Tuberculosis in. Childhood.
The question of the relationship be-
tween human tuberculosis and the
forui encountered in cattle has not yet
teen decided, in spite of the zeal with
which men of science all over the
world are endeavoring to ttiUe the
matter. It appears, however, ihat Dr.
Ko<h. the eminent discoverer of the
tubercle-bacillus which is the cause of
(he disease, spoke somewhat prema-
turely when, a year or two ago, he an-
nounced that there Is no danger to the
human race to be apprehended .from
Infection ihrough the medium of the
meat or milk obtained from tubercu-
lous cattle. At least, this is the view
of must American and English physi-
cians. and a British commission ap-
pointed to study the facts has recent-
ly published a report to the samo af-
fect. On the other hand, says Youth's
Corapjnion, the observation has been
made that tuberculosis is also preva-
lent in countries In which the cattle
are healthy, or in which they are not
kept to supply milk or meat for food,
as in Iceland, Alaska and Japan.
Leaving these theoretical discussions
out of the question, the facts remain
that the two chief ways in which tu-
berculosis is acquired are by lunallng
or by swallowing the germs, and that
It Is young children who are particu-
larly susceptible to infection. Indeed,
a noted German observer goes so far aa
to assert that every adult who maul
feats xlhos of the disease must have
contracted it In infancy, the germs
having remained dormant for years,
until some accidental cause started
them into activity. Heredity Is not
supposed to play so great a part in the
transmlsHlon of tuberculosis as was
formerly believed. The theory now is
that the children of consumptives are
somewhat more likely than others to
develop the disease, simply because
they are so much exposed to Infection
from the ^emis continually thrown oft
by their si<k parent. It Is therefore
evident that the greatest possible pre-
cautions must be taken to safeguard
Inlants and children from any possible
contact with tubercle-bacilli, either in
their food or in their surroundings
The fule or milk or meat from diseased
auimaU should be made Impossible,
and It Is of the utmost Importance to
avoid jutMilal feeding for babies
whenever possible. Plenty of sunshine
and frunh -ilr, scrupulous cleanliness In
all particulars, a firm stand against
the MssIuk of children by any person
except those of the immediate family,
and vigilant watch over the milk and
meat supplies are essential precautions
In keeping the coming generation free
from "the great white plague."

Broader View of Art.
Hardly a generation ago a young pet
ton's desire to study art was regarded
with misgiving and uneasiness by par
mi1*. Naturally and rightly, most
parents are practical. They desire first
of all that their children shall select
Htch au occupation for life as will glvj
then an assured Income and a compe
tence: and to make a profession of art
meant at thut time to earn one's living
by palntiug pictures, with perhaps some
help from teaching. A different view
l>reva!ls to-day. Throughout the east,
at any rate, and in some of the western
cities, there are art schools which are
turning out as many graduates each
year as the smaller colleges; and nearly
nil the graduates find profitable posl
Hons. The reason for the change is th •
broader way In which ai l Ih regarded at
Ihe present time; the closer relation-
Mill) between art and Industry. Many a
young man or young woman who could
never have made a living at painting or
sculpture Is earning a good salary as a
furniture or wall-paper or pottery de-
Migher, or as a teacher of art In the pub
He s' hools. Although the I'nlted States
has made u great advance In this direc
tlon. It still has far to go. A visitor to
the South Kensington museum in Lou
don saw a man patiently copying sum*
carving. He asked the draftsman win '
Ills object was. The man told him thai
he was employed by a furnlture-manu
facturing firm in Michigan, and had been
Hint abroad to make these studies for
reproduction. Sir Purdon Clarke, the
new dire, tor of the Metropolitan muse-
um of New Wk, uses this Incident t.v
illustrate the plans he wishes to curry
cut In this country. Me believes that
U ought not to In* necessary for Amrrl-
t un artisans to go abroad In order to
study the nrtlntlc side of their work, but
that a great museum should be both a
n school, where the student can learn
what he desires to know, and at the
Mime time "a pleasant place for peo-
ple to parade In on n rainy day."
A western Kansas newspaper an-
nounces that the following articles hav
been borrowed from the editor: "Ona

lii>; bridle it ml a monkey wrench. A

and clear your tunncleucf," lvssily
0 BE happy where all is fair, just and good i> an easy thing;
lo be happy where injustice and wrong prevail i< impossi-
ble. The average working girl's body and soul are not
merely tinder constraint, but the condiiions in which she
works are usually so unjust an<l so inimical to healthy
growth and development of mind and body and spirit, that
instead of joyous acceptance of the conditions or indiffer-
ence to them, her whole being, if she is a girl of depth of
feeling, cries out against their injustice.
What the working girl needs is that attitude from peo-
ple of wealth which will lead tlie latter to be utterly unwilling to re-
ceive benefits in the shape of dividends produced under conditions
detrimental to the health, happiness and spiritual welfare of their
factory workshop sisters.
All possible joy generally is excluded from ihe workshop by the
rigid rules against talk among ihe workers. The work becomes hate-
ful and is ill done in consequence. Friendship can hardly develop.
()n the shoulders of the employing and propertied classes must lie
nine-tenths oi the responsibility for the weakened physiques atid the
impoverished constitutions which lead to the appalling frequency of
death from needless and preventable causes. Shorter hours, fairer
wages and the kindlier and more human consideration are the work-
ing girls' ncc(
()ne-tliird of all working women between the ages of 20 anil 45
die annually of tuberculosis, and this disease is due to the conditions
maintained in tenements and workshops bv people of the employing
and propertied classes.
A few dollars or even cents less in dividends distributed over the
entire stock issues of a few companies would often mean little to the
highest welfare of the holders of the stock, but often it would mean
a difference between life and death, both physically and morally, to
hundreds and thousands of working girls.
The aim of drawing
in high schools should
not differ, except in de-
gree. from the aim of
drawing in all schools
which form a part of
the general scheme of
public instruction. The
outline of exercises
may differ for the dif-
ferent grades, the plan
of instruction may vary in different localities, yet the aim in view, the
etui to be obtained,, should be the same for all instruction from the
elementary classes through the college, and this aim should be pri-
marily to cultivate a love and appreciation for the beautiful in form
ant color.
Drawing, with music and literature, forms a triad which makes
as a part of our scheme for public instruction, for culture and refine-
ment as opposed to coarseness and vulgarity, greed and selfishness.
Instruction in drawing should be linked to a higher purpose than
merelv mental development. Correlate it ever <0 well with the other
branches in the course of study, make of it as far as it is possible to
do so a coordinate part of as highly scientific a scheme of instruction
as \ou will, but 1 beg that it be not forgotten that this study with
music and literature arc the only links which connect public school
education with that part of our existence which transcends mortality.
Hehinl our instruction in mathematics, English, bookkeeping,
typewriting, etc., should be a force that makes for the creation oi the
tlesire to live worthily, inspired by ideals that exalt and dignify. We
should believe that besides our instruction in these subjects
which make for mental development and power to earn a livelihood
to make money, to take part in the everyday affairs of our time, in-
struction should be given to develop a faith in the glory of the world
and existence; that honesty, decency,generosity and charity,coupled
with a belief in immortality and love, are essential to right living.
Art in its broadest sense should be recognized in our courses of,
study,and should include drawing, music and literature; and the aim
of instruction in these branches should be primarily to make for
those essentials to right living.
There are machines
and machines. There
have been good and
had machines. Some of
them have stood for the
real interests of the
whole party whose name
they bore; others have
stood for the interests
of a little clique of men that would be willing to sell their party, body
and soul, for what they could get for themselves out of it.
(>rganization, not domination, should be the watchword of every
useful machine; any other kind will find it impossible to last. < >r-
gaiiization depends on unity. If any machine neglects to consult a
considerable part of the party that it is supposed to represent, and ca-
ters exclusively to those of that party who arc "on the inside," that is
the kind of machine that has outlived its usefulness, and ought to be
and will be destroyed.
If. however, a machine endeavors to represent in its operation,
as fairly a; possible, all the elements of the party, it will remain a co-
hesive and a useful machine. It will be able to serve the interests
of the people by effective organized political effort in behalf of party
principles.
This kin 1 of machine was organized and conducted by the great-
est men in the early history of our republic, and notably by Thomas
Jefferson, who acted on the view that organized unified expression and
defense of political principles is necessary to the success of a great
political cause.
The latter-day boss,however,of t he stamp that has brought odium on
ihe 11. me, "machine." organize* for himself, his friends and favorites,
with 'he object of strictly personal gain and power, and woe betide
that individual who talks "party principles" In his presence
I believe that a machine of lliis kind is weak in proportion as il roars
and shrieks in its effort to operate, and that
its disintegration is not far ^ff. For when
it ceases to represent its party, it ceases to

CAUGHT IN THE CURRENT.
The Sahara has over one-half the
area of the I'nited States. Its popula-
tion is very small for its area. The
Libyan and Nubian deserts are only a
continuation of it to the red sea.
Quisck. the oldest Indian in the north-
west. died recently at his home on Sa'-
sop river. Chehalis county, Washington.
He was at least 120 years old. as he was
old and gray-haired when the oldest set-
tlers came to Gray's Harbor, 50 years
ago.
A remarkable towage feat was accom-
plished by the Australian steamer Airlie
during her voyage from Singapore. She
towed a 2,500-ton sailing vessel toGoortc
island, a distance of 2.500 miles, in the
quick time of 16 days. The daily tow-
ing ranged from 158 to 200 miles.
It is computed that farm properties
In the 11 states that once seceded Jrom
the tinion have risen in value more than
a billion dollars in two years. The av-
erage yield of these lands slnte this
century began is 1200,000,000 a year
greater than it was in the preceding six
years.
Several young men of Clyde, Pa. near
Philadelphia, have been engaged in
catching and shipping frogs to the city
market. The business pays those en-
gaged in It from five to nine dollars a
day. From 60 to 180 pounds of frogs'
legs cin be secured daily, which can be
readily sold for 15 cents a pound.
Some one has been speculating about
the Importance of salt to civilization.
The oldest trade routes are said to have
beeu opened for salt traffic. Salt de-
termined to a considerable extent the
distribution of man. He was forced to
mile where be could obtain it. This
brought him to the seashore and started
maritime commerce. Lastly, preserva-
tion of food by salt made long voyages
possible and opened up the world to civ-
