During the course Of many years of investigation
into the plant life of the world creating FORMS

principles he has applied TO the culture Of plants
might be applied that Of the human species, and
points the way a grander than the world
has ever seen The United States he considers the
most promising field for the application of such
ideas for "all that has been done for plants and
flowers by crossing, nature has already accom-

THE BABY A NATURAL vANDAL.

The ideality with which poets have surrounded
the period OF infancy scarcely harmonizes with the
definition of a baby given TO the visiting kinder
garten teachers ct De Witt Clinton High School
yesterday afternoon by Miss Susan z. Blow.
"A baby is natural vandal," she said. ''Froebel
has defined mind aboriginal energy seeking ex-
preston and this aboriginal energy manifess itself
in the baby in an instinct Of destruction which
leads it TO turn out drawers overturn tables and
tear to pieces anything that comes to its hands.
The French Revolution was manifestation OF the
same thing, namely, mans desire to every
thing down and make life God created man
in His image, and man wants TO be like his
Creator and go creating from the moment Of
his birth. Education should begin with the begin
ming Of life II you let children until they are
six you can probably never catch up with them

GLEANINGS.

An English bishop has recently been putting In
good word for the much abused bazaar for, in add-
ton 10 the financial profit his lordship finds that
such methods OF raising money contribute to
social benefit and spiritual advancement" An
other bishop has been making sympathetic ref
erence 10 the position of the cergymans wife
The bishop observes that the clergymans wife
has to attend to her home and bring up her family
and the time be a rather more active
and ubiquitous person than the parson himself. In
many cases the wife OF the clergyman in a poor
parish has broken down by attempting to do what
IS impossible This sort Of thing has destroyed
and still continues 20 destroy many valuable lives
every year
The bishop wishes this burden lightened
by the voluntary offer of large bodies OF other
women TO form centres of usefulness from which
they 60 out and do the same work as the
clcrgymen's wives. Commenting upon the bishops
plan. London paper remarks that. while 1t might
help. nobody really take the place of the
clergyman's wife except her grown-up daugh-
ters.
The japanese government intends to dispatch TO
Brazilian waters a steamship fitted up a float
ing exhibition of japanese goods. The object will
be TO NrfnS the notice of Brazil the different
products of japanese manufacture, with a view OF
establishing trade relations between Brazil and
Japan.

MURDER CONFESSION FALSE.
"sIayer" Of Sarah shafer in Prison at
Time of Crime.

Elkhart Ind, Jan. 2.-That Frank
Barger, alias Berger, made a fake con-
fession of the murder of Miss Sarah
Shafer the Latin teacher at Bedford,
Ind, was learned today by Elkhart
county officers who received a tele-
gram from Warden l.. b. Gould of
Ohio prison at Columbus The Bed
ford murder occurred on the night of
Jan. 21, 1904. and Berger was released
from the Ohio prison July 25, 1904,
over six months later
Officers thought they were near a
solution of the Bedford mystery, Ber-
gers story having apparently given
valuable cleW In creating furore
and leading the officers on a wild
chase Berger's trick worked admira-
bly,. He wanted the notoriety of being
hanged for the Shafer murder, but his
effort to put his neck i'm moose has
been balked by Information sent out
from the Ohio prison
Berger is held at the county jail in
Goshen under suspended sentence of
two to fourteen years for shooting an
Elkhart police officer.
He was held pending an investiga-
tion by the Bedford authorities, but
will now be sentenced to Michigan
City. sN.

HUGHES MESSAGE
SENT in TODAY
SOME or THE IMPORTANT REC
CONCENTRATIONS.
His Principal Suggestions Are Along
Election Lines and Some of Them
Are of Vital lmportance--chId La
Dor Receives Attention.

Albany, N. ". Jan. 2.-Last nights
caucuses settled all possible contro-
versies which might have made the
opening of the Legislature today other
than perfunctory and when the two
houses convened at noon there was less
public concern in the ceremonies and
Ia slnaller attendance than last year
when a hot contest for the speakership
has just closed.
Interest centered In the message Of
Governor Hughes.
Among other things he made the
following recommendations:
A recount OF the votes cast for may
or in the New York city election. In
1905. when on the face of the returns
w. B. Hearst was defeated by George
B. Mcclellan.
That the courts be empowered to
order recount summarily In the fu-
ture and that power to bring an action
to try the title to an Office be taken
from the attorney general and con-
ferred upon the supreme court
Adoption of a new ballot whereon
the name Of candidate will appear
but once.
That the courts be empowered to
review the acts Of political state com
ventions and state committees in ex-
pelling delegates and members.
That any general committee of a
party may adopt rules for direct nom
nations Of candidates at the primar-
les.
That children under 16 years of age
be not required to work more than
eight hours day and that work in
which they may not engage be speci-
fed more precisely.

horses were roasted to death and prop

today in the worst early morning fire
New York has seen In many months.
One big tenement house at 437 west
Fifty third street and large board

street were destroyed.
Seven tenement houses at 426-434
west Fifty third street and 436 and
43S west Fifty-fourth street were badly
damaged.
Lack of adequate water pressure Is
said to have been largely responsible
for the extent of the fire. Had not one
of the big fire boats, which drew it's
water supply from the Hudson river,
come to the rescue the loss must have
been much greater
One of the worst features OF the fire
was the tremendous crowd which gath
cred in the streets around the burning
district and the attendant disorder and
lawlessness.
So great was the crowd that all the
police, who had been called to the
scene, had difficulty in preserving any
thing like order in the streets and for
a time thieves were given almost a
free hand to loot the burned build
ings

alarming spread of the San Jose scale.

RUSSIAN IMPROVEMENTS.
Peasants Are Being Given Tracts Of
Land Under Proclamation.

ST. Petersburg, jan Government
officials are today alloting to the pea
SAINTS large tracts of land at very low
prices in the regions of Mini Norge
rod. Kostrema and Viatka where the
the famine Is most acute. The farms
are partly stocked on the government
loan system. 1t is plain, however,
that this generous action on the part
OF the government Is to detach the
peasants who care little for politics,
from the revolutionary movement, by
settling the agrarian problem as far
as It Is solvable. Jews are now being
admitted to the technical institutions
IN larger numbers than ever before
and In some cases they now number
40 per cent Of the whole The minis-
ter Of public instruction has prepar-
ed bill to allow the Jews open ed
ucational establishments on the same
lines as all Russian Institutions. Com
pulsory education Ii also about to be
introduced. The government ii doing
all In It's power TO relieve the terri
BILE distress but the local governors are
differing the supplies and reselling
them.
