From the Philadelphia Ledger.

 XN AJoR CHARLES E. WOOD INVh RUFF, surgeon of the United States army, and rated an ex- pert in neurasthenia, makes the state- ment that the blonde is more inclined to crime than the brunette is. To back his startling assertion, the major presents an array of figures collected with great care. The defense of his theory is based largely on the statistics of Clinton prison. These statistics must be held to be instructive until some body, coming to the rescue Of the flaxen type shall find a prison stocked with the other sort.
 It is somewhat difficult to accept the asseverations of the major in the spirit of seriousness in which they are given. Reduced to a few words, they amount to the statement that the blonde Is the token of racial deterioration, and soon or late is to be eliminated. After this shall have been accomplished. however, the probability that crimes will still be committed. even by the unaccustomed hand of the brunette. must be recog- nized. The blonde is the product of the north. Drifting to the south, he experi- ences loss of vitality such as units him for the struggle of life, and crime becomes his refuge. Hence the prisoner

Opening TWenty-eighth Street

The new city council will have a big problem to handle when the question
 of permitting the city longer to be cut into slices by the railroads comes up. When it does come up it should be firmly met and decided once for all. If this city is to consist of isolated slices, let the fact be made known so that it may be accepted and the agitation ended. If, however, the city is to be rendered homogeneous as other cities have been by tunnels or viaducts or

From the Delineator.
 ''Wouldn't you just as lief have had . little brother as little sister?' asked Margarets mother.
 The little one hesitated moment and then said, "Well, mother, boys are rather noisy and troublesome, but-what with my bringing up and papa's bringing up and your bringing up he might not have turned out to be so very bad"'

THE TURKS NAME.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 American and English newspapers have a way of manglIng the name of the Sultan of Turkey. Often he is called simply "Abdul'-nothing more. Some times it is Abdul the Artful," "Abdul the Wary" The proper way to write the name is "Abd-ul- -Hamid," or as some would translate 1t, "Abd-'l-Hamid." This means 'servant Cor Slave) of the Praised One" i. e., God or Allah. The ''ul' or .l" merely represents the Arabic definite article, which in writing is always joined to the following word. "Abd' Is Q com mon first name with Mohammedans. as in Abdul -Kadir. Abd-ui-Latif, Abd-ul- Aziz. Abdul" with or without the pIhmid, makes nonsense, but no one seems to notice 1t.

 man who will admit he's liar gen. orally isn't as big a one as the fellow who won't.
 No matter how smart a mans wife thinks he fs' he knows he is great deal more.
 The thing that inspires a man to want a public office is how he hates to work for his living.
 If woman had to choose between a good figure and good complexion she would decide for the curly hair.
 There would be no objection to people thinking how smart they are if they would keep it to themselves.

of helpful compassion. It is nothing like as wicked to become intoxicatel, even to the extent of helplessness as 1t is to pass by persons who are disabled and in distress. A drunken man is not an object so excreable as to make others afraid unwilling to speak to him. In- stances in our own community have more than once come to public attention of disabled persons of perfect sobriety be- ing neglected because they were supposed to be intoxicated.
 The Good Samaritan who has become immoral through the Bible story de- scribing his benevolence, didn't go into the question of habits or character What he saw was fellow creature lying prone and helpless by the roadside. and he went promptly to his relief. The ex- perience of Burton R. Jarvis was truly horrible, but it is not more dreadful to contemplate than the hard and ptiless conduct of the persons who passed him by and refused him succor.
 Even a man who is drunk Is still a man, and if he is in the gutter he cannot defile the person who stoops to help bim. In any event the pre5u- dice against strong drink and the zeal for abstinence should never be so extreme as to lead any individual to pass a per- son on the street or in the public high way, who is down and out, without stop ping long enough to learn something about his condition. By adhering to this policy those who follow it will surely be benefited, even If 1t doesn't result in saving others.

is not a felon because he is light of hair and complexion, but because of certain qualities attendant upon such physical equipment, these qualities de- veloping along pernicious lines when the blonde has wandered from his nat ural habitat.
 Acceptance of this theory must upset a number of others that long have been unassailed The stage villain always has a dark eye, and the wig he wears is as the ravens wing. What the occa- sion demands for him is a steely blue eye and locks of tow. The bandit of the highway is portrayed invariably as swarthy, the truth being that to be con- sistent with the findings of the major he ought to be something between an albino and a strawberry roan, and sight the intimidating gun by gray and piercing eye.
 Even if in the process of elimination there come a time of scarcity in the normal blonde supply, the deficit will be made in some measure good by those who desire to be blondes and ac- complish their ambitions by artifice. It Is not likely this artifice will induce any normal change, the relation of morals to the color scheme not being so ab- soIutely established yet as such change would indicate.

THE LESSON OF A LIFE. He couldn't keep from thinkings The luck would turn some day, The sun would start to shining, The clouds would roll away. That's why he toiled undaunted, In spite of each reverse; Though trouble seemed to haunt him. He said it might be worse. He couldn't keep from dreaming About a golden time; Sometime-tomorrow, may be, When bells of bliss would chime; When sorrow would forsake him And all the world would bloom, And fortune would be smiling And joy would follow gloom. He couldn't keep from singing A little song of cheer, The while in vain he Nwaited For gladness to appear. He took without complaining What fortune chose to give, And though he died neglected, He taught men how to live.
