SMOKING on Street Cars.

Kansas City preens itself that it is
about to have a rule prohibiting smok-
ing on street cars enforced. The Kan
sas City journal says. 1T removes
our city from the list OF jay towns
Such a rule already obtains in most
of the large cities, and we are sur
pris.A that city Of the size Of Kan
sas CITY, in Missouri, should not have
had such d rule established Ions ago.
TIER, is no doubt that much uf gen
tili,v prevails in this Western netropo-
lis. and the first qualification of gen
tilitv is consideration for the feelings
of others.
The accepted style Of car in the
Eastern states, where any sort OF
smoking is permitted, is the two
apartment car, the smokers occupying
one end Of the carriage, through which
the ladies and those not liking tlc
oIor of smoke do not have to pass,
but it seems that even this arrange
ment must lave to be done away with
before long because of the odor OF
smoke which constantly perNaucS the
atmosphere of the larger compart-
ments of the cars. Every time the doors
between the compartments are opened.
the natural draft created by the prog
rrss Of the car brings in an unWholc-
some volume Of smoke and the foul
odors accommodating in such quarters
cspcc!a!ly in winter time, when the
windows are closed Eventually, we
have no doubt, the smokers colnpart-
ment will be at the rear Of the car
and ladies' and others will enter AT
through such an atmosphere, anu
without the draft above referred to.
Even in New England, and in our
own state, street railway officials nave
more or less difficulty in enforcing
the anti-smoking rules of the COM
pany. Some men persist in entering
car, crowded with ladies and gentle
men, with cigar which, if they are
not putting, is at least emitting VOL
ulnes of strong tobacco smoke, or
what is worse, greater volumes OF the
stronger odor of a cigar that is dead.
No gentleman, Of course, would 90
such things, but there are people III
this world, and even in the Pine Tree
State, who seem to regard themselves
as the only human objects necessary
on the face of the globe.
An order prepared by railway
company should read: "No gentleman
will, and no others shall, smoke in
the presence of those to whom II Is
offensive and who have paid tor their
accommodation on this car. linen
the rule should be enforced, even to
the point Of strenuous physical eXer-
ton.

for such a scamp. The practice of
debauching the morals of fair young

common among educators. Examples
should be made of such fellows. At
least their names should be published
far and wide that they may be unable

I Philadelphia found in HalloWccn Il
rival to the deadly July fourth. Two
syoung cclcbrators are dead, a boy and
Il girl, and three others are in hos
pital near deaths door. But the
Ehoulish performance of a Quaker
city girl and party of invited friends
who scampcrcd and gigglcd among
the graves of an "cXclusive' cemetery
names the trump. They are said to
have played all kinds of merry games
among the tombstoncs, sending recur-
rent shivcrs down the spincs of 'eX-
elusive" people who own lots in the
cemetery. Just why the prank was
any worse in an "exclusivc" than in
any other grave yard we are not in
formed, but we hope the smarties get
spanking anyway.

Disease Germs.

Two members of the French academy
of science have been making expert
ments with germs of typhoid fever,
diphtheria, etc. Strips of paper were
prepared with cultures of these germs
some Of which We're then placed in
TASKS filled with pure air While others
were pat into TASKS containing decay
ing animal matter. After twcnty-four
hours, germ colonies We're raised, and
it was found that in every case the
germs which had been exposed to the
bad doors grew faster than the germs
placed i'll TASKS filled with pure air.
This proves that germs multiply much
faster in bad air than in pure air and
that human beings thrive better in
good air where germs DO not multiply

Farm Life No Longer One of Solitude.

An article of considerable horse
mcnt is served to the readers Of the
Farmers and DrovcrS' journal, which
saws, among other truths: Modern
inventions have eliminated the siren
uousn"ss of rural life. Tho discom-
forts and Inconvenience endured by
farmers a quarter of u century ago
have been supplanted with luxurics
and most Of the convcnicnccS of mod
crn city appointments. The farmer
himself has not only abrogated the
drudgcry incident to farm life in the
earlier days, but he has evolved into

We're asked if his farm paid last year,
h" would answer the question by re-
fcrring to his books, as the twentieth
century farmer is exploiting; agricul-
turc. one Will b. surprised to learn
how much tn" farmer knows, not only
about the cost oil ms farm operations,
but also of the affairs of the world.
In the worlds supply of different ag-
ricultural products the progressive
farmer keeps vel informed and an
ticipatcS the movements Of the mar
kcts. He knows when it will be ad-
vantagcous to hold his crop and when
il is the best time to sell to realize the
maximum of profit,
Life on the farm is distinguished
by the replacement by machinery of
many operations that formerly were
performed by hand labor. Now the
windmill or gasoline engine pumps the
water for the stock. which was for
merly an arduous task when operated
by hand. The matron of the home no
longer uses the old fashioned wash
tub and rub board in doing her laun-
dry work. but has installed patent
washing machine operated by the
same power that lifts the water for
the stock. The old dash churn has
been supplanted by the cream separa-
tor and the new barrel churn operated
| by mechanical power. Even the
household ironing is now done by gas
heated sadirons. and the hot stove is
left in the kitchen while the maid
irons on the cool screened porch in
the shade
Other points are mentioned, among
which are the motor car and the thea
ire figure. but most important of all
is that to which we have called atten-
ton before-that life on the farm has
lost its solitude and isolation through
the medium of modern inventions. A
physician one or ten miles away may
be called in a moment over the tele-
phone. and makes high speed in his
automobile over modern roads. The
improved environment of the farmer
and his family has eliminated much of
the discomfort as we'll as much of the
drudgery. The young folks are be-
ginning to realize that they may live
on the farm and partake of things
which the city does not afford and, at
tho same time. enjoy a goodly amount
