T° FLIGHT over the Alps from Switzerland to Italy by Jean Bielovucci, the Peruvian aviator, has been received by the world without excitement, almost without interest. Yet when Chavez made the venture and came to his death in the moment of success, the feat was a world’s wonder and the death a world’s sor- row. So swiftly in our time does the miracle of yesterday become Whe commonplace of to-day. Not less ewiftly, too, perhaps may come Phe miracle of to-morrow, the long flight over the ocean. “Whe venture is not e dream. Practical men are working at it gwith an energy in which the ardor of adventurous hearts is added to Whe force of ambitions brains. Some are making dirigible balloons; wthers aeroplanes of great size to be driven by engines of extraor- {inary power. Daring men are continually practising the manago- *ment of the various craft and acquiring more and more oontrol of Phemselves as well as of the machines. So they approach every day | mearer to the time when some one will feel sure enough to make ‘the Wash for the great adventure. Imagination of victory inspires them and death on the enterprise appears to them as a glory rather than ‘BD grief. The first thing Bielovucci did after releasing himself from he shouting multitude that hailed his descent after over flying tho (Alps was to go and cover with flowers the tomb of Chavez, What ‘honor will be téo great for him that first crosses the Atlantic through the air? ——— +4 INBREEDING SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION. ; OST of the recommendations made by the committee on M school inquiry are of a character so technical their value can be appraised only by persons having a practical knowl- edge of the workings of the school system. There are soine impor- tant statements, however, that appeal to common sense. Among these is the charge that the present system of control is subject to the defect that the persons engaged in supervising and administering the schools are themselves the product of the very system they are ealled upon to direct. ‘Thus the Board of Superintendents is immersed in adminis- Grative detail, having no contact with the pupils and, therefore, no im- mediate experience with the working of the rules they prescribe, yet they insist the rules be rigidly enforced, giving the teacher no latitude for initiative or originality of instruction. Moreover the committec found that teachers and superintendents did not wish it known they had given information upon which criticisms have been based. They were afraid i would endanger their standing and chances of advancement. In short the schools are suffering to some extent et least from | ~~ 8 defect common to all bureaucracies, that of a sort of inbreeding of control. No one can advance save those that favor the system, ‘An evil of this kind grows rapidly. There should be come way to @heck it at once. a MARRIAGE MADE SAFE AND SANE. 'T. LOUIS has a woman who solved the marriage question fca S her sons by training up servant girls in the home so thet after five years they were fitted to be wives; then she married “the girls to the boys, and they have lived happily ever after. ‘This method is wiser than any 60 far advocated by marriage re- {formers and supporters of eugenics, for it avoids the objectionable :requirement of a physical and a financial investigation of the con- ditions of the candidates for matrimony before a license is granted. Moreover it solves gore problems than one. Its general gdoption qwould essure the continuance of the home, for it could not be carried tut in a flat. In addition it removes most of the perplexing factors from the servant girl problem, puts an end to indiscriminate flirting, femeourages housekeeping among girls and saves youth from the , @angers of going to summer revorts in search of a wife. Hore arc many evils avoided by a single process. The plan, therefore, may De looked upon es an ideal one, provided legislators can be made to keep their hands off it and not try to enact it into law. en THE HAUGHTY BOSS AND THE BRICK THROWER. ROSPECTS are good that before the week is over we shall be rid of most of the strikes that have tormented the new year. ‘Thousands of dollars have been lost from what should have been the earnings on both sides. In some cases, too, the loss has been much more than money. Therefore a heavy price has been paid for whatever good is to follow the settlement of the disputes, and it is not too much to expect that a part of it will come to us in the form of a larger amount of common sense among the leaders in deal- ing with similar troubles in future. It was very foolish on the part of strikers to resort to any kind of violence or menace whether by the throwing of bricke or the call- ing of insulting names. It was equally foolish on the part of em- ployers to refuse to treat with Inbor organizations, or to receive their representatives. This is where arbitration even if compulsory would almost surely produce good results, for in the face of public opinion arbitrators would not sanction the cbstinacy of the employer any more than the police sanction the violence of the striker.

But in love, as in soda water, every woman clingeth unto one chotc and whether tt be sarsaparilia or flirtation she preferreth it CONOEN- TRATED, Lo, when a woman hath set her heart upon ONE man, she 4s blind and \deaf and mute to all othera, Yet what man cannot flirt with a butterfly while he converacth with a . | euifragette and holdcth the hand of a chorue girl? Behold, his heart ts like unto @ block of Neapolitan ice cream in its in- fintte variety; having a layer of flirtation, a layer of platonic friendship and a layer of grande passion, For one woman relieveth the monotony of another, even as chocolate relieveth the insipidity of vanilla and pistachio As sweetness of strau- berry.

Yea, he will eat out of her hand, and come when she whtetles, and lie low when she frowns, and bark joyfully when she petteth him, For verily, verily, @ man who hath rung all the changes on love before marriage is least likely to pine for a change afterward, And he that hath fought tong and hard against captivity, end Lost, Rath no fight left wm him.
