The following abstract from the
Cincinnati Lancet-Clinic in regard to
one of the worst evils of modern child
life is very timely:
/, Refinement in matters Of social
life proceeds hand in hand with re-
flnement in other lines as civilization
advances. From the standpoint of the
physician and of the anthropologist,
it is a question whether the physical
side of mankind is improving or de-
generating.
The method of bringing up chill
dren, especially in the families of the
well-to-do, is too often a serious men
ace to the child's health and develop
ment. Too much indoor life, too
much supervision, too little freedom
of motion AMI will is undoubtedly the
cause of the many weaklings seen in
the families of the wealthy. Such chill
drer have the characteristics of hot
house plants.
The remedy is. of course, to do away
with the surplus care and attention
bestowed on the child, to let the child
do more for itself, have more free
dom, more fresh air, more play with
other children. Foods and medicines
are only temporary helps for child
weakness.
Nature is its own best doctor, and
in the end can take care of dollhouse
children" If fond parents will only
give her the chance.

Was once an Elevator Bow.

A well-known railroad man, whose
headquarters are in the east, stepped
into an elevator at the Midland hotel
a day or two ago, saying he wished to
go to the fourth floor. Let me run it
up, will you?" he asked the elevator
boy. The boy stepped back and the
railroad man pulled the rope and
ran" the elevator to the fourth floor,
where he stopped it nicely. You're
pretty good at it," ventured the ele-
vator boy. Il ought to be-" replied the
railroad man. Il got my start in life
operating an elevator in an office

WHERE EYE-sIeHT is GOOD.
Best Where Distances Are Vast anc
Obstacles Are Few.

The best eyesight is possessed by
those people whose lands are vast and
barren. and where obstacles tending
TO shorten the sight are few. Esqui-
maux will detect white fox in the
snow at a great distance away, while
the Arabs of the desert have such ex-
IRENE powers of vision that on the
vast plains of the desert they will pick
out objects invisible to the ordinary
eye at ranges from one to ten miles
distant Among civilized people the
Norwegians have better eyesight than
most. If not all, others. as they more
generally fulfil the necessary condi-
tions. The reason why defective eyes
are so much on the increase in Ameri-
ca lies in too much study of books
in early life and in badly-lighted
rooms.

BLOT ON STATES GOOD NAME S
Unsanitary Condition in Prisons and Slum Dis 9
tricts Crime.

Since the attention of the Chicago
authorities was SO forcibly called to
the conditions present in the peniten-
tiary other states have been investi-
eating.
The rapid growth of tuberculosis
among prisoners in the Joliet. Ill. pen
itentiary. attended by a marked in
crease in the prison death rate, has
aroused the officials to action. An in
vestigation and reform is to be insti-
tuted by the State Board of Health.
The members of this board do not
deny that under the present conditions
all efforts to combat the disease are
hopeless. Better general sanitary con-
ditions must be established or it will
be impossible to prevent the spread of
tuberculosis to all the present prison
ers and to all who may be SO unfortu-
nate as to be sentenced later.
This is another instance of the state
forcing its citizens to live under con-
ditions which mean almost sure death
1t is surprising in this day of enlight-
eminent that the state should allow its
citizens to live. voluntarily, in unsani-
tary homes. Yet it does. The resi-
dents of the slum and tenement dis
tricts are dying from faulty santa
tfon and bad hygiene. But more the
state forces some others to spend
from one to ten years in dark cell
from which they so often come, strick-
en- by the great white plague
wrecks of their former selves and a
continual expense to the community.
With the message of prevention
and cure" of consumption in every
paper let the state not forget its pris-
oners who must silently suffer what
ever fate is decreed for them.

WlPNG OUT FRANK
 POSTAL SUGGESTION
Among Others for the Improvement
 ofthe Service.

Washington. Dec. 13.-The abolish ment of the franking privilege. the work of correcting alleged abuses of second-class mail provileges and a re- vision of the laws relating to the clas- sification of mail matter are some of the features of the annual report of the third assistant postmaster general. In the former case he declares that the interests of the government will be best subserved by requiring that all government mail be paid at regular postage. which would at once eliminate the annual postal deficit.
 In his efforts to correct alleged abuses of the second class mail privi- lege, the third assistant postmaster general says that while it necessarily is an unavoidably slow process, there has been no relaxation in the work. In the book abuse alone he says the re- ports from the post offices of New York and Chicago, the only ones re- ceived, show that the reform has re- suited in the elimination from the sec ond- class of approximately 100000 books year at those two offices. The recommendation is made for a thor ough revision of all laws in relation to the classification of mail matter, except that of the first class. which is composed of letters, postal cards. and private post cards.

A PANIC AT MOSCOW.

Moscow, Dec. 12, via Eydtkuhnen, Dec. 13.-A veritable panic prevails on the bourse. The complete collapse of business in the provinces has been at tended by many bankruptcies.
 Agrarian disturbances are extending almost to the gates of this city. The country mansions of many nobles havo been burned. The strikers fought a duel with the Cossack band in the out lying industrial village of Corodistcht The strikers stood their ground with revolvers, emptying four saddles and forcing the Cossacks to retreat.
 The workmen's council at Moscow has adhered to the decision of the St Petersburg council in deciding against a general strike. It develops that the councils funds have been exhausted in supporting the 10000 idle workmen Efforts to break the post and telegraph strike here has been unsuccessful Volunteer carriers are boycotted and taunted in the streets.
 News from Kursk says that two re- giments which refused to protect landed estates from the peasants have been ordered back to that town.
 The publishers of Moscow have de- cided to defy press laws.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The wash ing of democratic linen for the amuse- ment of republicans" as MT. Williams. the minority leader, put it on Monday
 occupied the attention of the house for more than four hours today. The re- suit accomplished was a "defi" thrown at the minority leader by Representa- tive Lamar of Florida and another by Representative Shackleford. of Mis- souri, The complaint of both resulted from the failure of Mir. Williams to recommend their reappointment as members of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. Both made long speeches in which MT. Williams leadership was assailed from many points. Mir Williams replied to MT. Lamar at some length and briefly to MT Shackleford His defense was, that at the last session, the democrats on this committee were divided and he deemed it necessary for the good of the party and the country that united minority report should be made on the subject of railroad rate legislation. At times there was high tension in the debate.
 MT. Lamar was particularly bitter in his criticism and openly declared that his heretofore personal friendship for MT. Williams was forever at an end unless the criticism of himself was TetTacted. He, however would recog- nize MT. Williams as the party leader. MT. Shackleford denounced all bosses and placed himself entirely independent of party leadership in the house.
 The subject under discussion was the committee on distribution of the an nual message of President Roosevelt

Messrs. Lamar and ShaCkIeford Publicly Revolt Against the Leadership of
 Williams
The Blue Monday Was Merely Postponed Until Yesterday and All Other Public Business Was Suspended in the House in Consequence.

At the co1clusion of the democratic de- bate this had not been accomplished and the house adjourned.
 MT. Lamar of Florida, was recognized and reverted to the question of com mittee appointments he had referred to on Monday. MT Williams, the minor ity leader, at once left his seat and took up a place near MT. Lamar Speaking of the leadership of MT. Will Hams, MT. Lamar said he would rec ognize him as the party leader, but not personally until he relieves me of an unjust charge on his part"
 He stated that he did not agree with MT. Williams that the republicans would enjoy personalities between democrats. Emphasizing this, he re- ferred to the personal debate of last session between MT. Sullivan, of Mas sachusetts, and MT. Hearst of New York. At the same time he charged that the minority leader had no ob- jection to the procedure. MT. Lamar reverted to the great importance of railroad rate legislation and reviewed the action of the house at tie last session, which included the voting down of the Davey bill, proposed by the minority. The Davey bill, he said, had first been adopted by the demo- cratic caucus. The minority leader, he said, was forced to amend the Davey bill on the floor of the house or see it go out to the country in an imperfect condition. If that caucus was bind ing then he challenged the minority leader to deny the fact that no one could have amended it. He conceded that the minority leader should have power to make committee removals as well as appointments, but he must ex- ercise that power in the face of moral obligation and reasonablenea-.
 MT. Lamar concluded with the state ment that he considered his removal from the commerce committee an act 1 absolutely untenabIe and an aspersion upon his private character. MT. Lamar said it had gone to the country through the press that the minority leader would not tolerate the followers of Hearst. He admitted that on Monday he was in the heat of anger and was glad that he had been stopped. How ever, his personal friendship for MT. Williams haG ceased.
 MT. Williams was at once recognized to reply. "I am," he said, about tc perform a very unpleasant duty, and one as to the wisdom of which I have

 The following directors were chosen: A. H. Soden of Boston, Barney Drey- fus of Pittsburg; Charles H. Ebbetts of Brooklyn, w. J. Shettline of Phil adelphia and Charles w. Murphy oi Chicago. The old board consisted ot Dreyfus, Brush. Hart and Soden.

 The opinion is expressed that before long a movement to separate Oklahoma and Indian Territory from the bill will be well under way. The opponents Of jointure are much encouraged. If the people of Arizona exert themselves during the coming month to bring all possible pressure to bear on congress. they will have more than a fighting chance to circumvent Beveridge and the jointure crowd.
