up the continent to the expansion Of Amer
lean democracy and free institutions.
What a notable influence has this ac-
QUESTION had upon the succeeding events
in our history. 1t made the acquisition of
Florida a necessity. 1t brought about the
annexation of Texas, the Mexican war, the
thirst for more slave territory to preserve
the balance of power. the civil war and
the abolition of slavery. 1t led to our pa
cific coast possessions, tie construction of
the transcontinental lines of railway and
our marvellous Rocky mountain develop
ment, the demand for the Isthmus canal,
the purchase of Alaska, the annexation of
Hawaii. 1t opened up to the great

say that he regards President Clevelands
action in that affair as a consistent, judici-
Gus and necessary application of the true
intent and spirit of that doctrine"
The book does not trend upon affairs af
fected by the pending administration. 1t
therefore has no bearing upon the Chinese
troubles, nor upon the departure of Spain
from this hemisphere. Only incidentally
does 1t treat of The Hague conference. to
the extent that the Monroe doctrine was
there reaffirmed by the American repre-
sentatives. Enough of the diplomatic his
tory of the republic is given TO show the
power of the nation in the world. the high
character of the men who have guided our
foreign relations, the strength of the in
situations which have been fortified by the
consistent dealings of this government with
the other nations.

John w. Foster to write such a work. He
possesses the students spirit to enable him
to search and collate materials. He has the
patriotism to enable him to pursue a con-

despite the cruditieS which it displayed at
first. He has the discrimination to enable
him to adjudge between men of the past

has the literary skill to give his conclu-

Reading for Children.
From the Sewanee Review.

To many of our children the pleasures
tempt to force books upon them at an age
unfit for their reading. Why should the
young be compelled to associate books
which would be source of pleasure with
the memory of hours spent in weary study?
no unfit books are, and let him read at
his choice. A child should not be dis
couraged from reading anything that he
takes liking to, from a notion that it is
above his reach If that be the case the
child will soon find it out and desist; if
not, he of course gains the instruction.
which is much the more likely to come
from the inclination with which he takes up
the study. Happy the child who has the
of a good library, and who for a GER
tain part of every day is allowed to read
at random; who is turned loose in the
rich pasture of literature to browse where
he pleases.
1t would be wise practice in every
school, with as much regularity as the
morning prayer, to read aloud some fine
or instructive passage from a book which
is accessible to those who wish to read
more. 1t is not needful that every word
of what is read aloud should be under
stood by the hearers. If that We're the
case, the Epistles of st. Paul would be a
sealed book to all but scholars. Children
derive impulses of a powerful kind in hear
ing things which they cannot entirely COM
prehend; something they can always grasp,
and what they cannot understand they
either supply by some strange meaning of
their own or let it pass by unheeded. 1t
is said a mother read to her children, who
were under twelve, the whole of Sponsors
'Faerie Queene They had conception
of the a1legory, but they took the shield
of the red-cross knight in their play and
lived over again in their imagination the
life they had learned about.

Asks His Intentions.
A few Americans have married Porto
Ricans and the percentage will largely in
crease when their knowledge of the Ian
guage gets beyond the sign limit
When an American calls upon a family
in which are marriageable daughters the
father loses no time in finding out if his
intentions are matrimOnially inclined.
The greatest social event since Ameri-
can occupation is the marriage of Gov
ernor Aliens daughter to Lieutenant Logan
of the navy, which takes place at the pal
ace in the near future. This will be the
elimination of a romance begun at WASH
