DIR. Charles Gorst, superintend-
ent of the Mendoza asylum, makes
the remarkable statement that
''there is no greater crime against
the state than holding religious
revivals. Whenever there is a
stirring religious revival in any
part of the state it is followed by a
veritable influx of patients sent to
the asylums. 1t is not always safe
to say these things openly because
it is not always safe to tell the truth,
but that is the fact. Religious
mania is one of the most common
forms of insanity and together with
over-indulgence in alcoholic drink
and family troubles, religious en-
thusiasm is the great cause OF send
ing persons to institutions like this.

No Primary Legislation.

No Primary Legislation.
The prediction made by the
Pioneer at the beginning of the
Legislative session of 1905 that
the primary election law would
remain practically unchanged for
another two years has been made
true, and it seems for the rea-
sons then given in these columns.
The principle Of the election has
come to stay and while there is
great dissatisfaction with many
features of the law, it appears
that experience has not been
sufficient to enable us to suggest
changes upon which we can all
agree. The law remains almost
absolutely the same, the changes
being of minor significance, and
will therefore be given a third
test under the same conditions
which have prevailed in the past
two elections.
The legislature appears to have
followed the. rule. When in
doubt, do nothing.

To Prey Upon the People.

To Prey Upon the People.
The days news brings US the
intelligence that the employees
of-the late. legislature have form
ed an organization which they
have dignitied with the appella-
ton of the ''Republican State
League
This is hard on both the re-
publican party and on the state.
What can be the purpose Of such
an organization except to prey
upon the state? In fact it is
frankly admitted that it is the in
tention of the promoters of the
organization to make it ssa power
in state politics.
Everyone knows that the prin-
cipal business of the employees
of the legislature is to draw
money from the state for SER
vices which they have rendered
to various members in election.
If the legislature were a private
business institution, three
fourths of the employees would
be out of job and the other
fourth would have their salaries
cut in two.
The organization Of such a body
with the avowed purpose of be-
coming "a power in politics" is a
nice thing for the people Of the
state to contemplate.

In July, 1883, began to break out with
Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and
began treatment with local doctors. but
did not get much relief. They said the dis
ease had become chronic. I then quit them
and tried various ointments and soaps for
another two years, but as soon as cold
weather camel was as bad off as ever, so I
finally decided toilet medicine alone, and
for twelve or thirteen years did nothing
towards curing the Eczema, except bath
ing. This seemed to do about as much
good as anything I had tried.

The Sitting Hen.

Eggs intended for early sitting should
be gathered at least twice day and
kept where there will be no danger Of
chilling. Hens that want to sit early
in the spring are apt to be rather unre-
liable and should be allowed to become
thoroughly started over nest Of china
eggs before being intrusted with val
liable sitting. When hen really means
business, her skin feels hot and fever
ish, and she usually sheds few feath-
ers from the breast Early sittings
should not be more than the hen can
very easily cover, eleven or twelve be-
ing better than a larger number for
hens Of average size. Build up the
nest with plenty Of straw, filling with
chaff to make smoother surface, and
see that the curve toward the bottom
is smooth, so that the eggs roll easily
and cannot work into corners.

TELLS YOUNG 70 MARRY.
Bishop Delaney Urges Early Unions
and Advises Men Not to De-
lay Until IS.

Manchester, N. Hin talking to his
people at st. Joseph's cathedral, re-
Gently, Bishop Delany said there were
hut SO marriages at the cathedral dur
ing last year, ten of which were mixed
too many of the latter, he said, and
not enough of the former. Mixed mar
riages, he continued, are not to be en-
couraged, as the church is against
them. They are performed, not be-
cause the church is willing, but be-
cause, in majority of instances, the
contracting parties would go to the
city clerk or a justice of the peace to
have the knot tied
The bishop urged the young people
to get married and to do so soon. Some
men, he said, think it well enough to
wait until they are 35 before getting
married. but at this age a man has
lived the best part of his life. He Is
an old bachelor and the wife he chooses
as generally prim old maid. Too
long courtships are not advisable. said
the bishop. He advised the fathers
and mothers of daughters to give the
young man six months to call upon
his lady love. and, if in this time his
intentions do not prove serious, to in
form him that he had better go.
Many young people contend they
cannot afford to get married, as they
cannot save money enough to warrant
it, said Bishop Delaney but if they
did not spend so much money on each
other in presents and in going about
they could save sufficient money to fur
nish a nice home and to live comfort
ably.

Geese are extremely hardy and long
lived. They thrive on low lying lands
which would not be suitable for fowls.
Old pasture is best suited to their re-
quirements, as they crop the grass very
short and would likely destroy the
roots Of newly sown grass. They must
be afforded liberty and lots Of grassy
range. They are very coarse feeders
and will eat nearly anything in the
shape Of green food. Although it is de-
sirable to hatch early, It is not always
advisable, as it depends upon the eli
mate and location. Goslings need grass
and do not thrive unless green food IS
supplied when they cannot get range.

SELECTING BREEDERS.
Points to BE Considered In Mating
Up a Pen of Fowls.


Up a Pen of Fowls.
The keynote of success in mating up
breeding pen is constitution. No mat
ter how good ones birds may be in the
essential standard requirements, if they
have not the vigor and constitution
which accompany perfect health disap-
pointment is certain to be the result,
Journal.
In selecting a breeding yard it should
be remembered that good size. heavy
bone and general appearance of
health denote vigor. A knowledge that
the ancestors of the birds selected also
possessed this same size, bone and gen.
eral good health almost insures consti-
tutional vigor. If in some single respect
the male bird is somewhat faulty see
that the females to be mated with him
are not faulty in the same particular;
but, better still, try and select the en-
tire pen so that there will be no radical
faults on either side.
After the pen has been selected much
depends upon the conditions under
which they are kept during The breed
ing season. Some breeders place twelve
or fifteen females with Il male, and
with the American breeds this may
prove satisfactory, but with Black
Langshans have found eight or ten to
be productive of better results.
If the pen is mated when the wealth
er is still cold and close confinement Is
necessary 1t will be better not to at
tempt to get extremely early chicks. A
high per cent of fertile eggs is unusual
when close confinement Is necessary,
although a scratching shed and the ex-
ercise that follows its use will take the
place of a good yard run in some de-
gree.
OF the proper method of feeding few
who have become successful fancfers
are ignorant. Green food, either cab.
age, roots or clover, is necessity II
one would have fertile eggs, and Of
equal Importance Is some form of mea'
food.
Cleanliness is of the utmost impor
lance as means Of warding off dis
ease and keeping without impairment
the constitutional vigor Of the breeding
birds. Under such conditions even ,
novice will obtain results which, If oh
served closely and allowed to teacl
their lesson, will make continued worl
in the same direction interesting an,
profitable.

STATISTICS OF TELEoRAPHs
Figures Compiled by the Census De-
partment on This Great
Industry.

I Washington.-The census depart
ment has prepared the following figures
on the telegraph systems:
The commercial telegraph systems
numbered Is in 1902, as compared with
~ in 1880. This striking decrease is
Tue, however, to the number of CONSOLE
Nations which have taken place, the
magnitude of the equipment and busi-
ness showing a great increase. At the
present time the telegraph business is
practically controlled by two companies,
yet the number of miles of wire in oper-
alton in 1902 was more than four times,
the number of messages almost three
times, and the receipts from messages
more than twice as great as in 1880.
The average rate per message in 1902,
after deducting the number of cable
messages and the receipts therefrom,
was 81 cents, as compared with 43 cents
In 1880.
The commercial telegraph companies
reported 1,31S,350 miles of wire in oper-
alton in 1902, but also made report Of
1,307,046 miles as owned or leased. or
the latter mileage, 62.5 per cent. was
operated by the single or Morse sys-
TEN, al per cent. by the duplex sys-
TEN, 23.6 per cent. by the quadruplex
system, and the remaining eight-tenths
of one per cent. by machine or auto
matte systems.
The commercial telegraph messages
