ing of moral imbecility. once stated that
he had examined and questioned many
tramps and was ready to swear that the
tramp is a low. cunning imbecile." We
know not how many prostitutes our coun-
try harbors, but how much more even
would they become objects Of our pity,
were we to know the number Of them In
whom mental weakness was the cause OF
their loathsome condition.
Howard Edwards a philenthropist of
Philadelphia, who has spent many years
in the rescue Of fallen women, once stated
that he felt 1.-The cause OF prostitution
to be a mainly mental and moral insta-
bility or imbeeility and not downright
wantonness." And so with the criminal,
for q. r. Brockway of thee Elmira re-
formatory, reports in 1853 examinations,
1882 as having absolutely no moral sense.
And he gives as his opinion that some
thing that may be called imbecility lies at
the foundation OF a vast amount Of
crime" What then Is the panorama that
confronts us? Not alone an appalling
number OF unfortunates demanding our
sympathy and care, but in addition TO
that mighty host Of detectives. without
custody or protection, procreating others
OF their kind and constantly increasing
the ranks OF every form OF degenerRcy.
1t is obvious then that something In
the nature OF prevention Is duty of
paramount Importance to the welfare Of
society and the state. A study of the
records Of our institutions will convince
the most skeptical that direct heredity
is one OF the greatest sources, II not the
greatest source OF supply TO this in
creasing number of degenerates. Among
many similar Instances, DR.. Carson gave
the following:
Some years ago a philanthropic gentle
man brought us two imbecile girls from
an orphan asylum. Upon their admission
he said to me with considerable feeling
and emphasis. doctor hope you will take
good care OF these girls and keep them in
custody as long as they live. Each OF
them has relatives In nearly every town
in our county not one OF whom but is i'm
beetle, insane. epileptic, a criminal a
drunkard, or a prostitute"
with reference to the widespread army
of degenerates. scattered here and there
throughout the land. who are constantly
adding to the general plethora OF feeble-
economy. the protection OF society and
the prevention Of degeneracy, demand the
! permanent sequestration of the entire
body of the feeble-minded within our
| borders In institutions. Especially should
safe custody and state guardianship APP
| ply to every feable- minded girl and
woman OF child bearing age.
A very large part, perhaps one-half OF
| the misery and wretchedness we see
about US, is, we believe, avertible. In the
near future we believe an educated public
and ensuing prohibitory legislation must
| and will strike at the sources whence
these evils spring and prevent them.

Eore,t Pre.ervatIon In New Work.

A special committee OF the New York
legislature has just completed an inspec-
ton OF important parts OF the Adirondack
region. The trip was made by way OF
Utica to the mountains. and continued by
train, boat and wagon to Lake Champlain,
The committee found that the increasing
serious menace to the forests While
no trees can be cut from state reserva-
TONS there is no restriction applying TO
to private lands, and the latter are liable
to be stripped. 1t Is stated that scien-
tific forestry is producing good results.
Trees planted five and six years ago have
attained height Of several feet, and are
now healthy and hardy. New tracts are
now being covered with young trees OF
rapid growth. BY pursuing this policy,
and by adding to the preserve to the ex-
tent that funds will permit. the state
hopes to create constantly charging areas
OF permanent woodland

Who IL KurokiP

A story is going the rounds In India,
according to the Army and Navy Jour-
nal. that the brilliant japanese military
commander. General Kuroki, is none other
than Major General Sir Hector Mac
Donald OF the British army whose
tragic death after the close Of the Boer
war was one Of the startling after-events
of that conflict Journal correspon-
dent says: MANY persons have never be-
lieved that the brilliant English general
is dead. and not long ago there appeared
In the London Times an affer Of a reward
of $4,000 to anyone who saw his dead
body. II Is also a fact that Sir Hector
was once invited TO go to Japan to train
the Japanese army No honor has ever
been publicly bestowed on Kuroki. who
appears TO have vanished as mysterious
ly as he appeared. Even the japanese,
with all their reticence, confessed to a
correspondent that Kuroh had much
foreign blood in him. and one United
States journalist declared he was an
Englishman. 1t will be remembered that
Macdonald Is supposed TO have shot him
self in Paris when he learned that he
would have to stand serious and disgrace
full charges.

A wrong impression has gone out about
our present village water supply and the
protection which II affords In case of fire.
There IL an abundance of water In the
Chestnut Hin reservoir at least four or
five more feet than has been usual at
this season, and a good supply is running
in from the different pipe lines, including
that from Stickney brook and Pleasant
valley. The West river pump has not
been In use for two weeks. and was only
used two weeks in all while the drought
was at the worst. Last Sunday water,
which appeared to be perfectly clear and
clean, was running into the Stickney
brook intake in a volume equal to at
least two thirds the capacity OF the L.
Inch main which runs out into Pleasant
valley.

Thou who hast made thy dwelling fair
With flowers beneath, above with
starry lights.
And set thine affairs everywhere
On mountain heights,
In woodlands aim with many a dream,
In valleys D4s with springs,
And on the cuEvfng capes OF every stream.
Thou who has taken to thyself the wings
OF morning 70 abide
Upon the secret places OF the sea,
And on far islands, where the tide
Visits the beauty OF untrodden shores,
Waiting for worshippers to come to thee
In thy great out-of-doorsi
To thee ! turn. to thee make my prayer.
God OF the open air.

Montezuma Journal: At the Teach

teachers presented Professor Black
with beautiful gold fob chain, as a
token of their appreciation of his high
character and faithful service as Super
intendent of schools of this county.
This is very fitting thing to do, as
Prof. Black has been unwearying in
his efforts to better the condition OF
our schools, in which work he has had
the friendship and cooperation of the
teachers. We hope he will continue
in the school work here.
