A Nearby View Of Poverty.

Poverty respects no community, but
we are reminded by a London nurse,
who has. put her observations into a
book, that the symptoms Of this hui
man calamity vary according to locali-
ty. The nurse, a Miss Loane, has lived
among the poor and for the poor Of a
certain London district. She is not
disheartened at the task Of doing some
good even among the hopeless elements,
because she has discovered an under
current Of wholesome virtue which can
but encourage the philanthropist and
humanitarian. Kindness and g%enerosi-
ty, forgiveness and endurance, are
among the strong points Miss Loane
describes, but truth and honor are
lacking. :"The obligation to tell the
truth is by no ean generally recog
nized." Neither is the truth expected.
Miss Loane tells Of several cases
where struggling poor have secretly
helped themselves to triles which the
rich owners wouldn't miss-in fact,
would willingly give for the asking
because they were too proud to beg.
They have standards Of right and
wrong which they "durst' not ignore,
not through physical fear, but because
Of self respect. Tolerance for others
is a marked trait among the poor. "The
sinner and the criminal rarely meet
with harsh judgment. Cruelty to chill.
dren is perhaps the only sin uncom.
promisingly condemned"
On the whole this observer finds life
among the poor worthy Of all praise
and yet quite beyond the understanding
Of the upper classes" This makes II
difficult for outsiders to help the poor
Money, Miss Loane says, should not
be thrown down to the people of the
slums without consideration. Free
meals are an abomination, and vaca.
ton schools and 'happy evenings
come In for a scoring. One slum moth
er declared, $50 long as the Salvation
Army likes to feed my children ]
shan't do it," This mother, Miss
Loane believes, would care for her
children If the task was left to her
and she as we'll as her offspring would
be better off. "Pauperization' is the
term here applied to the methods OF
philanthropists. economists and sociolo
gists, who look at the problems of pow.
erty from a safe distance.

UNCLE REUBEN's SAYINGS.

It's dead easy to take a bull by the
horns, but the trouble comes in when
you let go.
The man who kicks at a dog and
breaks his toes against a fence feels
Just as much injured as If some one
had kicked at him and made a success
Of 1t.
If you are trading horses with a man
and own up to the spavins, you simply
put him in a dilemma. He doesn't
know whether to class you as a fool or
an honest man.
Once in awhile you may find a pearl
in an oyster on your plate, and once
in awhile you may meet up with graft
tude from a fellow man. but it's time
wasted looking for either.
Times have improved. A thousand
years ago kings were beheading their
subjects for grating. Today we sim
ply elevate them to higher Office and
better opportunities and show that hui
man nature has become merciful.-M.

Overeducation Of Girls.

In a recent number Of the New York
Medical Journal DR.. r. w. Parsons
takes strong, not to say heretical,
ground against parents and educators
who r fostering high mental ideals
for girls instead Of developing them
into womanly women. 'The delicate
organism and sensitive and highly de-
veloped system of our girls"
he says, "wereA never intended by the
Creator to undergo the stress and strain
Of the modern system of higher educa-
ton"
The American girl who knows a thou
sand things naturally despises her
more womanly sister who knows but
matters of the house. AS a wife, even
II she succeeds in getting married, she
Is not, DR.. Parsons contends, the COM
panion and helpmate that her great
grandmother was to her husband. But
then men, in the days before the ad-
vent of the high school, married wo-
men to grace the hearth and soothe
and support the spirit wounded in the
rough battle of life. They were not
attracted by girls who were pale, thin
and plain looking, with a peevish tenn
per caused by ill health and a cold ma
ture, because they could read Plato in
Greek and could grapple with the high
er mathematics. The remedies sug-
gested by DR.. Parsons for the evils
which he describes may be summed up
as less study and more life in the open
air.
Commenting on this, the British
Medical Journal notes that in Great
Britain also women are often educated
beyond their physical strength and that
there are English girls who ape the
ways and dress and speech of men.
Says this paper:
The "sweet girl graduate with her gold
en- hair Is not so conspicuous at Oxford
today as the robustly Independent person
whose fairy footsteps are easily traced
through the snow. We get the impression
that the girl athlete is not so common in
<AtileIlCd DIS SIZE lS mere. hockey ana tennis
help to save our maidens from anaemla
and neurasthenia. DR.. Parsons does not
touch on what seems to us the most
serious result of intellectual overpressure
in woman. 1t Is not merely her mind
that is unsexed, but her body loses much
Of the special charm that attracts men.
The ''bachelor girl cares nothing about
that, for she prefers freedom to the bonds
Of matrimony, but 1t is a serious thing
for the future Of the race.
The few college girls who 'ape'' the
ways of men are exceptional and would
doubtless have the same character
istics had they not gone to college.
Higher education leads to emulation
and rivalry. but it does not necessarily
warp w%omanhood from it's true des-
tiny.

Two Decades Of "Railroad Control,

Two Decades of RAILROAD COntrol.''
Twenty years ago the interstate COM
merce commission was organized and
empowered to look into the various
railroad problems Of the country and
secure observance Of the laws reguIat-
ing railroad operation. For the first
ten years of it's existence the commits
sion occupied itself primarily with
principles. 1t had to feel it's way, but
recently has become more aggressive.
There were few laws regulating inter-
state commerce twenty years ago.
Much of the time spent by the commits
sion was devoted to airing railroad
problems in the court for the purpose
Of securing judicial interpretations Of
existing statutes.
Since the passage Of the Elkins law
Of 1903 the interstate commerce COM
mission has been able in a measure to
enforce it's regulations-that is, to re-
duce law and opinion to practice. One
result is that healthy, we'll ordered
competition has in the main succeeded
cutthroat rivalry. Generally the public
mind has been enlightened on railway
matters and opinion directed toward
sound measures and fair dealing. AS a
medium Of regulation the commission
has q record Of prevention of evils to
its credit as we'll as a record Of positive
achievement. 1t is a fair trial of '.gov-
eminent by commission"
