John Selden, following Marcus Aurel-

we may say to our legislators, they
that govern best permit the least of
unnecessary noise. There has been
some Official response to the demands
of wakeful citizens and their physi
clans that night in the cities should be
less racked by the din of whistles and
bells. A few cities have suppressed
chimes and engine whistles during
the night-watches. In Massachusetts
the railroad commissioners have for
hidden whistling at certain railroad
crossings over a large part of the
state. The efforts of Mrs. Isaac Rice
to mutfle the voices of the tugboats

Is at the head of a Society for the
Suppression of Unnecessary Noise"
Largely in response to the demands of
this society, congress has recently en-
powered the board of supervising in
spectors of the steamboat inspection
service to establish regulations gov
erning the use of whistles as signals
by steam vessels and prohibiting use
less and unnecessary whistling. The
board has already forbidden unneces-
sary whistling in certain harbors, and
Is considering the possibility of sub
stituting melodious whistles for such

suppress noise have been presented
in state legislatures and city councils,

Lincoln, Ne5.-The foregoing list
shows the more important reform

tieth session. Other measures include
a law prohibiting railway companies
from employing night operators or
towermen under the age of twenty-one
years; bulk sales law; law abolish
ing bucket shors and law putting
breweries out of the saloon business.
So mucn reform legislation has been
enacted in Nebraska this year that the
legislature has easily gone beyond the
demands made by the people at the
last election. From the first day of
the session. the watchword of the leg
isature was Reform" On many OF
the more important measures political
lines seemed 10 have been entirely
wiped out. In very few OF the speeches
made at tie session just closed have
the political parties figured as such.

1t can hC safely said that this is the
first Legislature in Nebraskas history
that has carried out all of the prom

has been lobby throughout the ses-

been careful in its actions. 1t has

fact for a lobbyist.

The Charm of Children.

We know that we are merely repro
ducing what has been produced be-
fore: we are only living on a little
higher or a little lower scale, life
that has preceded us. Only the spirit
is different; only the soul is original
when we dare give it full play. This
is why little children are so charm
ing; this is the mystery that seems
to hover over and above them, as
vague, yet as palpable. as twilight
shadows. Their movements and their
gestures are of the spirit. They have
not been brought into dull con-
formity with the habits and conven-
tions of their elders; they behold life
as it is, and they enjoy it to the ut
most
They fit and fiutter about US. and
suddenly they disappear some becom-
ing the dull and hopeless people we
see growing up around US, and some
fleeing back into the hospitab!e courts
of heaven, recalled because they are
not fitted to deal competently with
the troubles of this world. And then
others come to take their places, SO
that We have a constant succession
of fresh and untried spirits. They

Dentistry as Profession For Women

Reports of the invasion by women
only and OF the steady increase in the
number OF selfsupporting women
have ceased to surprise any one.
That all things are possible to twenti-
eth century women is generally adj
mitted
Therefore nobody had much com
ment to make ON recent report from
the census bureau at Washington
which sets forth that the 1888 $40
women now at work In the United
States are following among others.
the callings of pilots. baggagemen,
brakemen, conductors, engine drivers
and firemen, switchmen. yardmen,
carriage and hack drivers, motormen.
ship carpenters roofers and skaters,
blacksmiths. machinists, boilermakers,
charcoal, coke and lime burners and
we'll bcrers.
A decade ago most OF these occupa,
tions had not been entered at all by
women. But what is surprising is the
statement that i'm New York there are
not more than seventeen women den
lists in good standing; that is. den
lists who conduct their business ac-
cording TO the ethics of the profession,
There are few women dentists in
Chicago.
Recently, when surprise was cN'
pressed regarding the comparatively
small number of women dentists, q
professor in a dental college replied:
Perhaps the reason so few women
choose the profession of dentist Is
that they think standing all day lcng
bending over The patients is too hard

just as hard work, but they do not de
mand so lons preliminary training.

that women are not so well adapted
for this work as men. In my ex.
perience | have met few experts
among women dentists. The reas n
for this don't know. They lack tho
particular touch, perhaps, necessary
TO do fine work. SOME men haven't
this touch either. There are plenty OF
