HAND TO MOUTH.

In America People Leave Nothing for
Their Children to spend.
In America 1t is the custom-very
nearly the universal custom-for par
ents to spend upon the luxuries and
pleasures of the family life the whole
income, says the North American Re-
view. The children are educated ac-
cording to this standard Of expenditure
and are accustomed to all its privileges.
No thought is taken of the time when
they must set up households for them
selves-almost invariably upon very
different scale from the one to which
they have been used. To the American
parent this seems only natural down.
fall. They remark cheerfully that they
themselves began in small way and
1t will do the young people no harm to
acquire a similar experience, forgetting
that in most cases their children have
been educated to much higher stand
ard Of ease than that Of their own early
life. They do not consider 1t obligatory
to leave anything to their children at
death. They have used all they could ac-
cumulate during their own lifetime
let their children do the same. The re-
suits of the system are cyrstallized in
the American saying, There are but
three generations from shirt sleeves to
shirt sleeves" The man who acquires
wealth spends what ho makes. His
children, brought up in luxury, s.rug-
gle unsuccessfully against conditions to
which they are unused, and the grand
children begin in their shirt sleeves td
toll for the wealth dissipated by the
two preceding generations.

His behavior interested her. He

the young fellow dropped his brush and

from the meeting.
This was practically declaration
that the present low rates via the Gulf

by the passing of an order upon the
chairman of the Transcontinental

That the world Is full of dissatisfied
and unhappy people we all know. but
very few of us give any thought to one
Of the principal causes of the despon-
dency and sadness of the race. It is
only when we have almost finished our
lives that we learn that great expecta-
tions and high hopes are only extremes
from which we must recover, and that
every undue anticipation is an nnnat-
ural condition, and must bring Its re-
action in corresponding depression. II
is very much better to preserve fair
equilibrium under all circumstances.
"A perfectly splendid time" is almost
invariably followed by a series Of
events that almost rob life Of Its
brightness. It is not that anything sc
terrible has really occurred, but the
good time has raised the hopes so high
and filled the heart with such bright
anticipation Of future good times that
everyday pleasures appear tame and
insipid.

pressed the hope and the belief that be-
fore many years the great cataract Of
Niagara will be turned aside from its
course and every particle of Its majes-
tic force utilized in furnishing electric
nower to the mills and railroads Of the
surrounding region. The harnessing
Of the giant to the service of man has
already begun. and there will be two
opinions as to the wisdom Of carrying
the process Of subjugation so far. Ma
terial advantage is not the only thing
to be considered; grand and beautiful
scenery has value that cannot
be expressed in dollars. and cents. No
amount of increased industrial wealth
could make good the loss Of Niagara

If love were the offspring of merit,
then patriotism would find no difficulty
in showing why country Is worth low
ing. But the Turk loves a land that
has no freedom; the Spaniard, like the
Irishman, loves country that has nc
prosperity; the Chinaman loves land
that has no inspiration; the Eskimo
loves a land that has for others nc
natural beauty. Men of each OF these
nationalities love their home land ap.
parently for no other reason than be.

born in country makes Its patriots,
there will be no better reason to give
II patriots would make their country
If the people would all help to make
their country better worth loving-the
word patriotism would not sometimes
mean SO little. 1t is poorly worth the
name If it implies no more than the
habit of association that attaches the
savage to his hunting ground or brings
back the exiled cat to Its wonted gar
ret. True patriotism is something more
than blind instinct Nor Is patriotism
a mere sentiment. 1t Is a principle OF
duty: and it becomes more 'benencienl
as It grows more enlightened. Ina'
will be when patriots cease to cry, "oui
country. right or wrong" and insis, ,,
that its public life and its politics shall
have nothing in them of which they
need feel ashamed.
