Nothing New Under the Sun.

The New York Nation.
Modern refOrmers are often depres-
sed by the sudden discovery that not
only the practices which they strive
against are of old date, bot so also are
their own supposed rewly.invented
methods of dealing with them. From
the late publication in England of
"The Court Leet Records of the
Manor of Manchester" we learn that
some devices for dealing with the
drink question which appear among
late legislation have in fact the pre-
scriptiOn of three centuries. For in
stance. in 1860 it was ordered, under
the penalty of ten shillings, that per-
sons should not brew beer to sell
"unless they be able to make two
honest bpddiS," Here we have our
familiar three. bed-inn license proVl-
sion, not so long since produced as
the best fruit of nineteenth-century
wisdom, more than 800 years ago
f1ourishing, but doubtless speedily
decayIng as in our own day. More
over, it was ordered in 1913 that a
drunken person should be fined, and
if unable to pay 1.-THE good man or

mulcted in his stead. This again is
in spirit, or even in terms, identical
with modern measures which have
been either adopted or proposed.
Such resurrectiOns as these are, as we
have said, often depressing TO the re-
forming mind. Whether they rightly
are 50, or should not rather be stimu.
lating, is another question, or in fact
is no question, because the recorded
history of human experience ought
to be part of every retormer's mental
furniture. He should profit in his
vocation by mems failures as much
as by any other thing, or perhaps
even more than by any other. I'M

ment, being necessarily fervid, is inn
patient of waiting and study, and
prefers to invent a starting. point for
the mere pleasure of beginning. The
consequence of which is that often
the reformer, after the exhilaratiOn
of much assumed progress, finds him
self some centuries in arrear of his
own time, his good dispositions and
welI-meant energy all wasted, for
want of knowing what the Patent
Office terms "the existing state of

A dashing Washington widow, who
had received marked attention from
very popular and gallant physician,
found herself suddenly deserted. Her
Esculapius, aged 81, was completely
enthralled by beauty Of Is, and
Christmas morning the wedding took
place with all due pomp. Worm
wood for the widow! She swallow
ell it bravely, wore an undaunted
front, ard was among the first to offer
hurried congratulations to the happy
pair. The conversation turned upon
Christmas gifts, and the bride said, ,
laughing gayIy: "And my wedding
presents were sent just before Christ
mas, so Christmas morning had not
a single gift" All my dear, that is
cruel you had me-" said the bride
groom, reprOachfulIy. Before the
pretty bride could answer, the wild
owls eyes grew dangerous. and,
swinging slowly her large fan, she
murmured "Surely my dear Mrs.
X, you should be more than salts
fed, for you know antiquities are all
the rage" In the awful silence fol-
lowing, the widow rose, carefully
arranged her draperies, and bowed
her adieu in stately serenity. DIR. X.
and his bride never returned her
call.
