The Republicans Will ( Q Glad to See
Him In His Seat Again.
WASHINGTON, Sept S.-The republicans
will be glad to see Speaker Reed in the chair
again. Representative Burrows has proved
failure from lack of backbone at critical
moments. He has proved entirely unequal
to the Kennedy Quay situation, the prob
lens of which he has held up for Speaker
Reed, Mr.. Kennedy still withholding his
speech, and Senator Quay still holding his
tongue. Another matter for Speaker Reed
to decide is the sort of filibuster-
ing which is now called the Billy
Mason brand, because it was first used by
the Chicago statesman in. the attempt to
defeat the compound lard bill. Speaker
Reed let Mr.. Mason take his followers out
into the lobby so as to break a quorum as
much as he pleased, but now that the demo-
Gratis are trying the same methods to keep
OFF the Langston- Venable election contest
Speaker Reed may discover some way of

Who Was Lord Chesterfleld's sonq

To turn to that feature in Lord Chester
fields life which has impressed itself
most strongly on the world at large-his
relations with his son--we find that, for
the last quarter of his life, Lord Chester
field lived almost entirely for his son (the
issue of a liaison with French woman
of the name of Du Bouchet). This young
person is much to be pitied. He is one
Of the most eminent victims of parental
ambition, the determination that is, to
make a son what you think you would
like him to be, not that he was born to
be. What Philip Stanhope might have
been, we need not waste our time in
guessing. Nothing very striking, prob
ably. At best he seems to have shown
signs of being an inferior Gibbon; his
father is always telling him that he
spends too much time over his books, so
that probably he had real taste for cru
dition. But that was not at all Lord
Chesterfed's idea of man. "The clois-
tered pedant, "the illiberal pedant," is
the object of his unceasing scorn. He
determined that his son should lead the
same sort of life that he had led, but be
SO much more successful in that he should
have had the advantage of all Lord Ches-
terfield's experience.
Unfortunately, the scheme of educa-
ton which he devised was far from well
adapted 10 carry out these ideas. At
its root thorc was a fundamental error.
Lord Chesterfield held a theory. of which
he flattered himself he was living ex-
ample, that everything except poetry can
be acquired, and, as in one place he
thanks God that neither he nor his son
was born to be a poet, for practical pur-
poses he may be said to have believed
that everything, not merely facts, but
feelings, not only outward habits, but
frames of mind, only waited for vigor-
Gus will to summon them and take pos
session. This was radical error of his,
but he believed it with all his heart and
soul. 1t is wrong, but nevertheless it
may be a highly useful lesson to teach
while the mind is in its acquisitive stage.
Then it may act as powerful stimulus,
but it may be abused, and Lord Chester
field certainly abused it.-Temple Bar.

Testing the Hardness of Waters.

a rapid method for ascertaining the
amount of lime and sodium carbonate
necessary to soften hard water has
been devised by NJ. L, Vignon. 1t gives
satisfactory results in waters which do
not contain large quantity of magne-
sium chloride or sulphate. He employs a
standard solution of lime for titrating the
water, using an alcoholic solution of phe-
ol-phthalein as an indicator. The volume
of lime water added is a measure of the
lime required to combine with the free
carbonic acid present in the water, and
that necessary to convert the hydrogen
calcium carbonate and hydrogen magne-
sium carbonate into insoluble salts. On
filtering off the precipitate formed in this
way from 100 C. c. of the water under
examination, the filtrate is titrated with
a solution of sodium carbonate contain
ing one gram per liter, phenol-phthalein
again being used to indicate the end of
of the reaction. The amount of sodium
carbonate required will give the quan-
tity of salts of calcium and magnesium
other than acid carbonate present in the
water,-Industries
