A mnil mnkes no particular progress by patting himself on 1 ho buck. Virtue inny bo Its own reward, but It Is not Its own advertising Agent T Wonder If Mr. Carnegie really In tended to Include tbo "herolno" In his generous offer? A capitalist will respect you more If you try, to borrow $5,000 than If you ask for only .$0. The .Tnpanoso have Invented an in extlngulehnblo flro. They havo also been using a fairly occurato ono. Tho man who will point a gun at a friend and toll him that "It Isn't load ed" shows ovcry Indication of being loaded himself. If tho averago girl doesn't play tho harp In tho next world any better than sho plays tho piano In thiH thero's go ing to bo trouble. Wo aro solemnly Informed that the czar has u passion for brle-a-brae. Just now ho appears to bo anxious to sccuro somo pieces of old China. A Salt Lnko girl received H00O.000 tho other day whon she became 18 years old. Uor friends aro now anx iously wultlng for her to pick out her duke. Noodlo manufacturers havo formed o trust and boardlng-houso keepers will hereafter place only four noodles In each bowl of soup, but prunes will still bo served llvo times a week. According to n Now York physician, thirty-two per cent of tho criminals of this country are loft-handed. It is easy to see that when a man puts his hand to criminal work It isn't right. Tho Japs aro reported to have in vented a ilro that will burn under water. If tho Japs want to get right next to tho hearts of tho American people let them now invent a furnace tire Unit will burn without coal. People who havo Investigated the uubjeet agree in tho. belief that this country's army of grafters is more dangerous to the stability of tho repub lic than 'tho confederate army was In 1802. Tho tiring must bo continuous If tho United States is to bo saved. Hx-Soerctary Gage declares thoro is no truth in tho assertion that every man who lias over a million dollars got It dishonestly. Every man who has more than a million will agree with him, and tho ones who have less than a million each can only guess anyway. Commenting on tho heraldic design of the two-headed eagle, a London paper lias explained that there Is no especial signification to such a double animal. It Is simply the fusion of two figures placed back to back on the same shield. Home ono suggests that tho American eagle needs two heads, because ho has to watch two oceans at once, and with continuous attention. Not at all. Any American knows that a true Yankeo eagle can turn Its head quickly enough to cover tho home plato, and still prevent nny ono from stealing bases. "Tho small number of words actu ally necessary for ordinary purposes In our everyday life Is surprising, and nothing Illustrates this bettor than the limited vocabulary of a Httlo child." Dr. M. Harris said, "I have a daugh ter, 0 years old. She is ablo to make all her wants known, to talk freely and easily. If an adult know just tho number of words In a foreign tonguo that she knows In her own ho would bo ablo to get along nicely In a conversational way with people who spoke nothing but that language. What tho child's vocabulary comprises, how many words and of what classes I recently mado it my business to as certain In a series of Investigations extending over n considerable period of time. I found that the total num bor of words sho know and used was just 352, omitting proper names, and that 04 per cent of these were nouns 18 per cent verbs and 31 per cent ad jectives, tho romnindor Doing, mado up of conjunctions, propositions and pi nouns." o- Womcn Interested in practical edu cation nro planning tho establishment of a course in "mothering" in tho Lon don technical schools. They bollovo that tho clrls of tho present day know too Httlo about tho cares of babies, and they propose to provido tho girls with lifo-sized Imitation babies of rubber, In tho caro of which they will receive instruction for a year. They will havo wicker cradles, and two compieto out fits of clothing, ono for tho early stage of life, whon long drosses aro worn, and tho other for tho beginning of tho short-dress period. Tho pupils will bo required to learn to dress and un dress tho rubber dolls, and to learn how to feed them and to put thcrn to sleep, and to do all tho many nceos-. sary things Incident to tho caro of an Infant. Tho children of tho poor, who tako caro of their own baby brothers and slstors, know about all tho things that would bo taught In tho course, and know them bolter than tho school girls will loarn thorn, becauso they tend llvo babies. It is curious how tho artificial llfo of largo cities com pels tho adoption of artificial methods for teaching the young tho slmplo facts Avhlch in a more natural llfd they learn from tho beginning. Thoro is good news that thcro Is tt bo a reform In sleeping cars. Hero- after Instead of panels of pressed carving and heavy draperies and pad ded plush seats and a gonoral cheat) plush photograph album appearance, thoro Is to lio plain or Inlaid panels, light curtains and as Httlo upholster ing as possible. All this will mako tho cars moro sanitary and moro com fortablo as well as cultivating a bettor taste. It is said that bad tasto has boon spread by tho docorntlons of tho 1'ullmun cars. Pcoplo' of no natural taste, seeing these, havo adopted thorn as a standard, and tho result In that' thousands of homes havo been mado ugly by the copying of thoso abomina tions. Tho Pullman Company aro to bo congratulated In tnklng ono step from their bazar ornamentations to ward better tasto and higher civiliza tion. They could go another and a longer stop by not charging $2 or ?2.70. for a shelf in a car, when a very good hotel will furnish n wholo room and better accommodations for 50 cents or J?l for tho night. Also thoy might re form their perfectly dovllhdi rule of charging $2 extra for air if tho tipper berth was not occupied. Thcro oughtj t bo a law compelling thorn to doi this much for tliolr patrons. Now thoy Hhut the upper berth down almost like' a coflln lid, oven if the upper berth is not occupied, and if tho occupant of tho lower berth wants the air of that Inclosed place, ho must pay ?2 oxtra for it The public is a good deal llko a pack of wolves. When a wolf goes! down tho pack, leaps upon him and tears him to pieces. Tuko a groat financier, for example. There Is Sully. A fow months ago ho had friends In, Wall street by the hundreds. Mon of wealth and of power wore glad to sit with him in games of poker, to bo seen with him on tho streets, to bo known as his friends and confidantes and confederates. Sully's methods wero known just as well thon as they aro now, yet every man was His friend. Thousands took advantage of Ids meth ods to make fortunes for themselves. llo failed, and Instantly ho Is con demned; Instantly, llko wolves, wo aro upon him; not one out of all tho thousands that mado money through him stands up for him. Ills methods, protlted by before, aro now denounced. Yes, tho public Is like a pack of wolvon though It hardly seems Just to say It Without an apology to tho wolves. There Is no good reason to assume that the financier who falls Is any moro reprehenslblo than tho ones that keejij their foot. Thoro aro groat swindlers without number to-day thriving andj being toadied to, who just as richly de servo tho penitentiary as thoy would if they should fall. Failure, which dooms wolf or man, Is not In fact oven an ln-i dlcatlon of wrong. Some of tho no blest men and best enterprises have failed. No longer ago than 1000 tho big brokerago firm of Prlco, McCor- mlck & Co., wont to smash with lia bilities amounting to $13,000,000. Prlco paid 82 cents on tho dollar and was discharged In bankruptcy from further legal obligations. But ho voluntarily assumed moral obligation. It Is now stated that tho last dollar necessary to squaro tho big account has been paid. Of course, Mr. Price's action has had many precedents. Mark Twain sup piled ono of them. It Is a course that indicates standards of commercial" hon or that cannot bo too much encour aged. Wo need more of tho manhood that denounces dishonest and unjust methods in splto of their success and loss of tho wolflshness that tears to pieces the man, good or bad, who falls, Korean Patriotism. Tho Koreans havo been called an un patriotic people. This may bo true If patriotism means a passionate dcslro for tho welfare of one's country; but If a consuming dcslro for tho prosor vatlon of national Identity Is patriot-. Ism, then tho Koreans aro indeed pa triotic. The ono thing thoy fear Is na tional extinction, whether such oxtlnc tlon would moan bettor government or not. They would rather llvo without equltablo government, without sanita tion, without education, without any of tho Concomitants of civilization, if with thoso they must nlso accept foreign domination.
