will discover a petrified What-Is-It in
one of the gone-away and forgotten

to come back the day he went, for be
it said the peculiar physical conditions

Ihere's question. though, whether the
women generally will be pleased with
this analysis. Most of them have ever
appeared to be rather proud of the
hitherto accepted fact that their happy
knack OF arriving at conclusions and
solving problems had been due to
mysterious force with which they are
supposed to have been blessed. And
this mysterious talent of theirs has al
ways been referred to as intuition.

A young man in Virginia is being
made the target for all sorts of fine
compliments because. while on a
hunting trip. he had the sense and
presence of mind" to empty both bar
rels of his gun into bear which
crossed his path. Pray tell. but
wasn't that the most natural thing for
him to do under the circumstances?
Perhaps, though, the hunting customs
in Virginia demand that a man with
a loaded gun shall turn around and
run when he meets a bear.

MENTAL HEALING.

1t is pleasing to hear from Boston
that Tufts college has added to It's
curriculum a course in mental healing:
DR.. Morton Prince, an authority OF
considerable eminence on nervous dis
orders, will give the course of lectures
and the subject will be studied from
purely scientific standpoint.
1t Is high time for the educational
institutions of the country to be taking
some notice of a fact so we'll estab-
lished, so beneficent and so full of pos
sibilities as the curing of physical Ills
by mental suggestion. 1t cannot be de-
MED because 1t is matter of personal
knowledge with tens of thousands. And
the province of learning is not to try
to deny facts but to welcome them, and
set about an explanation of them.
Naturally the first manifestations of
mental healing were attributed to
supernatural agencies. When some
thing new appears under the sun and
people see 1t and know it for q fact, ii
the men of science then refuse to rec
ognize 1t the unlearned will proceed to
classify it as black art or a direct

NEW RAILS ARE NEEDED.

In the very recent past there have
been several railroad wrecks due to de-
railment. Two years ago such dis
asters were charged to the alleged in
ferior steel furnished by the Besseme-
process. which was said to be unequal
to the stress of the enormous traffic
handled.
Since about that time the railroads
have not been conspicuouSly in the
market for rails, Bessemer or other
There has been a considerable percent
age of increase in the operation of all
steel plants except the rail mills 1t is,
therefore, a fair inference that recent
wrecks are chargeable to worn out
rails rather than to inferior steel.
The fact that roads have been able to
run for a year without renewals may
be taken to indicate a better quality OF
steel in the rails than railroad man.
ayers were willing to admit during the
conferences with the manufacturers a
little more than a year ago. At the
very least some of these rails are wear
ing overtime.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

FRON OTHER PENS
THE FINAL STAGES.

The campaign is now in its final
stages. For the four weeks yet ahead
there is much to say pro and con, and
the people are in a mood to lend at
tentive ear. They want to hear facts,
not squabbles. They want, in the
main, Information concerning the is
sues, not information concerning the
personal purity of Tom, Dick or Harry
They want things laid before them one
at a time, not hurled at their defense
less heads in punches and clusters.
They want a chance to think things
over-calmly and with intelligence.
They would, we verify believe. appre-
ciate a little less racket.
We hope everybody who is a party
to the contest will gee down to brass
tacks from this date to the finish. 1t
is a great fight; the prize is a dazzling
one. The generals in command are
good men and true; the people admire
them all. Uncle Sam" is the biggest,
most indulgent parent in the world,
we believe. He knows the members
of his family will fall out among them
selves and cut up in rather scandalous
fashion at times. But he adheres to
the theory that it will all come out
right in the end.-Washingto Herald.

CAUSE OF FOREST FIRES.

James s. Whipple, the New York for
est, fish and game commissioner, has
called the attention of the New York
public service commission to the ad-
visibility of substituting oil for coal on
the railroads traversing the Catskill
and Adirondack forest. The point
taken is an excellent one, and all rail-
roads running through vast timber
tracts should be obliged to use oil I'M
der their locomotive boilers. The
sparks from hurrying engines set by
far the largest share of forest fires.
and they are a constant source os
worry to timber landowners. Commits
sioner Whipple says that IS per cent
of the forest fires are caused by trains,
and that during the past 40 days 300
fires have been started in New York
state through that agency. The New
York forest commission has had 1000
men patroling and guarding against
fire along the railroads in the north
woods this summer. and even then the
great CONGREGATIONS have ragged almost
at will.-Springfield Republican.
