Not Necessarily eibulous.
From the New York Times.

From some other source than the pub
lished speeches of Daniel Webster. the
Rochester Post-Express has obtained ar
Grafton which the statesman is supposed
to have delivered in its city 60 years ago
and it prints what it Is we'll justified IT,
calling q very curious passage. AS re.
ported. Mr.. Webster said:
Men of Rochester, / am slad to see YOU.
and l am glad to see you noble city. Gen,
tiemen. l saw your falls. which l am told
are $50 feet high. That is a very interest.
Naesar. her Scipio, her Brutus, but Rome
In her proudest days never had a water.
fall $50 feet high! Gentlemen. Greece had
Socrates. but Greece in her palmiest days
never had a waterfall $50 feet high! Men
of Rochester. go on. No people ever lost
their liberties who had a waterfall I'D feet
high.
This doesn't sound very websterian,
and in explanation of it's variance from
the great mans usual tone and style. the
Post-Express declares that when he de-
ltvered this speech Webster was mot toe
drunk to talk. but too drunk to talk with
the lofty eloquence and rare good sense
OF other days"
II this statement rests on nothing more
than the speech itself, its. accuracy is
dubious. To us. at least, the words quoted
seem both sensible and eloquent. AT any
rate they are q refreshing change from
the punky, bow-wow stuff h usually
exudes when distinguished orators are
making appropriate remarks to fellow
citizens gathered to hear themselves and
their town hattered. II. as probably hap
pened. Webster found tina he was ex,
pected to give Rochester credit for the
size Of its falls, It is really no wonder
that he turned humorist for once. and
there is no need to assume that red Ii.
quor had anything to do with the turn his
fancy took.

Problems of School inspection.

FROM lne journal tl the American
Medical Association.
While school inspection has been tha
subject of much commendatory mention
IN the public press, some objections have
been raised to proposed legislation making
it compulsory The question has been
raised as to the l,ropr.ety of complete eX.
aialnations requiring exposures of the
chest. etc, especially in the older girls.
1t being urged that parents should be al
lowed to select the physician to make the
examination. AS perhaps might have been
expected, the sectarian schools of medi.
cine have been more or less to the fore
IN the objections. This trouble has been
encountered in Newark. n. j.. where. for
instance, examination OF the heart and
lungs has been insisted on as q feature
OF school inspection. 1T is natural that
the inspecting authorities should want to
forestall criticisms as to the thorough
ness OF their work, which would he very
liable to be made NV those not i'm fun
sympathy with the movement. 1t would
seem. however, that since the school has
no interest in heart disease further thar
as it affects the functional capacity of the
heart. such tests as are necessary might
be made without requiring any exposure
which would be offensive tn the pupils
and resented by their parents. 1t would
doubtless be we'll for those engaged in
the work to remember that medical
schOol inspection IS at present or trial so
far as the general public is concerned,
and that lack OF tact may prejudice the
cause as much as lack of skill. if not
more. 1t is not desirable that medical
school inspectors shall be t:me-servers:
but for & school physician to strain his
brief authority by too arbitrary tnsistence
on methods of inspection which parents
have not learned to regard as a matter OF
course in private practice, would seem
to be premature, to say the least. Doubt
less, with greater experience. by the exer-
else of tact. by educating the public ant
winning its confidence. inspectors will be
able IN most instances to secure all need.
ed information and at the same time to
avoid any occasion for conflict between
the authority of the home and that OF
the school. This is always disastrous. anG
would be especially regrettable just nov
in the case of medical school inspection.

FOR THE CITY
Is THE AMPELOPSIs

The Ampelopsis Is one Of the most
useful hardy vines. What great i'm.
provement might easily be wrought In
appearance n value not only in city
houses, but hose of suburban towns
and country districts as we'll, with q
few of these plants to soften the HARD
angles and break up the flatness tha,
SO often prevails.
The best plant, and the one most
generally used for this purpose, is Am.
pelopsis Veitchti, the we'll known Bos.
ton or Japanese ivy.
Among the chief features in favor OF
this plant, it clings closely to the wall
br other support by means of it's disk
bearing tendrils. requiring considerable
force to tear 1t away. thus no strag.
Cling vines are seen hanging down OF
bare places ON the wall once the Ampe.
lopsis q grown over 1t.
Dust. smok and other conditions in
| cidental to cities so disastrous to plan;
life nave little effect on the growth Of
this plant.
1t is beautiful at all seasons. ths
bright green foliage Of early spring
changing to dark green during the
summer and again to the lively fall
tints of red and orange. Even the deli.
| cate tracery OF its lealess stems il
winter is attractive.
AmpelOpsis Virginica or quinquafolis
(Vtrginia creeper) is a strong grower
with large "hve-fingered" leaves more
suitable for growing on fences, garuer
walls, posts OF masonry entrances to
drives. walks. etc.. than on buildings
owing to its loose habit OF growth
There are many different forms of this
native vine, all are beautiful. especially
In autumn, when h effect of the bril-
liant foliage is glorious.
POt-grown plants are most useful for
planting, especially l. the small spaces
usually found about city houses. Ampe.
iOpsis does no require particularly
good soil, and will thrive under ad-
verse conditions. such al in the dry soil
generally prevailing close to the house
| wall.
Before planting remove at least q
cubic foot Of the old soil and replace
with good loam. A well grown pot
plant when knocked out Of the pot will
have q network OF nbrous roots. over
ing the outside Of the ball Of earth
Loosen up these roots at the bottom
before planting as they will grow out
into the fresh soil more rapidly than II
left matted together.
After planting, water thoroughly and
as often az required until the plant be-
comes established In it, new quarters.

trifing compared with the improve
ment obtained In the appearance Of the
home. whether In the city or country.

New Zealand Teaches Justice.

NIO.Il tlle IldIllOiO 1 lIlieS.
Ii is the fashion in some quarters to
snecr at New Zealand experiments in
government and administration. Well
established modern politicians natur-
ally dislike a system that is meant to
hamper the activities in which they
delight and find profit. They say that
at n ate New Zealand is u peculiar
country and that even if the theories
developed there work Well in New
Zealand they are not suitable
for great countries or great
cities. Yet New Zealand and Australia
have contributed much to the rea adj
vance In the conditions of popular gov
in this country.
The New Haven Register hits tine
point when it describes the government
there as Il government with a con-
SCIENCE" and it makes Il fortunate IL
Illustration when 1t compares a recent
event In the United States with one of
a similar nature In New Zealand. In
our case a man had been wrongfully
convicted of murder. but not sentenced
to death. After serving 20 years in
prison the truth was established and
the man was "%pardoned." The state
which had done this great wrong-un-
consciously of c~ourse-could do nc bet
ter for him han to pardon him for a
crime ne had never committed. He had
no redress for the injury To his name
VI lle years he mao spent IN cOnTlne-
ment. Of the New Zealand case the
Register gives this condensed account
One New Zealander was accused OF
sheep stealing. found guilty and sent to
prison. After he had been there FIVE
years it was demonstrated that he was
innocent. The government offered him
a pardon" but he declined to be par
doned for something OF which he vas
not guilty. Then did the Parliament OF
New Zealand pass an act ordering the
Supreme Court to reverse the convic-
ton of John Mei:lle on the charge of
sheep-stealing and to offer the sum OF
$4,000 for injuries received"
Was this anything more than jus
tice? Is a government which proceeds
on that basis unworthy OF study and
of limitation wherever it's course comes
closer to justice n honor than that
of another? The law must be supreme
but mistakes occur. Those mistakes
should be corrected as much as thosf
of q mere private person.

How TO Exercise.
William IIemmingway, in Harper's
NEpak1N-


Look 1T the city dog or the city horse
IL any still exists. Let these animals be
pampered, fulfilled. and kept from work or
play, and they become fat. incident. de.
crepit, short-lived. They must lave exer-
else really to live. 1t need not be the rig.
orous task of the fox-hound or the cours.
ing greyhound. or the hard drilling of this
Thoroughbred race-horse in training. But
a reasonable amount of exercise they must
nave in order to live. So with the city
man, the -brainworker. the man of seden.
tary occupation. And inasmuch as "man.',
of course, ''emblaces woman'-as the phil.
osopher said--it follows that she, too.
needs reasonable exercise e She would
live at her best. But the r~easonableness
of the exercise must never be forgotten.
1t would be suicidal folly for the hard
working business man or practitioner OF
a learned profession, to box 10 ounds q
day with a pugilist at top speed or to
run a mile at his best pace or to play three
fast sets of tennis Yet three or four
rounds a day, or six rounds every other
day. at moderate speed with. say, a couple
of minutes brisk m;X-up at the finish; or
a pleasant, jogging run. or a set of tennis
daily or six sets distributed owe a week.
would do wonders in keeping the busiest
%sedentary worker full OF the JOY of living
and doing. and out of the hands of the
doctors.
Preferably man should take his physi-
cal exercise as play. a pleasant swim of
IL or 20 minutes duration, a swift stroll
with a friend or two over five or six miles,
a lively game or two of squash or tennis or
handball-any one of these will do a man
more good h hours of monotonous
mauling q punching bag or pushing dumb
bells. The mind. the soul itself, is bene-
fitted by play. while the bodily functions
are strengthened by the physical work IN
the. game.
