It. still retains all Its classic names and classic costumes, and does not feature prizefighters as Its artistic exponents. Wo believe In affording all possible encouragement to the budding poets, but our advice to that young woman who has written a poem In Avhich she mako.4 "mausoleum" rhyme with "pe troleum" Is that she dash oil' her burn trig thoughts in prose hereafter.

It is ;enerous of the Juris to pay this splen J.Id trlbuto to the genius of the foe. It Is announced, with apparent seri ousness, that .Miss lOllen M. Stone has' decided to return to her old field of missionary labor in Macedonia, where uho had a sensational adventure with Jrlgands two or three years ago. If tho report be true it is only necessary to say that, In view of her experience, Miss Stono ought to bo prepared for whatever may befall her and that she ought not to appeal for ransom money if tho bandits capture her again. In other words, Miss Stone knows exactly what chances she is taking and wis isavo nobody but herself to blame if uho gets Into trouble again. When the Marquis, of Queensberry seeks In court n ilcenso to carry a gun to protect himself and his children from tho deadly onslaught of the reck less automobller, It is apparent that over-speeding and scorching through city streets is by no means an evil con fined to strenuous Americans. Since lines are Ineffective, It Is now suggest ed that tho ancient law of the deodand bo revived and the punishment shifted to the machine that does the mischief Under the deodand of yore a cart run ning over or occasioning the death of a "reasonable creature" was forfeited to the king for pious purposes. If for cart automobile be substituted anil In place of tho king a society for the pre tention of cruelty to reasonable crea tures u modern law of the deodand, the proposer coutends, would prove a gen uine blessing. The task of arranging for the suc cession to a throne In a hereditary monarchy is sometimes as complicated ns that of nominating a candidate for tho presidency in America. The Count of Plunders, brother of King Leopold. Is tho heir t tho throne or llelglum, kh the kl'ig has no sons. The count Hrh agreed to renounce his claims to' the succession when ni brother dies, and to permit Prlnco Albert, his son, to succeed. Prlnco Albert, however, has not yet been declared tho succes ql of Leopold, and the European dis patches announce that there Is some hesitation about asking the parliament to consent to tho formal declaration of tho change, becauso the socialists would object to allowing forty thou sand dollars a year to Prlnco Albert to support tho dignity of his position Tho socialists think that the king or tho Count of Flanders, both wealthy men, should provide for tho prlnco out of their own fortunes. Professor J. Lawrence Luughlln ol tho University of Chicago laments In tho Atlantic Monthly tho present ten dency to denounco the getting and keeping of wealth, as If riches were in themselves Immoral and the talents by which they are gathered and stored branded their possessors as criminals. "If men had not been, decade after decode, saving and storing up capital," says Professor Luughlln, "It would bo as Impossible to employ the great mass of laborers now existent as it would bo to feed an army on promises In stead of on solid rations." That Is true, and It Is also true that without capital stored wealth nono of tho great advances of what we call civili zation would have been possible. Take tho discovery and colonization of America as an illustration: All the zeal of Columbus, and all tho willing ness of those who believed in his idea about a shorter passago to the Indies to devote their brains and bodies to tho task of finding it, -would have been unavailing had not capital been found to equip tho expedition and to pay tho crows and care for their families dur ing their absence. Without the aid of capital Columbus could never have left the shores of Spain. All the de votion of the Pilgrim Fathers and all their patient endurance of hardship would not have won then) freedom to worship Cod as they wished without the help of capital. Stored -wealth, saved and accumulated In the past, was necessary to send them across tho Atlantic and feed and clothe them there until they could begin to savo and store for themselves. Without capital they could not have started from Holland, much less could they have existed In the new homes they sought. Why Is the earth so much more populous to-day than ever be fore? Not because Its natural re sources are greater. They are less, for some of them have been destroyed. Partly because men have found out better ways to extract food from the earth, but chiefly because the stored wealth, created and acquired In tho past, makes It. possible to feed more children through the years of helpless ness Instead of letting them die or kill ing them as savages do lest there bo more mouths than food. Discontented as any of us may be with civilization as it is, it is time that wo all recog-' nlzed the fact that stored wealth or capital Is its Indispensable foundation.' Labor cannot, save under very excep tional circumstances, oven live by It self alone. The most Industrious fam ily, planted on the most fertile sbll, without some stored wealth, would per Ish In a few days. It must have food every day. It must have arms to hunt or tools to dig. And all these are capital, the savings of some one In the past. Many of us may not like our civilization, but it is time that all of us stopped talking nonsenso about curing its Ills by abolishing capital and treating as criminals those bees of tho human race who savo and store wealth for It. To do that Is simply to re turn to the most degraded, helpless, and miserable savagery. And wo all know this when we once clear our minds of the current cant about capi talists and capital. Tho Pnnt lteoallod. One of the charms of travel, partic ularly among historic scenes, Is the privilege of realizing more fully that past of which we have read and thought, and dreamed.

Tho author of "Two English woiih'u in CJ recce" repeats n story which flings a stone at an American. Of course, the lover of art or of arch eology should avoid all miscellaneous alliances, and If ho cannot fall In with those who know, let him take a guldo and worry it out by himself. Other wise he will receive shocks such as greeted tho ears of a party of enthu siasts who, steeped In classic lore, as cended to the Parthenon one moonlight night, when column and architrave, rock and ruin alike seemed wrapped in silvery silence.

There is something fairly demoni acal in the way coffee sometimes wreaks its fiendish malice on those who use it. A lady writing from California says: "My husband and I, both lovers of coffee, suffered for some time from a very annoying form of nervousness, ac companied by most frightful head aches. In my own case there wai eventually developed some sort of af fection of the nerves leading from the spine to the head. "I was unable to hold my head up straight, the tension of the nerves drew it to one side, causing me the most Intense pain. We got no relief from medicine, and were puzzled as to what caused the trouble, till a friend suggested that possibly the cpffee we drank had something to do with It, and advlswl that we quit It and try Postum Coffee, "We followed his advice, and from the day that we began to line Postum we both begun to Improve, and In a very short time both of us were entire ly relieved. The nerves became steady once more, the headaches ceased, tho muscles In the back of my neck relar ed, my head straightened up und tho dreadful pain Hint had so punished mo while I used the old kind of coffee vanished. "We have never resumed the nee of (he old coffee, but relish our PoHtuiu rtory day an well an we did the former beverage. And we are dellghtod to find that we can glvo It freely to our rhlldren aUo, eometblng we never dared to do with tho old kind of cof feo." Name given by Postum Co., Bat tle Creek, Mich.

An interesting examplo of tho moth ids of tho Post Ofllcc Department In racing tip a lost or mlssent letter la Jie case of a news letter mailed at pumberlnnd, Md., and addressed to tVnshlngton, says tho Washington Itar. This letter was sent to Freder ick, Md., and arrived at Washington t day later than expected. Coi -plaint ints made to the postal authorities, S'illi tho result that it was traced from !ho thno of Its deposit lu the mail car 5o that of its arrival in Washington, md the clerk responsible for tho er ror was located. In the matter of registered letters 1 is a simple tiling to trace them, but fdiore there is no record kept of a let :cr and the only tiling to depend upon b the postmark, It is entirely differ ent. This inquiry passed through four :een hands before being returned to :ho complainant, that number of otil :iuls being engaged in its care en route. Tho original complaint went to tho shief clerk of tho railway mail serv ice stationed at Baltimore, who for warded the memorandum to the post master nt Frederick for Information is to how ho got hold of the letter iddressed to Washington. He replied M tho chief clerk that tho letter was In a package marked for the Fred Brick olllce, but that ho did not know now it came to be sent there.. Tho Met clerk at Baltimore then sent an Inquiry to the clerk In chnrgo of the train by which the letter was dis patched to Frederick, asking how tho iC-tter was disposed of on his train. It went to him by way of tho superin tendent of tho railway mail service, who Indorsed It: "Please continue in vestigation." The clerk replied from Cumberland that tho letter was dispatched in New York & Grafton Hallway post otllce train No. 4, nt 2:1S a. m., April 27. rhls reply came back to Washington and another inquiry was sent to tho transfer clerk at Cumberland. He made reply according to the informa tion he had and the matter continued. At last came the reply to tho com plainant. It read: "Attention Is Invited to the report of the superintendent of tho third di vision of the railway mnll service, in aicatlng that the railway postal clerk responsible for missending this let ter has been located, 'fills otllce re grets the annoyance caused by this er ror and hopes tho action tnkon (a reprimand to the clerk and a caution to be more careful lu future) will pro vent its repetition." .
