Mayor Gaynor of New York struck the popular chord when he sald he enjoyed firecrackers now as much as when a boy and that he enjored seeing the boys celebrate. The dangerous explosives sold to chil- dren and the disorder which a part of the community indulges in, Is the cause of most of the fatalities and ¢ ualties which & century after the bat- tle of Bunker Hill exceed the fatali- ties and casualties of that famous bat- tle every year. A sane and safe Fourth is simply a rational and orderly celebration of the déay. The entertainment of the people is a simple way to better things, In 2 numher of cities wholesome modes of celebration are already being plan- med. Pittsburg is to have a series of historical pageants, re-enactin scenes from the Braddock campaign; Washington, Worcester and Cleveland are taking steps in a ltke direction. It is not too early to consider the matier, and a careful consideration of the subject is better than the sudden romulgatiton of radical orders re- ardless of their effect upon the res- a few weeks preceding the an- 1. 101, 1905, average February 12... careful inquiry appears to be a most commendable method of Procedre. A HALF-MILLION A YEAR. has been favorably reported in congress providing for the appro- priation of not over half a million & year for the purchase of property in forelgn ports for the use of American ambessadors. A movement of this kind is in keeping with tbe wealth and dignity of the nation and would put this country on the level with oth- er world-power nations. ¢ It is & notorfous fact that the rental ©of an embassy bullding constitutes the largest item In the drain on the am- bassador’s purse. Even If this were not 50, America owes it to her repre- sentatives to provide for them homes equal to those which other countries provide for their own representatives at Washington. The purchase of em- bassy buildings will go far toward solving one of the vexatious problems of foreign ambassadorships and of si- lemcing a complaint which is not with- out conalderable reason. BEGAN ON BORROWED MONEY, Andrew Carnegle. who has distribut- o8 in benevolence rising §150,000,000 in the past twenty vears, began life in America on $40 a month. and was not able to save monev enough to gratify ts ambitions, so, depending upon his ncter and industrial habits he ap- ed his emplover for a loan. “All . Andy,” sald this amazingly easy person. “you're a good boy and I guess T can let you have it” “Andy” agreed to pay back the loan &t the rate of twenty dollars a month; which: left him exactly twenty dollars a month to live on; and this money he invested in slseping-car stock, and in a few years his borrowed hundreds had become 310.000. It is not reported that An- drew Carnegle was ever afterwards short of funds; and while the world does not know what Mr. Carnegie did for his old-fashioned boss—workmen and bosses were nearer together then than they be today. It is true that he has helped many other young men on the road to <wealth, several of whom » Become multi-millionaires. . Carnegle feels rather proud to K thet he had as his starter a s whose confidence he commanded, and while he does not disclose his identity there is a deep Interest in the man who did #0 much more for the human race than he ever drgamed himself capable of doins. As a con- temporary remarks: “Everybody knows who should be acclaimed for giving the Carnegie young men their starts.

SUPPORTING THE HOG. An eccentric observer has no doubt | that the high cost of living to man is the unnatural and ungovernable appe- tite he carries ‘round with him. He states the case like this: “A man eats enough food in three minutes to kéep his body machinery running for half a day. The rest of the food that he takes aboard in the half-hour that he spends at the table goes to satis- fy the hog within him. It is what the hog demands, not what the man needs, that makes living o costly. The poor man works hard all day in order to earn enough to satisfy the cravings of the hog. If he would do without his two or three pounds of beefsteak for supper and yould slowly and thor- oughly masticate four or five English walnuts instead, he would sleep well and wake clear-headed for the next day’s work, and he would have money to send his children to dancing school.” This is ohe way of looking at the situation and solving the problem, The gourmand is more numerous - than we think, and excessive eating doubt- less wastes 30 per cent. of the llving expenses. During present hard times a good many people may learn how to live better for less money and save the surplus. THE DIFFERENCE IN SPIRIT. ‘The tolerant spirit of the north has always stood out In strong contrast with the conduct of the south and the prospect is that it ever will The country has recently passed a Lee and a Lincoin anniversary and while the papers in most parts of the country spoke appreciatively of the excellent qualities of General Lee, the southern papers had very little to say &bout Abraham Lincoln, and the animus of What the few cditors did say was far from creditable to them. The Charles- ton News and Courler remarks of Abraham Lincaln . that “barring his politics and his - political ~ associates and his political errors,” he was “one of the ablest and finest men the coun- try has ever had.” This is the one symptom which shows to the citizens in all other parts of the country what the matter with the south is, and why it attracts leas immigrants and is being developed slower than other parts of the eoun- try which climatically are very in- ferfor. It is not strange that a Boston editor, commenting upon this dig at Lincoin, sald: “These words express thé northern estimate of Robert E. Lee, who is to the south what Lincoln is to the north, for they constitute a generalization applicable to many men of many parties.” EDITORIAL NOTES.

Get a little song into your heart, and youw'll have joy when others suffer from depression. My own heart began to sing one day long, long aso: “He who best serves his fellow-man best serves God.” And these true words seem to me to have a mighty rythm. | It is these little truths which give cheer to the soul. and make one feol toward the Father as the child feels | towara the mother who takes it by the | | hand and so carefully safeguards it trist—fits assuring This is of The simple truth—the simy the finite heart to receive messages from the Infinite, the imagination, you say: and it may be, a blessed imasining. 1 do not know how vou feel, but to me the mishtl- | ness of God is of less account than his fatherliness. A new writer comes to the fore to say that the Don't Worry Clubs do not half fulfil their mission; that there is no sense in*"Don’t Worry;” that success- ful life is made possible by knowing how to worry and when. He declares that worrying over trifies is foolisht and that worrying other people with is perniclous. Set that dewn. Worry, he says, is one of the best forms of expression of dissatis- faction; and the first incentive to im- provement. He just makes worry the handmaid of ambition_and scouts the idea that worrx kills. Worry marks all “hustling ereatures—turtles don’t wor- ry, and that their life of 1,000 years is not worth living.

These legacies of dis- ease and misery are simply an inven- tion of the devil—the haunters of bug- abooed minds.

Hu- man ignorance of causes is a source of much sickness, and a violation of natural laws the cause of much more. Children who live better than their parents did sometimes fare worse. It is said that one of the things a woman cannot understand is why 8 man would rather read the accounts of the ball games than love stories, The: are many men who cannot understand this, either. Aiman who can calmly read all the maledictions of scripture will get excited over the report of an ordinary game of beseball, and who can tell why? He does not know him- self.

Such a distorted taste needs refarming, but it la no easy matter to o it. It is within a week or two that a prizefight was shown to the juveniles of Norwich in a moving picture house, and only a day or two ago, hearing a hubbub In a neighboring backyard, we looked outsto see two 8 years olds re- enacting the conflict of the ring as well as they knew how. There was & hot encounter, and finally the bout was de- clared ended, when a clajmed: “That's no good! Where's the knockout? Bill ought to stayed in until ho was knocked out; then we could have picked him up and fanned him and cheered for Sguint-eyed Susie But it was no use, the juvenile pugil- ists were not equal ta a_satisfactory finish, and those who would have liked to have fanned the defeated and cheer- ed the winner went away disappoint- ed. The family jar Is an unnecessary evil, but it is just as persistent as |t the permanence of the nation depend- ed wpon it. Once in a while we find a family who would think that we were talking about a jardiniere, they are so lpnocent of mairimonial strife, I remember a eouple who upen the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage declared they had never given one an- other a cross look or word, It may have been true, but nobody believed it. and they barely escaped having the doubts of their friends and acquaint- ances expressd in a presentation medal 88 champion lars. That would have been too bad, and, looking back, there is reason to Tejoice that calm reason prevailed and silence was preserved. The family jar sometimes clears the atmosphere like a thunder storm, but the fewer there are of them the better, The man who says that there arc 2,522,666,660 germs in ®very plate of ica cream cannot frighten the uirls from accepting a dish whenever Giod Heart sends one their way.

I take it as_a sign of revolt from the vulgarity of most of the modern novels Which read like the flesh-pots of Egypt—and worse .- | sibly Lecke began it, with his “Heloved | Vagabos Jack Senhouse, Maurice Hewlett's creation, talks to us through | tweo successive novels of the grandeur of ‘“Poverty, Temperance, and Sim- |'plicity,” the delight of being poor, the freedom of the unencumbered life, the slavery to possessions, the weariness !and bamalite of houses and lands and | brewerles and position and preferment and money-madness. “We like,luxury 5o much,” he says, “that we are con- tent to be bound hand and foot by it.” And again, in Tecounting his story. he tells us of “discovering that everything vou bought with money tled you up, more or less, to that thing:; and that the fun you got out of the thing that you bought was as nothing compared to the freedom you lost by getting it." To be sure, not all of vs see our way clear to live in a tilt-cart, and to sleep under a tent of cur own stitching, and to iry our midday rasher by the way- side; but many of us might to advan- tage follow his advice to “Keep to the high-road, and shed our baggage by {degrees.” Ang now ecomes E. V. Lucas |10 warn us that “The crving heed in this country (England), as in America, Zospel of riches that is vitiating so- clety.” A gospel of poverty! How re— freshing it sounds! “Few persons,” remarks a widely- | known teacher, “succeed in doing much more than carrying thelr own welght, |that 1z, supporting the: es and | their ramilies respectably.” I_wonder | how often we remember this. So many are dazzled by the glare and glitter of the noisy rich on the one side, and ap- palled by the misery of the hopele=s poor on the other, and nauseated with the evidences of money-madness on all sides, that I doubt. If we often stop to consider how true it s that few heads of families succeed in laying by much more than the little that may be need- ed for a rainy day. All honor to the fathers and mothers for doing as much as they do. For, the “getting our- sclves existed,” as Carlyle puts it, is by no medns an easy task, while the higher. What we think is best for friend or child they repudiate becuuse they do not sgree. with us, They choose their way and follow it for weal or woe and we cannot help it.

That case regorted in the newspa- pers the other day of a 13 years old | newsboy run over by an automobile prompts this question: “What is a boy worth?’ In this inatance the group of men to whom the parents of the lad referred the matter of compensation | settled upon $300. It is to be hoped that such e pitiably small sum was not intended to measure the full valug of | the youth, but simply to indicate a rough estithate of his earnings for a | covtain period, of which earnings his family is now’ deprived. Any true valuation of a lad must look beyond the knickerbocker period, beyond even school and college days, to the fully developed mon. There was | once "a_philosopher who' was In the habit of | school boy ing off his hat to every use he saw In each a ossible statesman, poet, or person of | distinction in some other realin of hu- man achlevement. So if you w | buylng a boy you would look beyond | his_angularities and roughness to the | polished gentleman he may become. If the nefarious practice of traffc. If flesh and blood had included whites as iwéll as blacks when George Washing- ton and Abraham Lincoln were boys | what would each Tave brought in the | open market? Probably a less sum | than would have been realized in case the purchasers and sellers had fore- scen the brilllant destiny in store for each. Rather than have lost cither lay of millions of dollars. Who knows but that among the boys scampering down our streets today or bending over their school books there (s some bud- ding post whose famfe will eclipse even that of Longfellow or Whittier, some uture discoverer of a cure for ‘cancer who shall rank with him who fou first an anesthetic for bodily pal the nations of the earth to adopt a pol- icy of disarmament, some social re- former who shell devise and carry throush the plan that will put an end to_industrial warfare. Eoys as they spin their tops, as they skate and coast and play bail do not think much of the possibillties wrapped up in them and it is well they do not, for that might make them little prigs. Nor do they througheut their entire boyhood and youth always disport themselves in keeping with the exalted station which some of = ithem come eventually to oeccupy. “We wusualy think of Lincoln and Washington on a dals, their heads encircled with a halo and we forget the long processes of discipline and effort by means of which each came to be “The piliar of @ nation's hope.” We forget, too, that each in youth was far from perfect, that Washington led o somewhat questionable pilaging expedition against the ¥rench, that Lincoln, saturated with Tom Puine’s idoas, omce undertook to prove that there is no God, but Washington lived to become as chivairous as he was val- orous, and Linceln ¢o depend person- aily upon the Creator of this universe and to feol his guiding hand.
