For the EAGLE.
THE WORLD IS GROWING BETTER

While walking in pleasant reverie upon the
streets one day,
| heard one of Ewes fair daughters to her fair
sister say,
This great wicked world is growing worse and
worse each year.
How harshly these discordant words fell upon
my ear.
The world is growing better: there is less greed
for gain,
More seeking for a better life and less for empty
fame,
Less shame and Judas kisses, and more unset
fish lives;
Less following giddy fashion, more love for
sweet home ties.
The gospel light has broken through the shades
of moral night;
White robed truth triumphant stands, an IN
failing light;
The gospel in its purity is preached in every
land
Through mans unselfsh love for his fellow
man.
Sweet charity walks forth at morning, noon
and night,
Clasped to her loving breast mantle of pure
white
Ready to enfold some weak erring one,
Or shield some dropping form from the wither-
Ing AlOO4-utig sun.
The world is growing better, all nature pro-
claims;
The sweet birds fit on lighter wing and sing
in merrier strains.
Because there areless cruel darts TO wound their
tender breasts
Because there are less ruthless hands to rob
the sweet home nest.
The flowers proudly lift their heads and wear
a brighter bloom;
They seem to have an added grace and yield
richer perfume,
Because there are less careless hands to pluck
them from the stems,
And rudely tear them leaf from leaf and scat
ter TO the winds.
The purple hills and grassy slopes have gained
richer hue,
The peaceful sky that DER US bends seems
more heavenly blue,
The moon looks down, with smiling face, from
out the starry dome,
Charmed with the beauty and the grace of our
fair earthly home.
I know that this earth is not paradise,
For hearts are breaking every day through,
cruelty and vice;
] know sin ever lies in wait, our souls to fetter,
But believe, that year by year, the world is
growing better.

Etiquette IN the Reign of Louis NV.

-A0uSbIo Al Ing ASelSh Oh LOUIS NV
The etiquette which prevailed at Yer
sallles was Of themost infinitely elaborate
character, and governed every movement
Of the king and those about him from
the very moment he opened his august
eyes until he closed them in sleep. He
was the center of the whole; it was a
drama, daily repeated-the same charac-
ter3, the same scenes, the same details
oppressive IN its sameness, fatiguing in
its constant pressure.
Ihave neither the space nor the inclina-
ton TO dwell on all the extraordinary
ceremonial of the state dinner; the TWEEN
ty or thirty grandees futtering around
the kings plates and glasses; the sacra-
mental utterances OF the occasion: the
gaudy procession Of the reunue; the ar
rival of Ia nef-that Is, the center piece
ofplate which contained, between scented
cushions, the kings napkins, and Pessai
des plats-the tasting of each dish by the
gentlemen servants and officers Of the
table before the king partook Of it.
The same custom was observed with
the beverages. 1t took four persons TO
serve the king with glass Of wine and
water. Well might Frederick the Great,
on hearing an account Of all TINS tyranny
of etiquette, exclaim, that if he We're king
of France his first edict would be to ap-
point another king TO hold court in his
place.-Al the Year Round.

BEDS AND SLEEPERS.

There is an interesting discussion in
progress among certain medical journals
arising from a dispute upon the subject
of beds and their occupants. The ques-
ton as to whether people ought to sleep
alone or two or more in a bed is being
vigorously fought over. The Lancet of
London lays down the precept: mo
two persons. TO matter who they are,
should habitually sleep together. The
one will thrive, the other will lose. This
is the law" The Lancet further believes
that the two-in-a-bed custom Invariably
brings about loss of nervous force"
1t has long been known, however, that
when two active small boys share the
same couch there is a perceptible gain in
nervous force. So the Laucet's argu-
ment may not hold good in all cases.
The subject is indeed largely a mat
ter of taste and comfort. Probably
most people prefer to sleep alone 4
number do not. There is a record in
Irish fiction of a trooper whose merriest
recollection was of 4 night when he and
his comrades slept SWIM IN q bed and
two acrost the foot and all were happy.
We are only sure Of the accuracy of
the Lancets position when we see the
discomforts of those who have made
their beds without regard TO the fact
that others may climb IN and make real
rest impossible. Politically applied-its
an old saw that politics makes strange
bed-fellows-we think this last sugges-
ton contains pointer for the Kansas
Democracy. for Notwithstanding the
formal announcement by the party edi-
tors, who have assumed to speak for the
party, that there is to be no doubling up,
the Irish trooper incident Is going to be
eXempliiied in numerous instances in
Kansas during the pending campaign.

The Ancient ssInes of L.suripm.

United States Consul Manate, at
Athens, IN a recent report on Greek min
ing and metallurgy, enters into the his
tory of the subject in an interesting
manner.
The mines OF Laurium, now worked
for zinc, lead and iron, are, he says, the
very mines from which Themistocles
drew the silver supply TO fit out his fleet
and beat back the Persian invader at
Slamis (490-4S0 3. c., and so to lay the
foundations of the Athenian hegemony.
More than this, it is thought probable
that the Phoenicians delyed here before
the Greeks came, as they are known to
have done in the Island of ThasoS.
At any rate, Thoricus was a free city
before Theseus welded the Attic Dor
oughs into a single commonwealth THAT
Is to say, before the name of Athens ap-
peared in history and its Importance
must have been due to the mines; SO that
the mining industry at Laurium may
possibly boast an origin as remote as
thirty centuries back, while it is again
in full blast today.
In walking through the French COM
pany's great mine at Camaresa, in the
heart of the Laurium region, one ira
verses here a gallery in active exploita-
ton for zinc and lead and hard by an
other worked out by the old Greeks two
or three thousand years ago. These an
cient works are among the most inter
esting monuments Of Hellenic civiliza-
ton

Initiation OF a Fresh Young Man From

Horace Greeley once said. "Ot ali
horned cattle deliver me from the col
lege graduate who wants TO break into
journalism" The commencement sea-
son had hardly opened, but the advance
guard Of the graduate crop walked into
, the city editors room the other day, ex-
hibited his college diploma, said that he
had written several pieces for the
county paper" and asked for q chance
to show what he could do. Like all
writers of his class he did not want a
salary so much as no wanted an oppor-
tunity to jump right into the middle Of
journalism. The annual vacation sea-
son had left the city force short handed,
and the editor decided To try the new
man.
Go down to the Illinois Central depot
right away" he said. "and see what
there Is in case Of mayhem there. |

some one telephOned me few minutes
ago that there was a case Of mayhem at

depot employees about the case. and il

tigate the matter thoroughly"
Two hours later the would be- journal
ist reported at the Office with "a very

"Well, what was there in that case"
asked the editor.
II do not know, sir, replied the new
reporter.

DEMOCRATIC BUNCoMBE.

After all the gush and palaver and
high-sounding resolves given off by the
Democratic editors at their Topeka jam
boree, it is very evident that it was only
a sort of child's play tit-for-tat with the
Alliance crowd that had formally pro-
nounced against fusion. Judge Martin,
the chief mogul of the Democracy of the
state, was asked by a Topeka Journal
representative, Wednesday, whether the
Democratic editors meant what they said
when they declared against fusion:
''Well." he said, that depends upon
circumstances. Where anything is to be
gained by fusion | should not lie sur
prised to find that our people would go
in with the Alliance if they can get an
equal show" That the policy of fusion
will 90 right on uninterrupted there is
little doubt And the methods will be
as heretofore: the strongest crowd in
locality will take the lead, and the
choice fruit, giving the others such por-
ton as they want them to have. Oh,
yes, the Kansas Democracy is going to
stand upon its record and fight for its
principles this time-just Ike it always
