There is still some hope for the race. college student who was hazed is Ming tho college for damages instead it proudly preserving tho scars to ex hibit them so that tho boys at home might dlo of jealousy. A Parisian who sought a divorce from his wife on the ground that she played tho piano from morning till night was refused tho divorce by the sourt, which held thnt tho grievance rvus "nelthor pertinent nor odmlsslble." How could the court tell that if it did not hear her play? An Oberlln doctor says man would live to bo 3 W) years old, and In full possession of his mental and physical vigor, If lie would observe tho laws of health. Think how hard it would bo to llvo with a man who had passed through ICO winters and still retained his momory and powers of speech. Tho happiest people are those who flo not need much government, and, not needing It, do not have it forced upon them. Tho best President and tho best Congress aro not always those which do the most, but rather those rvhich nro wise enough to discriminate jmd do Avell the little that ought to be pone, ltunnlng tho government as it la regularly established, in its unchang ing and perfunctory relations to the people, is a big enough contract to eon a great many capable men busy, ivlthout tho invention of now schemes. Dr. IIlllls, tho Brooklyn pastor, is considering tho quostlon whether or not "Icjlots should bo killed at birth." People of these materialistic tonden pies arc always so anxious to kill somo body! WJiat'H tho matter with curing them? We honv of much running to mid fro and avo see much brandishing dbout of the torch of science, enlighten ment and civilization. To what pur pose, pray, is all this outcry if it leads to the slaughter of the helpless or the chloroforming of tho experienced? A locomotlvo engineer once stated that ho hated to run over people, it mussed his onglno up so. So we hate to kill people. It musses up the national con science and tho general warmth of henrt gets calluses on it. Tho permanent withdrawal of the British garrisons from the fortresses at Halifax and Esquimult has been accomplished so quietly that North America as a whole has been scarcely conscious of tho fact. It means, how over, that for tho flrst time in centuries the British soldier has left our con tinent entirely to its own military dc yJces, and this has a historical slgnlll canco which does not escape the atten tion of thoso who Jmvo in mind the part the British soldier has played in America. If you have tho right kind of an Imagination it cannot fall to re pond to the stimulus of this Interest ing, if conspicuous ovont; you think of JLlraddock and Wolfe and Burgoync and Brock and the columns of redcoats that forever will march through tho pages of our school histories. As a result of the conditions dis closed by the testimony before tho committee that has boon considering the protests against allowing Heed Smoot to represent Utah in the Senate, the demand for a nutlonal marriage and divorce law has been revived. Be fore, such a law can be passed it will be necessary to extend the powers of Congress by an amendment to the constitution. Although It is a mat ter of great dllllculty to secure a vote of t.vo-t birds of both houses of Con gress and the consent of the legisla tures of three-fourths of the States to such an amendment, yet the crying need of uniform marriage and divorce laws, and of some means to destroy polygamy, makes the object worth the effort. The President In a message to Congress lias urged uniformity in State laws on these subjects, and Unit is much to be desired. But the advan tages of a national law are obvious. It would not only transfer the prosecu tion of Mormon polygamlsts from State to national courts, but It would put an end to the scandal of the re marriage In one State of divorced men and women forbidden to marry by the laws and, courts of the State in which they were divorced. At present it is not uncommon for persons divorced In New York to go across the Hudson river Into New Jersey, contract anoth er marriage, return to New York and live in open violation of the laws of that, State. Those to whom divorce is denied In one State can take up resi dence in another State, where the Inws are lax, secure divorce, return home and marry. A national law would not remove the desire for divorce, but It would deprive many foolish people, to call tlioin by no worse name, of the sanction of the law in their marital crimes. As it will take some years to amend the constitution, those who seek to protect the purity of tho home moy find occupation, In the meantime, In Impressing on the young a proper sense of the dignity and sacredness of the marriage bond, and of the obliga tions involved. The statement that 95 per cent of all business men in this country fail lias been made so often, without being con tradicted, that it long ago came to bo so thoroughly accepted as to lie a plat itude. Demagogic malcontents have long danced to Uie sweet sound of this statement. Ponderous political and soclologleal arguments have been bas ed upon this hypothesis. But, after all, there Is no truth in it. It Is with out any foundation whatever. How it hnd its origin nobody can guess. The editor of Bradstreet's has produced sta tistics showing that tho average annual late of business failures Is not D" per cent, but less than 1 per cent. Quite a largo difference! This estimate is based upon figures complied for many j ears, and it includes actual failures with inability to pay debts. There are other business failures, particularly the failures to succeed. These cannot bo accurately counted, but it is known that there were 28-1, MY.i names erased from the business register of IDOU. These seem to indicate failures to sue coed. But in the same year there were .'122,000 names added to the business register. Undoubtedly most of the new business enterprises were taken up by men who had discontinued other line's of business. A change in business, or in firm name, docs not necessarily in dicate a failure. Nor does actual dis aster in business always mean actual failure. Many of tho men most emi nently successful to-dny liavo met re verses. Many have paid dearly for the experience that makes them mas ters in their lines. But it cannot bo truthfully said that one has failed bo long as ho Is able to draw himself to gether and try again.

Tiioy aro proof against failure because they attempt little. Others aim high, and, though they fall some times in their course, If they get up again and win the goal, they aro not to bo counted as failures they are the eminent successes. This is not a coun try of failuro, but of success. The amazing industrial advancement of tho nation is most practical and substan tial proof that successes, not failures, are to bo counted In the high figures. JiiBt on Triul.

Old ".Teems" was the doorkeeper in Broughlon Place Church, Edinburgh, when Dr. John Brown's father was pastor there. Dr. Brown, It is scarce ly necessary to add, Avas the author of "Marjorlo Fleming" and "Bab and Ills Friends," tho best child story and the best dog story ever written. .Teems was a genuine Christian, but, "like all complete men," ho had a gift of humor, kindly although uncouth. One day two strangers in the Broughton Place Church made thcm solves over to Jeerns to bo furnished with seats. MoUonlng them to follow, he walked majestically to tho farthest corner, where he had decreed that they should sit. The couple, meantime, had found seats near the door, and stepped Into them, leaving .Teems to march ahead alone, while the whole congregation watched him with some relish and alarm. He got to his destination, opened the pew door and stood aside; nobody appeared. He looked sharply round, and Uierj gnvo a look of general wrath "ai lairge." No one doubted his victory. His keen, deep-set gray eyes fell, oi seemed to fall, on Uie two culprits, pulled them out instantly and hur ried them to their appointed place. Jeems showed them slowly in, and gave them a peering look they were not likely to misunderstand or forget On" another occasion a parish lonci put a crown piece into the plate in stead of a penny, and, staring at Its white, precious face, asked to have it back, but was refused. "In once, in forever," said Jeems. "Aweel, awcel," grunted the parish ioner, "I'll got credit for it in heaven!" "No, na," said Jeems, "you'll got credit only for the penny!" At that time tho crowds and the pool ventilation made fainting a common occurrence in Broughton Place, espe cially among the young servant girls. The young doctor had taught Jeems the philosophy of fainting fits, and had instructed him especially as to the pro priety of- laying the sufferers quite flat on the floor of tho lobby, with the head as low as the rest of the body. As many of these cases were owing to what Jeems called "that bitter yerkln' " of their bodices in other words, Ught lacing he and the doctor lost no time in relieving the victims by cutUng their staylaces, which ran before the knife, nnd "cracked like a bowstring," as Jeems said. One. day n young woman who bad fainted was slowly coming to. Jeems came round to the doctor with his open gully (knife) In his hand. "Wull I rip 'er up noo?" he whis pered. It happened not to be a case for "ripping up;" and, thanks to an in creasing knowledge of physiology, every year there were fewer opportuni ties of administering the wholesome lesson.

One evening I was sitting with an Italian friend in a restaurant, and we wore diSQiisslng American laws and re strictions, at which ho was very much inclined to scoff. "Did you ever see a dollar that Is not a dollar?" said he. I shook my head, and he rolled across the table to me a sliver coin. It seemed to me to be a dollar. I examined it with every care, and, getting nnother from the cash register, compared the two. They were exactly alike in weight, sound, color, milling, nnd all. At last I got them confused, and only my friend was able to point out which was which. "That Is what we call a Palermo dol lar," he said. "Do you remember some years ago Unit Western silver miners were caught taking about seven million dollars' worth of silver into tho Nevada City mint, nnd having it turned Into money without being re corded? Well, that is is just what is going on in Palermo 'to-day, with va riations.
