A. TO Ancestors.
Rurdette IN the Hd,okeye.

Look me i'm the eye, Telemachus,
would you feel proud if you could prove
that you were u lineal descendant of the
four Georges? Certainly you would not.
If you should have said yes, | should
lave advised you TO stuff yourself and
sell yourself for a cigar sign. If you
assert yourself, my boy, that is al the
world asks of you. If the world has
work FIR you to do, If it wants you and
needs you, it isn't going to look up your
family tree. Who asked about Lin
coins ancestors? Who stopped in 1853
70 ascertain if Grants family came
over in the Mayflower? What "old
family" did the American people elect
president in 1880? What great-great-
grandfather invented the telephone:
Who knows Brigham Ioung's mother
in-law? Good bless your grandfather,
my boy. Love his memory, honor his
name, revere his teachings, but don't
try to wear his shoes to-day. You can't
run and you can't climb in them. /
tell YOU, your neighbor will question
more closely the pedigree of the bloOded
horses or a mich cow you want to sell
him than he will your own.
When | hear man talking about his
ancestors | begin to think he needs
them very much. And ! always feel
sorEy for man who died before he was
horn, and lives only in the deeds and
words of his great'grandfather. Don't
die out Two or three generations before
you begin, my boy. Live your own
life, If il kills you. / have known some
men who were very proud of their an
cestors, whose ancestors would have
been most dismally ashamed of them

A Family Of Monkeys.

Hindus do not hurry themselves in

drawing the water for the day, and the
monkeys sit and wait, the old ones in
the front, sententious and serious, and
the youngsters rolling about in the dust
behind them, till at last some girls bee

it has satisfied its thirst, steps quietly
out of the circle and wipes its mouth.

Suicides I'm France.

Some official statistics have just been
issued in France OF the suicides that
have taken place in fifty years. They
show that since 1880 the number of
suicides has trebled. In 1880 there were
five suicides for every 200, 900 inhabit-
ants; in 1850, ten; in 1850, eleven; ia
1870, thirteen; in 1880, fifteen. The
total of suicides in the last year reached
$3.50, Of whom 70 per cent. were men.
The Seine Department stands at the
head Of the gloomy list, and Corsica has
the smallest number Of suicides-oDiy
two per l00, 900 iHhabitants. a painful
fact is the growing frequency of suicides
among children. Between 1876 and 1889
one hundred and ninety-eight boys and
forty girls below fifteen years Of age
destroyed themselves. or these, 21S
were over twelve years of age, q We're
between the age of twelve and ten. 4
were ten years old, and We're below
nine, the youngest being only seven
years old. In appears that by far the
greatest number Of suicides take place
in he summer, the proportions per
cent. being; Summer, 50; spring, IS;
autumn. "a, winter, Is.

ed, is there reason to believe that the
change is permanent? Politically, the
preponderance Of Republicans in Gov
eminent is overwhelming; so great, ia
deed, that there is no opposition, and
the cabinet crises, 80 frequent during the
last five years, are evidence that the
party is too bulky for effective work in
administration. Its failures, however,
naturally excited the hopes Of both
Bonapartists and Legitimatists, but the
turn of events has shown their feeble
hold on longer existence. Victor,
chozen chief of the Bonapartists at the
late celebration of the anniversary of
Austerlitz, heads body from which the
breath of life departed with the death of
the Prince Imperial in Zululand.
There will he no Henry VI, and Henry
v, Comte de Chambord, is i'll, and is
but a shadow OH the political stage.
Eventually the Republican party OF
France, after the fashion Of all great
PARTIES in new republics must fall into
two distinct parts, and the jtste mile"
in government, struck by the alternate
administration of nearly equally divided
parties will ensue. In the present cabi-
net uncertainties, there are indications
that this process of disintegration and
crystallization has already begun, and
that, as the great Federalist party in
this country, after the existence Of the
Republic was assured, broke into frag-
ments round which new parties have
clustered, so the Republican party OF
France will go its way after it has
served its purpose.
Republicans here watch with interest
the development OF the new methods
of government in that country which,
in our own early struggles, was quick
to give aid and encouragement in our
darkest hours.

How Women Keep Expense Books.

1t is a touching sight to see woman
begin TO make up her expenses, having
firmly resolved to put down every cent
she spends, so as To find out how 10
econOmize, and where all the money
goes. Procuring small book, she
makes due entry, and on the Monday
after the first Saturday in which her
husband brings homes his pay, she care
fully tears the margin off newspaper
and, with blunt pencil, strikes trial
balance something in this way:
John brought me home $3.50, and
Sl.43I had is S4g.93, and Sl.O9 | lent
Mrs. Dixtom is $50 .93-but, hold on L
ought not TO enter that because when
she returns it, it'll go down. That was
1898, and whaqhave l done with that:
Then she puts down the figures, ieaT-
ing out the items to save time-a process
which enables her TO leave out most OF
the items to where a round sum is in
volved, on the suppositipn that they
have already been put down. As thus:
Six dollars and fourteen cents for
meat aud ~ cents for celery and 10
cents OH the street-cars, and u bad . cent
piece got in exchange, and Ssh ] paid
the milkman-whO owes me 10 cents
that's So, and ID cents at church, and
the groceries they were either Sl5.6D or
$3.50 don't remember which they
were, but | guess it must have been
$3.50, for the grocer said that II |
would give him II dime he would give
me half dollar, which would make
even change, and couldn't because the
smallest had was "a quarter-and S2.l5
for mending katie's shoes, which Is the
last money that shoemaker evergels from
me, and ~ cents forcelery-nO, lput that
down.
Finally she sums up her trial-balance
sheet, aud finds that it foOtS up S64.25
which is about SIS more than she had
originally. She goes over the list sew
eral times and checks it carefully, but
all the items are correct, and she Is Just
about in despair when her good angel
hints that there may be possible mis-
take in the addition. Acting upon the
suggestion, she foOts up the column ana
finds that the total is 4.2S, and that
according to the principles of the arith-
metic size ought To have $500. Then
she counts her cash several times, the
result varying from Sl.40 up tn Sl.9I,
but then she happily discovers that she
has been mistaking 81 gold piece for
cent, and remembers that she gave the
baby trade-doliar to cut its gums with.
On the whole, she has come within So
cents of balance, aud that she says, is
close enough, and she enters in one
line OF the account book "Dr.-By
household expenses so much; and Is
very happy till she remembers, just af-
ter going to bed, that she has omitted
~. rs for her husbands hat.

rMELYE YEARs oFLIRERTY.

Even the most incredulOus who re-
garded the proclamation of the French
republic, just twelve years ago, by Gam
BETA, from the steps of the Hotel d.
Vile, as passing freak of nation that
'or nearly century hid demonstrated
its incapac;ty for elf-g0vernment, can
not tut have had their doubts dispslled
by the record of the past decade. In
that period France has not only re-
covered from the disasters of the great
war in which the sun of imperialism
sank out of sight; she has also felt tie
regcnerating influences of wider eiu-
cation, Ofgreater tolerance in political
opinion, of more natural development
of her men and lands. Those costly
Juggernauts, La Gloire aud La
Li6erte, no longer compel tribute of
wealth and blood that, thanks to
leaders who can be both progressive and
conservative, are turned now to the
worthier purposes Of commercial and
agricultural growth.

THE Hdtchmdn defends the intrusion
of the Baptists among the Armenians
in Turkey, who are chiefly CODgrega'
tionalists, though holding both to i'm.
mersion and infant baptism, on the
ground Of it, being new prOvidentiai
mission for the Baptists to undertake in
Asiatic Turkey. In Other words, it JUS
tifies the kicking up a religious row in
peaceful ard prosperous Protestant mis-
sion in the Fast because these eastern
Christians hold to the baptism of i'm
mersion as the usage of all warm eli
mates since Christianity began its mis-
sion in the world, though in every other
respect they hold more faithfully to the
general usages of Christianity than the
Baptist denomination dares. The
Waterman attempts to reduce bigOtry
to fine point in this unpleasant and
unfavOrable impression Of the spirit
that presideS in its missionary councils.
Isn't there enough Heathenism in TN"
wOrlbto occupy the Baptist MISSIONS

in missions already planted?

IF the late Mr.. GUITEAC can revisit

siderably alleviate the torments which

If one might judge by the tone Of the
English novels of society, the most ex-
hsustive labor performed in the educs-
tional training Of young ladies and gen.
tiemen Of the upper classes in that coun'
try is required for the soul-absOr5ing
study ofthe latest fashions for the use
of the knife, fork and spoon in eating at
table. Dress and furniture no longer the
serve to distinguish the elite, but the
unfsiling test is found at the dinner Ia
ble. The great Napoleon would have
utterly failed under such test, as he
invariably preferred his fingers at table,
and would rather eat by himself than in
company.

,sANEw PARTY DEMANDED.

r,he most characteristic feature OF this
year in politics is general apathy. Ex-
cepting here and there, where the friends
of some candidate are working a per-
sonal boom, or where the managers oil
a party are struggling for the offices,
there is the least possible interest.
There is no well-defined issue which the
voter can see. The average citizen
looks upon the game Of the politicians
with listless curiosity. What difference
does it make to him whether stalwart
or half-breed, Democrat or Republican
shall win? Only in Pennsylvania Is
there a contest which excites interest,
for it is waged against an offensive and
oppressive "boss" system. The triumph
of the independent voter there would b.
hailed as the beginning Of a new pollti-
cal epoch. Men cast their votes for the
party with which they have been &C,
customed to act purely from the force Of
habit. The only living issues are those
which the old parties do not divide up
on. To which of them shall we look
for civil service reform, revenue reform
and rigid accountability. Both seem
to dodge these issues in the scramble for
office.
