largely tho problems of business and

Wheu tho Aauerlcan people get this
Idea Into their heads and act upon It
thoro will bo moro and bottler "cltys
uien" lu this country than there are
at present
It Is probably true that most large
cltlea aro not adequately policed and
it will hardly bo denied that In most
places magistrates are unduly len
ient and that offenders are not made
to feel tho law'a heavy hand. With
all respect to thoao who dwell upon
tho reformatory aspect of the erlinl.
nal code, tho fact remulns that crime
will flourish wherever tho law Is
stripped of Kb terrors. Tho hypothe
sis that crlmea of vlolenco will be re
duced lu proportion to the danger In
volvcd In committing them will still
bear a good doal of examination at the
hands of those j-oifponslblo for main

That old volcano of our boyhood
recollections, Popocatepetl, Is for sale
at if 5,000,000. Whether this In a bar
gain prlco or not tho advertisement
doesn't Btato, but It Bounds fairly rea
souabln. The volcano is cortalnly one
of tho lending curiosities of the world,
but It might be woll boforo count
ing out the money to ascertain If there
is any danger that the neighbors
might proceed agulnst you for eucour
aging a unlanneo. Anyway, there may
bo millionaires with no necdl of cash
lying around loose who would consid
er a volcano a desirable thing, and
thero Is no douM that would give
tho purchaser a good deal of reputa
tion as a connoisseur In brlc-n-brae.
And wouldn't' It bo an Ideal place for
a smoker?
One of tho curious things about the
cigarette Is that tho moro It is at
tacked tho more it is used. It has no
friends, and yet It nourishes. Tho
endless chain for tho purpose of ob
taining l.QOO.OQO signatures to a po
rtion to Congress asking for antl-clg-n
re tie legislation is one of the latest
devices of -tho. enemies of tho "cotllu
nail," as it is called, and wo would
bo willing to wngcr that nearly ev
ery woman In the land, all other non
smokers and many slaves to tobacco
would 'sigh It, but wo have no contl
donco that the clgarotto will be abol
ished. Americans smoked or paid for
tt.'Jul ,883,880 cigarettes during the last
IHoal year, an increase of ,'l.t7,i!lM03
la a single year. Wo used .TJ7,810,008
pounds of tobaeeo lust year In nl!
forum and smoked G,787,irl,108 fig

The prlne)al complaint against the
schools and universities Iiuh been that
thoy tended to. augment fhe already
overcrowded "professions": that they
gave prominence In their curricula to
the studies that were calculated to
equip men for the HO-eallod polite pur
suits of life. Ah a result there came
from the college? doora every .Mine a
(mall army of doctor, lawyers, preach
ers and wrllora. There are hopeful
indications, however, of a tendency
on the part of the colleges and uni
versities to meet the demand for edu
cated men In the various lines of com
mercial and Industrial endeavor, which
modern conditions have created. Thero
Is gradual and more adequate recogni
tion of the fact that the so-called "pro
fessions" are already overcrowded and
that the great demand of our times In
lor trained commercial and scientific
men, for men who can take the places
of the self-educated, and scll'-madc men
who built up great Industrial and com
mercial enterprises. Dean James II.
Tufts, of the University of Chicago,
in liis address to a graduating class,
declared that In most classes to-day
fully three-fourths of the men grad
uating Intend to enter commercial pur
suits Iiisti'ad of the professions.
Twenty yearn ago one-third of the men
in Iho graduating classes of the col
lege been mi1 teachers, one-fourth or
one-llfth entered the ministry and not
more than one fourth went Into busi
ness, Hald Dean Tufta. There are not
enough patients for nil tho doctors and
not enough clients for all the lawyers.
It la time the universities were turn
ing out men to tako the places of tho
great builders, merchants and produc
ers of our time.
Another year has closed and the
millionaire philanthropists have ended
their annual effort to give away their
earnings and diminish their principal.
Mr. Curncglo is tho moat conspicuous
llgure In the group, not only because
he gives-far moro than any other, but
because ho Is the one who discovered
that It. would bo a disgrace to die rich,
and this set tho others to thinking.
The library Is still a hobby with him,
and during the year ho gave $ri.Rl),",r00
for library buildings, lu ninety-six cltlea
and towns In this country. He began
giving away libraries lu llilK). Since
that time he has given H2J1 in the Ful
led Stales, at a cost of $21,71ii2.r00. In
addition to these he gave !:ir0.(on for
a library In Toronto, .$lix).OW) for
libraries In Englund, and $lJf.(KK) for
' library In Harbados. He lias given
to colleges and other institutions In
this country and abroad ?l.:tr7.0(X; to
churches, $H-l,r00; to The Hague Court
of Arbitration, $1,750,000; for scienllilc
roscarch In Scotland. $5,000,000: for
phonetic reform, ?10,000; for the New
York botanical garden, $2,000; to the
town of Dunfermllno, Scotland. $2,500,
000; to the Now York Engineers' Union
Home, $1,000,000; for a pension fund
for dlaabled workmen In the Carnegie
Steel works, $4,000,000. This makes
a total of $25,82-1,500. lie has not
touched his principal. He has pot
given away this year's Income, which,
In round numbers Is $20.(Mu,(MHJ. lie
must give away $50 every minute to
dispose of his Income alone. Then
think of his huge principal! It would
bo rash to say thut J. D. Rockefeller,
Sr., Is haunted with fears of disgrace
If he should be found dying with
money lu his coffers. Ills Income,
probably, is larger than Mr. Carneglo's,
yet, while the latter has given away
$25.vS2'l,r.OO. Mr. Rockefeller has given
away but $:i,044,il)7, and more than
one half of this to the University of
Chicago Ills Other donations Include
$17!J,fi00 t.t religious bod his. $282,000
to colleges, nnd $00.0(10 to the .Nebraska
State University, which that Institu
tion Anally declined to accept on high
moral grounds, notwithstanding the
tempting array or sixes; and $80,000 to
charity. Henry Phlpps, another phll
anthrople millionaire, has given away
$! ,885,000. of which $1,500,000 Is for
a noble purposo, a froo hospital for
consumptives. Dr. D. K. Pearsons has
kept his "lever" pretty busily at work,
but he lias only given $20,000 to five
little colleges and $50,000 to charity.
The doctor, however, may mako a
better record In UMVl, for he has over
$800,000 of pledges to clear up in
June, and after that he proposes to
start In afresh, for he is determined
that when he goes there will be noue
of his money left for any one to scram
bio over. And what lias J. Plerpont
Morgan given? Just $10,000 to tho
American Archaeological Hchool In
Rome, whose dozen or so pupils are
watching tho forum excavations. These
Avo mon, who aro tho principal mil
llonalro philanthropists, combined
have given away about $31,000,00C
during tho year. As they are elderly
men, and llfo is uncertain and tlim
Is short, thoy must expedlate their
benefactions if they do not Intend tc
make their exit until thoy have glvoa
back to all they havo rpeelved. And
yet their $81,000,000 will do great good
in many ways.

Hev. J. N. Parker, Utica, N. Y., writes:
"In June, 1901, I lost my senso of
hearing entirely. My hearing had becu
somewhat impaired for several years, but
not so much affected but that I could
hold converse with my friends; but In
June, 1001, my senso of hearing left me
so that I could hear no sound whatever.
I was also troubled with severe rheumat
ic pains lu my limbs. I commenced tak
ing Peruna and now my hearing is ro
stored as good as it was prior to June,
1001. My rheumatic pains are all gone. I
cannot speak too 'iglily of Peruua, and
now when eighty-eight years old can say
it has invigorated my whole system."

Mr. W. B. Schuadcr, of Terre Hill,
Pa., writes:
"I got sick every winter, and had a
spell of cold in February, 1800, I could
not do anything for almost two mouths.
In December, 1801), I saw one Of your
books about your remedies. Then I wrote
to Dr. Ilartnmn for advice, and ho wrote
that I should commence the use of Pe

"I did not lose one day last winter that
I could not tend to my stock. 1 am slxty

too much for what you have done for
