The railroads have the power of a giant over the prosperity of the people. A conservative policy of Government supervision means only that they will not be ted to use this power like a giant. When conservative super- is conceded and is in operation it will be seen to have been for railroad property, as well as best for the shippers and Any one who runs amok at the railroads is unwise and wdent.

The paper is to put the “What Can the East Teach the West?” and while the writer holds that the beef-fed brain of the Westerner cannot grasp the subtleties of the Orient’s higher mentalify, he endeavors to en- lighten us a little. He deems us to be mainly materialists and thinks that while physical things make much impression on us, the force of the moral and intellectual does not influence us. The thing that strikes is a material manifestation of power. Togo has awakened the West to Oriental power by just such a needed hard physical blow, and Oyama showed that power exists on land as well as sea. These stern physical facts give Baba Bharati a starting point from | which to suggest to the West that there may be other Oriental powers as surprising but not demonstrable to dull Western intel- ligence as the physical blow. This Eastern scholar imagines the West as putting the ques- tion: “Is not our notion of our superiority over Asiatics a fallacy after all?” He sees us in the light of his Oriental training as havin‘g‘ the inferiority of lacking high ideals. We are bent as a people on material gain and on sensuous pleasure. He says the American home shows this, or rather, the prevalent absence of high ideals in home making. He thinks our scientists are the cause of it—they are”teaching materialism. He believes we are going the gait of commercialism and physical grandeur which’ will climb to a certain height and fall, as history has told of such falls for like cause in the past. He regards the moral power of our church as almost nominal. amd he informs us that our missionaries sent out to save the souls of Asiatics are regarded by those they call “heathens” as the big- gest jokes, “being studiously kept unconscious of the fact that if Christian be that Christian does, then the average Hindu or Chinese or Japanese is a born Christian.” A So much for our faults. As for the remedieS, what the East can teach the West is to develop conscience. To do this we must adopt the East’s ideals of life. “First and foremost is the attainment of harmony in the mind’s forces by the daily practice of concentration upon the basic principle of life, love itself. This cannot be induced without the conviction that life has sprung from love.” We are to study the Vedas and learn that this universe is one whole throbbing life. He proceeds to explain that Oriental philosophy which West- erns cannot accept, namely, progress by the individual soul, through the experiences of repeated reincarnations, until a stage of perfec- tion is reached and it is merged in the absolute. He comes closest to Western comprehension when he puts his exalted philosophy this way; that the fatherhood of God argues.the brotherhood, of not merely man, but of all the universe. He reminds us that to the Easterner religion is the very breath of his being, and that the for- mulas of daily conduct he must go through generate a “faith and force of mind which the Westerner well might gnvy.” Two more Ohio bankers are booked for the penitentiary. It would be well for Ohio to build more penitentiaries. The bankers cannot be per- mitted to monopolize the accommodations of such a good institution.—Kan- sas City Journal.

For this, says the Chicago Tribune, — CULTIVATING THE MEMORY ANY persons complain of having a poor memory, and yet that fac- ulty can be developed as easily as can the biceps muscle. Nor is it necessary to go to any professor of memory or to master any elaborate system in order to accomplish this re- sult. One does not have to go to a gymnasium to strengthen the arm or back. Chopping wood or rowing a boat will do it. Similarly, memory may be cultivated by an effort and- amid ordinary pursuits. One man made the Sunday service of his church serve as a memory exer- cise. After the service he would en- deavor to call the numbers of all the hymns sung, the chapters and verses of the lessons, words of the anthem, the text and points of the sermon. This required paying close attention and a conscious effort to impress these things upon his mind. By this and other equally simple means he developed a memory that was absolutely at his command. Famous speakers who have memor- ized their speeches have adopted simple devices to ald them. One noted orator fixed in mind the different points in his speech by first drawing little figures or pictorial representations. If part of his speech had to do with a bridge he would make a little sketch of such a structure, or, if with Cuba or the Phil- ippines, he would sketch a small map of these islands. He could remember these little figures or pictures. When he rose to his feet he could see them in imagination and select them one by one as he proceeded from point to point in the address, not having any note or manuseript by him at all. That was the method best suited to him. Certain persons possess what may be called the bump of location. If they remember a passage in a book they can tell you which side af the page it 18 on and on what part of the page. There are students with that kind of a memory who prepare their recitations by taking a large sheet of paper and writing different parts of the lesson in different places on the paper. They then rely on their sense of location to NOT AN ART CRITIC. She—What do you think of Miss Rouge’s complexion? He—I regret to say I'm no judge f painting. / o i 2 L call to mind whatever they wish to re- member. Again, there are persons who have a keen eye for color. They will make their memoranda on slips of paper of different colors. Then simply calling to mind a particular color will enable them to remember the memorandum as- sociated with that color. Of course, all this is based on what is known as the faculty of association of ideas. But perhaps the most wholesome way in the long run is simply by repetition and effort to fix the thing in the mem- ory directly without tricks of memory or artificlal methods. By memorizing each day one sentence or verse from the best literature the mind will soon have a fine treasury of beautiful thoughts and an enriched vocabulary. For quotation purposes It is neces- sary toremember verbatim, and, though this is the hardest task of memory, it well repays the effort. Once {rained, the memory will be able to recall the exact words of conversations, sermons, and passages in books without having made any conscious effort to commit them.—Philadelphia Inquirer. —_——— TERRIBLE! “My!” exclaimed the good old soul, looking up from her paper, “these college games are getting to be horribly rough.” “What's the matter now?’'asked her husband. “Here's a report in the paper about a Harvard man beating all his rivals with the hammer.”—Philadelphia Press. —————————— Townsend's Cala.

FATHER UPHAM'S ADVICE. When the late Dr. Fredric Upham, fa- miliarly known throughout Southern New | England as “Father” Upham, was pastor of the Matthewson Street Episcopal Church in Providence, R. L, he preached one Sunday morning on the eternal pun- ishment of the wiéked, and as he was known for a rigid orthodox it is safe to say that the sermon was somewhat strong. As he was about to take a train for Boston the next morning a young man approached him in the station, saying: “1 was in your church yesterday morning, Mr. Upham, and heagd that hell fire ser- mon of yours. I want to tell you I don’t believe a word of it. I don’t take any | stock in the idea that a man will go to hell forever for his sins in a short life here.” “8o0 you don’t believe in future punish- ment for sin?"’ asked ‘‘Father” Upham. “Oh, well,” replled the eritic, *“I wouldn't say just that. There may be punishment for some for a time, but the Great Father will bring all in at last.” “Young man,” said “Father” Upham, “I haven’t time to argue with you, as my train Is about to start, but let me give you just a bit of advice. If you don't expect to stay in hell more than a fortnight, just keep out.”—Boston Her- ald. ANSWERS TO QUERIES. MANGE—Subscriber, Livermors, Cal If you have a dog that is troubled with the mange and you care anything for the animal, go to a drug store and the pro- prietor will furnish you one.of the dog remedies that will cure the animal. You will find that less trouble and expense than making up preparations from news- paper recipes. A LETTER—S. A. B, City. The use of “My dear Mr. Brown" at the beginning of a letter is an evidence that the writer is more intimate with the.party addressed than If he wrote “Dear Mr. Brown.” In she a letter, the word “dear” should never | be used except the writer is sincere and really believes that the party addressed is highly &steemed, highly valued, greatly beloved, or precious. ‘‘Dear” and “my dear” are frequently used by writers to utter strangers, and Is in that sense ab- surd. EUCHRE — Subscribe: Salsig, Cal Hoyle uses the word “assist” in his de- | scription of the game of euchre, and de- fines it as follows: ‘‘Assist—If, when your partner deals, and the eldest hand passes, you know by your hand alone, or by comparing it with the deck hand, that you can make three tricks, you may say to him, ‘I assist.’ This is equivalent to ordering up the trump into his hand, for thereupon he discards his poorest card, and the trump card is his to play when he needs it.” PRESERVING ZGGS—C. S, Center- ville, Cal. There are many methods of preserving. eggs, and each method is claimed to be the very best. The follow- ing gives an idea of the simple methods of preserving eggs: ‘‘When newly laid, eggs are almost perfectly full, but the shells are porous, and the watery portion | of their contents begins to evaporate | through the pores the moment they are exposed to the air, so that the eggs be- come lighter every day. To preserve the interior of the egg in its natural state it 18 necessary to seal up the pores of the shell air tight. This may be done by dip- ping the eggs in melted suet or olive oil or milk of lime or &' 'solution of gum- arabic or covering tnem with any air- proof varnish. In other words anything that will exclude the air from the in- terior of the shell will preserve the egg. If eggs are treated as above they should'| be packed In bran, oats, meal, salt, sifted ashes or charcoal powder. eat you up.
