is embodied in the report. It says:
I'VE believe the United States would
do better to deport them (the boysl
rather than. to allow them to land If
they are destined to this employment
under existing conditions.
PadrOnes Receive Tips.
The revenues derived from each boy
is 800 to $500 per year, which wages
range from $50 to $3.50. The boys
are bound to turn all their tips over
to the padrone, and these frequently
are enough not only to pay the boys
wages and some $40 for his keep, but
also to leave a respectable sum in
dependent of the legitimate profit Of
the business.
The peasant class, from which the
bootblacks are drawn, is poor, and the
parents have little desire to educate
their children even bringing them into
this country or sending them with
pseudo father The padrone furnishes
transportation and S12 or SIS SHOW
money" to pass the immigrant inspec-
tors. In Greece the ties Of blood
relationship, of marriage, Of god
fathers, are given great weight, and
by playing on this condition Of at
fairs the padrones are able to get a
regular supply of boys to exploit.
Chicago is the center of the traffic
in boys, which is cunningly carried on
to evade the Immigration laws. The
most of the Greek boys are used as
bootblacks. though some are peddlers
in New York and Chicago.
The men work as; railroad laborers
or at similar heavy work. The
padrone system obtains less generally
among other near Eastern nations.

SNAKES FOR SANITATION
Suggestion. That Reptiles Be Domes-
 ticated to Keep Down Vermin
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Prof. Sambon, London physician and all-round expert on tropical diseases. has fathered the remarkable suggestion that the domestication of nonvenomons snakes and their addition to the ordinary household might prove an enective means of protection against plague Ills idea Is that they would eat up the rats that harbor the fieas that carry the plague into the house tsounds like the one that Jack built)
 The trouble with cats is that they may themselves become infected with plague through the rat feas. Snakes of many varieties are good ratters. Professor sambon directs attention to the we'll known historic fact that snakes were used as domestic verinin killers in an- cient times. The Egyptians kept do- mestic snakes in their houses In 291 B. e.. when Rome was devastated bv the plague. rat-eating snakes were intro duced They were placed in the public buildings as well as in private houses.
 This scheme may be all right from a scientific point of view. hut it isn't likely to prove popular with housewives. In fact. we fancy the avera ge matron would prefer a troop of domesticated mice around under foot to pair of snakes.
 Perhaps in India and the countries where plague is a constant source of danger, the natural human repugnance to the family of creeping things might he overcome by their utility. But tho Yankee home is likely to remain free from this new domestic pet.

SCIENTIFIC LIVES
 FOR THE BABIES

From the London Mirror.
 You can have too much science in
 baby-rearng; don't turn the nursery into a laboratory, Occasional irregularities in
 meal times are good for baby; they teach him to adapt himself. and so strengthen his constitution for the battle of after life, when he will not always be able to have his lunch at the exact moment to which he is accustomed"
 Thus a well-known West. End prac- titioner to the Daily Mirror, whilst dis cussing yesterdays article on the life of scientific baby.
 There is too much of the delicate, hot house flower about modern babies,'' he said. Some mothers bring up their chill dren as if the whole world was going to be one long summer day. famed by gen tie sterilized breeze, and interrupted only by punctual meals of patent foodstuffs. But since the world that baby has got to live in is not systematized and ordered with the regularity of the multiplication table, it is no use bringing up babies to suit one level of temperature and to live in any one settled order of life. Perfect health means the ability to ac- custom oneself to any set of crcum- stances When a keen east wind blows it sets your state of health a splendid test. without advocating any rigorous, Spartan discipline for babies, I certainly recommend something more akin to na- ture than the ultra-scientific. ITO be beautiful baby it must first be healthy baby; but molly codding and scientific feeding with carefully worked out diets in fractions of ounces will produce a sort of spurious health the health which characterises what call the hoarding baby
 You see these fat, scientifically oroomed ha hipS Smirking on the big nos ters which advertise this and that kind of foodstuff, but they frequently are reared on special system and are hope less once the exact order of-their life Is interferred with.
 "A truly beautiful baby looks beautiful under any circumstances; either in win l ter's cold or summers heat. Rigours of climate improve it. It is not like the coddfed child, which has it's special day. | Scientific rearing includes. amongst other paraphernalia. the feeding bottle
 with it's measured ounces of special | foods.
 | "I am not by any means alone in the opinion that bottle feeding spells the | looks of baby.
 | Several leading authorities have agreed that sucking the India rubber mouthpiece | or comforter disorganizes the muscles of the face. It develops some of them ab- normally. and is also liable to change the shape of the lips and the angle or I the jaw.
 | "rhe mechanical lsfe of the scientifcal- | lv reared baby is unnatural and. when dealing with babies it is safe to assert | that anything unnatural is wrong. Me- l chanical action of organs, that are
 strengthened and improved by constant
 changes. cannot possibly make for ] beauty"

years 1t has been almost incessant, .o choose for representation images of nai,- kind that are revolting, and to justify the choice by declaring that the pur- pose of art is to hold the mirror up to nature-as if nature, necessarily and ex- clusively. is everything ugly and ven- omous. The function of tragic art, as stated by Aristotle and confirmed by the experience of ages, is to excite pity and terror that proposition is undisputed: the heart can be touched and the mind elevated by the exposition of tragic ex- perence; but there is a wide difference between the portrayal of tragic expert ence and the portrayal of morbid anat- omy and physical disease. The practice of showing abhorrent types of character and depraved conditions, particularly on the stage has been pushed to an in- sufferably tedious extreme. If the pul- pose of the arts is not to help mankind to advance civilization. to awaken and stimulate the love of beauty. to diffuse gentleness of feeling and refinement Os manners, and, while giving pleasure. t) make men and women better-then they have no purpose that is worthy of being considered If there were nothing more in the practice of the art of the ths- atre than that one person should dis play ingenuity in observing and making records of the surfaces of common indi- viduals and experiences. that another per- son should display cleverness in embody- ing and animating those records, and that still another should admire and ap- plaud their ingenuity and ceverness. then, indeed. the art of the theatre would be no more worthy of thoughtful at- tention than are the grimaces and gyra. tions of monkeys in a cage. at

The Gard of Thanks.

Britt Tribune: OF all the absolute
Nv senseless things that were ever
printed in a newspaper, the card OF
thanks is the most foolish. OF course
everyone is thankful for help in time
of trouble, but the printing Of 1t in
a public paper should never be done.
The whole thing is in very bad taste.
Thanks for the flowers and for the
singing might with equal grace extend
to the sexton, the undertaken and the
driver OF the hearse. The man who
made the casket, the man who en-
graved the nameplate and the man
who made the plumes for the horses
heads could with equal propriety be
included. No one would be offended
if they did not get them. We have
charged for cards of thanks for years
and we are going to make the price
high enough SO that no one will wan
one in this paper. Not because ~
care for the space itPoccupies. not be
cause we are unsympathetic, but De
cause we want TO discountenanc'
this senseless thing.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: In del
feating reciprocity Canada did a good
turn for the Republican party. The
only issue in which there was any
serious division among the Republi-
cans has now been removed from
politics. Neither Republicans nor
Democrats will bring that question up
again in this generation. It's rejection
in Canada has been so decisive that
no change Of heart on that issue is
likely 70 come within the next quarter
of century. Because of its identi-
fication with that question a party
which has swept the Dominion in
many elections has now been thrust
far into the minority. This being the
case no movement from our side Of
the line in championship of that
policy will come during the active
life OF any of our present public men.
In order to give emphasis to reel
procity's defeat the men who took the
lead in framing the pact have been
cast out OF Office, and, for time, at
least, the public service Is closed to
them.
Says Robert L. Borden. the leader
OF the opponents OF reciprocity, who
will now become premier: "The YER
dict was in nowise dictated by any
spirit Of unfriendliness to the great
neighboring republic. No such spirit
exists here. 1t is my conception that
friendly relations can best be main
tanned II each country preserves COM
plete and entire control over its own
tariff, and enters into no entangling
agreements which impair and affect
that control" This is sense. Every
country which has tariff for protec
ton should be free to arrange it to
meet its own particular demands
| without asking the consent of any
other locality. Under that principle
the United States has prospered hith
erto, and the principle will be ad
hered to. It's own lawmakers. Will
such aid as may be afforded by it!
own experts, will go right on shapin.
Its tariff legislation in the light of it
own needs, and will not be compelled
to ask favors of any other country, o
bring any other country into legis
lative partnership. The measur
which Canada has just rejected tie'
the hands of our legislators in a hi
initiating way. They were ordere
not to alter a syllable of 1t, but t
push it through as it was handed t
them by junta of executive official
of the two countries. This accounts
for the circumstance that there wa
great opposition to it here. and it wa
delayed several months, thus length
ening out session which never ough
to have been called. This measur
was one OF the adverse factors froT
