GOuverneur Morris.

Gouverneur Morris is BY no means so
well known to the present generation as
he ought to be. Perhaps it would be
more accurate to say that he has not
been and is not justly appreciated. If,
however, We turn to NJ. Tainc's great
work on the French Revolution, We find
that he relies on Morris as one of the
best and most penetrating observers Of
that great struggle and places him ut
the head of the small group of men like
Arthur Young. Malouet, and Mallet du
Pan, who alone were able to record clear
and dispassionate judgments in that diz-
zy time, for the benefit of pOsterity. The
comments of Mr.. Morris, thus rescued
from his biography and brought before
a wide public by NJ. Taine, already have
attracted attention elsewhere. and re-
cent article in Mdcmilidn'S Magazine
shows how striking his criticisms and
narrative really are. Such prophet
should never be without honor in his
own country. and now that he is winning
admiration in England and France per-
haps it would not be amiss to refresh
our own memories in regard to him.
1t is not to be wondered at that NJ.
Taine and others find so much that is
admirable in Gouverneur Morris, for in
him many high qualities met in rare
combination. A man of the world and
of society, wit. philosopher, and fine
gentleman, he was also bold and ar
dent patriot, an able and most practi-
cal statesman, distinguished lawyer,
and a successful manager of large bust
ness affairs. He played a conspicuous
part among the many eminent men of
his day. but in one respect he differs
from them all. He had sharp wit, Il
strong sense of humOr, and q capacity
for amusing satire which are to be seen
in all his writings. If we except Frank
lin, who was of an earlier generation,
Gouverneur Morris holds in this respect
IL lonely pre-eminence among his friends
and contemporaries. The great men of
our revolutionary and constitutional
period were, it must be confessed. judg-
ing from their letters and journals,
somewhat ponderOus. Now and then
we find a moment when We can laugh
at them, but Morris is the only one of
them all with whom We laugh or smile
in sympathy. This is enough of itself
to make us hold him in remembrance.
but he was far more than merely an
amusing companion or a writer of
clever letters. Cabot Lodge. in

Two College Stories.

Some interesting situations have come
up at Harvard aprOpos OF the enforce
ment of involuntary prayers" The
other day party of four young men.
with dark hair and slightly aquiline
noses. picked fellows among the stu
dents. waited upon the dean of the
faculty and asked to he excused from
chapel in the morning. on the ground
that they were Jews and had religious
scrupies against attending Christian
services. The good doctor knew the ap-
plying students by sight only, and. as
he made memorandum Of their re-
quest, casually asked their names. Aft
er he had put them down. his tablet
run something like this: Solomon Isaac
Lowe. Abram Greenbauer, Moses j.
Stern, Jacob Friedburger. 1t struck the
conserver of moral discipline that it
was little extraordinary that he had not
heard of this Hebrew quartet: 50. though
he granted them the required leave of
absence from prayers. he looked into the
matter. and found, of course, that this
was only another expedient of goddess
youth to ''cut chapel"
This reminds the historian of 4 story
of his juvenage. a young colleSian of
his acquaintance was called up for a

Rum and Oil.

LET me have little butter. please" :"
said q stout, elderly gentleman, who
stood in front of the Morton house baI
the other evening. with glass of steam
ing hot rum before him.
The white-aproncd bartender bent
down, and from shelf underneath the
polished mahogany brought up dish
of butter in which was stuck silver
knife. With this the man took off
lump of butter and dropped it into his
glass and stirred it about until it was
melted. Then he drank the cOncOction
slowly, with an oily smile ovcrspread-
ing his features.
sYes, it is rather curious drink"
said the bartender to the reporter stand
ing by. ''but it is very pleasant one,
and . great favorite with some gentle
men. Those who don't know of its cf-
fects, however, had better let it alone.
for the effects are apt to be queer. The
man who. drinks a number of these hot
runs would bc quite sober when he
went home. but in the morning when
he woke up he would be rs drunk
as lord. That's odd. isn't it? But it
is easy enough to explain. 1t is because
there is so much oil in the butter.
Let me explain. and you can try it
yourself Take bottle of swcet-Oil
with you when you go out with the boys
the next time. Order any kind of liquor
you like, though wouldn't bother
much with beer if were you. Pour in
to the glass a few drops of sweet-Oil
every time YOU take drink. No mat
ter how much you drink you will keep
sober, while your friends. if they have
kept up with you, will be in n very how
came-yOu-so' condition. You 60 home
and go to bed feeling all right and in
the morning when you wake up you
will be dead drunk The reason is SIM
pie Oil. IS you must know, rises to the
surface.
Consequently, when you drink these
Oil-covered concOctiOns the oil will re-
main on the surface in your stomach,
keeping the fumes of the liquor down.
That prevents you from getting drunk.
When you have stopped drinking and
gone to sleep, thus giving your interior
arrangements chance to 60 about
their ordinary duties, the oil will grad
ually evaporate itself through the sys-
tenn, allowing the fumes of the liquor to
rise to your head. The consequence is
that you awake in the morning full

neither can his wife. who has seen him
go to bed sober the night before. and
can't be persuaded that he has not got
up during the early hours to take on the
load he apparently has with him. But
ter has the same effect as sweet-oil. be-
cause it contains a large percentage of
that fluid in its composition. SO I'd ad-
wise you to leave hot rum and butter Sc
verely alone if you're a married man.
But if you're going on trip, and want
to take along load that won't operate
until the next day, you can try what oil
will do for you."-N. T. Star.
