Crons Good Again.

AS the crop year moves swiftly
toward its end the country finds,
once more, that nature has been gen
erous. Taken as a whole, the crops
are good, says the Cleveland Leader.
Some exceptions are important, it
is true. Some losses from bad
weather are serious. Cotton has
been hard hit in certain parts of the
South. The spring wheat crop OF
the Northwest fell far below the
usual standard. There are districts
where pasturage has been scanty and
the yield of hay was under the nor
NAL average.
That is about the end OF the story
for those who have predicted may
evils ecause of damage to crops.
The losses in garden vegetables In
some sections have been balanced
by excellent crops in others. Fruit
is uneven, but there are many favor
able features as well as those OF the
other kind.

was surpassed in the condition and

a much better crop than last years
and it climbed up close to the record
for any season. Barley is below the
normal level. but far enought to
suggest anything like crop failure.

There Are Few Good Orators These
 Days.

During the past one hundred and fiity years there have been many great men in this country whose leadership and whose influence upon the affairs Of their time have been largely due to their skill in the use of the spoken word-to their oratorical ability. Pat rick Henry. James otis. Hamilton. Clay, calhoun and Webster are among some of the mighty orators whose fame has come down to us in written rec ord: then, through Rufus ChOate. Ed ward Everett. Wendell Phillips. Henry Ward Beecher and Phillips Brooks the great oratorical tradition descends al most to our own day. With Beecher. whom Dr. Lyman Abbott rates as the best equipped orator to whom living ear has listened and with Brooks. the embodiment Of all that is best in pull pit eloquence. the line seems to have come to an end.
 Today there Is one man who can lay claim to this rich inheritance-William Jennings Bryan. However widely we may dissen; from MT. Bryans political views. there can be but one opinion as to his truly extraordinary gifts and slS q lfubliN

THE NEW SCIENCE OF CHILD
 STUDY

| In his article on A Children's In | stitute." in Harper's for March, pr. C. ! Stanley Hall. president of Clark uni
 versity. tells of the notabl. results al-
 ready achieved in the study of the child mind:
 This work in general has had two chief results: the first the scientific. | IL has shown that the soul, like the body, is a product of evolution. As Wiedersheim enumerates. some six
 score rudimentary organs in the in | fant's body. which are of no service
 in it's own life. will dwindle or per haps entirely pass away before ma
 turity like the gill-slits. rudimentary | tail, milk teeth. etc. These show in a
 language that every scholar admits
 that the human body has been evolved from that of the higher antropoids. In | the same way the soul abounds in a
 vestiges of primordial and prehunan instincts that man has in common with animals. many of which, too. will 1 dwindle or pass away with childhood
 and youth. Thus genetic psychology is coming to occupy place m the
 study of the soul very much like that
 occupied by embryolDgy in the study | of the body.
 The second net result of work in
 the above fields is practical and ap- plies to education. It is singular to
 look over the proceedings of the va rious meetings of teachers in recent years. and to see how more and more those contributions to pedagogy which
 have permanent interest and value are those that are based upon in 1 vestigations into the nature and needs of childhood The child was formerly for the sake of the school. but now
 everything concerning the latter studies and their order. methods of teaching, and all the hygienic ques- tions connected with their location. structure. and everything else-is for
 the sake of the child
 One might add a third result IS
 slowly being evolved from these stud
 ies. viz. a new way Of looking at the
 soul. Formerly every one supposed that self observation or looking in upon our own psychic processes. ar
 the intensification of self-conscious-
 ness. was the oracle and muse of phil osophic studies Now. however. under the influence of child-study it is com ing to be seen that this method gives
 us access to but a very small part of ! the soul, as, like an iceberg, nine tenths of which Is submerged under
 water and only one-tenth is visible above the surface of the sea, in Oe
 same way unconscious and instinctive forces now seem to be dominant in human life especially in the young, and these can be studied only ob- actively by natural-history methods. We can reach this more comprehen- sive knowledge only by carefully re-
 cording descriptions of what we see

TUCSON PHYSICIAN
 AUTOMOBILE VICTIM
Or. W. B. Purcell Killed by Overturn-
 ing of His Machine.

Dr w E. Purcell of Tucson was killed last Sunday twenty miles south east of that city by the overturning of his automobile and his body was pinned under it for four hours until a companion could summon assistance.
 Al the time of the accident Dr. Pur- cell was on his way to the Twin Buttes mine The machine had been run on top of an embankment along the rail- road track and finding q crossing at that point impossible. the doctor was turning ihe machine when it went over.
 An examination of the body after it had been brought back to Tucson showed a diSlocation of the vertabrae near the neck, so that death was prob ably instantaneous. The funeral will take place at Tucson today and Vari- ous fraternal organizations of which he was member will participate in the ceremonies.
 Dr. Purcell was 42 years of age and had been a resident of Tucson for four teen years. He leaves beside the mem bers of his own family. several brothers and sisters. among them s w. Pur- cell, a former probate judge of Pima county.

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu-
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half a century ago, it is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which afIlict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes Of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain
which is done more quickly and salts,
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
Of nourishing food, of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both the
muscular and nervous systems.
