have been granted to Steuben and
Kosciusko, he has a monument which
equals theirs in magnitude and per-
manency. 1t is the peculiar, intimate
n enduring in which his
name and memory have been woven
into the very fabric of the life of the
people Of his native state. His name
is borne by one Of the most beautiful
counties in the very heart Of the state
"A county to whose hills and woods
and streams and lakes loving pilgrim
ages will always be made. It is borne
by a prosperous little city, which will
grow more important as the years go
by. 1t is repeated in countless legends
OF the reyolution-for the story of the
brave Mohawk Dutch" farmer, sprung
from a sturdy peasantry, and making
himself a veritable bulwark against
the forces Of barbarism and oppres~
sion, is n of the sort which will al
ways appeal to the people.
Monuments in stone and bronze are
sometimes almost forgotten. Intensely
local, the communities which possess
them fall into a way Of ignoring
them. Habitual passing makes the
generations blind to them. But every
time a name of a populous town or
county Is spoken, the story embodied
in that name Is told. Herkimer, Liv-
1ngston. Steuben, Schuyler and Rens-
selaer are better monumented in the
names Of great New York counties
than they are in brass and marble.
We have not chosen, in this country,
to bestow aristocratic titles upon our
heroes, in order to perpetuate their
fame. But the newness Of our land
has enabled US to honor them with
place names which will last when ev-
cry princely or lordly family name in
Europe is extinct.

A Hint From Minnesota.

Christian Science Monitor: Suppos-
ing that any one Of the eastern states
Of the United States wherein farm
land Is invitingly cheap at presen,
should, through the medium of maps
and pamphlets and information bu-
reaus, explain to those people thinking
OF getting back to the soil just what
they could raise on these lands, and
just o they could raise it. Is it not
within reason that the demand for the
abandoned Or uncultivated farms
would greatly increase? 1t would be
necessary to have the word and the
official honor of the state behind all
representations Of this character. The
assertion Of private persons or firms
or corporations would not be sufficient
to create the demand necessary to the
~repeopling of the rural districts. Ev-
cry word should be authoritative. II
there were a fair living for an indus
trlous family on fifteen acres any,
where, and the state should not hesi-
tate to guarantee this to be the case.
the fifteen acres would not long await
a customer. At present the thing that
deters the would-be small farmer of
the town n city from investing in
rural property is the practical absence
or anything like ar assurance that the
property offered him is what it is
represented to be, and the lack of de-
pendable information with regard to
the fitness or unfitness of the soil.
even when 1t is fertile for certain
crops.
There Is an organized movement in
Minnesota operating under the name
of the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association, the purpose Of which
seems to be the thorough enlighten-
ment Of those seeking homestcads in
that quarter. This association has
succeeded in calling attention to a ter
ritory that offers Inducements com
parable with any to the American
homeseeker. It's accomplishments thus
far have been set forth in the news
columns Of The Monitor. But now it
proposes to take a new and forward
step. 1t is asking the state for a soil
survey. Land Is not all alike in north
ern Minnesota any more than 1t is in
Maine or New York, or Florida or Cal
lforn1a. It is Of vast Importance, first
ly, that the settler shall know whether
he is buying good land: and secondly,
how he can best use the soil Of fertile
land.
From time to time, and here and
there, steps have been taken to make
the course clear for those who would
go back to the soil If only they knew
the way. It is of the greatest import
ance to some Of the states. and to all
the nation, that the way shall be
shown these people. The state guar
antee behind the land, skilfully sur
veyed under state auspices, would give
1t the value and security that goes
with city property guaranteed by a
trust

A New Cancer Cure.

London Times: Munich-All Ger
many Is obsessed with the idea Of pro-
curing mesothorium to be used as a
panacea for ANGER. It Is stated to
have h power of emanating rays
similar to but much more effective
than radium, and the cost seems to
be almost as great. The substance is
derived from he thorium waste in the
manufacture Of gas mantles, and it is
used in tiny portions enclosed within
a silver covering in which extremely
small holes are pierced. The silver box
Is then placed upon the part affected
with cancerOus growth, and Is said
slowly but effectually to remove traces
Of the disease.
There is hardly a town Of import
ance in he country which has not vot-
ed a large sum from the public funds
for the purpose Of purchasing some of
the costly material, and where public
funds are not forthcoming, concerts,
bazaars, and such like can are
adopted for raising money for the
same purpose. Medical men to whom
I have spoken seem to favor the move
ment for procuring mesothorium, but
[ nave not been fortunate enough to
meet a medical man who has actually
tried 1t. Surgeons, on the other hand,
are not unanimous in their opinions.
A leading surgeon Informed me yester-
day that SO far as he could Judge the
new product may have beneficial eff
fects in many cases, just as radium is
also beneficial. but he could find no
proof that 1t is an actual p~anacea, and,
in fact, he is rather skeptical about
the claims made for it: this view Is
also taken by one or two leading prac-
titioners in the north. The surgeon
referred to case Of gastrocancer
where the mesothorium box, to which
a cord was attached, was lowered into
the stomach; the patient bit through
the cord and swallowed it, and was at
once operated upon for the purpose Of
recovering the valuable box. My in
formant stated that one might con-
ceivably be a little prejudiced by read
ing the report Of this case, but thought
that 1t might be as well to reserve a
final opinion on the merits of the rem
edy until there were mort data to go
upon instead OF at onc deciding in its
favor, as appears to have been done
by all laymen and most medical men.
