PATRr0TIsM IND RUsIN Ess.

In the course of his highly interesting
talk in this city last Tuesday evening
Charles A. Dana surprised his hearers
by a revelation of the practical side
of one of the most important events
of war times" The amendment to
the constitution prohibiting slavery
was under consideration. 1t was a
great measure 1t was intended, said
Mr.. Dana, not merely as means of
prohibiting slavery and decreeing it's
adjustment by Congress, but as a
means of affecting the judgment and
the feeling and the anticipation of those
in rebellion. 1t was believed that that
amendment to the constitution would
be equivalent to new armies in the
field, equivalent to sending 100000 men
to fight; because this would be an in
tellectual army, an intellectual force,
that would paralyze the enemy and
change his ideas. In order to achieve
the desired constitutional change it was
necessary to have the proposed amend
ment approved by certain number of
States, but when. that question came
to be decided the issue was found dan
gerously close and another State was
required in order to render the approval
adequate and operative. The only So
luton of the problem was to make an
| other State to order, and consequently
the territory of Nevada was admitted
to the union as an independent COM
monwealth. Mr.. Dana quoted Abra-
ham Lincoln as saying that cit is easier
to admit Nevada than to raise another
million of men,
So Nevada was admitted. Then when
| the question finally came around to be
voted upon in congress, in the house of
representatives there, it took three
quarters of the votes, and this vote was
eanvassed earnestly and intensely and
| most anxiously for long time before
hand. Lincoln was very much troubled
| by the situation and he decided that

education, deals with this subject at
length. 1t is shown that, since the
preceding report, the average length Of
the school term has decreased one day
in the north Atlantic division, forty
four one hundredths Of day in the
south Atlantic, one and three-tenth
days in the south central, and three
days in the western, On the other hand
there has been an increase of one and
three-fifths days in the north central
division, which counterbalances much
of the decrease elsewhere. making the
general average decrease throughout
the country nineNtenths of day. The
causes that most effect the general
average are to be found in the north
Atlantic division and largely in the
states of New York and Massachusetts.
The shortening is ascribed largely to
increasing laxity in the matter of holt
days, and may not, therefore, be an
indication for a growing belief that a
shorter school year is desirable. The
longest school year is in New Jersey,
where it is 100 days. Another fact dis
closed by the statistical summaries of
city school systems, which Prof. Harris
regards as striking, is the great in
crease, both relative and absolute in
the cost of the schools

Protecting + ec,ric Light Apparatus
Against Lightning.

The problem of protecting electric
been altogether one of invention; it has
been quite as much one of careful and
patient observation. Four years ago 1t
was customary to place single light
ming arrester at the point where protec
ton was desired To-day the same
point is protected by distributing line
arresters at frequent intervals over the
system. This change has resulted part
ly through the invention of more simple
and effective lightning arresters--in-
struments which can be trusted at
distance from station attendants and
which are free from the necessity of
occasional inspection; but perhaps more
through a more complete understanding
of the prob1em--of the conditions which
| have to be met.
| The most important characteristic of
static discharges from electric circuits
| is that of selection. Discharges do not,
as has been commonly supposed, follow
| the shortest and easiest path to
earth" Were this the case, one arrester
|
| cient. The discharge being selective, it
| is very certain that one arrester Is not
/ sufficient, and further, If line arresters
| be connected at frequent intervals, the
| path which will be selected will more
| and more likely be one of the arresters
i rather than the apparatus in proportion
! as the number of arresters is increased
| This statement is sustained in practice
| by the rapidly growing use Of line ar
rosters. Station arresters are perhaps
| advisable as an extra precaution, but
in general discharges entering the sta
ton offer fair indication that more
| lightning arresters are needed on the
/ line.
| The question naturally arises: How
many lightning arresters should be
connected to given length of eircuit2'
The writer recommends four to the mile

taken as an invariable rule; much de-
Ponds upon the local conditions. the
character of the soil with reference to
ground connections and liability of
lightning to strike, the grade of insula-
ton to be protected, the voltage of the
circuit, which latter governs the safe

Mi. Dana could get. He commissioned
him to get them, telling him that what
ever he promised should be given,
Mr.. Dana did his work efficiently. And
he felt, he said, that this little piece Of
side politics was one of the most judi
cious and wise exercises Of the executive
authority that he had ever assisted in
or witnessed.
OF course this action wasn't exactly
what some sentimentalists might APP
prove. We have some sentimentalists
is New Haven, and one of them writes
to us that Mr. Lincoln should never
have bought those votes, that Mr.. Dana
should never have assisted in the trade,
should never have damaged Mr. Lin
coins fame by telling of it, and that as
the trusted and confidential agent of
Mr.. Lincoln he was bound never to tell
of it. This is an interesting protest
and is perhaps justified by strict senti-
mentality. But most people who real
ize how the world goes will be inclined
to think that Mr.. Lincoln and MIR. Dana
did about as we'll for their country in a
great crisis as stricter sentimentalists
might have done in their places. And
as for Mr.. Dana's revelation we do not
see what harm it has done or can do,
and 1t is decidedly refreshing to get a
little history that isn't false or highfa-

women Four Hundred Year. Aco.

The home life of the upper classes in
the fifteenth century was the achieve
ment and possession of the women.
They made it, and they enjoyed 1t, and
although the man was the lord, the
master, the cause OF the institution, it
was not he who animated it or who
stamped upon it the impress of his
spirit. His life was passed in camps
and courts. A succession of foreign and
civil wars in both France and England
kept the knights In the saddle during
the greater part Of the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries, and the ladies' left
with the children and the servants in
the manor house and chateau, directed
the domestic life Of the time.

forty-two years of her life never made
a journey of more than ten miles, ex-
cept in going from one of her mansion
houses to the other, 'tShe did not hui

London" or at least, If she did, it must
have been surreptitiously, for there is
no record of it in the account books of

Lord leighton aud hiidren.

Even under the social storm and
stress OF Studio Sunday" when his
picturesque house was crowded with an
exacting and brilliant throng, Leigh
ton could make time to minister to the
wants of any little visitors who might
accompany their elders. One charming
instance of this comes to my mind in
reference to reception at his house
some seven or eight years ago. A pref
ty little girl was trying to edge her wee
person through the crowd to get a
glimpse of the presidents pictures, but
without success. In an instant he
grasped the situation, raised her to his
shoulder, and the two were chatting
gleefully together as if they had been
friends for life. An example of his
generous and patient self-restraint |
saw on another occasion, when the ac-
cident of his high official position
brought him into unwilling touch with
a wealthy pavenu. This magnate
knew little of art, but prided himself on
his choice collection, which only
a moderate share of critical knowledge
might have seriously discounted Over
the dining-room rnantelpiece was a
very doubtful old master, over which
its master waxed enthusiastic in the
presence of his guest, praising its all
legged points of merit in no measured
terms, and generally explaining the
why and the wherefore with the fiuen-
cy of self-complaeent ignorance. The
president listened with the suspicion OF
smile on his handsome features But
his few words We're wise generalities,
and, as soon as courtesy would permit,
a tactful silence prompted by those
rare diplomatic powers with Which he
was so richly gifted.-London Times

garment Is an extravaganza, but she is
just the woman who will be wise 10
make herself possessor of something Of
the kind. The extra few yards Of silk
the bits Of lace, velvet or fur already on
hand will make the best sort of show if
gathered together in such a cape
There are many designs One especial
ly adapted to bits of stuff is of velvet
in q bright warm red. This extends to
the shoulders where the velvet is cut in
big points that hang over an under
cape of rose colored silk Black lace is
set on the silk so that the portion of it
that is seen below the velvet points
shows through the lace. You see, the
entire under cape need not really be of
the rose silk; that that does not show
under the points may be black silk.
The velvet itself is enriched, (or its
lack of freshness is concealed) by the
application of points of cream lace.
There is a high ruche for collar over
the edge of which in front are arranged
some short curling ostrich tips. A fall
of lace and ribbon is at either side of
the front fastening. Such cape can
be lined and it is as elegant as can be.
