A Boston man recently paid visit
to a small town in Vermont and was
surprised and shocked at the amount
of profanity he heard in the streets of
that village He declared that all the
men and boys swore incessantly in
their conversation; that with them
profanity had become instructive,
commonplace and even necessary. IL
had through long use lost all its force
and emphasis, had become an lnsep-
arabic part of the everyday and sim
pie speech.
His remarks seem to bear out the
recent statements of prominent New
York lawyer who claims that the in
habitants of the smaller villages of the
country do more swearing in one week
than a person would hear in large
city in a month. His views on the de-
crease of profanity in our large cities
are interesting. He says:

Spending Is Some times Saving.

The true end of craftsmanship is
to promote the greatest public well
fare, whether this means saving dollars
or spending dollars. When economy
will contribute to this welfare econo-
my is good, but where it will cripple
some important branch of public SER
vice then economy is bad; and the
public official who tries to make a
record in defiance, of this fact is no
real friend to public welfare. Where
sinecures exist, or useless political
"job" commissions, or where waste
occurs by poor organization of the SER
vice, then economy and reorganization
are in order; but where important
work would be less effectively done by
arbitrarily abolishing offices and re-
ducing the number of employees, then
the path of craftsmanship is to point
out the grounds for distinguishing be-
tween the two cases and shape poll
cies accordingly.-Gun Magazine.

cepted ideals there is monogaDous
family, and in it, as it was from the
beginning, the husband is the provid-
er and the wife the housekeeper. As
provider the husband must be hunt
er, for wild animals are the only
source of food, and clothing and fuel,
and division of labor with an accom-
panying medium Of exchange have
not yet been dreamed Of, much less
a system of property rights which
yields lien upon the labor Of fellow
hunters. Each with his varying skill
and each with his own handmade i'm
plements, whose designs have come
down to him through countless gen.
erations of hunting ancestors, goes
forth to the hazard of the hunt. What
he secures is his and game is easily
traced to its rightful owner by means
of the mark of ownership on the har-
poon Or lance or arrow which has
caused death. But there come times
when each mans catch is not all his
own-times of scarcity, when the sue
cessful hunter shares his game equally
with all the needful families of the
station, even If his own is in bitter
want of all he has. OF the helpless
there are few besides young children.
Sickness is almost unknown, and yet
life among them is generally short,
though merry one. Through the in
finite chances of the chase few hunters
live to old age, and we were struck
by the fewness of old women in the
tribe. The enduring Of almost un-
broken cold is a constant drain upon
vitality, and before old age has well
set in life goes out from sheer ex-
haustion. OF cripples We saw only
one, and in spite of the breeding in
and in but one case came to our no.
tice of downright -mindedness.
But how, we asked at once, If land
and dwellings and even food are held
in common, how does the tribe pro-
tect itself from supporting in idleness
its lazy members? There is a conf
cal incongruity in applying so modern
term as public opinion" to the
case of a race of men who have no
written characters, and numerals only
to five, who have no laws nor courts
nor police nor newspapers and whose
tribal regulations flow chiefly through
channels of physical fact. But if it
be not public opinion it is perhaps
their nearest approach to it in the OBJ
legation that each man is under not
merely to be a hunter, but to be the
best hunter that he can. Apart from
physical disability he must be hunt

sHREWp ROYAL INVESTORS.
Some European Crown Heads Who Hold
American Securities.

Some European Crown Heads Who Hold
American Securities.
Emperor William owned at one time
$1,000, 900 of American securities.
About two years ago his holdings were
transferred to the name of the Berlin
banker. so it is impossible to tell ac-
curately the amount OF his holdlngs
at the present moment. 1t is estlmat-
ed. however, that they aggregate $3,-
900 900 and his yearly income from
them is $15O,O00. So far as the records
here show the emperor never speculat-
ed in Americans nor invested in in
dustrial securities. His holdings
have always been railway bonds
or stocks and his favorite issues
are Louisville & Nashville, Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe, Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific and
illinois Central. The empress Of Ger
many Is the individual owner or
about $5OO,0OO of American securities
These are in her own name, but the
dividend payments are, by her order,
made to a firm of Berlin bankers.
Other members of the German royal
household are owners of American Sc
curities, but the certificates are mostly
lin the names of their individual bank
srs, says the Minneapolis Journal. The
securities SO held amount to about
S4,O00,O 900. The czar of Russia holds
$6,OOO,O0O in American bonds and
stocks, principally the former These
include issues of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, New York Central railroad,
Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacific,
Southern Pacific, New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford and New Jersey Cen
trail railroad. His holdings are regis
tered In the name of st. Petersburg
firm, to whom all communications re-
garding them are sent. The royal IN
come is increased $500,000 annually by
these securities, which, at the ruling
market prices show an appreciation OF
nearly $1,000, 900 over the average price
at which they were bought. Empress
Eugenie had at one time invested here
10000, ,00O. The royal family Of Spain
holds today our securities for about
$4,000, ,000-a greater sum than 1t has

Cities.

To my mind the elimination of pro-
family from the daily conversation is
matter of culture rather than of re-
ligion. Men cease to swear from gen.
tlemanly instincts, just as they avoid
other forms of vulgarity. I attend
club regularly where several hundred
men lunch each day-men of all lines
OF trade and of the professions, men
VINO smoke and drink their wines and
liquors within reasonable bounds. But
they don't swear. You will not hear
one oath a day, and when you do it is
past of some story that is told and
is dropped in for picturesque empha-
sis. The same holds good of the men
meet in other walks of life. You
don't hear much of it from the team
sters and other workmen in the
streets. 1 have heard moro oaths from
one country yokel in one summer than
from all the men l have met in New
York for the past 10 years."

ALL THINGS COMMON.

4 Far-North Tribe Organized as One

vide with All in Times OF Need-Sick-
ness Is Almost Unknown.

Etah is but the most northern of
some dozen stations occupied by the
Smith Sound Eskimos. One hesitates
at the word settlement" because it
conveys an idea of permanency, both
as to location, and also, in a measure,
as to the personnel of the body of the
settlers, and this is only half true of
the settlements of the tribe of less
than $50 individuals who live at scat
tered points along the coast from Cape
York to Foulke Fjord The points of
settlement are permanent, apparently,
having been chosen, doubtless,
through process of selection with
reference to shelter and food supply,
continued through many generations,
but the families that inhabit them
vary each year in accordance with
curious reshuffling which takes
place, quite spontaneously, it appears,
at Peterawik glacier, where there is
tribal gathering every spring. One
rarely finds more than half a dozen
families at any place, and each of
them may have spent the previous
year at a different station from all
the others. 1t is easy to conceive of
a certain solidarity of tribal organiza-
tion which results from such a system,
and which it would be difficult to
improve upon under conditions of pre-
carious food supply that makes
necessary the widely scattered living
of the families of the tribe. Not only
are their ties of all degrees of blood
relationship which bind each member
to the others, but each is personally
known to all through the intimacy of
closely interdependent existence,
which is the only manner of life pos
sible to men encompassed by an arctic
world and the serious business of
whose lives is to hunt for uncertain
supplies yielded by wild and some
times fierce animals. There Is no tri-
bal organization, no chief, nor any
elders in authority; indeed, no pre-
meditated, structural system of any
kind, but quite simple order which
issues naturally from the facts of
equality and of equal sharing in all
the essentials of livelihood. With
