new year will be what we make II.
so far as our individual lives are con.

We are all after happiness. in one

even the martyrs Of old. were on the

Noticed the Omission.

Some dramatic authors seem to re-
gard construction as unnecessary
frills. On the first night OF the only
drama that the novelist, Miss Bradden.
wrote, scene was introduced in which
child was kidnapped from its mother.
At the end. when all were made happy,
so much had been left to the general
imagination that no pains had been
taken to effect the restoration of the
stolen child. or course it was an un.
workmanlike lapse on the part of the
dramatist, and it seemed to have
passed unnoticed until god leaned
over the gallery rail and solemnly in.
quired; Hi! What about that kid?"
The piece was swamped in food of
inextinguishable laughter.

A CRIME AGAINST CHILDREN

A baby is the most helpless OF all
creatures. Its very existence depends
in a very large measure upon tine ih-
tclligcncc and material love ana care
II the mother.
Doctor Glover, Of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College Faculty, has some
queer experiences at times, which
cause him to take to the sOlitudes
and phil0snphizc. "Now, here Is
lady Of at least average intelligence,
the good doctor says, 'in certain
town, and with children three. She
gave me a good scolding. and with
much vchcmencc and an elOcutionary
effort worthy OF better cause. de-
nOunccd the city government IN de-
tail, reviewed the many mistakes OF
the Mayor, the City Council, and the
Food Inspector. The lattcr, espc-
cially, while he stood out in the cold.
This TRADE and volublc exhibition OF
inucndo was all on account OF the
fact that she had been asked to com
ply with the city ordinance and have
her COW inspected and take out IL
ccnsc for selling milk. Now, the really
interesting part OF this conversation
(Which caused me alternately To laugh
and frown) was the statement on her
part that she was perfectly willing TO
have her COW Inspected, and To pay
for the same, but she most seriously
objected To the rest OF the programme.
In other wards, she wished 10 protect
the health OF her own baby, but her
ncighbor's children and their health
well, that didn't concern her.
This pure food ordinance, and
more particularly the part OF IL that
relates TO milk, Is largely in the IN
terest OF the children. 1t Is crime
all the more hcinous because OF their
innocence and inability to voice Il
protest. Why do we say children,
especially? Because, in the first
place, milk constitutes the chief diet
OF young children; in the second place
because, while IL is the most whole
some OF foods, yet 1t is the most dan
gerous. The number of children under
one year OF age that die in our cities
is appalling. Careful research has
revealed the fact that impure milk,
above all things, is the most respon-
siblc. All kinds Of germs OF disease
thrive in milk. While IL is important
to know that the COW from which the
milk comes is healthy, as matter of
| fact it is vastly more important that
| the milk, after being taken from the
COW, is handled in such manner as
to keep the germs OF disease out OF IL
and prevent the development OF germs
of all kinds. Absolute cleanliness is
Of first Importance. Cooling the milk
and keeping 1t at a low temperature is
absolutely necessary. No milk should
be sold from any dairy or household
where there is a contagious disease of
any description. The best guarantee
that the milk you buy is clean will be
your knowledge OF the way the dairy.
man keeps his house and his stables
The pure food ordinance is a success
a benefit to city Just in proportion
as 1t Is enforced.

Hawaii and the Chinese.

That ii is easy to annex trouble
while picking up supposedly Sool
thing is shown in the case of Hawaii
and the labor problem of those once
fruitful islands in the mid-Pacific. Chi
nese coolies have for years been barred
from the Hawaiian sugar fields, witt
the result that the sugar growing in
dustry, which is the hinge upon whic-
Hawaii's prosperity swings. is said 'te
be thing of the past.
The Hawaiians, we are told by Mr.
Dole, an authority on our new acquisi
tion,. have vainly tried to get alont
with Portuguese labor and then viii
Japanese. The cry is now for Chinese
and the argument put up by landown
ers and wage payers is that the prod
uct of the islands is all expended 70
the products of American labor. If tn
Hawaiian planters can get the kind 0
help they need the plantations will
yield millions of dollars every year t
add to our national wealth.

The laioric Paradox.

Freezing Is usually associated with
cold, but water can be frozen on red.
hot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the caloric para
dox. If drop of water Is placed on
redhot or white hot metal plate II
does not suddenly fash into steam un
der the influence of the great heat. It
does not even boil. 1t simply evapo-
rates quietly and slowly as 1t rolls
about the plate. Now, suppose that
the drop on the plate is a volatile liO-
uid like sulphurous acid. 1t will evap-
crate, and this evaporation will pro.
duce cold. Let a drop Of water fall
In the sulphurous acid drop, and 1t will
be frozen in spite of the heat. NJ. Bou
tigny thus froze water on white hot
platinum capsule. Faraday carried
this remarkable experiment even fur
ther Pouring some ether and solidi
fed carbonic acid gas on redhot plat
mum capsule, he formed spherOida
mass which evaporated very slow
~. He then brought some mercury
into contact with 1t. and this was in
stantly frozen. Now. mercury require:
a temperature of 40 degrees below zero
to solidify it. and here it was frozen OF
redhot platinum.

Healthy Homes.

It Is not many years since we went
10 overcrowded London and Glasgow
for examples of the budding of PEG
pie in confined and III ventilated quar-
tiers. Now we find most alarming con
ditions nearer home and notably in
Chicago and New York city. Tens Of
thousands of working folks live in tep
ements which are undrained and rot
ten, the breeding places of consump
ton and CHER diseases.
Bad as (ne accommodations are in
the poorer tenements, the tenants pay
more rent than would be required 70,
decent living rooms. The trouble |
that the latter are not to be had. New
building laws in the great cities ain
to correct the tenement evil. but the
are so strict as to make alterations
and repairs costly, and owners will no
abate the nuisances. Some owners
plead poverty. others fight the law ant
cause delays, while others still, it i
alleged, bride inspectors to conceal thu
truth, and the evil continues. A cam
paign for healthier tenements Is need
ed, but it is not likely to be pushes
until an epidemic threatening the Who'll
land enlists the country people on TIL
side of decency and humc1ity.
