Great Faith.

A melancholy case was brought to
light over in Brooklyn the other day
when man was taken to court on the
charge of neglecting TO provide for his
family. He solemnly asseverated that
he carried home all the money he earned.
Being further questioned, he admitted
that his sole means of livelihood was
serving as juror, and that he only got
chance to prosecute his vocation about
once year This is sometimes scoffed
at as the age of the decadence of faith.
But think of the faith which this poor
man has exercised day after day and
year after year! Is it any wonder if he
has sometimes doubted whether, after
all, trial by jury is the palladium of our
liberties?
Certainly he were to be pardoned il
questionings and suspicious sometimes
arose in his mind. Still the calm wings
Of his faith scared above such petty
things, and he faced the future with con-
fdence. AS a family provider, though, it
is plain that such person has serious
drawbacks. But there's no denying his
faith. 1t might not be able to remove
mountains, but it would not hesitate at
fair sized hill.-New York Tribune.

The readers of Harper'S Magazine
who chance To reside in the city OF
Buenos Ayres will not be unduly flat
tered by Theodore Child's impressions
of 1.-The Argentine Capital" as record
ed in his article to appear in the March
number of that periodical At the
close of his entertaining description of
the South American metropolis, he
says: THE impression that the city
and its sociological phenomena make
upon one is wholly and repeatedly that
of coarse and brutal materialism. There
seems to be no poetry, no sentiment, no
generosity in the life of its citizens;
there is nothing amiable, witty, or at
tractive in the exterior aspect of men
and of things. On the one hand you
see the race for wealth in all the crudi-
ty of INSCRIPTIONS speculation and
cynical malversation of public funds;
and on the other hand, the ostenta-
tious display of wealth in the grossest
manifestations of vulgar luxury"

H~<w the Place Of Residence Affects the
Dignity and Worth OF the Name.
What then are the means Of perpetu-
ating good family stocks in a democracy
The first is country life. In this regard
democracies have much to learn from
the European aristocracies which have
proved to be durable. All the vigorous
aristocracies of past centuries lived in
the country large part of the year.
The men were soldiers and sportsmen
for the most part. and lived on detached
estates sparsely peopled by an agricult-
ural and martial tenantry. They were
oftener in camp than in the town or city.
Their women lived in castles, halls or
chateaux in the open country almost the
whole year. and their children were born
and brought up there. The aristocraic
and noble families of modern Europe
still have their principal seats in the
country and go to town only for few
months of the year.
Next, a permanent family should have
permanent dwelling place, domicile,
or home town. In older societies this
has always been the case. Indeed, a
place often lent its name to family. In
American cities and large towns there
are as yet no such things as permanent
family houses. Even in the Oldest cities
of the east hardly any family lives in a
single house through the whole Of one
generation, and it is very rare that two
tuccessive generations are born in the
same house.
Rapid changes of residence are the
rule for almost everybody, so that a city
directory which is more than one year
old is Enthusiastically for home addresses.
It is almost impossible for the human
mind to attribute dignity and social con-
sideration to family which lives in a
hotel or which moves into new fat
every LIST of May. In the country,
however, things are much better. In
the older states there are plenty Of fami-
lies which have inhabited the same town
for several generations; there are few
families which have inhabited the same
house for three generations.
The next means of promoting family
permanence is the transmission Of fam
lily business or occupation from father to
sons Ir all old countries this inherit
ance Of a trade. shop or profession is a
matter Of course. Under right condi-
tons, transmitted business tends to
make sound family more secure and
permanent, and a permanent family
tends to hold and perfect valuable
business. This principle, which is Sc
curely founded on biological law, APP
plies best in the trades and professions,
in ordinary commerce, and in the in
dustries which do not require immense
capital; but in Europe many vast indus
tries and many great financial and mer-
camille concerns are family properties,
and there is in our own country already
a distinct tendency to this family man
agement of large businesses as being
more economical and vigilant than cor
porate management, and more discern
ing and prompter in picking out and ad-
vancing capable men of all grades
