PANORAMA
SCULPTOR OF THE CIVIL WAR.
John Rogers’ Works at One Time Had
Great Popularity.
The death of John Rogers, sculptor,
calls to mind a striking personage
who came into sudden notice during
the civil war through the modeling of
groups illustrative of army and typi
c.-al American life. Small plaster re
plicas of these were seen in thotf rads
of homes the length of the lan<T*Jic-p
resenting to their possessors the very
height of artistic achievement and
evoking a sentiment that was most
strongly felt at the time. Rogers was
In early life a machinist, and it was
while working in the railroad shops
in Hannibal, Mo., whither he bad gone
from New England, that bis mind was
directed to the channel that a little
labor later on gave expression to
these popular ideas. He went to
Rome and observed works of art, re
turned, and went to Chicago as a sur
veyor, having determined that he had
no special taste for classic art. But
the opening of the rebellion gave an
impetus to his apparent natural bent,
and, leaving there, he began the series
of groups which at one time were the
most popular works of art in the*
United States. Of these may be re
called the “Slave Mart,” the "Wound
ed Scout,” the “Sharpshooter,” the
"Council of War,” "Mail Day,” “Camp
Fire,” "Charity Patient," and others of
the same general style. The last
group in recent years was "Football.”
Still few knew of this. It was his
wartime subjects that most impressed
their sculptor's name on the public
mind.
ADMIRAL TAYLOR IN ARLINGTON
Naval Hero Buried With the Honor*
of His Rank.
Tne remains of Rear Admiral Hen
ry C. Taylor, late chief of the bureau
of navigation and the hero of two
wars, were interred at the national
cemetery at Arlington, where full mil
itary honors were provided. The
flags over the navy and army depart

respect. At the military funeral, to

Rear Admiral Rodgers, commandant
of the New York navy yard, were the
honorary pallbearers.*
Insists on Gregorian Chants.
There seems to be no way for the
Catholic churches in this country to
escape using the Gregorian chants in
services, no matter how strongly they
may plead to retain the present choir
system. The Vatican is already pre
paring new liturgical choir books,
which may be reprinted by other pub
lishers. This seems to mean that the
plain chant, and no other, is to be the
exclusive music of the church the
world over. The new books will make
simpler and more uniform the church
music than was that contained in the
old liturgical choir books compiled
under the direction of Pope Pius IX
some thirty years ago. In some east
ern cities preparations are being made
to establish Gregorian choirs, youth
ful voices being trained in that direc
tion.
France Would Honor Gen. Porter.

this Is the first time It hay ever been

constitution the acceptance of any

country, even from a republic, re
quires the approval of congress, final
action in the matter will await the
authorization of that body.
Used to Sleeping In the Open.
Rev. W. Bompas, Church of Eng
land bishop of Alaska, went to Winni
peg recently to attend a meeting of
the synod. This was the first time
he had been out of Alaska In thirty
years. On his way he stopped
night In Vancouver, but refused to
sleep In a hotel or private residence.
Instead he wrapped himself in a
blanket and, with his grip for a pillow,
slept soundly on the wharf. During
his long absence from civilization It
has been his custom to sleep where
ever night happened to overtake him.

AS THE WORLD
REVOLVES
JUSTICE TO THE MULE.
Authority Saye He Has Never Known
Them to Kick a Man.
When it is given out on the authori
ty of a quartermaster and commis
sary general—who certainly ought to
be qualified by experience to form an
opinion—that during a lifetime of ob
servation and association with mules
he has never known one to kick a
man or ever met a man who knew
another man who had been kicked by
a mule then it is time to give the pa
tient animal his just dues. Col. George
E. Jenkins is the authority. Now the
old slander should be strangled un
less someone comes along to exhibit
the evidence of collision with the
heels of such an animal. It was Her
man Oelrichs of New York who
avowed that a shark never did nor
ever would attack a man in the wat
er, and he held all doubters of this
theory at bay until it leaked out one
day that an unknown man with one
leg had waited on him and much to
Mr. Oelrich s discomfiture stated that
he had heard of his shark proposition
and wanted to settle the whole thing
right there, for “that ’ere leg,
stranger, w’as bit off by a man eater,
and don’t you forget it. I don’t.”

Pleasant Diocesan Visits.
Rev. Peter Rowe is the Episcopal
bishop of Alaska. His visits to his dio
cese are by no means pleasure out
ings. During his last trip in March he
and his two companions wandered
from the trail and were without food
practically for three days. The route
of the bishop’s visitation covered a
distance of 500 miles through an tin
peopled region. The bishop’s face was
badly frozen and it became necessary
before reaching a settlement to .kill
some of the sledge dogs so as to con
serve the food supply. The Episcopal
development of Alaska, like that of
the other denominations, Is not very
rapid.
New Yorker'* Savage Criticism.
Dr. E. C. Savldge of New York has
been casting his professional eye over
audiences in the Metropolitan opera
house, and this is how he sums them
up, male and female: “Look at the
men—agile, keen, quick of movement,
still In the game of life, of use to
thedr family, age and race. Turn to
their consorts—save a few exceptions
for our chivalry they are obese or
scrawny, hebetudinous or Jerking,
flabby bundles of tissue hanging in
folds; each fold, to the esoteric eye,
full of burnt-out tissue juice, poison
ing the Individual with the ashes of
her own life.”
Singers on Their Vacations.
The Mummer season finds the famous
singers widely scattered among the
European resorts. Ternina is on her
way to Croatia. Calve is at her French
chateau in Aveyron, Sembrich is in
Dresden, Karnes is in Spain and Lilt
l^hraan Is in Salzburg. Nordica is
satisfied with the United States, for
a while at least, but will go to Paris
In the fall. Qf all this group Calve is
the one who most admires riding in an
automobile. She travels as much as
possible in Europe In one of these
vehicles, which must be about as bad
for her voice as anything one can
imagine.
Planning for Kosciusko 8tstuo.
The secretary of war and congres
sional committee appointed for the
purpose expect soon to take up the
matter of erecting the statue of Kos
ciusko, which is to adorn one of the
corners of l^fayette square, opposite
the white house. Just before its close
congress passed a resolution author
izing the acceptance of a statue to
be erected at the expense of the Pol
ish-American citizens of the United
States. Theodore M. Helinskl is pres
ident of the oentral committee of
Polish organizations.
Worry Over Rubber 8upply.
Automobile makers are beginning to
worry already over a possible substi
tute for rubber fos tires. It Is claimed
that the demand for this material has
rapidly Increased in the last few
years, the importations into the United
States alone the laBt year being over
$9,000,000 over those of 1903. This
means, it Is said, that rubber trees are
being overtaxed and that there is dan
ger of their dying out. The consump
tion of rubber for vehicle tires Is phe
nomenal in its magnitude.

AERIAL WARSHIP IN DEMAND.
Prohibition at to Its Use Has Been
Removed.
John P. Holland’s aerial warship
would come in very handily now if it
would work as he says it will, as now
any nation engaged in war may in
dulge in the pleasing pastime of drop
ping dynamite, nitroglycerin, pyroxy
lin or any other nimble and deadly ex
plosive upon its enemy’s armies or
fortifications—providing the airship
will do its part of the work. At The
Hague conference in 1899 an inter
national proscription was placed upon
the use of balloons for the dropping
of explosives, but this agreement has
expired by limitation, and hereafter
these agents may be employed freely.
It was a United States army officer,
Capt. Crozier, who suggested the five
year limit which w’as adopted. It is
noteworthy that Just at the moment of
*he removal of the restriction two na
tions should be at the very apex of
their endeavor to annihilate each
other. Both sides will no doubt wel
come the return to the old order,
which permits them to make war more
deadly than ever can cannon and small
arms. Japan, there Is reason to be
lieve, is provided with balloon tor
pedoes. As she demonstrated the
practicability of the submarine, she
may show to the world the value of
the aerial method of warfare.
CHOSEN AS SUPREME RANGER.
R. C. Sherrard of Chicago Honored
by Foreater*’ Order.
R. C. Sherrard of Chicago was elect
ed supreme ranger of the United Or
der of Foresters, at the society’s con
vention in St. Louis, the office being
the highest in the important and ex
tensive organization of Foresters. Mr.
Sherrard has been for eight years
harbor inspector of Chicago. For
four years his position in the society
of Foresters has been that of high
ranger and state organizer for Illinois.
The St. Louts convention was attend
ed by over 1,000 members of the so
ciety, the delegates in convention
numbering 150. Judge James Schoon
maker of St Paul, judge of the superi

that of supreme ranger, to which
Mr. Sherrard was elected.
EFFECT OF DISMAL WEATHER.
Lowers the Moral Tone of Many
Human Beings.
Thomas A. McQualde, superintend
ent of detectives in PittBburg, has
long held the idea that depressing
weather has a decided effect on the
moral tone of human beings. Many,
he says, are unable to work during
the periods of low barometer and es
pecially on sticky, rainy days. On
such occasions he has remarked men
walking the streets who are on the
verge of Insanity. Time and again
he has made It his business to watch
people who are on the streets on
such days and discovered for the time
being they are entirely irresponsible.
In many people, he says, the animal
passions are aroused to such a degree
that they are unable to continue their
work. They wander about the streets
In a dazed condition, often requiring
constant watching, so that they will
do no harm to themselves or to oth
ers.
Appendix Vermiform!*.
It has remained for a Memphis,
Tenn., surgeon, Dr. Alfred Moore to
unmask the dreaded appendix verml
formis that has so long wrought havoc
with the human race. This strange
survival has long baffled science as to
Its origin and its function, but the Ten
nessee doctor after much thought
works out the problem, Illustrated with
extraordinary Illustrations, in the New
York Medical Record. Minus the pic
tures, the surgeon’s conclusion is that
the appendix was "the distal end of a
tube that led from the vitellus to the
lower part of the embryo.” That s all
—Just the "distal end of a tube.”
Mankind may now breathe easier. It
is not so terrible after all.
Women Would Be Stock Brokers.
A number of New York women
have set themselves the task of se
curing admission to the floor of the
stock exchange. It is not so much
their purpose to try their hands at
the bulls and bears in an endeavor to
increase their already large bank
rolls as to elevate the tone of the
exchange and by their presence lend
to it a refining influence. This idea
is the result of the recent announce
ment that a woman ha3 applied for
membership on the Dublin stock ex
change.
Ethics of Summer Boarders.
Preachers In Stroudsburg, Pa., arc
taking the summer boarder question
by tbo horns, so to speak. One ot
tnem preached 8unday evening on
"Are Summer Boarders and Visitors
a Help or a Hindrance to This Coun
ty?” Ho took occasion to say that
these guests were welcome, of course,
but they were expected to behave
themselves while taking their outings.
Evidently Stroudsburg has had an ele
ment of vacationists that has painted
the town gayly.

WHEN SHALL WE LEARN?
Experience is a teacher, we are pro
verbially informed, whose school is
dear and supported by those who lack
intelligence to learn in any other.
Some months ago we were stirred
! deeply by the slaughter by fire of hun
dreds of women and children in Chi
cago. Cause—corruption and indiffer
ence in the management and over
sight of theaters. For the last few
weeks w-e have been talking about
the slaughter by fire of hundreds of
women and ohildren in New York.
Cause—corruption and indifference in
the management and oversight of
steamboats. The theaters were some
what improved, temporarily at least.
The steamboats may also be tempor
arily improved. We do not know. It
: is doubtful, to say the least. For
! back of it all lies a vast indifference.
We Americans take the chances. We
accept grade crossings, reckless auto
mobiles, firetrap hotels, buildings
which fall dow'n, steamers and thea
j ters and railway trains exposed to
i fire. New York Central tunnels, any
i thing, everything, in the way of need
| less danger, just as we accept polit
| ical corruption in general, because
we simply do not care. We would
rather not make an effort or a fuss,
or lose our time. We tried to get
through congress a law making ship
owners pecuniarily liable for lives de
stroyed. The ship owners interfered,
congress was obedient, and the peo
ple lay down and forgot. We tried
j to get through congress a law for
| more stringent inspection of steam
boats, and it was killed with the plea
of economy. l>et us eat, drink and
be merry, for to-morrow we may burn
; up ourselves.—Collier's Weekly.

CONTENT AND HASTE IN WORK.
President Charles \V. Eliot says in
the July World’s Work that the prin
;ipal sources of satisfaction and con
tent in daily work are the active ex
»rcise of one's powers; achievement,
cr the getting well done something
worth doing; harmonious co-operative
j effort, putting mind into work or using
judgment and skill, successfully en
i countering risk, making adventures
i and mastering novelty and variety.
It is, unquestionably, easy to have
all satisfaction in daily work de
stroyed by the imposition of condi
tions which make satisfaction impos
sible. If labor is pressed beyond tne
limits of strength and health, content
I tu it is impossible. Any overwork de
j strays the physical basis of satisfac- j
tion in toil. If the hours of labor are
| exaggerated, so that, reasonable time
I for meals, family life; recreation and
■sleep is not to be had ,the due satis
faction in toil will not be realized. The
conditions of modern urban life tend
to develop in the American population
an unreasonable haste and stress in
both work and play. This haste and
; stress are quite as highly developed i
■in the higher employments as in the I
lower; and, relatively to numbers, j
overwork now prevails in the higher
employments more than in the lower,
probably because there is more and
keener pleasure in them, and they
j are, therefore, more liable to be pur
sued with an inordinate zeal.
A POPE'S DEMOCRACY.
—
The Papacy loves precedents, and
; Pius X. has been vastly gratified by a
statement put into his hands by one
of his librarians that Pope Sixtus V..
of old time, had a sister who. very
finely dressed, was brought to her '
brother by the cardinals. Thereupon
the pontiff affected not to know her.
She was therefore hurried out of his
presence. "The cardinals," says the
record, “led her out of the palace and
had her dressed in her usual clothes—
those of a washwoman.” Then she
returned and the pope, “advanced
from his throne, embraced her and
called her his dear sister." Pius X.
has now a quotation ready for those
who criticise the present dress of his
sisters.—London Chronicle.
BLUNDER OF THE RICH MAN.
It is a bail blunder for the rich men
to try to shirk their civic duties. It
creates prejudice against them. They
may not care for that, but it is a mat
ter of serious care to them whether
or not the law is upheld. Without
law their vast property interests
would be worth nothing. The more
the people respect the law the better
it will be for the property owners, and
if for no higher and nobler reason it
is clearly in the material interest of
the rich that law an dorder shall pre
vail and It is therefore in their inter
est to discharge their civic duties
with faithfulness and with willingness
and to respond cheerfully to the de
mands of the state authorities.—Rich
mond (Va.) Times-Dispatch.
DANGER IN TOO MUCH HURRY.
It is charged that while only trained,
high grade men can operate trains
that are not fully equipped with all
the latest improvements, the installa
tion of these improvements is often
used as an excuse for employing in
ferior men. thus off-setting any meas
ure of safety that might have been
added by the improved equipment.
The public, after all. is to blame.
Every man, of course, regrets the loss
of life in railway accidents and is .
ready to censure the managers for
running trains at too high a rate of
speed, but when he starts on a trip
lie wants the speed limit removed.
The nation is in a hurry and the rail
roati company that proposed to lessen
the speed of trains for the express
purpose of reducing the chances of
accidents would promptly be ridiculed
as an old fogy outfit and its business
would go to Its rival.—Washington
Post.
Every man ought carefully to fol
low out his peculiar character, pro
vided it is only peculiar, and cot vi
cious.—Cicero.

ENGLISH IN JAPAN.
Until forty years ago an English
book was practically unknown in i
Japan, the only foreign literature
studied was the Chinese, and the first
language to be taught in the schools j
was the Dutch.
Now, while English is the most com
mon among the people, and is studied
by all high school pupils, German and j
French are favored generally by
scholars and physicians. There is a
foreign language school in Tokyo, ;
where almost all languages are taught, j
and, curiously enough, Russian is the ;
favorite.
The study of English literature in
Japan is represented by Prof. Yuzo
Tsu Chouchi, who has translated into
Japanese some of Shakespeare’s plays
—“Othello,” “Macbeth,” and “The !
Merchant of Venice.”
The most widely known English
writer in Japan is Carlyle. All stu
dents of English literature in Japan
read his works. Next to Carlyle comes !
Macaulay, and the new Hanyaku, or
translation style, was practically cre
ated by borrowing his language by the
Minyushamen .a literary hand in
Tokyo. Emerson is greatly admired,
and his w ritings have influenced many
notable Japanese journalists to-day.
Mill and Herbert Spencer have also I
influenced the thought of modern
Japan.
Tennyson. Longfellow. Wordsworth,
Byron and Milton are the most popu
lar poets, and in fiction Irving, Thack
eray, and Dickens are the best know-n.
Bellamy’s “Looking Backward” has
been recently translated into Japan
ese.—Chicago Journal.
DISREGARD OF HUMAN LIFE.
The widespread condition of danger
to human life in the appliances of our
eager and hurrying civilization can
only be due to k certain carelessness,
a lack of earnest attention to the
safety of the Community. Partly, no
doubt, it is due to too much eagerness
to save expense and make the greater
profit, even at the risk of occasional
unnecessary losses. Corporations,
capitalists, contractors and builders
need to be held to stricter require
ments and lawmakers and officials
need to be held to a higher responsi
bility; but it all depends in the last
analysis upon the state of the public
mind and the spirit of the people.
There is where a higher regard for
life and care for the general security
needs to be cultivated.—New York
Journal of Commerce.
JAPANESE HUMANITY.
Without a single white man to ad
vise or control, with few war cor- j
respondents to comment or criticise,
the Japanese are keeping up in this
campaign as high a standard of hu
manity and kindness to their foes as
any civilized power in the world.
Prisoners who have escaped “speak
in enthusiastic terms of the manner
in which the Japanese treat the Rus
sian wounded. The Japanese army
doctors, it seems, are splendid, and
they personally saw to the comfort
of all the Russian wounded.” Civi
lized man is an incarnate paradox.
Having called to his assistance all
the highest talents in one depart
merit of science to provide the most
awful and barbarous instruments for
destroying his fellow-man, he sum
mens with the same breath the mas
ters of another science to undo as far
as possible the inevitable conse
quences of the use of shot and shell,
torpedoes and submarines and all the
other deadly machines of modern
warfare. looked at from one aspect,
war is the negation of all humanity;
regarded from another, it evokes hu
manity's loftiest products.—London
Telegraph.
WORK THAT SHORTENS LIFE.
Metal polishers are said to become
disabled In about seven years. For
that reason they command high
wages. Most of them die of con
sumption. The stonecutter's life is a
little longer, but death comes to him
in the same way. Workers in trenches »
and sewers, street-cleaners, canal-dig
gers, workers in caissons, tunnels, in
compressed air, bridge builders and
railroad laborers are short lived. The
tunnel under the North river cost
more than a score of lives by acci
dents besides permanently impairing
the health and shortening the lives
of unknown scores. Building of the
New York and Brooklyn bridges was
very fatal to human life. An engineer
told me that they kept the facts out
of the newspapers as much as possi
ble. All great works of engineering
are prosecuted at. an expense of hu
man life and health—Health Culture.
STILL EAT MUCH MEAT.
Despite the vogue of the health fooil,
the number of beasts slain for food
has never been so great as now. The
butcher shops have been thronged,
notwithstanding ail done by the pack
ing combine toward checking the de
mand. Vegetarianism has thus lan
guished. The old and often used ex
amples that the Greeks who fought
at Thermopylae and the athlete who
won the Marathon race ate only lentils
have lost their potency through too
great familiarity.—New York Globe.
AMERICA’S RIVALRY OF EUROPE
