NOT 4 REMEDY.

There is so much complaint in this country of the service given by rail- roads under private ownership that 1t is interesting to notice what can be and is done under government ownership. In Italy there is trouble all the time over the government management. The Italian premier, Signor Giolitti, contin- ues to assure the Chamber that the government is keenly alive to the ne- cessity of reform in the national rail road service. The other day he defi- nitely pledged himself to legislation to regulate the service of the railroads and institute a permanent Parliament tary commission of surveillance. He declared that the Administration rigor- ously punished any derelicttons of duty on the part of railroad servants, and in one matter alone, the neglect to warm carriages, had inflicted 3O6 fines. It was from no want of care and will on the part of the management, he said, that railroad inconvenience existed. His protestations, however were rath- CT coldly received by the Chamber, which has had plenty of promises be- fore Meanwhile the service seems to grow worse every day. Complaints pour in from all parts of the country of the injury done to commerce. In Milan and Turin industries are serious I ly hampered by the difficulty of obtain ing coal. Deputies from north Italy describe the situation as intolerable. There is a growing conviction that the chief cause of trouble is to be sought in the complete demoralizatlon of the whole body of railroad officials, great and small, and that there will be no inn provement in the situation except through reorganization.
 And yet there are people in this coun- try who profess to look upon govern ment ownership and management as the cure for evils complained of. Ii evidently isn't, and it goes niga to be eyident that it never will be.

terprlse, responsibility, etc. These words express distractions which are composed of numerous concrete ele- ments. The concrete elements may have a determined seat; the abstrac- tons cannot have one.
 Let us take one of those distractions that indicate a particularity of human character-for instance, resolution. The psychological analysis will show that it IS a mere verbal summary 1f whole lot of psycho-p physical clements; it inn plies good memory, facility and quick ness of association of ideas, will power, self-relunce, the faculty of rapidly sus- pending exhibitions, the whole envelop- ed in an atmosphere of optimism and habitual hopefulness which admits no doubt of success.
 Even these composing elements are partly also distractions that may be reduced to further concretions. The or ganic substratum of these divers psych- ical clements are to be looked for in all

Louisa sInria-Maria Louise.

My sisters Louisa Maria,
 And l am Maria Louise. And you couldn't tell one from the
 other
 We're alike as a couple of peasl Our eyes are the same, and our dimpIes. And so are our noses and hair; exactly alike are our dresses
 And everything else that we wear. I'm dreadfull fond of Louisa, And It's nice for doll to be twins 1T your girl-mother knows you from But there's where the trouble begins! Why only just yesterday morning Louisa was naughty and cried, And mother said she just must punish And should go out for a ride; But just as the carriage was ready She bundled me into, my bed, And read me a lecture on manners, And carried Louisa instead It was had the blister the doctor Prescribed when Louisa was i'll, And they smothered me nearly in To keep her from having a chill! I shant know myself, I am certain, II things keep on longer tnlS way, z And my temper is getting quite ruined l scolded Louisa to-day. There's only one plan I can think of TO help it, and so I suppose, Though court plasters not at all pretty, I'd best put patch on my nose It's hard, but guess I shan't mind it If only dear mamma sees Which twin is Louisa Maria
 And which is Maria Louise.

4 THEORY AGAIN SHOCKED.

For some time it has been predicted that there was going to be a genuine revolt against the municipal extrava- gance and mismanagement in London. It has come. Up to midnight Satur- day the Municipal Reformers, as the revolters called themselves, had gained over twenty-five seats in the new Lon" don County council and had obtained a majority. This victory may, it is thought, retard the adoption of uni form rate of taxation for London, but it indicates a general uprising of those who have been taxed too much to car " on experiments with theory whose .iridescence is rapidly growing dinner and dinner.
 Perhaps 1t will continue to be believ- ed some in this country that municipal ownership will work miracles, but the reports that continue to come in of what 1t actually does must be stagger- ing to faith.

BUMP LANn BRAINS.
Max Nordau Administers a Whack to
 the Believers in Phyrenology.

Max Nordau Administers Whack to
 the Believers in Phyrenology.
 The anatomlco-nlorphological objec- lions to phrenology are uniersally known, and it sufllces to mention them briefly, says pr. Max Nordau in the London Graphic, The skull is not an eNact reproduction of the brain surface. The brain surface lifted out of the cranial cavity and covered with it's membranes, shows no bumps what ever; it is smooth, unless it contains a pathological tumor. After the mening- es have been taken off, one sees mani fold circumvolutions which may be more or less developed. convex or hat- tened, but rise in no single spot so far above the general level as to form what might be called bump.
 Physiology has to say against phreno- logy that it supposes an exact localiza- tion of the different human faculties in the brain. Now this supposition is far from being proved Hltzig and Terrier think they have demonstrated that there are differentiated centers in the ctrtex of the brain, at least for mus cular constructions. Goltz denies even tbat A. constattion apparently be- ycnd discussion seemed to be that of Broca according to which the seat of the faculty of speech should be the fcot of the third frontal circumvolution.
 In all the classical works on cerebral physiology you could read during these last forty years that a morbid condi tion of the circumvolution of Brocl causes aphasia. Now this dogmjl has just been overturned by Pierre Marie. He Mcuther, and sougues, have shown the brains of three persons that had been stricken for years with total aphasia, yet at whose post-mortem examination no lesion of Broca's cir cumvolution could be discovered. By this demonstration the only localiza- tion of a mental function on the brain surface that seemed certain has be- come dubious-nerilaps has been prov ed ineXistent.
 But the most striking objection to phrenology is the psychological. The iroJ'On that there could be a scat of, say, haughtiness, musical gift, imagi- nation, faithfulness, resolution, Is sim ply childish. It is precisely as if an intelligent foreigner came to England and endeavored to discover in London the seat of English liberty, free trade, civic pride. love of sport, spirit of en-

 He who has present in his mind the fact that each particularity of the is the result of the correct or perverse, energical or slack working of all parts of the brain, and, in fact, of the whole organism, will not pursue the absurd idea of rendering responsible for them determined portion of the barin, and of expecting to see and to palpate this portion on the brain sur face, or even on the skull

SOME QUIET BUT GREAT CHANGES.

SOME QUIET BUT GREAT CHANGES.
 How thoroughly and inevitably this is a world of change is Illustrated by what is going on in Kentucky. Most people are still believing that Kentucky is populated by beings whose chief de- lights are to talk horse and drink Ken lucky whisky. Those who so believe will have to revise one of their beliefs when they read the evidence of what is going on in Kentucky It is fast be- coming prohibition State. Within the last six months twenty-five counties, with 176 saloons have been conquered by the temperance folk and made to reinforce the other seventy dry coun- ties, leaving only twenty-four counties in which liquor can be sold legally, and some Of these are partly dry.
 Surprising, isn't it? But that isn't all. Virginia is another State whose people have had reputation for being plenty fond of alcoholic drinks. But here is tks Richmond Dispatch report ing that seranty-three of the one hun dred counties of Virginia and ST per cent. of the Incorporated towns have abolished the liquor saloon. This change in Virginia" says tue Rich

 Most people will call such changes as these for the better, and be encouraged by them to feel that things are going to continue to hold together.

MoRE MODERN pRoGREsS.

Money not only makes the mare go, but 1t makes some other things go whose going is not as pleasing to watch as that of the mare. It is making some Of the grandeur of Niagara Falls go, and now 1t is after the beauty of the Rangeley laker. A power company has a bill before the Maine legislature authorizing the further lowering of the water in several lakes of the Rangeley group, and people both in and out of Maine are taking an interest in it which 1t is to be hoped will not be fu- tile For instance, ex-Goyernor Long of Massachusetts has written letter to the opponents of the bill expressing hope that the legislature will not do anything to impair the attractiveness of the lakes, which every summer brings so many people into the lake regions, and in that way contributes so much revenue to that part of the State and so much pleasure to everybody" And the superintendent of State fish hatchery, who has been engaged in that work for many years, says that if the water in Rangeley and the other lakes be lowered six feet. as proposed, it will surely destroy fishing in the waters. H. M. Smith, acting commissioner of the United States bureau of fisheries, agrees that the proposed reduction of water would be serious menace to, the fish and fishing in the lakes.
 Of course we must have modern progress, and it is quite possible that we must have it in a way that wont leave much to please and gladden. the aeart of man. But it is permitted to hope that the beauties of the Rangeley lakes are going to be saved.

It isn't always safe to be critical with school children. A visitor from anoth- CT city on tour of inspection of the public schools came to West Phila- delphia school the other day when the pupils were writing original sentences on the blackboard, and found an op- portunity to air his pet hobby of avoid ing superfuity in the use of words One boy had written, 'The man sud- denly fell down." What is the need of the word down in that sentence?" asked the visitor. How else could the man fall? Over" promptly replied the boy vino had written the sentence. Backwards suggested another.

Many things are raised in this coun- try besides disturbances. In Mary land on the Chesapeake, near Crisfeld, MT. Lavalette owns 8 terrapin farm, which covers several acres, and on which he has more than $1000OO worth of diamond backs, ranging in size from that of ten-cent silver piece to the "buster' terrapin, which are worth as much as $16O dozen Nothing has been offered to epicures which can take the place of terrapin and champagne, and MT. Lavalette has never experience ed any trouble in selling the output of his farm. Terrapin are getting scarcer every year, until now large ones are worth their weight in silver. Less than seventy-fve years ago terrapin sold for as low as fifty cents for wag- onload.
