THE LEGISLATURE.

The legislature has now been in
session since the first Wednesday in
January, covering more than third
of the period allowed by the Constitu-
ton for the legislature co continue i'm

done much legislative work, and It
is not certain but that this may be
creditable To it, Sometimes the least
the legislature does, the better IL is
for the state and the people.
Some members of the legislature
are silly enough To think that their
Importance a. legislators i determin-
ed by the number Of bills they in
troduce, no matter how trivial they
may BE-. Just the converse OF this il
true. The strongest members Of the
General Assembly do not, as rule,
introduce many bills, and certainly
none except those that have some i'm
portance attached to them.

islature will be rather an unevent-
full one.

tents of his Greenbag to the Senate

THE LEGISLATIVE OPTIMIST.

A novel description of an opumist
was given recently by congressman
who had suffered go onslaught Of
popular protest in appeals" from his
district. He insisted that an optimist
was a man who could make nice,
sweet, pink lemonade out Of yellow,
sour things called lemons that have
been handed him"
"That," he said, with a grimace,
lis what I call an optimist." May it
not also BE- true, a. one of hi com
panions suggested, that some OF the
sweetest things in life owe much of
their attractiveness to the subacid,
aromatic influence Of this same sour
lemon which il % frequently hand
ed political leaders?
The joke was repeated in the pres
ence of an attache Of a foreign dele
cation, who thought III 90 good that
he wanted to pass 1t on, but he fail
ed to catch the full significance of
the phrase handed o. lemon" so he
changed the expression to making
nice, sweet, pink lemonade out Of

smile he retorted hastily, "Oh-per-

DICKENS CENTENNIAL.

Wednesday, the seventh OF Febru-
airy, was the one-hundredth anniver-
sary of the birth of Charles Dickens,
who Is regarded by many as the
greaest modern writer Of fiction. The
centennial has caused an awakening
Of public interest all over the civiiiz-
ed world in this famous creative ar
tist
ITO ali OF IT, who read his books
he is a father OF great family Of our
friends-he has drawn his characters
from the life about us and fi1ds 70
nance and tragedy, pathos and com
edy il the common lives a. we all
live them.
He had little education; not much
more than two years at school. a. q
boy he became familiar with London
street life, and later he painted such
word-pictures of it that he made Lon
don scenes familiar to millions who
had never seen them.
Dickens does not 50 greatly excel
in descriptions of high life" but he
draws most of his characters from
the poor and lowly- His wonderful
humor and pathos keep his readers
by turns in laughter and in tears.
He has been called "a literary car
toonist rather than a portrait paint
IT" yet his characters seem very real
to us.
1t must not be overlooked that he
was a great English reformer, labor
ing increasingly to remove the abuses
to which certain classes OF the Eng
lish people were subjected. He not
only stands high in English esteem,
but Americans are also delighted to
do him honor.

ARE CHILDREN WORTH SAVINGq

Are the children Of the United
States worth one-eighth as much as
the bugs? Hon. Andrew J.
Peters, member Of Congress from
Massachusetts, asked this rather
startling question at Louisville last
Sunday at a mass-meeting on child
labor. MIR. Peters showed that the
Bureau Of Animal Industry costs the
country $1,654,750 a year, and that
the Bureau of Plant Industry costs
$2,O51,686. The proposed children's
bureau would cost $29,44O and would
investigate child labor, infant NOR
tally and other important phases of
child conservation. Tit is being OPP
posed, Of course, by some manufac-
turers who want to employ babies in
cotton-mills, coal-mines and other
places admirably adapted for the
growth of mind and body and the
development Of sturdy American men
and women. In some quarters the
investigation of child labor is re-
garded as an unwarranted invasion
Of personal liberty. Certainly! Pub
lie schools were 80 regarded in their
early days. The Journal of the
American Medical Association says
that no doubt we shall soon have q
National League fof Juvenile Freedom,
secretly financed by the coal and
cotton barons, and demanding for the
child the right to labor when and
where it pleases. Tin the meantime,
if Congress thinks the baby il worth
as much or one-tenth as much as the
fruit crop, a children's bureau should
be established without delay.

COLD WEATHER FOODS.

In cold weather the food should
be such as will keep up the bodily
heat. There are three Matchmaking
foods-fat, starch and sugar. Each
of these has endless varieties.
Eat includes not only the fat Of
meat, but also cream, butter, olive
oil and other table oils. Many kinds
of vegetable food contain small per-
centages of fat. Nuts and corn are
especially rich in 1T.
Starch is the principal article OF
human food Flour, rice, potatoes
are almost pure starch except for the
water they contain I'll the cereal
grains consist principally of starch
Yet the body cannot use starch as
starch In the process of digestion
the starch must first be converted
into sugar; then it becomes digesti-
bic and nourishing.
Sugar in its various forms Is the
most natural food of man. All chill
dren instinctively like it, and 20 40
all grown people unless their natur-
al taste has been spoiled. Sugar is
even more common than fat or
starch Practically everything that
il sweet contains sugar. Some OF
the foods richest in sugar are candy,
honey, molasses, syrups and the
sweet fruits, such az figs, dates
raisins, grapes, etc IT, smaller
amounts sugar il found in Almost
everything that is fit for human food.
It is even found in the flesh of ami
mails. Beets are practically rich in
sugar, and all garden vegetables con-
tain more or less or It.
Either fat, starch or sugar must be
present, Or food cannot furnish the
warmth that the body must have. Tn
winter the body needs more heat;
therefore it needs more fat, starch
or sugar.

DID HE, OR DID HE NOTg

That is the question. There are
many questions brought to our daily
attention, for discussion and settle
ment, but the grayest Of all questions
before the county at this time is not,
who will be the Democratic candidate

the Presidency, but did Oh did not the
Ground Hog see his shadow on Fri
day the End inst? That is the ques-
ton, and there is great difference Of
opinion about it,
There are three classes to the
controversy. One says he did, anoth-
er says he didn't, and the third says
he don't care whether he did or didn't.
And % the discussion goes o., and
the weather conditions are likely to

Thursday of next week. Politicians
who have become adopts at lodging
issues, are having all they can do to
avoid this. AS the session grows, it
is apparent that the vote on this mat
ter will be close. Tt is claimed by the
advocates of this bill, that the recent
attempt to railroad some Of the Re
publicans Of BALTIMORE City, who
were returned as elected, out of office
was due to the desire of the liquor
men to replace them with men true

week a bill prepared by the Equal

chise upon women, will, it is sald, be

right to vote in all State and Balti-
more city elections.
