Sometimes as I walk the streets l
wonder, as l look at the passing faces,
what sort of children the men and women
l meet nave brought or will bring into
the world. And l look at the younger
generation and wonder if the young men
and young women l see realize the re-
sponsibilities that are rest upon them as
fathers and mothers. For if there is one
gospel saying that is true it is this: 1.-THE
sins of the fathers shall be visited upon
the children even unto the third and
fourth generation" The SO called mild
designations of society, the irregular
hours, the heated rooms, the midnight
suppers, the tight lacing, the pneumon-
iacal dressing, the thousand and one i'm
prudences of the young, are simply SO
many seeds that will ripen and bear fruit
some day, and IL the harvest is not
gathered by the sewers it will be reaped
in full by their descendants. Physician

Two Kinds of Good Nnturs.

l draw a wide mark between the con-
tentment Of indifference, which is simply
hideous, unmanly and brutal, and that
good nature which beams through one's
personality as the sun shines through the
heavens. An Indifferent man goes into
IA room where there are children playing.
He doesn't ''annoy'' the children, be
cause he doesn't care anything about
them. He doesn't bother them. They
are not worth the trouble of a look even,
so it might be said that he is an agree
able man, that he never interferes with
the children; but, on the other hand, a
good natured man goes into the same
room, is surrounded by the same COM
pany, and makes himself agreeable. He
is good natured, he is pleasant, he is
jolly, he takes notice, he speaks and he
caresses, he gives pleasure.
Now, don't you believe that of the two
the latter has the better time. He doesn't
annoy and trouble and interfere with the
children any more than the first, but
what a different impression he produces.
The one cares nothing, the other cares
much. The one gives nothing, the other
gives much; the one, therefore, receives
nothing, while the other, of necessity, re,
ceives much.-Joe Howard in Boston

NJ. Verneuil has his facts and his Stats

l was reading the other day hat Wen
dell Phillips, the lecturer, when he
Travelled carried a sleeping bag, into
which he crawled at night when at a
strange hotel. 1t reminded me of the
sleeping bag that Deb. Randolph Keim
tells me Gen. Phil Sheridan carried while
on the campaign against the Indians in
midwinter. 1t was made of fur with the
fur inside and Sheridan used to strip and
crawl into 1t. The general had two big
dogs that followed him about, and in the
morning early, when the ~reveille was
sounded, the dogs would go nosing about
until they got into Sheridan's tent, when
they would rush upon their sleeping
master and run their cold noses into the
sleeping bag. 1t had the effect of an
electrical bath IN Little Phil, and the
language he used was exceedingly free.
The mercury in his tent would go up about
40 dogs. when he cut loose, and the dogs
would rush growing down the camp
street, while Keim would lie there and
laugh.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

SONG IN GERMANY.
Everybody Fond of Vocal EIusIc-Custom,
of the FatherIand.


There are good reasons for s~uspecting
that the first word a German baby utters
is Singverein, and long before the dear
little thing can enunciate it cries the
word. Some day, no doubt, there will
be Singvereine for the cats in Germany;
at present the institution is limited to
human beings, but what an endless vari-
ETY. of them (Singvereine, not CATS there
are, to be sure! Enough, heaven knows,
to satisfy the most fastidious taste and to
please the most -extravagant fancy. There
are ~Singvereine for all classes, and even
for such as cannot be classed at all.
There are public, private, and privasis-
SINE Singvereine, official and informal,
good, bad and Indifferent. There are
Singvereine of the old school, and Sing
vereine with all modern improvements.
There are Singvereine for men and for
women, for children and for students,
and, l was going to add, for the deaf and
dumb. Now and hen you may come
across n person who has never belonged
to a Singverein, but the chances are that
he is q wax figure, and even then you
may feel quite sure that he sings all the
same.
But not only does everybody sing in
Germany, singing is INDUCED in on all
occasions. The German sings when he
is happy and when he is sad, at home
and on the street. Indeed, he will sing
upon the slightest provocation. If a
and strikes up ode Wacht am Rhein''
or WAS list des Deutchen Vaterland" he
goes off with the certainty of an alarm
clock. 1t is almost as dangerous to pro-
u the word ''gesang'' in Germany
as it is to speak of beer or "dyna-
mite" A birthday celebration without
song is fatally incomplete; u Jubilaum

jubilee in Germany, down to the sauce

years. without a Standchen is utterly in
conceivable, and as for a wedding, the
absence of q song written for the occa-
sion would be as keenly felt as the alb
sence of the minister.
Again, when, from the ship which is
to carry you to distant lands, you wave
n last farewell to home and friends, there
arises from the shore n stirring melody
into which your comrades, from whom
you are about 10 part, perhaps forever,
pour all their hopes and wishes for YOU.
Long after the last strip of land has re-
coded from view, the sounds are still
ringing in your ears. Like n sweet
blessing, the song follows you across the
deep. And, finally, when the grave is
about to close over the form of some
loved one who has gone before. it is in a
song that grief and sorrow seek to find
an utterance among the Germans Tho

The f~avorite method of paying for
board is to organize an eating club. The
process is simple. At the beginning of n
year a man goes around among his class
mates m secures eight or ten who agree
TO take their meals together. He then
goes to some landlady and agrees to fur
nish her with an eating club of students.
He agrees furthermore to relieve her
from all pecuniary responsibility by col
lecting at the end of each week from the
men the money for their board and hand
ing it over to her. In return for this she
agrees to furnish him with his board. 1t
is beneficial to the student, because the
members of the club, knowing that he is
in Strengthened circumstances, are always
willing to help him by paying regularly
and promptly.
Every class has in it four or five O
itors, whose duty it is to record the alb
sence or hardness of students at recita-
tons or morning prayers. A monitor
receives S35 a year from the faculty.
The same amount is paid each year to
Ii mar who rings the college bell. OF
late years the college press has been n
fruitful source of revenue to its editors.
The Literary Magazine pays to each ed
itor from $40 to $3.50 a year. The
financial editor receives from $3.50 to
500. The News pays to each senior ed
itor from $3.50 to 1915, and the financial
editor receives from 1928 to $3.50. The
Record and Courant ought 10 pay to each
senior editor $50 yearly. but often,
through poor management, barely covers
expenses. The Yale Banner clears to the
publisher from 5000 to $3.50, and The
Pot Pourri somewhat less than this sum-.

Into an oculist's shop on Union square
n score or more of prominent men are
sometimes seen to enter on u single
morning Preachers, lawyers, doctors
and writers make up by far the larger
proportion of the number. Few of them
reach so without feeling the need of arti-
fetal eyes. Actors preserve their sight
remarkably well. Leading men are
rarely seen to wear eyeglasses. Merchants
whose bookkeeping is lone for them by
employees get along well enough to so
and 60 years of age with their own eyes.
The b~ookkeepers buy the sp~ectacles. The
oculist says it is the haste of modern life,
worry, disease and carelessness that build
up and maintain his trade. When from
any of these reasons the human eye fails
to accommodate itself to distances, its
focus has to be heightened or shortened,
like that of an opera glass. New York

Anonrmous writers of verse.

Until n young writer has got used to
the novelty of seeing his thoughts in
print, and a judge their value more
reasonably han a beginner ever can
judge the value of his first printed essay,
lac will do best to keep his authorship
from the knowledge of the public, and
let people attribute lis verses to Holmes
or Tennyson, and his prose to Black or
Howells, if they will. When he has
gained some confidence and some expe-
rience, and can look upon his writing
simply rs a matter of business, then it is
time enough for him to fix upon his sig
nature. and publish it, at the beginning
OF the end Of his immortal essays, to an
eager and expectant world. William II.

HARRISON ACCEP
General Harrison Formally Accepts
the Nomination
rendered Him by the Republican Ma
tionaI Convention and Defines
His Position on the Issues
of the Day.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 12.-Follow-
ing is General Harrison's letter of ac-
Ceptance:
HON. NJ NJ EsTEE AND OTHERS, COMMITTEES,
ETC Gentlemen: When your committee visit
ed me on the Fourth of July last and presented
the official announcement of my nomination for
the presidency Of the United States by the Re
publican convention, promised, as soon as
practicable to communicate to you more for
NAL acceptance OF the nomination. Since that
time the work of receiving and addressing, al
most daily, large delegations OF my fellew-citi-
zens has not only occupied all of my time, but
has in some measure rendered it unnecessary
for me to use this letter a medium of COM
municating to the public my views upon the
ciate very highly the confidence and respect
manifested by the convention, and accept the
nomination with a feeling of gratitude and a
full sense Of the responsibilities which accom-
pRny it.
1t IS a matter of congratulation that the dec
larations of the Chicago convention upon the
questions that now attract the interest of our
people are so clear and emphatic. There is
further cause Of congratulation in the fact that
the convention utterances of the Democratic
party, If in any degree uncertain or contradict
DRY, can now be judged and interpreted by ex-
ecutive acts and messagesJa and bydeffnite prOpo-
sitions in legislation. ThisIs especially true of
what is popularly:know as the tariff question
The issue can not now be obscured. It is not a
contest between. schedules, but between wide
apart principles. The foreign competitors for
our market have, with quick instinct, seen
how one issue OF this contest may
bring them advantage, and our own
