A SPOKEN word can never be recalled;
and the world is often cruel and unfOr-
giving. Lifelong enemies may be made
by the utterance of thoughtless re-
mark, and friendships that have become
ivy grown with age may be suddenly
rent asunder. On the other hand, kind
ly words, like kindly deeds, are never
thrown away, and bring unlocked for
comfort when perhaps most needed and
least expected. Our voices should be
used for the good of ourselves and our
fellow creatures; and the more careful
we are to remember this injunction, the
more we shall increase our power of in
huence over those around us.

A DISGRACEFTL VICTORY.

Cleveland Leader.
The election of the Democrats of the
buffoOn Peck, who edits coarse ''humor-
ouS'' paper in Milwaukee, as Mayor OF
that city, is one of the victories which
are far more disgraceful than defeats.
The Republican candidate stood square
ly for the admirable State law which
brings only schools in which the English
language is used for primary instruction
within the meaning of the compulsory
education act of Wisconsin. Peck and
his Bourbon hackers opposed it and were
supported by the more bigOted of the
Lutheran and Roman Catholic clergy,
who are afraid that the Amerieanizing
influences of the public schools will de-
stroy their sectarian system of education
in church schools conducted in other
languages than the common tongue of
the American people. As usual in such
cases there was an independent ticket
nominated to weaken the Republican
candidates, and the better class of Dem
ocrats denounced their party's attitude
but voted its ticket like the slavish cow
ards that this element is composed of
everywhere.
Defeat under such circumstances,
though a shame to Milwaukee, brings no
discredit upon the Republicans of that
city. Neither ought it to discourage the
Republicans of Wisconsin it its struggle
for truly American common schools.
The influences which prevailed in the
metropolis of the State, with its abnOr-
mally large foreign-bo population, will
be less potent elsewhere, and the longer
such an issue as the Bennett law is dis
cussed and kept before the people the
stronger will be the party of common
sense and the weaker will become the
forces of bigotry and narrow minded
prejudices brought to this country from
Europe. In the long run nothing can be
lost by the unwavering support of the
common school system in its best and
most thoroughly American form.

Let Us Honor John Roach.

Mahlon Chance says that the only fa-
vor he has to ask of this administration
is to have Secretary Tracy build a
mighty man-of-war, planned by that
Yankee genius which gave us the Puri-
tan and Mayflower, to be built by Amer
lean workmen out of American iron,
steel, brass, copper and wood, with sails
made in American looms, manned with
American guns and American seamen,
and, when completed, to break bottle of
American wine and christen this noble
ship John Roach, that the world might
see that America honors her industrial
princes, even as England has,

THE CHNPSTICKS

Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, in st. Nicholas for April.
"They cut their food with their dag
gers, and they eat with pitchforks!"
cried the horriied Japanese who first saw
Europeans eating in such barbaric and
revolving manner with the knife and fork.
Light fingered, deft, and initiative as
the japanese and Chinese are, it takes
them so long to learn the proper and
graceful use of the knife and fork as it
requires for us to master the evolutions
and etiquette of the chopsticks.
1t is a pretty sight, at the beginning
of Japanese or Chinese feast, to see the
host help his guests to sweets, and then
issdisplayed the best and most graceful
play of the chopsticks, One can take a
lesson, as the master of the feast daintily
lifts cakes or confections and places them
on the plate or paper before each guest.
The Chinese chopsticks are longer than
the Japanese, often metal-tipped and
decorated, and are used again and again.
Mandarins carry their own silver tipped
ivory chopSticks TO a feast, wipe them
clean, and carry them home again when
it is over. In the common restaurants
in Chinese cities, the chopsticks consti-
tute lottery for the patrons. All the
sticks are kept together in deep, round
box, and certain ones are marked on the
lower end with a Chinese character or
number The ones who select those
chopsticks from the box, are entitled to
an extra dish or portion without charge.
In the old city Of Tien-T -Tsin, particularly,
one is half deafened when he passes a
restaurant by the rafting of the boxes of
chopsticks and the shIilI voices of the
proprietors screeching the merits of their
establishments at the top of their lungs
In Japan, where exquisite neatness
and daintiness mark every part of house
hold living, the same chopsticks are used
only once. At a feast, or at an ordinary
tea-house. a long paper envelope laid be-
side ones bowl contains pair of twelve
inch sticks no thicker than lead pencils.
whitfield from clean white pine. To
show that they have never been used the
two sticks are whitfield in one piece, and
split apart only half their length.

WE all need to honor our daily pur-
suits more than we dO-to realize that,
if we follow them honestly and earnest
ly, their best results can never be taken
from US. This would take the sting out
of much that we call failure. No one
who has done his best can ever wholly
fail. He has that stored up within him
which is of more value than many trans
lent successes. If, as Byron tells us,
"they never fall who die in a great
certain it is that they too never
fail who live in the energetic and per-
severing pursuit of whatever is good or
true or useful to mankind.
