NO oaNGER OF CIVIL WAR.
why uncle SANS Big Family Win Hencs

~
why uncle Sans Big Family VIII Hence-
forward Live In Peace.
There is no longer any danger of a
civil war, says Woodrow Wilson in The
Atlantic. There was war between the
south and the rest of the nation because
their differences were removable in no
other way. There, was NO prospect that
slavery, the root of those differences,
would ever disappear in the mere proc
ess of growth. It twas to be apprehended,
OH the contrary, that the very processes
I Of growth would Inevitably lead to the
extension of slavery and the perpetual
ton of radical social and economic con-
trasts and antagonisms between state
and state. between region and region.
A heroic remedy was the only remedy,
Slavery being removed, the south is
now joined with the west joined with
it in stage of development, as a region
chiefly agricultural, without diversified
Industries, without multifarious trade,
without those subtle extended nerves
which come with all round economic
development, and which make men
keenly sensible of the interests that link
the world together, as it were, into a
single community But these are lines
of difference which will be effaoed by
mere growth, which time will calmly
ignore. They make no boundaries for
armies to cross.
Tide water Virginia was thus sepa-
rated once from her own population
within the Allegheny valleys - held
Gwo jealous sections within her own
Limits. Massachusetts, once knew the
sharp divergeaces of interest and design
which separated the coast settlements
upon the bay from the restless pioneers
who had taken up the free lands of her
own western counties. North Carolina
was once comfortable and Indifferent
"east" to the uneasy west that was
to become Tennessee. Virginia once
seemed old and effete to Kentucky.
The "great west" once lay upon the
Ohio, but has since disappeared there,
OVERLAND by the changes which have
carried the conditions of the east to
the great lakes and beyond.
There has never yet been time in
our history when we were without an
"east'' and west, but the novel day
when we shall be without them is now
in sight AS the country grows it will
inevitably grow homogeneous Popula-
ton will not henceforth spread, but
compact, for there is no new land be-
tween the seas where the ''west' can
find another lodgment. The conditions
which prevail in the ever widening
least" will sooner or later cover the
continent, and we shall at last be one
people.

THE ARTISTS PRIVILEGE.
No Phase Of Life Which the Realist Ma,
80 Not Touch.

+ .
In defense of his literary methods
Arthur Morrison. the English novelist,
writes in The New Review:
81 have been asked in print, if
think that there is no phase of life
which the artist may not touch. Most
certainly think this; more, know it.
1t is the artists privilege to seek his
material where he thinks we'll, and it
is no mans privilege to say him nay.
If the community has left horrible
places and horrible lives before his
eyes, then the fault is that of the COM
munity, and to picture these places and
these lives becomes not merely his priv
ilege. but his duty. 1t was my fate to
encounter a place in Shoreditch where
children were born and reared in cir
cumstances that gave those children no
reasonable chance Of living decent lives,
where they were born foredamned to a
criminal or semicriminal career. 1t
was my experience to learn the ways of
this place, to know its inhabitants, to
talk with them, eat, drink and work
with them.
For the existence Of this place and
for the evils it engendered the COM
munity was responsible, and every
member of the community was and is
responsible in his degree. If I had been
a rich man, might have attempted to
discharge my peculiar responsibility in
one way; if had been statesman. I
might have tried another Being neither
of these things, but simple writer of
fiction, endeavored to do my duty by
writing tale whereinsI hoped to bring
the condition Of this place within the
comprehension of others. There are
those who say should have turned
away my eyes and passed by on, the
other side, on the very respectable
precedent of the priest and the Levite
in the parable. =

The large number Of tourists who
in recent years have visited Japan have
added considerably to the revenue Of
tho country. It has been calculated
that every visitor spent IN his travels
not less than $500, and the aggregate
result Of tho arrivals from foreign
parts meant 100000 and 100000

Pittsburg Dispatch. Most Of this foil
into the hands OF curio dealers, who
palmed of inferior goods on ignorant
westerners, and OF the guides who
acted as their agents. To remedy This
abuse society was formed In 1893.
on tho initiative OF a number Of
Japanese noblemen and gentlemen, as
sisted by several influential foreign
residents. Its objects were to extend
. welcome to foreign tourists and to
render them every assistance during;
their stay in Japan. It aims at bring
ing within the tourists reach means Of,
accurately observing the features Of
tho country and the characteristics Of;
tho people; visiting public buildings
and places famous for scenic beauties:
seeing objects Of art, both ancient and,
modern; entering into social and COM
mercial relations with the people; In,
short, affording them all facility and
convenience toward the accomplish,
ment Of their aims, thus indirectly
promoting, in however small degree.
the cause Of international intercourse
and trade. Arrangements are made
for the provision Of trustworthy guides.
and facilities are given for travel and
sightseeing. Entrance Is obtained to
all the government establishments and
to the places of interest In different
parts Of the country. 1ntroductions
are provided to manufacturers and
merchants, so that although the main
object Of the society is Of a social ma

those who 60 to Investigate commercial
and industrial conditions. According
to the rank or personal record Of .

seem to warrant such an Introduction.
In the case of a distinguished tourist
the society might make arrangements
at its own cost to entertain him, 10
that its members and friends may
make his acquaintance.

Intelligence Of Swallows.


Grant Allen tells some curious and
wonderful things about swallows, In
making the mud walls of their nests,
they allow each layer to dry thorough
ly before proceeding to top it with an
other. In building their nests in Chin
neys they place them five or
six feet below the top to keep out of
the way OF owls, and not directly over
the fire, but over an adjoining due.
The emergence of the young birds
from this place is a remarkable in
stance of instinct which seems to al
most reach intelligence. AS soon as
they are strong enough to move, the
little things Chamber up the shaft by
beating their wings Gin some ineffect-
ual compromise between flop and a
f1utter. Having succeeded in reaching
the top, it is some time before they
venture to fly; they acquire the art by
degrees" Many instances have been
given Of their remarkable intelligence.
In one case a bell-wire on which a
swallows nest partly rested twice de-
molished it. Convinced that it was a
dangerous object, they constructed a
tunnel for the wire to pass through,
and were troubled no more. In an
other, a pair Of swallows were mo-
Tested by sparrows trying to force
them from their nest. They imme-
diately went to work and changed the
entrance Of their little home so that,
instead of opening by simple hole, It
had to be entered by passing through
a tunnel of straws and hairs.

Athletics and Health.

There Is popular delusion that an
athlete must necessarily be healthy;
man, by reason Of his athleticism, but
as a matter Of fact. muscular develop
ment is not an affair Of the constitu-!
ton; it is an accident, pure and sim;
pie. Strong limbs are frequently TO.
be found associated with weak,
heart, and many a strong man dies Of
consumption. If health may be de-:
fined as capacity for hanging on TO-
life, then in many cases the weakest
are the healthiest. If such dedni-
ton is accurate, women are healthier
than men, their average length Of
days being greater. 1t is doubtful
however, If centenarians, merely be-,
cause they are centenarians, are abso-'
lutely the healthiest. It is as hard to-
say what life is a. to say what health
Is, and the way In which unhealthi
people are tenacious of life is not su1Iny
