II the Bertillion system Of identifca-

into the world wailing has been regard
cd as a sort Of prophecy Of tho truth
that as q rule the sorrows Of life out
number the joys when all the returns

opposite Significance in the fact that
mans laugh remains the same through
all the changing years When the cares
Of manhood socc6ed to the happy 20
lucky days Of boyhood, this laugh Of his
may be called into use, az 1t were, very
little, but when il is put into operation
it is the same old laugh, aud every boy
hood friend would know il instantly.
An old soldier who fought through
the war with Fred Hartwick, who drives
a mail collectors wagon on the North
Side, happened TO be in Chicago for q
week not long since. He heard that Mr..
Hartwick was ON It's postmaster's staff
and went to the federal building to find
him. He took HIS station at point past
which all tho carriers filed to report for
duty, and as Hartwick came along some
one pointed him out
Without disclosing HIS own identity
the veteran approached and begnn ask
ing Hartwick If ho remembered various
incidents in the history Of thoir regi-
ment during the war, Of course he did
and very soon fell into conversation, Or
gnnizing a kind Of campfire meeting
between themselves Ono member of
the regiment was in business in New
Orleans, another was In a bank down
In the state, several were farming, one
was the local manager for ono Of the
big commercial agencies in one Of the
large cities, and so on
Several times Hartwick asked his old
companion at arms his name, but the
latter only smiled and went ON with the
conversation. Finally. when it became
necessary for them to separate. as Hart
wick was obliged to go out ON his run,
the man laughed outright as he said:
well, Fred, l never thought you'd
forgot me after what we went through
together.
''The minute no laughed, said Mr..
Hartwick, In relating the incident, II
knew just who he was and all about
him, but hadn't seen him for 80 years,
and he had changed 80 couldn't have
told him from Adam. His laugh had
grown older, too, of courso. but it was
the samo old laugh. Chicago Trib-

An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred
WOman's Emancipation.

An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred
WOmAn's Emancipation.
The bond of fellowship which exists
between man and man simply by virtuo
Of a common sex is entirely absent be-
tween woman and woman. II is, in
fact, replaced by fundamental antago-
nism, q vague enmity which renders
the general attitude Of a feminine crea-
ture toward her kind essentially differ
ent from that Of the male creature in
identical relations. In individual cases
this feeling is counteracted by affection
or by sympathy but apart from person
al sentiment it remains, severing every
living woman from the rest of her sex.
To a great extent this arises from wom-
ans incapacity for impersonal feeling or
abstract emotion. In lifo's fray she
fights either for her own hand or, more
often, for some one man or woman
whom she loves, but rarely for the vel
fare of her scx at large.
We're it not for this strange lack of hu-
manity in her nature, the emancipation
Of woman would not have been so griev-
ously retarded. If the few women who
suffered nfcretime under the restrictions
which hedgcd in their liberty had been
able to count ON the sympathy and CO.
operation Of all women, the time Of
their subjugation would have been enor-
monsly abbreviated. AS it was, the first
seekers aftcr freedom met with more
opposition from their own sex than they
did from the other; nor, indeed, do they
fare better today. Enormous changes
in their social status were effected by
an inconsiderable minority Of women
bravo enough and logical enough to i'm
press the male powers that be with tho
justice Of their demands But for their
courage they received no sympathy and
for their success not one word Of thanks
nothing, in fact, but execration from
the huge inert feminine mass in whose
service their strength was spent. Sat

CONSERVATIVE.
The FiFs, Uso % the Word ~ an English
Political Term.

Canning, and not Croker, was the
first TO use in English politics the word
conservative In its present sense, and
too long has Thackeray's "Mr. Wen-
ham" (Disraeli's "Mr Rigby'') had tho
credit which belongs to a far more brill
liant man. The general assumption has
been that the term was earliest employ
ed IN The Quarterly Review for January,
1880 mo SS, page 276), in an article
which has been commonly said, but upon
no specified authority, to have been
written by Croker, but its truc FIRST use
was five years and half previously.
On June 8, 1924, a dinner was given
TO George hilbert, the chairman OF the
West India Merchants Of London, by the
members Of that body, and several Of the
leading ministers then serving under
Lord Liverpool, the Tory premier, were
present. In the course Of the proceed
ings, says a contemporary account, IAN
observation which fell from Mr.. Cam
ming was that the spirit of the present
government, as that Of all governments
ought 10 be, was essentially conserva-
tive. "
This appeared in John Bull Of June
l3, 1924 (page 1857 and the apt word was
so obviously remarked that It was itali-
cized. Years passed, and Canning had
died before the word is again to be met
in English politics, but ON March Il,
1929, Charles Greville noted in his dia-
~ that "Herries told Hyde Villiors that
their (the Tories policy was conserva-
tive, that of the Wings subversive, and
that they never could act together -
"The Grevilie Memoirs, 4" volume /, part
1, page 1919.
The word, employed by both Canning
and Herries, was thus "in the air" be-
fore it was given in The Quarterly, and
this accords with a statement made in
the course of a correspondence ON the
"Etymology Of the Word Conservative"
which appeared in The Standard at the
end of October, 1882. wherein it was
said to have been first used in 1929,
during the closing controversies upon
Roman Catholic emancipation. Notes
and Queries.

That is sweet and valuable leavon
which the two young japanese women
just now leaving the Chicago Baptist
hospital, after the completion Of their
course as trained nurses, have cast about
them. One Of them was asked by the
superintendent one day how she always
managed to be so happy, and she said
that the children in Japan were taught
that, no matter what happened, they
should always appear cheerful and not
make others wretched.
These young women win return in
July to their home and expect TO open a
hospital in Tokyo. One Of them, Miss
Sakalxi, is the daughter of a member Of
the japanese parliament, very wealthy
man, and the other, Miss Nagano, is the
only child Of a rich Japanese merchant.
They have been in America nearly three
years, pursuing thorough course in the
profession which they havo adopted. =

The Quaker Poet Had but scant Instruc.
tion In His Youth.
In his boyhood Whittier had scant in
struction, for the district school was
open only few weeks in winter. He
had but few books; there were scarcely
90 in the house. Tho one book he read
and read again until he had it by heart
almost was the Bible, and the Bible was
always the book which exerted the
strongest literary influence upon him.
But when no was IA a teacher came
who lent him books Of travel and opened
a new world to him. It was this teach
or who brought to the Whittiers one
evening a volume of Burns and read
aloud some Of the poems, after explain
ing the Scottish dialect
Whittier begged to borrow the book,
which was almost the first poetry he
had ever read. 1t was this volume Of
Burns which set Whittier to making
verses himself, serving both as the in
spiration ard the model Of his earlier
poetic efforts. The Scottish poet, with
his homely pictures Of a life as bare and
as hardy as that of New England then,
first revealed to the American poet what
poetry really was and how it might be
made out Of the actual facts Of his own
life.
That book of Burns poems had an
even stronger influence ON Whittier than
