The keynote of prosperous and suc-
cessful existence Is justice.
1t matters little to what condition in
life one may turn, this statement ap-
plies with equal force to all.
1t is necessary to share and share
alike, so far as ones ability goes, the
burdens of existence. To put upon one
individual, one class or one nation the
responsibilities that should be divided
equally among all is one Of the surest
ways to bring about dissatisfaction and
ultimately open revolt. To every man
his share of the burden is the only rule
that will, for any length Of time, hold
good, and the only one upon which
healthy, steady and permanent prosper
ity can be established.
Philanthropy, benevolence and good
will toward men are all very we'll when
defined in the right way, but when
these words simply mean that one class
Or one individual shall take up the re-
sponsibility that of right belongs to an.
other the terms lose their meaning and
become only another name for injustice.

Queer Studios.

One day, says Henry Bacon In his
book on contemporary French art, when
was coming up the Champs Elysees, a
cab with the green blind down attract
ed my attention. 1t showed that some
ono was paying 2 francs an hour for the
privilege of remaining stationary as
long as he might choose to do so. Pres
entity up went the curtain, and there ap-
peared the head of Jean Beraud, the
artist.
At his invitation I put my head into
tho miniature studio to see his last pic
ture. His canvas was perched upon the
seat In front, his color box beside him,
and with the curtain down on one side
to keep out the reflection and to hide
himself from the prying eyes OF passers'
by he could paint at ease through the
opposite window view Of the avenue
as background to group of figures.
Who originated this idea it is hard tt
say, but for years, since pictures of mod
ern Paris have been SO popular, 1T ha'
been employed by many artists. :

A Type That the Foreign Critic WIN Not
Be Able to Understand.

Be Abie 10 tndersthhu.
There is one type of American citizen
which it is certain no foreign critic will
ever be able to understand. 1t does not
make much difference who the critic
may be, when no oonfronts the type OF
silent and suffering baseball crank he
will be at sea- 1t is type that is ia
milinr TO all the attendants at the ball
gnmes and to the many men who are ae-
duain;ed with the world of sports The
bowling dervish sort of crank is known
to all mon, but the silent and suffering
ore usually battles analysis. In the ma
jority of instances he is man OF ma,
turo years who has secured an important
place in the financial or commercial
world. His passion for baseball is q thing
that passes all understanding. He is ON
hand at the games whenever 1t is posi-
bic, bat always takes retiring and
unobtrusive scat, where he sits with an
outward air Of boredom and indiffer-
enco, but really suffering from emotions
| that are violent and tempestuous. 1t is
only when he grits his teeth, drives his
nails into the palms of his hands or sud
denly lets out blood curdling scream
that the spectator gets any idea OF the
emotions which are aroused by the play
ing. At other times the tremor OF his
eyelids or the fierce fashion in which he
bites his lips as he watches the game in
dictate how closely he participates in the
fortunes of the home team.
There is one instance OF banker OF
seda.e mien, with white mutton chop
VIII sllcrs and a Snug exterior, who,
whom spoken to on the question OF base
ball, smiles, shrugs his shoulders and
refuses to be drawn into a discussion.
Yet at dinner at night he is wildly jubi-
lant or immoderately depressed, accord
ing to the results of the days game
He has not missed game this year, ex-
cept on Tuesdays and Fridays, when he
is compelled to be present at board

is more of it crops out on trains than
anywhere else. One day, just as the
train was ready to pull out for Chicago,
a well dressed man came out OF the
coach on the platform, and in an agi-

Il told him it was Friday, and with
out another word he re-entered the
coach and in moment returned with
his luggage and by way of explanation
stated that he never began journey

next morning. That is only a sample.

What is Property?
lNnnnh0e,s Mapazina for Irly

lDonahoe's Magazine for JulyI
In these days, when politics has be-
come a trade and the institution is
liable to overshadow the spiritual life,
that is ever its creator and inspirer,
let us hitch not the cart before the horse,
nor concede to institutions priority
over the Eternal Mind that evolves
them.
Meeting lawyer the other day, a
friend of ours propounded a statement
of what he conceived to be natural
justice, touching the social and indus
trial equities.
"Ah, but you never could get the
supreme court to make such ruling" :"
was the prompt reply.
"But what has the supreme court to
do with integral, natural justice?"
our friend answered.
The man learned in the law was
astonished, The institution that had
once ruled in this country that the
chattel slaves body was the property
of another, had evidently long sat up
on his intellect.
Property is creation of law" said
the politician, Henry Clay; ''that is
property which the law makes pro-
perty.'' And yet it is proved by his
tory, beyond all cavil. that property
was distinctly defined, recognized,
and respected by many communities
long before they had established any
settled political institutions, Here
was politics utterly ignoring integral
principles.
All honor to the institution, as the
servant of economic and political
growth; but let not the creation usurp
the place of its creator. Forget not
that the legislature does not lead, but
is led. Put not congress before con-
science and the individual moral
sense.
Helper in the great cause of justice
to labor and humanity, it is not con-
gress and legislature that makes you:
it is you that make them.
