A Proper Use of the Streets.

When the chief of police in Jersey
City suggested recently that certain
blocks Of asphalted streets be roped
off at night and given up to dancing
by the populace generally, it was
thought that he had hit upon q
novel and unique method of giving
pleasure to the masses in our cities.
Chief Murphy got the idea from
watching children dance on the
tunes of street pianos, and it oc-
Cured to him that if wagon traffic
could be stopped for several hours
of an evening on certain blocks, not
only the children, but the older
folks would come out and pass a
pleasant evening in dancing and
promenading. He even suggested
that bands could be hired, by sub
scription or ortherwise, and that
the monotony Of city life could be
frightened by an evening carnival
on the street, with lights and music,
and dancing by all who cared to
join. The moral side of the ques-
tiOn appealed to him. He said such
open-air dancing would be less
harmful by far to young people,
conducted in the sight of all who
cared to look on, than dancing in
obscure halls or in gloomy picnic
grounds.-Hdyper's Weekly.

Eminent Domain in Trees.

The Connecticut Yankee has en-
phasized his regard for the old
trees in an admirable law for their
protection. Each town may appoint
a tree warden. As he must serve
without pay, he is sure to be tree
lover. 1t is his privilege to label
permanently as public property any
tree on or contiguous to the high
way which he deems essential to
comfort or beauty. Thereafter the
owner of the land on which the tree
stands cannot cut it down, except
upon the favorable result of II
regular appeal to a special COM
mittee of the town meeting, acting
in due deliberation. The tree be-
longs to the town.. II. Bailey,

do this.
In the northeastern and north

more money. L believe that a

everything else. We see it in many
localities.

Till through the break of song is faintly heard
The cry of toling millions at the chain
Go crying IN the voices of my Tyre:
80 souls of Earth, We must be born again
Born from the beggary of self desire
Reborn to kngs-reborn to Social Mem
Leave the dead altars where the blind souls

And whispers with the feet of chcruhim
All kingdoms rise and crumble to one end
The dust of Babylon, the stones of Tyre:
Only my kingdom waiting to descend

All kingdoms fail until my kingdom come;
Feet stumble till they stand upon my peak
Tongues stammer and the lyric lips are dumb,
Until the poets of my passion speak.

A PARCELS POST EXPERIMENT.

A few days ago was signed at
Washington parcels post convcn
ton between the United States and
Germany-the first foreign conn
try with which we have such an
arrangement, and even without our
having a parcels post system with
in cur own boundaries. Ii is n great
credit to Germany that she is first
III the field. Great Britain aud
France, it is understood. are eager
to follow suit and negotiate similar
conventions.
The convention will go into cf-
feet October | of this year. No
package may weigh more than
eleven English pounds; its length
may not exceed three feet and II
half nor its circumference six feet,
and it must be 50 bound that its
contents may be easily examined.
No correspondence or written mat
ter will be allowed inside. The
postage in the United States is fixed
at twelve cents pound
This i'll itself is an important
economic advance. Broadening in
tercourse between the two countries
is an nndoubted benefit, which
blesses him that gives and him
that takes. But this is the least of
the advantages that may be expect
ed to flow from this agreement.
The greater benefit is that it neces-
sarily will give a mighty impetus
to the establishment of a domestic
parcels post, which John Wanna
maker, as Postmaster-Genera in
his report of 1891 so strongly
urged upon Congress and the i'm
petus will increase in force when a
similar arrangement shall be enter
ed into between us and Great Britain
and France.
If broadening intercourse with
foreign countries be an unqualified |
blessing, what shall we call the
together of the various
sections of our own so widely dis
persed populations That parcels
post system will accomplish, and
do it with a power secured only to
that of a national telegraph. 1t will
strongly tend to make our popula-
lion one people.
And is this agreement with Ger
many not an eloquent commentary

)anies' We are denied it's bless

The country school problem is
the most important problem Of our
civilization to-day.
1. 1t is the problem of our agri-
cultural emancipation, of our in
dustrial prosperity. If the truth
be told, we are in bad way agri-
culturally. The country is being
deserted, plantations are being
eaten up by mortgages, dwellings
and barns built before the war
are going to decay, and, if destroyed
tomorrow, could not be replaced.
We are living on the accumulations
of the past, and fast using up the
little capital of our possessions.
This is true of many neighborhoods.
| am thankful it is not true of all.
But men now farm without hope.
The way out must be through more
intelligent methods, better educa-
ton.
g. The country school problem
is the problem of good government.
The term "ward politician" and
"city boss" have acquired mean
ing that tells of some of the evils
of government in cities. Although
crossroads politician" is also a
term Of disrespect, it has no sug
gestion of vicious purpose or of
venality. The crossroads politician
is charged with narrowness, mis-
taken zeal. He is a patriot, and
all he needs is education. There
is among the people in the country
an independence and individuality
that are safeguard to the state.
1t will be bad day for us when
we no longer have this sturdy con-
stituency to appeal to. We must,
therefore, by education, solve the
problem of how to make living
in the country, and we must pro-
vide adequately for the education
of children reared in the country.
3. The country school problem is
the problem of diversified life, of
all-round interest. Thus far, near
ly all of our city people have had
relatives or friends in the country
whom they at times visited. Hence
all our people have some experience
of country life-there are none but
have been brought under the influ-
ence of this contact with nature.
This can no longer be so if the exo-
dus from the country continues, if
we continue to have poor country
schools that fail to fit boys and
girls to live prosperously and hap
PLY in the country-such poor
schools that parents see no hope
for their children there and go to
tOwn-to live from hand to mouth
at uncertain employment-in search
of schools.
4. The country school problem
is, moreover, the problem of our
national vigor. The majority Of
the leading business men Of our
cities were reared on the planta-
tions. So it is in each generation.
The city seems to require back
country to draw upon for reinforce
ments. When these can no longer
be supplied the end is at hand.
5. The country school problem
is, indeed, the problem of the pre-
servation of our Caucasian civili-
zation and purity of blood. If the
country be abandoned to the ne
groes, then that which makes a
people great will be theirs and not
the white mans. The hardihood,
the independence, the courage that
country life develops will be lost to
the Caucasians, who will have
gathered into congested centres,
where strength and vigor of mind
and body are at last sapped. The
country will supply the men who
dominate. Who shall these BET
