"Ri'liuhllrnna throughout tho Interior

when they do It doeri not. moan that the

more anxious did It not hocome more
evident every day that the 'reform la
prompted more by an effort to act up
a rival organization than to really un
cover political or bus-intss rottonnc?.
Why should this not be so when It 1b

IT PAYS
TO ADVERTISE
IN THIS PAPER
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
"Eugenics," Science of Race tmprevt-
ment .
"Eugenics" Is a word composed
from Greek words by Francis Galon,
an English scientist, and defined by
him as the science that deals with
everything relating to the Improve
ment of a race. Its aim Is to repre
sent each class or sect by Ha best
specimens, and then to allow these to
work out their common clvlllratlon In
their own way.
If "eugenics" was practiced the aver
age quality of a nation would be
raised to that of Its better part now,
and men of an order of ability now
rare would become more frequent, be
cause the level out of which they rose
would Itself have been raised.
Among the ways In which the best
specimens of the race may be pre
served, marriage Is one of the most
important. If marriages unsuitable
from the eugenic point of view were
viewed with disfavor, few would be
made.
Mr, Gallon's new word la really sim
ply another name for what Darwin
called "natural selectlon"an4 Herbert
Sp?ncer denominated "the survival of
the Attest." He, however, thinks that
the Improvement of mankind is a mat
ter that the race should take up Intel
ligently and scientifically and not
leave to nature's operation alone.
Hearty Farewell.
The old friends had enjoyed their
three days together. In spite of the
fact that tact was not a conspicuous
quality of either of them.
"You have quite a pretty place here,
John," said the guest, as he took a
final look about him on the morning
of his departure. "Quite a pretty plaee,
though it looks a bit bare as yet"
"O, that '8 because the trees are so
young," said the host, comfortably. "I
hope they'll have grown to a good size
see how much Improved the place will
be," and they shook hands with mutu
al affection and good-will. Youth's

Making Cheap Brlcke.
Bricks are now being made of elean
sand and ground quicklime that are
said to be as substantial as granite,
They cost $2.60 per 1,000. The mixed
Ingredients are forced Into a strong cy
linder mold by means of a screw.
After the air has been sucked from the
cylinder hot water Is admitted, the
rock being formed by the resulting
pressure and heat. Country Life In
America.
Goldfish and Mosquitoes.
Prof. W. L. Underwood of the Mass
achusetts Institute of Technology re
ports that mosquito larvae are a favor
ite food for goldfish, and that the In
troduction of goldfish into many small
streams of New England where mos-
i qultoes breed would be preferable to
the use of kerosene in destroying the
pest.
Freak Lightning.
Lightning at Cape Neddlck village,
York, Me., played a peculiar freak
recently. A bolt struck the house of
Silas Norman, passed through the
body of a mason named Fernald, who
was working In the house, killed a dog
at the tatter's side, and set fire to the
building. Fernald was critically
burned.
Languages in England.
Vp to the commencement of the
reign of Edward I., all letters, even
of the most private nature, were writ
ten in Latin. About the time of Ed
ward's accession, French, which had
been the spoken language of the court
from the time of the Conquest, began
to be used in written correspondence.
Peaches and Snow.
On the morning of May 15, 1834, the
people of Bennington, Vt, awoke to
find the ground covered with snow to
a depth of fully six Inches. The ap
ple and peach trees were then In
bloom and the scene presented was. In
the wor d of the chronicler, "gorgeous
but far from encouraging."
Destruction of Pompeii.
Pompeii was partly demolished by
an earthquake In G3 A. D. It was after
ward rebuilt, but was overwhelmed by
an eruption of Vesuvius on the night
of Aug. 24, 79. The' ashes buried the
whole city to a depth of 90 to 125 feet.
Life in Korea.
Tea is almost unknown in Korea.
The diet consists principally of rice,
pork, and dog meat. Beds are not
used; the natives sleep on tho floor,
which Is covered with oiled paper.
Valuable Silver Gray Fox.
Joseph Ganion, of Colebrook, N. IU
recently trapped a silver gray fox In
the Colebrook district. He values the
skin of the animal at 1200, and re
fused an offer of $125 for It.
A Difficult Feat.
A German Inn keeper on the Swiss
border has undertaken, as a result of
a wager, to roll a barrel full of wine
across Switzerland and Italy to Rome.
The Smallest Ponies.
The two smallest ponies In the
world were recently exhibited In Ham
burg. They are so small a man can
carry both of them at once.
An English county Judge recently re
marked : "Not a single case comes In
to court but what there Is perjury on
one side or the other."

A3 KNOX VIEWS IT
Republicans Competent to Take Care
of Their Own Affairs.
Under the caption, "Good Advlcs
From Senator Knox," the editor of the
Erie Dally Times says:
"United States Senator Knox, in a
brief Interview on the political situa
tion In Pennsylvania, stated to a Pitts
burg Dispatch representative Wednes
day that he did not see any reason for
resorting to any reform movement to
regulate any evils that may exist In
the Republican party. The senator
stated In a fow, but well chosen words,
his Idea of the situation, and It wait
for tho Republicans to tako care of
their own affairs and to let the Demo
crats do the same thing.
"There are. of course, a good many
people who call themselves reformers,
but who ar mostly soreheads, dlsnp
polnted aspirants for office or hopeful
Democrats who are anxious for a broth
In the Republican ranks for no other
reason than that they may profit there
by. Senator Knox Is a safe, thorough
going, highly respected official, and It
did not take htm long to size up tht
situation and put It in the proper HsM
before the people of this common
wealth. The Republican party will at
tend to whatevor reforms are neces
sary, and there will b no disposition
shown to prevent all sincere reformer!
and good Democrats going along In the
band wagon, but the leader of the bnnd
will be a Republican, and the Republi
cans will attend to the necessary re
forms themselves. That much may as
well be understood first as last"
