GUARDED BY CANNON.
Home Of q millionaire That Il
Armed Like an Ancient
Fortress.

In an old country like our own, with
its ancient traditions of respect for
law and order, firearms are seldom re-
sorted to al a protection against law
breakers.
In the United States, however.
things are widely different. s4t
Revolyers, rifles and even cannon
are called into service as protection
against thieves and rioters, and, when
necessary, the weapons are used with
far less provocation than would be the
case here.
An instance in point is the home Of
certain millionaire, which is guard
ed like u fortress, with perfect arse
nal Of weapons, including cannon and
howitzers, which can be fired by cleo
trio wires from the house.
In addition, the grounds surround
ing the mansion are fitted with thou
sands Of electric light bulbs, SO as to
be Instantly illuminated In case of at
tack.
Some Of the large factories, too, are
furnished with Maxim guns for use
against turbulent strikers.

IN. BEAUTIFUL BERMUDA.
A Holiday World with Its Wealth
Of Fragrant Easter
Lilies.

AS we wander through the streets
of the white city, houses and walls,
and even the square cisterns on the
hillsides, all of dazzling white, we ask
ourselves If It can really be Of the
earth earthly. but pennants and flags
of many colors, flying in all direc-
tions from the offing, speak to us
the language of terrestrials from
every quarter Of the globe, for Ber-
muda is the English halfway house
of the high seas, and here nations
meet, greet and part, writes Ellen
Wood Coombs, in Four Track News.
A holiday world it seems, with q
wealth and fragrance Of flowers to
complete the gala effect. Fields Of
Easter lilies nod their satin helmets
in the sunshine, and century-plants,
towering 20 feet above, throw out brill
liant candelabra Of blossoms in strik-
ing contrast. Waxen scrolls OF callas
peep through lattice and gateway, and
the nigh. blooming cereus, falling in
masses over the white walls, filings to
the darkness Of its own little world
the heavy perfume of its flowers.

lMBEcILE IMMIGRANTS.
The Law Excludes Idiots, But the
Feeble Minded and 1mbeciles
Are Let In.

1mbecile immigrants were discussed
at the recent New York conference on
immigration by Robert S. Watchorn,
commissioner, of immigration, says
American Medicine. He deplored the
fact that. while the law excluded
idiots. it did not mention the imbe-
Giles or the feeble-minded, who were
equally unfit for citizenship. There
is no dividing line between these
classes, SO that borderland cases are
admitted through political influence,
whereas they might be considered to
be idiots. It seems that such fine
technical distinctions really defeat the
purpose of the law. The word idiot
has general as we'll as technical
meaning. and includes the imbeciles,
and even the feeble minded. The law
evidently uses it in this broad sense,
for 1t is absurd to think its trainers
would have thought that lmbeciles and
the feeble-minded were proper kinds
Of immigrants. 1t was designed to
exclude persons who would become
public burdens, but 1t is well to In
~
quire whether 1t is not now time to
extend its application and to exclude
those who are SO feeble-minded that
they cannot be trusted with the fran
chise even If they are apparently able
to make living with pick and
shovel. These almost brainless ami
mails are pouring into the country at
a tremendous rate, and will propagate
their type, which is healthy normal
one, even IL lacking in intelligence.
1t Is beginning to be known that edu-
cation will not make these men more
intelligent and that we are filing the
country with unassimilable men who
can never become good citizens or an
cestors OF such. Democracy requires
brains. Wherever there is lack OF
intelligence there do we find political
corruption in every form and per-
version Of the democratic form of gov
ernment. Hordes of Russians can be
drilled as soldiers to fight those who
are struggling for freedom. and could
be used to destroy our freedom. We
seem to be laying up trouble for pos
terity.

CURIOSITY OF THE FEMALE
It Is the Character Of It That Nay
Be the Cause Of It's Con-
demnatdon.

As to a woman's curiosity, 1t may
be said at the outset that she is not
SO curious by an infinite measure. al
is man himself. Women, it is true are
|persistently and assidiously curious;
but men also are not only persistently
and assidiously but patiently and sys-
tematfcally curious. It is the char
acter of female curiosity that makes 1t
apparently contemplate, says the Ma
tional Magazine. Scientific men Of
every kind have no raison d'etre for
their infinitely patient research save
pure curiosity alone; and their curl
osity has no more purpose in it than
has the curiosity Of the woman who
cannot rest until she finds out all dis
coverable facts about her neighbors,
or the cause Of mysterious sound by
night.
These two forms Of curiosity, the
male and the female, originated no
doubt in the early needs of the race
long before men appeared on the
earth. The male animal is interested
in the causes Of remote things things
which, upon being run down, might
turn out useful for food purposes. The
female is interested In the quick in-
vestigation of near and small things
which may turn out menace to the
lives Of her young. The female
watches with intense and lively inter-
est the vicinity Of the nest or lair; the
male Is prompted to look abroad
away from the lair. in or towards
fields where his daily prey is found.
These two kinds Of curiosity were
among the most potent instruments in
the struggle for racial existence and
In the ultimate development of man. /.
