No government in the world patronizes science
as does that of the United States OF course, there
are a number of foreign governments that support
scientific establishments. but none maintains so many
scientific bureaus does the scientific work that Is
accomplished by our Government
While the Smithsonian institution is not gov
crumcuta establishments It's bureaus, the National
Museum the National Geological Park, Bureau of
Ethnology and Astrophysical Observatory, are all
supported BY the Government, and are doing much
toward stimulating scientific research
Then there is the international exchange, sup
ported partly by the Government and partly by the
Smithsonian Institution. which is grcat medium for
the exchange of scientific publications among institu-
tons of learning, individuals and governments
Then. look at the Department Of Agriculture,
which has grown in a few years from an insignificant
bureau to Il great scientific department. publishing
hundreds of papers which have been the admiration
of the scientific fraternity the world over, to say

THE ETERNAL FITNESS OF THINGS.
BY CHARLES P. NETTLETON,
of New York.

There you have it all. one brief rule,
by which the whole intellectual and
moral life may be guided and judged.
Who first used that phrase? l want 10
take off my hat to him.
From the taste in dress OF the heather
and the Parisienne, from the meta
physics of Spinoza aud Kant. from the
ethics OF the Bible and the Decameron,
judgments differ
From one point of view it is essential
and best that they should differ, and
:, hen the subject is comparatively
trivial and has little bearing on morals
certainly no objection can be raised. but
we will pass such things at present. Now,
If you like. YOU may call it preaching. but
want 10 stand up sturdily and declare
that the truest and highest meaning Of
this phrase. eternal fitness of things. ="
is rightness, or, as scme would say,
righteousness.
No one is perfect, no great reform
can benefit the many without injuring
a few. and no absolute standard can be
imposed by one person on another; but
yet in all things namable there is a GER
tain general standard to be maintain
cd Call it vague il you will, this stan
dard. this proportion, but the great
heart and conscience OF decent people
on the high things OF life is largely
one. and an individual who looks at
some points through the wrong end Of
the telescope sooner or later gets
brought up with short turn-sometimes
with a rope.
Is it fitting to pay city clergyman
$4,000 a year or $4,000 and man in
the backwoods $500? Granted that usu-
ally the one is polished, highly educated,
gifted. and the other is in some ways
a smaller man. the discrepancy in sal
airy is still an abomination. 1t may
be doubted on which side lie the greater

his equal, for books, for crumbs of rea-
sonable comforts, for a months rest
once in five years. for just few pitlful
little luxuries for wife and children-nay,
perhaps even for the ability to marry.
On the whole, we should reverse that
salary business,
Again, So long as our laws permit
ten men to be worth hundreds of mill
ions of dollars while hundred thou
sand women are fighting for bread and
chastity on fifty cents a day each. so
long the divine beauty o: proportion is
kicked into the gutter. Is not our ma
tional conscience nearly paralyzed!
Deep thinkers all over the land are be-
coming troubled lest certain social and
financial evils by and by cause terrible
conflict.
Let us get still nearer home. Are you
perfect? You say no. You make mis-
takes, then; and sometimes need for
giveness. like all of us? Heart says
yes Well, do you have grace enough to
admit 1t and ask for pardon? If not.
behold a traitor to the Eternal Fitness
Of Things and to ones own better ma
ture? Selfish pride is not gift from
heaven, and at last will make one de-
spised.
The man who runs in debt unneces-
sariIy without seeing a way TO pay; the
woman who filings out and increases in
nuendoes against others; the man who
is Intentionally rude; the woman guilty
of any kind of a lie; these comprehend
not at all and apprehend but slightly
the heavenly values OF a human life
which continually reaches out to make
itself more and ever more in accord
with the Eternal Fitness of Things.

The great scheme of irrigation in the far West

the Geological Survey has been doing, while work OF
a somewhat kindred nature is being done by the

Our American Queen.

She seeks her garden in the morn,
And plans and delves with care;
a gingham bonnet crowns her head
And hides her golden hair.
She's not afraid to soil her lands;
She's busy as bee:
The spade she handles with much skill.
The queen of spades is she.
And later on the links She's found,
With skirt to match her hose;
Just note the color of her cheeks,
And watch her graceful pose.
The caddy hands her out her club,
And then he makes the tee:
she drives. ard you conclude at once
The queen of clubs is she.
The afternoon will find her out
To see a game OF ball;
She knows the fine plays when they're
made
And does applaud them all
She's pleased, of course when her boys
win,
And claps her hands with glee;
You cannot lose her on the field
diamond queen is she.
AT night you see her at the dance.
Bewildering and sweet.
A score Of men about her would
DO homage at her feet;
She smiles, and all the world smiles. too.
So it appears to me.
With enc accord we do proclaim,
The queen of hearts is she.
-Yonkers Statesman.

II was he who craftily insinuated.
more by Illustration than by state

too good they frequently end by
being very uncomfortable TO live
with, and occasionally by develop

the kind which tends to the peace

The unobtrusive rather than The
strenuous virtues are now in or
der.
We all know people who are
more or less afflicted with an
over-developed conscience. They
never consciously do anything
wrong, but they do more harm
than some deliberate criminals. 4
criminal one can look out for. and
ward off, and impriSon if neces-
sary, but there is nothing that can
be done with these ultra good
people. 1t is unfortunate, more
over. that their conscicucas work

around conscience is a good thing.
but when the instrumen, gets ore
sided, woe results.
Some of the signs of an over
developed conscience are easily
recognized One is an inclination
to attend 20 the affairs Of other
people. \ normal conscience is
usually fully occupied with its
owners business. Another sign is
tendency to worry and fuss and
make an ado over duties Of enc
sort or another. puty and fuss
are moi as closely allied as some
folk think. Still another evi-
dcace of water on the conscience
is IN Inclination to judge cne's
