What They Don't Like.

Our compact and interesting letter from
the Mantle summer school for teachers
had in 1t whole sermon in that one quo
tation from teacher that "there want
but one way of larnin young ones any
thing and that was to give 'em what they
didn't like" What picture 1t offers OF
the way some people regard children, and
the sort Of people who sometimes secure
positions as teachcrsl That the senti-
ment as expressed bristles with errors Of
grammar does not, unfortunately, prove
that o teacher did not utter 1t verbatim.
But the essence of the whole thing Is in
that notion Of giving EN- what they
don't like" as means or education. 1t is
the philosophy Of life for some people.
They go about, as a moral ard religious
/ duty, taking the happiness out Of other
peoples lives for their good, choosing the
disagreeable where choice enters, and
turning to the left in crowd because
the others turn to the right. "rhey give
'em what they don't like" and know it's
the right thing because those who get II
"don't like IL" tits a pitiful way Of
looking at things, and it doesn't belong
in the Nineteenth century, but it is still
to be found and when found 1t cannot be
cured. Hartford Courant.

Art Of window Dressing.

The shop windows have put on their
last persuasive touches as the season
wanes. The milliners' windows look like
aviaries in which bonnets and hats are
perched like birds of gay plumage, But
nothing is done to attract the feminine
eye more slSillfully than that which allures
the men. The artistic possibilities of
neckties are shown in many ways One
enterprising dealer has hung his entire
window in deep indigo neckties splotched
with spots and waving lines, The lllu,
sion is Of very deepsea aspect and very
taking. On another street red and blue
shirts are made effective by displaying
them in lines so that the bars of color
shall tell for all they are worth.
The art of window dressing we have
learned from the French Two things
are necessary, a sense of color in masses
and by contrast and al appreciation of
the value of forms repeated. These
Americans are getting, and it marks
progress on the way to becoming an artis-
tic people. A glove shop and place for
women's gear is q case in point. The
window is laid in black On small raised
stands are long black silk stockings
folded with hanging ends, and on each of
these are perched long, yellow kid gloves
knotted exactly in the same way. Above
these, which suggest, by the way, pre-
Raphaelite flowers in foreground, arc
black knitted silk vests, hanging like
banners between the long yellow gloves
which have the effect of streamers. lr
the center of all is another vest, crossed
by magnificent pair of yellow emhroid
cred CATERS. The window, with its re
iterated yellow and black, might serve
for an Austrian rally.--New York Press

Chief among the new features Is promised
a place where thirsty and bibulous men may
drink unnoticed by fair passengers This Is
all right as far as masculinity is concerned
But in this perfecting Of the meanH OF
travelling the fair sex should receive re-
membrance. A car wherein women may
enjoy more privacy in the dressing room
Is needed quite as much as car that
holds the counterpart Of hotel bar room.
Men love to drink unseen Of women, no less
than women hope to ''fix up unseen OF men
Ito Use brush and comb in place sacred to
their own sex, The average sleeping cur
holds no such place, and the car perfect in
this respect has not yet appeared Dressing
at the rate of forty miles an hour possesses
for femininity many emborrassments not yet
eliminated by the ingenious designers and
builders of the modern railroad car.--Pitts.

The marrageable young ladies in aristo-
cratic French families are often at a loss as
to how they are to employ the time between
the final departure from the converts or tho
boarding schools ard the arrival of tho
bridegroom. The bals.blancs, the daily
rides, walks and drives in the Bots; the oc.
casional visits to the theatre and the opera,
the courses Of water color drawing, Or tho
matutinal manipulation Of the inevitable
piano are not enough to I'LL up the leisure
hours Of French young ladydom,

cool heads now, bat | suppose if you asked
any one of us who were his friends, to
tell YOU how this Bone went to the bad, he
could not do it without tears. He was so
clever, so unselfish, SO gentle, so bright, it
seems mystery to this day how he could
have gone the road he did. He did not
lack for friends, but there are some situa-
tions in life in which friends cannot help a
man. He had lad a great victory that
year, he said to us laughing, he had been
himself for months and he would pass
through Christmas with credit and then
present himself with medal. And then
be would make us the speech he intended
to make to himself when he would present
it, and set us all roaring with laughter
But he didn't pass through that Christmas,
nor any other. We missed him from the
office one morning and we understood at
Sonce what was the trouble-he had not, nor
had ever had, any other trouble. In day
Oh two he came by and with excited glee
told us the medal presentation had been
postponed ION account of the inclemency
of the weather'-how l recollect all his
little last sayings! 1t was Christmas eve
that some of us Went to the Hospital to
look after him-he had been carried there.
He had been delirious all the evening, the
house surgeon said, and had been repeating
what he took to be a speech, but was more
quiet then. He was quiet for a little while,
but we could hear him repeating to him
self monotonously, in an undertone, "a
speech. 1t was portions of the address
Ato himself that he had recited to us, and
that he intended to make on getting
through the Christmas safely. One sentence
neither /, nor any of us I think. have ever
forgotten, for he continually repeated it,
Gentlemen; you see this weather beaten
bark safe in harbor." Safe in harbor A
little after midnight he sailed out upon the
ocean of Eternity. God grant that upon
the other side, on that December night. that
weather beaten bark came safe into
harbor.'

POLITICAL NOTES.

Senator Palmer of Illinois. says: "Ihe
election of Mckinley was due to the unfor-
tunate silver plank in the platform of the
Democratic party in Ohio, to Campbell's
private misfortunes and to the enormous
amount of money which the Republicans
used in the campaign. The Importance of
the silver plank IN the State platform was
exaggerated to the greatest extreme, and
all through the campaign the tariff issue
was lost sight CT. Oh at least was second
airy matter. John Sherman S reputation as
a tinancier had a good deal to do with the
result. His campaign on the money ques-
ton tended greatly to detract attention
from the tariff issue. y
Henry Cabot Lodge of Mass, the puta-
tive author Of Johnny Davenport Force
Bill of last winter, thinks ''the Significance
of the result in Massachusetts is serious.
After all allowance has been made for Gov.
Russell S great popularity, we shall have to
fight as we never have fought before to
keep Massachusetts. as we can keep her. in
