The Art of Getting On.

The best equipment that either men
or women could have is definite knowl-
edge, II 1t be only OF one thing. The first
question l ask those who come to me
for advice, says a writer in Lippin-
colts, Is: What can you do?" II the
answer is-as 1t almost invariably
proves to be-"Anything," my heart
hlls with despair for the applicant. In
the m~oney-making world anything"
means nothing" 1t is overrun with a
vast army of incapables ready to rush
in and undertake Anything" What is
needed Is some one who can do some
thing as opposed TO any one who can
do anything. Competency is the only
equipment that is worth anything now
adays.

in the letter headed Queer Things In Natural
Names shows an exceedingly unusual knowledge
OF Uruguay. yet he seems to have fallen into
some errors. Uruguay gets the term 'oriental.'
n1 from its having been the easternmost OF the
colonies OF Spain but. from Its situation with
reference to the Uruguay River. In Uruguay
and the Argentine, Uruguay is known as the
Banda Oriental Literally. the eastern bank or
shore). which has come down as Mr.. o'Brien
says. from generation to generation. The full
oficial title OF Uruguay is ''Republica Oriental
del Uruguay the republic east Of the Uruguay
(RIver). and Is found on all coins, &C.. Of that
salubrious country. When I was In Montevideo
and Buenos Ayres. 1885. they were beginning to

The Lords Day.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
| would like to suggest to "A Sabbath Keeper
the propriety OF reading more closely church his
tory. and particularly the New Testament scrip
lures, for l am persuaded that he. or she. will
find that the primitive Christians observed the
first day OF the week lords day to commemor-
ate the death and resurrection Of the Christ, and
on that day they partook Of bread and wine.
This practice OF the Apostles and disciples ante
dates the Roman Catholic Sunday holiday. The
Jews, according to their law. observed the
seventh day until Christ. by his death. abolished
the law. The divine command to rest after labor
Ing six days is lust as binding to day as ever,
and all Christians obey the law by abstaining from
labor every seventh day. For convenience OF
Christians all observe the first day OF the week.

These Water sharks Not Gudgcon1
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
I like the way one OF the New York morning
paper calls us names. It was hard to swallow
when at Fire Island we were called ''cIam-dig-
gers" Now when the "Persian Monarch goes
ashore we are spoken OF as shell backs" It was
also stated that the old water sharks laughed and
seemed disappointed when they got the vessel
on. That is absolutely false. Have the people OF
New York an idea that we arc a lot Of savages
and delight in s~hipwreck and loss OF life and
property Let me tell you that shell-backs or
clam-diggers as we are, some OF our ''old water
sharks can give the New York land sharks cards
and spades and then beat them out. We don't
buy green-goods, and we are never done up.

The latest fad in fancy work is to
make table covers out of cigar ribbons.
They are made like a crazy quilt. using
the ribbons for the patches. or course,
the ribbons are cut SO that when they
are sewed together they maxi ar irreg-
ular design. Thu idea is a pretty one,
and you can have no conception Of the
beauty Of a cover so made until you

A School-HOuse Tumbling Down.

To the Editor:
I would like to know II you or any Of the
many readers OF the Evening World could In

planning of insufficient school accommodation,
and yet this building has been out OF use for a

impart to me why this should be so It would be

Gov. Flower Jumps the late New York
Bipartisan Police Commission bill with
three measures affecting other cities as
plain violations Of the principles of
home rule. The fact that the State
Legislature has anything to say about
the direct administration OF municipal
affairs Is a violation of the principle to
which the Governor refers. But since
the Legislature does IA the power 1t
shouldn't have. the best thing it can do

The warm weather will force some OF
