A REMINDER OF PAST DAys.

Today there will be celebrated at her
home near Lynn, Mass, the sixty
eighth birthday of Abby Hutchinson
Patton, whom those of us whose mem
ories carry the stirring events preced-
ing the civil war will recall as the
contralto in that quartette which tour
ed the country as the Hutchinson
family of singers. She was the COM
panion of her brothers, Judson. John
and Asa, the originals of the famous
family, which furnished thirteen re-
markable singers and the material for
the several Hutchinson families" that
sang in every city and town in the
North. Judson soon swung his fam
lly' into the abolition movement. and
their songs aided greatly the growth
OF that opposition to slavery itself out
OF which grew the Republican party
and the extinction of slavery.
Men past the half-century post will
recall the thrill sent coursing through
their young veins by the singers who
came from the mountains of the old
granite state, and sang of patriotism
ana freedom and hostility to the en-
sbavement of fellow men. Later, when
the rising tide burst into war, the boys
whose patriotism had been stirred bv
them and had gone out to carry mus
kets and wear the blue heard the same
quartette singing war songs in their
camps and read with indignation Nc
Clellan's order expelling the singers
from the lines, an order that Lincoln
promptly revoked. 1t was Asa, if we
mistake not, who, after the war, NOV

of Hutchinson, giving it the famous

be received too late to win a prize. 1t
hardly needs to be added that no en-
ploye of the G / company will be
eligible in this contest
We believe that the working out of
these prize puzzle pictures will cultl-
vate a wholesome interest in and study
of American history; will give delight
full occupation to thousands of our
readers, and will make at least twelve
of them supremely happy. Observe
carefully the conditions of the compe-
tition. Send in solutions to six pictures
at a time, giving your name and
address, and get them to the C l o e
office as quickly as possible. In every
case the pictures must accompany the
replies. Cut out the pictures in series
of six, paste them on a sheet of paper
or on six separate sheets, pin them
together and write below each one the
answer required. We expect and hope
to develop. in the next six weeks, as
great an enthusiasm for the historical
puzzle picture contest as accompanied
the competition for the great summer
tours which the winners are now en-
joying at the G o b e's expense.

LITERARY OPPORTUNITIES.

A well known book reviewer, also as
sociated in the editorship of one of the
most prominent Of the periodicals, Ia
ments the fact that American writer's
confine themselves to narrow fields and
ignore the splendid opportunities which
are offered to them for broad and free
hand work, national in its scope 1t is
true that wrfters7'of the present day
schools dc c9pfine themselves largely
to miniatures, depicting with the photo
graphic accuracy Of what HamIin Car
land is pleased to call the verltist
school the petty types of petty places;
but it does not of necessity follow that
the custom is one to be deplored sweep
ingly. 1t is quite possible that authors
who have been successful in transfer
ring to the printed page the life and
characteristics Of some cfrcumscribed
locality might fail if more ambitious
work should be attempted. A well
drawn picture, even Of an obscure
phase of social life. is certainly supe-
rior to sketchyy crude and i'll propor-
toned attempt at the american
novel"
Themes are to be found on every
hand adapted to the wants of the most
ambitious of noyelists. Politics, social
development and economic progress all
furnish motives for masterpieces, rich

the aid of some other nation. Though
Austria may yet feel the smart Of Sa-
dowa, the awakening she there got of
fighting and velocity of movement will
make her hesitant of joining forces
with the nation that, five years later,
got taste of the same masterful tao
the German frontier to an alliance
with Russia as the only aid for her
carefully nursed hope Of revenge. But
II significance is given by the French
press to the word alliance" it should
also be given to the further statement
that the friendship and alliance" are

This, it is easy to see, is the imnedi-

When Siberia is developed, following
the completion of the transcontinental
railway, and the bear is firmly estab-
lished on the Pacific coast, and when
the projected waterway from the Bal
tic to the Black sea is finished the
car may be more disposed to warfare.
Every year renders less possible any
successful contest of France with Ger
many. If she was unable to cope with
Prussia in 1871, she is less so now
twenty-six years later. While it may
be that sometimes the battle is not to
the strong, but ''to the vigilant, the
active and the brave" and Japan has
again shown this to be true, it is diff
ferent when the strong is also vigilant,
active and brave. It is still more so
when the weaker nation grows weaker,
and the stronger one stronger This is
the case with these two countries. A
nation is weakening when it's growth

ten years. The German census of
December, 1885, showed a population of
46, S55, ,7O4, which, in 1897, has increased
to 52,244,5O3, a gain of 1888, ,799 in twelve
years. In the face Of these probabil-
tiles of Russian policy and conditions

their impotent wrath as they will, but
Alsace and Lorraine will ever be lost

BEHIND HIS AGE.

Some men are born a century or so
before their time and are called ge-
muses.. Originally they were burned at
the stake or cast into dungeons. Now
they are social lions On the other
hand few unfortunates are belated in
world is away beyond them, and they
furnish material for the paragraphers
of the funny papers. Mr.. Kerr, of Gin
cinnati, is an anachronism of this kind
when women were property and not
in this later age when there is always
a doubt in the minister's mind as to
who is to take the obey part in the
six-page letter and then attempted sui
eide, and all because his wife cheWed
tobacco. 1t does not appear whether
jt'RasT plain plug of fine cut, but per
haps that is immaterial He objected
to her, chewing at all, and that was the
cause of all his troubles. But he has
only himself to blame. He should have
known that in this year of our Lord
1897 women can chew gum or tobacco
or anything else they may please. A
man so brutal as to deprive his loving
heIpmeet of innocent and dainty di-
versions like tobacco chewing has 10
place in modern society. If he had been
allowed to play out the role Of domes-
tic tyrant to the end, he would, in all
hearts idol side pockets in her bicycle
skirt and shirt waists in red and green
plaids.
1t is possible, however, that Mr.. Kelr
is entitled to some pity with his con-
demnation. He did not know when he
was we'll off. If he had been blessed by
nature or fortune with a wife who lad
attended cooking school or who was de-
voted to a pet poodle, he might have
had reason to complain. With such a
life partner his ingenuity would have
been taxed to find proper revenge. A
man who considered suicide by drown
ing in the Ohio with six pages Of cx-
artless woman of tobacco chewing
would probably have looked upon six
volumes of decadent poetry and a bath
in caustic potash as about the only
things fitted to a real case of feminine
emancipation.

will be just as we'll understood and
unftness of silver. Men will grasp the
extremely simple fact that the develop
ment of commerce and credit has large
ly done away with the need for a tam
Sible substance as money, and will
presently be able to do without it al
together. They will then further see
that any standard for deferred pay
ments that has any unit by which the
terms of a contract are to be interpret
ed which changes in either direction,
up or down, for the benefit of debtor
or creditor, between the time when the
agreement is enterd into and the time
when it is discharged, is a consummate
fraud and swindle.
The value of any material substance
does so change. Such a substance,
therefore, is unfit to perform this Of
flee. That unfftness inheres in the metal
gold, as we'll as the metals silver and
copper Absolute invariability does not
exist and is not obtainable. Absolute
justice is. BY the use of composite
unit already described many times in
these columns, or what is known as
the multiple TENDER measuring the
terms of a loan by a fixed quantity of
all the great staples of life, and re-
quiring so many units to be paid back
as would purchase the same amount
of these commodities as did the origi-
mai loan, we not only secure both par
ties against wrong, but we substitute
an intangible fact for tangible meas
ure and clear the way for the abolition
of all metallic money whatever.
There is no more need today for the
use of gold as money than there is rea-
son why man whose house is COM
fortably warmed by a furnace should
possess himself of a warming pan. The
gold haters should find their wrath
soothed by the certainty that this
naughty metal is designed, at no late
day, to follow the way of what they
consider its wronged companion, and
be banished from monetary use. A cur
rency system preserving the descrip-
tlon OF science Will discard the sO-called
precious metals altogether, and all re-
cent financial discussion leads in that
direction The future of gold is con-
fined to a limit of use in the arts; and,
in the not distant future, men will no
more think of rushing away to an in
hospitable country to hunt for yellow
powder than they would of Drawing
the jungles of equatorial Africa in Or
der to bring back their pockets loaded
with ordinary black sand. The change
waits only a correcter appreciation of
the nature of money, the abolition of
legal tender acts and the adoption of
just standard, which in itself will do
away, practically, with all need of an
actual physical measure, which purpose
the precious metals now alone serve.

lack of men. in American fiction, who
the reviewer deplores, stands ready to
correct itself just as soon as writer's
avail themselves Of the material that
Is open to every author. But the ques-
ton already raised comes again to the
surface. The petty in literature may
not be the ideal. but it is better than
the inadequate. The simple story of
a farm hands love or devotion to duty,
told even in the dialect peculiar to
some quarter section of the country,
as long as 1t is faithful in color and
true in drawing, Is to be preferred,
from an artistic standpoint to the his
tory of a political campaign or the rise
of great industrial trust-suggested
as national themes-if fidelity and
breadth of treatment are lacking.
Art in pictures is not measured in
inches, and sculpture is not estimated
by the pound. Literature is not to be
condemned because it confesses Iimi-
tat1ons or to be commended simply be-
cause 1T attempts great things. In as
far as native writer's neglect the mas
ter motives Of American life because
they prefer to dabble in dialects or
study small sections, their Incidence is
to be deplored. On the other hand
they are to be praised for that meas
ure of modesty which impels them to
fight against the temptations held out
by great themes, even to the incompe-
tent. Discretion, in literature as else
where, is the better part of valor.

THE LOST PROVINCES OF

EHE LOST PkOEINtES OF FRANCE.
The "cause" of the South is not more
utterly lost" than are the provinces
of Alsace and Lorraine to France; but
she refuses to despair Oh regaining
them. When the Russian czar went
with his warships to make a friendly
demonstration in French waters two
years ago, the frenzied enthusiasm of
their reception was not so much love
for the Muscovite as the hope the event
gave rise to that hated Germany might
be crushed between allied Russia and
France. In the expressions of the
French papers over the reception given
President Faure by the czar the other
day we catch again the same aspira-
ton When Nicholas greeted Faure
he spoke of the friendship and alli-
ance' of the two nations, and in the
use of the last word the French papers
see the "open sesame that will give

a historical memory. The Germans had

of the spoliatfon of their empire by
