Greater Opportunity.

Wrong, forever wrong, who cry that
 Hope is deadl Because of one false step in other
 days; What man so weak, confessng he
 must tread That tortuous path of dark and devil
 ous Waysi False, also, is the cry of one who sang That Fortune knocks but once at
 every door; Yea! Even thrice has his knock loudly And smiled each time more fondly
 than before! And Optimist, thy fault lies in excess. Thy creed would wreck heart how
 ever brave; Life Is not starting every morn afresh The records kept from cradle to the
 grave Oh' poets, you have missed the con
 quering trait. Possessed by man has vanquished all
 save death "Persisteney," thy name is cen more Than all the bubbles blown by , fortunes breath!
 Tip, in the New York Press.

Connecticut is one of the States that has the indeterminate sentence, and it is expected to work well here, That 1t may is indicated by the experience of Indiana, which has had it for ten years. It appears that since 1897 there have been 3,643 releases from the two Indiana institutions. Of these 1868 conformed to the conditions of their paroles and were fully discharged; 2S1 were released from supervision by the expiration of their maximum terms; 7S died; 4O7 are still reporting, In other words, 75 per cent. of the entire num- Der so conducted themselves that they were not returned to prison. The re- maining 25 per cent. violated the con- ditions of their paroles in various ways,
 Under the old system restraint and control would have ceased when the men were discharged. It seems clear that supervision helped many of those who did we'll; that the knowledge that they might be returned to confinement re-enforced their good purposes. And if men can be saved to usefulness by the indeterminate sentence 1t is the good thing which its advocates say it is.

 The small salad plant botanieally known as fictitious and popularly called com salad has a thin leaf of sweet, delicate flavor. It can be usually found in our large markets from late in December until the first dandelions appear, as 1t is now cultivated com-. mercially. In it's stead watercress or any available salad green may be substituted, In any case, pick over the leaves thoroughly, removing stems and wilted portions and let stand in cold water to crisp and freshen. Drain then thoroughly batting dry on soft towel or cloth. Arrange in the salad bowl and either at the table or just before serving, sprinkle over this simple French dressing Mix together half tablespoonful of salt, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of black pepper and four tablesoonfuls Of olive oil Slowly drop in one tablespoonful of plain or tarragn vinegar, stirring until the two liquids are well blended then add an ounce to the salad. With this serve saltines and any preferred kind of cheese.

A Maine company is now manufact- uring turpentine from spruce pulp waste. Southern pine has hitherto formed almost the entire source of sup ply for this product. It is said that turpentine obtained as a by-product in the spruce pulp industry fulflls all the requirements of the article extracted
 from the southern pine, and is so close- ly allied to it that the average consum- CT cannot distinguish between them. The material now utilized in the man. ufacture of this new by-product was formerly consigned to the waste dump,

The New Orleans Times-Democrat says that unless something is soon done to check the evil Americans must soon become known as the most foul mouthed persons on earth,' referring to their common use of profanity. It thinks one great cause is the lack of a sufficient vocabulary to express what one conceives to be his thoughts. Tt is this faulty vocabulary that induces females to describe as awful things entirely dissociated from any feeling of awe, and as funny that which is mere ly odd. The male, with his greater freedom of speech, uses an oath to ex- press the same idea, which is not an idea, but merely futile attempt to ex- press that which is not conceived and which consequently cannot be ade- quately expressed"
