Isle seem to be in accord as TO the expediency
of transferring the work OF the Coast and
Geodetic Survey partly to the Hydrographic
ONCE OF the Navy Department and partly to the
Geological Survey under the Interior DEPART

he could not see the need OF maintaining a
separate and distinct bureau to carry on work
which could be done as efficiently and more
economically" by tho Photographic Once and

makes the additional point. as 10 the survey OF
the coast, that only very small patches OF the

the shores OF California remain, and the minor
value ofthis is suggested by its having been left

promptly, ifit had the chance, being deeply in

With the coast lines once finished. the few
changes through the action of natural causes
are easily noted, whereas the photographic work
or the changes in the bottom OF the sea
by drifting sediment, must be constantly revised.
This latter work is now done by naval onicers

shall the American Meihodisls ABan-
don bulgaria?

An energetic and pungent debate upon
the bulgarian question, occupying a good
part Of " days, took place at the Con-
ference Of the General Missionary Com
mittee Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
recently held in Brooklyn. Very grave
charges were made, and very strong Ian
guage was used by those members OF the
Conference who insisted that the costly
American Methodist mission in Bulgaria
ought To be abandoned as a failure. since it
had made but the slightest impression upon
the masses Of the Bulgarian people, the
great majority Of whom are adherents of the
Holy Orthodox Greek Catholic Church. It
did net seem 10 them worth while 10 spend
any more American money fer the CONVEX
sion Of the benighted Bulgsrians; aud they
gave reasons for their opinion which raised
a stir in the Conference,
The question arose upon a motion Of
fered By the Rev. DR.. DAVIS, su-
perintendent of the Bulgarian mission.
that an appropriation Of S37, Gee be made
in its behalf for the coming year. He
urged that means for the support OF the
mission must be guaranteed, otherwise the
Bulgsrians would not leave the Greek
Church" The mission had been DETAINED
by mischief makers, but the results OF it
were OF record. One OF its agents, who WAS
guilty Of duplicity and treachery, had been

There is likely TO he more regret than

CARLYLE and FRouDE. Mr.. CONWAY has told
some things about CARLYLE which cannot add
to his reputation, and has printed some letters
received by him from FRoUps, which grossly
discredit Mr.. FRoupE's judgment. Admirers
OF the great Chelsea scowler and scolder
have not forgotten the damage done to
his name by tho "Reminiscences Of him
which fRoUDE published thirteen years ago:

asked CONWAY, a. he handed him a letter writ

concerned, and also for the public. that FRoUDE

corning the C~ARLYLEs, as well as his own man
uscripts, should be destroyed after the close OF
his life.

The Bay Colony.

Mr.. Edmund j. Carpenter has come
bravely to the defense of the men of
Massachusetts Bay in the matter of
the expulsion of Roger Williams. In
a remarkably scholarly paper, read
before the Historic Genealogical so
ciety he showed pretty clearly that
the colony had to repudiate Williams
and his ideas as a matter of rea-
sonable public policy, and that this
reputation did not extend to his
ideas of religious or civil liberty.
This does not detract from the rev
erence due to Roger Williams for
his work for liberty of belief and Of
government, but it goes to relieve
the Massachusetts of those days from
some aspersions. 1t is not so long
ago that Fourth of July orator here
in Boston spoke of the burning" of
witches in Massachusetts. A judi
cious correction of popular ideas of
history is greatly desirable. Boston

From Mountain to Plain.

In describing the picturesque rock
bound Italian cities between Sorrento
and Amalf, in The Century, Marion
Crawford says:
1t sometimes seems as though
modern civilization tended, broadly
speaking, to transfer life from the
mountains to the plains, leaving be-
hind just what we are pleased to call
romance. In other days no man, as
rule built in plain or valley when
he could possibly build upon the top
of a hill. Now no one who can
dwell in the plains takes the trouble
to live on the top of the mountain
unless for some very particular rea-
son.
The security that once lay in stone
walls and iron bars is now sought in
strategic position and in earthworks.
There are no small, daily dangers in
our time against which man barri-
caded himself in towers and behind
iron studded doors of oak. The great
perils of our age are few, far between
and general. Military power once
meant an agglomeration of desperate
individuals devoted to a common
cause, bad or good, not one of whom
could find place in the well ordered,
unreasoning and mechanically ODE
dent ranks of modern con9uerors
army.
The more we live in plains the less
we can understand the hills; the
more systematically we obey laws
and regulations having for their OBJ
ject the greatest good of the greatest
number the less able are we to I'M
derstand the reasoning Of such men
rs Alaric, the great Count of Sicily,
Tancred, Caesar Borga, Gonzalvo de
Cordova or Garibaldi.
. 1t is singular that while most intel
Ggent people undoubtedly prefer the
conditions of modern civilization for
their daily life they should by pref
erence also like to dream of the times
when civilization was still unrealized
and of lives lived in circumstances
against which modern common sense
revolts. These are machine made
times. Those were handmade, and
true art is manual, not mechanical.

Concerning Homework.

One thing Is certain. If women are de-
termined to meet men in the public arenas
of life and fight them with their own
weapons, they will, of necessity, be com
PEELED to desert the arena of their homes
and their own natural duties, for, as
these duties cannot be abolished, the only
thing possible is to delegate them to some
one else to perform-that is, they will
leave their children and their houses in
the charge Of ignorant, cruel servants and
give themselves their time and energies
TO what they are pleased to call wider
duties" And what of the poor children
Lately there has been great deal of
fretful impatient, womanly writing
about the degrading, depressing influence
of household work, and it has been urged
that it is better for wives and mothers to
write or sew or do any kind of mental
work in order to make money to relieve
themselves of the duties of cooking and
nursing. Women who have this idea
ought never to have become wives, and
they ought never, never never to have be-
come mothers, for If there Is any loftier
work than making homes lovely and sweet
and restful, or any holier work than nurs-
ing and training her own little children,
no woman will find 1t in writing or sew
ing or preaching or lecturing or in any
craft Of hand or head known to moptals. -
