Odd Bits Of Ignorance.

lodtuIudy hcflcW.J :
In spite of the advance of education, every
one who has observed his felfow-creatures
must be aware that even the educated classes
are grotesquely ignorant. We have known
clergyman, and University man to boot, and
grave fellow, too, and a pious, who, when he
visited the Riviera, expressed peculiar interest
in the prospect of viewing Nice. Here" said
he, twas held the famous Council of Nice, and
in the presence of that blue sea, within the
shade of those gray groves of olives, was COM
posed one of the creeds of the Church" This
was doubtless a sentence from some future SER
mon; but we regret to say that, in thought
less moment, and obeying pedantic impulse,
we dispelled the illusion and demonstrated
that the Council IF Nice was not held in the
fascinating neighborhood of Monte Carlo.
1t is not everyone who has heard of Mr.. OAR
win. At his recent funeral, distinguished
naturalist, fond of conversation. began to chat
with high official of the police force who was
helping people to move on in an orderly man
ner. "Ah, sir" said the inspector, ''we have
lost great man-Darwin, the Laureate poet!''
The public is peculiarly ignorant OF Bible
history. We doubt if a fair percentage of the
people you meet in the course of an hours
walk could get as near the order of the names
of the books in the Old Testament as the little
school girl in Somerset. This West-country
blossom of the School Board system was re-
quested to name the earlier writings Of the sa-
cred text, which she did thus, and very fluent
ly:-"Devonshire, Exeter, Liticus, Numbers,
Astronomy, Jupiter, Jumbo, Ruth" Here the
higher criticism dimly detects a vague local
rendering OF Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
Numbers. Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges,
Ruth Talking of Ruth reminds us of the
ignorant lady at the picture gallery. Ruth
and Boaz," she read in the catalogue; "who
was Ruth?" Whereupon her companion ia
vored her with a sketch of the plot of Mrs.
Gaskell's Ruth, ending with the confession,
"but don't remember who Boaz was" An
American lady was heard to ask in the Pitt
Galleries, "Who is that by?" The answer was
"Rayphael." SIS he the same as Raphael
Sanzio?" "No don't you know there are three
of them, Raphael, Sanzio and Urbino."

New Homes in w ashington

Washington Corr Chicago Journal
One must walk or drive over the smooth
pavements from Scott Circle. marked by the
equestrian bronze statue of the hero of Mexico,
out Massachusetts avenue to the west, and
down Connecticut avenue south, to see the
magnificent residences that have risen within
five years. Don Cameron led off with house
that numbers some thirty rooms, four stories,
with mansard above It could not be built
for much less than S75, 900 to-day. His next
door neighbor is Senator Pendleton, whose
new home is of the Queen Anne style, and the
interior showing the loveliest hall and drawing
room here. Congressman Robson is building
house next to it, and over the way Senator
Window has just settled his family in an ele-
CANT home Further on, reside Justice Harlan
and Senator Vance, and on the next street,
Chief Justice Waite, Representative Bingham
of Pennsylvania and Representative WASH
burn, of Minnesota, all in houses that would
be considered handsome anywhere.
Across Dupont Circle stands Mr.. Blaine's
new house that is to be finished by next au-
tumn. 1t is square, three stories, with man
sard, and strikes the observer as solid, plain,
and free from all sgimcracks' or fancy work.
The entrance is in spacious hall that will be
divided into three parts by pillars and por-
there's, the last part having an open fireplace
On the left, which is the south side, are the
two parlors and library that can be thrown in
to one, and to be finished in mahogany. The
reception and dining rooms are on the other
side of the house. The windows are a surprise
there are SO many, and they are of the heaviest
French plate glass, as thick as the finger and
beautifully clear. There are but the two panes,
one above and one below. The halls are fin
ished in oak and the chambers in pine, and
almost every one of the latter has an open
CRATE There are twenty-three rooms, exclu-
sive of eight bath rooms, each one of these
having the stationary stand, tub, etc. The
dumb waiter is the size of an ordinary elevator,
and runs from the basement to the gafret.
The contract for this house made the cost $780,
OOO but it will cost $4,000, if not more. many
changes having been made, differing from che
original plan. "Stewart Castle" on the north,
looks very shabby now, and has forsaken air.
1t was thought palatial in its early day and
stood alone and grand for some years, when
all about were open lots of red clay, wet and
undraiDed When Senator Stewards daugh-
ter was married she had large wedding, and
the guests drove out over the muddiest roads,
and the distance seemed like going to the
country. There is scarcely vacant lot now,
and General Schenck doubled his money a
year ago on ground that he kept but short
time, never improved but merely paid the
taxes, and sold it with the same old board
fence that inclosed it when he bought it.

THE Mormon evangelization of Great
Britain is bearing fruit. Preachers of the
gospel according to the Latter Day Saints
have been for year past unusually active
in that country. So much stir has been oc-
casioned by their success in making con-
verts that inquiries about it have been made
in Parliament, whereupon the Government
has confessed that it is powerless to inter-
fere. The results of the work are now be-
ginning to be seen on this side of the water.
A few days ago 400 new recruits to Mormon
ism from England and Scotland reached
Salt Lake City, and were rapidly scattered
throughout Utah where their presence was
most needed, or where they would be least
likely to come in contact with outside cor
rupting Gentle influence. Four or five
more bands are expected this summer.
Any man who looks at these facts and th en-
says it will be easy to crush even the polyg-
amous Mormons is "off his base.o While
Congress hurls Edmunds's act at polygamy
the Mormons bring converts from Europe,
get correspondent of the New York World
to write them up as ssSaints" indeed, and
coolly send to Washington memorial for
the admission of Utah to the Union.

RIDICULOUS overestimates of the popula-
tions of the Oriental nations are the rule. 1t
is to be feared that their censuses are not
very reliable, and where, as in China, no
census is taken it is impossible to put any
confidence in thecurrent guesswork. Some
approach to accuracy is probably reached in
Japan, where an enumeration is made peri
odically. A census was taken. last year,
whose footings, just published, show the
population of the country to be 36,358, 1914,
of whom Is, 423, PA are males and 1895, 720
females. These figures are probably not
very far out of the way. The increase since
1874, when the last enumeration was made,
is /, 1885, 75, or about per cent. The aver
age number of persons to the square mile in
Japan is 239; in the United States it is AZ.
Only Belgium, the Netherlands, Great Brit
ain and Italy are more thickly populated
than Japan.

THE English iron market is just recover
ing from the effects of strike very much
like that now in progress in this country.
All the workmen in the north of England in
the manufactured iron trade stopped work
the last of April, leaving the blast furnaces
still running, and throwing on the market
or adding to stocks, as it was estimated,
1900 tons of pig iron per week. The in
fuence of the stoppage was on the point OF
becoming felt disastrously in many indus
tries, when suddenly, four weeks ago, the
men announced that they would go to work
again Internationally on the old terms. No
attempt to secure arbitration was put forth,
and altogether the affair from beginning to
end was singular. 1t is possible that this
history will repeat itself here

A Good Days Work.

The Convention of yesterday was perhaps
the very finest body of men that ever assem-
bled in Maine. 1t was a thoroughly repre-
sentative convention, embracing not only
delegates from every city and town OF the
State, but even from many of the most re-
mete plantations. 1t was representative OF
the best and strongest elements of our best
New England society. The unusually i'm
portant nature of its duties evoked a CORE
spending interest among Republicans and
led to the selection of strong and earnest
delegates. As might be naturally assumed,
the Convention SO composed entered upon
its business in serious, thoughtful and
practical way and, Under the efficient guild
ance of its eminent President, Senator Hale,
promptly carried the proceedings through to
their conclusion.
1t was eminently cheerful and good-na-
tured body of men. The contest for the
Governorship had been spirited but not Bit
ter and the eager friends of each candidate
were prepared in advance to acquiesce cor
daily in the action of the Convention, what

who were put in nomination. Not one OF
them is new TO puptfc affaIrs nor stranger

wears on they will become better and better

tention from time to time to the special quail
tiles which render them desirable as public

the Convention and the Republicans OF
Maine on the general strength of the ticket
and especially on the spirit of harmony,
earnestness and courage manifested in every
part of the days business. We enter upon
the campaign under the most favorable aus
