CHAPTER III.
Written for The PRISON Mirror.
Continued from last week.

"You mean,' l said, "that if Napo-
leon had devoted his energy to the
building up of society and the further
ing of humanity's happiness that Eu-
rope, and the rest of the world in
general, would be enjoying the bene-
fits of social system, which their
progeny will enjoy two centuries from
now?"
"That is my meaning exactly" he
said. Cali wars are destructive; no
nation is actually benefited by war; the
damage is incalculable, no matter what
the present profit may be, in the end
the reaction will far overbalance the
gains. Militarism is supported at the
expense of the people, and for every
fresh company added to the army it
means so many producers taken away
from the general mass, and So many
consumers added to power, which we
can see today is crushing the very ex-
istence out of the European nations,
besides being constant menace to the
peace and prosperity of the world
"If other nations increase their arma-
ments, does not nation bordering on
those other nations require an increase
of fighting power to protect itself
against the other nations?" l sug-
gested.
''In the present state of affairs it
does," he said. 81 will tell you the
conclusion have arrived at: there will
be no international arbitration until
there is universal democracy. De-
mocracy must precede arbitration.
Peace conferences will avail nothing
as long as all power is vested in the
hands of one ruler. With democracy
will come discrimination of education
With this will come universal enlight-
enment, and men will learn to rule by
reason, not force. Then will come
International arbitration, and war will
be thing of the past"
"Surely," | exclaimed, "you would
not consider all war as all evil. Now
let us take the Civil War in America
in 1S61-65 Surely the Union side was
justified in preserving the country in
tact, and liberating the slaves"
"The Union cause was perfectly
justiiable," answered the old man,
"nay, more, it was noble, sublime, a
War to free humanity anu to preserve
the country it is not the cause am
against: it is war as war What is
more foolish than for two nations to
go mad with rage and fly at each
others thrOats, squandering and de-
stroying millions of dollars worth of
property and valuable lives, when it
might be settled peacefully by arbitra-
ton, and all this wealth turned to ben
eft the country.
General Grant was an example of
the best type of intelligent men.
Grant abhorred war and bloodshed;
but when it was absolutely necessary
he went at it in manner that meant
success. When he said, Il will fight it
out on this line if it takes all SUMMER
he showed his true nature, his stern
justice and unfiagging energy would
not allow him to back down when his
cause was right, not even if it took the
last man and the last dollar. Grant
was an example of what concentration
Of energy will do. When he under
took the siege of Vicksburg it was with
the intention of pounding it into SUBJ

James Payn says, in "The Back
water of Life" that as soon as he
became deaf, his friends tried to heart
en- him by collecting anecdotes of those
who have made humorous mistakes
through suffering like infrmity. The
efficacy of that method may be doubt
ed, but such as it is, many have had to
endure it.
One story is indeed to be tolerated,
because it refers TO gentleman who,
although deaf, was not so much so as
he pretended to be. A friend came to
him one day, anf shouted:
"Wil you LEND me half sovereign ?"
"What?"
"Will you lend me half a.sovereign P"
was the still louder petition.
"What was that"
"Will you lend me sovereign ?"
"You said half a sovereign beforev

Preventive Philanthropy.

"Preventive philanthropy rather than
ameliorative charity" was the theme of
an address delivered Sunday morning
in All Souls church by Mrs. Frederick
Nathan of New York.
sit is far nobler," said Mrs. Nathan.
''to study the best methods to prevent
vice, crime, distress, disease and power
ty than to foster or permit conditions
which lead to these evils and then
squander a. fortune to help straighten
out just a little of the crookedness.
Such charity reminds one of the So
called charitable manufacturer who
reduced the wages of his employees
because he needed the money to make
his annual gift for beneficent purposes.
Sometimes think that instead of be-
ing so prond ofsour charitable institu-
tions we ought to hang our heads in
shame of the need of them."
Mrs. Nathan not only in her words
but also in her work represents at it's
best the spirit of the so-called new
philanthropy, which she designates as
preventive philanthropy" in contra
distinction to the old-style charity
which is quick to dispense relief but
which concerns itself little with the
causes producing distress. Efforts to
make labor under unsanitary condi-
tlons unnecessary are of far more
value than ameliorative charity after
lives have already been ruined. The
most effective workers for humanity
in the field of philanthropy are those
who are striving to abolish sweatshops,
to do away with the employment of
little children and to wipe out condi-
tions that produce disease. According
to figures just made public by the
health department, the opening of the
Chicago sanitary canal has already
caused a marked decrease in the num-
ber Of deaths due to typhoid fever.
ManifestIy in this instance the way to
confer the greatest benefit OH the peo-
pie of Chicago was not to build more
hospitals for the care of typhoid-fever
patients, but to remove the cause of
typhoid fever 10y purifying the city's
water supply. The same principle that
led to the construction of the sanitary
canal as a means of benefiting health
Mrs. Nathan wishes to see applied to
other situations, some of them much
more complicattd,. that give rise to
human distress.
The idea is eminently sensible. Pre-
ventive philanthropy is the best and

pressed their appreciation to Vice

a youth named VIM. o. White. an in
mate of the orphan asylum.
Young White had arrived at the age
when he would have 10 be discharged
from the asylum, and as he had not
a known living relative In the world
the superintendent was very much in
terested In him. He is said to have
been an exemplary youth, he having
been at the asylum since he was quite
small, and during that time never gave
the superintendent any trouble or an
lmpudent word. He was n close stu
dent and will no. doubt make a bright
man. 1t is safe to predict that he
VIII apply himself in his new position
with that energy that he did while at
the asylum. and will some day make
a mark for himself
Mr. st. John and Mr.. Reed have done
good deed in helping a worthy boy.
and they may have cause some day to
