with peculiar conditions in the sun, one
 of which Is protracted high tempera-
 ture, as indicated by speetroscopic and other observations. This began in 1894 95 and has continued steadily up to the present time. There are as yet no indications shown by observations of an early termination of these abnormal conditions High temperature was for some time normal in it's occurrence at and for some time after the maximum sun periodcity in 1893. This condition should, according to the normal course, have terminated in 1896, and before the minimum of the period. The latter has, however, not yet occurred. The solar conditions are. he says, as they have been since 1896, very abnormal, and the apparent inference from his remarks is that more drought and consequently fresh famines are within the limits of possibility, not to say probability.

CHEERING.

That is cheering news from the Phil- ippine islands which we print this morning. It appears that conditions are rapidly improving there, and that since election the peace party has been growing. It is especially cheering to read that the liquor traffic is more rig idly and effectively regulated and kept within bounds in Manila than in any city of similar or greater size in the United States.
 At the present rate of progress it may not take hundred years to benevo- lently assimilate the islands. But 1t will be wise to wait awhile before be- coming very enthusiastic over the situ- ation. The F'ilipinos have had trou- blesome habit of being warlike when they ought to have been peaceable.

THE WAYS OF WOMEN.
Mans Folly in Trying to Mold Her
 Character.

Mans Folly in Trying to Mold Her Character.
 The idea of marrying woman and
 forming her character to suit himself | is one that has always been of fatal
 fascination to man. In spite of volumi-
 nous evidence to the contrary, he still persists in believing woman to be a cross between porous plaster and a lump of putty--a creature whose ad- hesive qualities are such she will stick
 to him like the skin, through any kind of treatment, yet who is so plastic he
 can mold her into any form he pleases
 Theoretically, the character molding business is not only alluring, but dead
 York Journal. You have only to catch a girl when she is very young and ig- norant and inexperienced and unsophis- ticated. All the rest follows naturally. You impress your ideals of conduct and of life upon her. You form her lit- erary and sacial tastes. You teach her your religious and political beliefs, and presto! the thing is done. There she is, made over to order, according to your own measurements, and guaran- teed to fit A soft, innocent young girl in the blank page over which we have all sentimentaized, and it does look as if it ought to be no trick at all to write your name all over it in big capitals. Neither has any man contem- plating it ever doubted his ability to do it.
 Practically the experiment of mold ing a wife's character has strewn the shores of time with the wrecks of hap piness. Woman's pliabilty is all on the outside. Underneath it is something as inf1exible as granite, and as hard as steel and the less sense she has the more immovably is she set in her ways and the less chance is there oc chang ing her You may convince a clever woman, and induce her to change her point of view, but a fool sees the same thing from the cradle to the grave.
 Many time we have witnessed a hopeful young man marrying stupid and dough-like girl, with pretty face, whom he proposed to make over into his ideal of womanhood At first he struggles galIantly, but by and by the truth begins to dawn on him that he is up against a great irrevocable and un- fact, instead of a lovely theory. He began with a fallacy The premises were all wrong. The woman's

WHAT CAN BE DONE.

What can be done in the way of cleaning up in city slums was well il- lustrated in the famous, and once iu- famous, Five Points" region in New York. The History of Street. in Philadelphia gives an account of the reformation of a thoroughfare in that city Once the center of the slums, it has, by years of hard work, been made the seat of a number of useful chari- ties, all aiming to make the residents self-supporting and self-respecting The old rookeries have been bought by men who have combined business with philanthropy, and who have replaced the miserable novels with decent homes. The district has it's public park well-patronized savings bank. a day nursery, a kindergarten, an industrial school, library, free lectures, a CO., operative coal club and a lunch-room It is still poor district but it is no longer the haunt of vice and disorder.

The foundation of this good work was laid as far back as 1857 by George H.. Stuart, who opened mission Sunday school for colored children, It was car ried forward by John M. Whitall and Theodore Starr, and is now proceeding systematically under the direction of the Octavia Hill Association, in which many of MT. Starr's friends are stock holders.
 While this good work has been going on in the slums bad work has been go- ing on in more respectable places. But it is cheering that there is some good work.

character was already molded, and you can never marry a girl young enough to alter her opinions, unless you marry her great-great grandmother You can't even change dough after it has been run in the family mold, and hard baked for generations.
 Men have changed the face of nature, but not women's character. One has no right. anyway, to marry girl who is one thing, and expect to convert her into something else. The only safe way is to marry a ready-made character that suits you. Then you know what you are getting.

HE REALLY .MEANSI1.

That strange man, Register James R.
 the fees of his office for himself because
 he thinks them excessive, has surprised the people of Brooklyn by the announce ment that he will build for Brooklyn a statue of George Washington on Bed ford avenue near the fountain. The statue will be patterned after the one now standing in Washington Circle, at the west end of Pennsylvania avenue, in Washington, District of Columbia. This statue is the work of the famous sculptor, Clark Mills, and was erected by act of congress in 1853. Washington is represented as he appeared at the battle of Princeton January 8, TIT, when he checked the retreat of Mercer's wavering forces of militia and turned defeat into victory The portrait Is from Houdon's bust made from life The. horse was modelled from one cap tured from wild herd on the prairie, near Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
 It is Register Howe's idea that an imposing statue of Washington twill be an inspiration to our school children as they pass the square and also to those who come to our land from foreign shores, seeking the freedom and the op- which this grand and glori- ing humanity" So it will. It will also be an enduring monument to man ey he could.

INCESTORS.

That is a good point which the Boston Herald makes when it says that Quee m Victoria may be regarded as forth nate example that heredity is not al- ways sure to perpetuate ancestral
 traits It did not need the pungent and eaustic lectures of Thackeray in this country to inform the American
 public of the kind of kings from Whom she was descended The first two Georges can hardly be considered mon-
 archs of fragrant memory and her
 grandfather was the man who, by his
 pig-headed course toward our country
 in its colonial state, brought on the American revolution. Her uncle, George IV.. was an embodiment of what was worst in his house. Her other uncle, William IV., who intervened between her and his predecessor. was better in his morals than in his manners, and was an inoffensive ruler, rather than one to win more important distinction From this unpromising stem comes Vic- toria of whose father the best that can be said Is that nothing very seriously to his discredit is recorded. Victoria thus blossomed out of an unpromising line of ancestors.
 It is entirely true that bad ancestors do not always have bad descendants. If they did some of us in New Haven wouldn't point as proudly to our fami- Iy trees as we do.

The prosecuting attorney of Chicago told meeting of anti-yice crusaders the other day that that city was un- doubtedly the wickedest in the world. And to prove it-and also to prove that the fact was not due to negligence in the prosecutors office-he said that 2,811 men were convicted of crime in Chicago the past year, while the con- victions during the same time in the much larger city of London numbered 2,659.
