Outraqinq Memorial Day.

The veterans and those who appreciate
what they did from 1861 to 1850 are
indignant over the way Memorial day
has come to be regarded by large ele'
ment of the American people. Instead
OF being looked upon as an occasion Tor
paying respect to the departed American
soldier who has served honorably III the
field it is turned into a holiday to be
passed frivolousy and without the slight
est regard for the sacred nature of an
anniversary dedicated to high aims and
lofty patriotism. Each succeeding anni-
versary is more and more Joyous occa'
sion and less and less an object lesson
of gratitude to those who so nobly serv-
ed the nation in the hour OF trial.
When first instituted there was 10
thought of levity in connection with its
observance. The parade moved through
streets to the strains of the funeral
march, the beating of the mulfled drum,
the shrouding of the flag with Grape, the
soldiers with arms reversed. The re-
spectful attention of the multitude cor
responded to the somber professional.
In the cemeteries crowds assembled for
the exercises and to see the floral trib-
utes on the mounds of the heroes who
had answered the final roll call. In the
churches congregations listened to ad-
dresses in keeping with the solemnity of
the day.
That was a generation ago. A great
change has come over those who have
come upon the stage of action since. The
present generation does not appreciate
the sacrifices the soldiers made in the
lonS-draWn-out war of the COS. such as
their forbears well knew, or they would
never allow the day to degenerate into
a season of merrymal;ing with contests
on land and water by day, and dances
by night, upsetting completely the mean
ing Of the anniversary. The desecration
has come to such pass that unless Il
change comes over the public mind it
will be necessary to abolish Memorial
day.
The flowers can be strewn just as well
without ceremonial and interruption 10
business and have equal honor and equal
meaning for our sleeping heroes as if
day were set apart for this distinction
In this way the mockery and heartless-
ness which now discredt Memorial day
will cease to disgrace it before the world.

The iron trade enters upon the sec
ond half of 1902 with prospects fully
as bright as when they began the year
with consumption greater and prices
higher At the beginning of the year
there was the serious hampering of in
sufficient railroad facilities. Pig iron
production has increased in the six
months, being 200 00n tons a month
greater on June 1 than on January |,
but still consumption outruns produc-
ton which is now restricted by labor
troubles With every nerve strained
in these six months the iron trade has
been unable to cope with the demands
of a phenomenal prosperity. In the
past week the coke shortage has been
more of a factor. Eastern Pennsyl-
vania and Southern Ohio furnaces are
feeling the shortage.

That fairy tale may not be fairy
tale is rather odd, and yet recent
writer advances the theory that the
numerous tales of genii and fairies, elves
and spirits, so dear to childhood, may
possibly be founded on truth. In Cen
tral Europe these fairy-lore stories are
most common and deal mostly with
dwarfsh little elves who had AN abun-
dant capacity for mischief with now and
then good deed, These creatures
were supposed to be purely products of
the imagination, but this writer claims
that there are traces in various sections
OF Europe of prehistoric race of
black dwarfs who were finally driven
from the land, not however before the
new dwellers had preserved the mem
ory of their theivish, prankish ways in
fantastic form as fairy race of SUPER
natural beings. The remnants of the
race exist to-day in race OF apish
dwarfs In Africa, and the pranks they
play, half In malice, half In fun, and
their remarkable power of conccaling
themselves rapidly in vegetation remind
one of the descriptions OF the gnomes
and elves In European legends.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL o. 1902.

One Of the most noticeable and OBJ
jectionablc features OF our national
character Is self-conceit-an cxag-
gerated estimate OF our achievements,
our inventions and superiority oyer past
ages. We seem to think that though
knowledge may not die with us, it GER
tainly began with us. II reminds one
of the German who always took off his
hat with profound respect when he
spoke Of himself. Well, we are wonder
ful people, but the people of centuries
gone knew more than we generally
credit them with. In literature and
art it is true we yield them precedence
but in a mechanical and scientific way
we think ourselves supreme. Glass Is
supposed to be comparatively modern
discovery, yet workmen digging into
the ruins Of city which ilourished more
than eighteen hundred years ago found
whole glass factory. And more there
are records which show that they then
had kind of glass which, though clear,
was not brittle, and could be crushed
and pounded into shape with hammer
We can make no such glass to-day. To
make good steel is the very triumph OF
science, get the finest steel in the world
is made by Asiatics who have no science
at all-only the wisdom of their fathers.
Europeans make swords which cut
through iron, but Orientals can do
more: they can make blades which will
cut feather in mid-air And travellers
In Central Africa tell Of tribe which
furnished them with finer steel razors
than they could secure in Europe. To
lift n stone weighing two thousand
pounds one hundred feet in the air and
place IT. on monument would puzzle
even II Yankee, but the ancient Egypt
ians did this. And the climax Is reach.

iaus four thousand years ago knew al
about railroads and steam engines
This may sound like myth, but al
ancient painting has been discovered
showing a ship full Of machinery and {
French engineer claims that its ar
rangement proves beyond doubt thei
knowledge of steam. How these thing
could disappear from the knowledge ant
sight of man is mystery, proving ant
foretelling but one thing: that thi
land of ours, so fertile and so rich, an,
this knowledge of ours, so seemingl,
vast, may one day disappear, too, and
new race and new civilization aris
