THE ONE-LAUGH PIECE.
And the More Substantial Fun We En-
Joy Over and Over Again.

"There are some things" said Mr..
Stoggleby, "that seem to have just
one laugh in them, and no more; I've
had a good, lively laugh, if not a
downright hearty one, out of some
piece, and then when / came to read
it over again found it as dry as a bone
1t had one laugh in it, but that was
all; it was a good idea, but light and
thin, and without much real sub
stance.
"And then Pye read things that /
could laugh at time and again, that !
really enjoyed reading over, These
are the things that have some real sub
stance; some striking idea that more
than glitters, something that satu-
rates us and fills us up with joy, as
We may be sure it did the creator who
put it forth. For such things as these,

Gossips and the Gossiping Habit.

Gossip is bad habit that very few
are entirely free from, Gossip is like
swearing; every respectable person
tries to quitit. People who are known
as gossips are always cheap people,
and they are never respected, for the
real on that anyone who finds amuse-
ment in gossip, lacks intelligence,
fairness and every other quality that
makes men and women worthy of re-
spect. A person who gossips does
himself or herself more harm than the
person gossiped about; people have
learned, after long experience, that
gossops usually exaggerate, and that
a gossip is always unprincipled, and
always idle and vicious. If it were
Possible for gossips to ruin reputa-
tions there would be no such thing as
GOA reputation, for no one ever es-
capped being talked about. When a
vicious person has a grudge against
anyone, his first attempt is to inJure
him by talking about" him. Every
thief gossips about honest men, and
honest men are not injured, because
worthy people have learned to look
upon gossip with distrust. People
have learned that every gossip has
some hidden history that is discredit-
able, and gossip is therefore damaging
to the person who retails it.--Atchi-
son Globe.

TALL AMERICANS.
Points of Advantage We Have Over
Foreigners.

Julian Ralph, who is able to see
things with an Englishman's eye, aft
etbeing for some years absent from
Brooklyn, says that the tallness Of
American children is surprising. He
gees thousands Of them in London
anu their skyward increase is the
more noticeable because they arc in
contrast with the average British
bo5Swho is apt to be a runt. The
height of our women and their ca
pacious development and superior
health are said to impress foreigners
on their first arrival in America.
These facts probaly prove that Amer
lea is a good country to live in, that
we have room to grow and are taking
advantage Of the opportunity. We
are still, as a people, keeping to the
old notion that it is well to have a bit
of ground about the house; our
health boards insist that the factory
and school shall supply certain num-
Der of feet of air to each occupant;
we are multiplying play grounds and
parks, though as to play grounds we
have not half enough of them yet; we
are spending every year longer time
in the country and are buying or rent
ing little be Ies among the hills, or on
the shore, and, in the matter of diet
no people live so generously as the
Americans
We are the only people who have
meat on the table constantly. We
have fruits of all kinds by the ton, our
bread is made so cheap and good that
the city housekeeper never thinks Of
making it any more, and has probably
forgttten how, and as to our vege-
tables, we have the greatest variety
enjoyed by any nation. If you live in
England you cannot have baked
beans, or green corn, or pumpkin pie
or dandelions, or spaghetti, or whole
lot of things that grow right here and
are full of nutriment. And again, we
Shave not, as people, put our children
at trades in their early teens. We
hake kept them at school as long as
our means enabled us to do so, aid
have encouraged them to play more
or less in their free hours and to walk
and swim.
But, especially, we have made their
position easy for the women who are
their mothers. There are no other
women who have so easy a time as
ours, unless it may be the inmates of
a Turkish harem, who are not sup
posed to do anything but grow fat and
try to keep their looks. In other
lands the woman works early and late,
she tolls in the fields like a common
laborer, she fights off common pow
erty by means that astonish the Wis
itor from America and she oftener
succumbs to an immoral life as the
easier and more remunerative avoid
ance of it. The morality of our home
life is another element in the health
and growth that produces big, well
appearing citizens of both sexes. and
if it is true that the American is tax
ing life less seriously than he used to
and is trying to get more sane enjoy
ment out of it and spending less time
in work and fret, the business man
stands chance Of taking on sub
stance and being as tall as his daugb-
ter,-Brooklyn Eagle.

A GAG on THE PROFESSORS.

The professors of the Chicago University
have been given to understand that the
good of the university requires that they
shall be very guarded in expressing their
views on controverted public questions.
Naturally, they feel irritated at this at
tempt 10 restrain their public utterances.
Some of them are quoted as saying that
the university cannot hold such men as
it now has among its faculty if it under
takes to control their utterances on ques-
tons in which they, in common with their
fellow citizens are interested.
The impression seems to be that Mr..
Rockefeller, who has given the university
about 100000 and will probably give
ii more millions provided it does nothing
to offend him, is back of the effort to gag
the professors, 1t is remembered that
Prof. Bemis, who was outspoken against
trusts, had to resign about two years
ago, his resignation being attributed to
Mr.. Rockefeller.
1t is by no means certain however,
that Mr. Rockefeller has anything 10 do
with the matter. 1t is true he is at the
head of a great trust. and has been very
liberal in making gifts to the university.
but, as far as the public knows. he has
not attempted to interfere with the man
agement of the university. It is not at
all improbable that the management has
found that there are some professors in
the faculty who have more book learning
than common sense-a not uncommon
thing-and that for the good of the uni
versity it has been thought advisable to
admonish them to do more thinking and
less talking.
The Chicago University was established
with the idea that it should be an in
stitution permitting the greatest freedom
Of thought. 1t is doubtful however, if 1t
was expected that the professors would
take such an active part in discussing
questions on which political parties were
divided as to arouse political feeling
against the university. If it is the aim of
the management to keep political feeling
from running too high in the university.
it is probable that the effort to put
little restraint on members of the faculty
will be very generally commended by the
friends of the institution, but If it is
fact that millionaire donors are seeking
to make the professors talk in support Of
their interests, or to prevent them from
expressing opinions inimical to their in
terests then the university has gloomy
future, and the professors have a right
to feel irritated.

Testing a Clerks Honesty.

Il wouldn't be here" said the crook who
was bound over the road, IF temptation
hadn't been placed in my way"
i've heard that before" gruffy returned
the officer who had the crook in charge, &C
cording to the Detroit Free Press.
Il come from a good family continued
the crook without noticing the Interrupt
ton.
That's what they ali say" growled the
officer, as he examined the handouts 70
see If they were secure.
Il started out in life with good pros
poets, sighed the crook.
They all do" grunted the officer.
MY fathers influence enabled me to Sc
cure a good position with a responsible and
prominent financial firm" continued the
crook, paying no attention to the sheer IN
the officers voice. Il had been given
good education and it was only question
of time when l would nse TO a more re-
sponsibie position than I held at the start.
One day the head of the firm called me in
to his private office, and, after making sure
that we were alone he said that he mad a
delicate and responsible mission for me to
perform. He was kind enough TO say that
he had his eye on me from the time l en-
tered the office, and that he believed me
to he honest and trustworthy, and that the
mission that he was about to ask me to
undertake called for just such a man. L
felt fiattered, and told him so. He went
on to say that it was imperative that an
immense sum of money, in fact, 100000
should be in the hands of his Chicago
agents before twenty-four hours had pass
ed and he had picked me out TO perform
the delicate mission.
Il accepted the trust and took the first
train leaving, with the package of money
safely within my inside coat pocket. Now,
put yourself in my place. l was young
and had in my possession what to me was
an immense fortune. Well, I yielded to
temptation, as many a man has done be-
fore me, and instead of delivering the pack
age of money TO the agent in Chicago 1
kept on and didn't stop until I reached
the Pacific coast. I didn't open the pack
age until I was on board a steamer bound
for China, and then, in the privacy of my
stateroom, l broke the seals and found
nothing but lot of old paper, with note
from the firm notifying me that needn' {
bother to retun. Well, 1 discovered later
that that miserable old reprobate made a
habitsof testing the honesty of his clerks
them the idea that they were the bearers
of immense sums of money. II they deliver
ed the package they never knew the diff
ference, and the old fool knew that they
could be trusted. If they yielded to temp
tation, as l did, they never came back.
Now, ! appeal to you, sir, if that sort of
treatment wasn't enough to make man
a crook for life?"
1--WE get out here" was all the officer
said,

OUR sTnUCCLING C0IIEcEs

We have universities and colleges in the
South, plenty OF them, but they are all
poor in comparison with the great univer-
sites in the North. These Northern uni
versities are receiving rich gifts ali the
time and the number and value of these
gifts appear to increase from year to year.
We do not, of course. refer to such vast
gifts as the Stanford University of cali
fornia has received or to the exceptional
good fortune of the Chicago University.
but TO the steady stream of gifts which
flow into the treasures of Harvard, Yale
Princeton and some of the other uuversi-
ties. In his annual address this year
President Eliot of Harvard said that that
institution had received during the year
s., $4,000 In cash, and had been promised
a great many thousands more.
\ university that is being treated so
literally cannot help prospecting. 1t can
get the best of professors and as many
of them as it wants, the latest appliances
for scientific study and can enrich its
library with the latest and most costly
publications. 1t can do all of these things
and many Others without having to ask
favors from anybody.
Here in the South about all of the col
leges and universities are cramped for
means. There are comparatively few rich
men, and only now and then one of them
thinks OF helping the cause of education
when he makes his Will. 1t may be the
time win come when fhe institutions of
learning in the South win be stronger
financially than they are now. It is re-
grettabe that the rich men of the North.
who seem to be anxious TO do something
for the cause of education, don't remember
the Southern colleges and universities in
stead of contributing to the already great
wealth OF the Northern educational insu-
tutions.

NO coLonED SOLDIERS WANTED.

1t is announced in the Washington dis
patches that the government does moi in
tend to accept any negro volunteers for
service in the Philippines. The volunteer
regiments which are to be called for will
be composed entirely Of white men. The
reason given for not enlisting negroes is
that they are uuruly.
Ii is a fact that there was a great deal
of trouble with the negro volunteers dur
ing the war with Spain. There was trou-
Bile with them at Tampa, at Macon, in
fact, wherever they were encamped. The
negro regulars are said 20 make very good
soldiers and to fight wei, but it Is prob
able that even in the regular army there
is more trouble with them than the pub
lie is aware of. In our dispatches yes
terday, and the previous day, there were
accounts of an outrage committed at
Winnemucca, New, by negro regulars. a
train carrying two companies Of negro
troops 10 San Francisco stopped at that
place. and the negro soldiers wrecked
saloon situated near the depot and shot
to death the barkeeper The outrage
greatly provoked the citizens of the place,
and if GOODNESS and judgment had not been
exercised it is probable that there would
have been serious trouble in which many
lives would have been lost
The two reasons urged for sending negro
soldiers 10 the Philippines were that they
could stand the climate and that the Fill
pino soldiers were very much afraid of
them 1t is doubtful if the negroes from
this country stand the climate of the Phil
ippines any better than white men, and
there is ground for doubling the story
that the Filipino soldiers are afraid OF
negro soldiers
But even if there is any force in the
foregoing reasons it is apparent that they
have not influenced the President in the
least. The experience of the government
with negro soldiers in the war with Spain
was sufficient to cause it to decide not to
send any negroes 10 the Philippines.
