inherited CONSERVATION.

Some people think that because
their parents died with consumption,
they are doomed by the same plague.
consumption are very rare. The real
reason why SO many in family suf-
fer from tuberculosis is to be found
elsewhere than in heredity.
The afflicted member does not know
the necessity for personal cleanliness,
for religiously collecting and burning
all matter spit up. The use of the
ordinary pocket handkerchief and the
washing of it in the family laundry
Is constant source of danger. Rice
paper handkerchiefs or old linen
should be used and then burned.
The person himself is almost harm
less. 1t is only the lack of care in
scattering the genus that makes him
dangerous companion. These bad
practices are usually due to ignorance.
1t is not necessary to isolate the pa
tient for the protection of the family.
Each person not affected should
breathe fresh air, exercise out of
doors, eat simple food, battle daily
and sleep eight hours each night
This will increase the body's vital
power and resist the deadly genus
which may be breathed in. The rest
of the family being thus fortified, the
patient should cooperate in the pro-
lection.
Let him study to prevent the germs
from being scattered broadcast
through the house. Then let all CO..
operate in the fresh air cure of the
patient, and he may live in peace and
pleasure, gradually fighting his way
back to health, and in no way dan
| gerous to his friends.
When every consumptive intelli-
gently co-operates with the family
and physician, the day of inherited
consumption" will be passed.

THE PUZZLE OF THE STRINGS.

A little preparation is necessary be-
fore you perform this trick. Get two
pieces of Irvine four feet long and
three ordinary spools. Fold each piece
of Irvine double, as shown in Fig. 1.
Pass about half an inch of the looped
end of A through the loop of B and
fold it back on the tape A, which will
thus be hooked into B.
Pass the open ends of B through a
spool and draw the spool over the in
terlocked loop, as in Fig. 2. This spool
must not be moved from its position
at any time during the performance of

Peanut Dolls.


Very odd and funny and instructive
little dolls can be made from pea
nuts. You may have an Indian chief,
squaw and little papoose, John China
man, a Japanese lady, Dutch woman,
Norman peasant woman with high
white cap, witch in peaked hat and
red cloak, wizard arrayed in star
trimmed cloak and high hat, a Hindoo
yogi with white turbaned head,
gypsy and many other characters in
this jolly company.
The peanuts are threaded whole
upon coarse white Irvine, this the
length of the nuts Very short nuts
are used for feet and hands and the
round single nuts for the heads. A
thick, long peanut forms the body, or,
if more bulk is required, use two.
Long, slender nuts form the arms and
legs.
Now for the wigs. For the orientals
use horsehair or the hair filling Of a
cushion; glue the locks in place and
then fasten on the head covering. New
rope, if combed out fine, will make a
splendid flaxen wig; by coloring it you
can have an auburn or brown tint.
Fasten this wealth of hair with a
jaunty bow Outline the features in
ink. The wigs of the wizard and the
yogi should be white; use cotton
picked out fluffy and glue in place so
it will fall long over the shoulders,
and make flowing boards.
Material for the dresses can be of
tissue or crepe paper in gay colors
or bits from the scrap bag. The garb

A Pretty Experiment.

Here is little experiment that will
amuse you. Take a piece of wood
thick CROUCH to rest on table in an
upright position. Bore several holes
of different sizes in it, leaving some of
them straight-that is of the same
diameter all the way through. Others
you must make of conical shape by
cutting away some of the wood on
a table, supported, If necessary, and
suspend before it at little distance
on the side of the large end of the
conical openings a piece of paper.
This may be hung from the chandelier
but it must be low enough to be OPP
posite to the holes in the wood.
II you now blow through the
straight holes toward the paper it will
naturally be blown away from you;
but blow through the small end of
the conical opening and the paper will
remain stationary or may even be
drawn toward you. Try it with a
candle fame and a similar result will
follow
The explanation is that when you
blow through the straight hole the
air current is kept together in col.
umn and forces the Object away froEl
1t. When you blow through the small
end of the conical hoe the air cur
rent is spread, or dispersed, and goes
off around the object, leaving it un
moved.

if you should use bellows, or ever

Osophy. His proposal is based upon
the Spencerian dictum, The Law of
Equal Freedom, i. e., Each free to do
as he wills, provided he does not in
fringe upon the equal freedom of 9TH
ers."
Anyone who holds the exclusive pos
session of a highway, whether made of
dirt, water or steel, whether for the
transportation of persons or products,
or in the form of pipe lines for water,
gas, oil, ETC., or of wires, for the trans
mission Of intelligence, light, power,
etc. which all must use, enjoys mon

poWer-in other words, infringes upon
the equal freedom of others. Each
member of society may not own a sep
arate highway for all Of these purposes
1t is physically impossible to do So
There is not sufficient room. Even
were it possible, it would be uneco-
nomical. All such highways, which
all must use, should be public. To
maintain them is necessarily proper
public function.
An analysis of all public questions,
tested by the law of equal freedom,
will make it easy for anyone to reach
the right conclusion in regard to each
issue as it arises. Without that test,
one is more apt to reach wrong con-
illusions, than right. By that test we
find that all taxes on the products or
processes of industry, whether direct
or Indirect, are wrong, and that ground
rent is the only just source of pub
lie revenue. The income tax, like the
national banking system, is unjust.
The only difference in their injustice
is In degree, and equity admits of no
degree. Protective tariff is highway
robbery, while revenue tariff is sneak
thievery.
The latest figures at hand for both
taxes and ground rent, in the United
States, are for the year 1891. In that
year all the taxes raised by all the
governing bodies, from municipal to
national, totaled $916,00O,COO, while the
