It io proposed to reclaim tho ever
glades, tho great und practically un
explored region of Florida. Tho re
gion contains about 3,000,000 acres and
luis nover been thoroughly explored,
though excursions have been made
through It. It is believed that the land
would bo very valunblo if drained. A
company has been formed to under
take tho work. At present the State
gets no rovonuo whatever from the
region, while if tho everglades were
drained and a portion of tho region put
under cultivation the additional tnx

A closo and competent observer of
Cuban affairs onco snld that "Cuba
will teo annexed to tho United States
piecemeal." It begins to look as though
this prediction would be fulfilled. Land
Is being bought In largo ami In small
tracts. Tho frozen orango and pine
apple growers of Florida are turning
t- frostless CuVa us u better fiold for
their enterprises. Tourists Hock to the
Island In thousands and a goodly num
ber buy enough of the island to enable
them to remember that thero is such
a place. Neither tho tourist nor the
settler, sees anything in Insular sani
tary conditions to frighten thorn awny.
The Cuba o2 3010 will be the homo of
many an American settler, and It
promises to be somewhat of a winter
Mecca for American travelers. Cuba
Is both a pleasure resort and a health
resort and American people nro rap
idly coming to an appreciation of the
fact
wives and children are of great an
tlqulty. Citizens of Sparta who re
mained unmarried were publicly dis
honored. They wero not nllowod to
witness tho gymnastic exercises of tho
maidens; and in winter they wero
compelled to march nnkod about tho
markot placo singing a song which
vindicated tho Justlco of their punish
ment Tho Lex Julia gavo privileges
to Roman citizens In proportion to tho
number of their children nnd laid pen
alties on thoso who did not marry.
Thrco English laws, enacted In 101)5,
1785 nnd 1708, mado taxes bear more
heavily on single than on married
men. Men have not always been con
sistent in tho matter. It has fre
quently happened tlmt In the samo
country religion exalted celibacy as
tho highest virtue, while tho law taxed
It as a vice. Modern economists and
sociologists, following tho lead of
Malthus, have condemned schemes for
punishing celibacy or stimulating mar
riage. Population, they argue, will in
crease fast enough, if not too fast,
without legislatures forcing its growth.
Tho promptings of nature aro suffi
cient to cause all but a few to marry;
nnd if n man does not yield to thoso
promptings It is a sign that because
of physical or moral deficiencies or
for other good reasons, he ought not to
marry. Tho taxation of bachelors has
never done any good. Further, It hns
never been enforced effectively nnd
nover can be, Jt is nmong tho most
futile as well as among tho most re
current of legislative projects.
A recent lssuo of tho New York Sun
contains this brief communication:
"Sir Can any of your readers, or your
self, suggest what I can do with a
strong boy, 10 years of ago, who re
fuses to work or to attend school?
Perplexed." Twenty-five years, or even
fifteen years, ago, this sorely perplexed
person, with perfect propriety and
safety, might have been advised to
take the "strong boy" out Into tho
woodshed and inject into tho problem
the persuaslvo infiuenco of an energet
ically manipulated barrel stave. But
this is a gentler age. The barrel stavo
has been retired. "Moral sunslon" Is
supposed to have taken its place,
though thero bo not n few who still
question tho full efficiency of the sub
stitute. It also should bo remembered
that a "boy 19 years of age," who is
strong enough to rest nil the time,
might bo aroused to tho point of ob
jecting strenuously to being whaled.
The licker might, turn out to bo tho
licked at tho end of tho session. For
prudential as well as sentimental rea
sons, therefore, the woodshed and the
barrel stave may be eliminated from
the problem. This lad may hnvo con
scientious scruples against going to
school. Ho may read much, In which
casu doubtless ho has observed that a
great deal of "tainted money" has gone
to further the cause of education, and1
rather than enjoy the questionable ben
ttlts of such "Investments he prefers
to keep away from school altogether.
In matters of conscience one should bo
slow to glvo advice; but there ought;
to be some way to make this lad work.
And ftclenco apjiears to have dlscovJ
ered tho method. A German medlcul
Journal announces the discovery of a
"fatigue antitoxin." Lot the perplexed'
inquirer procure a quart or so of thhi
serum. Then while the lad is restlnd
Inject n doublo handful of It Into hill

would be to have him "shanghaied''

was a Sharp's patched -10-00. An ac
count of It was published at the time,
but no extensive experiments wero
made and tho occurrence was soon'
forgotton. it Is not easy to believe
that It Is possible to watch the lllght
of a rifle bullet, so tho account prob
ably passed with most peoplo for a ro-i

It has remained for two or three'
Adirondack riflemen to prove that It Is

On Oct 17 a friend was invited to
call at tho hotol and view the second
series of experiments. Ho saw tho.
third bullet fired, as well as a dozen
or so besidea. The guns used on Ihol
second day's trial wero a 88-40 and n
38-r5. Factory ammunition was used'
In both experiments. The 88-55 was,

A conscientious, hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
"1 am glad to bear testimony to the
pleasure and Increased measure of effi
ciency and health that have come to
nlo from adopting Grape-Nuts food as
one of my articles of diet.
"For several years I was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by Indigestion. My breakfast, usu
ally consisting of oatmeal, milk and
eggs, seemed to turn sour and failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to
return, however, next morning.
"Having heard of Grape-Nuts food. I
finally concluded to give It a fair trial.
I quit the use of oatmeal and eggs,
and made my breakfasts of Grape
Nuts, cream, toast and Postum. Tho
result was surprising in Improved
health and total absence of the dis
tress that had, for so long a time,
followed the morning meal. My diges
tion became onco more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased, and the old feel
ing of energy returned. Since that
time, four years ago, I lmve always
had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast
table.
"I was delighted to find also, that
whereas before I began to use Grape
Nuts food I was quite nervous and be
came easily wearied in the work of
preparing sermons and in study, a
marked improvement In this respect re
sulted from the change In my diet I
am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me to
a sturdy condition of mental and phy
sical strength.
"I have known of several persons
who wero formerly troubled as I was,
and who have been helped as I have
been, by the use of Grape-Nuts food,
on my recommendation, among whom
may bo mentioned the Rev. . now
a missionary to China." Name given

HIE CHAMBERMAID DOOMED, f
The dreamer of fantastic dreams, II,
G. Wells, has been Imagining for us, in
the Fortnightly Review, the bedroom
of the future. This wonderful place is
to be entirely sanitary, and no lnlor
will be required to keep II clean.
"There Is no fireplace," says Mr.
Wells, "and I am perplexed until I
find a thermometer beside six switches
on tho wall. One switch Avarms the
flcor, which is not carpeted, but cov
ered by a substance like soft oilcloth;
one warms the mattress, and the oth
ers warm the wall in various degrees.
"There Is n recess dresslng-rooin,
equipped with a bath and-all that Is
necessary to one's toilet, and the
water, one remarks, Is warmed, If one
desires It warm, by passing through
an electrically heated spiral of tul
ing. A cake of soap drops out of a store
machine on tho turning of a handle,
and when you have done with It "ou
drop that and your soiled towels and
so forth, which also are given you by
machines, Into a little box, through
the iKittom of which they drop at
once, and down a smooth shaft.
"The room has no corners to gather
dirt; wall meets lloor with a gentle
curve, and tho apartment could be
swept out effectually by a few strokes
of a mechanical sweeper.
"You are politely requested to turn
n handle at the Toot of your bed be
fore leaving the room, and forthwith
the frame turns up into a vertical po
sition, and tho bedclothes hang airing.
You stand at the doorway, and realize
that there remains not a minute's
work for any ono to do."
Truly it all looks easy; nnd presum
ably when night conies, one presses
another button, and some kind of a
machine gets into action and makes
the bed.
