SKARCU >X)R GOLD.
In many of the groat city dallies
there an frequently found expres
sions somewhat belittling the gold
hunter, the prospector, the man
wi n leaves civilization behind him
and boldly strikes Into the unknown
regions of the earth, regions of
deep cunjons, hljh mountains, rag
ing torrents and mighty glaciers. It
is not netcssary that a hero shall
be made of him, though the ancient
troubadour and the modem poet
Jo'u in tribute to the man who brave
the dangers of the unknown, who
?J' Ives In nature's rock-ribbed crust.
These men are neither heroes
nor philanthropists, they are simply
harCv scions of a hardy race seeking
;o better their condition, seeking
the greate-st of all material things,
it. at which the world has striven for
since the dawn of history; they are
healthy, hardy, keen and sure foot
ed, aud not near so many of them
tuffi-r death from their privations
and exposure as are killed by vic
ious mules or gored by ugly bulls In
tlt? home of the waving malse.
Every dollar they bring forth
frora the wild U an added dollar to
i he measure of value* and haj been
taken from no ona else, the middle
man la eliminated, directly from the
hand of t*u* miner to the mint, goes
the golden product, tUenca Into the
chanuoia of commerce, giving great

Tho nomadic spirit which has glv

ftloriou* place to live In.
We hear of reservations to main
tain nature In Its .primitive state
that the d -niseos of the city may, at
their pleasure, roam at will through
the i tumbles and soulfully commune
with nature.

This Industrial Age Is
Filling Our Asylums
With Insane
I
By Dr. M. C. SCHLAPP, Professor of Neuropathology at Cornell
University
I BELIEVE in heredity to a limited extent,' but it is sheer non
sense to say that our insane asylums arc being filled because
an unkind fate made one section of the population IN
STINCTIVELY CRAZY LONG AGO and has kept fu
ture generations of that benighted section crazv erer since. This is
taking at once from a just and nil wise providence the attributes of
both wisdom and justice.
Primarily these destructive forces that we at work FILLING
OUR ASYLUMS AND JAILS, killing ?ne-thii4 of U?taH?bon
in the 6rst vear of their lives, restrirting inorj and 80f| fTH J year
the number of babies born, is due direct! v to .arj improper ft3jOBta*at
of ourselves to our environment, and I believe I can demoostnts tilt
these physical disturbances, from which none of us arc entirely free,
are due chiefly to INDUSTRIALISM. . : - - :
THIS IS THE INDUSTRIAL AQE. WE ARE PROUD OP IT. WE
are Making more cross thinos than were ever made *e
FORE. AND INDIVIDUALLY WE ARE WORKII^Q FASTER. WE ARE
GETTING SO INDUSTRIOUS THAT WE ARE U.NASLE TO WASTE A
SECOND IN THOUGHT THAT IS NOT MATERIALLY PRODUCTIVE.
THE EXCESSIVE STRESS ON THE MIND IS FILUINQ OUR INSANB
ASYLUMS.
Cruel Styles of Women Are
Killing Off Many of Our
Beautiful Birds
By Mrs. MAY RILEY SMITH. Director of th? Audubon
SocUty
IT has come to the point where women must forswesr Uw u*e of
#11 feathers save thoee of tho ottrich IF THBT WOULD I
SAVE THE BIRDS. What they are wtarin^ mat hare
been obtained without harm, but by wearing aa? wings they
PERPETUATE THE FASHION. Ther arto't BW?W7,
they? If ribbons and flowers alone were atyle WE WOULDN'T
MISS THEM, would we? ? .
STYLE, THAT'S WHAT DOIS IT. IT IS FICTITIOUS, FLUCTUAT- '
ING AND ARTIFICIAL, BUT IT LURKS WOMKN ON TO DO THINGS ,
THEY WOULD NOT SANCTION OTHERWISE.
Did we not always speak with contempt of "the savage with hia :
feathers?" Then what is this fashion but an expression oi the aor
yiving savage instinct in woman i
Men are justified in declaring women unprepared for taking the
reins of power in their hands since they are wanting in justice, in
tenderness, which ha3 been their traditional attribute.
CRUELTY IN WOMEN IS AN OFFENSE THE WORLD IS SLOW
TO PARDON.
