THE GREAT AMERICAN HEN.

The wonder of the hen grows with
contemplation. Here Is a creature,
not a native OF the country. but an
immigrant at that. who Is producing
more wealth than all the mines OF the
country, and as much as all but the
first three or four of the great agri.
cultural staples. Yet how little she Is
known and how little appreciated! We
laugh at her awkward walk and her
still more awkward run; at her per.
sistent habit OF crossing the road In
front OF a carriage. and then crossing
back again: end her seriousminded-
ness over what seem 10 Us small con.
Germs has given new descriptive

hen. 1t has produced many books
about her. the latest OF which. Just

country. There Is much In the little
monograph that will prove useful both
to those who keep hens and to those
who eat eggs. In spite OF the great
increase In the poultry industry dur
ing the last auarter-century. the sup.
ply has not kept pace with the de-.
mand, as Is shown by the fact that
the price Of eggs has been rising for
the past ten or twelve years, Fresh.

HEALTH VERSUS FADS.

That Is rather a bold and sweeping
proposition made by the author Of
recent book, "Civics and HEALTH" to
hitch what might be called free health
TO our free schools, The tendency for
many years past has been to burden
the schools with all kinds OF collat.
eral issues. which some people call
fads. some OF which are highly useful
and some plainly beyond the scope of
such institutions. The danger has
seemed to be a breakdown of the pub
lie school system from attempting too
much; but the zeal of the enthusiastic
educator has Its praiseworthy side. 1t
Is possibly better for the children that
the public and the taxpayers should
have to restrain him than that they
should have to prod him. Secretary
William II. Allen. of the bureau OF
municipal research. contends that the
physical basis of effective citizenship
has been too much neglected. and
thinks that the health OF the country

A GREAT PROBLEM.

The problems Of the boy criminal
are many and serious. They are ever
present. Two entirely different phases
are emphasized by the news items Of
day in Chicago. The more sensa.
tional was connected with the killing
Of lad Of IL years who was initiating
the criminals of the Black Hand type.
The other phase was reflected In the
act Of Municipal court Judge. who
fined two first Offenders and then gave
them chance to reform without hav.
ing the prison stigma attached to
them. The story Of the Black Hand
blackmailer has familiar features. It
reveals the impressionable character
Of youth. II tells again the tale Of the
imitativeness Of youth. The sentiment
sometimes prompts boys to run away
from home In order to 20 out West to
fight Indians. In the latest case It
inspired these two with the thought
Of deeds Of criminal daring and adven.
ture at home. The threatening letters.
the arrangement OF meeting with the
victim. and the empty revolver pointed
at his body. all have the spirit of
"Deadshot Dick Of Sleepy Hollow"
Evidently the story Of alleged Black
Hand plots as outlined in the news.
papers had influence with these imag.
NATIVE boys. The killing Of the lad
is to be regl cited. It seems dreadful
fate for one 80 young. But It may
serve q useful purpose as a warning
to other boys who are cultivating
criminal instincts. The intended vic
tim thought men were in the plot
against him and the peace and quiet
Of his homo. The shadows Of dark.
ness serve to make the outlines Of the
figure indistinct a. q criminal runs
away from the sharp hail Of the de.
tective. The flying form may be that
Of q mere boy or II may be that Of a
man Of 10. It 10 safer for man and
boy to keep out Of such situations q
the one In which this boy criminal
placed himself. There are gangs Of
bad boys in many Of our cities and
villages. They make q dangerous ele
ment In the community. Some Of theil
constituent members are hopelessly
bad. They have had their criminal
instincts too we'll developed. Others
may be reached by Kindness and at
tention. The problem is great one
The home influences must be watched
the associations guarded. and the evel
present temptations OF youth appre
ciated. The importance of the work
that Is being attempted by various or
CARNATIONS for saving the boys re
ceives fresh emphasis in the untimely
end Of a Juvenile blackmailsr.

fects must be promptly remedied; II
teeth are bad. the mouth must be made
clean and sound by adequate dentistry.
The plan would include also the en-.
forcement Of proper exercise and rec.
reation. Who Is to pay for this. Mr..
Allen does not say. but tits manifest
that some. II not all. Of the cost would
have to be provided by taxation. The
end to be attained is unquestionably
desirable. A sound body is as import.
ant as sound mind. But the success.
full working out Of the details Of such
a plan would seem to be beset BY
great dificulties.

Cause For Thanksgiving.

Most people refrained from carry

Monday and turned to the woods and

fore the chill winds rob such an outing
of its pleasure. Most workingmen get
too little of the fields and woods, so
that an outing is the best possible way
to observe the day
Few stopped to think that Labor Day
1909, could well be day of thanksgiv-
ing-as well as the day which will be
set aside as Thanksgiving Day two
months hence. Yet the laboring man
of this country has more to be thank
full for at this time than ever before.
We have entered upon an era of un-
parallclled prosperity, which is as

because the railroads of this country
are equipped to move more of that
crop this year than ever before and be-
cause this nation and the other ma
tons of the earth await the harvesting
of that bumper crop with some impa-
tience. We've a bumper crop and the
world stands ready to use it.
The only serious labor disturbance
is the pressed steel car company's en-
ployees at Pittsburg. The rest of the
country except for a small strike here
and there, is dwelling in busting and
prosperous industrial peace. Wages
are high, the tariff discussion is over
and revision downward and even the
Japanese war cloud is vanishing into a
cloud of champagne corks and address

Texas is all comparatively new coun-

from north of that section. 1t will be
different in another generation, but to-
day the first thing one asks another on

How many men are there here who

Concrete Tables of the Middle Ages.

IN the orange garden of the old Ca
pucian monastery, on hillside about
three hundred feet above the Gulf of
Anialfi, Italy. there are a number of
queer shaped tables. These
tables, apparently used by the monks
for reading purposes, are about two
and 6 half feet high and three feet in
diameter at the top and two feet at the
base. They are of concrete, says Ce-
ment Age, and, though, according to
local authorities of an age varying
from four hundred to eight hundred
years. are in an excellent state of pres
ervation. The excellent condition of
these old tables furnishes additional
proof of tho duration of concrete as
applied to lawn and garden ornaments.

Taking A Long Chance.

Costa Rica, Honduras and
Guatenala. three Central American
republics With big debts, no funds and
bankruptcy knocking at their gates,
have hit upon a plan for rehabilitation
with a group of American financiers as
the moving spirit. They owe wherever
it is possible to owe and cannot
pay the interest, to say nothing
of the principal. The credi-
tors see no chance OF getting their
money under, conditions now existing
and it is believed that people who care
to buy up their claims, can do so at Il
heavy discount. In fact it is estimated
that forty million dollars will buy an
Indebtedness of two hundred millions.
Honduras owed 1927, OO0,O 900 principal
four years ago, which, with interest
accommodating since 1872 amounts to
about $1OO,0OO.000 at, the present time.
Costa RIGA owed $13,QOO,O0O in 1905,
$4,000, 1000 of which was back interest.
The little country now owes about
s15,OOO,0OO. Guatemala owes about
$S5,OOO,O00. :
The Philadelphia Inquirer, speaking
of the matter says
"On it's face the proposition is not d
particularly inviting one, as the record
of the three countries in question fails
to command the confidence of the
average investor, and with Argentine
fives selling below par it is evident
that South American securities are not
much in favor. Yet the natural re-
sources of Central America are meal
culably great and with honest andYable
government the republics named would
easily be able to pay their way. 1t
might be well worth while for our
financiers to set them on their feet"
