LEARNED, BUT INDTSCREE,

What Is the matter at Harvard? 1t
is evident that some Of the lights and
leaders there don't realize what the sit
uation is. If they did they would hard
ly be so unpatriotically indiscreet as
they appear to be. 1t is time for them
to wake up.
We read that Professor Charles Eliot
Norton in his lecture room described
the present war as the second inglori-
Gus war in our history, brought on by
politicians and newspapers, waged
upon trumped-up pretexts. AS to en-
listments, he thought that no Harvard
man entering the service at this time
could be credited with patriotism. 1t
might be called misguided courage, but
it was not true patriotism. He did not
by this country in showing a weak lit
tie fellow up into a corner and then
forcing him to fight. Professor Norton
is fine old man, but he doesn't begin
to be as fine as the fine young man who
got right up in his presence and pro-
tested against such talk.
1t is also related that other members
of the Harvard faculty have talked to
the boys on the subject of student en-
listments and deprecated these as "un-
called for.' And Professor Mac Vane
has declared in a lecture that the war
with Spain is unjustifiable and might
have been avoided.
Such talk may not be exactly giving
aid and comfort to the enemy, but it is
near enough to it to make it reprehen-
sible. The time has gone by for that
kind of talk II the Harvard peace
party must talk it's talking should be
done very privately just now. The
present duty of all interested in the
progress and prosperity Of the United
States is to back up the government
with might and main. The Harvard
peace professors can learn something
from President Gilman of Johns Hop
kins university, Maryland, who has
posted this bulletin: ANY student of
this university entering the. mill
tary or naval service of the govern
ment at this crisis will do so without
any detriment to his standing in the
university, and will have the best
wishes of his teachers and associates"

THE PATRIOTIC Rich.

There has lately been a disposition to
charge the rich with being unpatriotic,
but they are coming to the front in
great shape now. Hated Wall street is
showing the same kind of sturdy and
efficient patriotism it showed in the
civil war. The New York bankers are
preparing to see the government
through in whatever it wants to borrow
at low rate of interest. John Jacob
Aston has raised regiment at his own
expense and has offered his own SER
vices. Helen Gould has offered to give
the government 100000. ]. Pierpont
Morgan has given the use of his fast
steam yacht free Of charge. And so
forth and so on.
Money and patriotism are good things
for a country to have in wartime.
With rich and poor united in patriot-
ism, and the rich giving freely of their
substance to support the government,
this country is fortunate.

MORE NEUTRdLS.

France, Mexico. the Argentine Repub-
lie, Belgium and Korea have been add
ed to the list of countries which will
mind their own business while the
United States is trying to impress
Spain. 1t is reported that neutrality
will be declared by Portugal to-day,
and the Portuguese minister at Wash
ington has made some smooth talk.
No anxiety is felt about Germanys at
titude, although she has not formally
said what she will do.
If Spain had any real belief that she
was going to get much outside help in
contest with the United States she
knows better now. And she has still
more to learn.

the rails on land at the departure and
arrival, so that the trains would simply
steam on to the platform and steam off
1t when the platform reached the oppo-
site coast. The scheme was the ampli-
fication, on a vast scale, of the little
platform which is used to convey foot
passengers between st. Malo and ST.
Servan. The new project, he said, had
been the subject Of careful study by
the Compagnie de Fives-Lille, which
was convinced of the practicability, the
facility of execution and the relative
economy of that method of transit by
rail between France and England. The
plan, he argued, had the advantage
over it's predecessors of being very sim
pie and of insuring absolute safety. 1t
also avoided the principal international
objections raised against the project of
the bridge above the water No obsta-
Gle to navigation would be created by
it, and the insular situation of England
would remain intact. He thought that
the work could be completed in five
years, and that the total cost would not
exceed three hundred and fifty million
francs, three times less than bridge
above water.

Il BIG AND BOLD SCHEME

There are some big and bold schemes
in these days. One of them is a scheme
for doing away with the rough channel
passage between France and England.
1t was discussed in Paris the other day
at a meeting of the Channel Bridge
company. M. Thevenet lie Boul, chief
engineer of the Points ct Chaussees,
member of the technical committee of
the company, explained that the new
method proposed for crossing the chan
mel consists in rolling on a bridge sub
merged to the depth of fifteen metres

deed, the trimming always lifts well
above the crown and especially high in
back.
Sometimes there Is just one big roll,
usually Of gauze covered with net,
which is often black or white spotted
with black. Sometimes wreath of
close packed roses or violet punches is
the roll that is covered with gauze, and
often the roll Is made of several diff
ferent colors, an edge of each showing
under the final wrapping. A great
buckle confines the roll portion of the
trimming at the front or little to one
side, and from under this quilts or two
short plumes rise. Even the tiny head
gear for playhouse or concert room
cannot escape this uplift of quills or
plumes. Usually on this style of hat
it is the latter, as it was on the model
pictured here. This was a toque of
turquoise blue chiffon draped over a
wire frame and trimmed at the left
side with loops of the same shade of
silk, edged with double rows of rides
cent spangles. It's plumes We're white.
Quilts are wonderful this year. They
are amazingly wide at the top and often
all the way down. They are spangled,
enameled in colors and painted all
sorts of wonderful ways, so that if a
wild Indian came along he would say,
gazing upon a hat so trimmed, What
lovely taste these civilized folks have,
to be sure!" 1t is claimed that quilts
are shed naturally by their first wear
ers at the moulting season, that lots of
them come from the barnyard, and that
the reproach of sacrificing bird life
does not attach to wearing them

very much modified sometimes-trim-

ScLECIlsG SEED CORN.
1t should Be Done as Soon as the Grain
 Is Hardened.

In many localities the hof, dry weather we had in July and the early part of August affected the quantity and yield of the corn to such an extent
 that it will be an item next spring to secure good seed corn. The safest and
 best plan is to lay in the needed supply
 this fall asA store it away where it will
 keep in good condition.
 The best time to select the seed corn
 is in the fall as soon as the grain is well hardened In addition to making
 sure of good supply, selecting in the
 field in the fall affords a better oppor-
 tunity for making the best selection, as the stalk as well as the ear can be considered, which, of course, cannot
 be done after the corn is cribbed. l When the conditions of growth will 1 admit the best seed corn is that which
 is selected from what is grown on the 1 farm, provided, of course, that proper
 care is taken in the selection.
 | When the first selection is made it | is always best to select rather larger
 quantity than will be needed. This
 gives an opportunity of making sec
 ond selection One item in selecting the ears is to choose those that are well 1 filled both at the tip and at the butt. | The grain should be sound and deep. | While it is difficult to secure very | large ear without a fairly good-sized
 cob, yet getting ears with deep grains | will make considerable difference in | the size of the cob. So far as can be done the ears should be uniform in
 color, shape, of grain and time of ma turity
 After sufficient quantity is secured
 it should be thoroughly dried, and then
 stored where it will keep dry and be safe from vermin. One of the most serious objections 10 taking seed corn from crib in the spring is the risk that it's vitality may have been injured by it's being damp when thrown into
 the crib or while standing in the field and then being frozen. Exposure to
 cold does not injure the vitality when
 the grain is thoroughly dry, but if damp
 it is often seriously injured l@ frost. Good seed is so essential to good growth and yield that it will be good economy to use all reasonable oare to
 secure a full supply.-St. Louis Repub- lie T
