COLLECTION OF ORR KIDS.
A Bunch That Must Have Impressed
the Naturalist as Being Ex
ceedingly Fine.
One of the stories John Burroughs, the
»ii«(i naturalist, loves to tell lias to do with
a friend of his named Orr, says the Now
York Press. On one of his trips Mr. Bur
roughs happened to be in the town where
Mr. Orr lives. Meeting him in the street
Mr. Burroughs insisted that his friend
should accompany htm to the hotel tor
luncheon. As they were eating ;\lr. Bur
roughs inquired if his friend was not in
terested in any specialty.
"1 think." said the naturalist, "every
man ought to have a collection of some
kind. It adds zest to life."
"Oh, yes," said his friend. "1 have quite
a collection. 1 am interested in flowers.
Come home with me and I'll show them
to you."
As they approached the Orr home six
fine, healthy children, playing on the lawn,
ran to meet their father.
"These," sanl Mr. Orr, with a twinkle in
liis eye, "form inv collection of orchids.
Ain't they grand specimens?"

ment to the world "Bright's Disease can

ble, and it developed into Blight's Dis
ease. He treated it with Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and to-day he is a well man. In an
interview he says:
"I can't say too much for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. I had Kidney Disease for fif
teen years and though 112 doctored for it
with the best doctors here and in Chi
cago, it developed into Height's Disease.
Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and two boxes cured me completely. 1

A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure any other form of Kidney
Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills never fall

"When Mrs. Williams was asked foi
eoine details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
" Ever since I had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, I have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw 1110 into a .state of lifeless
lioss. At tlio beginning my strength
would come back in a moderate time,
but the period of weakness kept length
ening until at last I would lie helpless
as many as three hours at a stretch."
" You were under medical treatment,
of course? 1
" Yes, when I became so bad that I
had to give up my housework, in May of
191)3, I was being treated fir kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life. I
was not only weak, but I had dizzy
feelings, palpitatiou of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did lue so littlo good
that I gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
" What saved you from your state of
hopelessness? "
"In July of 1003 I had a very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with a littlo book which told of remark
able cures effected by a remedy for the
Wood ami the nerves, Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. 110 bought a box for me, and
that was the beginning of my return to
health. Myappetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quieted, and my strength bewail tore-
Vive."
"How long did you take this remedy?"
"For two months only. At the end
of that time I had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends say
that I am looking better than I have
done fort he past fifteen years."

By JAMES L. DAWSON.
Police Serdeant of St. Louis—Father of Juvenile Court Ides.
! reports and other ita recently obtained from a half
TTJ dozen of the leading in> istrial reformatories of this coun
try, covering years of ' me, I have no hesitancy whatever
in stating that in ever instance time lias proven the wis
dom of their establishment.
They are meeting every requirement and justifying
every expectation previously entertained by the friends of
the reformatory system; a system, by the way, which has
come i" stay. The principle embodied in this law rings
the death knell of "retributive justice," or so much punisli
| ment for so much crime.
Except upon the theory of retribution, why should a criminal be
I sent to prison for a definite period of time any more than a lunatic to
a hospital for the insane?
Again, as to the retributory theory of the criminal law in its prac
j tical application to criminals how is it possible to adjust crime and
i penalty to each other unless we find some accurate measure of guilt
\ on the one hand and suffering on the other, which seems to be im-
I possible?
The law deals with crime and from whatever cause it may be com
' mitted, the effort of the law should be to reform, not to confirm the
evil-doer.
Definite sentences are never reformatory, since they are in fact
I retributory and founded on the act which is passed, having occurred
i prior to the sentence, and therefore irrevocable.
Reformatory sentences can be based only on the character of
; the person which it is desired to convert. But the time required to
alter it cannot be estimated in advance any more than we can tell how
long it will take for a lunatic to recover from an attack of insanity.
It must be borne in mind that a large majority of those sent to
: penal institutions are committed in tliat youthful period of their exist
ence when character and habits are formed. It must be borne in mind,
also, that crime is a condition before it is an act.
This condition is social more than individual, environmental more
than hereditary.
It arises through the failure of the fundamental institutions (the
j home, school, church, society, etc.). The responsibility for this neg
i lect or failure does not rest upon the youthful offender, it is true, but
| upon those whose duty it was to prepare him for the tasks of life,
which, when forced upon him in early manhood, completely upset
his previous habits of existence.
The responsibility rests upon their shoulders, but the retribution
j falls upon him, and, regarded from this point of view, he is to be pitied
i as much as blamed.
How often does it occur that actual want of ability by such youths
is mistaken for idleness, carelessness or want of will, and punishment
is inflicted when it is out of order, and often marks the beginning of a
criminal career? And it is really astonishing to note how rapidly a
youthful offender, once thoroughly started on a career of crime, dc-
I serts the straight and narrow path and goes down to destruction as if
crime was governed by the law of gravity. Dean Wayland said: "It
is not impertinent or irrelevant to inquire whether society is sufficiently
guarded, or whether the innocent, law-abiding citizen receives a fair
j equivalent for taxes 'well and truly paid' into the treasury of the state,
j when dangerous and incorrigible criminals are let loose upon the com
munity simply because an arbitrary or definite term of imprisonment
is ended. Indeed, it cannnot be doubted that there is no more effectual
j agency for creating and fostering a criminal class than a series of
j short sentences for repeated violations of the law."
In the words of my friend and co-worker, Dr. Pettijohn, of j
Brookfield, Mo.: "If the only benefits society receives from their
| being thus held is the sense of security while their term of imprison-
I ment lasts, as well might we claim the tiger's cub until his muscles are
strengthened and his fangs full grown, and then turn him loose with
greater powers for evil and destruction."

I know a woman of fine culture and high character who will not '
trade her gift for commercial purposes, but who has a most remark
able power known as psychemetry—the power of holding a sealed let
-1 ter in her hand and giving a diagnosis of the physical condition of the
writer and a picture of his character; of taking a bit of stone from an
ancient villa of Cicero, for example, the nature of which is entirely
unknown to her, and calling up a vision of the villa as it existed in
| Cicero's time and of its owner. She is incapable of fraud and her case
is but one of others which I know.
Mesmerism was laughed out of court at the opening of our cen
tury, and it is back again, in good standing, under the alias of ''hyp
notism." So one may run 011 through a list of strange, unaccountable,
mysterious and most unbelievable powers of man, leading up to that
nightmare of the dogmatic scientist, spiritism.
h'or the first time in the history of man these powers have been
| scientifically investigated iti our day. Already the result is that a con
-1 siderable number of eminent men of science have had the courage to
, avow that, after allowing fur illusion, fraud and every possible
hypothesis of interpretation, they have been driven up to the ultimate
; solution of the problem—the belief in the actual communication of the
: spirits of those whom we call dead, with the living.
The possibilities of mental medicines are only being opened. Its
application to the most distressing form of human malady, insanity, is
full of beneficent results. Its potency in character reform and the cure
of the drink habit seems vast and benign.
Religious faith is finding its true foundations in the recognition
of man as a spiritual being, a being who has had dominon over nature
given to him, as the child of a vaster Spiritual Being, the Lord of all
life.

SHORT TALK ON GRAFTING
Some of the Underlying Principles o
the Process—Good and Poor
Unions.
In the work of grafting the nature of
| the union stock and scion is not very
| generally understood. It is often a
I mooted question among those who make
a scientific study of pomology. A true
: appreciation of the principles will prova
j valuable in the practice of horticulture.
Some worthy and valuable research
along this line has been prosecuted at
j the Massachusetts experiment station
j under the leadership of Prof. F. A.
j Waugh.
Prof. Watigh speaks of grafting as
| the union of scion with stock. In the
! vast majority of cases the prime object,
in fact the sole object of grafting is to
He. 1 1 .eft Craft. Klg. 2.—Hud Graft,
secure this union. The nature of the
! union is generally understood to deter
mine the whole success or failure of the
| graft. These phrases, good unions and
| poor unions, are common in horticulture,
yet their significance is generally un
known. The facts are often wrongly
guessed and the whole nature of the mat
ter at times essentially misunderstood.
It is pointed out by Prof. Waugh that
in herbaceous grafting (where soft
growing parts are used) there is no gen
eral commingling of the cells of scion
and stock as has been popularly imag
ined. The original scion and the origin
al stock remain to the end of their ex
istence very largely separate and dis
tinct. Disregarding for a moment the
very thin cambium zone, the stock and
scion are made up wholly of deaa wood
and bark. With perfectly negligible ex
ceptions the cells are all dead, totally
and forever. It is absolutely impossible
for them to grow or to unite with any
thing. One might as well talk of mak
ing a lead pencil unite with a penholder
or a neckyoke with a singletree. The
two may be glued together, waxed to
gether, tied together, but they can never
unite.
The thin sheet of cambium, lying be
tween the bark and the wood, is the only
portion of the tree stem which is really
alive, the only portion which can grow .
and is therefore the part where we must
look for the beginning of the graft union.
Note Fig. 1, which is a diagram of a cleft
graft three years old. The black por
tions represent the wood of the original
scion and stock; the white portions
three annual layers of wood which have
grown since the graft was made.
It has long been the dream of gar
deners to produce new kinds of plants
by the graft union of new scions and
stocks. Our present observations show
this to be impossible. No matter how
closely the two kinds of cells may lie
against one another, their contents are i
never mingled in the production of the 1
cell. The cell tissues of the stock and
scion may commingle or lap in together
somewhat in the line of union, but this '
mixture is only mechanical, not physio- j
logical. The experiments were con- I
ducted with bud unions, and from our j
view there is no difference between a |
bud graft and a long scion graft.
Fig. 2 shows diagramatically the j
growth of a bud when set upon a stock.
The black portion represents the wood j
of the stock, the shaded portion the bud
or scion and the white portion three an- ''
nual layers of growth which have been j
put on since the Lud was set. In this '
case, as with the common graft, the lay
ers of the new growth are continuous,
running from top to bottom without any
break at the plane of junction.
If the normal union of scion and stock
Is made of such complete and continuous
cylinders of annual growth as above
mentioned, one will naturally ask the
reasons for the unsuccessful unions. The
answer is not an altogether easy one.
We may approach it by saying that,
when the two members are unlike in na
ture and in some way physiologically in
compatible, the wood does not heal read
ily, owing to some sort of irrigation
which continues to be felt at this point.
After a close study of a large number
of defective scions, Prof. Waugh has
reached the opinion that they are al
most always due to this incompatibility j
of stock and scion.
It is a common notion among horti- j
culturists that careless or ignorant man
ipulation in the grafting will lead to j
poor unions. There seems to be little
ground for this opinion. If the stock and j
scion are of varieties which are congen- j
ial, and if the graft or bud grows at all, '
the union will nearly always be good, j
Poor manipulation will often cause the i
failure, of a large percentage to grow,
but it seldom affects permanently the j
strength of the union in those grafts
which live at all. This interesting bulle- '
tin covering these facts in detail is now
ready for distribution.

Appalling' Increase in the Number of Operations

Going through the hospitals in our |

a large proportion of the patients lying

Why should this be tlio ease? Sim

are certainly on the increase among

plenty of warning in that bearing

womb or irregularities. All of these;
symptoms are indications of an un
healthy condition of the ovaries or

has to be paid by a dangerous operat ion.
