It In probable that the kindergarten bestows Its greatest benefits on the children of the very rich and the very poor. Poor children are rapturously , pathetically happy In Its pleasant room , playing the varied and delightful panics and cared for by kind teachers. Ulch children , their playrooms crowded .irlth discarded toys , find relief in the etcady occupation of the kindergarten table from the allllctlon that even thus early attacks their class , cnuul. * English as she Is made spontaneously varies according to country.

Thus poetry finds Its way Into common speech and In time make * literature' which becomes classic. No fair-minded landlord can any longer advance the old argument that wretched tenements arc inevitable because - cause the poor prefer filth to clcanll- ness , and that good tenements will not pay. The City and Suburban Homes Company of New York has disposed of that Insulllclcnt excuse of the parsi monious landlord. This corporation up preached the problem with the idea of combining business and philanthropy It has built excellent tenements lu the poorest parts of the city , and rents them nt prices as low as those of tin. miserable hovels about them. Its hold Ings represent un Investment of two million dollars , on which It has Just do clarcd a dlvldent of 4 per cent. The landlord who pretends that good tone nienta will not pay Is usually a unit who wants 15 per cent. Now comes the Medical Press and Clr cular with an attempt to trace the psy chology of swearing. It ventures the opinion that most profane terms arc the fossil remains of religious terms or elucidatory nra.vers'and that "tho IIH ! tory of profanity Is Intimately bount up with the history of religion. " As this does not seem quite to till the bill It suggests the theory "that profnni. objurgalioiinare instinctive ur Imlititlvt. relics of the habit of our wild ancestors of simulating the cries of ferocious an imals and of uttering sounds calculated by their ImrshnosH or their volume to Inspire terror. " After a while , accord- lug to this theory , words sacred be cause of their religious associations were used because such use savored of recklessness. Then men sought to In- eplrc fear by Imitating ; anathemas of the church for their private uses. "The angry primitive man , " concludes this medical authority , "tried to shock bis enemy by calling on thunder and cods , and the angry modern man eon- Blgns him In tones of awful wrath to eternal punishment. " All of which Is very Interesting but altogether wide of the murk. Thu profane swearing of the American branch of the Anglo- Saxon race IH seldom Intended or cal culated to Inspire terror or any other emotion than disgust. It Is most shockIng - Ing In cominunltlcti far removed from religious associations. > 'lne-tcnlhs of the profanity fhat dollies the conversa tion of Americans Is a harh and vulgar iiablt. For the must part , It Is un meaning expletive a means adopted by ike Ignorant to add n false virility tea a barren and Inadequate vocabulary. One of the most striking features of modern American life Is the accumula tion of Immense fortunes In the linndu ef In1 viduali. In place of the million aire we have that awkwardly named but potent personage , the "multimil lionaire. " It U not surprising that his levclopment Is regarded with sonic con- crn. ( Jrenl wealth Is great power ; and t makes a vast difference to the com- minify whether It Is used for the pub- IP good or wholly for selfish cmK One lilng at least may be said by way of ( Moving solicitude upon this matter : I.ni If Americans have acquired the irt of getting great fortunes , not a few of them have learned to give generous- y from their abundance. The Anierl- an endowments of colleges , libraries , tospltals and other Institutions for the naterlal , Intellectual and moral Im- mivoment of the people mount up very year to a total which amazes ob- ervers In other countries , where such nterprlscs grow more slowly. Mr. Andrew Carnegie , who holds to the rlnclple that It Is a disgrace for a mane o die rich , signalized his recent retire- nent from netlvo business by creating fund of five million dollars for the ) enellt of his former workmen. The ucome of one-fifth Is to be devoted to he support of libraries which he had stabllsliod among them. The Income f the remainder Is to bo used for nldlir ; he Injured , pensioning the aged , and ellevlng the families of those who me killed by accidents. Mr. Carnegie d'd ot make this gift an an act of cliailty n his letter announcing It , he described t as a recognition "of the deep debt vhlch he owed to the workmen who md contributed to his success. " This s a form of debt \vhlch , unhappily , not 11 successful business men and Indus- rial leaders recognlxe ; but Just so far s It Is acknowledged and frankly met , s In Mr. Carnegie's gift , social prob- ems are greatly simplified. In their effort * to prevent mid stiinn' ut various virulent diseases scientific nun are recommending that certain nlmals and Insects be exterminated. < or a year or two relentless war Inus ) ccu waged on mosquitoes , at least In ho pages of medical and oilier scien tific Journals. Mosquitoes , It Is de clared , are responsible for malaria , yel- ow fever and other kindred diseases , aid should l > e destroyed. Now , on the mthorlty of a .Japanese scientist , his government Is about to propose a world- vide war on rats. Tlmy are blamed with spreading the bubonic plague , and he Japanese savant reolnres that If the rodents bo exterminated the plague will disappear with them. Both cats uid dogs have been charged with spreading the smallpox , and a move ment to wipe out these animals would not bo surprising. The greatest diffi culty In the way of exterminating eith er mosquitoes or rats lies In the fact that both are i > xe < Wln"-lv nmlliic v a rule , the smaller the animal the great er Us power ot reproduction. Thus , It would be easy enough to exterminate the elephant , and , In fact , that process Is already well under way , while the American blsrrn and other large ani mals hnve already been sent to Join tin dodo. But a mosquito reproduces Its kind by the million , and rats multiply with astonishing rapidity , as any house v.lfo ; will testify. Again , In underl.-ik Ing to destroy nits or any other spec.'e.s of living creatures , science Is taking i step lu the dark. The rat Is , to a certain tain extent , a soavejiger , and In tin. economy of nature every living thhij , IR supposed to have Its place. Wha would be the result If ra"ts were de stroycd no man can tell with certainty However , there ; Is small reason to wor ry about such a remote contingency , as , In the nature of tilings , It will take a century or two to accomplish either of the objects at which scientists are a.'m- Ing. , "I often feel , " safd n member of the Cabinet to a friend the other day , "that I could plek out better messengers and watchmen for my department than the Olvll .Service Commission gives me. But , " he added , emphatically , "pity me If the commission over goes out of business so that I have to ! " His re mark well typllles the relation of prac tical administrative olllcers toward what Is commonly known as "civil ser vice reform. " They could , doubtless , by personal selection pick out quite as good men for the various places under them as they can gel through the neccs surlly elaborate machinery of the Civil Service Commission. The trouble Is that , under the "patronage system , " an administrative olllcer Is rarely penult- ted , except In mere form , to pick out his own men. Instead of selecting messengers and watchmen himself , ho must concede "places" to the Inlluen- tlnl politicians who press him cease lessly for "recognition. " This Is the Invariable working of the spoils sys tem. The clerks of the rural free deliv ery establishment In Washington have never been put under the classified ser- vh e ; as a result the head of the bureau who needs his time for the development of this great national enterprise , says he has to keep bis doors locked against persons backed by political Influence who are clamoring for places under him. "If the "ntlre Postolllee Depart ment were run In this way , " ho re marked i he other day , "we should all have to move out of town to get any peace. " Under civil service reform the commission examines all candidates for places , without regard to polities or Influence , and designates those who are found , on the best obtainable tests , to be suitably qualified. From these the Cabinet olllcer or the head of the bu reau must make his choice. The merit * of this system , In plain American fair ness , are manifest , but not least of them Is that It given the administrative ofllcer Homo time for the really Import ant work before him.

A Memorial Day reference to the orl- ; In of the gospel liymn , "Hold the Fort , 'or I Am Coinlnjj , " 111 Hie New York lull find KxprcsH , brought from the pen f a participant thrilling recollections f a famous battle of the Civil War , nd one of the many heroic episodes of honiinn'n march to the sea. "I helped o hold the fort , " said the veteran , then captain In the Union army. " 1 Bup- OKO there tire not many of us left , for ve were not many when the tight be an , and we were weeded off faster bile It was on that In any battle of the Olvll War. "When Sherman made the campaign rom Chattanooga , to Atlanta I went vlth him as a staff otllccr under one of Is corps commanders. After Atlanta vos taken I went back In a train with squad of four men to pick tip the stalT aggage which we hnd left In Tonnes- ce. Other otllcers fiom other com- miiuls were on like errands and by the Ime we had got what we Avetit after ud the returning train was noarlng Atlanta , we had over 100 men aboard , ncludlng a border State major , who vas the ranking ulllccr , my own rank t the time being captain. Meanwhile , ud this wo did not know , Hood had wung around Atlanta and placed the ntlre Confederate army between us nd Sherman. My story begins when ve ran Into the advance guard of his rmy beyond Allatoona. "Wo were riding along with no nought of a rebel when the train topped with a Jolt and word came that i hostile force was holding the track a llfitance In front. The boys swarmed out of the freight cars with fixed bay onets and that major shouted 'charge1 ! looked ahead and I could catch the fleam of rltles here and there. I could icar the rumble of moving cannon and I could see clouds of dust rising far and vide. Evidently what we were up- reaching was not a guerrilla band , but an army In motion. I was scared and uad at the Kentucklan at the same time. ' "Charge nothing , ' I said. "That's flood's army coming and he will eat us up. Get back Into the coaches , boys. ' "The dust clouds were thickening as I spoke and the boys promptly scram bled Into the train and we started back the way we hnd come. The major had to follow and after that he did a think ing part , for the soldiers would not obey him. Our destination was Allatooiia Ifort , where Hrlgiidlcr General Corse ami a regiment of lowans were guard ing the puns and a million and a half of cracker rations. t "That night we halted alongside a block houho where a lieutenant. and some fifty men were stationed. At dark he and I climbed a nearby hill , whence wo could see the cnmpflrcs blazing be hind tis for mill's. The bray of mules came to us on the clear night air. the distant shouts and songs of the soldiers and the vast murmur that tells of the nwir presence of a host. Wo looked and listened and then I urged the lliMiicnnut to abandon his foit and come on to Al a- tooiKi , when * \vi > would have a chance to make a real tight. Hut he had sa'd ' he would stay there until Sherman or dered him to get out. "The next morning we steamed away , more In sorrow than In anger , leasing the blockhead and his blockhouse to their fate. We were scarcely clear of the village when the rebel guns bi'g.in to play. I saw the red brick dust ily from the blockhouse and then I saw a white Hag Ily over It. It was all o\ei with the lieutenant and his forlorn hope. We kept moving and at last we came to Allatoona. There we awaited the rebels. "When they came they came with a rush , 7HX ( ) strong. Soon Cor > c was winged and the next In command was kllhMl and there was no one above tin rank of captain loft. That was wlij we 'held the fort. ' Any general wou ! < have surrendered rather than have ex peed his men to such a butchery. I'.u It was a soldier's batt.e and tinold'er never knows wht > n he Is whipped. "In their flr t rush the .lolumliw got Into the sheds , almost within ston's throw of tlu > fort. We found them ly ing dead there when the battle w.is over. They wore behind trees ami back of mounds , and they were blazing a\\ay at us from the plain. There was not room for every man In the fort and my 'few ' men and myself had one pirthole among us. Kour would load the b'g Kntlohls while the fifth tired them and handed them back. When his shoulder .began to ache with the heavy recoil he , would exchange places with one of the .loadcts. I "It was deadly work and.as It seemed 1 to us , hopele s \ \ ork. The men dropped at the portholes. In the trenehes they were falling everywhere. All our Hags went down. Over yonder on Kenesaw Mountain , Sherman was signaling : Hold the fort ; I am coming , ' and we jlgnaled back a cheery answer , but soon all our signal men were shot down and Sherman could only guess by the nolso of our guns that we wore sMll lighting. \Vu \ could not keep the colors up and our 'fire ' began to dwindle. I remember at last I picked up my army overcoat , 1 was sure It was nil over and I thought I should need It In Andersonvllle. "Hut there was a young lieutenant , nick with some wasting fever , who sat Inside the fort , hi ? lips moving and hla pyes blazing. When the thought of sur render was uppermost with all of UK , suddenly he sprang to his feet and , seiz ing one of the shattered flags , leaped upon the parajMJt and stood waving it there In the midst of that storm of bul- letfi. letfi."lie "lie dropped dead In a moment , but he did not die In vain. Ills heroism drove us back to the defenses and noth ing could drive us away. When the fighting ceased again It was because the Confederates had drawn off , convinced that the game was not worth the can dle. "Sherman came as he had promised , but It was not until the day after the battle. I was standing In front of the hospital as he came riding up on a black horse. Sherman had nerves of Iron , but the eight of the wreck of that battle was more than he could endure. As he came abreast of me suddenly his horse went up In the air ; the rider had drawn back with an Involuntary shock and his steed , feeling the sudden pressure on the rein , had reared under him. Thus we held the fort. " A Memory o ( The apple blossom season never comes , " bald the veteran as he wander ed about In hla orchard , "but what 1 think of the charge of 1'lckett at Get tysburg , through the orchards of peach uitl apple bloom up to the muzzles of he Union guns. History has always ailed the orchard at Gettysburg , vhere the culmination of the battle vas , a 'peach * orchard. It was , but here were then as many apple trees n the valley as peach , and there was bloom everywhere , and after a time lying men and dead men , overturned guns and slaughtered horses. I was vlth Kllpatrick then , Just by the orch- ml , and you , " speaking to the girl by ils side , "were not yet born. Your uotlicr was up north here waiting for no to get out of the army and come to icr for our wedding day. And we were narrled the next year when the apple bloom came round again. "That last day at Gettysburg I saw one of Plckett'H men go to his tlnal end under the bloom. He came across the 5mmltsburg road with Plckett , mount- d , riding a big bay horse. Once I was tear enough to him to have called the line of day or to have asked him what ic thought of the dunce old Hancock ind Meade were giving him and his. crimps he was UO years old , and he ind a face as soft In shape and as pink md white as yours. Our men were loldlng their tire while Plckett ud- nnced. They hnd to , for ammunition vus short and we had almost every- hlng in line , for one last struggle , that ve' possessed. "When wo did open up more than 12- 000 men were firing point-blank Into the Confederates. Stop them ? Not a bit of It. The young fellow that I could not keep my eye off was coming right on. Lie belonged to the Ninth Vlrglna ind the best blood of the South was following him up. He laughed all the time. That struck mo as very strange at the moment. On he and they came to our rltle pits and Into them. Our men were pushed behind the guns. jLiiinners were bayoneted. Confederate guns were flaunted In our faces and we were doing all that humans could dote to save our position and the day. "Then , my girl , something happened. Over on Cemetery Hill many of our butteries had been silent the guns were cooling off. Now , just as the Con federates seemed to have the best of us. these gum. opened up. God , what ruin they wrtught. The Confederate Hue was simply mowed down. The dead and dying piled up so fast they rose like wlnrows In a hay field. My young lad with the laughing face did | his best to hold his men. How could ' he ? Of liuO of his regiment over 200 [ were dead or out of action. "The young fellow turned at the last moment to make his escape , and then came hl moment. I saw him go high j out of his saddle up to the bloom that was in the trees and then ho fell to the ground like a leaden mass. We were victors. I did not see the young Con federate again until the next day , when we found him under the trees and gave him a deceent burial. I never knew his mime nor anything more of him but that he wore the Insignia of the Ninth Virginia. " XMtn'ltv nml Pluck. As an instance of remarkable vltnllty uuil pluck , I believe u surgical case we had at the battle of Lexington , Mo. , In September , 18.51 , will equal anything during the war. A inoiulipr of Com pany K. Thirteenth Missouri , was struck by a cannon ball whleh carried away his arm and shoulder , and also lacerated his cheat. This happen < d about 4 p. m. the tlrst day of our light. The boy was picked up and carried to the hospital , but as the ease was con sidered hopeless and many others to atten 1 to. nothing was d mo for him until 11 p. in. , when all the other wounded had been cared for. Find nt ; him still alive he was carried to Ho table and his wounds earefully dressed but with no expectation of recove y. On the seventh day Price's men cap tured our hospital , which was In a brick bud.ng some two hundred yards to our right , an 1 our wounded were put In a cellar to be out of the way of bul lets. When our men charged to retake the hospital , this boy seized n gun in his one hand , run out with arms at trail from the cellar , and led the charge Into and through the biilld'ng , lie lived through the trials and e.xpcs- ures of our Imprisonment and Is living to-day.
