ROMANCE ALL GONE
DEFINITE END PUT TO PLEAS
UREs OF IGNORANCE.
Exploration of Previously Unknown
Portions of the Earth Has for tho
Most Part Left People Sad.
F. ly DlsllIusIoned.

young English officer, equipped
scientifically for his task, has just gone
around that big black spot on the map,
Lake Tchad. and also has explored
thoroughly the lake and its islands. He
has added to human knowledge. but he
has not earned human gratitude, as he
has planted a cold, hard and uninter-
esting fact where stimulating mys-
terry SO long dwelt.
Tchad for generations had a place
among the great lakes. larger than
Erie but smaller than Huron, magni-
fcent expanse of water, hidden from
the white world by the great wilder
ness of Africa. The unfeeling English
man has cut 1t down from $4,000
square miles to less than 1000, even in
the rainy season, and he says that its
average depth is not more than flve
feet-in fact, that 1t is only huge
swamp. lar from pleasant to the eye.
Thus another illusion of middle-aged
and elderly people takes wings.
Whenever new geographical fact Is
ascertatned there is loud acclaim. But
ought we to congratulate ourselves be-
cause all the world is being mapped,
measured, classified and strewed with
empty tin cans and old newspapers?
Now that Peary has been to the north
pole 1t is not nearly so fascinating a
place as 1t used to be. The English, II
they can reach the south pole, may
have 1t and be welcome to It. We
have taken the gilt off one pole. and
that Is enough for US.
Fifteen or eighteen years ago there
was a peak in the interior of New
Guinea full half mile higher than
Mount Everest, and fireside travellers
loved to dwell upon its magnificence,
but unromantic Germans In spectacles.
and probably pudgy. too. have proved
that so far from being higher than
Mount Everest 1t is only half as high.
We do not thank them.
The great charm of the South Seas
lay in the vague. misty color Of doubt
that overhung them. Any day bold
New England skipper In his sailing
bark might happen upon a fine island
inhabited by a gentle grown race. The
chance has passed forever. We know
all the Islands, and we are selling
clothes and rum on every one of them.
Darkest Africa was far more inter-
esting to most men than an Africa
strung with railroad and telegraph
lines and dotted with tame lions. Can
not the explorers leave us a few cor
ners Of the earth where fancy may
roam and romance have its hiding
place?

Diamonds on the Feet.

The diamond garter has been fad
for many years, but recently Berlin
women have decided the garter is not
worth the trouble and expense, now
that the sheath gowns have gone out
of vogue. To have large diamond ear
rings was all very well. and rings on
dainty hands will always be in fash
Ion. but what more could the fastidi-
pus woman ask than sparkling band
of diamonds around her ankle? First
one Of the women In the kaisers court
started 1t. Others were willing to emu
late her, and now when there is dance
the circlet of gems on the ankle In
evitably calls attention to small
foot and shapely ankle. But the
one drawback to these ornaments is
that sometimes they become loose and
are lost But the plain gold band is
used to take the place of the bejew-
eled circlet, and women risk wearing
those in the streets.

RobbIng the Sick.

Better than London better than
Paris. better than Berlin, better than
any other large city in the world. New
York looks well after its sick poor.
There are free hospitals and dis
pensaries by the score. Even in the
luxurious private hospitals there are
free beds. There are free institutions
for the care of contagious diseases,
free vaccination. free diphtherfa
serum. There are funds for the care
Of tuberculous patients without means.
Yet with all this public and private
charity, the hospitals and dispensaries
are constantly taxed to their capacity.
A large proportion of the metropolitan
population, self-respecting and self
supporting. is able to care for Itself in
times of health. With illness. however,
with the stoppage Of wages that gen.
orally ensues, 1t often becomes en-
Itirely impossible to supply medical
care and attention. 1t Is for such per
sons as these that the city's dis
pensaries are intended.
An investigation at Bellevue has
shown that frequently persons Of
means go there for treatment Un-
,doubtedly this Is true at many other
institutions. DR.. Brannan has asked
the board Of estimate to pay an In
'vestigator to detect such cases. His
request should be granted.
Persons with means to pay for med
ical care who patronize dispensaries
are robbing the sick. They should by
all means be exposed.-New York

Good Health h.b,t..

Put the heaviest meal after the oloss
Of the days work. and your Ill health
will not be traceable to your habits Of
eating nor to your food, provided you
limit yourself to moderate meals.
BY eating portion of meat With one
of bread, and adding fresh vegetables
and water. every need Of the body can
be supplied without overloading the
stomach.
Meals, to do good and maintain the
body, must be eaten deliberately and

ONE TRUE AFFINITY
Is THAT EXISTING BETWEEN A
BOY AND HIS Doo.
Are Natural Companions, and That
Youngster Who Has Never Had Q
Four.Footed chum 10 to e..
Be PItIed.

II there was ever true aMnity
upon this old earth. 1t exists between
boy and dog. The boy who does
normal-provided he has ever owned
and associated with one. Nature has
left something out of him which
should be there. In these days Of
tabloid domestic economy. whom fam
lilies live in pigeonholes and city peo-
pie almost forget what fields and
woods look like, We have tried to
eliminate the dog from bis fightful
place. His place is that Of . faith
full companion, vigilant guardian and
chum who never has crouch. never
demands more than bone and does
not care whether his master IL .
prince or pauper. We arc trying to
raise children without dogs. We are
trying to cultivate in our boys and
girls the virtues Of love, patience,
kindliness and humanity without Civ.
ing them dogs.
In the grist of great city's news
the other day was the story OF boy
ten years old who had . dog. This
animal had no pride Of pedigree. but
that didn't make the least difference.
The boy had some bad companions
and he played truant from school. In
some way or other the boys parents
blamed the faithful dog. The boy was
forced to give his pet to . neighbor
and the boys family moved far into
another part of the city. The boy
yearned for his dog. His little heart
was broken and he cried day and
night One day this boy tied . few
things into a package, took five dol
lars from his mothers dresser and
went away. He walked far back to
where his dog was, and two days later
he was found playing with his four
footed friend.
Then the officers and tho parents
did surprising thing. They locked
mp this little boy and took away his
dog. And they wondered what they
were going to do with the boy. And
again the boy cried and was uncon-
solable. The parole-oflcer said: THAT
boy is proposition. When he has
his dog he is a good boy, but he will
not be separated. expect that the
dog will have to be returned to him"
The boy who will cling 80 tenacious
ly to his dog Is not inherently bad
What possible harm can como from
giving him back his chum3 These
must be strange parents who will do
liberately deprive child Of ten
years Of his dearest treasure. The
writer Of this has deep sympathy for
this bereaved youngster. for far back
in the haze Of his vanished youth
there was a dog that he loved better
even than the school teacher. That
dog was ever at his heels and shared
in all his boyhood Joys and sorrows. II
there is something that corresponds
to woodshed in heaven. ws hope
that that faithful old tail IL still was-
ging Justify. Out Of wearying ~
sponsibilities. grinding duties and the
turmoil OF manhood estate We take
time to raise our voice against that
unkind conspiracy which IL trying to
rob this ten-year-old boy Of his dog.
