A New York newspaper remarks that
"ferries come and ferries go. bridges
rise and bridge* tall, but tunnels last
forever." There is a scientific truth in
the observation. Of all works of man
earthworks-plain earth mounds sod-

A properly constructed tunnel is es-
sentially a work in earth, and so al-
most as permanent as the great oJh>

Isaac T. Pratt, the veteran trapper of

week In a ravine traversed by th? Hell

ed about 335 pounds. The fur was in
prime condition, being thick, long and
glossy black. This is the third bear
that Mr. Pratt has captured within a
few days in that section and the av-
enty-ninth that he haa trapped during
his lifetime. The bear was the largos-
captured in Bennington county for
many years.
The figures now secured show that
the chance which the British soldier.*
had of being killed in South Africa
amounted to more than 2^ times the
risk they would have Incurred in bar-
racks in England. Thus stated, the
mortality seems small, but what must
be borne In mind is that during short
periods, say a few hours at a time dur-
ing the war. almost every man has
to run risks many hundreds times as
great as those of ordinary life, and
that a half hour's brush with the en-
emy carries a concentrated danger
which would mean certain death to
every man concerned if it lasted twen-
ty-four hours.

Matrimony and Brains.
It would seem, according to the I
opinions at aome educators that there |
ought to be written over the gates of |
matrimony, or at least over the 'la-
dles' entrance" to that happy state, the |
words: "Abandon brains all ye who |
enter here'" far matrimony and bralna |
are incompatible. This subject is a j
rather bare bone of contention, and it i
is one that does not admit of broad !
generalization. There are many wo- j
men who seem to have reconciled hus- I
bands and higher education; there are I
others who with that needed quallflca- J
tion for matrimonial happiness, a lack
of brains, are still unable to make a
success of that state; and there are
women who are successful in life with-
out either the husbands or the educa-
tion.
A sociologist of some repute, Lester
F. Ward, says that one who knows
anything of the laws of biology must
insist upon the equal development of
both sexes. "Any theory of develop-
ment." be says, "that recognises the
fact of the transmission of acquired
qualities must expect that where only
one parent has acquired such qualities
the offspring will only inherit one-half
of them. If the full value of the en-
ergy expended in conferring useful
qualities is to be reailxed in the off-
spring, they must be conferred equally
upon both parents." Mr. Ward fur-
ther says that, while the female mind
differs from the male in many impor-
tant and fortunate respects. Intellect
Is one and the same everywhere, and
that tbe proper nourishment of intel-
lect is truth. It seems rather late in
FRAGRANT
which can be directly charged to liq- j the day for those who claim to be edu-
cators to advance the theory that only
by starving the mind Is woman fit
for the high state of matrimony.

not responsible for the poor govern
ments of large American cities, for
Philadelphlans seem to be unable to
manage their municipal affairs honeat-
ly and efficiently. The census figures
for last year show a decrease of tht
percentage of persons of foreign birth
in Chicago to about 35 per cent, and
presto, Chicago begins to grow worse.
The native-born residents numbered
1.111.000. and the foreign-born resi-
dents 587,000. Chicago lg not so much
of a foreign city as it was. The num-
ber of persons of foreign birth in-
creased only 137,000 in the decade, and
that of persons of native birth 462.000.
B'Jt the native white males and fe-
males bom of native parents living In
Chicago last year numbered only 354.-
OwO, as against 727,000 natives of for-
eign parentage. If foreign immlg.anti
 nii their immediate descendants had
kept away from Chicago it would have
been an Inconsiderable place. Of the
967.000 men and women of foreign
birth who were residing In Illinois laat
year more than half. It will be seen,
were In Chicago. They found em-
ployment and are helping with their
manual or mental labor to build up
Chicago, says the Tribune of Chicago.
ST. MARY'S ACADEMY.
Notra Dama, Indians.
We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of St. Mary's
Academy, which appears in another
column of this paper. We do not need
to expatiate upon the scholastic advan-
tages of St. Mary"8, for the catalogue
of the school shows the scope of work
included in its curriculum, which is
of the same high standard as that of
Vassar and Bryn Mawr, and is carried
out faithfully in the class rooms. We
simply emphasize the spirit of earnest
devotion which makes every teacher
of St. Mary's loyally strive to develop
each young girl attendant there into
the truest, noblest, and most Intelligent
womanhood. Every advantage of
equipment In the class rooms, labora-
tories and study rooms, every care in
the matter of food and clothing, and
exceptional excellence of climatic con-
ditions—all these features are found at
St. Mary'e. in the perfection of develop-
ment only to be obtained by the con-
secration of devoted lives to educa-
tional Chrlatian work in a spot fa-
vored by the Lord.

Irrigation and Urouiht.
An Incident of the drought in one of
the corn states is related by an ob-
server from Western Kansas, where.
In one county, two adjoining farms
presented the contrast of Irrigation
and natural rainfall. A farm that had
been irrigated by a system of two wells
In previous years was found to be
thriving, although this summer one
of the wells had failed and the other
was giving but half the supply it gave
last year. The farm that depended on
the rainfall was naturally the suflerer
through the unusually dry conditions,
but the point was that the Irrigated
crop, although In need of water, would
probably survive because of the mois-
ture that the soil had received in pre-
vious years.
Irrigation is a matter not only for
this generation, but for the next, and
an interesting result of Its lasting ef-
fect Is noted In a recent bulletin is-
sued by the United States geographical
survey. It is shown by this authority
that while water, turned loose
sandy soil. Is rapidly absorbed In tb«
first processes of Irrigation and that
there Is consequently llttl" encourag
Ing headway, year by year the Irrigat-
ed section grows large', until land on
which there Iras beer, little or no Irri-
gation becomta productive.

person engaged In lynching, that the
art shall constitute murder In the first
degree, where the lynching Is accom-
plished and that the sta'e shall pay
11.000 to the heirs of *ny p-rson
