Consul Austin at Glasgow Talks of

tin, United States consul at Glasgow
in address at recent dinner of
the Glasgow Celtic Society, incidentally
spoke in praise of the beauty Of Washing
ton city and made pleasant reference to
Secretary Wilson and to VIM. H. Smith, su-
perintendent of the Botanic Garden, both of
whom of Scotch birth. Mr.. Austin said:
cat the beginning you will permit me, as
the representative of a country which owes
no small portion of it's prosperity and great
ness to the Xigor and enterprise Of Scotch
men and their descendants, to say how
highly l esteem this Lonor and the kindly
feelings which have prompted you in in
trusting me with this toast Of Kindred
societies. Long years ago, long before I
discovered that fate had decreed that
should be located in your midst as the rep
resentative of my country, had heard Of

lions of the gray city on the banks of the
famous Clyde. The majority of these socle-
ties l understand, have a benevolent pur-
pose: The disposition to do good is not con-
fined to any country or cline; it is as old
as civilization, and common to all mankind
But you find the philanthropic spirit, the
tendency to do good, burn brightest where
Christianizng influences have paved the
way.
II have said that Scotchmen and their de-
scendants have contributed their full share
to the upbuilding of the great American re-

 so firmly that they are planning to build more cottages where the boys may live in pleasant home surround yings. These men have the utmost faith in the method which separates one type of young offender from another, and brings out individual merits by discov- ering and removing individual defects. Parents Of wayward boys are coming to have the same faith. too, for fin some cases they contribute to the boys sup port according to their needs. which is point the court determines. the as- easements ranging from 50 cents to $2 a week. There are a few instances where well-to-do parents pay the full price, and would gladly pay any price to have their children subjected to the business-like method of reformation followed at Chauncey. But the Asylum prefers to take the children of the less fortunate. who compose the bulk of prisoners In chi1dren's courts today, and who, according to the Chauncey Idea. will, in eight or nine cases out of ten, become useful and honorable men if they can be given a new start and fair chance.

New York, Jan. 5.--It costs $206 q year to turn a bad boy into a good citizen. At least this is the latest figure reported by the New Fork Juve- nile Asylum, which, for more than half a century, has been engaged in the work of transforming street urchins of the metropolis into self-respecting men.
 The price of reformation like the price of almost everything else, is go- ing up. A few years ago the young vagrant or petty thief or ali-round rogue who was sent to the Asylum, cost S130 annually for clothing, food. lodging and the education by which he was polished up mentally and morally.

many of these boys the experience is a decided novelty. And as soon as the yopngster begins to feel like @ normal, healthy boy. his schooling begins. and if he is old enough he spends some of his time. in one. of the shops where trades are taught.
 The Juvenile Asylum authorities and people engaged in similar work have been trying to find correct answer to the question, What is a bad boy? Most of the boys committed by the children's court are classed as ungovernable, which means in nine cases out of ten that they have been playing hockey. Boys who play truant to go swimming, boys who chase a circus out Of town, boys who try to run away to sea--all these come under the head of ungoy- ernable. though the specialist knows that such delinquency Is in the blood and must come out and does not neces- sarily make a boy bad. In fact. the man who studies boys has an abiding faith in the ultimate goodness of the average boy The specialist knows from the returns in thousands of cases that as a general rule the youngster will walk straight after getting the right directions. Too often he cannot get these at home and a stumble brings him to court.
 While the price of making good boys and men out of wayward youngsters has gome up because of the new system of surrounding them with home infiu- ences. the directors and friends of the

The worst case<of frost" that the Government ever encountered in It's business of collecting duties from re- turning tourists was experienced when the customs officials examined the bag gage of PSI cabin passengers who ar- rived in New York on the North Ger man Lloyd steamer Friedrich der Crosse from Bremen. Every one of tha first and second cabin passengers made sworn declarations that they had pur- chased nothing abroad and that they had nothing dutiable in their personal effects.

 -six months ago I Was in raiif6sd accident. l was away from home. and did nothing, to recover damages. What course should have pursued? Woman Traveller.
 If you felt you were injured, you should have called in some physician not recommended by the company as your private medical adviser. You could then have, approached the com pany for damages. The reason Tor getting a doctor not recommended by the company Is obvious. Usually the company's physician is employed by the year, and there is always suspi- cion that he might be tempted to let this fact color his diagnosis of the case.
 This is undoubtedly an unjust thought as regards many men. but 1t is just as well for each side of the case to have its own witnesses. Suits for damages must be brought within certain time. If you were injured at that time, and clan prove 1t, 1t Is possible you can yet collect something unless you made settlement with the railroad.
 q am told that I can collect dam ages from a street car company for injuries received. but if the man who represents them says I cannot. what shall do?"--Miss Timidity.
 Do not take the law of your case from the claim agent or attorney Of .he company, who naturally argues on his side. If the company denies their liability, take the case to some good lawyer whom you know or who Is rec commended to you. Generally 1t is wise to get the opinion of an attorney who has a reputation as successful per sonal injury lawyer.
 'Tf Il carry an accident insurance, does that prevent my applying Tor damages to the company who owns the railroad, if am injured or the trainT An Anxious Woman.
 No. certainly not. Your accident in- surance will not interfere at all. On the other hand, 1t will be help to you. for if one company pays you &C., cjdeut indemnity, it will be hard for another company to deny that you are injured. Take your case. to some re- sponsible lawyer. You may be able to make some arrangements whereby he is to be paid. if he collects damages. Tn such an event you had better have g contract with him. if the amount IS large.
 "Please state how much can be re- covered when q person is killed In an accident"--A Bereaved Parent.
 In some States the amount recover able from death by accident Ia limited to s5O0O In many cases less is re- covered when a person dies than when a person is permanently injured and death does not ensue.

Great vlrtue Ia the Apple.

Cleveland Plaln Oealef.
 Many persons of excellent judgment will tell you that the apple In its per- fection is the finest fruit that nature provides fo man. It is not matter of surprise. therefore, that an enthusi- astic apple lover Is devoting hls time holds that apples and optimism are al- most synonymous terms and makes as- tonishing claims regarding the bene-, ficial effects of the fruit. Of all the peculiar beliefs that are designed to engage the attention of mankind none Is less harmful than this of the Apple Club The busy American fails to ap- preciate the pleasure as well as bene- fits that a liking for fruit will bring him. We are not the frult-loving peo- pie that our forefathers were and if the promoter of the new cult can re- new this ancient liking. his efforts are deserving of earnest encouragement.
