The EpidemiC of Liberty.

The idea embed ed in American insti-
buttons is the most radical that ever took
the concrete shape of legislation. We
may say, without being charged with
boastful spirit, that we have on the
whole the best government on thaplanet.
That is to say, the government which
offers the largest opportunities and pro-
duces the greatest amount of content
ment and I'roEPerty.
IL Is a good thing for 100000 of our
citizens to visit Europe every summer in
order to compare the condition of affairs
abroad with that enjoyed at home. And
it Is safe to assert Jhatn man can travel
il England or Germany or Russia or
Italy without reaC hing the proud cOnclu-
sion that the American flag represents
more popular rights and a more advanced
political economy than any other stripof
bunting that floats in the breeze. The

Escaped Lion Caught by an Elephant.

An exciting and remarkable scene oc-
CURED yesterday at Barnsley, where
Days menagerie is being exhibited.
The manager states that about o'clock
Bartlett, the keeper, accidentally left the
door of cage containing young lions IN
fastened. Bartlett was afterward sur
prised to see one of the lions loose. Hap
PLY no spectators were in the show at
the time. The keeper Immediately armed
himself and sent for aid Blank car
tridges We're fired to keep the lion at bay.
Luckily, it came within reach of a power
full elephant named Jumbo II, who was
fenced off by means of ropes and stakes
in one corner of the show. The elephant
seized the lion with his trunk round the
body, and placing his foot upon him
held him down. The keepers. who had
secured ropes, noosed them. and putting
them on the lions legs secured and
dragged him into the cage. -Westmin-

Harm and Eruditi0n.

There is popular fallacy among par
ents that harmony means erudition, and
erudition Of so aIstruse nature as to be
quite beyond the reach of the every day
child and to be reserved for the later
years after he Is grown up, if undertaken
at all. and then chiefly when the youth
or maiden has what Is called talent :"
All. the much abused word, How glad
ly would all artists Danish it from the
vocabulary and from the ears of the
American child! Harmony is only gram
mar. and grammar Of such an entertain
ing kind that if rightly presented it is
fascinating. and Of a nature so essential
that the musical nonpossessor of it,
young or old, is crippled.-Harper's Ba-

Did Mr.. Kelly Do Right?

Did Mr.. John Kelly do the right thing,
or did he do the wrong thing, yet the
only thing possible under the circum-
stances? According to his story he was
dining in a restaurant with a woman
when the latter complained of the too
manifest admiration of two elderly men
who sat at table near. Kelly was
about to demonstrate when, so he says,
they got up and, on pretense Of looking
at a picture which hung over the table,
one of them addressed a remark to his
companion. Mr.. Kelly smote the in
truder between the eyes, breaking his
glasses, and was arrested. 1t is a repeti-
ton of Guy de Maupassant's story Of
"The Coward" over again, except that
Mr.. Kelly was courageous. But what
was he to do: A cat may look at king.

looking was Objectionable, what was

Exp.nsive Experiment..

1t cost the people of the United States
about $685. in couple of hours the
other day to settle in the minds of the
officers of the ordnance bureau whether
some armor plates made by the Carnegie
and Bethlehem steel works respectively
were as good as they ought to be. 1t
was found that they were, and what
that means can be imagined when one
of the plates was II inches thick, weighed
81 tons. and was attacked by shells
weighing $50 pounds each, the last ones
fired from 70 inch gun at distance of
only $40 feet, striking it with the force
needed TO move mass of 81 900 tons, or
100000 pounds, through a foot Of
space. The projectile went through.
We take it that that did not surprise
even the experts, who are used to think
ing about those inconceivable masses
and velocities. But what did surprise
them was that the hole it made was
nearly as clean as if it had been drilled.
and that not crack appeared about its
edges Though this particular projec-
tile was lost-having been DETECTED and
fallen into the Potomac-the other pro
jectiles which penetrated the same plate
were found in perfect condition and st
to be used again. Thdt seem almost
more marvellous than the perfection OF
the plate.
Meanwhile the people of New York
may take some satisfaction in knowing
that down at Sandy Hook the war de-
partInent has inst mounted a gun that
will throw 1000 pound projectile and
make hole in the heaviest armorclad
ship now afoat at distance of six
miles. If we must spend money on what
we hope are purely peaceful experiments,
it is comfort to know what we get for
it.-Harpers Weekly.

DR.. Wilson has reported a case
like the foregoing. each week or two.

DR.. Wilson has noticed n Scnseless
TRADE against him by Young firm

effect that he would notice this baby
firm no more in print. Today he
says the same thing. 1t i no pleas

DR., Wilson has business interests
at stake in this state. The blowing

DR.. Wilson wishes to announce
TO the general public that his diplo-

which they assaulted the Scott Medi-

proof, which we have held in our
possession for months. that
would make them beat a hastv re-

DIR. Wilson'S plan has always been

Two Strau &c Brothers.

1t had always been the habit in the
Ward family if two relatives differed
strongly to arrange not to be on speaking
terms. DR.. William G.. Ward was once
asked how much he had known of his ia
theirs first cousin, Sir Henry Ward. He
replied quite gravely: Il only saw him
twice-once as a boy, when he came to
see my father, and then again l had an
interview with him about a matter of
business soon after l came into my prop
erty. We arranged at the end of it not
to be on speaking terms" quite a super
fous arrangement, as Sir Henry Ward
lived at that time in Ceylon, of which he
was governor, anC in fact never came
again to England for prolonged visit
DR.. Ward and his brother Henry had
been estranged for year or so. and one
night they met at the Haymarket thea
ter. Each of them had for the moment
quite forgotten the quarrel, and friendly
greetings passed, and they had a talk
about the play. Next morning came a
letter from Henry Ward:
DEAR WILLAM-Il the hurry Of the mo
ment tonight l quite forgot that we had ar
ranged to meet as strangers, and l write this
lest you should misu lderstand me, TO say that
think we had better adhere TO on - rrange-
ment, and I remain, dear William. your affec-
tionate brother, HENRY WARD
DR.. Ward replied:
DEAR HENRY, too. had forgotten our ar
rangement. l agree with you that we had bet
ter keep to it, and l remain your affectionate
brother, w. G.. WARD.

THE LEGEND OF EVIL.
mis- is the sorro xful story

This is the sorro wful story
Told when the twilight fails,
And the MONKEYS walk together
Holding each others tails:
'.0ur fathers lived in the forest;
Foolish people were they,
They went down to the cortland
To teach the farmers to play.
"Our fathers frisked In the niIlet,
Our fathers skipped in the wheat
Our fathers hun in the branches,
Our fathers danced in the street.
''Then came the terrible farmers.
Nothing Of play they knew.
Only they caught our fathers
And set them TO labor tool
''Set them to work in the cortland,
With plows and sickles and fails:
Put them in mudwallcd prisons
And cut off IL cir beautiful tails,
"Now we can watch our fathers,
Sullen and DO wed and old,
STOPPING over ne millet,
Stirring the lly mold.
Arriving fool sh furrow,
Mending a muddy yoke,
Sleeping in mudwaIled prisons,
Sleeping their food in smoke.
I'VE may not speak TO our fathers,
For If the farmers knew
They would come up to the forest
And set Us to labor toO.''
This is the horrible story
Told as the twilight fails,
As the monkey walk together
Holding each others tails.

With the exception of Lord Caring
ton (who did very well indeed) the Off

dukes wedding appeared to be very i'm
perfect in their parts, and it is a wonder
that no accident took place. 1t was odd
indeed to see a number of aristocratic
personages walking backward with the
appearance of being saturated with the
most slavish servility, but even more
grotesque and remarkable were the con-
slant and profound bowings and scrap

keys aspire to be gentlemen there are
gentlemen who ask nothing better than
