BY GEORGE B. WATERS

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Ameri-
ca has had year of prohibition. Has
It been success?
John F. Kramer, head of the prohi-
bition enforcement division here, says
1t has been a marked success. But
when l called on him he didn't try to
make me believe that he had all the
saloons closed and all the bootleggers
in Jail.
"We have figures to show that
there are only about 800 saloons
running in New York" said Kramer.
"Beer seems to have almost disap-
peared except in Pennsylvania. lntox-
icants are more plentiful in Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey than IN any
other states.
Gas to the greatest benefit brought
by years prohibition, | would say
that it has been geeting strong drink
out of the reach of boys and girls
who have developed appetites for it.
"a topper with an insane appetite
for liquor will drink up his wife's
perfume, but one never heard of a
normal boy contracting the habit OF
drink by attacking a perfume bottle.
Nor is codliver oil and raZo, contain
ing alcohol, substitute for road
house debauch by young men and
women, whereas many of the old
drinkers are consuming all these pre-
parations they can get.

books two more years and drinking
will be lost art"

RISK LIVES CARRYING MAILS
Swiss Postmen Face Grave Dancers
in Execution of Their Duty
Among the Mountains.

There are several post Offices In
Switzerland at height of 1000 or
more feet and mail box on the very
summit of the Vanguard from which
four collections are made daily. is
nearly 10000 feet above the sea level.
Near here some years ago three letter
carriers were crushed to death by an
avalanche. In an adjacent canton. in
the summer of 1868, a postman fell
into a crevasse while crossing a gla-
cier, his two full bags on his back.
All efforts to recover either the body
or the mails were fruitless. But 81
years afterward, in 1897, the glacier
cast forth its prey many miles lower
down the valley, and the long-lost let
tiers were delivered to as many of the
addresses as could be traced.
Not infreQuenty, too, these Alpine
postmcn are attacked by the huge
fierce cagles that soar hungrily above
the least freQuented crags Usually
the men are able to beat off their
feathered assailants but not always.
In July one year a poStman who car
ried the mails On foot between the viii
lagos of Sospello and Puget Theniers
was fatally mauled by three such
birds. OF two men who attempted to
avenge his death one was killed out
right and another injured so severely
that his life was for a long time in
danger

DEAL JUSTLY WITH CHILDREN
Almost Every Country Now Has
Courts to Handle Cases of Juve-
nile Delinquency.

The example set by the United
States in establishing juvenile courts
has been followed by all the princi-
pal countries Of Europe. Spain, the
last to fall in line, has adopted the
modern viewpoint that delinquent chill
dren should not be treated as crimi-
mails, but rather as victims of adverse
conditions and surroundings. In work
ing out the details OF the law, Spanish
authorities have followed America 5
experience, according to information
received by the childrens bureau Of
the United States department of
labor.
Under the Spanish law the children's
judge is not necessarily a member of
the bench. He is assisted by two adj
visory members appointed by the COM
mission for the protection of children.
Privacy is guarded very closely in the
Spanish Juvenile courts no one eN-
cept probation officers is allowed in
the court unless by special permission,
aud the press is forbidden to publish
any information about eases of Juvenile
deliDquents.
Since Chicago established the first
juvenile court in 1899, similar courts
have been established in England.
France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Russia,
Austria and Hungary.

SPIDER REALLY HAS BRAINS
is Possessed of Degree of Intelligence
That Has Been Recognized by
Scientists.

Spiders are commonly spoken of as
insects, but they aren't. They belong
to very different order of animals,
being "arachnids."
They get this name, by the way,
from NEUROLOGICAL maiden named
Arachne, who was so proud Of her
weaving that she challenged Minerva
to a trial of skill The goddess &C
cepted the challenge, but finding her
self in danger Of defeat lost her tenn
per, struck her presumptuous rival and
turned her into spider.
The spider is incomparably more
intelligent than any insect, and its
cleverness as a maker Of nets obtain
ed for it q well-warranted admiration.
1t is the female that does this work,
the male being only q fraction of her
size and Of no account except for con-
tinuing the species,
A spider has what may be called a
recognizable brain. But so, for the
matter of that has a caterpillar,
though less we'll developed The nerv-
Gus system of the latter is mere string
with knots of nerve stuff (ganglia) at
intervals along it.

DRAWN WITH MASTER HAND
Walter Scott's Portraits of the Past a
Notable Contribution to Eng
fish Literature.

No wonder that Walter Scott, who,
having shown the world in the Min
strelsy and the Lay that he was ed
itor and poet, and being himself q
novel reader, should be utterly dissat-
iSfied with the quality of the existing
supply. The French Revolution, dis
tinguished by its leveling principle and
feudal empire for an effete monarchy :;
and even when Napoleon was redivid-
ing Europe into kingdoms and princi-
palities for his family and his follow
ers, there had sprung up-or rather
reviyed-a deep devotion to the chiv-
airy which had done so much in the
past and whose traditions had in
grated grace into history and breathed
reality into song.
To this feeling, this principle, Scott
had ministered in his poems; and now,
acknowledged head of the romantic
school, he resolved to extend its linn
its, beyond the ballad to the narrative
poem and use prose as the more suit
able medium. He strove to delineate
the past as it seemed in the eyes of
men who were dubious of the present
and afraid of the future-noble, state
ly, glittering and gay, with the pulse Of
life ever beating to heroic measures.
His view of feudalism in THE Tails
man." 'Ivanhoe" and The Fair Maid
of Perth" was not the caricature a
few preceding authors had drawn, but
a portrait-faithful if idealized.-

SHRlNE'S MEANING NOT PLAIN
Erected to the Memory of japanese
Maid, But Its Precise Idea
Hardly Apparent.

One of the pretty shrines of Japan
Is based on the story of a beautiful
girl and to this day occidentals can
not figure out if the shrine was to
perpetuate a tragedy or an honor. The
story is that Yamatodake, one of the
greatest warriors in the history of the
country, halted for a night at the
village of Shinlodaira He was weary
of battle and strife, and sent out word
to the village that he wished to be
entertained by the pretticst girl there.
Kemachiya was selected, and it is told
how she spent the evening singing
and dancing for the warrior. He went
on his masterful way the next morning
leaving the little maiden to mourn his
passing, and to give birth to his child
in due time.
Now, the child died, as did its moth
err and the village erected the shrine,
and every few years it is rebuilt and
made more beautiful. But what no
occidental can discover is whether the
shrine was built to remind the citizens
of the militarism of the old days that
trOd with relentless heels on beggar
and wealthy alike, and thus to pay
tribute to a tragedy, or whether it
was built to show that the great war
rior honored the humble village by
taking one of it's membership into his
arms.

The Kangaroo received its name
through the failure of white men to
understand the language of the Aus
tralian bushmen. Captain Cook, dis
coverer Of Australia, gazing shoreward
one day, saw q group of natives about
what seemed to be q most peculiar
animal. He sent a group Of men
ashore to get it, and was still more
amazed when told of its shape. its
habit of carrying its young in a pouch
and its remarkable leaping ability. He
wanted the natives name for the spec

England.

Story of the Pansv.

The centenary of the pansy was cell
ebrated few years ago by the Eng
fish florists and the history of the
flower as given at the time was as fol-
lows:
"Just one hundred years ago Lady
Mary Bennett. a daughter of the earl
of Tankeryille, was so struck with the
simple beauty of a tiny wildling viola
tri-color that she collected some Of the
best plants and gave them careful Gull
tivation. The first batch of seedlings
raised by her gave such promise that
systematic selection was at once insti-
tuted, and, thereafter the Improvement
of the genus was taken up by the lead
ing growers. Thus to an enthusiastic
amateur we are indebted for one of
the most popular and beautiful Of our
garden flowers"

The NaVipenduIum.

One of the problems which naval
architects have to confront is the roll
ing of a ship on the waves, and the
"navipendulum" is an invention for
dealing with it eXperimentally
The apparatus consists Of two
parts: A plate to which a motion cor
responding to that of portion Of the
surface of a wave is impaired, and a
pendulum of peculiar shape which
rolls upon the moving plate in the man
ner of a vessel supported BY water.
The same pendulum can be made
to represent different vessels of given
size and shape by adding or removing
artificial resistance to the osciIlatory
motion.
This instrument has been employed
to study the rolling of the Italian bat
tleships as well as those of other
countries.

Taking Care of Indoor Plants,

To make ferns grow rapidly indoors
and look fresh and green, chop few
oysters fine and mix with the SOFA md
then water Well This may be done
every fortnight Wash the leaves OF
your rubber plant with cloth wet
with olive oil. This nourishes the
plant and keeps the leaves dark green
and velvety. Add a few drops of am
monia to quart of lukewarm water
when you water house plants. The
chemical acts as a tonic and fertilizer
and makes the foliage fresher. And
be careful, when real winter weather
comes, not to water your plants with
water too cold. Water running from
faucet in January is far too cold
for tender plants. Add enough hot
water to make the drink you give Your
plants lullewarm-as rainwater always
is in summer time
