Sir Edwin Arnold has his say about
Americans and empire making. as all Eng
lishmen feel Obliged to do. 1t is a little
say" and not of much consequence. He
thinks We will succeed. and all the better
because Of the obstacles to overcome. Then
he drifts into matters which are more in
his line and says. with a solemn air:
1t is in the little things of everyday life
winch mold. maintain and vitality influence
communities. and ii viii be by little things,
IL at all, that the great republic will-if ever
fall short of a glorious future. For in
stance. there are three customs at present
prevailing in the States to reform which
would be of more national advantage than
many victories. The first Is the miserably
small print of most of the journals, which
is secretly rendering the people myopic. The
next is the baleful habit of drinking iced
water before and while eating. And third
Is the pernicious transatlantic practice Of
employing plated knives at meals, which is
a hidden Nemesis arising from the too OBJ
soinate independence of the race.
There is nothing like having a kind friend
to point out ones errors. Americans know
that as a race they have faults. but few
would have selected the three named by
Sir Edwin as the most glazing.

Before the hat is passed for Admiral
Dewey's benefit ought not that gentleman
to have the privilege of saying whether or
not such a proceeding will be agreeable to
him? There is no fault to find with the
spirit that has suggested the plan of making
him a valuable gift of a home and a bank
account to which all the American people
may contribute il they wish. The people
honor and admire him. and IL is natural that
they should wish to testify in a substantial
way to their appreciation. But it is barely
possible that the admiral may prefer that
their regard for him should be manifested
in some other way Some persons, even in
this money-loving age, have a delicacy
about accepting gifts of money. Admiral
Dewey is not wealthy, perhaps. but he has
a salary sufficient to supply the wants of a
family dependent upon him. 1t would be
well to make sure that he is willing for SUBJ
scriptions to be taken in his behalf. He
may ave other ideas. When General
Kitchener came back from the Sudan the
English people were ready to prove their
gratitude in any way. and he showed the
way by urging them to raise a u for
the establishment of a college at Khartum-
The money was raised and he will have the
satisfaction of seeing the people of the con-
quered province started in the ways of civ
ilization- The Fflipinos are perhaps a de-
gree less savage than the Dervishes. but
they fall considerably below the American
standard. Perhaps Admiral Dewey could

eminent, n the most acceptable token of
the regard of Americans for this great
naval hero prove to be a memorial placed

Pennsylvania is now considering a bad
case of careless and hasty legislation. A
law known as the Birmingham charter act
existed for the governing OF small towns.
For some reason this Law was repealed. hut
no provision was made for the government
OF the numerous towns which had Obtained
their charters under the act. They are
therefore now without any legal existence
and greatly embarrassed in the .ransac-
ton of business. some Of them having bonds
to levy and collect taxes. but are without
authority to do so, while others wish to
erect water plants and make contracts for
various enterprises. The only remedy seems
to be in calling a special session nf the
Legislature.

Mark Twain's lawyers. it is said. have
just bought for him the old frame house in
which he was born at Florida, Mo. He in
tends to renovate the place and restore 1t
to the condition II was in during mis- boy
hood A good many people will understand
and appreciate the feeling which leads him
to this act. The wish to own and return to
the old home is common among those whose
memories of childhood are agreeable. 1t is
apt to exist most frequently when the home
has been on a farm or in a country village,
the sentiment clinging to a city house being
much less permanent. The ambition to
buy back the old farm where happy days
were spent is cherished oftener than it is
fulfilled. and the hope perhaps affords Tore
satisfaction than would The realization.
Nevertheless, Mark Twain will be congratu-
lated on the achievement Of his purpose.

There is a good deal Of criticism of Kip
ling's "Stalky and Company stories afoat.
The objections are varied. Some readers
find them too slangy, some complain that
they glorify schoolboys' mischief too much.
some merely say they are poor stuff" and
do not trouble to specify why. 1t is worth
noting. however. that these critics are all
mature persons. whose schoolboy days are
long gone by. Ask boys. those now in school
or those who have so recently left it that the
spirit Of youth cfings to them still. and you
will hear a different verdict. They like
"Stalky and Company" naughty as they
are, unfamiliar as their slang Is to American
ears, and different as their school methods
are. 1t is worth while to reflect that MI.
Kipling may have been writing for boys on
this occasion and not expecting the approval
of their elders.

well held that the inquiry of imperialism
