Much of our charity is really pure sin, and that part of charity which is offered as restitution, a substitute for justice, is the most degrading of sins, in that it corrupts both giver and receiver. Can you imagine a condition with all kinds of cripples "making good," all sorts of outcasts making a crood showine and gaining a self-respect and strength of character? This would simply mean the giving of opportunity to the unfortunates instead of crowd ing them away from it. We know that, with very few exceptions, com paratively, all cripples and all those who have tasted criminal life are willing to work, but we deny them opportunity and then, through one process or another, support them ourselves by our own labors. The plan is debasing and fooliah. Un doubtedly Ford, with all his millions, would fail in making a man . out of every convict in Sing Sing. There are men who honestly believe that the world owes them a living. Such are the product of generations of breed ing to such conviction. Injustice has been working a long time to produce such, and we have them.

Dur ing the entire month of February the moon will not be full at any time. Prof. G. D. Sweezey of the university department of astronomy says that the phenomenon is comparatively rare. For nearly 1 three-quarters of a cen tury every month has had at least one full moon. The fact that one month can escape the full moon is due to the fact that the full moons follow one another at intervals of approximately twenty-nine and a half days. The intervals are irregular because the calendar was based on the solar in stead of the lunar system. February breaks the sixty-eight-year-long rec ord by a very narrow margin. The last full moon came at 10:41 p. m. on January 20 and the next one will come on March 1 at 12:33 p. m. The last time that a month passed Avithout a full moon in America was in 1847. The fact that February contains so few days is the only thing that enables it to get by. There were two full moons last month and there will be two dur ing March. After' that each month will have one full moon for some years. Hides Take. My specialty is removing the hides from dead animals, horses and cattle, allowing a small fee for the hides re moved.
