GLADSTONE AS A CHEMIST.

II Mr.. Gladstone seldom INDUCED in
sarcasm it was not because he lacked
the gift-for he possessed it in high
degree-but because he forbore to use
It. says the Fortnightly Review. To
hurt an opponents feelings gave him
pain and when he did it unintention-
ally he would sometimes cross the floor
Of the house, and, sitting for few mo-
ments by the side of the man whom
he had just demolished, say something
to assuage the wound. One of his most
persistent, but never ill-natured, crit
les was the late Sir John Pope Hen
messy. who told me the following story
to illustrate this generous trait in Mr..
Gladstone's character: Sir John prided
himself on his knowledge OF chemistry
and in one of the debates on the COM
mercial treaty with France he made a
speech exposing, as he believed, Sc
rious chemical blunder in the treaty.
Mr.. Gladstone followed, "and soon
turned me inside out in the most anus
ing manner" said Hennessy in relat-
ing the story, proving, as II he had
been a chemist by profession, that 1t
was who had blundered egregiously."
Having thus disposed of his critic Mr.
Gladstone went and sat by him for
moment. "I hope you don't feel hurt,
Mr.. Hennessy," he said. Your speech
was ingenious and it may console you
to know that the emperor of the
French made precisely the same objec-
ton that you have made. The fact
is. both you and he know a good deal
about chemistry, but not enough to
keen you from going astray."

A Chicago junk dealer has been US
ing his 6-year-old boy as cart horse.
The boy was hitched to small wagon
by means of strap, performing the
labors of the noble equine while his
father went along and gathered up old
rags and iron. On the day that po-
liceman arrested the father the little
fellow had travelled many miles
through muddy alleys, and had a look
Of weary resignation on his face just

One OF the results Of the late war be-
tween the United States and Spain
will most likely be the abolition Of
that form of naval piracy which finds
its justification in prize courts. In the
military service of the civilized world
the principle of looting conquered ter
ritory has long since been abandoned.
Yet, through that strange contradiction
which has not reformed the navy in
the same ratio in which the army has
been brought under civilizing infu-
ences, not only did the merchant YES
sells carrying contraband goods fall a
prey, but a valuation of the warships
destroyed is bound to go to officers and
sailors Of the ships engaged in the

The race problem, in dealing with
Puerto Rico, is quite certain to be a
difficult one; but the religious problem
will be still more perplexing. The in
habitants Of the island are-substan-
TALLY without exception-Roman Cath
olics. Although there are millions of
Americans Of the same faith, the new
citizens of our country will naturally
regard us as Protestant people. They
are accustomed to a religion establish
ed by law and supported by the state.
There will be nothing of the sort here
after. The Puerto Ricans will have
perfect freedom in religion, but they
must support their own institutions,
or rely upon Roman Catholics here and
in other countries to provide the funds.

on the fenhe will go down in history
along with the charge up San Juan

to be more powerful than The Grimes
