A man may easily bo trans ported lo tho vanishing point ot so briety by tho passionate momentary Impulsn for which ho Is romorseful when It Is too Into. That oxporlcnco hns Just befallen a clergyman of this city, who, In default of any clear nnd nccurato npprehenslon of tho facts, took It upon hlmsolf to de nounce) tho conduct of a prlvato social gathering Tho clergyman has mndo an honornblo nnd mnnful retraction of his remark, saya tho I'hllndolphla Ledgor. It Is a commentary upon tho Bcnsntlon-sceklng naturo of somo peo plo that tho church was filled to over flowing to hear tho upology but, at any rate Mm public recnntatlon or uind f ,to:iilHcd. Tho mlsfortuno ... limt was necossnry, TIjo clergy man In particular, from tho sanclty and authority of his ofllco, Is bound to mcasu.o his words and consider their posslblo effect upon those whom ho Is addressing. If tho pulpit gives him a uulquo opportunity, It gives him al so a supremo responsibility. Moro uninformed lnvoctlvo from tho pulpit against ovcrolaboratlon In social en tertainment la likely to havo no furth or result than to crcnto class hatred and to stir up blind discontent which mny ovorstop tho boundary of ironl cal commentary, Tho complaint that colleges aro moving too xupldly away from tho old looming Is ono very froquantly heard In our day Many people havo at tributed this drift to tho fact that undorgraduntos nro permitted to map out tholr own courses of study, and to do this under tho tnftuenco ot a delusion that only tho so tormod "practical" subjects aro apt to provo of any ucrvlco to them In aftor life, says tho Iloston Herald. Honco tho clasoes In accounting, or In Industrial chemistry, or In political sclonco nro largo enough to tut tho capacity of collego locturo rooms, whllo profes sors of Crook or Sanskrit discourse to half empty benches on tho boau ties of tho "Odyssey" nnd tho aphor isms of the "Itlg Voda." Dut tho ox perlonco ot tho unlvorslty extension coursos which havo been offered In Hooton during tho last throe or four years seems to provo that tho supe rior magnotlsm ot tho uo-callod broad and buttor studies Is Just as pro nouncod In tho outor world as It la within tho collogo gaton. Tho Empress Kugonlo Is living. She Is In lior clghty-oIghtU year.

It is mi oxamplo which many young women on this nldo would avoid much misery and trouble by hooding. If Dr, Friedman ot Ilorlln carries out his reported intention ot turning over hla phthisis euro to tho Oormnn government tho world will hnvo an opportunity to Judge it on its merits. So tar the world haa had a right to reuorve its opinion, and to remark that thora was nothing to distinguish hla mothods of oxploltatlou from Uiobo ot tho charlivtuuB. Tho romnant ot ofllclnl serfdom haa boon abolished In Russia. Hut real! norfdom In that country will ond only with tho abolition ot autocracy.

Atter She Had Freed Victim, Golfers Who Had Wltnceied the Combat Go to the Rescue of Her Brood, Oriiaha.--J. D. Haskell, a banker of W,aKefleld, and Judgo Eric Johnson of I'utnam, while playing a match game of golf several days ago, witnessed a battlo royal between n mother part ridge, defending her young, and a hawk. ' Tho players wero putting for tho sev enteenth hole. Tho banker had mado his third shot nnd won tho hole, glv. Ing him ono up nnd ono to play. Ab tho Judgo was putting his nttcntlon was suddenly called to tho loud crios of a mother partridge, which Mr. Has kell discovered nenrlng tho eighteenth ground. Tho mothor bird was anx ious to got hor four young ones away from tho golfers.

Tho hawk swooped down nnd grab bed ono of tho chicks beforo tho par ent could divert nttontion wholly from tho plnyorH to tho bird of prey. Mr. Hawk was rising with It, whon tho mothor discovered tho selzuro nnd mndo whnt might bo called a flying leap for tho aorlal pirato. Then followod a duel in midair, IB feet from tho ground, which held tho golfers spellbound. Thoy could not hnvo Intorfered at this stago of tho battlo had they possessed the oppor tunity, so fnsclnntlng was tho strug glo botwoon, on tho ono sldo of tho fearlessness, desperation nnd spunk Inspired by tho mothor lovo of tho partrldgo, and on tho other sldo tho anvagory of tho hawk. Roth tho combntants tumbled to tho sward, with tho partrldgo on top, clnw Ing, pecking nnd rolling over and over. Feathers flow.
