The True Moral Standard.

The moral motive arises not by
contemplation of the qualification
given by certain line of conduct to
God or by recollection of superimpos-
ed pleasures, secular or supernatural,
present or future, or by any reference
to the social habits or conventions
with which the said line of conduct
may or may not accord. Such moral
motive has nothing to do with
obedience to the revealed will of God,
or with the eXtraneous conceptions Of
heaven and hell, or with punishment
or reward from earthly rulers, or with
the favor or disfavor ofpublic opinion.
1t arises from the vived ideal repre-
sentation of the relation between ac-
tion and life. The compulsion of
morality therefore is inner and not
outer compulsion, its authority inner
and not outer authority, its restraints
those arising from the connection of
cause and effect, its sanctions natural,
not supernatural, essential and not
fortuitous. The foundations of the
| moral code thus belong to the very
nature Of sentient life itself, and its
dictates therefore possess a validity,
reach, significance, a sacredness,
to which no others can conceivably
lay claim.

One Days Experience.

1t was on an electric car, bound
from Harvard square to Boston. He
was a susceptible Harvard student,
she as pretty girl as you could wish
to see. He wore an immaculate
white scarf and was arrayed like a lily
of the field. She had brown eyes
that extended back to her soul, and
she knew how to use them. She left
the car at the central gate of the
Common, and he sighed and watched
her through the car window until she
was out of sight
An hour later he was strolling
through West street viewing the shop
pers with a critical eye. Suddenly,
from the mysterious interior of a dry
goods store, a bundle in her hand, her
cheeks flushed with the ardor of the
chase, she came forth fairer than be-
fore, and underneath the immaculate
scarf he felt joyous commotion.
At o'clock he was at the Adams
House, and, as in duty bound, made
a cursory examination of the ladies'
dining room. He had inspected
scarcely half the tables when his heart
stopped and his eye was rivited. Just
underneath a mirror she sat, divested
of her wraps and nothing short of
ravishing.
at is fate" said he, and stared at
her until there was danger of the head
waiter calling the police.
AT a o'clock he was hurrying up
fremont street in the overture of a
threatening rainstorm, bound for Park
square. In front of the fremont
theatre he thought of his immaculate
scarf and fine raiment and sought
shelter in doorway.
Another moment and the world
around him grew misty. She stood
beside him, her skirts in hand and
despair IN her face, without mackin-
tosh to shield her from the rain.
He glanced at her a moment, rolled
up his twelve dollar trousers and de-
parted on a run. A few doors down
the street was furnishing store. He
dashed into 1t.
"Give me an umbrella, quick" he
said.
"Here is one" said the clerk
"$4. SO, genuine natural wood and"-
Hang the wood" said he.
He dived into his pocket. A two
dollar bill, two ones and forty-fve
cents in change.
"Call it $4.45. It's all I've got"
"All right" said the clerk.
He threw down the money and
rushed back to the doorway.
She was gone.
Then he raised his umbrella and
started to walk to Cambridge.-Bos-

A German Peasant Poetess.

Johanna Ambrosius, the German
peasant poet, whose works have been

child Of workingman, and, as her
mother was an invalid, Johanna and

the wife of young peasant named

born to her. In the midst of all this
and while absolutely deprived of all
literary aids, she persevered in heI
writing, till her poetry demanded the
attention of the finest minds of Ger.

The Game They Played.

drummer, fixing himself comfortably

"What was ?" asked Cleveland
man.
"a couple of card sharps sat across
the aisle from me and time hung
heavily on their hands, for there wasn't
a man aboard they could work, and
they were disconsolate. After awhile
they began to play with each other,
but they quit pretty soon and relapsed
into their former condition of dis
couragement. They saw that l had
been watching them, and after a few
minutes l called across and asked why
they didn't keep on with their game.

HAVE YOU NOTICED IT.
xhe Robin is Learning TO waik--Ho No
Longer Hops.

In9 ESODlh II AeHFnihE w raN ~'N
Longer Hops.
OF course you all know the robin
Whether you live in city or country
he is the only bird, except perhaps thu
fntruding house sparrow, that is SURE
To come into your yard, If yon have
one. or into the nearest park or garden
If you have but a square rod OF lawn
he is almost certain to find 1t out soon
er or later and To visit 1t In search oi
eartbworms. Often enough you have
seen him there and have hidden him
help himself to the worms and well
come.
But as you watched him gliding over
the lawn, wonder If you have MOTTO
ed that the fine fellow has thought
beyond his hunting, and that. even
while he works, he is endeavoring to
perfect himself in a new accomplish
ment? Perhaps you have not thought
of Il, yet 1t really seems to be so. The
red-breast is learning to walk!
For generations unnumbered his an
cestors have taught that hopping is
the proper and dignified gait for bird
and even now his first cousins, the
wood thrush and the veery and the
hermit thrush, are uncompromisine
hoppers. But Sir Robin, having left
the ancestral halls-that is to say, the
woodlands; having taken it upon him
self to be the progressive member OF
a very conservative family; having
come into the gardens and orchards
where worms are most abundant; haV-
ing laid aside the traditional russet
garb of the renowned thrush family
and donned a trim business suit in
keeping with his character, is quite
ready to accept any other change, eth
er of costume or of custom, that seems
likely to rebound to his advantage.
One morning, when l had gone to
the park for a stroll, there suddenly
fitted before me a robin whose whole
manner and bearing seemed to say
watch mer He alighted on the
ground just ahead, gave his wings and
tail flirt. and, seeing that my eyes
were upon him, he started forward and
actually ran perhaps thirty steps with
out a suspicion of a hop. Then he
looked up at me with an expression
that seemed to say, Thought we
couldn't do It, did you? Well, what
do you think now?" and took another
run longer than the first.
1 applauded the feat as 1t deserved,
and assured the fine fellow that his
feat should be heralded to the world.
I feel bound to add that even this ad-
vanced student of the art Of walking
paid very little attention to worms
while he was making his feet work in
dependently. He certainly walked far
better than had supposed 1t possible
for any robin to do, and his accom-
plishment justifies the prediction that
the time is not very distant when ev-
cry robin will do square heel and
toe" without difficulty.
If this statement sounds improbable,
20 for a walk and watch Master Robin
yourself; but it would be folly to pre-
diet how long it may be before his old
school cousins, the wood thrush, the
veery and others, will even attempt to
follow his example. - Our Animal

In Gorgeous Ueadgear.

1t seems to me that the hat must be.
.ome part of every horses wardrobe.
Judging by the effects the recently trop-
lcal weather had upon these poor crea-
lures. Numberless cases of sudden Ill
ness, which was bad both for the ami
mails themselves and for the people
who were riding or driving them, were
brought to light last week. Some
horses were actually seen in the park
wearing hats which were of a Saliva
tion Army bonnet type of pattern
One OF the humorous papers suggested
that this new fashion would result in
unheaTa-of eXtravagances in flowers
and ostrich plumes. and that horses
would soon take such an interest in
their own headgear that they would
insist upon stopping to look in at al
the more fascinating milliners' win
dows.-London Lady.

Why Trade Doesn't Boom.

Some disappointment is expressed
in trade circles that the activity which
followed quick on the heels of the
election has not been maintained, and
the disappointed are asking why the
good times promised as a result of Nc
Kinley's election have not been reali-
zed. Both the disappointment and
the inquiry are based upon a partial
view of the business situation and fail
to convince those with a compre-
hensive grasp of the facts that there is
any real cause for disappointment.
When the election was held, the
fall wholesale and jobbing season was
already over. The retailers throughout
the country had already purchased the
stocks, meagre though they were, they
thought were actually necessary. They
are not likely to purchase heavily
until they lay in stock for the spring
trade. The disappointed jobbers and
wholesalers are those who have not
taken into account the fact that when
one season of usual activity in trade
is past, general activity cannot be ex-
pected until the next trade season is
reached, The election fell between
two of these seasons.
There has been general revival Of
production, however, and many long
idle manufactures are now running
full time to produce the goods that
will be wanted for the spring trade.
Those who are complaining Of dull
trade in their own particular staples
have lost sight of the fact that be-
tween the mandatory and the con-
sumer a considerable period must
elapse at the best and that factories
may be buster than ever before and
goods still move slowly in jobbers'
hands. The resumption of the factor
les, however, gives the workingmen
money to purchase with and benefits
the local retail trade. With the ad-
vent of the spring demand the goods
now being turned out in the factories
will begin to move to their final desti-
nation for distribution to the con-
sumers.
The goods will be wanted and the
consumers will have money to pay for
them. This has been year ofbounti-
full crops and of good prices, and the
money which has been paid and is
still to be paid for the country's wheat,
cotton, corn and other agricultural
staples is certain to find its way into
the avenues Of trade and quicken
business into healthy activity in the
near future. Those who are COM
planning of dull business have expect
ed too much and made too little
allowance for the time required for
goods to reach consumers and realize
returns IN money to pay for the manu-
facture and distribution of more
goods.
The disappointed should make due
allowance for the season and the time |
necessary for goods to pass from
factory, and cultivate the grace of |
patience. The farmer who plants his |
corn doesn't dig it up the next day |
to see if it has begun to grow. He |
waits till it does grow. Trade is in
some degree process of planting and |
waiting, and experienced tradesmen
will do the necessary waiting in patti
ence and with good humor. Phila. |

Canouization of Santa Zita.

Santa Zita, who resided for the
greater portion of her life in Genoa
Italy, has been canonized. She was q
very pious churchwoman, but always
very domesticated. She remained
longer than usual at church one day
and quite forgot that there were to be
number of people at the house that
day for dinner. On awakening she
hurried forth from the sacred edifice
in way which was far indeed from
her wont, but, on reaching the kitchen,
what was her surprise and delight to
ind a party of cherub celestials busy
preparing the meal. She did not inter-
tere, but was at first not unwilling to
accept the praise which was lavished
On her culinary success. She soon re-
pented, however, and told the world
the truth about the spiritual and mi
raculous help she had received, and it
was agreed on all sides that she de-
served to be canonized. Accordingly
she became Santa Zita.

Stewart writes that Mexico is more
prosperous than ever before, wages
have gone up steadily, foreign cap
ital is flowing in and strikes and
lock-outs are unknown. Mexico
has foated all her bonds in Europe
at 8 per cent, which is l per cent
better than the United States have
been doing. Mr.. Stewart says his

Sleep ProlOngs Life.

1t is suggested that what some
people want is sleep holidays. They
do not need to go to watering pla-
ces and SUMMER hotels and TO be en-
tertained by a round of gayety,
with band always playing. There
may be something in the contention
that a greater amount of sleep is
required by people nowadays-es-
peciaIy brain workers-than was
formerly the case. Nicola Tesla,
the electrician, is credited with
saying that he believes a man would
live 200 years if he would sleep
most Of the time. That is why ne
groes often live to advanced old age
because they sleep so much. He
also alluded to current report that
Mr.. Gladstone now sleeps II hours
