The arguments for supporting the
statement that we live in great coun-
try include one based on the statistics
of rainfall. A recent official document
declares that rain probably falls every
day in the year at one point or another
in the United States. Some of the coun-
tries whose governments make a great
stir in the world might almost be wet
down with a goodsized American
thunder-shower. We have territory
large enough for several contemporaries
Gus performances of this sort. Meas
ured by rain or sunshine. the weather
assets of the United States at any
given moment are alike munificent and
impressive. AS part of the cunula-
tive evidence to the truth Of this asser-
ton, it may be said that there is not
a waking moment. in all probability,
in which an umbrella is not being bor-
rowed within our borders, to keep off
the rain or the sunshine.

MS ATTENTIVE AUDIENCE,

Two Views Of the Lecture Deliye,s.
by a Novelist I'm a New Jers.s
Town.
A well known novelist delivered
lecture recently in a New Jersey town
not far from this city, in which he read
selections from his own works. His
reputation and the society that en-.
gagged him brought together an audi.
ence composed Of the best people Of the
neighborhood. After the lecture. when
people met, il was the proper thing for
one to ask the other:
Were you at the lecturer" and the
answer in every case was:
"Oh. yes; | was there, but couldn't
hear word. Did you hear the lect
ure!'
We'll, no; was there, but couldn't
hear. either"
A friend who met the novelist, few
days after his visit to the suburban
town, asked him what kind of an audi
ence he had, and how he liked tn
town.
Its fine place." was the reply
land l had the most attentive aud
ence that l have ever spoken to. n
one made n sound, and didn't have I

An excellent illustration Of Shake
speare's oft-quoted good in every
thing" is afforded by the disposition OF
the revenue derived by the French gov
eminent from the tax on betting at
horse-races. The proceeds Of the tax
last year exceeded seven and a half
million francz, or more than million
and a half dollars. Among the good
objects to which this money was APP
propriated were: Paris charities,
seventy-five thousand dollars; provin-
cial hospitals, three hundred thousand
dollars; institutions making researches
into methods of curing or preventing
consumption, twenty-five thousand dol
lars; and sixteen thousand dollars for
the erection Of a hall for charity meet
ings in Constantinople. 1t is a pity
that betting cannot be taxed out OF
existence; since that is not possible,
the next best thing is TO make the
gamblers pay for good objects as far
as the money that can be squeezed out
OF them will 60.

bad spelling" says scientist. is
disease" 1t may be an inheritance
also. 1t is not, however, necessarily
evidence of ignorance. There are peo-
pie without an ear for music, and there
are those who have no ear for spelling
They may be thoroughly educated in
other respects, and never be able to
learn to spell correctly off-hand except
as to words in constant use, and they
may even have to relearn them every
day. Let US remember that in many
cases they are the victims not Of ig-
norance but OF an infirmity.

The war "reminiscences of the late
Charles A. Dana, now in course Of
publication in one OF the magazines,
establish fact that every person to
whom profanity is an offenss will be
glad to hear. Mr.. Dana saw much OF
General Grant during the most per-
picking period Of the civil war, and he
asserts that he never heard the great
Union leader utter profane word. Mr..
Dana himself was for many years a
tireless worker in field In which pro-
family is common. Every man who
enjoyed the privilege Of working near
him will testify that in the midst OF
the exciting requirements OF his duties
Mr.. Dana was guiltless of the sin and
vulgarity of profanity.

A Boston lady says, giving advice
TO her too-retiring sisters, "A shrink
ing self-effacement can in time be
overcome by throwing out the chest
and carrying the head high in regal
attitude of self-confidence." Yet 1t is
buncombe. 1t is fraud. A regal at
titude of self-confidence is utterly i'm
possible to a shrinking self-efface-
ment. The trouble is that somebody
always comes up to it and remarks
boo" in rude manner. and imme-
diately the regal attitude closes itself
against the world like sensitive
plant. No, dear lady; you can't make
marble out of cream.

The shooting of Ruiz, peace COM
missioner from Banco to Aranguren,
at first glance looks like the assassina-
ton Of bearer OF the white flag; but
the commissioner who has instructions
to bride is meaner than any spy, and
knows, as Ruiz said of himself, that
he is going to his own death. There
was great villainy in Weyler as gov
ernor- general; but his admiration OF
duplicity may oblige him to call his
successor his lord and master.

relief from mental strain the reading

the other $1,000. In the $1,000 lot are
al the $1,000 $500 and $4,000 coats.
IL would be n strange thing IL these
magnificent garments for ladies should
not find owners. There is little doubt,
however, but that they will, as all are
olered without reserve. This course
is necessary, Mr.. Lowenberg says, be-
cause he cannot afford to show a gar
ment next year except It be new.

goods has TO make great sacrifices ms
the eeason approaches the end, and

besides the cloaks. other lines are TO
