Word comes from Scotland of @ great temperance wave there, not Because of any special agitation but Decause the price of whiskey has gone up. We hear the Scotch are taking less whiskey for their stomach’s sake. There was an increase of the price of whiskes the latter part of April During the first four months of ti year, there was a slight decrease over the preceding year. But from May on, this decrease was more than four times as great as in the earller montl In all the towns of Scotland the de- crease for the whole year was almiost 27 per cent. and In the country 19 per cent. The total convictions for the year were 25,060, as chbmpared with 32,025 in 1905. One of the causes of this gery great decrease was the lack ©f mdney and employment by the un- skilled. But the greatest factor was the increase in the price of whiskey. This is where greed works weil When the distillers want more money the consumers want less whiskey and the result is a betterment of social conditions.

Since it takes a smart native American from ten to fifteen years to compass English in good shape and ‘some never can do it, 50 the master- ful ability of this alien makes us open our eves in surprise. A prince of such marvelous power should be able to ride through the great west in an au- tomobile at a speed of twenty miles an hour and absorb the details of American agriculture as he runs. He Should conquer the gang plow, the steam sowers, harvesters and reapers in a week and return in sixty days to Persia capable of instructing his na- tion in all that makes for success in the great wheat and frult belts of the country. It is more than likely that he will become most celebrated for what he fails to find out. Detective work is always more or s revolting. When virtue catches e it is by playing a shady role old saying that “it takes a rogue to catch a rogue” is just as true as the Scriptural proverb, “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap!” The “white slave” traffic—the burn- ing shame of modern times—is not Tes | crat easy to indict, confront and condemn; but Boston has a man in its tolls against whom the evidence is com- plete, because the Watch and Ward society put one of its young and reli- able girls into the detective service. zirl felt impelled to pass her- if off as a prostitute, to assoclate h moral lepers, to frequent low to make assignations and to to drink the very dregs of without actually doing so.

They were ragged and untidy, and their pretty hair was in ropes and snarls: and in considering their cases 1 began to! perhaps a little I thought they might be fatherless or motheriess, perhaps; or perhaps they Were worse than orphans, because of heme conditions ‘that are degrading: or perhaps their parents were sick or overworked or discouraged, hence they were neglected. As I was perhapsing 1 was surprised to note that perhaps was first cousin to charity and came .of a noble family. Tt did not lead me to @ conclusion, but most likely it kept me from making a wrong one. The mind is benefited if it is thus saved from some things. T i It is fegarded as rather a bad habit to talk to one’s self and alie: some— times regard it as one of the evidences of insanity; but the character of the talk settles that matter. Sane talk even to one's self doesn't sound like the emanations from an insane mind. The poet put it right when he wrote “As I walked by myvself, I talked with myself, and myself said thus unto me, make friends with thyself, be true to thyself, and thyself th: good angel will be!” This is the art of properly addressing one’s self, and the habit is 3 oo habit, when tHus conducted. Trv 1 like the flowers that seif-sow. It is some six years ago that a big sal- mon povpy evolved in the circular bed beneath the hydrangea bush in front of the house and first fascinated me by its beauty, and ever since it has hnpreseed me by its prolific family— its thrift. It is nothing to have 100 plants of it in June, and that does not Tepresent one-half of its progeny. I spare more than I really should per- mit to riot in the garden, but the brightness they add so early tempts me to humor them. I am fond of the flowers, and I like the poet who sang that all the world might sing after him- The kiss of the sun for pardon, the song of the bird for mirth; one is nearer God's heart in a garden, than anywhere else on earth. We find real wit among the children. They are often so cunning in _their falsehoods that they put humor into a lie. A little Australian boy used to stray away from Sunday school and his mother had to be watchful of him, #0 she inspected him always when he came home to detect whether his shirt was on hind-side before or his hair damp from going In Dathing. One Sunday she found everything all right, but the odor of fish was on his hands and mother wanted to know all about It. He knew his mother would be sat- isfied when he told her he had been handling some tracts down at Sunday school that bad Jonah and the whale in them. Another bright boy who was identified by a Sunday school teacher as one of her pupils said: “T dun Mpow but T am, but if T ever wuz in your clags I must surely have been walking in my sleep!” On that basis he was not accepted. _Sopme boys can say things as well as some men. the Eeyptian ques- [ | suppose that it will be admitted that some of the so-called sacred hymns are a false pretence, for there is nothing sacred about them, since they are mostly nonsense. I rather like that homely bld hymmn, “On Jor- dan’s stormy banks I stand and cast a wistful eve, to Canaan's fair and happy land. where my possessions lie” "It makes a poor man feel that he has a little real estate that the tax assessors can’t jack up and that ‘he plumbers can't get a contract on: but I never had an ear or a heart for the song that savs: “Earth is a_desert drear—Heaven is my home!” Earth is full of beauty. and paor indeed is he who has not an eve to perceive it and a heart to enjoy it. There are too many things in sacred songs. so-called, that are not- so. Very few people in America have any use for a coat-of-arms even where they show family honors con- ferred, perhaps, for bravery in scoun- drelly forays where the weak had to give way to the strong. In this age a coat-ofsarms is as uncertain a pos- session as vain persons can pay out good money You have had them offered as certified to, quite likely, at a price varying from $1.50 to $3.00. They are usually artistically and at- tractively gotten up, and they carry a certain amount of family prestige, or false pretence. according to their character. When a man tries to in- duce me to pay out good money for a coat-of-arms, I usually wonder why he didn’t bring forward the old tribal totem: pole, or something like thar. Many things labeled honors in this world are simply disgraces If viewed in the right spirit. What a fascination there is in the plaint of the whippoorwlll as it comes out of the night. Everybody in the rural districts is familiar with the call but how few have really ever seen the bird who rests on the limb of a tr or a lichen-covered rock in the da time and is so like them in color that he is hidden from the average observ. er T do not imagine that this noctur- nal ery is more interesting to man: than the song of the oriole, but it is to me. and its cry of whip-poor-will has been coming out of the night, per- haps, as long as Halley’s comet has been’ coursing the depths of space. How it must have puzzled the Pilgrim Fathers, for they were of an age when weird night sounds started wild imag- inings. tural night bird-calls in this age excite little fear, but rather, like the stars, lend beauty to the night. While working the garden the other day T saw the big honey-spotted skipper of Fabricius resting on a wire fence, showing up his spots of silver with the vanity of a fop. This is a stout-bodied, strong-winged butterfly that the amateurs like to catch. It took about a century of observation to collect ‘the facts so that its life his- tory could be written. The description of 'its_voung was first made in 1797 when Smith and Abbott were collecting in Georgia, but its full life history was not written until 1880; but now we see him sitting on the wire fence and know that he deposits a white egg 04 of an inch in diameter on the wistaria foliage and that under favorable cir cumstances it in four days hatches and its orange-colored brood feeds a full month on the leaves, making little nopies beneath which they hide and rest by drawing over the leaf and holding it down with a film of silk The hotter the weather is the spryer they seem to be, and their long honey tube marks them as visitors of the Zeep-throated flowers that hide their nectar beyond the reach of hees. | was surprised recently to see a hevy of quail walk deliberately acrose a turnpike road in front of an auto- mobile. They did not hurry—it seemed to be a familiar sight to them. They are a calmer bird than the grouse. which rises with a boom and a flutter and is away.

One of the commibnest expressions is “I don’t care” It would be better for the world and for the individuals addicted to it, if there were a more sparing and wiser use of the phrase. It is often employed to cover up one's real feelings. Children fall easily into this habit. With a touch of bravado and s streak of defiance they say, when warned, threatened, or exhorted, “I dow't care” They would care tre- mendously were some punishment in- flicted or coveted privilege withheld. Parents and teachers are familiar with this quick little turn of temper om the part of the little people, and wise parents and teachers strive to meet such moods tactfully, firmly and loy- ingly. When a young woman tosses her head and says scornfully, but with 2 kind of semi-quiver in her volce, “I don’t care for him,” the probabilities are that she does and is only seeking to cover up her pique at something which he has done or said by this pro- fession of indifference. Never say “I don’t care” when vou mean the opposite ~Yon may deceive yourself for a while, you may even pull the wool over other people’s eyes. but the real facts will come out in time. Another set of persons say “T don't care” and really mean it. They are actually indifferentsto either the fa- vorable ox adverse judgment of others, to the conmlmonly accepted standards of good behavior, to public sentiment, to the welfare of the poor and the un- fortunate, to large realms of human interest, like literature. art or music, to the cherished convictions on which others are bullding strong and worthy lives. Why should we bellow from the housetops that we have not the slight- est interest in these matters, or to act as if we did not care and glorfed in our indifference? We may thereby Simply be adverilsing our own gnor- ance or unappreciativeness. our low moral standards or incapacity, our lethargy or self-will. Still less creditable to us is It when we make it known that we care not for spiritual things. _There is one quiet sentence in the New Testament which T should not like to have trans- ferred to my tombstone. On its face it is mo stinging condemnation. It simply savs: “And Gallio carcd for none of these things” He was one of the many men whom great Rome had chosen to administer its affairs in its provinces.

Some men profess religion, and oth- ers try to make what religion they have a part of their daily lives. Ev- erybody who subscribes to a creed is not necessarily pious, any more thar everybody who takes the temperance pledge is necessarily a total abstainer.

Nevertheless. as far as he could, he washed his hands of the controversy, and remained an icy pil- lar. of indifference in a sea of strifs the classic example unto this day of him who wraps the mantle of his own self-complacency about him and waves one side all the burning religious is- sues of the day. Can the modern man live in a world which shows in so many particulars continuous influence upon it of ‘the Prophet of Nazareth, can he live in the midst of communities in which or- ganized religion, despite its manifest failings, is still a potent force, and care nothing at all for that which absorbs the devotion of so many of his fellows? This is the “I don’t care” attitude in its most unreasonable and unlovely aspect. THE PARSON. Sir A. Conan Doyle's Story. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once told an amusing story of an illiterate million- aire who gave a wholesale dealer an order for a copy of every Book in all languages treating of any aspect of Napoleon's career.

At a Fire in Mexico. < Tt might be thought that such an exciting thing as a fire would startle the Mexicans out of their habitual in dolence, but such is not the case. The alarm of @ fire at Matamoros, Coa- hulia, Mexico, was given by the dis- charge of numerous pistols and guns and the writer hastened to the scene —thinking, at first, that a battle was raging. After a lang interval—during which the people watched the fire with interest, chattering among themselves meanwhile — there appeared placidly trundling along the road, the Mata- moresan equivalent of a fire engine —a_barrel rolling along the ground, drawn by 2 reluctant burro. A swiv- elpin in each end of the keg per- mitted it to roll freely, and ropes at tached it to the animal. Behind walked the “fire brigade’—a solitary peon, bearing @ bucket. Arrived At the scene of the conflagration, the Wa~ ter in the barrel was poured into buckets and hauled to the roof of an’ adjacent house, whence it was Alung on to the flames. Everybody was sreatly excited; the calmest thing of all wis the fire, which burnt steadily on till there was nothing left to con sume. Then, as the spectacle was over, the people dispersed.
