And is it not a part of the duty of parents to restrain their children from harm, to teach them the difference between rational and irrational enjoyments ¢ There is not the slightest excuse for this deliberate annual cyclone of calamity miscalled “celebrating the glorious Fourth.” It is childish, barbaric, unworthy of the day and of the great, sane, enlightened Agnerican people. The time has come to abolish hoodlumism.

[peered Because the elected officers and agents of the people are unfaithful. Beeause the people are as yet unable to select honest men and to control their public servants. Where is the common sense in any scheme that proposes to give these public servants more opportunities to be unfaithful, more opportunities to steal? Until we can get men in office the reverse of Tee Trust Van Wyeks and Ramapo Whalens and Dirty Street Nagles, we had bet- ter stagger along under the present system. It is only dreamers who fancy that the way to reform a public eer rascal is to give him more and larger chances for rascality. WE ARE FIGHTING THE BOERS.

But for American horses, shipping weekly publics’ are poor and feeble and powerless to show resentment. Who cares for liberty? Let us muke friends with the prosperous of the British aristocracy.

WHY THE HEAT IS SO HARD TO BEAR. , Tf you wish to understand why so many people suffer so acutely from aslight rise in the temperature, look about you at the way the most of us are dressed, Also look into the barrooms and the soda-water shops. The most of us still wear the heavy, dark clothes suitable for a cool climate. And few indeed have the self-control necessary to re- frain from pouring into the stemach the liquids and solids that produce more combustion, more heat, more sweat, more suffering. These errors are aggravated by the habit of talking about the wenther. If one is not very unhappy hy is agreeable to him. To come with a long face and tears and a woeful voice means to ap- peal in the most effective way possible to the vanity of grief—to| the desire to be x tragic figure. But when one is really wretched sounds and symbols of woe are an aggravation, It is hard for the most sensible man to keep reagonably cool when he is surrounded by persons wailing and sweating, and sweat- ing and wailing. sym SHAKESPEARE TAROORD. “Do you think that Shakespeare wrote the plays collected under hia name?” “Well,” answeret Mr. Mee “tT hope for his own sake he didn't.
