The Superiority of American Peace Owe

The Superiority of American Peace Over
European War Rule.
Minneapolis Tribune.
The superiority of American over Euro
pean civilization is told in this: While
Europe drains itself and piles up deb and
taxes to make and feed destructive armies
and navles. the United States develops her
resources in the creation of industries and
inventions. schools and churches. cities
and homesteads. With the smallest army
and navy on the civilized globe we have
nearly one-half of the worlds clearing
third of its steam power and telegraph
wires. and as many churches. schools and
newspapers as any three other ma
tiope. Tho United States has q standing
pers, Russia, 500. 600 soldiers and 500 news
papers. The United States has 1000 in her
navy and TO- O0. 600 in her Sunday-schools:
France 5000 in it's navy and $1,000 in the
Sunday-schools. The United States spends
$50, 600. 900 annually on the army and navy
Britain, S149, 900. 200 on the army and navy
and $33, 600, 900 on the schools. The United
States has an armed strength of %. 000 sol
diers and sailors and O 5000 teachers;
$4,000 teachers. In every million of
States 4so contestants, 275 news
papers, 1900 college students and 2O0, 900
school children; In Europe. 10000 combat
aud $4,000 school children. On every
500 Of earnings Russia spends in military
expenses &c. SO; Italy. $3.50; France. 1919;
Great Britain. s2.24, and the United States
66 cents. The national debt of France is
four times. of Italy three times. and of
Great Britain and Russia more than double
that of the United States. In the national
struggle for existence education, religion
and industry beat war debts, war waste
end war taxes. If the old world would
keep up in the race, her standing armies
must become what naval warfare and the
American army have become-mcstly q
memory.

On the 14th of June Mira Harriet Beecher
Stowe will round out q full fourscore of
years. Last week / saw her walking along
9 prettily shaded lane near her home in
Hartford. No one would know the author
of Uncle Toms Cabin as she is to-day
from her pictures. Time has made It's
greatest inroads upon the face and brain.
Wrinkles there are in numbers. yet the
face 10 q bright one. A1d theeyes still retain
some of their old-time lustre and sparkle.
But the mind has ceased to do it's bidding.
Her bodily health is superb. and each fair
day sees her taking long walks. although
she 10 always accompanied by an attend
ant. No one outside of her family and
~neighbors see her. for the least thing out
side of her quiet daily routine excitss her
and brings on almost complete exhaustion.
She can no longer concentrate her thoughts
for more than a few moments upon any one
topic. and her two devoted daughters let
her find her pleasure in those things which
appeal most TO her. Her appetite is vigor-
our, her nights know no sleepless hours,
and but for the lapses of the mind Harriet
Beecher Stowe would doubtless still. at
eighty, be sitting with her pen in hand.

Wellesley's domestic Science" Course.
New York Evening Post
The indirect value of the course in Guilt
waiting q scientific attitude of mind towards
domestic questions will no doubt prove as
great az its direct value. The principal
trouble with women as the controlling ele-
ment in domestic matters has always been
the unsolentific point of view of the aver
age or typical feminine mind. A great
mystery for the mystiication of masculine
critics has always been evolved about these
matters, and the intuitive rather than the
inductive method has been Loyalty upheld
as the only practical one, which, of course,
. man in his ignorance could not be ex-
pected Ito understand. AS Cynical Bar.le

The Baby Sings Annie Rooney.

Gainesville Letter 70 Atlanta Constitution.
Charley, the eighteen-months-old son Of
DIR. e. A. Ryder. of this city. Is indeed q
musical prodigy. At fifteen months old it
was discovered that he possessed q remark
able talent for music, and even az this ten
der age. and while able to pronounce but a
few words of one syllable. he could hum
correctly the little lullaby tunes that his
mother or nurse would sing to him when
rocking him to sleep. He has now quite q
repertoire and, although he cannot talk
plainly, he carries the airs of Annie
Rooney" Sweet By and By" and several
other popular melodies correctly. He knows
the songs by name. and will sing them,
either when accompanied by the piano or
alone, when asked to do so.
