his interference.
| OF course, there are two ways In which
this story can be taken. Such interference
in some cases would have been most
unwarrantahle invasion Of personal liberty,
but 1t looked as II in this instance 1t was
really a wise thing. The important point
in the story is that the clerk was pecuni-
arily quite able to keep his father out Of
the poorhouse. and wished to do SO. It
is easy to say that he should have over
ruled his wife and had his own way in Q
matter % important, but there are some
women whom 1t is not SO practicable to
overrufe. It fs not difficult to conceive Of q
wife who might have made home unbear-
able for the whole family had her hug
band insisted on crossing her will. and
perhaps the spouse of this unhappy man
was Of that type.
But the point at which this particular
case touches the Life of the country is this:
There seems nowadays to be general,
though slight, impulse to shirk responsi-
bility snd seek individual ends. The de-
termination Of each individual to have his
or her own way sometimes results In
downright selfishness Of the most out
rageous kind There are many good things
about the tendency to individualism; the
cramped and stunted lives are fewer than
they used to be, perhaps. and important
interests are not sacrificed to mere con-
ventions as they once were. A girl is no
longer required to stay at home and en-
broider. and play the piano. and wither
into an aimless, useless ''old maid IL she
happens not to marry; she may make the
most of whatever decided talent she pos
sesses and marry when she meets man
suited to her. Children are no longer ex-
pected to follow the calling of their par
ents' choice, If they have a decided vo-
cation in another direction. And so long
as individualism is innocent, natural, and
reasonable it cannot be INDUCED too far.
But when the assertion OF individuality
comes merely from selfish Incidence or
pride-when the young girl insists that
her parents buy for her fine gowns which
they cannot afford, and the young man
declines to spend money on anyone but
himself-when the wife refuses to give
her attention to making the most Of her
husbands income for their mutual bene-
fit. and demands luxuries which are be-
yond his means-when responsibilities
plainly marked out for both husband and
wife are deliberately shirked through van
ity or parsimony-then individualism is
warped into something much uglier, and it
ought TO be suppressed. This is a free
country and every man, woman. and child
in 1t has a right TO develop his or her
character as finely and symmetrically as
possible. but that does not mean that
self-sacrifce is altogether done away with
As matter of fact. when there is one
person in family who is determined to
have the best training, the best oppor-
tunites, the best of everything, it generally
means that somebody else must go without
any opportunities at all.

II is positively asserted the American

Farmers who sell all their tobacco through
the Danville warehouses. and who are con-
stitutionally. politically. and otherwise Bit
terly opposed TO trusts. are up in arms
against this unexpected move. as are also
most of the tobacconists of Danviile, and
already there is an effor; on to start OPP

bassy at London. am many princes and
princesses were at AldeFshot yesterday to
witness a review Of over n, 900 Of the best
troops in the Kingdom.
This review was interpreted in London
yesterday as a means Of satisfying Queen
Victouia that her troops are ready for any
emergency they may be called upon to
meet, in the Transyaal or elsewhere. 1t ID
known now that the Queen returned from
Baimoral Castle. Scotland. mostly for the

Not since the Queens Jubilee has a
more magnificent army corps passed be-
fore European sovereign. and while 5000
additional troops remained in their bar
racks, the display afforded to the Queen
ample evidence Of her military resources.
All the regiments which took part in the
review were those which would answer the
first hurry call to arms for the Transvaal

ions swung past the royal carriages. their
fitness evoked the heartiest applause.
Nearly $1,000 infantry, fifty guns and
$500 horse were in the review.

was made upon them as the Dragons.

which Emperor William is the honorary
colonel, the Fusileers, the Camerons, the
Scottish Rifles, and other heroes of the
Zulu campaigns swung past. The enthI-

Queen smiled appreciation as each COM

From the Manufacturing Jewellery
F. B. Manning, of Manning, Bowman Co., Of
Merden, Conn, has just perfected a process
whereby teapots and similar vessels may be
plated outside and enameled inside, thing that
has hitherto been impossible. patent has been

will revolutionize the trade, and great things are
anticipated.
Manufacturers Of plated ware. agate ware and
the like, have never found a means for plating
enamel. because the adhesive power was lack
ing. The model shown by Mr.. Manning to the
reporter consisted Of very thin steel pot. This
can be easily enameled and silver or nickle-
plated, and the cost will practically be the same

FIRE HORSES RUN AWAY.
The Engine Wrecked and Driver Fa
tally Injured.


New York, June 2I.-Two green fire de-
partment horses this morning ran away
with a fire engine at Astor Place and Third
Avenue, and by the time they were
checked, at Blocker and Mulberry Streets,
they had fatally injured one fireman, Sc
riously hurt another and had wrecked the
ponderous machine that they had dragged
after them in their flight.
The whistle Of an a. engine frightened
the horses. and Driver Bohme was unable
TO control them. He jumped on the back
of one of the animals when endeavoring TO
secure the reins and would have been sue
cessful if the engine had not collided with
a lamp post. Bohme was thrown to the
pavement and both arms and his skull
were fractured. He will die.
Edwin Post, engineer, was also seriously
hurt when endeavoring to assist Bohme.

eggs. To play the stroke meant destruction to
the nest and its contents, with tender consid.

found his ball lying close to birds nest. which
contained three eggs, and to save that nest and
its contents cost him two.

You'd her aud the valley at her feet, the
moonbeams silhoueted her shadow beyond.
This was a plainlooking piney-woods
girl, with rather a strong, sensitive face,
wistful eyes and resentful, defiant air,
which she carried superb.y, despite the
meanness of her gown and tine plainness of
its makeup. She had come out from a
nearby cabin Her chores for the evening
were finished. She had been thinning"
out cotton all day in a piece Of stumpy,
