.Many people are more shocked and
enraged by the exposure of crime than
they are by the crime Itself. As long
ns things uro kept quiet they are quiet
too. Hut when the explosion comes
they learn all of a midden how atro
cious the business Is. Wo believe that
thero aro many business men who saw
nothing wrong in tho Insurance busi

Time wus when the question of deal
ng with alien Illiteracy dumped upon
our shores was not pressing. Most of
tho immigrants then came of stock
sympathetic with our Ideas. They were
largely literate or they took kindly to
common school education. Of late all
this has changed. We are receiving
the bulk of Immigration from countries
In which illiteracy abounds and it Is
only candid to say that wo have In res
ident. Illiteracy a problem far greater
than Is generally supiosed. Tim cen

Vhat someone has culled "the lit

of laying down tho maxim that all our
fellow citizens are scoundrels. Never
theless, this overdose of exposure, while
:ostly to Innocent Individuals, Is doing
jo permanent harm. Tho worst thing
that can befall a nation Is for It to
develop an active and acute conscious
ness of virtue. Thut Is what wiped
out ancient Israel and that Is what
handicaps Russia In her struggle with
Japan today. So long as we recognl.e
the fact that our Institutions are not

Comes now Professor Jacob Gould
Sehurmanii and says that wo Ameri
cans have not reached the lofty stuta
of civilization attained by the ancient
Athenians. He alludes to our lack ol
development In art and ethics and phil
osophy, admitting that In material
things, railways, telegraph, telephones
and cash, we are fpremost. Hut ho
holds that these things do not consti
tute civilisation, since they do not de
velop our loftlcrtquullflrs of mind,
soul and body. Regretfully, we admit
that much of what lm says Is true.

It Is n source of gravo concern among
naval oflleers that foreign nations have
no dllllciilty In securing Information
about American warships under con
struction, and the attention of tlm sec
retary of the navy has been directed to
the fact that so-called contldentlal
plans, which have been guarded with
utmost caution, aro accessible practical
ly to anyone who may choose to con
sult them. Under the law copies o
nil contracts with full designs, plans'
and specifications must be placed on
die. This Is done In nil cases, no mat
ter what the contract may call for,
and regardless of tho wishes or policy
of the naval administration. This old
luw Is only an Incumbrance on the stat
ute books. It Is certainly rather ludi
crous for the navy department to Insist
on secrecy regarding tho building of
battleships nnd submarines when any
one can examlno the designs for the
troublo of asking.
All the great Inventors of the ages,
counted together, aro not to bo com
pared, for the good done for humanity,
with the mnn, unknown to fume, who
put n glass globe around a kerosenu
llame nnd thus produced a cheap,
steady light for night work. This is
the rather startling notion developed
by Dr. David T. Day, of the United
States geological Rurvey, In nn article
In tho American Illustrated Magazine.
And a mighty plausible notion he makes
of It. It Is refreshing to be Informed
by nn eminent authority that Watt,
Stephenson, Fulton and Edison really
pale Into Insignificance beside that
greater luminary who Invented the
lamp chimney, and thus made reading
general and education common. This
modern Aladdin, who has turned tlm
world from Ignorance to enlightenment,
was Samuel M. Kler, n Pittsburg drug
gist It was lu 1817 he presented to
the human eye the first steady, bright
light, except tho sun, that ever had
been known. All previous lights lire,
tho torch, tho candle, the oimn lamp,
the gas Hume without Its modern ad
junct, the Jot had been flickering nnd
unsteady, exhausting to Urn eye and
weak. Mark, now, the Instantaneous
am marvelous result! With the advent
of a bright and steady light, for the
first tlmo In human history people be
gan to read at night. Darkness iMjgan
to lift from tho mind of man. Up to
.1850, virtually up to lS7r, society was
divided into two great classes the pro
fessional scholars and the unread. The
scholars read by day; It wus part of
their work. The common man hud
other work by day, and, with no good
light at night, ho did not rend at nil.
The Franklins nnd Llncolns were ruro
Indeed. Within a half century the
bright light bus made reading a uni
versal habit We are assured and tho
evldonco offered seems plausible thnt
intellectual nnd Industrial progress in
all parts of tho world In tlm last fifty
years may be measured by tho keroseno
consumed. America lends, not because
we have better brains, but because wo
have more oil and have made the most
of It. The French make their streets
glare with electricity, but they do not
light the Inside of their homes; tho
city dwellers tleo at night to the bright
lMHilevurds, and tho peasant Is still
"the man with the hoe." Italy nnd
Spain, with less oil still, are still fur
ther behind. Light of day was the
first thing In the creation of tho world.

must get to her pluee of employment,
perform the dutios exacted of her

Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest liy
weak and aching bucks, pain in tho
lower limbs and lower part of tho
Htomuch. In consequence of frequent
wetting of tho foet, periods become
painful and irrepular, and frequently
there are faint and dizz- spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to a de
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia 12. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound.
Miss Abby F. Harrows, Nelson ville.

medicine did for her. She writes :
