In the municipal election in Providence,
the liquor license question was carried by
1903 majority, against 478 year ago.
This result was doubtless due to the ex-
ASPIRATION caused by the St. John bust
ness. But the people should discrimin-
ate between the Temperance cause and a
Prohibition political party.

The Maybee and English temperance
crusade has begun in Passaic with, it is
stated, profitable results. These workers
in the cause show much devotion, as well
as freedom from the petty spirit which
has pcrvaded the actions of many others,
that ought to accomplish good results.
While the Prohibition organizations have
been dealing in politics and wondering
whether St. John ibid or did not" these
temperance workers seem to have been
doing much real good.

Prof. Keilers Concert.
The concert given by Prof. Keller, of
Philadelphia, at Holcombe Hall, on
Thanksgiving evening, drew out a large
audience. The programme was well per-
formed throughout, and taken as whole,
it was delightful entertainment. The
violin solo by Prof. Hahn, of the Phila-
delphia Conservatory of Music, was skill
fully and artistically played, and it was
none the less fine because it was free
from the violin gymnastics with which
some solo players endeavor to astonish an
audience. The harp solos by Signor
Setaro were gems and exceeded anything
in harp playing that has been heard in
this city. Signor Rossi's solo on the pic.
colo was entirely out of the usual line,
and gave great pleasure to the audience.
He is an artist of rare ability. Signor
Francheschini gave beautiful and artis-
tic solo on the correct. The orchestral
pieces were finely played. The singing of
Miss Stevenson and Miss Keller, it is not
necessary to say, was excellent. They
are fayorites with our people.

Charming Women.

1t is the business of Il woman of the
world TO be agreeable, says u writer in
The atlantic. She spares no pains to
make herself rs good looking us possi-
BILE and just rs charming. And she is
always tolerant. She may think you
are fool for your beliefs, but she done t
tell you so brutally, or try to crush YOU
with an avalanche of argument. She
tries to look nj the matter from your
point of view; in short she feigns a
sympathy, if she have it not. Your
women with purpose think it wrong
to foign anything. They won't pretend
to be sympathetic any more than they
will powder their faces, or let their
dressmaker improve their figures.
That's why they are SO boring! they are
too narrow to be sympathetic, and too
conscientious to be polite. 1t is earn
cstness that does it; earne5tness is usu-
ally narrowing. 1t is earnestness, too,
that sets their nerves in quiver and
makes them so restless. They can new
er sit still; they are always twtching,
don't you know? That's carnestness.
1t has n kind of electrical effect. Wo-
men in earnest have no rcpose of man
ncr. But woman of the world feirns
that just as she feigns sympathy, be-
cause it makes her pleasant to other
people. Oh, there is no doubt of il;
women with purpose are vastly better
than other women, but they are not
nearly so nice.

The Country Paper.

There is one thing that strikes us as
being most remarkable in the conduct
of United States journalism, and that
is the pith and strength of expression
that runs throughout the so-called
country press. 1t really is in the coun-
try press that thought finds the strong
est expression. Occasionally coun-
try editor bctrays ignorance or care
lessness of the rules of grammar; some
times he gets d little off, on the
matter OF propriety; but the country
newspaper, like the country voter, has
larger force in shaping the destinies
of the people for whom we journalists
all write, than the whole so-called
metropolitan press combined. Indeed,
the facts lead 10 the following kind of
a formulation of the uses of newspa-
pers: The papers of the great cities
supply current news in the mass, as it
is their province to do; the country
newspaper digests the news into the
shape of practical and effective thought.
The man of the country has time to
think; he of the city has barely time to
record, and if he attempts to make de-
ductions, his time is so short and his OPP
portunities SO liable to be tinctured with
bias, that he frequently comes to grief
and has to eat his own words. 1t is in the
cities that the doctrine has grown that
a newspaper has neither conscience nor
memory; such doctrine would ruin the
most successful country newspaper in
the union. The great dailies of the
great cities are magnificent organiza-
tions for the collection and dissemination
of news, but there their functions, ex-
cept as to the manipulation of local,
political and social affairs, cease. The
country newspaper should be Il vehicle
OF thought, and generally is so. The
facts are spread before them by the
great city daiiies, and they contrcl or
guide public sentiment.-AMericaw

Japanese Tea Houses.

A tea house of Japan is but one
story high, with n nicely matted porch,
from the corners OF which depend the
omnipresent japanese paper lanterns.
We catch II glimpse of the interior, and
are amazed at the simplicity of the ap-
pointments, although this is one of the
better class of inns. The floor within
is covered with the universal Japanese
mats, always three feet by six in di-
mensiOns, and, therefore. used as q
matter of convenience for household
measurement purposes. have also
learned that the fans in use in this
country, with a view to the same utility,
are usually made just foot in length.
These mats are scrupulOusly clean, and
it seems entirely appropriate that we
remove our shoes, in obedience to the
prevalent custom, before entering.
The only remaining articles of furni-
ture are some scrolls which hang on the
walls, and the common sli; ing screens,
which are used for converting the in
terror of the Japanese house into Just i
many and such shaped apartments as
the owner pleases. This is a respect in
which japanese convenience goes be-
yond American convenRnc3, though |
am not at all in doubt as to which way
l prefer.
A party of European tourists are
laboriously ..squatting" about some.
little tables, one for each guest, and sip
ping tea from tiny decorated cups. On
the tables are also very small dishes Of
confectionery and sweetiaeats. For
walters we observe modest, cver-smil-
ing, clean-looking Japanese maidens,
who are profuse in their demonstra-
tions of civility. Indeed. we are tempt
ed to call ii palavering before we be-
come accustomed to the ways OF the peo-
pie. The premises about the tea-house
are converted into pretty garden,
with rockerics and cascades, thus CIV
ING us a sample of the landscape gar
dening for which the Japanese have
become SO favorably famous.-Cor. N.

A New York daily had prepared one
day two articles, one on sermon by
celebrated minister and the other on
the freaks of a mad dog. The foreman
in placing them in the form mixed
them, with this result: ''Rev. James
Thompson, rector of St. Andrews S
Church, preached to large concourse
of people last Sunday. This is his last
sermon. In a few weeks he leaves for
Europe, as per the advice of his physi-
clan. He eXhorted his brethren and
sisters, and after offering up devout
prayer, took a whim to cut up some
frantic freaks. He took run up Tim
othy street to johnson, down Benefit to
College, where he was met by couple
of boys who tied tin kettle to his
tail, ana he again started. A crowd
collected and for a time there was
great excitement and confusion. After
some trouble be was shot by police
man."
