A DISLIKE OF DUKES.
A Handicap Which the Highest OF Eng
lish Peers Have to Garry.

Handicap which the Highest OF Eng.
lish Peers Have TO Garry.
We may note popularity in the
English feeling about titles Of which
We have never seen q reasonable expla-
nation. Tho political populaoo dislikes
tho title of duke. Some Of the ablcst
peers in politics have been dukes, but
to be a duke weights instead Of lighton-
ing man in the great raco for power.
There is q widely diffusod impression,
tho origin Of which we cannot trace,
that o duke is sure to be littlo stupid,
that brilliant duke is, in fact, an i'm
possibility. The title is positive draw
back to the Duke Of Devonshire, and a
Duke Of Derby would never have been
described as a Rupert Of debate "
The Duke of Argyll, who is an intel
leotual athlete, would have been far
more completely recognized as Earl Of
Argyll, and we are not sure that the
dul1odom has not impoded one or two
promising politicians in the house Of
lords Certainly a duko rarely rises
there miles ho has become known to
tho country before the title crushed him.
Is it that the rank overpowers tho pop
ular imagination till men cease to reo
tho persona thing which constantly
happens in the case of kings-or is il
that men can never forget tho special
rank by merging it in the simpler and
more familiar title Of "lord?"
no peer except q duke is invariably
mentioned by the title which marks his
grade. We have not an idea Of tho true
explanation, bat we know that a polit-
ioal earl who accepted q dukodom would
lose heavily in popular estimation, and
that even a marquis like Lord Sails
bury, who would alter his rank so lit
tlo, would nnd that the coronet Of
strawberry leaves acted, to certain
extont, as an oxtinguishor, while If bis
son neyor entered tho house Of commons
he would have to struggle against some
inexplioablo weight Tho fact is ono Of
tho very oldest in the whole Of tho odd
history Of tha influence Of rank. but Of
its reality we entertain no doubt what
ever To say THAT is o ducal opinion
is to say it ia an opinion that no one in
our days neod consider. London Spec

It's Relation TO Society end It's Influence
In the Churcn.

In the church.
The unit Of society IS tho home. En-
rollment that assumes to bo thorough is
not a regigtration BY individuals, but
by families. II we wcro 90 say that the
structure Of society is cellular, we
should have to say that it Is tho family
that constitutes each separate cell. No
man, however entire, is q cell. No
woman, however complete, is a cell.
There is no finished cell except in tho
grouping of several individuals bound
by tho ties Of domosticity. A bachelor is
a dislocatoa fragment. His female coun-
terpart is in the same category. It may
not be their fault It may lilo in tho
necessity Of their case. still, ali in all,
it is q condition foreign to divine in
tention.
It is to the family, therefore that we
shall have to look as heing tho primo
point Of concern ia all that relates to
the veal Of our times and our kind.
The strength and health of society are
to bo measured by tho amount of afgeo-
tionate emphasis that Is laid on tho
homo idea, and tho wholesomenoss Of
society is simply tho sanctity Of the
home writ largo. Homes arc each Of
them the separate roots that carry their
several contributions to the organized
structure Of tho general lii0
All Of this holds whether society be
considered in its religious relations,
which we know as tho church, OF in its
secular ones, known as tho stato. The
homo is the first church, and the homo
Is tho first state. There is nothing in
either of the two that is not initially
present in n small way inside tho homo
circle. AS regards tho former there is a
very important idea conserved in SO ar
ranging orr church auditoriums as to
combine the congregation without sacri-
ficing the identity of its families. The
pew system Of worship is the deft way
that our church architecture takes to
teach the doctrine that each homo is a
lite religious organism. This is ono Of
those interesting cases whore a sense Of
fitness, even without being distinctly
conscious of it, nevertheless asserts it.

MANS STATURE.

Prof. Donath, of Budapest, has been
examining the statistics of European
armies with a view to ascertain whether
the human race appears to be improving
in a physical sense or deteriorating.
Statistics from Russia he hasbeen un-
able to obtain, but his conclusion is
supported in almost every other case
by those from other countries where
military service is compulsory.
In the Austro-Hungarian army the
number of men rejected as not coming
up to the regulation standard of height
has increased during the last ten years
by no less than rs per cent. The stand
ard has been lowered in Germany, so
that comparison can not be fairly be
made. yet in spite of this, in the same
period. the number of men rejected as
too short has risen from to Is per
cent. Taking a period of sixteen years,
the increase of men below the proper
height in France has been from 6 to 13
per cent, and in Italy, within ten years,
the same increase has been from Z per
cent. to no less than % per cent Swift
zerland alone is an exception to the rule.

Washington supplies the lawbreakers she
ought to aid me in breaking up the in

MEADE's EXACT STATUS.

WASHINGTON, May 16. 1S95.-Secre-
tary Herbert says that when Admiral
Meade's request for detachment from the
command of the North Atlantic Squad
ron was received last week, it was coupl-
with a request to be retired June 20, and
for permission to go abroad. This entire
request was promptly granted. When,
however the interview with Admiral
Meade appeared in the newspapers and
the department had asked the Admiral
whether it was authorized and had re-
ceived his non-committal reply, it was de-
cided on Saturday that subsequent pro-
ceedings might render his presence in
this country necessary and the permission
extended to him to go abroad was re-
voked. Beyond that nothing whatever has
been done to date.

LUNATIOS AT LARGE.
Criminals Do the Perry Act at the
Providence State Asylurn

PROVIDENCE. May 49, 1S95.-At the
State Institutions early this morning two
insane inmates made good their escape
and a third was captured in an attempt
to regain his liberty, after a determined
conflict with the guard.
The men at liberty are Lester Egan
and Thomas McDermott; the man who
was prevented from accomplishing his
purpose was one Hagan, a well-known
incorrigible in the insane asylum Egan
was committed some years ago on con-
vineing evidence of burglary; McDer-
mott had also served time in the State
prison for a felony, and both had been
remanded to the insane department by
order of the Supreme Court on account
of alleged mental infirTnities. Hagan,
who was unsuccessful in his attempt
had likewise been in the care of the
criminal department before being trans
ferred to the insane ward, and the trio
formed a dangerous combination in the
light of the successful break.
Some time in the evening Egan broke
through the heavy wire netting that
covers the transom of his door. He then
crawled through the transom and
dropped quietly to the floor. Egan un-
fastened the door of Hagan's cell and
released him, and both then entered the
cell of McDermott and concealed them
selves under the bed. When Watchman
Clements was going his rounds McDer-
mott asked for drink of water, and as
he leaned over the bed to hand it to the
man Egan jumped up from behind and
threw a bolster over the watchman,
whereupon Hagan and McDermott took
a hand, and the three tried to overcome
the watehman. One of the three seized
the keys of the building and all started
for the outside. BY means of the keys
the barred door was opened, window
raised, and Egan and McDermott jumped
through, ran across the open space and
disappeared in the darkness.
Hagan was not so lucky, for Watch
man Clemens at the barred door seized
Hagan, and held him. Hagn was then
forced back to his cell and locked up.
The attendants at the asylum were
notified and a general search instituted.

The Warden said he would act en-
