 Tn many instances the work of the explorer is delicate as well as difficult, says Isaac F.

FAVORs WAR ON TREATING.

Employer would Like to Hire OnIy
 Boys Who Oppose Practice.
 New York Tribune.
 "Only for the fear that I might be put down as insane by people who did
 not appreciate the situation" said a
 man recently at a boys club meeting, T would make places for my hoys in l the business which I have established
 conditional on their solemn promise not to treat and not to allow them selves to be treated
 If this man, who seems to have O
 horror for the treating system, is an American he has probably seen the
 practice, which may have had It's origin in good fellowship and hospitality de- generate and result in bluster. intem- perance and extravaganza. If he is a European he may have been educated in a place where men never think of
 paying for what other men eat or drink and would resent as an insult the efforts of any man to pay for them.
 Foreign or American. the man is far from being insane and the fact that antitreatlng societies have been in ex- istence in many parts of this country and that an antitreating campaign is now going on in New England shows that some people do appreciate the situation" The grewsome statistics re- gently published which show the mum ber of homicides committed in the United States in the last year, while giving drink" as the cause of many murders, say nothing as to how much the treating system dld toward the crimes.
 That 1t was a potent factor is be- yond doubt. and drunkenness and the c6rimes which follow In it's wake will always be the results of the unreason- able system which causes some men to drink to excess and to spend money beyond their ability in order to "get even" with other men.
 Years before the organization of the boys club to which the antitreatins discourse was delivered a popular clergy man who had devoted much time to the cause of temperance said In drawing comparisons between the men who drink what they wish and pay for 1t and those who are forced to dr nk because of the treating practice; For one class the dangers of drink be- come less and for the other they are greater"
 The "sociable" and "get even" sys- tenn will flourish cmfwy cmfwy cmfw tenn still flourishes and 1t will continue to do so until anttreating societies are looked upon seriously and men who advocate their formation cease to fear

Suburban Silence Club.

Some time aRo a curious club was formed In London. 1t was called the 'SiIence Club" Its membership was limited to ten all of whom were sea- son ticket-holders on Londan su- burban railway, and the subscription was six pence weekly. It was establish cd simply and solely to enable the members to read the paper on the way to town--the only occasion during the day on which the club met. The revenue derived from subscriptions was hand ed to the guard every Saturday morn ing, and, in consideration of this, he made 8 point of reserving carriage for the members.

 So far as known he was not an &C., tive candidate for the place. and 1t is said was selected solely on his merits. A native of New York, he was educa- ted at the Rensselaer, Polytechnic In- stitute and appointed to the navy from Pennsylvania after the usual exarpina- ton.
 He entered the service in September 1898, and for several years was sta tioned at the navy department as su- pervisor of the drafting force in the bureau of yards and docks. in which capacity he was identified with several important works of construction at va rious naval stations.
 Since February. 1903. he has been on duty at the Mare Island navy yard Cal, experimenting the construction of the big stone and concrete dry dock at that yard. He is still there. but will be detached in a few days. so that he may be prepared to assume his new duties In this city at the begin- ming of the new year.

Congressman Sulzer represents a densely populated district on the East Side of New York city. It occurred to him some months ago that though there are no gardens in his district some of his constituents might grow plants in boxes placed on window sllls or fire escapes. So he sent an assort- ment of seed to the inmates of a mod el tenement house owned by one of his friends. The latter met him a few days ago and said: See here. Sulzer, want you to cut that seed business. It's the limits' Why what's the mat ter?'' asked the astonished SuIzer, and he explained why he had sent the seeds. "Oh, you meant well, all right" returned the friend scornfully, but when I visited the place the other day found that about ten families were raising cabbage, cucumbers and toma- toes in the bath tubs"
