NOVEL CURES FOR SNORING.
Case of Offending Policeman Sug-
gests Remedies for Disease.

gests Remedies for Disease.
Very many of our readers will be
interested in the ultimate fate Of the
unfortunate snoring policeman who has
been banlshed from his fellow sleepers
and Gagged at night in sound-proof quar-
ters. Perhaps the dreadful infirmity,
now that it has the official recognition
of his superiors, may call for some
suitable scientific treatment. If so the
great army of snorers can covertly
watch the outcome with all the cunning
and complacency Of undiscovered trans
gressors.
We are glad we can make the start
with a perfectly fair case, for convic-
tion of the nuisance Is always most diff
ficult to obtain. The cuiprit must be
caught with the snore on him and in
the presence of reliable ear witnesses.
No one has ever been known to ac-
knowledge his fault coluntarily. On

Alfred Mosely, the English philan-
thropist, is warm friend of America.
lie has shown his appreciation of this
country in a number of convincing
ways. He has sent several special
commissions across the water in order
that England might be improved by
reason of the advances made in Amer
lea. He has given added impetus to
the schools of England by sending many
teachers to the United States to OBJ
serve and learn. He himself has
studied this country from many points
or view, and studied it not from the
standpoint of hostile critic but from
that of one who seeks to know In or
der to improve himself. For these rea-
sons the opinions of Mr.. MOsely are
entitled to great respect, and when he
expresses his belief that the high stand
ard Of living is real peril to Amer
lea it Is worth while to consider the
subject. This high living often ap-
proaches ruthless extravaganza. he
says, the luXuries of yesterday being

action is bound to come, and when it
does 1t Will be attended by disaster.
No one can doubt that Americans, as a
rule, live well. But they can afford to.
Some or them are spending all they
make, some more than they make, but
others have accounts in the savings
banks to show that they are not un-
mindful of the possible rainy day"
ahead Of them. There are some fea-
lures of present American social con-
ditions which are distinctly gratifying
and which are working directly against
the dangers which appear on the sur
race when foreigner looks at some
particular phase of life. The danger
from the high living does not seem so
important as the other suggestion that
American prosperity Is leading to in
efficiency and corruption. "In bygone
years. Mr. Mosely notes, zone was i'm
pressed with the thorough way in which
everything was done and every detail
thought out, but the same is not true
to-day. On the contrary, there are
signs that everything is becoming Slip
shod. Work is inefficiently done and
badly finished" That Is common
charge brought by foreigners against
American methods. 1t Is said that we
do not build for all time but for a few
years only. 1t Is said that our prod
ucts are not comparable for nicely and
precision with the output of the manu-
featuring establishments of the old
world. We have been fairly content
with the results when American made
goods have come into competition with
those of other nations, and yet even
this good record should not blind us If
there Is such a marked deterioration in
workmanship that it is noticed by a
careful observer. Mr.. Mosely thinks
everything overdone and overcrowded.
Everybody appears to be in too great a
hurry, so that in the race for success
and wealth many Of the former good
characteristics of the country are dis
appearing. But the same things have
been noted by travellers for hundred
years Americans have always been in
hurry.
