ISOLATE DEGENERATEs.
Benefits to Society From Segregation
of All Deficients.

There is no reason why society
should not relieve itself of the bur
den of mental and physical degen-
crates in two or three generations &C
cording to Alexander Johnson, secre-
tary of the National Conference OF
Charity and Correction. This can be
accomplished very easily, Mr.. john
son told the School of Philanthropy
simply by segregating these individ-
uals.
"They should be educated to the
fullest extent possible" he SAID, ana
it is astonishing what can be done
with a feeble minded child If 1t IS
taught young. They should be made
useful and happy and provided WIN
every possible amusement, from FUSS
in the Corner to grand opera, put
they should not be permitted to share
the joys and sorrows of marHed lie.
s.This is not a great deprivation
and the only happiness possible 10
detectives is in an environment specl-
ally adapted to their condition. III
the right environment it is very easy
to make them happy. They snoulo
be taken into the care of the motner
state from childhood until death, ana
thereby the state will be serving not
only it's own best interests, but those
of the defective individuals. l don't
like paternalism in government, but
we can't have too much maternalism.
"The state is the greater parent ana
has rights paramount to those OF tne
natural parent For hundreds OF years
the state has stepped in to protect a
childs property against It's natural
guardian. Later we came to see tnat
the state should protect ch1ld's per-
son against the violence OF parents
and now it is beginning to interfere
in behalf OF the child's intellect ana
character"
Mr.. johnson added that this segre-
cation of detectives was merely the
beginning of science of stirpiculture.
1.-THE time is coming he said,
when we will take just as much care
in reproducing the human species 90
we do now in feeding animals.
Although Mr.. Johnson believes IN
eliminating bad stock, he thinks that
the idea of heredity has been greatly
overworked, and that environment is
matter of infinitely more import
ance.
81 would rather be born in the worst
slum, of the worst parents that ever
WERE" he said, "and he removed to
satisfactory environment at blrth
than be born under the best possible
conditions and then be removed TO
bad environment Heredity is a pow
erful factor, and we need never be
surprised at anything it does. There
Is an aristocratic family in England
where one of the males in every Sec
ond generation becomes insane at the
age of for.y-five. Think of the won
derful properties of microscopic
speck of matter which will produce
such a chain of events. Yet this In
hueuce is slight compared with that
of environment, and much that passes
as heredity is really the result Of en-
vironment."
Mr.. Johnson expressed the opinion
that Gaiteau and probably CZolgosz
were detectives and ought to have
been sent to insane asylums, instead
Of being executed
at is just as well, perhaps, to hang
those fellows and get them out OF the
way" he remarked. "rt is cheaper
than combining them. But they are
not morally responsible. New York

As 10 Apples.

A good apple is the finest altera-
tive in the world. 1t beats all the
drugs named in the Red Book of
Allison. But where are we to obtain
a good apple? I have not been able
to buy one in Ave years-an apple
red. firm. reekiag with juice halfway
between sour and sweet. pure to the
core. where the last morsel consists
OF beautiful black seeds which are as
delicious as the olive in the cock
tail. The apple Of today is a mealy
affair, juiceless. tasteless. pulpy and
generally rotten at heart. There Ia
no medicine in such a growth. 1t is
a quack. The famous seedless apple
is the biggest imposition ever prac-
ticed upon on advancing" civilization.

DoN'Ts FOR BUSINESS GIRLS.

Don't be late to your work and then
expect consideration because you are
young lady.

were in society You are probably
doing the work that was done form
erly by man, and if in snail ways
you are not considered as much as
you are at home, remember that you
are in business.
Don't have your friends come in to
see you during business hours.
Don't let your friends ring you up
at the Office, even in the lunch hour
Don't complain constantly about
your work. If your work is not con.
genial to you, make up your mind to
get some other employment, but
don't whine. That never helped any

ON A WoMAN's AGE.

The thanks of her sex are due Min
ME Gaillard, schoolma'am of Sartar-
tia, Texas, for her resistance to an
act of oppression in Recorder Goff's
court, says the New York World.
Threatened with Jail if she did not
divulge her age, she stood out for the
unalienable right of womanhood. The
toss of her head and the snap OF
jaws as she defied the efforts of the
district attorney to extract the in
eliminating evidence deserve to go
on record in the annals of freedom
along with the firing of the shot heard
round the world.
When the women of Colorado go to
the polls to vote, the highest judicial
tribunal in the state cannot force
them to tell their age. They are above
81" and that in the laws chivalric
view is enough 1t is all the marriage
license clerk requires to know. On
the subject of the age of ladies of
title the Almanach de Gotha and
Burke's Peerage are discreetly silent,
though less considerable of mere
princess and dukes
Is not the authority ample? Thus
bulwarked by sound legal and social
presidents, Miss Gaillard stands on
uncontrovertible ground.
WEARING OF BEADS PREVALENT.
Wearing of beads seems to be grow
ing more and more prevalent. From
the morning hours, when the shirt
waist suit is worn until the time when
fashionable women don decollete
gowns, the throat decoration is the
thing. Coral is the prime favorite
in the morning and narrow band with
q carved clasp gives touch of dainti.
ness to ! plain Bingham or lawn. Some
women who should know better Irvine
pearls around their throat when on
shopping expeditions. The young
daughter of the Russian Ambassador
in Washington, Baroness Elizabeth
Rosen, may be seen exercising her
dog and wearing pearls about her
neck. Miss Louise Foraker wears an
antique garnet necklace set in Roman
twisted gold. Another freak of adj
ornment was seen in the Avenue yes
terday. A woman wore the incongru.
ous combination of necklace of beau
tiful amethysts and a tweed walking
suit-New York Press.

Handle Work With Gloves.

Il hope" said the woman who was
ordering a pair of slippers made of
Powered satin, ''that you will tell your
workman to wash his hands before he
begins to make these up"
''Wash his handsp' repeated the clerk
"Why, madam, he never will touch
these with his bare hands!
Then the clerk explained that all
workmen employed in making slippers
Of light colors worked with white
gloves on.
'',Try to keep them clean!' he con-
tinued. II should say they did They
try SO hard that they change their
white gloves three times day" Which
is not SO fantastic as it may seem, for
if a shoemaker soils material of this
kind the expense to him Of replacing
the material, to say nothing of the loss
of his time, makes it worth his while
to work in gloves and keep them clean
at that.-NeW York Press.

The Great Air Whale.

The native inhabitants of the Fiji
islands believe thunder to be the bel
lowing of the great air whale, myth
ical creature which, according to their
folklore stories, inhabits the opposite
side of all thunder clouds. If the regu-
lation thunder cloud appears unaccom-
panied by the ominous rumblings pc
culiar to such phenomena, they take it
as token that the Great Spirit is
pleased with their past doing. If, how
ever, on the other hand, the detonations
be frequent and violent they are sure
that the god of the elements is dis
pleased and Immediately engage them
selves in all sorts of ludicrous incanta-
tons for the purpose of righting mat
tiers. Lightning is to them the result
of the air whale crashing his teeth to-
gether and thus striking fire. Another
popularity of this primitive people lies
in the fact that they will not partake
of food while thunder cloud is in
sight, fearing that the air whale will
pounce upon and devour them for such
irreverence

The Slnelt.

1t is the opinion of the true gourmet
that of all marine pan fish there is none
to compare with the smelt (Osmerus
mordaX). This primary rank is it's own
by reason Of it's delicacy and delicious
flavor, and when fried light brown in
very fine breadcrumbs and served with
melted butter there is none that d s.
putes it's pre-eminence It's delightful
flavor, however, as well as it's peculiar
odor, is eyanescent. Like the mackerel,
it cannot be too fresh 1t is from it's
0dOr that the smelt derives not only it's
familiar but Latin name an OdOr so ag-
gressive of sliced cucumbers that if it's
presence be manifested only to the
sense of smell people are often deluded
into such suppOstiOn. This odor is not
marked except in the freshly caught
fish and disappears in the cooking, Civ
ing place, however, to a fitting resur-
rection Of the smelt to an olfactory
sense still more savory and delightful.

Speech and Intellect.

A man who has, by disease or injury,
lost the faculty of talking is generally
also unable to write, and it is only in
exceptional cases that one of these
functions persists while the other is in
allegiance. Cases of this latter kind
show, however, that there are really
two separate centers for the two fac
ultias which are lying very close to-
gether and therefore generally suffer
at the same time. If the disease af-
fecting them be still more extensive
the faculty of intelligent pantomime or
gesticulation is likewise abolished. Per-
sons who have entirely lost their Ian
guage may still be able to play chess,
backgammon and whist, and they have
been observed to cheat at cards with
some ingenuity. They may also be
sharp in business matters, facts tend
ing to show that speech and. intellect
do not run in identical grooves.
