TOO HIGH.

Many people in this country are "out of politics" and some of them are so far out that they, do not even vote, One of those who are clear out is the Rev. H. c. Currens, Presbyterian minister of Chicago, and he gives some interesting reasons for his outness. He says: T never vote: such matters do not interest me. Our citizenship is in heaven; we are aliens and foreigners here. I have no more business to take a voice in affairs here than l would have to go to England and attempt to participate in their government. Heav- en is my home"
 This is lofty; yea, toplofty. It would be more sensible if 1t were not a Christians plain duty to do what good he can by his vote. A Christians home may be in Heaven and he may long to be there, but until those whose home is in hell cease from troubling the earth he hasn't any right to get so far up in the air on his way toward Heaven that he can't see the antics of those who are going to hell and can't do his best in every way to nullify their evil influence.

IS FIGHTING GOOD FOR Boyso

Professor G. Stanley Hall, of Clark university, made stir by some remarks before school of psychology in Chca- go to the effect that boxing might be good for certain class of boys. The members of the Board of Education read yellow journals distorted report of the lecture, and Immediately rescind- ed a privilege given the public-school teachers of attending Dr. Halls lectures during school hours, accompanying this action with remarks that the fighting spirit was strong enough now, and did not need encouragement This brought an explanation from Dr. Hall that what he said twas to the effect that a child of morbid irascibllity might be benefited by being given freedom in matters of fighting and wrestling. He might get some of the irascibility taken out of him and in this way be benefited A few punches may teach some young sters lasting lesson. Let them give and take, especially take" As confirm atory of the remark in the Board of Education meeting that the fighting spirit is strong enough, it is told in the Chicago papers that at that meeting two members became involved in a dis pute, questioned each others veracity and then started for the door "to fight it out"
 What Dr. Hall did or didn't say has caused much discussion in other places than Chicago. An interesting contribu- tion is that of Colonel Thomas Went worth Higginson, who says: It is claim ed that the Quaker sect furnished more officers in proportion to its numbers than any other religious body during our civil war, and yet there is no prob ability that those men had fought at school For certain type of boys-not always the worst type-fighting seems part of their growth, but there is no proof that they turn out finer charac ters than another class which detests fighting and would only engage in 1t for the defense of others. This class may also make quite good soldiers.

THOMAS E. REED.

For the last week or two there have | been frequent and persistent reports that the Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine and the rest of the United States would retire from public life and become a member of a law firm in New York city, and it has also been incidentally men toned that he would be guaranteed $50, ,00O year for his services. It is now stated, in way that seems to be re- liable, that he has decided to become a member of a New York law firm. The $50, 900 isn't mentioned this time, but we hope that is not because he isn't going to get it.
 MT. Reed has, it is generally under stood, found public life disappointing, and he isn't rich. He can't get rich in congress, that is, not in the way he wants to make money, and it is not sur prising if he feels that if he is ever going to provide well for his family he must get out of Washington. He has had long term of service there. He was sent to congress from his district in Maine in 1876 and he has been suc- cessively reelected until the present time, period of twenty-three years, He was first elected speaker in 1S89- ten years ago-serving in that capacity through one term. In 1891 he was suc- ceeded by Charles F. Crisp, who served two terms The Republicans having re- gained control of the house, MT. Reed was again elected in 1895, and has oc- cupied the chair of that branch of con- gress ever since. And it has been con- sidered certain that he would again be chosen speaker next December.
 MT. Reed has been a man of great power and influence in congress. If he is going to practice law he will doubt less cut large figure in the courts.

FASHION NOTES.
Youthful Outlines Formed.

That woman with the bulging hips of whom other fashonables were so en- vious little while ago has about dis appeared. She must have been sand papering hersef industriously and de- serted outright all the women whom only a few months ago she induced to buy expensive pinch-waist and fiare-hip stays. Of course she has not disap- peared, but has changed herself, be- cause the stylish figure now curves strictly on the vase or lily plan. The hips round but the least If a woman is not built to wear a gown all one from the edge of yoke down to at least the knees, or almost to the hem, with the rest of the gown finished by yoke to match the underskirt at the other end,

Several Varieties Secured Which May
 Be of Benefit to American Farmers.
 In the last year the Department of Agriculture has had four explorers at work in different parts of the world, having in view the introduction into the United States of seeds and plants which may prove to be of economic value. Secretary Wilson sent Professor Mark A. Carleton, the well known au- thority on cereals, to Russia, with in- structions to obtain such varieties as might in any way add to the value of this country's cereal production. Pro- lessor Carleton has just returned, af- ter spending about eight months in the land of the CZar, and is confident that some, at least, of his selections will prove of great benefit.

fashion is such a failure with women who are not suited to it that there should be statutes to prevent their ex- perimenting with it. It isn't as if there were no stylish rigs of comparatively simple outlines that they may wear. There are many; here is picture of one. It's long overskirt, with the un- broken lines of embroidery gives much of the effect of the other fashion with out being so exacting, and as for it's arrangement above the belt--why, this is an era of boleros. Havana brown cheviot was the material of this suit, the embroidery was black on blue cloth, and the tight bodice was blue cloth richly embroidered in black. Without departing much from this general scheme, the gown could be made much more elaborate if that were preferred. FLORETTE.

Professor Paul Haupt, of Johns Hop- kins university, spoke to the students the other evening about "The Medical and Hygienic Features of the Bible" In the course of his address he said: "Modern sanitary legislation is based On the sanitary rules laid down in the Mosaic law. Observance of the Mosaic a1ygienic regulations might have pre- vented a great deal of illness during the late war with Spain. A great deal has been said about 'embalmed beef and the process of preserving it for seven ty-two hours. This is entirely at vari ance with the Mosaic law. In order to insure the best quality of meat every slaughter of cattle was looked upon as a sacrifice, and any Israelite who killed a domestic animal without presenting it to the priests was looked upon as murderer. The medical knowledge of fbe Hebrew priest was not derived from Egypt, but from Babylonia, and the sanitary regulations, as we find them in the five books of Moses, were not written in 1900 B. C., but about eight hundred years later, by Judaic priests ia Babyionia during the exile,

The Wyandotte isn't the only attrac- tion to oysters. When the collier Bru- tus, of the navy, reached Mare Island navy yard the other day, after a voyage to Manila, her bottom was found cov- cred with mature oysters, and the com mandant of the navy yard has forward ed to the bureau of construction and repairs box containing samples of the shells. The paint upon the plates below the water line was in good condition, and there was no unusual corrosion, but from stem to stern she was covered with these oysters, which became at tached to her while lying in Manila bay. On one occasion, when all the coal in her hold had been removed and a large part of her bottom was exposed above the water, the plates were cleaned by the natives without expense on cond- tion that they be allowed to keep the oysters, which they consider great delicacy.

They do some things well in Germa-
 ny. Take, for instance, the enormous Improvements which have recently been
 made in the roads round about Berlin
 and the benefit conferred in consequence not only on cyclists, but on the rest of the community. On each side of the ordinary road bicycling tracks nine feet wide have been laid, and as the rule is that cyclists should always ride on the fright-hand track and never on the or dinary way accidents are much less ire l1uent than they would be otherwise; to timid riders it is an immense boon not
 to be perpetually meeting and passing vehicles. Tn the neighborhood of Darm- stadt the footpaths are wider and very well made and cyclists are not debarred from using them.

After twenty years the results are so great as to warrant the repeal of the law, which has just taken place.
