full. Even if it were, though, that would
make little difference, all the world

It must have struck terror to the
hearts of the Scotch school masters to
see their pupils parading the streets,
bearing banners on which were inscribed
their just and reasonable demands as
follows: "Abolition of the Cane. Less
Hours in School. Less Parsing, and No
Home Lessons" The demand for less
parsing and less Gaming seems partlcu-
larly reasonable. When parsing goes out
of fashion in education, people will won
der how so much time came to be spent
over it.
A bouquet of women writers tells us In
a newspaper letter what they would dc

gestions are so good that it is surprising
they have not adopted them for them
selves.

This appeal presented the question
whether o written order on bank or
bankers to pay a sum of money at day
subsequent to it's date and subsequent to

such an instrument is "bill of ex-

A Graceful Foreign Custom for Which
Consideration Is Suggested.


Consideration Is Suggested.
Although we Americans ought not to copy
foreign manners because they are foreign,
but should have ways of our own, provided
they are right and proper ones, yet we have
still, according TO n writer on social customs,
some things to learn from the Europeans.
While there is no promiscuous flirting there
with strangers at seaside places or on the
cars, as there often is here, and tho entrance
to society and family life is more strictly
guarded, there is a pleasant custom, particu-
larly at continental hotels, when the guests
are gathered at table d'hote, or at the even
ing dinner at long tables, for the converse
ton to become general, no one fearing re-
buff if he speaks pleasantly and respectfully
to his neighbor whether gentleman or lady,
and the result is usually conversation as brill
liant and general as would be heard at a pri-
vate dinner party here, although carried on
in several different tongues.
There is clear understanding that ac-
uuaintances thus made do not extend beyond
this easy table talk, unless special introduc-
tons by authorized persons are given, but
the dinner hour has been pleasantly and pro-
iltably spent, while here strangers sit in
stony silence beside those who might enter
tain them pleasantly, or family parties criti-
else in undertones the dress and manners of
the other guests, and do not get more than
halt the nourishment for body or mind that
the dinner ought to afford

Paul NJ. Potter's new comedy entitled

be drst class vehicle for the display of the
wonderful talents of Messrs. Donelly and
Girard. Their performance in Natural
Gas" which has been seen several times
In Chicago, placed them at once at the
head of their line of business. The plo,
of the "City Directory" is at least entitled

an apartment in the Minerva Flats, New
York. Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith are the

Kalamazoo Hunt Club, Mr. Smith has
met him the night before. He did not
know him as Roland Stone. Indeed Mr.,
Stone introduced himself to Mr.. Smith as
Mr.. George Washington PARK, and Mr..
Smith introduced himself to Mr.. Stone as
Mr.. Madison Square. Mr.. Stone had come
from Kalamazoo To marry the daughter of
an old friend of his father. When left
alone he searches for his letter of intro
duction. He has lost 1t. All he knows Is
that the father of his intended is named
John Smith, and that he lives In New
York. He is therefore compelled to search
through the City Directory. He finds sew
on pages Of John Smiths. He determines
TO copy out their names and addresses and
visit every John Smith In town. 1t Is this
hunt for the very man whose bedroom he
has just quilted that forms the basis of the
play. Stone goes on his journey among
the Smiths, and has some lively adventures
In the second act he gets into all sorts OF
entanglements with the Smiths, and the
Smiths get all tangled up with themselves.
The scene Is the TTivoli Gardens, where
there Is frOlicsome concert singer and

They make great deal of merlment, and
there Is some good singing. In the third

Remarkable Nerve.

The early history Of America is full OF
instances Of men having great nerve. But
we are rapidly becoming the most nervous
people on earth. The recent increase of in
sanity, epileptc fits, headache, backsche
neuralgia, sleeplessness, nervousness, dys
STA, futtering of the heart, etc., points to an
early decay of the race, unless this tendency
as checked. Nothing will cure these diseases

In the Forum for June, Senator Ed
munds discusses the decay of political
morals indicated by the increasing purs
chase of voters. He estimates the amount
of money spent during the last campaign
at $5,0O0,000, and in his criticism he spares
no section of the country and neither par.
ty. Among the remedies that he points
out are better registration laws, restriction
of immigration and of naturalization, and
the compulsory publication of election ex'
penses. Another political article In this
number is "The Drift toward Annexa-
tion," by w. Blackburn Harte, an editorial
writer tor the Toronto Mail. He main
tains not only that commercial union snd
thereafter political union of the United
States and Canada are inevitable, but also
that they are desirable for Canada; and
that the Canadian politicians of all parties
know this, unwilling as some of them are
to confess 1t. Besides these there are ar

William Dean Howells discusses In Hdr.
per's Magazine for June "the question Of
now much or how little the American nov
el ought to deal with current facts Of life
which are not usually talked OF before
dies" Among other things he says;
Most Of these critics who demand pas
sion would seem TO have no conception
Of any passion but one. Yet there are sew
eral other passions: the passion of grief,
the passion Of avarice, the passion of pity,
the passion of ambition, the passion of
hate, the passion of envy, the passion of
devotion, the passion of friendship; and
all these have greater parts In the drama OF
life than the passion of love, and Infinitely
greater than the passion of guilty love.
Willingly or unwittingly, English fiction
and American fiction have recognized this
truth not fully, not In the measure 1t mer'
it's but In greater degree than in most 9TH
er felton, Again, referring to "the two
great novels which above all Others have
moved the world by their study of guilty
love-" he says: "lf by any chance, If by
any pro igious miracle, any American
should rise TO treat it on the level of Anna
Karenina' and Madame Bovary,' he would
be absolutely sure of success, and of fame
and gratitude as great as those books have
Won for their authors
"But what editor of what American
magazine would print such story?
Certainly we do not think any one
would; and here our novelist must again
submit to conditions. If he wishes to pub.
llsh such a story (supposiug him to have
once written it), he must publish 1t as a
