Theft of Ideas.

Professor Max Muller, in a recent ar
ticle in The Fortnightly Review, en-
titled Condolences, - traces theorigin
Of certain beautiful passages in modern
poets to the Sanskrit, Heine. and
Matthew Arnold being among the spe-
cial victims Of his great erudition.
Plagiarism hunters have been for long
time alert to impale the idea robbers.
Many of these sagacious critics are
probably as anxious to exploit their own
research as to add to the sum of human
truth. One can only think in following
many of these animadversions that the
sleuthhounds of literature have an end
less pursuit on their hands. There is
scarcely a great poet from Chaucer
down to Tennyson who has not been in
some sense plagiarist. Shakespeare
was one Of the greatest of, literaryuban-
dts. though he always immensely en-
riched what he stole. The punitanio
Milton even is not free from the. re-
proach, and among modern poets Ten
nyson has appropriated lavishlyy from
those who have gone before, especially
the old Greek poets. Even in such es-
sentially original poets as Shelley and
Wordsworth, each unique in his special
place, the sleuth dog will find good
hunting ground.
In music the opportunity is equally
good. Handel, it is we'll known, 'rided
without scruple among the old Italian
composers, and many Of his most ad-
mired airs are transposed with change
Of rhythm and easily detected disloca-
TONS From the very nature Of music
it is easy to do this, and such geniuses
as Mozart, Weber and Gounod have not
been exempt from the charge. Genius,
however, strives to add something when
it steals, and this perhaps is its justif-
cation. There is nothing new under the
sun now, and all that the cleverest man
Of genius does in many instances is to
present the old gem in some novel set
ting which enhances its beauty.

Spelling Reform.

From time to time the demand Tor
change in English photography is press
ed with zeal. In the ranks Of the re-
formers are many who present scholar
y and practical reasons, yet the prog
ress made has been very gradual. AT
hYst view the Inconsistencies in our
language in spelling and orthoepy as
well are extraordinary and unreason-
able. Viewed more thoughtfully, these
apparent defects are evidences Of the
splendid vigor and growth of our
tongue, like the irregularities Of a great
tree. A rich and abundant life never
expands according to rule. Changes in
spelling have taken place from century
to century in an organic way without
artificial pressure. It seems on the
whole wisest to leave it at that.
There are 50 many objections to radi-
cal and sweeping changes in orthogra-
ply that it is doubtful whether any suffi-
cient consensus of intelligent opinion
could ever be effected to carry out the
aims of the spelling reformers. The
greatest of these relates to the value of
words as fossils of the past. Our Ian
guage is a great bed of these fossils,
which tells an eloquent story of the his
tory, institution and social usages which
mark the milestones of development
from barbarism to our present highly
advanced status. One is reminded of the
fly embalmed in amber. It is this fact
which gives English words in great de-
gree their strength and significance.
The same thing holds true Of other Ian
guages Of course, but in the case of such
a composite as our noble tongue it is a
superlative fact. Planned down by arbi-
trary rule, English would be Samson
shorn Of his locks. Al1cthe minor in
conveniences Of complicated spelling
are not to be considered by the side Of
this invincible claim. English: in spite
of its structural obstacles and the al.
legged difficulty which foreigners have
in acquiring it, is the commercial
tongue of the world. More than any
other it bids fair to become the univer-
sal language. This does not seem as if
its photography presented so serious an
objection as the spelling reformers urge.

tary enthusiast ard has seen the best
they can do at fighting and soldering
in the armies Of Europe. The blood of
Nathaniel Greene of the Revolution
courses in his veins, and it was for
tunate day when he met the militia
boys who had war record to sustain in
this year 1898.
Everywhere that the Seventy-first has
been tested it has proved splendid
regiment for the front. A correspondent,
writing from it's camp around Santiago
the day before the battle, says that the
boys acted as though they were out on
picnic. That was the spirit in which
they took everything after landing
among the first. On the march out to-
ward Sevilla the regiment saw an en-
CINE which the Spaniards attempted to
run away after blowing up railway
trestle. Failing to save it, they were
trying to dismantle it, but the Seventy
first dashed in and drove them away.
The engine was secured, and men from
the Seventy-frst set to work and put it
into shape for use by Uncle SANS army.
When the news of the ambushing of
ROOSEVELT rough riders reached the in
fantry column, the Seventy was
just crossing the mountain toward the
front. At the call for help the regiment
went at double quick for three miles.
The men were more heavily laden at
the time than any other regiment on the
ground, having extra rations and re-
serve supply Of cartridges, all of which
were to be needed before the stress was
over in front Of Santiago.
The crossing Of the mountains be-
tween the sea and Santiago was most
difficult undertaking, owing to the ex-
IRENE heat, and was dangerous as we'll.
The only pathways are narrow defles,
where the Spaniards had every chance
to, delay the march. Outside Of the mar
row paths the ground is covered: with a
jungle, in the midst Of which the SOL
diers toiled during the. battle of Ell
Caney.

Some Of the most CURIOUS of lawsuits
have grown out Of inheritance cases
where husband and wife have persisted
in a common catastrophe. The issue has
been to determine whether husband
or wife died first, thus fixing the line of
inheritance for the relations Of one or
the other. Such a case has sprung from
the Bourgogne disaster, involving the
disposition of some $50, 000.. The pre-
sumption in such cases in absence of
proof is always against the wife, as be-

1t there had been no other reason for
our Intervention in Cuban affairs, the
perpetual danger to our land from yell
low fever would have been worth con-
sidering. For example, Cuban fever i'm
ported into New Orleans in 1878 cost
the country the loss of many thousand
lives and of 5000, 900, 900. Havana and
Santiago have been the two great hot
beds of this dreadful epidemic. Now
that we have taken possession of one of
these danger centers, the application of
sanitary skill and experience may be
looked for. The present condition Of
Santiago is an abomination. But there
is good reason for supposing that what
General Buffers stern energy and
gumption did in New Orleans in 1853
can be duplicated in the Cuban city. If
the problem is more difficult one, san
itary science is vastly better equipped
to meet it today. The situation of San
tiago, surrounded by healthy and breezy
hills, too, offers excellent opportunities
for the treatment Of fever patients IN
der desirable hospital advantages. Our
own sick soldiers are enjoying the bene-
fit Of the test. There is no reason why
the yellow fever terror in Cuba cannot
be so shorn Of its threats as to cease to
alarm the world. But to accomplish
this will require the dominating force
Of American energy and knowledge i'm
ported into native shiftlessness. Spanish
ignorance has kept the disease endemic
for 200 years. But what English capaci-
ty, and vigor did in Jamaica can be
easily repeated.

MEN, WOMEN
AND MARRIAGE.

While we devoutly believe that it
is the duty of every able-bodied man,
who is capable of supporting her, to
love and marry some good woman, if
she also loves him, we do not believe
it to be at all obligatory on woman to
marry That is, we do not think it is
her duty to marry, in the sense that
we believe it to be the duty of man to
marry.
This difference in relative attitude
toward each other in respect of mar
riage seems established by the fact
that nature, as well as custom, makes
man the proposer of marriage, while
to woman is left nothing but to accept
or reject. The very conditions Of the
case not only necessarily make it a
matter OF choice with woman in every
particular proposal, but also as to the
whole matter of matrimony. If it
were her duty. to marry, both nature
and custom would be bound in good
faith tc allow her to seek companion,
to chose him, court him and put the
question: as both forbid ber to do
this, except as she may consciously
or unconsciously make herself attrac-
to the other sex, it follows that she is
under no obligation to marry, unless
she choose to do so. in voluntary ac-
ceptance OF some proposal made to
her. Mans position, however, makes
it obligatory on him, unless in excep-
tional circumstances, to seek some wo-
man in marriage, she freely consent
ing thereto, but being in no wise
bound to do so, save where she had
led him in some designed way to make
the proposition to her.
This is just and right.

WOMEN's OCCUPATIONS.

| Some interesting facts as to the
! prog ress of women in professional and
business life are brought to light by
glance at certain pages of the last ma
tional census, AMI compiled by the
Post. Surprising as it may seem,
women fail to appear in only two OF
the specified gainfill occupations. the
very two which it would be physically
impossible for them to nter,-namely,
those of the soldier and sailor.
1t is hard to believe that there are
women among locomotive engineers
and liremen, yet the census shows 4.
OF engineers and fircmen, not locomc-
tive, there are A. As apprentices to
masons, plumbers, carpenters, carriage
makers, and blacksmiths, the number
of women ranges from | to 8 each,
while many more figures in these pur-
suits as regular workmen. There is |
woman pilot, and | wheelwright, and
there are 234 draymen, hackmen, and
teamsters. No women were found in
these last three occupations in 1880.
More than 90 per cent. of the women
and girls of the United States, ten
years of age and over, arc engaged in
remuneratiye occupations. Nearly
half of the 3,9l4,57l women so EN-
ployed are found in domestic service.
The manufacturing and mechanical in-
dustries stand next, the number being
swelled by factory operatives. Only
about 81 per cent. work in professions.
Although 4 large proportion of these
are teachers, there Is marked in-
crease in the number of women follow
ing other lines of professional work.
The most astonishingly large per-
centage of increase among profession
al women is in the ranks Of the clergy.
From l6o women ministers in 1880
the number becomes 1,l43 in 1880.
Dentists in 1880 were 81, and 337 in
1890, another remarkable increase. The
number of women lawyers also nearly
trebled itself in ten years, there being
2OS at the last census. Physicians
and surgeons are stated at 2,432 in
1880, and in 1890 at 4,557. Veterinary
surgeons and civil engineers are Who'll.
ly absent from the list Of 1880, but
appear ten years later.
From these facts it will be seen that
women are gladly availing themselves
of the greater educational faculties
now offered, and of each new profess
sional opening. Without doubt the
standard of ability in teaching has adj
vanced of late years, partly because
girls of education and refinement are
no longer driven to that as the only
means of supporting themselves,
without regard to their actual fitness
for it. Judging from the number of
women students now focking to our
professional schools and business col
leges. the census of 1900 will reveal
even more startling changes.
