You are not obliged to discuss your
business or affairs with every one you
may chance to know; but In dealing
with a confidential friend be perfectly
frank. Disclose the real motives of
your conduct, and then those who dif

A number of American physicians
who have been experimenting with the
Roentgen rays express their belief that
Itwlllcuresomeofthe most serious dis
eases. ' They say the magnetic ray
passes directly Into the system, setting
up electrolysis. This liberates oxygen
to generate ozone, which Is sure death
to bacilli. The new form of treatment
is at least interesting and not likely to
do any harm.
The pure food? law now in force In
Philadelphia has developed the fact
that numerous groceries are selling cof
fee In which there is do trace of coffee,
and mincemeat in which meat is en
tirely lacking. Tricks of this kind are
severely punished in England, but in
America they are carried on to a shame
ful extent. Legislators would stop this
cheating if they were not more deeply
interested in small politics than in the
protection of the rights and health of
the community.
Of course the Suez Canal is a great
waterway, but Its business is far be
hind that conducted on a ship canal In
the United States. The Sue Canal lu
1896 passed 3.434 steamers, or not quite
an average of ten a day. The Soo Canak
which was open last year only 231 days,
passed during that time 12,41)5 steam
ers, 4,790 sailing vessels and 671 unreg
istered craft, an average of over seventy-two
a day. If the comparison be
made by tonnage the Soo Canal leads
by nearly two to one. It Is a great
showing for American business ac
tivity. While the question of applying an
educational test to all immigration Is
before Congress the following brief
table shows the necessity for adopting
some socJh measure of self-protection
against that coming from Italy: Ital
ian Immigration to March 31, this
year, 13,946; Illiterates in same, 7,001;
per cent of Illiteracy among Italians,
80.2. But a worse exhibit than this
appear from the manifests of 3,174
Immigrants ever 14 years of age ar
riving at the port of New York during
April, 1896, on four steamers from
Q&oa and Naples. The examination
and analysis yielded the following star
tling Information: Tout Immigrants
examined, 3,174; percentage of males,
89.2; percentage of females, 10.8; total
Illiterates, 2,147; per rent Illiterate,
67.6; percentage male Illiteracy, 68.5;
percentage female Illiteracy, 76.7. Of
tkla mass of undesirable Immigrants
ottfy 197, er 6.2 per cent, were de
barred under existing Immigration
laws. Ia the fsce of such facts as
these will anyone say that we ought
not to apply an educational test to
AH Immigrants? The man who can

He thinks that Cod might have made

would not have been In keeping with
the ordinary conditions of the dispensa
tions under which we live. He notices
instam-es and elements ot uncertainty
in the strict meaning of the words but
sees "bounding, temieri!ig and overrul
ing them all the radiance of the IHvine
Spirit, which has flooded the Holy
Scriptures with a supply tit light that
our experience, now reaching over sev
eral thousand years, has proved to is?
fully adequate to all the needs of man
kind. uA this Is the rock that may
still and ever be Justly termed impreg

the light, the force and the influence
proceeding from the Hook as a whole
lies tjie l-st claim and proof of Its di
vine inspiration. Krriug in details, its
inerrancy lies in its general message to
the children of men.
The crime of the man Lehman, who
shot himself and his three children at
Chicago, Is another illustration of the
effect of criminal example. Some weeks
ago when another coward took the lives
of his entire family, afterward commit
ting suicide, the newspapers took o-a-sion
to point out the relation between
this crime and two similar instances
occurring within a comparatively sliort
time. The Lehman murders belong to
the same category and were undoubted
ly inspired by the example of the other
criminals. Lehman, presumably. le
came di-smdent because of money
matters and determined to Imitate the
deeds of other scoundrels, escaping
the troubles of life by obliterating the
entire family. What was said on the
occasion of the other crimes should le
repeated now with redoubled emphasis.
There Is no term of opprobrium too
harsh to apply to this new and despica
ble form of crime. The suicide of the
murderer Is no expiation. It merely
heightens the cowardice, the dastardll
ness. the meanness of the offense. Leh
man is to be considered as a four-fold
murderer and a miserable poltroon Into
the bargain. The only pretext which
could excuse such a crime Is that of In
sanity, and there Is a growing convic
tion that the form of Insanity which
leads a man to the deliberate execution
of his own children Is not much more
than cowardly desKndeney. Lehman
seems to have been rational enough up
to the time of his crime, although be
was of a morose aud gloomy disposi
tion. His deed was performed probably
in an excess of moodiness and despair,
but it was done consciously and delib
erately. There is but one restraining
Influence which can be put upon the
creatures who are likely to commit
these monstrous crimes. The family
murderer escapes punishment by end
ing his own life, but those who are dis
posed to attempt this sort of crime can
be made to understand that the world
will hold their weakness and their cow
ardice in utter contempt.
A Peddler's Percentage.
An individual called upon a Jeweler
in Montreal, and stated that he bad
managed to accumulate, by hard labor
for a few years, some seventy-five dol
lars; that he wished to invest it In
something whereby he might make
money a little faster, and be had de
cided on taking some of his stock and
peddling it out The Jeweler selected
what be thought would really sell
readily, and the new peddler started on
his trip. He was gone but a few days
when he returned, bought as much
again as before, and started on the
second trip. Again he returned and
greatly Increased his stock. He suc
ceeded so well, and accumulated "so
fast, that the Jeweler one day asked
him what profit the he obtained on
what he sold.
"Well, I put on about 6 per cent."
The Jeweler thought that a very
small profit nd expressed as much.
"Well," said the peddler, "I don't
know as I exactly understand about
yotir per cent, but an article for which
I pay one dollar, I generally sell for
five."
Anti-Flirting I .aw a Failure.
The effort In Virginia to provide by
legislative enactment for the punish
ment of boys flirting with school girl
seems to have been unsuccessful. About
two years ago a law was passed making
It a misdemeanor, punishable upon con
vlctlon by line, for any man to loiter
about a female school. The president
of a prominent Richmond female col
lege was the first to attempt a prosecu
tion under the law. Later a similar at
tempt was made in one of the herder
cities to convict a young man of 49ng
the girls. His counsel, however", pwrnpf
ly gave notice that be would subpoena
all of the lady teachers and many or
the girls and bring tbesa isto court us
witnesses. Rather then ttabject the
ladles to this humiliation the principal
abandoned the prosecution. This line
of defense Indicates the futility of con
riding fllrters under the law, and It
will be repealed. Chicago Inter Ocean.

A prominent real estate dealer says
In the New York Recorder: "1 lielieve
that within the past three years not
less than lO.fmo families have removed
from New York and Brooklyn and

solely on acount of the many tulle of

State under the road Improvement

Rest Time for Hepairine;.
There is hardly a month In the year
when the road machine cannot tie used
to advantage In the road, but spring Is
the lest time to do etIMent work, be
cause the soil Is loose and roots of grass
and weeds do ut Interfere. Every
spring, before the ground tiecomes too
hard, the road should ! gone over thor
oughly with the road machine, the
ditches cleaned out, so that water may
liave a free outlet; ruts and holes filled,
elevations In the road and the shoulders
on the side of the road planed off, the

good condition generally. Country
Roads.
Preserve the Hoads.
The effort to secure wide tires on
heavy wagons In the Interest of better
roads has again been defeated In the
Massachusetts Legislature, which leads
the Springfield Republican to remark:
Some things are tolerated simply be
cause we are so wonted to them. We
shall never maintain good roads until
heavy wagons are regulated so that
when loaded they will not cut the or
dinary roadbed to pieces. If our long
time policy of repairing ronds only to
see them cut Into nits every year were
proposed as an original proposition It
would be rejected as too foolish for
serious consideration. Yet because we
began the wrong way It takes a long
time to bring about the right thing.
But It must come, and the modem agi
tation for better roads ought to hasten
Its advent. Here Is a pointer for w heel
men and all the rest of us who want to
get out of ruts.
Coarse Laughter.
A laugh may be loud and yet not
coarse. It may be vigorous and yet cul
tured, and It may be bass and yet re
fined. There Is no mistaking the coarse
laugh. We feel It to be so, though we
cannot subtlely define wherein the
coarseness exists. We know It makes
a severe demand on the nervous re
sources of both the hearer and the
laughter, and that It does good to neith
er man nor beast. It Is altogether des
titute of the finer and the refining ele
ments of humanity, and so utterly
wanting In natural, melody. It Is more
akin to the noise of the laughing hyena
than to any other articulate sound.
These people repel us by their laugh.
The features, the tone, the sound and
the manner all repel us. We may even
In some cases be anxious to think fa
vorably of the man or woman for we
regret to add that some women, and
those not outcasts, have a coarse laugh
but we find It Impossible to do so.
We Instinctively and with our whole
soul shrink from them. Involuntarily
we turn from them and can have no
faith in them. The laugh was the win
dow through which we saw Into their
soul; It was the open door which re
vealed their heart, and It was the drawn
curtain which laid bare the inner spirit.
We may even sorrow that we heard
him or ber laugh; but we have heard
It, and It is never to be forgotten. We
put a heap of character Into a laugh;
some people (seldom bad ones) seem
ss If they could Infuse their whole soul
Into It The coarse man puts enough
of his coarse nature Into a laugh to
make us turn from him, and make us
always feel uneasy In his society.
Italian Oar Jena.
To have flowers growing in tho
ground all summer is almost an Impos
sibility In Italy. Flowers are merely a
crop, like corn, hemp, or beans; you
must be satisfied with fallow soil when
they are over. I say these things, learn
ed by bitter experience of flowerless
rummers, to explain why Italian flower
gardening mainly takes refuge In pots
from the great ornamented lemon
Jars down to the pots of carnations,
double geraniums, tube rosea, aud Jas
mines on every wall, on every ledge or
wlndow-slll; so much so, In fact that
even the famous sweet liasll, and wUli
It young Lorenzo's head, had to
planted In a pot. Thus the Italian gar
den, like the Moorish one, gradually
became a plnee of greenery and water;
a few hedges of box and cypress ex
haling Its resinous bresth in the sun
shine leading up to the long, flat Tus
can house, with Its tower or pillared
loggia under the roof to take the air
and dry linen; a few quaintly cut trees
set here and there, along with the
twisted mulberry true where the family
araak Its wine and sk Its fruit of an
evening; little grove af llcxet to tb
ba k. (n .'e shade you could sleep
while tde ci.ula buzzed al n.xiii; some
cypresses gathered together Into a
screen. Just to separate the garden
from the olive yanl above; j rl,ii. a
lialustraile et at the end of the bowl
ing green, that you might see, evea
frm a distance, the slilmmery bine
valley below, the pale blue distant hil!.:
and if you had it, some autiijue statue,
not good enough for the courtyard "f
the town bouse, set ou the balustrade
or against the tree; also, where water
was pb-ntiful, a little grotto scooixtd out
under that semicircular screen of cy
presses. A very modest place, but an
attractive one, withal, having its own
peculiar charm.
A Cottage on Wheels.
For over a year a well-known artist
on the staff of a California magazine
has lived, with his wife. In a cottage
on wheels. The original cost of tiie
building a as five hundred dollars, and
Its' owner has already made enough
by the saving in rent and exjtenses to
pay for it. The van is somewhat sim
ilar to those in use by gypsies, but Is
fitted up in much more comfortable
style. It has one room ten feet long,
four and a half feet wide and six feet
three Inches high, and lu this space the
artist and his wife live, eat and sleep.
At one end of the wagon, over the
wheels, is a raised platform, aud here
Is a ocket edition of a cooking stove,
with a collection of shining pots and
pans around It. I'nder the seat of the
wagon Is the housewife's cupboard,
and her table consists of the top of
a big trunk which contain the ward
robe of the pair. The beds consist of
two cushions laid out upon the floor of
the wagon, and the bedding Is stored
In a box under the wagon, reached by
a trap door in Its floor. The whole.
Including two persons, the little stove
and the big trunk, weighs less than
twenty-four hundred Mitinds. ami can
be taken anywhere by two horses.
Last winter the artist made a leisurely
tour of the hills and valleys, sketching
as he went. What an idyllic combina
tion of duty and pleasure tills seems
to the tollers perpetually warring
against their nomadic instincts, but
who must for obvious reasons, re

their days!
Slightly Mixed.
The most recent instances of mixed
metaphors come from Germany. "We
will," cried an lusplred democrat, "burn
all our ships, aud with every sail un
furled, steer boldly out Into rlie ocean
of freedom:" A l'an-'MTinaiilst mayor
of a Khitieland corporation rose still
higher In an address to Die emperor.
He said: "No Austria, no, I'russla,
one only Germany such were the
words the mouth of your imperial maj
esty has always had In its eye." A
learned professor, criticising a liook
of poems, writes: "Out in the dark
regions of philosophical problems the
poet suddenly lets swarms of songs
dive up, carrying far-flashing pearls
of thought in their beaks." Songs and
beaks are certainly related to one an
other, but were never seen In that In
congruous connection before. A Ger
man preacher, speaking of a repentant
girl, said: "She knelt In the temple
of her Interior and prayed fervently"
a feat no India rubber doll could
Imitate. The German parliamentary
oratory of the present day affords many
examples of metaphor mixture; but
one must suffice. Count Frankenberg
Is the author of it A few years ago
he pointed out to his countrymen the
necessity of "seizing the stream of
time by the forelock." But none of
these pearls of thought and expres
sions surpasses the speech of the Im
mortal Joseph Prudhomme on being
presented with a sword of honor by
the company he commanded In the Na
tional Guard of France. "Gentlemen,"
said he, "this sword Is the brightest
day of my lifer
' Portrait Collector.
One of the most lusting of hobbles is
that of portrait collecting. You may
spend a small fortune ou It If you like,
though the expenditure of ten or twen
ty cents a month will bring very satis
factory returns, for many of the por
traits in the Illustrated magazines are
well worth preserving. There Is a
wide variety of choice In portraits.
Historical personages, artists and
painters, singers, great soldiers, wo
men of note and literary celebrities are
always interesting subjects. In mak
ing a portrait scrap-book, pictures hav
ing any salient point or costume should
be dated; they really form as good a
record of changing fashion as some
fashion magazines Just as the novel
Is a better photograph of social cus
toms than Is any written history. The
work of collecting Is very fascinating;
new Ideas develop as It progresses, so
that every scrap-book may hare a char
acter of Its own.
Not In Public Employment.
The origin of the word "private'
when applied to a soldier In the ranks
may be traced to the much earlier use
of the same word applied to civilians,
"a private man or cltixen" that Is, one
not Invested with public office or em
ployment. The epithet being thus ap
plied In common language to any civil
ian not holding office, has. by a slight
extension of mesnlng been used to sig
nify soldiers not holding rank.
Passion Plays.
What are culled "passion" and "mir

the people were very Ignorant; aud
there were no Bibles and no books, for

of religion under great difficulties, and
In their day were useful.
