A City's Fa if ? ON THE CLEVELAN ] One of the farm buildings in -which rounded by fresh count] How Cleveland Hopes to Make ' Prisoners and Patients SelfSupporting. By W. Frank McClure. Cleveland's new farm colony of 1500 acres, on which are being grouped in separate villages the city workhouse prisoners, the infirmary wards and the patients suffering from tubercular disease, represents an innovation in municipal affairs that is bound to attract attention. The population of this city farm, already numbering into the hundreds, will ultimately reach 2000. The present ?rea will probably be increased to 5000 acres when all tha city's penal, sanitary and philanthropic institutions shall have been moved from the busy streets far into the country. The new plan not only represents a philanthropy, but also an economy, one department or institution being made to serve another, to the end that the whole is to become self-sup porting, if the hopes entertained for it are realized. The Bite of this new city farm is some ten miles from the central part of Cleveland, near the little rural town of Warrensviile. It is 600 fe3t above Lake Erie, the highest point in Cuyahoga County. The air is just <the thing for tubercular troubles, and FRANCIS SCOTT KEY'S OLD An association has been formed to pre; memory of the man who wrote ' the land produces just the crops which are most needed in the maintenance of city institutions, while, in addition to farming occupations for the prisoners, there are stone quarries of goodly dimensions. A mile of electric railway has been built by the city from the centre of the farm to an interurban road leading into town. The farm is also provided with its own car, which has the privilege of running over the various electric lines of the city. This car is equipped with cots for patients unable to ride in the seats, and has an apartment for freight in addition to the passenger quarters. Nearly a mile to the west of the field terminal of the colony railway I found, when I visited the place, seventy prisoners at work in the open air. They are living in cottages where iron bars are unknown. Wander Fever.

That the Francis Scott Key housa may be saved from destruction and rescued from its present degeneration into a billboard for the advertisement of patent wares, a memorial association has been incorporated in Washington, headed by some of the most prominent public men of the nation, for the purpose of purchasing it, filling it with the family relics of the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner," and preserving it as a museum and as a monument to his. memory. Among the corporators are Admiral George Dewey,Rear-Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, retired; Justice Louis E. MeComas, of the District Court of Appeals; District Commissioner H. B. F. MacFarland and others. The Key house stands in what was i Georgetown before it fused with Washington and became a part of the city. It is on the terrace below the hill upon which stands Georgetown University and at the foot of the great bridge which spans the Potomac leading into Virginia and to the National Cemetery at Arlington. It ! is on the route of travel usually taken by tourists, and can be seen in Its narrow street from the hill or from the bridge.

It has been fifty years since the old house passed out*bf the hands of the Key family, and in that time it has fallen into great decay. The part of the town which was once the favorite residence place of the old families has become a third-rate riverfront community. A Naval Prediction. The chief constructor of the French Navy 3s quoted as saying that he is convinced that the battleship and armored cruiser must before long be merged into a single type, the battle cruiser. This resultant concentration of great attack and defense with extreme speed will, he believes, be found illustrated, say, ia 1915, in a vessel of 25,000 tons, mounting a unit battery of high calibre guns and developing a speed of not less than twenty-two knots. The French constructor is also persuaded that any navy now bold enough to lay down battleships of 25,000 tons' displacement will by one stroke secure a tremendous advantage over all its rivals, because a 1? /it dquauiuii ui luui &uiu vcsbcJo will greatly outclass six battleships less effective in the energies that can be assembled.?Engineer. The War Governor of Kansas. Kansas' famous Avar Governor, Samuel Crawford, lives, most of the time in this city. Governor Crawford was one of the youngest but most energetic and farsighted of that class of Executives at the North who during the Civil War raised and equipped the troops called for by Mr. Lincoln to put down the rebellion. He does not look more than sixty, though his age is considerably beyond that point, and he is as active in the practice of law as any man half his years. His acquaintance with the public men of the day is broad and intimate, and he enjoys life at the Capitol with a zest betokening his satisfaction witn and unabated interest in the affairs of the nation. He was a fighting war Governor, and not one of them made a finer record than he.?Washington Herald. Secretary Taft admits himself to be a "golf fiend."

A Minneapolis woman is having the time of her life horrifying the innocent passers-by by strolling up and down the main thoroughfares of her native city smoking a large and en thusiastic briarwood pipe. She says she hates to smoke, and can't bear the smell of tobacco, and she's just smoking in public to show the men of Minneapolis that a woman has as much right to smoke as they have. How interesting! Have women the same right to smoke as men? Why, of course, they have. A woman has as much right to smoke or to drink, or to chew tobacco or to use naughty words, or to put her feet on the table when she talks, or to stand up in the back of the theatre with her hat in her hand, or to cet un and eive her seat In the street car to another woman as a man has to do any of these very commonplace things. Why don't women do these things, then? For the simple reason that they don't want to do them. Men have just as much right to eat chocolates, give teas and sit on the veranda and make tatting as women have. They don't do it, do they? Why should they? They don't want to?that's why. The American woman does not want to smoke, my dear Minneapolis madam. If she did, she'd do it; and she would not need you to lead her on to a big victory, either. What absurd nonsense this idea of a war for rights between the sexes is anyhow! If I were a nice, rosy peach, growing on a nice, wholesome peach tree, I'd do my best to be as rosy and as wholesome and peachy as I could. I wouldn't wor$y about the apple tree that grew next to me. I'd be a peach, and I wouldn't want to look or seem in any way the least bit like even the prettiest, rosiest apple in the whole orchard. If I were a man, I'd be a man and not an imitation of a woman, and as long as I'm a woman I'm going to do the things that women like to do, and if anybody calls me .*?. downtrodden slave for minding my .own affairs, In my own way?why, that's for them to worry about and not for me. When I get so that I want to smoke a pipe I'll cut my hair, put on a pair of trousers, and begin to look pleasant at every pretty girl I meet. Until then, thank you, Madam Minneapolis, you may smoke your pipe alone for all of me.?New York American. WORDS OF WISDOM. The root of all evil seems to thrive in any soil. Our creditors ought to organize a Wnrrv We are constantly adding wings to our castles in the air. The cost of experience is generally money well invested. A girl doesn't need a fountain pen to write a gushing letter. It isn't until a man lives to learn that he really learns to live. Besides gathering no moss, a rolling stone gravitates down hill. It is when duty calls that we are apt to send word that we are out. A woman may regard marriage as a tie, but it is never tongue-tied. The trouble with the average bread-winner is that he wants cake. A man doesn t necessarily nave to marry in haste to repent at leisure. Marriage is a lottery, and the only lucky gamblers are those who don't play. Brevity is the soul of wit, which ie perhaps why so few preachers are witty. You couldn't broaden out some men by running over them with a Bteam roller. When a girl refuses a fellow and he doesn't go to the bad it is a bitter blow to her pride. The pure-food people should get onto the fact that most of the love is adulterated with filthy lucre. There's a lot of difference between forgetting what we ought to know and knowing what we ought to forget. When a man likes to be different from other people, the other people are generally quite satisfied to have him so.

H., Springboro, Pa., asks: "How is it possible to pour from one and the same bottle various kinds of liquids?" Answer.?This bottle trick is performed like this: Have on your table a glass pitcher filled with clear water, to which add a great spoonful of strong sulphuric acid. Now present to the company a champagne bottle and a glass funnel and say to your audience: "This pitcher contains water and the bottle is empty." Pour the acid water in the bottle by means of the funnel and then produce four tumblers and one cbnmpagne glass. In one tumbler havo ooiu-j cochineal, in the second cochineal and saleratus, in the third a few drops of Goulard's extract of lead; the fourth tumbler must contain a small quantity of a solution of cochineal. In the champagne glass put a pinch of saleratus, and have a fifth tumbler clean. Now pour some water from the bottle into the first glass, and it will look like wine?you may taste a few drops without fear; pour water fro mthe bottle into the second glass and it will have the appearance of porter; the acid water in the third glass will produce a fluid like milk; pour some into the fourth glass and it will have the appearance of brandy. The fifth glass of water will remain in its clear state. Pour the rest of the acid water into the champagne glass and it will look like the famous sparkling wine. After the performance break the bottle and show" .that it is empty and contains no secret pompartments,? New Sork Tribune. * / ;v-;i ' " - . ' . 1 . V ; : . f: A: ' , .v-i' .

T.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfleld street, on the theme "Lying." The Rev. Dr. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Ex. 20:16, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. To cut the text down to four words and to make it come straight to the point and our own day, we will rewrite it: "Thou shalt not lie." In our time?whether because of the prevalence of the evil or not, I shall not attempt to say?the word lie seems to cause a shudder to run over the average human frame and to merit reprimand from many. Plain words, we are told, are too harsh, and besides, you know they aren't good form. The thief, be he weak en mi rrV* In or? tt?? m a ofron cf V? nf nnu r_ vuvugu IV giTV UO OWtVUQWU Uft V-WUi age so to do, we will generally name without the slightest hesitatioa, but we are slow to give any man the lie. This desire to be proper and polite is all very well in its place. Harsh words are not necessary over points upon which we may honestly and rea' sonably disagree. Either or both of the parties to a matching of ideas may be at fault. All men are fallible and prone to error and mistakes. None of us is infallible and most of us now and then remember things that are not so, and make statements that the facts will prove untrue. The sharp answer is here very manifestly out of place. But the common liar who wilfully, deliberately, maliciously spreads untruth should be branded as a liar?and that in hot haste. The varieties of falsehood are like the shades of black?endless. But perhaps in no other place than our courts of law is the lie found more frequently or in a more viciou*. and abandoned form. The unbridled perjury which takes place in our courts is really past belief. One would think that men would hesitate to swear in falsehoods under cover of God's name, but any judge will tell you that hundreds do. The infamous attacks upon men in our public life, the lies gigantic of our political campaigns, started with malign intent to destroy trust in a candidate who is beyond reproach, are unworthy of a self-respecting people and should be abandoned. The unfounded attacks upon the characters of good men, by i editors who should be above such things, are not fair either to the attacked or to the intelligence of the writers. The stories that arc spread through financial centres in order to weaken public confidence in standard securities or to destroy public faith in the standing and solvency of individuals, firms, or corporations, are pieces from the same cloth. They are clearly within the meaning of the text. No desire to give vent to spite, no satisfaction of a grudge, is sufficient excuse for any man to endanger the happiness of other men nr thp hpftith of his own soul. The jugglery of figures to prove balances, trade or profits that never did or will exiBt, is wrong; and the men who do it know it to be unmixed evil. The number of palpable falsehoods that are told in the business world Is beyond compute. The desire to excel leads many a man to become exceedingly v careless in his choice of words. The very advertise ments of our day are self-confessed falsehoods. No one believes them half the time, for experience has proven the need to take them with a grain of salt. Palming off something "just as good" which really isn't; selling adulterated food stuffs under the guise of pure supplies; unloading on the public veneers of all sorts as solid material throughout; the publishing of symptoms that may exist at intervals in the physical condition of any man, as the certain and unmistakable signs of the speedy destruction of our bodies by incurable disease; these and a hundred more untruths may be charged against the liar. The great American sin of falsification by exaggeration and overstatement is too rife in our land. It bodes no good for respect for truth and it can and does do harm. In our social, or should I say society, life we find the seeds of false hood also. Tbe desire to seem to De more than we are makes many of us resort to means that are, at bottom, false. Simulation of position, wealth, character or wisdom that is not ours, is precarious business. Sooner or later the lie will down us and the truth will find us out. Before we expect we may be caught. Who of us does not pretend to friendships which never did or will exist? Those little social catch words that slip so glibly from our tongues but I that have no heart behind them, had just as well be left out of our vocabularies. The desire to say something that we do not feel, in order not to hurt, nakes many of us liars. It is not necessary to perjure oneself to escape embarrassing predicaments. The sure way is to be silent. If you can't speak the truth say nothing? or better turn the point of conversation. Don't be affected, for affectation is a sham, and anyway the cultivation of self is best. Of all the mean and despicable wnrlH tVio that ifi LUllJgO 1U lUiO ?? iU I.MV -fw born of malignant motives is the worst. The lie, like the opportunity that is passed, never can be called back. Spawn of an evil mind, it goes on a way of sin. Before its scorching breath good reputations die, and in its wake sorrow, trouble and distrust are sure to lurk. Of all the mean things in this world the lie is the most contemptible. Here as in other cases the popular mind is slow to perceive the truth behind a sentence. Men are not quick to carry principles to conclusions nearly half so extensive as logic will demand. The point-blank falsehood with intent to ruin reputation or to bulster up another lie is usually what we think of first. Most of ? fn coo nnrt tn I U? flic 4 ail i J 4UiV/n WW [ go thus far. But is the lie from the tongue the only lie that does harm. Is the story of malignant falsehood which never stops the only sort of untruth that we should avoid and disdain? I think not. That knowing look, or that evasive answer, or that j suspicion of a smile, which we all can use and have seen, all three are j parties to too frequent lies that we dare not utter. The knowing look has struck fear to many a trusting I heart. The evasive answer has caught away the faith j>f not a few he | lieving souls.

Lies by consent, perhaps, falsehoods by implication no doubt they are; but before the judgment bar of God they shall be termed "unclean." &ut thus far our talk hat) been largely negative. Let us approach our topic for a moment from the positive point. The command not to speak evil of our neighbor when revised in the light of the life of Christ becomes a positive demand for strict adherence to the truth. The senso of the obligation to be true and to live true is at the base of all individual and social life and advance ment. No man can lie to himself and be a party to his own upliftment. To move ahead and into unison with God we muBt be true to our personalities. The desire to obey the pure dictates of a good conscience is the beginning of Individual advance. We cannot be untrue to self and true to men and to God. The agreement of each man by and with himself, to be consistent with the demands of his highest inner light is the basis of social credit. T^e-power of credit, that is to say, credibility or trustworthiness, cannot be too much remarked. Credit or the assurance we have of the honesty and reliability cf individuals or companies of men, whether firms or nations, is the foundation upon which political systems are built. We could not do business nor conduct a government for a day were it not for this great and fundamental principle of lyiman life: that credit?that is to say,'honor and truth?must be maintained. For how long think you would the fabric of our state remain" intact were xbiitual faith destroyed and credit given up? The elaborate business system to which we point with pride will be a wretched thing of the past so soon as personal and social honesty is removed. Immanuel Kant regarded falsehood as "the forfeiture of human personal worth, a destruction of personal integrity," and'another forceful thinker bas declared that "credit rests on the general social virtue of truthfulness." Truthfulness is necessary to the maintenance of personal integrity. Integrity is unity with our best idpnia To sav it short?-neraonal in tegrity Is the individual recognition of the necessity for personal unity? unity in personality if you will. The man of integrity is the man whose mind and heart and actions are at one. His conscience is the arbiter of his deeds. Disintegration comes with the denial of the rights of conscience?that is to say, of the voice of reasonable truth. The disintegrated man is a man without integrity, whose life is a jumble at the best or whose conscience and deeds when at their worst are disreputable and a discredit to self and society. t Be true to self! Be yourself! Maintain your personal integrity. Be a I unified soul growing in me.nutuio of the Spirit into the stature of J Christ. . ? , . f, * Thus only can personal truthfulness be maintained and social credit 1 be assured support. The best indi- c vidual is the one whose Integrity is unquestioned. The only sound governmental and political system is that which is rested upon that social ( credit which has its roots in personal 1 unity with the trufii of God. Moral Inability. What is the meaning of "dead in trespasses and sins?*'; We must take great care in our. use of the illustration of death in connection with sins! Physical death, of course, includes absolute insensibility, or else there would be nothing to which the evangelist could appeal and no consciousness of responsibility.' What it does ? inoWHfv Man 1b so LLICfclU IB LLX U1 Ul . far gone from original righteousness that he Is absolutely unable by lys own unaided effort, without divine grace, to come back to God. Thus the sinner, so far as ability is concerned, needs, not merely an awakening from slumber, but the bestowal of new life. Keep In view this distinction between moral Insensibility and. moral inability, and apply the term "dead in trespasses and sins" to the latter. ?Rev. W. H. G. Thomas, in London Christian. \ The Costliness of Low Standards. It costs less to live up to Christ's highest standards than to live by anyother standards yet discovered. For living is costly, from any standpoint; but Christ's followers find that the greatest cost is the least. The highest cost of doing right is always less than the lowest cost of doing wrong. A family that is making the struggle to do right by living within its Income finds it a costly matter to give up many a comfort and seeming necessity of life. ' But such a family soon learns that wrongly-incurred j debt costs more than self-denial, as those who have tried both plans can testify. Whatever we pay out in doing right is repaid to us tenfold. Whatever we pay out in doing wrong is a permanent loss.?Sunday School Times. jt Wondrous Love. A repulsive-looking old woman I who, after a life of unbelief, had been converted, became the subject " of persecution at the hands of her godless neighbors.

Finally an old persecutor, having exhausted all her resources in the at- / tempt, venomously exclaimed, "I think you're the ugliest old wcmau that I ever saw." To which the old woman, her face beaming with a light that made her beautiful, replied in tears, "Wasn't it wonderful that He could have loved an ugly old woman like me?"
