SUNDAY SERMON.

lions had been made for the event,
and when it was announced the
Young queen had given birth to a
son the glad tidings were hailed
with mingled feelings of enthusi-
fasm and emotion. In the rovaI
palace at Madrid was gathered a
brilliant assemblage of mobiles, func-
tlonaries, high church d1gnitaries
and the representatives of foreign
nations, to whom the tiny prince
was presented on silver tray for
personal inspection and to satisfy
curiosity. Meanwhile all business
at the Spanish capital was practical
~ suspended. Guns doomed, bells
pealed, flags were unfurled, and the
pOpulace shouted it's wild acclaim
of joy and qualification. Elsewhere
throughout the nation practi callv
the same scenes were enacted. for
the birth of a prince and heir to
the throne is regarded as a great
and important event to people living
under monarchial form of govern
ment. And in no other country in
the world, probably are such Ella
borate ceremonials observed in
celebra ton of such an event as in
Spain.
To the people of democratic
America an exhibition of this kind
seems little less than silly. Here
every baby born-that is to say
every male baby-is supposed to
have an equal chance to rise to the
highest distinction that can be
given an American cit1zen-the
presidency of the nation. ''All men
are born equal" says the great and
wise constitution of this country.
and che laws of this land are form
ulated and administered on this
theory. There is no heartburning
of expectancy over the possible ar
rival of a royal heir. no period of
uncertainty over the absence of
such event, and no particular curl
osity or interest over the birth of
one child more than another. other
than the natural curios1tyIand inter-
est taken in the succession Of family
names and fortunes. Such thing
as national holiday and general
celebration In honor of one child's
arrival would be quite out of the
question here.
And whaG of this poor little
prince who has been born to the
purple in SPAN? Pomp and elabor-
ate ceremonial have marked his ar
rival, and pomp, ceremonial and
stringent regulation will follow
every step of his future life. With
feelings, tastes, inclinations and
tendencies just the same as other
children, he will be hedged about
with rules and regulations and re-
strictions at every turn. And then
if he survives and reaches the
estate of manhood he will some
time be called on to don a crown
and sit on throne as a figure head
of government. And high officials
will pick for him a wife, with the
usual disregard for his own wishes
in the matter, and then the whole
program will be repeated.
Poor little fellow! His troubles
begun the moment he entered the
world and they will follow him to
his dying day. He is prince and
belongs to nation, but he will have
to pay-and dearly too-for all the
fiimsy, passing honors that may be
bestowed on him in future.

robbing the office where she was
employed, thereby inducing the
man to lay down his revolvers and
resulting in his capture. There is

NEW YORk'S NEW CUSTOM
HOUSE.

One person In every three hundred,
according to the New York State Com.
mission Of Lunacy, Ii insane enough to
be kept In an asylum. These figures,
Of course. apply to New York state
only. but they may be assumed to repre-.
sent tho whole country with reasonable
accuracy. The American people IRE bet.
ter on, therefore, In respect to insanity,
than the British. in England one per.
son In 272 Is cared for as insane. But
the facts are alarming, In spite Of that.
for insanity has been steadily increas.
Ing In New York since 1897, ana has
Onsldernbly more than held Its own In
proportion to the growth Of population.
II IL estimated that by the year 1865
I per cent Of the inhabitants Of Great
Britain will be In insane asylums, and
II the growth Of Insanity keeps up its
present rate In this country we may
rench that proportion some time
during the present century. One
fact brought out by the State
Commissions report IL interesting,
namely. that insanity IL notably
more prevalent among the foreign than
among the native born. Foreign horn
Inhabitants Of New York constitute
about ~ per cent Of Its population.
whereas the foreign born insane
amount to ~ per cent Of the total In.
sane. Recent years have shown n
large Increase In the proportion OF Rus.
SLAMS, Hungarians, Austrians and Ital.

part In bringing about the disparity

1907 THE BANNER YEAR FOR
LAKE TRAFFIC.

The Detroit River and the Sault ca.
mails are the two chief points for the
enumeration OF the vessels and car.
goes which carry and make up the
enormous traffic OF the American lakes,
the largest water.borne traffic In an
equal area In the world. Statistics
taken at these two points, pending the
tabulation and summing up Of the fig-
ures by ports, give fairly accurate
view Of the magnitude OF that traffic
4 preliminary bulletin on that basis
issued by the Department Of Commerce
and Labor shows that In total bulk
and In all important divisions save one
the lake traffic OF the season Of 1907
breaks all records. The exception Is,
OF course, the lumber traffic, which Is
dwIndllng because Of the reckless way
In which the great pine forests OF the
old Northwest have been exploited for
the last quarter century. No less than
2s,ss3, log tons of iron ore We're taken
from the Lake Superior mines this
year to feed the furnaces Of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Illinois. This was
nearly 100000 tons more than In 1904
and 100000 tons more than In 1903.
Most OF the wheat also passes the
Sault, although some goes eastward
from Lake Michigan ports and small
or amount from Lake Erie. The de-
partments bulletin shows that 56,153,-
55l bushels passed the Sault and only
S2,1Ol,s73 bushels passed Detroit, giving
Increases at the two checking points,
respectively, OF 40 and AZ per cent over
1906. These figures, unless there Is an
error In the departments printed bulle-
tin, raise an Interesting question. 1t

A BETTER METHOD.

The opening OF the winter term OF
the medical school connected with one
Of the London hospitals was marked
by some addresses which have attract.
ed considerable attention because Of
the plquant way In which some old
truths were presented. The subject
was the growth Of preventive medI.
cine; the increasing inclination Of ply.
sicians to devote themselves to stamp
Ing out disease In community rather
than to curing II In an individual. 4
little thought will. Of course. show that
this II true. The germ theory Of dis.
ease. with Its cOrollary, the use of anti.
toxins; the connection OF mosquitoes
with malaria and yellow fever. the as
ISOLATION Of rats and feas with the
bubonic plague. and OF goats with
Malta fever; the dangers Of polluted
water and impure milk; the spread Of
consumption through the dried sputum
Of sufferers from the disease-all these
things are part OF preventive medl.
cine. the purpose of which Is to keep
people well rather than to make them
well. One Of the speakers. with a lit.
tie unconscious pharisaism, declared
that medicine Is the only self-llmitlng
profession, the only one the ultimate
object OF which Is to produce condi.
lions which will make itself no longer
necessary. This sounds well ut first
hearing, but after all. Is not the same
thing true OF the ministry, teaching,
and in a large degree also OF the law?
The Chinese have worked along the
same line for thousands of years. They
pay their physicians a salary only so
long as the physicians keep them well.
When they fall sick they pay the doctor
nothing. Physicians who fear that even
the advance Of preventive medicine Is
going to eliminate the profession may
need to be reminded OF the army officer
who was leading his little command to
a place the distance OF which he did
not know. The first man he asked said
II was four miles. After marching an
hour he put the same question to an.
other man. "About four miles," was
his answer At the end OF another
hour he inquired Of third man. keep
