Another feature of the Russian-Japanese

Russia surely Is not as bad as It was.
For the llrst time In WH) years a person
can now telegraph Information out of

good thing this war has done.
The New York courts have decided
that a man who smoked three hundred
cigarettes a day cannot bo held guilt
less of murder on the plea of Insanity.
The courts may be wrong, but a man
who smokes three hundred cigarettes a
dny ought to go to the electric chair on
general principles.
What a strange, Incomprehensible
thing is the behavior of human beings.,
and how little even the wisest know of
itl One reads of Thermopylae and
Unlaklava and tho calm, hopeless forti
tude of men on sinking ships until his
blood burns and tingles with the tales.
Tho next morning tho story of a thea
ter lire stares him In the face, and ho
lenrns bow, In the twinkling of an eye,
gentle-mannered, kindly men and "wom
en were changed to maddened cattle,
shrieking with fear, trampling each
other Into the earth, absolutely sense
less, absolutely reckless. Is there any
thing stranger, anything more terrify
ing than this contrast? It is tho samo
human nature which shows in tho ono
case and In tho other. Evon tho man
who wears tho Victoria Cross on his
breast cannot bo sure that In to-morrow's
crisis bo may not find himself
lighting erazlly with his follows to es
cupo some terror which ho has not
even stopped to look In tho face. Thero
Ilea tho horror tlio thought that each
ono of us carries this demon in bis
breast, to bo aroused he knows not
whero or when. Has psychology any
light to throw on the matter? Is there
any way in which a man may kill his
own wild beast? The only hope lies lu
self-study and self-restraint. It takes
a body of people to make a panic, al
though ono person may start It; and
here, as In most affairs of life, tho
greater force rules. Tho thing to do,
then, Js to mako reason that greater
force, Instead of torror. Every indi
vidual member of a crowd which may
bocomo a panic-stricken mob is under
obligation to seo that his contribution,
his strength, counts for reason and not
for torror; and tho man who falls in
such a crisis must forever after count
himself n coward and a murderer. The
whole country wns horrllled by tho
Chicago theater fire. Yot no man
knows when tho sceno may bo repeat
ed. Tho dangor of panic Is always
present, and tho moral of It Is this;
Nover for an Instant forget Hint you
aro one of tho mob. Never forget thai
your notion may turn tho scalo. Ro
solvo that como what may, and al
though It cost your very life, you will
raise no cry and uso no violence; ami

When the school divorces Itself frotq
tho mother, or when tho mother coasef
to work with the school, a dark daj
dawns for tho child. Two complalnU
have been heard of late years lu regard
to education. .Mothers havo been pro
testing that lessons should not b
brought homo to be learned. "Whn
aro schools for?" they havo Irnpatlentlj
asked. Teachers havo declared, foi
their part, that they cannot take tin
place of tho mothers and teach man
ners and morals, as well as reading
and arithmetic. Roth complaints art
Ill-founded. Tho mother and the teach
or aro partners, not competitors, In tin
great enterprise of making boys and
girls Into men and women. Whatevei
service can bo rendered by one to tin
other should bo done not grudgingly,
but eagerly for the good of the Avhoh
business Is the advantage of each 01
the partners. "You teach too Timet
arithmetic," said a Japanese visitor t
in American school. "In Japan wt
teach our children manners, then w
teach them morals; after that we tenet
them arithmetic, for arithmetic with
out manners ami morals makes met
and women sordid." Whether wo hav
too much arithmetic may bo a mnttci
i or discussion, nui mere can no n
doubt that our children will profit bj
more and better manners and morals
To that end, the schools and the home)
need more to be "mothered." Says at
Eastern proverb, speaking with tin
Oriental familiarity which Is not Irrev
erencc, "When Ood found Ho could
not bo everywhere, Ho mnde mothers.'
After years of contradictory and con,
Hiding decisions by Stjito and United
States courts, the Supreme Court o
the United States has dually decide
the question of the common carrier)
liability for damages on account of In
Jury or death In cases where tho pas
senger Is riding on free transportu
Hon. The court, lu the case of tlx
heirs of Jay II. Adams, formerly ai
attorney at Spokane, Wash., who wai
killed by the Northern I'aclllc whlh
ho was riding on a pass, holds tha)
tho contract which the deceased slguoc"
releasing Hie company from llablllt
Is a valid one. Justice Brewer declarei
that there Is nothing In such a con
tract which Is contrary to public pol
Icy, and therefore tho common carrioi
Is free to contract against liability fo)
future negligence. It Is strange thai
although this has been a matter of al
most constant litigation between rail
roads and their patrons, It has novel
reached the Supremo Court. The fuel
that the tranportatlon may be frei
does not of itself affect tho liability 01
tho carrier. Railroads, however, novel
fail to require tho passenger's signa
turo to a contract written upon tin,
pass releasing tho company from al
liability. In declaring the legality o)
such a contract tho Supremo Court
has followed tho English decisions
which have been uniform upon tlq
subject. Elliott, In his book on rail
ways, and the court in the case of tin
Indiana railroad vs. Mundy, declare
that in this country the majority o
cases and the weight of authority ur
against tho legality of tho contract
Tho American and English Encyclo
podia of Law comments at length upor,
the great contrarlqty of Judicial opln
Ion passed upon the subject, and nls
declares that "Tho argument of ilu
courts opposed to tho validity of tin
contract would seem to bo well nig)
unanswerable." The Supremo Court')
decision, therefore, may be taken ai
In a measure revolutionary as belnj
against the weight of authority. 1
Is also Interesting to know that souq
States Iowa, for example havt
enacted statutes which declare sucl
contracts to be illegal and not blndliq
upon the ground that the law cannoi
permit a railroad to lay down the pub
lie character which the law has give
It as a passenger carrier and boconn
n more private carrier at will. Tin
caso of tho Now York Central vs
l.ockwood hns been heretofore consld
ered ono of the leading cases upon tin
subject, and In this the court hold thai
behind any contract establishing th(
relation of carrier and passengei
stands a public policy which even th
courts cannot allow the parties t
thwart. This public policy referred t
hi that requiring railroads to, emploj
all possible skill and diligence' In pro
vidlug suitable and safo means for tin
transportation of passengers. Tho Su
promo Court, however, Insists that,
tho stipulation should bo viewed li
the light of a contract between a pas
senger and a private carrier, and thero
foro not to bo taken as an exoniptlo
of tho rigid responsibility which th(
law Imposes upon common carriers,
tho service being ono which tho car
rlor is not bound to perform. It h
held further to bo unfair to compel
carrier to present n gift and then pnj
for consequences, especially when tin
gift has been coupled with a stlpula
Hon to tho contrary.

Hoys who make a ftiHs because their

Eaiiilinnii children, living on the
kIkiitm of Norton .Sound. In that cob
region ui inisKa an me ooys aro
obliged to take a sweat bath onco
week, and this bath Is no Joke. A tiro
of driftwood Is built In tho center of
tho floor of tho kashlm tho ono room
house, where tho men and boys of tho
village pass most of their time and
when tho smoke has passed off and the
wood Is reduced to red, glowing coals,
a cover Is put over tho smokeholo In
the roof, and tho place becomes In
tensely hot. The hoys then must take
off their clothes and sit about the fur
naccllke apartment until their skin bo
comes as red as tho shell of a boiled
lobster and seems on the point of blls
terlng.
Owing to the Intense heat, the bath
ers are obliged to wear respirators to
protect their lungs. These respirators
aro pads of shavings bound together,
concave on tho Inside and convex on
the outside, and large enough to cover
the mouth, nose and part of tlio cheeks
of the wearer. Across the Inside runs
ii little wooden bar, which Is' held by
the teeth to keep the respirator In
place. Tho boys sit thero until they
are dripping with perspiration. Then
they rush outside Into the Intense cold
and roll In the snow.
E. W. Nelson, who spent between
four and live years in investigating
for tho government tho Esquimaux liv
ing about nehrlng Strait, says: "On
several occasions I saw them go from
the sweat bath to holes In the lco on
a neighboring stream, and, squatting
thero, pour lco water over their backs
and .shoulders with a wooden dipper,
apparently experiencing the greatest
pleasure from the operation." Al
though the Esquimau boys seem to
withstand such a bath as this all right
and seem even to enjoy It, It would, In
all probability, kill any white boy who
tried It. Detroit Nows-Tribune.

HAS A SAY.
The School Principal Talks About Tood.
The Principal of a High School in u
flourishing California city says:
For '2 years I worked in the school
with only short summer vacations. L
formed tho habit of eating rapidly,
masticated poorly, which coupled with
my sedentary work led to indigestion,
liver trouble, lame back and rheuma
tism. "Upon consulting physicians somo
doped me with drugs, while others pro
scribed dieting and sometimes I got
temporary relief, other times not. For
VJL years I struggled along with this
handicap to my work, seldom laid up,
but often a burden to myself with
lameness and rheumatic pains.
"Two years ago I met an old friend,
a physician who noticed at onco my
out-of-health condition and who pre
scribed for me an exclusive diet of
Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit.
"I followed his instructions and in
two months I felt like a new man
with no more headaches, rheumatism
or liver trouble and from that time to
this Crape-Nuts has been my main
food for morning and evening meals,
am stronger and healthier than 1 have
boon for years without a trace of tho
old troubles.
"Judging from my present vigorous
physical and mental state, I tell my
people Methuselah may yet have to
.take second place among tho old men,
for I feel like I will live a great many
more years.
' "To all this remarkable change In
health I am Indebted to my wise friend
and Grape-Nuts and I hope the I'ostum
'Co. will continue to manufacture this
life and health giving food for several
centuries yet, until I move to a world
whero Indigestion is mil jnown." Name
