tion to Canada,

The somewhat startling information
comes from the west that the decreas-
ed population in many communities
can be traced directly to land-grab-
bers. Securing large acreage, these
corporations and individuals are hold
ing it at prices SO high that young
men have been compelled to seek en-
ployment in the cities or emigrate
to Carada, where land is good and
cheap. This sort of thing has, been
the curse of the west. wher 1t be-
gan there was no indication that it
would reach that point where it could
affect the population. But the drain
commenced then has been steadily in
creasing, and the natural increase in
population has been lost in the num-
ber of emigrants. When boys grew
to manhood and no longer cared to
remain at home they found that they
were unable to buy the lands taken up
by the grabbers. Canada and cities
opened their arms and there they
went as their individual tastes die
tated.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Criticism of Senator Lodge.

Savoyard writes thus of Senator
Lodge in the Washington Post: "Sena-
tor Lodges narrowness is a little diff.
ferent from that of his late colleague.
He is decidedly provincial. but the
genuine American idea is blend of
provincialisms from every community
north, south, east and west. The
sole difficulty with Senator Lodge is
that he does not think provincialism
from South Carolina or Kentucky or
Iowa or Texas or Oregon is any ac-
count and he will not consent to mix
his first-rate provincialisms with the
second and third rate provincialisms
of these inferior communities. New
England is the most provincial section
of our great country. not excepting
Manhattan island, but 1t is the most
aggressive. seit-assertive, obstinate.
pertinacious provincialism in the
world"

COMFORT IN SUMMER HEAT.
Simple Process to Cool and Dry Air
of Rooms.

John Arbuckle. the rich Brooklyn
manufacturer, has invented a method
of cooling and drying the air of rooms,
no matter how hot and humid it may
be outside. The plan consists of
pipes containing brine, which is car
ried around the room. being forced
very much like the heat is forced in
winter. and the more intense the pres
sure the lower will become the tenn
perature. The secret of It is that the
moisture is taken from the air, be-
ing CONCEALED on the pipes, from
which it is then removed, and the
humidity is thus done away with. No
ice nor chemicals are used. This
method of cooling has been expert
mentally demonstrated, and those
who have seen it in operation say it is
great success.

Peril in the Rich Young Man.

The most pernicious legacy that a
father can leave to his son is large
wealth unaccompanied by training in
the line of usefulness. 1t is grand,
as has been said, to have the strength
of giant, but cowardly to use it as
a giant So it is grand to be the pos.

use it in life of idleness and dissipa.
ton. The average rich young man
of the present day is the most danger.
Gus spoke in the social wheel. With
no useful occupation to exercise his
mind the base side of life lures him
from the path Of rectitude. By regu-
lar stages he passes from the level of
a drone and profligate to that of a
dissolute and perverted creature, a
discredit to his family, an incum-
brance in the busy world and ulti-
mately a nuisance to himself.-Los
