If. months ago. there had been a weather
prophet in whom people had the fullest con-
1dence, Indiana might now be crowded
with those who seek cool and delicious
weather during the summer and command
the leisure to enjoy It, But. no person of
admitted authority appearing to make the
prediction. a great many people are having
a very disagreeable season at summer re-
sorts and in cottages by lakesides or near
the ocean. Barring rather too much rain
fall. Indiana and the corn belt generally
have enjoyed a summer of unusual cool
ness. No one can predict what may come in
the last half of August and early Septem-
Der, but thus far there have not been more
than ten hot days. If there shall be hot
weather in September, It is probable that
most OF those who have left this locality
for cool resorts will return in season TO
suffer from heat as they have suffered
from cold in the places farther north, thus
spending their money ana getting a full
season OF discomfort, while those who have
remained at home have enjoyed nearly
three months of most comfortable weather.
All know that such a cool summer is excep-
tional; still, if the weather prophet, whose
predictions are confined to two or three
days and are forecasts rather than predic
tions. could attain that perfection Of scien-
tifc skill which would enable him TO pre-
dict with positive assurance the weather Of
a whole summer, he would be regarded as
Iirst-class benefactor by people who live
in the hot belt Then those who feel that
their position requires that they must go
away a portion of the summer could go
south, or 10 California, instead of north or
east. If a succession of such seasons should
be foreseen by the enlarged and improved
| weather predictor, Indiana would be going
into the summer resort business. The pa
pers of the northern cities abandoned to
| frigidity would be filed with advertise
ments of country homes which would take
in the resorters at a moderate price and
furnish them home comforts. while the
hotels would send out astonishing pictures
| displaying wealth of accommodation with
charming surroundings.
On the whole, this region Will not covet
those cool summers which make summer
resorts. Its people would not take from
New England, Michigan and other locali-
ties in the north so large and so needed an
income as they derive from the summer
boarder. We have enough of the earth's
bounties in the corn belt without coveting
those of the States north of US, and particu-
larly east of US, that rely upon us for what
ever they have to eat that is really good

The enthusiastic plaudits of all the British
people who were within sight or hearing
of King Edward yesterday as Ire and the
Queen proceeded TO their coronation are
calculated to contradict the reports of
years that Edward is not popular with the
British people. A ruler could not have
been received with more hearty and appar-
emily genuine marks OF approval. The
ovation also indicates that the British peo-
pie are not averse TO having a King by
right of descent, so there is no ground for
the predictions made few years ago that
If Victoria should not be the last to Sit on
a British throne, the then Prince of Wales
would be. So far from any indication of
opposition to the monarchy which Edward
represents are the ovations of yesterday
that it is fair to assume that the British
throne was never on firmer foundation
in the desires Of the British people than
at the present time. The contentious be-
tween the powers of the King and the
rights of the people were settled before
Victorias rule and were strengthened by
her long reign. The House Of Commons,
chosen by the people. is the government OF
Great Britain to-day, the power of the
lords being really in the nature OF veto.
while King or Queen do little more than
give dignity and something of stability to
the rule of the empire.
Those who read of the pompous cere-
monies attending the browning of the King
and Queen will find marked contrast in
comparison with the Inauguration of a
President Of the United States Portions
of the ceremony suited to the United King
dom of years ago seem strangely out OF
place in these times of brief ceremony and
of a growing dislike Of it the part OF
the American people. For years, with us

poorly cooked. rather than the insufficient
food. are TO be attributed much of the in
temperance, the lawlessness and the vice
and crime of the population with which he
deals. Among the suggestions which this
officer made was that efforts be made to
instruct girls in the art of cooking as one
of the essentials to the higher standard Of
living which is the aim of intelligent eff
fort in charity. Already the progressive
educators in public schools are turning
their attention in this direction. In this
city Superintendent Kendall has begun, in
a small way, in localities where most
needed, practical instructions In household
economics. a general system of such in
struction would do more TO better human
conditions in this city than would a uni
versity, shocking as the statement may ap-
pear to some excellent people.
The late Benjamin Harrison, practical
philosopher well as statesman, never
said truer thing than that "a cheap coat
makes a cheap man" He was bitterly de-
nounced by demagogues for making such a
statement, and his announcement of it
doubtless frightened his timid friends. 1t
nevertheless involved the experience of all
men that seek instruction through observa-
ton. However meritorious he may be, the
man who wears cast-off clothing realizes
that he is not capable as are other men.
In larger sense the observation of General
Harrison applies to the people who live in
wretched tenements. They feel their degra-
dalton, and unless society desires "a SUBJ
merged tenth or smaller submerged
fraction. it must devise some means by
which such people can be offered decent liv-
ing places. That must be the first step, since
it is the first step to the building up of the
home relation. Those who undertake to
build and rent such dwelling places are
wiser philanthropists than those who give
thousands to well-established institutions
of learning.

William Snively, a venerable farmer, in
Shady Grove, Pa, who had lost the use of
his arms by rheumatism, happened to be
stung by bees. He ran away as fast al he
could and when he was beyond their fury
he found that he had left his rheumatism
with the bees. A neighbor. victim of rheu-
matism, hearing of Snively's cure, resolved
to try it himself. So convinced was he of
its efficacy that he called his neighbors to
witness his cure. That he might obtain the
full benefit of the stingcure he arrayed
himself in a long thin robe and went forth
and upset two hives. Instantly the bees
improved the shining hour upon Carl APP
rogle with rather more than characteristic
energy, so that the patient, unable TO run
away, had more than a-plenty Of cure and
cried for help. To assist at close range
would be to invite the attentions of the
bees, which his neighbors did not desire, so
after the bees had applied their cure a
long time, the neighbors lassoed him and
pulled him away from his tormentors. 1t is
reported that the condition of Mr. Aprogle
is such that some time must elapse before
he can discover whether or not his rheuma-
tism is cured. 1t is possible that the bee
sting may be a cure for rheumatism, but it
should be applied in homeopathic doses,
one hive OF bees judiciously employed be-
ing enough for an entire neighborhood.

few months ago the country was rather
anxious over the details of a declaration
that all the trunk railroad lines were to be
put under such management that there
could be no competition in rates. If that
was ever the purpose of the managers it
has been abandoned, as the leading West
ern lines now engaged in tremendous
rate-cutting ARRAY. The Great Western
made heavy cut on cattle and dressed
meat rates, and the Santa Fe retorts by
cutting cattle rates in the middle. All of
which goes to sustain the statement made
by some of the managers few years ago
that the roads could not keep their agree
ments with each other thus rendering
pooling arrangement necessary in order to
remove the temptation TO engage in rate
cutting.

A paper called the New Voice has de-
manded Of the Journal the official source
whence it got the figures that the value OF
liquors consumed in the United States dur
ing the year 1901 was s425 .JOi. 167. These
particular figures are not at hand just now.
but the census OF 1900 gives the output Of
all the nquor-making plants $S40,5ooOoo in
round numbers. That would mean that
every man, woman and child consumed
$3.50 worth a year if all were used for hu-
man irrigation, which is a great deal more
than 1t should be. The New Voice claims
that the value used as intoxicants last year
was 81, 200, O00, 0O0-a value equal TO half the
nations stock Of currency and equal 10
s15.79 each for all the inhabitants Of the
country. AS the drinking is done by less
than one-fourth of the people, the average
annual expenditure would be s4S. The
American Grocer has put the drink bill of
1901 at $1,094,644155. But whether it is
s50O.OOo.0O0 or double that figure. it is too
much, even If there is less drunkenness
now than fifty years ago.
