The FORUM FOR FEBRUARY.-The
issues that are pushing themselves
| forward as the Presidential campaign
approaches are discussed by the lead
| ers Of both parties in the pages of the
Forum (97 Fifth avenue, New York; !.
In the February number the Hon.
VIM. ID. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, lays
down the position of the prutectionists
in as exhaustive an article as he has
anywhere published. He spent sew
erai months preparing this review OF
the whole history of tariff legislation
in the United States, and he has point
ed out the effects Of protection and
free trade at every change made In the
law. This argument for protection,
which is also an explanation of its
workings, Is likely to be the platform
for the prCtectionist campaign this
year. Senator Collum, the author OF
the Government telegraph bill now
pending in the Senate, recites the his
tory of the development of the tele-
graph and of its control by the govern
Inents of other nations, pointing out
how the service has hereby been
cheapened. He shows tina. the tele
graph has ouly begun to do the full
public service Of which 1t is capable.
A system controlled by the Govern
inent, for instance, would so reduce
tolls that the papers In the smaller
towns could afford dispatches such as
Only those In the large cities can now
take. Senator Cullom's argument IL
not for Government monopoly, but
for the Governmental use, OF line OF
telegraph which shall prevent a pri
vate or corporate monopoly. Prof.
w. T. Harris, who was for many years
at the head of the public school sys-
TEN ofSt. Louis, defends the present
system of public instruction, and from
the point of view of the practical
teacher shows how any radical change
in the existing methods would defeat
the purpose of education. This num-
Der of the Forum contains also an un-
usual article, of scientific value, By
Prof. John Tyndall on I" The Sky''-
the results of his study of atmospher-
ic colOrs on the Alps. There Is also
narrative Of very unusual religious
experience in this number. Monsignor

pause of salt marshes, moaned through
the pines and swept the sandy stretch
where the little settlement of Savannah
was just beginning to pull itself together.
The scene was not very attractive. A
rude but strong stockade containing a
number of shops and houses, the head
quarters and barracks of the military, and
a few outlying cabins OF the more advent
urous pioneers-this was all.
In comfortable room in the most pre-
tentious building in the stockade, the
headquarters of the commanding general,
three gentlemen sat by blazing wood
fire. They were drinking Madeira, and
their rubicund visages showed that they
were not unaccustomed TO this and even
stronger beverages.
One of the three wore scarlet uni

Fascination of the Pool Room.

There is fascination in the pool room and
the betting stand that few young men can
resist. At the races during the week / have
seen dozens OF boys whom l know can Ill
afford TO honestly risk their money IN this
way putting up 81 and 50 and IS on races,
and almost invariably losing the amount
they wager. During the week some of them
have lost 500 or more, and their salaries do
not average more than S12 a week. ! asked
several OK them how they began this business
The answer was nearly always tie same:
They went into pool room one day. bought
a twenty-five cent ticket, and won so or $50,
or perhaps more, On q coQ1binatiou-ore OF
them won nearly $500 tie very first day Re
tried lis luck.
The result Of the winning in each case was
the same. Tbs lucky individual thought be

For the ordinary devotee Of modern life
the table adorument becomes an element
more important than even the selection or

important Flowers, Of course, are the
ready suggestion and resource Of the house

at such odd and freaky times that it may,

No one viii deny that most men treat
pleasantly the clerks who wait upon them
l think for the rlcst part men deal with
clerks on basis Of equality for the time
being, listening TO what they say, treating
their remarks with respect, asking their ad-
vice and interfering in the business CONVEX
sation more or less Of pleasant chat about the
weather, the news Of the day, the state Of
business, or whatever. Il does not matter
who the men are, whether they are million
aires, officials, petted ciergyEen, would be
aristocrats or what; thus men treat men
when business brings them together. The
main exceptions to the rule are those in
which we find the male customer familiar,
ocular and even confidential in his manner
TO whoever Is serving him, man or woman.
With women the case Is Gifarent-very
markedly, and / think strangely different
Your lady customer, your woman making
purchases, puts on an air." as the phrase
goes, when she confrouts her serv1tor. She
may have been at the instant smiling and
ulirthful with her companion; perhaps 1t Is
her nature to be frank and lively and engag-
ing with every one Of her friends and &C
quaintances, yet she is almost certain to
adopt either cold and naughty or at least
what is called thoroughly practical bust
ness like manner as she prepares to address
the clerk, always IL the clerk Is a female;
seven times in ten in my experience ii the
clerk be q male.
She permits no polite exchange Of pertinent
comment, no familiarity or departure Of any
sort from fixed adherence to the mechanical
duty Of serving her on the part Of the clerk.
II she has what humble folk cali the mark
Of the quality"-that is, the fashionable man
ner-she Will be able to remind the clerk Of
her place with sentence or look or ges-
ture in which will be found the refinement
Of GOODNESS, Of rudeness and Of assumed
superiority. And how many men are there
who will not recall that when they have
whispered "Why make that poor creature
pull down ell that stuff if you don't mean to
buyF' the answer has been something like
this: "Why should she mot do what 1 askF'
"IThy should not see things II Iwant tor
or "What else is she paid forF'
This unwarrunted behavior toward large
class of humanity is q conspicuous feature Of

Tho Care Of the Sick.

Most young women think that 70 smooth

to the lips, to arrange flowers on the table
with the vials at the head OF the bed, TO sit
beside the bed and read verses In q gentle
voice, to move about the room in flowing
robes with noiseless grace, Is the sum total Of
nursing the sick; and they are quite ready TO
begin life il which they undertake all
womanly duties, when they cannot make a
cup of Cruel so that it shall not be lumpy.
The care Of the sick is in the real experience
something immensely different; life and
death hang in the balance, and all the VEN

life, the sufTerings Of the dying, the hopes
and fears and terrible sorrows of the living
ANY serious illness is fight all the way
through between doctors and nurses on the
one side and death and dissolution on the
other.

our civilization that our daughters are
brought up to chatter French, to take the
last new dancing step, to talk critical jargoa
concerning the merits Of this and that style
of painting, to discuss theories and philoso-
plies, mathematics,ard metaphysics, and to
remain utterly ignorant Of those things
which are the most vital to every woman, to
