IL r. N. Stevens really did steal that
railroad bill, he ought to return it. The
measly thing must be pretty well worn
out, after being carried around IN his
pocket for so many years with his chew

that bill, turn 1t over to Fairchild or
Moffet and square yourself.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
L. Z. Letter and other humane men have
accomplished temporary solution of a
troubled question. They will receive into
the Waits Mission and care for without
cost to he city boys guilty Of slight offenses
for which, under the existing laws and
conditions, thay would have 10 be sent to
the bridewell or discharged to become va
grants. many of them little later to be-
come criminals.
Praiseworlhy is the action of these
gentlemen, the public duty to homeless boys
OF Chicago remains unperformed. There
ought to be founded an institution cornbin-
ing home with school. the school combining
manual with literary instruction, for boys
who come into the guardianship of the city
through commission of petty ofrenses. The
conscience of this community has been
cruelty torpid to the gross sin OF leaving
this work not only unachieved but unat-
tempted.
Shocking as is the epithet. truth has its
rights. The city of Chicago is bearing and
mothering criminals because of failure TO
provide school and home for homeless
boys Instead Of placing them on the road
to useful citizenship it is qualifying and
compelling them to become felons
Is this shame never to be effaced?

Ludwig Jacobowski in the Chautauquan for May.
How would our European types of
beauty be received in other zones? White
travellers have declared that in the heart
of the tropical forest the negros shining
skin Is considered esthetically lovely. while
the white skin of the European suggests
only sickness and disease. 1t Is clear that
the question Of what constitutes beauty
would be answered differently by every
race To quote an apt saying of an old
Greek philosopher. Man is the measure of
all things. Every race has it's own Apollo
and Aphrodite The traveller Hearne, who
Is thoroughly acquainted with the North
american Indians says that in the eyes Of
these Indians the ideal of beauty must pos
sess a broad, fiat face. small eyes. high
cheek bones low forehead, a large broad
chin. knobby, hooked nose a golden
brown skin. In northern China only the
native Manchoo types are admired: A
broad face. high cheek bones, very broad
nose and enormous ears. One of these
QIeued Asiatics who had travelled to Ceylon,
upon seeing the prominent of the
foreign ambassador, wrote that he ~had
the beak of a bird and the body of a man.
Among the nations of Cochin China a wo.
man to be charming must have perfectly
round head and face. Among these col
ored races a white skin is regarded as
ugly. White women receive little favor
and attention from them Chinese in the
interior of the kingdom slider all Eu-
ropeans ugly because of their white skin
and prominent noses. The Sanese wi, n
their small noses, widely separated nos
faces. and high, broad cheek bones. simply
can not conceive OF European beauty
Their own women. the think are so
much better-looking than Europeans"

VEGETARIANISM AND STRENGTH

COmpn ri.ons Drawn Between Meat
Eaters and Non-Ment Eaters.
From the Westminster Review.
We never seeW to realize that large
proportion of the Inhabitants Of this coun-
try are practicafly vegetarians at the pres
ent moment. It is true that they are COM
pulsorily 50. but the fact remains. How
much meat can an agricultural laborer's s
family have out,1of. wage of Is shillings a
week? If q, small quantity of salt pork be
occasionally eaten it is of value chiefly as
respiratory food: Yet our laborers, who
have subsisted- On this diet for genera tons.
are strong; In other European countries
the peasantry are still more evidently veg
etarian fof all practical purposes. Even in
Russia, according to Price Krapotkin, the
that sometimesss Yet the Russian peasant
is not wanting in vigor. The evidence is
the same if we, glance at non-European
races.
The hardy Arab or soudanese is satisfied
with his dates, the Zulu with "meaIies. I"
the Hindu with grains and pulse The
Japanese have a similar diet, varied occa-
sionally with fish. Stanley says of the
Waganda: with the banana plant he is
happy, fat and thriving Without it he is
famished, discoEsolate, woebegone
wretch" The Jats Of Rajpootana are de-
scribed as "a very intelligent fine race.
while both men and women attain great
age. AS rule, the lower classes do not
eat meat" These instances, which might
be multiplied, are quoted to show that
vegetarianism is the ordinary practice of
numerous races, which are not among the
lowest and which show no sign of race de-
terioration. In face of these facts the mere
random assertion sometimes made that
vegetarians are subject to "poorness of
blood" must be taken for what 1t is worth.
Errors both of diet and hygiene may be
committed by veg.tarians as well as by
other people.

He Did Not Believe the Statement At
trfbuted to Mr.. Man1ey.
The interview given by Joseph Manley
conceding the nomination to Mckinley was
surprise and a shock to Speaker Reed
and his supporters in Washington.
The Speaker refused to believe the re-
port when 1t was shown to him last night
and denounced it as j lie. Today he de-
c]ines to speak Of the matter. Mr.. Manley
took the step entirely on his own authority
without consulting Mr.. Reed or any of
the Reed contingent in Washington. A let
ter was received at Reed headquarters here
written by Manley Just before he left Au-
gusta for st. Louis. in which he said that
he had not given up hope of Reeds nomi-
nation His last step is embarrassing %
the Reed men. One Of the Reed managers
said:
THE Speaker could not believe that Mr..
Maniey he'd spoken as quoted until we re-
ceived corroboration Of the Interview. He
has made a mistake. We do not question
his motives at all. Probably he was labor
Ing under the Encouragement caused by
the adverse decisions in the Alabama con-
tests, which We had expected to gain, as
the seats undoubtedly belonged to US. Per
maps he was discouraged also by the num-
per OF Mckinley shouters who have ar
rived early on the scene. We know that
no one can regret the interview today more
deeply than Mr.. Manley does.
There are one hundred delegates to the
convention instructed for Mckinley who
DO not want to vote for him. Circumstances
might arise under which the convention
would see that the nomination of Mckinley
was urWise. and in that event Mr.. Reed
would stand the best chance for the NOM
nation. We do not consider the fight hope
less. nor 10 we believe that Mr.. Manley
does today. He made mistake. that was

The Coming "Celerette,"
From the Journal des Debats.

FROM the JourDal des Debats.
NJ. Paul Clerc's wheel, as we have al
ready said. costs little nothing. One can
be bought for 80 cents or 81. and as it costs
that much for carriage ride the wheelman
can afford to throw the thing away at the
end of his journey and buy a new one
whenever he wants to start out again. A
wheel that anybody can ride, and that will
run along the road fast a an ordinary
horse can trot, is certainly a useful ma
chine Young people will it to amuse
themselves or to go on loEg journeys. and
1t may also be used TO advantage by people
VINO wish to commence their education In
regular cycling. Workmen might also take
advantage of ii going and coming from
their workshops. Children going to school
and peasants going to the market could
also use 1t. Moreover. any handy man with
tools can make a celerette and 1t is so light
that 1t can easily be carried up steep hills
or along the portions of rugged roads where
wheeling is well nigh impossible.
Beyond a doubt, the celerette is another
machine for the benefit of humanity

A ChiiTs Idea of Marriage.


Marriage. from the child's point of view.
Is kind of contradiction. The law of love.
according to his experience, Is rooted in in
timacy. 1t is right for brothers and sisters
who live in the same house and have the
mutual knowledge of daily companionship
to love one another, but how can two
strangers love one another so much as to
want to live together? A hoy of seven once
said to his mother: Il don't see why hus-
bands and wives must be 50 fond of each
other. They are no relations at all. A hus-
band Is just man you pick up anywhere. -
Thls boy, q smart one. as his language sug-
gests, probably expressed a widespread
childish perplexity. The thought is anus
ing because of it's ignorance of the meaning
of marriage, but even as we smile do we not
half feel that the child's way of looking at
human relationships is in a sense the right
ore, and that marriage, however necessary,
is In manner emnently unnatural?

Why Novels Fail m Plays.

1.-The best books make the worst dramas
on record. No one yet has ever dramatiz.
ed Thackeray's Vanity Fair or 'Esmond'
both stories teerning as they are with
dramatic situations and surprises. Dick.
ems, who loved the stage, was divorced
from his love- in that his books were i'm
possible for dramatic treatment. The,
were very good to read. but very bad to
act. There is a reason in all this. The art
or the novelist is to delay lis secret; the
are of the dramatist is to betray it, The
best and most interesting book is the. one
that delays the surprises until the last
page: the worst play is the one that rcfus-
eS to tell the secret until five minutes be-
fore the curtain falls on tn. last act. The
reader OF novels likes to dawdle over the
story, and to prolong the agohy; the spec
tator OF plays loves to be wiser than the
puppets before him. and to watch them
dallying. In fact the playgoer is a kind
of omniscience in pit and gallery, stalls and
boxes who knows more t:Ian any one

Owing to the demand from the short In

ON the Cincinnati Enquirer


A travelling man, well known in the bot

to Lebanon. Ohio, one day last week. He
was accompanied, as usual, by large and
varied assortment Of trunks and grips
When he alighted from the train he i'm

hadn't long to look, for a veteran gray
haired son of Ham approached him and
solicited the job. The baggage was loaded
on the old. rickety dray, and the drummer
jumped on to ride up town with his goods
On the way the man with the order book
and hardened cheek cracked jokes and jol-
lied the old driver only a drummer can.
