorer,
probably would be the first president
of Norway.

Skin TRAINING.

An enormous amount of time is Ge-
voted to the training of the hand, the
eye, and the brain, but the training Of
the skin is seldom thought of. Never
theless. a well trained skin is more
other kind Of bodily culture. The neg
lect Of the skin must be regarded as
the foundation cause of a large num-
ber of chronic maladies. 1t may al
most be asserted that man who will
keep his skin in a thoroughly healthy
condition may defy almost any known
disease. The experienced horseman
knows very well the Importance of at
tending to the skin Of the animal un-
der his care. A horse which has
hide-bound skin, with the hair dry and
dingy, dull and lifeless, in appearance,
shows by this fact that his whole body
is in state of disease.
A healthy skin is warm, slightly
moist, smooth, reddens quickly when
rubbed or exposed to the action of hot
or cold water, is supple and elastic,
perspires readily under exercise or the
application Of heat, and is free from
pimples. eruptions and discolorations.
To maintain this condition, the skin
must be subjected to daily bathing and
grooming. Horsemen rub and groom
their charges daily. Wild and domes-
tic animals left free in the field habit
ually groom themselves by vigorous
rubbing against trees or other objects.
Hunters are familiar with this fact,
and often secrete themselves near a
rubbing tree" as a means of getting
an easy shot at their game. Man, Of

How Habit. Are Formed.

How Habits Are Formed.
The formation of a physical habit
involves the education Of portion
of the brain; and when the habit has
once been formed the act may be per-
formed almost independently Of the
will or the higher brain. This fact
should impress us most profoundly
with the Importance Of forming right
habits. since It is apparent that the
getting rid of q wrong habit involves
not only the formation CT a right
habit, but the far more tedious and
.dificult work Of undoing the evil
work which has been done in the
wrong education Of the brain. This
same principle applies to the higher
centers which are concerned only in
mental acts, as we shall see later. 1t
is indeed a most momentous thought
that every act of our lives. not only
emanates from the brain. but modi-
fies and changes the brain, thus influ-
encing our characters.

JAPANESE IN HAWAII.

1t is reported that already southern

csc emigrants who followed quickly on
the heels of the victorious army New
chwang, which had a Japanese popula-
ton of 100 before the war. is said now
to contain no fewer than 5000 japanese
civilian residents.
This diversion of Japanese toward the
Asiatic mainland is one that is favor
ed, of course, by the government, and
is approved also by the people of Ha-
wall, who had begun to complain of the
Japanization of that American posses
sion. Japan has been so thickly popu-
lated that some outlet has become i'm
perative, and many japanese found in
Hawaii a convenient point for migra-
ton. The results of the war with Rus
STA have changed the complexion of the
situation, and Manchuria and Korea
will now swarm with japanese emf
grants.
It is startling to read that since the
American acquisition of Hawaii the
Japanese in the islands have increased
nearly threefold from "a, 900 to 10000;
that they are now double the number of
Chinese or of the native Kanakas. and
are five times the number of resident
whites of all nationalities. --Exchange
