1t is said that public reader Of some
repute, making tour through the west,
happened TO have an audience one night
in South Dakota town whose ''hus-
Ting" spirit created a demand for any
thing from Sunday dog fights to lectures
on aesthetics. The house was packed
and the readers efforts were followed
with marked attention. Several selec-
tons had been well received, when some
of the shorter poems of Arnold were an
nounced
Probably few Of the auditors knew who
Matthew Arnold was or what to expect
from the nextnumber on the programme.
but they had been hearing some good old
soul stirring verses, and interest was
keyed to high pitch. 1t CHANGED that
the reader started with Youths Agita-
TONS beginning, When l shall be d.
vorced, some 10 years hence He
paused for breath, and in an instant a
voice in the gallery shouted: Ten years!

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
has been in Washington recently. He
says the next session Of Congress is
likely to be mighty interesting. He
expects the extra session to begin early
IN October He thinks there will be
more interest, earnestness and deter
mlnation in the fight over silver than
any other question programmed to
come up. The strongest way in which
10 present the proposition for the re-
peal Of the Sherman act is. in bis opin-
ION, to present it as single question,
not incumbered by anything else. To
couple with it the proposition for the
repeal Of the State bank tax would
lose to it most of the republican votes.
whereas it would have, it is estimated
about 120 Of the votes of the republi-
cans in the House for it if presented
alone. Mr.. Lodge ha. much greater
confidence Of the repeal of the Sher-
man law by the House than he has of
similar action by the Senate. In the
Senate it is estimated that ten or
twelve republicans will vote against
repeal, and it is problematical how
many democrats the administration
will be able to influence to vote for the
repeal.

A New York enthusiast has started a
crusade agains: the custom. SO universal
In this country, of treating" 1t differs
IRON most crssades in that it is not pri-
marily directed toward the lower, but the
higher, strata of society.
The scheme is now but an idea; its pro-
moter expects to resolve ii into fashion.
and ultimately into a custom. 1t now has
taken the form of "An Appeal To the
Public" as follows:
Drinking over bar is the curse of our
country and the American custom of treat
ing has made thousands and thousands of
drunkards. All day long men drink just
because they are asked to, and because
they think social courtesy demands it.
The result is au enforced expenditure OF
money which can be little afforded, and
q night spent In dissipation followed by a
day OF necessary stimulation. This sort of
thing, kept up night after night because it
is considered the correct thing, has been
the cause of many young mans ruin.
Few of the young men of strong
character and great moral force are blessed
with wealth, while, unfortunately. many
of those who set the pace are naturally
weak and deprsved. 1t is the large sums
of money that can be aud are spent by this
latter class that are running the young men
of our country to-day. The greatest hsne
of the custom Of treating lies in the fact
that the possession OF money alone makes
leaders of men whose influence J. had and
whose example l. most demoralzlne
at l. usual In other countries for each
man TO pay for what be himself drink.
aud il will be much better for the men Of
our own country. both from physical and
financial standpoint, II u csn hr made a

Substantial Studies Better Than Fads.

An honest education in the primary
branches is all the public schools should
beexpected to give. As it is, there is dis
position to divert the pupils from substan-
tial studies to fads that tend to defeat the
main object of the public school system.
By giving them smattering of a dozeu
things they are deprived of useful knowl-
edge that can be easily impaired in the
schools and sent out into the world i'm
perfectly equipped, when they might
have been supplied with knowledge that
would have been useful to them in every
item.-Pittsburg Press.
