THE BLACKBERRY PATCH,
The blackberry patch near the garden
fence—
What marvels its depths may hold!
And far in its jungle what strange events
Await, to challenge the bold!
What cosy corners which none can see
Who chances to know them noi!
Ami oft from the cares of the day I flee
To visit the friendly spot.
And lo! when T gaze at the tangled rows
Where a thousand times I've been,
A queer liitle boy, with freckled nose,
Appears and leads me in.
Together we crawl on hands and knees
Through a barbed ami winding way,
And here, in the midst of the ants and bees,
To our hearts' delight we play.
He shows me his treasures, one by one:
The nest of the old black lien,
The web by the monstrous spider spun;
The terrible bandit's den;
The cunning retreat where Towser hides
When he wants enjoy a bone;
And many a curious thing besides,
Confided to me, alone.
Have you guessed the secret? Why, don't
you know?
That queer little boy is I!
And he takes me into the Long Ago,
Where the realms of Childhood lie.
We play at the wonderful make-believe
We often have played before.
Till the dawn arrives, and from morn till
I am only a man once more.

THE CRIMINAL AND THE
PHILANTHROPIST.

I torious criminal, Louis
"£*■ Barrage?" asked the phil
anthropist, doubtfully.
"Certainly," said the big man In the
easy chair, lie looked good-natured
and at the same time rather tired and
contemptuous. He had been through
it all; tlie accepted ideas and the usual
people did not matter much; but there
■was no reason to he angry with them j
or anything else.
"I was extremely glad that our mu
tual friend, Mr. Timmins, was able to |
induce you to come and pay me a visit.
I need not assure you of our good
faith. You have nothing to fear."
A smile flashed over the criminal's
face: the philanthropist went 011 rap
idly:
"We are not in with the police. 1
won't say we oppose them—that would
he illegal—but we are not in sympathy
with them. Now, before we begin to
talk, what may I offer you? A cup of
tea"—valiantly outiug with his proof
that he was 110 fanatic —"a whisky and
soda? And what about a cigarette?"
"Thanks," said the criminal; "I never
drink at three in the. afternoon. For
that matter, I never drink tea or whis
key at any time; they undoubtedly
spoil t lie nerve. For the same reason
I prefer my pipe, if you don't mind?"
"By all means. I'm afraid I smoke
four of these every day of my life,
and sometimes it runs to five or six
more habit. Now. my views are pretty
well known, and it would interest me
extremely to have the views of a great
—I should perhaps say remarkable
criminal upon them. I hold that the
prison ruins the body, lowers the in
tellect and destroys the soul." The
last phrase came pat and mechanical.
The philanthropist had used it ou many
platforms.
"Undoubtedly," said the criminal.
•'But what else can you expect?"
"Surely in this twentieth century,"
the philanthropist began, and stopped
blankly.
"Briefly, there are more stupid and
ignorant people than clever and well
informed people. Our method of treat
ing criminals pleases the stupid aud ig
norant majority."
"You're quite right," said the phil
anthropist, eagerly. "That majority
must be educated. Already there has
been some advance. Look at the sen
tences that used to be carried out less
than a hundred years ago; they would
not he tolerated now But there Is
much to bo learned. Now I see tlio
prison of the future as a handsome,
well-lighted, airy place, with a fine
garden attached and a swimming
bath, and—er—a gymnasium and li
brary. and—or—everything of that sort.
There would he comfortable recrea
tion-rooms, bagatelle perhaps bil
liards. Gambling and had language?
of course, prohibited. There would he
an employment bureau, which would
look after* every mau when lie had
finished his term. There would be a
system of rewards for good conduct,
aiul there would be a good deal of mu
sic—we should believe in a refining
process."
The philanthropist was conscious
that ho had put it better 011 platforms.
There was something in tlie criminal's
good-nalured and contemptuous eye
that disconcerted him.
"How does it strike you?" lie asked.
When the criminal was able to speak
for laughing, lie said: "Excuse me—it's
rubbish, of course!"
"You don't think that as a method of
reclamation " Again the philan
thropist stopped blankly.
> "No criminal is ever reclaimed. Peo
ple who are not criminals, hut have
made mistakes, may see the advantage
of not making any more—that happens
sometimes. But the natural criminal j
remains the natural criminal, just as
the natural genius remains a genius,
and for just the same reasons. En
vironment and circumstance may make
the occasional criminal, but the real
tiling—that is inborn, that is the man
himself."
"Oh. but I can't hold with you there,"
said the philanthropist, plucking up
heart. "That is a desperate doctrine.
And ilie facts are all against you. Do
you know the work that the Salvation
Array is doing?"
"Certainly. It is well meant. And
you may depend upon a religious orgy
to produce in some people a kind of
hypnotic state under which suggestion
nets very strongly on them. That ia
found in all religions. The perma
nence of the conversion in the real
criminal depends on the hypnotic con
dition and the suggestion being fre
quently renewed. Take these away
and the man goes back again; he is
no more reclaimed than I am."
"That's not my version of it at all,"
sadi the philanthropist.
"No?"
"And look here. You think the pres
ent penal system nil wrong. You
seem to have 110 faith in wide-minded
religious and philanthropic endeavors.
What is left?"
"Science. The study of the correla
tion of mental and physical abnor
malities is in its infancy; on the moral
side the map of the brain is very in
complete. There are some splendid
things in their early stages. If we get
on as fast this century as we did last
in our study of the human double
dumpling we shall have practically
settled the criminal question by the
end of it."
"It's awful—this idea of that irre
sponsibility of the criminal."*
"On the contrary, it's most hope
ful."
"And how is the brain of the criminal
to be altered?"
"How should I know? I'm not a
doctor. By altering the character of
the blood supplied to it, I suppose.
Possibly by operation—the. tendency
nowadays seems to be toward more
knife and less pill-box. Of course,
where nothing else can be done the
criminal will be killed. I personally
ought to he killed, and should be if I
were in a civilized country. I am
the real thing. But we hang only
murderers, who nearly always are use
ful people, and ought not to be killed
at all. It's a funny world. But I am
afraid I shall never make you see
these things my way. In any ease I
must be off. I am going to—l shall
he rather busy to-night, and I want, if
I can, to got a few hours' sleep first.
Good-by. Charmed to have met you."
He shook hands warmly with the
philanthropist and left quickly.
"Extraordinary case," the philan
thropist thought to himself. "Must
have had some smattering of educa
tion. Well dressed, too. Wonder if
there is any time to make a note of it
before I go to dress for the annual
dinner."
And then he noticed that a little hit
of his watch chain was hanging loose
from his buttonhole. The rest of it
had gone. So also had the very hand
some gold watch presented to him by
the committee, with the pretty in
scription about "twenty years of de

NEW IN STREET CAR TRAVEL.
Toledo Merchants Provide a PasHoiifjer
Station to Help Their Trade.
One of the novelties of street railway
travel in this country is a passenger
station provided rent free by the mer
chants of a certain street in Toledo. It
lias a newsstand in it and a parcel
check room adjoining.
Through this particular street five
car lines run, and they bring to the
city 011 an average 5000 passengers a
day. The merchants doing business in
the street, realizing the advantage to
themselves of having these passengers
alight there wanted the railway com
panies to establish the station.
The companies didn't see why they
should. So the merchants have done
it for themselves.
They have rented a large store for
three years and provided it with
benches and lockers. Any citizen may
rent a locker for Ave cents a day and
have packages sent there, to be put in
his bos. Then when the time comes
for him to go home lie can start with
his purchases without having had all
the trouble of lugging them about with
him all day.
The experiment, though a new one,
has been so successful already that it
is likely to he imitated elsewhere.—

Two great Minneapolis Hour mills
will soon bo burning Texas oil instead
of coal A street railway company
operating in that city, as well as St.
Paul, is also conducting experiments
with oil for the same purpose.
Corn oil, made from the germ, forms
the basis of a substitute for rubber
when vulcanized. This substitute com
pounded with sixty per cent, of com
mercial rubber is used in the manufac
ture of rubber boots, linoleum, wheel
tires, rubber blankets and many other
articles.
A new explosive, which is said to be
more powerful than dynamite, maxi
mite or lyddite, and yet which may be
handled with absolute safety, has been
invented by Professor G. M. Ilatli
away. It is named kathamite, after
Its Inventor, and at a recent public
test Frofessor Hathaway demonstrated
its safety by pounding the explosive
upon an anvil, throwing it into a lire
and firing rifte bullets through it at a
speed of 1850 feet a second, tn ordei
to fire the new explosive it is necessary
to use a strong detonating cap.
About IGO photographs of Nova Tor
sei were taken during the year at the
Greenwich Observatory. The results
of determinations of its parallax from
a study of these photographs wore
negative, the parallactic shift being
apparently insensible, probably not
more than one-twentieth of a second.
This would imply a distance from the
earth of at least sixty years of light
passage, and possibly much more, so
that there is really nothing impossible
in Professor Kapteyn's hypothesis that
the apparent expansion of the nebula
was simply duo to the outward pas
sage of the light from the nova, il
luminating In succession more and
more distant regions of nebulosity.
The distance required by this hypo
thesis is 290 light years, so that the
outburst we witnessed last year might
have taken place in the reign of James
1., and the star itself actually ceaserl
to exist many years ago.
Drs. Smite de Sanctis and i-I. Noyroz,
of Home, have invented an instrument
which tliey call a Griessbaeh etliesi
oifietor, and witli which they have re
cently been conducting experiments
to determine liow much excitation is
necessary before sleeping people begin
to move, and how much it requires to
wake them. The sleepers are prodded
with this instrument until the desired
data are obtained. "It may be used
with either a sharp or a blunt point."
Tlie practical or scientific value of tbe
information to lie derived from this
investigation is any thing but obvious,
and the necessity of a special instru
ment for securing it is even less so.
There are so many factors entering into
"sleepiness" muscular, mental, fa
tigue, the condition of tlie stomach,
the temperature, pathological condi
tions, temperament, etc.—that the bare
determination of the stimulus neces
sary to awaken a sleeper would have
almost 110 psychological value.
A house of artificial stone blocks,
two-thirds of which are material and
the rest hollow, will soon be built at
New Orleans. The mold in which the
blocks are built is a simple contriv
ance.' It consists of a foundation pro
vided willi three rectangular columns,
that may be elevated, whose dimen
sions are those of tlie cavities in tlie
blocks; to tlie foundation of tbe mold
are hinged its ends and sides, which
let down. When tlie ends and sides
of llie mould arc in position, it is mere
ly a box; a plate is let down upon the
bottom of the mould; then tlie columus
at tlie bottom of tlie mould are ele
vated through openings in the plate.
Tlie mould is then in readiness to re
ceive the mixture of sand and Port
land cement, which is shovelled into
the mould, tilling the entire space sur
rounding the elevated columns. It is
tamped with great force. After tlie
tamping process, tlie sides and ends of
the mould are let down, the columns
are depressed, and tlie plate on which
the materials were poured is lifted
out, with the manufactured block rest
ing upon it. Tlie blocks are put out in
tlie air, and in the course of a week
they are ready to lie used for building.
Tliey should not be subjected to too
groat heat from the sun, and it is neces
sary to moisten tlieni each day. The
groat simplicity of the process lies in
the fact that sand is absolutely incom
pressible, and tamping secures as com
plete results as are obtained from the
pressing of clay in making the finer
qualities of bricks, and with very much
smaller expenditure of labor. The
sand and cement are moistened while
being mixed.
Gall and Grit.
Gall, in tlie present use of tlie term,
is a persistent determination to do.
It is a twin brother to Grit. It is a
busiuess-bringer that brings. It is tlie
bell-wether that jumps tlie fence and
gets fat 011 the clover. It is the Gall
that wins when the other mail lias
dealt his cards from tlie bottom of tlie
deck. Gall is the anti-fat of fate. It is
the safest substitute for brains—it is
many a politician's capital stock. In
this new century rush to wiu you must
lie brave. Therefore lie not ashamed
of your Gall. Add to it Grit—and

FAMILIES GROWING SMALLER.
American Birtli Kate HUH LTCEN Declining
Since 1600, SuyH Dr. Kngelmitnn.
Dr. George J. Engolmann, of Boston,
has been gathering statistics regarding
the size oil American families, and has
sent the vesult to the Journal of the
American Medical Association. Ilis
conclusion is that the number of births
in American families has been steadily
declining ever since 1000, and is now |
rapidly approaching the statistical level
of France.
Dr. Engelmann's observations are
based upon 1700 cases in private and
dispensary practice in St. Louis and
the study of 2038 cases from the genea
logical records of Massachusetts. These
are his conclusions:
Among the laboring classes 21.2 per
cent, of American-born married women
are childless, and among the so-called
higher classes 23.G per cent.
While the number of childless women
is great the average number of children
born to each woman is small, and lias
been steadily growing smaller. From
1000 to IGSO the number of children in
each family averaged G.7; from 1804 to
1871 it had fallen to 4.27. At tlie pres
ent time, among the laboring classes,
cf St. Louis, at any rate, it has fallen
to slightly over 2.0, and among other
Americans it is only 1.8.
Still another investigator in Massa
chusetts has been figuring on the same
subject. Taklug the census of 1895 as
a basis he estimates that among Ameri
can-born married women in that State
20.2 per cent, are childless. Among the
the foreign-born married women the
childless proportion i$ only 11.02 per
cent.
Diversion in Rest.
That physical rest may he obtained
by bringing into play a different set
of muscles from those previously in
use is illustrated in the old story of
the pugmill mule that was found to
step off briskly In the afternoon it
allowed to reverse the motion of the
mill. The child who produces incipient
giddiness by twisting up a swing,
brings the unequal congestion of the
centres of equilibrium to a balance by
a rap'd untwisting motion. Absolute
rest of mind or body scarcely exists,
relative rest or modification of the
mode of activity gives a sensation of
rest at any rate. After a long daj r of
close visual application, wben tbe
bands press tbe tired eyes (although
this particular mode of stimulating
visual sensation may be harmful),
bow delightful to many persons are
tbe subjective sensations of color—the
kaleidoscopic effects that come and go
with slight variations in pressure/ The
brain finds rest in an objectless play
of color; so the tired mind seeks rest
from the stress of routine duties, not
in the unconsciousness of sleep, but in
the frolicsome vaudeville, or the per
usal of light literature or the news
paper. Perhaps this explains to some
extent the wonderful demand for books
of fiction and magazines, as well as
for the plotless stage performance so
characteristic of these days of strenu
ous intellectual life.—American Medi
cine.

It was more thau annoyiug that she

The Country's l'atnt Output.
About thirty million gallons of mixed
paint were sold in the United States
during 1901. Tbe greater portion of
this was not used in the large cities
but in tbe towns and villages where
the structures are of wood. In 110
country is so much paint made as in
tbe United States of America, and tbe
bulk of that paint is composed of lead,
zinc and linseed oil, and only the dark
er shades are made of oxides of iron
und other pigments.
Many manufacturers use a small
quantity of water in their mixtures,
and when the quantity of water is not
over two per cent, it cannot be re
garded as an adulterant. Tbe water
used is usually slightly alkaline, and
in the* case of lime water it forms a
calcium soap with linseed oil and
thickens the paint so that it never
settles bard in tbe tin and is easily
stirred.—Scientific American.
A Substitute For Sleep.
A London paper says that the health
of people in fashionable society is being
dangerously threatened by a new drug
which is popularly regarded as a sub
stitute for sleep. Very discreetly it
declines to name this dangerous sub
stance Wben tea was first introduced
into Europe it was commended for the
same virtues, and it was believed that
It would no longer be necessary to
waste seven or eight hours in sleep.
But extended experience has shown
the disastrous results of cutting short
the period of natural rest and keeping
awake by the help of tea. and there is
no reason to suppose that oiiemists will
ever be able to devise any substitute
for sleep which will not in tbe long
run bring nervous breakdown.

The Petunia.
The petunia in its habit of blooming
partakes of the constancy of other ten
der perennial bedding plants, being
much more continuous in blooming
than most of the true annuals. On
this account petunias in a fair state of
cultivation will be found to bloom con
tinuously from June to fall, a great ad
vantage in home embellishments.
There is special pleasure for the
home gardener in growing the free
flowering single strains. In adaptabil
ity petunias have an advantage ovtv
Hi most every other seed grown flower.
Do you want a fine pot plant for the
window sill? The petunia will 1111 the ,
bill second to no other kind.
Do you require something suitable <
for continuous bloom in a large vase
or in a veranda box? The petunia
will perfectly meet your wants. Is it a
tine mass of flowers on the lawn or a
lively contribution to the mixed flower
border than is desired? Nothing will
meet the need us will the various
petunias,
Do you desire to display taste in
training flowers over trellises or to
form pillars, cones or balls? Then we
counsel the use of single petunias.
They are perfectly adapted to such
purposes.
A trellis of light stakes and wire is
so simple that a child can make it.
One plant is set at each of the stakes,
these being about lifteen inches apart. j
The training is a delightful task. To ,
cause branches to spread, pinch back /
the leaders; to elongate the growth in V
any given spot nip back the lateral j
shoots.
Insoluble Phosphate*.
The use of insoluble phosphates,
whether in the form of phospliatie
rock or of the so-called Thomas slag,
has long been a bone of contention
or debatable matter, not only among
the scientific men, but the practical
farmers. The former have questioned
whether the insoluble phosphate could
be of any value as plant food, and
some of the farmers have claimed that
their crops were very much benetitcd
by it. Although we have not tested
It, our opinion lends us to believe that
the farmers are right, and those who
rely only on scientilic principles may
be wrong. We do not place sufficient
confidence in the power of the soil
and the action of frosts, rain and sum- ,
mer heat upon what are sometimes W
called insoluble fertilizers. We know
little of the power that these elements
may exert, and when to the natural
elements of the soil there may be added
the effect of decomposing vegetable
matter, either as stable manure or as
green manure plowed under, we can
only say that "we think they have much
effect in making soluble not only phos
phatic but other mineral elements in
the soil. Those who have used the
finely ground rock or Thomas slag
upon fields which had received a lib
eral dressing of stable manure, or
had been treated with a green crop
plowed under, are so unanimously in
lis favor that we cannot doubt but
that the so-called insoluble phosphates
do become soluble in the soil under
certain conditions, depending upon the
soil or the treatment it has received.— '

Tho Seventeen-Year Cicada. C
The seventeen-year- cicada, or locust,
as it is more generally but wrongly
called, is now in full possession of the
territory in which It is due. In all *
probability succeeding broods will bo
less destructive, as the areas over
which It occurs are less favorable for
egg-laying than formerly. Another
important, factor in its destruction is
the English sparrow. This is particu
larly true in public parks and other
places near cities and towns. The
