The Lecture Field.

In this country the utterances of the
lecturer from the platform has been
long regarded as popular system of
teaching, especially when the platform
was occupied 10y of the most able and
thoughtful men and women in the
country. Their teachings command
the attention and respect of the most
cultivated classes in the land. 1t is,
however, to be regretted that but few
of the large number OF lecturers now
in the field are deserving of popular
support and public attention.
The lists of names presented by the
lecture bureaus, both in the East and
West, are almost wholly made up from
those of moderate ability and talent,
and who rise from obscurity only
through the machinery of the bureaus.
The system of public lecturing is in
tended to be an advance upon the old
methods of teaching, since it popular
ICES an educating process outside of the
schools and far beyond the limits Of
textbooks. Only ability of the first
order should enter upon this broad
field of instruction, and then only upon
occasions commanding public interest
and consideration. Hence the pro-
fessional lecturer is more of machine
than a thoughtful and a reasoning ex.
ponent of policies or principles.-Er'

Carlyle prophesied that the kitchen
range was to be considered sort OF
throne and altar of the future and that
the gfidiron was to he brandished as q
censor in the coming temple of human
ity. Some theories look very much as
If the good time was coming that way.
The theory is that the stomach domi-
mates the conscience through the appe-
tites, and the way to save the race is to
get it sound at the core. It is held
that religion cannot act on n bad stom-
ach. the result of poor cooking. That
science only touches the head and can
not get it right without savory food.
That stimulants and thousand pana-
ce,,s that men look to are only whips
that fail on long run. All these aids
seem to argue deep-felt need OF aid,
and having tried many things it is only
fair to give the kitchen good, honest
probation, though perhaps Il may be
we'll to remember as n hint that men
never will get right on bread or even on
the best cooking alone. Philadelphia

EXPENDITURES FOR FOOD AND CLOTHING.
The report OF j. A. Smith, Paymaster Gen
eral Of the United States navy, Chief of the
Bureau for Provisions and Clothing. shows
that the expenditures for provisions during
the year amounted to Sl.0Oo. a5a. The amount
expended by pay officers abroad was SS6a, $50;
expended by the bureau, Scripts. There is a
deficiency for provisions amounting TO SRA
aSs. The total expenditures on account OF
clothing were Sal5, al, leaving u balance of
1914, $50. The total amount expended on ac-
count of small stores was S.. 5b6, leaving a
balance of $las,050. The amount expended
for contingencies was S,s,5i9, leaving II bal
ancc Of s., $50. 4 comparison with previous
years shows rapid increase in payments for
commuted rations.
Great Improvement has been made i'm the
clothing of the enlisted men Of the navy un-
der the present system of manufacture at the
New York navy yard. Changes arc, however,
contemplated, with view of improving the
quality and reducing the cost of the clothing.
An appropriation of $780, 600 is asked for the
payment OF freight on stores. The estimates
for the next fiscal year include sls,5s0 on nc
count OF salaries for clerks; 81, leo for mis-
cellancous expenses; Sl20,450 for commntcd
rations of LOO officers; Slso.675 for commut-

CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR.
The Chief of the Bureau of Construction
and Repair, in his annual report to the Sec
rotary Of the Navy, estimates that 100000
will be necessary TO complete the frigate
New York AT the Brooklyn naTs-yard and
the Mohican at Mare island. He recommends
that the Thlmany process for preserving
timber be adopted. A sufficient appropria-
ton should be made by Congress tn purchase
shiphuilding material to put in stock. The
number OF wooden vessels will be largely re-
duc.d under the operations of the act which
forhids the repair OF any wooden vessel
OF the navy when the repairs will cost more
than 20 per cent. of the appraised
value. 1t is recommended that the
limit of repairs on wooden vessels be fixed at
33 per cent. OF the cost of new vessel Of
like size and materials. unless Congress may
see 1T to replace them by iron or steel vessels.
Since the passage OF the act I'm operation, re-
pairs on the following named vessels haze
had to be abandoned: Alaska, Monongahela,
Plymouth and 1iconderoga. All uf these
vessels, except the Alaska. were worth re-
pairing. The same act will sacrifice the Rich
mond and Pensacola. The limit for the
existence of the Minnesota Is fxed nj eighteen
months. The Colorado Is to he placed in ordi-
nary, and the Vermont fitted as receiving
ship. The Tennessee will not last longer than
twelve months. The training-ycssels SARA
toga. Portsmouth, and jamestown will soon
have TO lie abandoned under the present law.

Here are nineteen men who own
1,367, 900 acres of land, territory
forty-six miles each way, as large as
four Michigan counties put together.
Each landlord averages tract of 116
square miles, equal to one-third of one
of our counties. All of this land is
taken away from the people who are
loyal to our country, who are subject
to military duty here, and given to
aliens, whose only interest in US is what
they can get out of us.
In time these men or their descend
ants will have control over the votes of
their tenants, if they do not shut civili-
zation away from their lands and make
hunting grounds of them, and will use
it to the detriment of our institutions.
A mans eligibility to Congress will
depend OH how well he suits the domi-
nant foreign landlord of his district. 1t
is bad state of affairs, but it is con-
dition that has been invited through
the three last administrations.-C Chi
