NEW SEVEN WONDERS.

The seven world wonders of antiqui-
ty were:
The Pyramids, Baby Ions Gardens,
Mausolu>'s Tomb, the Temple OF
D ana, the Colossus of Rhodes, Jupi-
ter's Statue by Phi dias, and the
Pnaros of E gypt, or, as some substi
tute, the Palace of Cyrus.
The sewn wonders of the middle
ages were:
The Coliseum of Rome, the Cata-
combs of Alexandria, the Great Wall
of China, Stonehenge, the Leaning
Tower of Pisa, the Porcelain Tower
of Nankin and the Mosque of St.
Sophia at Constantinople.
How will these compare with the
seven wonders of the modern world !?
Perhaps there may be difference Of
opinion as regards the later day won
ders, but permit me to name these:
The Steam Railroad, the Telegraph,
the Telephone, the Wirless Telegraph,
the Ocean Steamship, the Submarine
Man of War and the Airship.
We of the new world have a few
wonders, seven of which are:
The Brooklyn bridge, the Under
ground railroad, including tunnels to
Jersey City and Brooklyn; the Wash
ington monument, the capitol at
Washington, with its dome, weighing
5000 900 pounds; the modern steel
skyscraper, the Echo mountain search
light of 375,OOO,OOG candle-power, and
the United States Steel corporation.
We are speaking of things made by
man; of those wonders given to us by
God the seven are:
Niagara Falls, the Mammoth Cave,
Faithful, the tireless geyser in Yellow
stone Park, the big trees (Sequoia) of
California, the Grand Canyon of
Colorado, the great fresh water lakes,
and the Great Salt Lake.

Tartar is more easily prevented
than removed. Prevention may be
compassed by any ordinary tooth
powder and brush. Removal ne.
cessitates either the DENTISTS scaling
instruments or the use of acids. The
danger with acids is ther power of
destroying the enamel of the teeth
and so opening the way for decay.
Still, following plan, if carefully car
ried out, will not involve much risk:
Add Is drops of dilute hydrchloride
acide to two teaspoonfuls of water.
Make small roll of a fragment of
unbleached calic. Dip in the liquid
and rub brskly over the teeth. Then
apply soft brush dipped in water
and covered with camphorated chalk.
Finally, rinse the mouth with water.

OUR FARMER BOYS.

One of the most prominent facts in
our social developments has been the
number of farmer boys who come to
our large cities in search of a for
tune.
AS rule, they are an ambitious
and energetic class, with strong bod
les and firm wills that usually carry
them on to final success. 1t would
astonish great many of US to study
the biographies of our most success
ful men, and find how many were
reared upon farms. 1t would seem
to US as if the generations brought up
in oul cities never amounted to any,
thing, or that they were always push.
ed to the wall by the ambitious coun-
try boy. Of course American cities
are of very recent growth, and their
populations are to large extent
gathered from the surrouding country
But nevertheless the fact remains that
the enterprising and progressive
element has always come from the
country, and that every city needs
the constant supply of farm boys to
prevent it from becoming backward
or stationary.
1t has often been asked why the
farmer boy leaves his home for the
city. Ambition in the most cases is
said to be the explanation. He feels
that there are grand possibilities in
every city, and that life on farm is
too slow and quiet. Others ascribe
this city fever to the hard work which
the boy is forced to do on the farm.
1t is said that too many farmers work
their sons aa if they were hired men,
and all the work possible must be got
out of them. They do not seem to
think that's a boy cares to do anything
else besides work. The boy wants to
live full life, partaking somewhat OF
it's pleasures and of it's culture. But
while the farmers girls are allowed
many of the regnements of their city
cousins, everything is thought too
good for the farmers boys. When
the rest of tpe family are seeing visi.
tors in the parlor, the boys are shut
up in the kitchen with the hired man
They are often looked upon an in
ferris, good enough to follow the plow
and highly useful and ornamental in
harvest time, but so far as social and
mental culture is concerned they are
never thought Of The result is that
the farmer boy is sometimes awkward
and ungainly, shy and diffident in the
society Of strangers, and always pain.
fully self-conscious of his rough hands
and rnsty boots. Now if the farmer
who works his sons so hard, would
make up his mind to give them little
enjoyment, little opportunity to cul-
tivate their social instincts and their
taste for the finer things of life, be
he would find that they would not be
leaving him so soon for the city.
They have their high hopes, and
their keen intelligence tells them that
they can do better than snbmit to
drudgery on farm. But if life on
the farm is made something more
than work for them, if they are made
sharers in the refnements of cultured
homes they will not look so longingly
to the great cities. If farm life is
made pleasant for the boys, they will
carry out their ambitious undcrtak.

HOW DEAD IS HEY

Perhaps the most interesting Of the remaining questions is, How dead is Hearst? He doesn't call himself very dead. He says: T am enlisted in this fight against the people in government by the trusts and corrupt corporations, and I will fight it out to the end. But I will serve in the lead or in the ranks, just exactly as the people desire, and as earnestly and loyalty in one place as in the other. The people have decided to retain the Republican party in pow CT. I will make my fight in the ranks, therefore and, as a private citizen, do my best to promote the interests of my fellow citizens" Those who believe that Hearst is thoroughly insincere wont believe that this utterance means anything more than desire for another nomination-for governor or president. Time will tell. Meanwhile those who have been fighting him are so glad that he is down that they are hugging them- selves and each other. They hope that he Is out as well as down, Perhaps it isn't safe to calculate much on what this bold and mysterious man may yet do or try to do. His circulation is large, and he may have learned to like to circulate as he has been doing, and get such knocks as he. has been get ting.

4 GOOD B1oW AT 4 FAD CUSTOM.

4 GOOD BLOW AT 4 BAD CUSTOM
 Bishop Stang of Fall River writes good pastoral letters. In his latest he exherts his clergy to make war upon bad papers, lurid posters, etc., and to tell their parishioners to keep the chill dren off the streets at night. Then he takes up another matter. 'The eel ebration of holy matrimony," he says lis often followed by ribaldry and of fenslve merriment. The day that should be observed with reverence and serious reflection as the entrance into a sancti- fled state of life is turned into one of riot and shameless frolic by those who should follow the newly welded couple with prayers and good wishes. You will denounce with righteous indigna- tion all silly and pagan customs that are desecrating the Christian wedding day and you will threaten with due punishment all future offenders, The fair name of Catholic should no longer be disgraced by such noisy marauders and disreputable rowdies, who under the plea of fun and amusement bring dishonor on the church and scandalize the weak"
 That is hearty blow at a crying evil Ministers of other denominations might well follow the example set by Bishop Stang.

4 LESSON FOR THE UNITED STATES


 Perhaps our Panama canal will not be finished as soon as we now think and perhaps when 1t is finished it wont be done. The Suez canal, which was
 finished" in 1869, is not yet done. Work that is now in progress on 1t will effect the removal of nearly six million and @ half cubic meters of earth, and five years will be required for it's comple- tion, Since the canal was formally opened in 1869, a little more than ten years after digging was begun, it has been once widened and deepened to &C., commodate increasing traffic and the greater draft of modern shipping, while apart from Improvements that are made permanent from time to time, continuous dredging has been going on, especially to keep the channel at the Suez end open where the prevailing winds and the muddy nature of the soil tend to dam it up. The canal company has on hand some six million dollars worth of floating material and maohin- cry which find pretty steady employ ment in taking care of the canal and overhauling it at various points to maintain it's efficiency in serving the constantly developing traffic; and there is now an available working capital of about ten million dollars for such per manent improvements in addition to the ordinary revenues, which latter are set aside for maintenance and repairs. Of course we ought to make our canal at first so that it wont need constant tinkering. The experience at Suez is that, after thirty-ive years of active business, improvements barely keep pace with the shipping demand fol greater width, greater depth and better facilities. The Suez canal was hardly up to the requirements even at the time it was opened, as the construction com pany lacked capital to do the work on so large a scale.

AGITATION IN THE rRANsrAAL.

The Europeans in the Transvaal are in state of great excitement over the fate of their new ordinance for the reg istration of Asiatics, from which royal consent has been withheld until a dele gatton of Asiatics shall have had an opportunity to present their side of the case in London, The Europeans main- tain that if the Transvaal be opened to free Asiatic immigration, the skilled trades and retail commerce will inevit- ably be taken from the white, and in fifty years the population will resemble that of India and Mauritlus. Euro peans will cease to be anything but a small ruling class. The policy of the present administration is to exclude further immigration pending the es- tablishment of responsible government, and at the same time to extend great CT privilege to Asiatics already entitled to dwell in the colony. The ordinance provides for the complete registration of all .Asiatics in way to control fresh immigration The new registration will, it is declared, give
The daily morning journal and courier., 1906-11-08

firm title to Asiatics already domiciled and do much to protect them from harassing interference in the future. At the same time Aslatics will be re- lleved from the obnoxious registration fee and will receive title to their land and mosques, the refusal of which hith- erto has been standing grievance.
 The ordinance Is a matter of more than local importance, as 1t affects the union of South Africa. The Trans vaal is determined to prevent any wholesale influx of Natal ceolies.
