If anybody had asked Paul the Apos tle what he considered tin "three es sentials" of a home he would proba bly have recommended his usual for mula, 'faith, hope and charity." Put Paul was not a married man. There is a lieutenant In the Cerman frmy who has fought eight duels and preparing to do some more cballeng hg "for Hie sake of bis family's hon or." There must be something pretty lluiky about family li r which has o be protected as bald as that. At Bayotine, N. J., the other day a man was lined $lo for trying to stop e family quarrel, the magistrate in Jformlttg him that the tine was iid.nln- Ktered "to discouiage butting In." A fetter excuse mlbt have been found In the old saying that "it fool ami his money are noon parted." The clerk who stands long hours be hind the counter in the retail store ionics Into coutuct with some eculiar aspects of human nature. "I want to see your fifty cent mittens," asked a customer. Hie clerk showed the en tire stock. "Oil, but I wanted them with fingers." The clerk straightway fulled down all the varieties which he Lad of that description. "But this is not right." continued t.ie troublesome customer. "These are gloves; they ure not mittens at all." The wearied clerk, who vouches for the truth of the story, Inwardly rejoices that all his custom ers are not like this one. In this age of special Investigations there ahou.d be a thorough Inquiry Into our system of railroading, to see If It la not possible greatly to lessen the number of accidents. The wreck near Conuellsvllle recently would coin pare in dcHtructlvcness with a small liattle. Certainly the loss of sixty nine lives in a Hlngle engagement would attract serious attention. Tim occurrence of several "accidents" that nilght have been avoided If due enre fiad been exercised has led more than tone person to remark that the oicrn tlon of American railways leaves much to be desired In the wny of safety. The preacher who seeks to shine In ratory, scientific accuracy and histori cal learning puts himself on perilous ground where some of his hrirers UHy nave hltn at a disadvantage. If he fhoosea the appeal to the affections tnd the conscience, he Is In his own undisputed province. Similar Is the danger in attacking so-cHlled evils. iilany preacher has forever destroyed lis usefulness with some of his parish oner by dipping Into local political or mslnesa questions. The man or wom an who has been hurt by bitter words from the pulpit can hardly be reached by appeals from that pulpit, and the ii rest way to reform the world Is not to drive the sinner from hla sin, but to lead him kindly to righteousness. With American wagons ordered for war service by the Czar of all the Hus ilas, American flour girdling the world, and American" cotton, machin ery and manufacture of all kind known far and near beyond our ior flera, it sounds a If we were doing all the International selling. Instead, we are one of the greatest buyers among the nntlons, and our markets are everywhere. We buy beeswax from Cuba and onions from Hermuda, as well as from Kngland, Spain. Ma y, Kveat Indle. Cannda and Mexico. And thl In spite of the thousands of acres set out to onions In the United States averr roar. AS for cnecae, ii hioiib come to us from twenty-one countries. And then there are eggs. Why, China alone bad to help us nut with eighty thousand dosen, and we had to call on Canada. Mexico, Japan. England and France beside.

We generally suppose that, except for the 1r,ce, most think Hiat we eat are homegrown, hut I'nde Sain' records tell quite an other story. j We proudly call ourelve a free ' people.

We gov ' crn ourselves, we way. and that means, Interpreted In the light of actual fact, , that we are not governed at all. It Is no exaggeration to say that the peo iple of the I'nited States have more law and less order than any other peo ple on earth. The Chicago theater dis i aster, for instance, has developed the fai t that hardly a single theater build ing in the whole country Is built in conformity with the laws for safety.

They do not in any sense do the iiiipil's work, but show bi n how to do it for himself, bow to con cent rate the mind, how to study. The Journal of Pedagogy unreservedly approves-the plan thus: "A rather wid; observation of public school condition-; jtiKtities us in saying that there may be seen In P.atavia a healthier, lum pier, more industrious body of teach ers and pupils than ure to be found In iHiy f.tle-r public school system iu America The first Impression one get i Is that of an abounding physical and Intellectual life. Although the teach ers and pupils work as hard in Hit; P.atavia schools as elsewhere, there is no complaint about overwork and nervousness, and there Is trustworthy evidence that the health of the pupil -t entering school in a physleta! condition below the normal .has shown a de cided change for the better." Of course the system Is not new, except to the public schools of this country. The private tutor in Itritlsh Institu tions Is as old as the educational sys tem there, and the ollb'e Is funda mental In continental education. Its accidental application to the public schools seems to have worked wonder fully well. It Is worth thinking about What Htm Keti(nizel. People like to be told what they al ready know, to hear about old friends and old Interests. Absolutely new In formation has nothing in the mind to hitcS to. This story from the "Memo rles of a Child" Is an Illustration: Once, probably before the child' school days began, somebody took her to a school commencement, and a gen tleiuan made a long, long address, to which the child listened with respect ful attention. The general sound of the words was familiar to her, and she was hardly aware of the fact that she did not at all understand. But all at once he said something about a pink sash, and the child looked around at the person who had brought her and laughed delightedly. She knew what a pink sash was, and she knew he was saying that girls liked to wear pink sashes; and, oh, how re freshing It was! Then and there the child decided that It was a very nice speech.

LONDON. Ac eitraordlnary scene disturbed tee customary decorum of the house of iords this evening. In recent debate in the bouse of comtuons Premiif Halfour had used the woid "ca!umiy" with reference to some statemert made by Lord Ros-bery in the fiscal controversy. When the bouse nf lords met today, Lord Ros-tbery aked Lorl Lans rjowne, the forelgj secretaiy, what Justirication eiis'.ed for the pre mier's use of such a word. Lord Lansdowoe, proceeded to ex plain the circumstances. He admit ted the premier had used the word in the heat of debate. He said I e thought the circumstances justified s ime warmth on the part of the premier, but that he had consul ed with Mr. l'.alfuur, who told him that be did not desire to impuie to Lotd l.osebery a deliberate attempt to misrepresent him. After Lansdowne had Unisbed Lord Rosebery aain rose, and de claring the explanation had t.ot hen sitisfactory, tie fiercely attack d the premier, whom he accused i f being too "thin skinned," aadintf.
