Accidents always ve happened and they always will a certain extent under the most careful citcumstances, but the realiza- tien of the benefits which are .to:be gained through caré, and that just much patriotism can be displayed under sane conditions is bound to have its influence. Celebrations are con- tagious and if the popularity of dan- gerous methods can be ellminated a powerful aid in the reform has been sécured. —_—— SUPPRESSING THE ANARCHISTS.

Osten- éd at wealth, the blow which they were preparing was against hu- -fi social order, civilization, &ffair as well as' the whole propaganda deserves to be decried in- heouraged. As the New York says: “The miscreants who the and desirs to may go into their own dens ent to their malignity for of such perverts of reason ' CONSUMER GETS NO BENEFIT. ‘With the importation of a shipment [ of corn from Japan We are told that there need not be alarm, because it is a commodity with which Japan is seldem abundantly supplied and that there ia little danger of it ever get- ting to the point where the land of the mikado can expect to participate in Turnishing this country’s needs in that line. It is a noticeable fact, how- | ever, that this Japanese product brought thé same price as can grown corn. -There was no reduction because it came from across the water. It came in free and it brought Ameri can prices. Such is but another in- stance of the lowering of the tarift bar for the benefit of the people of this country, without any benefit be- ing received. While the desire is and should be, ta, get food as low as possible, it is shown by this shipment of corn, as well as by other goods which have been brought into this country under similar conditions that the removal of the tariff has not resulted to the ben- efit of the comsumer but the Ameri can market has been opened to the foreign business for an increased profit for the shipper or the intermediary handlers. The tariff has not lowered the price. It has not adjusted condi- tions so that the supply equals the | demand, but it has since its operatidn {ruuxma in a_reduction in revenue of 28,000,000. This is the difference be- | tween what would have been collect- | ed under the former revenue basis and what was actually secured, It should represent a saving to the people to that amount, but corn and other deals | show that this goes to the foreign i shippers, DUTY OF THE HOME. The expressions before the conven- | tion of the National Education asso- | ciation relative to the teaching of sex hyglene in the schools coincides with the sentimént' which has prevailed throughout the country. It is not te be supposed that such important du- yties are to be thrust upon the schools ‘with attendant Gangers, when they should be assumed by the home, and the condemnation which such proposal met before the association was entire- ly justified. The growing disposition for the shirking of responsibilities in the home does ¥not deserve to be encouraged. Far greater good can be done by stim- ulating and supporting the standard of influence which the homie should have. It is not to be supposed that such a subject can be tausht to a gathering of young people of varying natures with the beneficial results which are sought. No two natures are alike and the knowledge thereof calis for the presentation of sex hygiene in a manner which will receive rever- ential consideration. Such can best be done in the home for as Dr. Keene 6aid: “We should have but the strong- est condemnation of the wealthy club- going woman who .has not time to teach her child the fundamental trutha of life and would throw the respon- sibility upon a teacher or a football coach.” There seems to be no division upon the point that it is a matter which should be taught, but it should be taught wisely if it is going to do more good than harm, and such must be the aim.

A quick temper is not hereditary, accord- ing to the bést authorities. The heathen knew thousands of years ago that “an- ger begins in folly and ends in u:ent- ance,” instead of beginning pren: 1y and ending with death. The chief oc- cupation of a quick tempered person is patting reason out of doors, and doh tLings hastily which better be delayed. Ic is no more complimentary {o one's self to ask to be excused because quick tempered than because foolish. A quick temper always harms the pos- sessor worse than it does the enemy. Temper is the one thing which 1s better for being slow, for then there will be much less to regret or to be repentant of. Those who ha%e a quick temper have a slow perception of its handi- capping force. It is a weakness akin te vice, a mental hornet, a phase of insanity. As an inheritance it would not be worth mentioning and as a fault it is always am increaser of shame. . | heard a citizen saying the other day: “T do not believe there waa ever a year like this before.” I have heard this said a score of times about years unlike this. I do not suppose there are any duplicates in years. If there are they are harder to locate than dupli- cates in snowflakes or raindrops, of ‘which there are thousands of varieties. There. was a time when the year ex- ceeded 18 months by a few days and now it exceeds 12 months by a few hours. Those old-fashioned years were not the vears of Methuselah, for some insist that they only\ represented moons. Those long years counted for youth, for a man of those days at 48 had passed -about as much time on earth as we moderners of 70; and they had either two wigters or two summers in a year. ears of ours are a distant past; and we do not care ifthere was never a year like this one for what is the use of having years alike? Variety is the spice of life. Some folks werry because others have so many troubles, and they have none of their own. It doesn’t take much to found the worrying habit upon. A well concentrated mind finds no occasion to worry. The uncertain- tles of life are things to overcome not to live in fear of. There is no merit in fretfulness, for it is and always hog been a disturber of the peace. Never let what may befall you harrass you. Just work for a purpose with resolu- | tion to win. It is always wise to an- ticipate suceess rather than failure. Few succeed who fear they will fail Worry is the result of a negative con- dition of the mind. Lack of orderly thought is the source of all kinds of worriment and fretfuiness. There is a vast difference between letting things happen and making them happen. It is better to be a force than a victim. It is a waste of neryous energy to fret; and the same amount of energy, re- member may produce a song, or & soverelgn. - * High finance seems to be a respecta- ble name for low dealing.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK CHASING THE RAINBOW. According to an old and pleasant legend, a pot of gold is to be found at the end of the rainbow. It is prob- able that, since time began, sundry simple-minded folk and children have diligently sought for treasure at a spot where the shining arch seems to touch the earth. We smile at the fancy even while we ourselves may be cherishing one equally childish. Plenty of worldly- wise folk thore are who simply re- verse the process and, obtaining the peot of gald, expect it to lead them to the rainbow. Along the line of this quest no les: than of the first disappointment may easily lie. The pot of gold is not cer- tain to have a rainbow attachment Money by no means always bathes life in rosy colors. Cash is riot an absolute guarantee of comfort. It is a matter on which about elght people cut of ten in this rushing world need to be set right. Money is con- fessedly so desirable a possession that its limitaticns are 'often overlooked. We expect of it more than it has the power to give. In plain fact what money sives is not power to be happy, but rather power to obtain certain.articles that are generally supposed to contribute to happiness. Very often:they do so contribute, but by no means always. They may minister merely to care and sorrow. Since most of us must remain u taught by personal experience it is| competent at least to hear testimony | on the point. Li Hung Chang, tha richest man in the Chineése empire, wrote some memoirs in which he ra- marked. *J remember whea I was a youth at Lou Chow that riches and promotions seemed as very gifts of the celestial regions. found that neither great wealth, nor distinguished decorations, nor both put together, will guarantee a man against unrest of mind or turmoll of soul.

They know only one side: they imagine the other. I have lived both, and I know that there is very little in wealth that can add to human happiness beyond the small comforts of life, Millionaries who laugh are very rare. My experience is that wealth is apt to take the smiles away.” Millions have found the rainbow without the aid of any pot of gold. The peor in’ spirit, and in material possessions too, have ever been able 1o enter the kingdom' of heaven. St. Paul, Socrates, St. Francis of Assisi, John Wesley, Willlam Booth, and a host beside, have lived as poor men, but with a richness and a spl¢ndor of experience that fordbids our thinking of them as in any sense poverty stricken.
