JohD Bunyan will have grounds for
a grndge against President Roosevelt
as long as Pilgrims Progress endures,
according to a writer in The Lincoln
(Neb } journal. The journal writer
explains: "As was frequently.
remarked at the time OF the presidents
now famous muekrake speech, the
muckraker of Bunyon was not q
stirrer up of scandal, finger Of fiith
into peoples faces, but tire man who
devoted himself to the requirement OF
filthy lucre to the neglect OF higher
things. In the spirit of Pilgrims
Progress the man with the muckrake
would be Mr.. Rockefeller himself, not
the expCser of Rockefeller. In b
sense it is unfortunate that the tern.
came thus to be misapplied, for nc
better word for The money grubbcr
could have been found than the title of
muckraker. On the other hand the
word, with its unsavory significance
does an injustice when applied to the
numerous authors whose literature Of
exposure has FASTENED greatly the day
of cleansing. But as the battle of
Breeds hill can never be anything to
Americans but the battle of BuAker
Hill. because they got started to
calling it that way, so the muckraker
will always be a Lincoln, Stefens
instead Of a Russell Sage"

The Morals of MsmmOn.

Colonel LumpkiD, John McAuley
Pdlmer's amusing philosopher,
delivers himself in the July McClure's
OF some ideas on the question Of The
morals Of Mammon. Some people
may say that Mammon hasn't any
morals, but Colonel Lumpkin believes
that Mammon ha. morals of his own
peculiar kind, quite divergent,
however, from what the common
people Of today are wont to consider
as the right rules OF conduct. Colonel
Lumpkin's address is full Of shafts
well tipped with sarcasm and if
Mammon is merely misguided in
thinking bis view is right. Colonel
Lumpkin will surely wake him up.
Underneath Colonel Lumpkin' Is
amusing banter is a very powerful
arrangement Of the modern attitude of
capital toward ideols of right and
Justice.

Birth and Death Rate

England IS the healthIest country 10
Europe, having a death-rate Of 1876
per 1000 in 1905. Germany and
France bave practically the same rate,
abont 1875. Everywhere the death
rate is decreasing, and it will continue
to decrease as medical and sanitary
cleDce improve, But if it continually
decreases, that unpleasant fact of the
end of life must cease to be some time,
must 1t not? On the other hand, The
birth-rate seems to be decreasing
almost everywhere. If it keeps on
decreasing, there will be no more
births, will thereP Fortunately, none
will be needed if the other rate does Its
duty and disappears altogether -

GirdIed Grapes.

glrdles a few to have them for earlier
use as 1t advances the ripening 10 to
II days, says a writer IN Rural New
Yorker. When ripe no apparent
change in quality noticeable.
Where it is largely done, as l have
seer on the shores of Seneca Lake,
they have a tool that clasps around
the vine and having a knife on each
edge at right angles to the vine, it is
a4ld somewhat like a PAIR OF pinchers.
With one urn around the bark it IS
severed in two parallel cuts about an
inch apart, and the Intervening bark
Is easily removed. The object is to
retard the return of the sap, which
seems to or does stimulate the

treated on the vine at the same time,
and it seems to do no injury to the
