But the probabilities are that Mr. Morgan will

From the very outset the miners have had sympathy
of the people. This sympathy has revealed itself in
an apparent willingness to accept good the
rise in the price of coal, and while preserving
neutral position in the contest lend their moral sup
port to the miner. OF late however, this attitude
seems to have changed, and President Baer, with
his fstuous remarks about "God in His infinite
WISDOM is largely responsible for the change. The
public is getting sick of the self satisfied attitude of
the operators, who insist that all the right is on
their side and steadily refuse to arbitrate It is
getting sick, too, of paying double price for

the mine owners who while they force starvation on

doubt, but he can't bring about these things
And since he cannot afford to have the people &C.
lively arrayed against him. since he needs their taci
approval, if not their active cooperation, in his

IT WOULD be hard to find place where music is
more appreciated than it is within these walls.
Those fortunate beings possessing knowledge of the
intricacies of harmony and counterpoint may per-
haps enjoy it from more intellectual standpoint,
and be able to state exactly why pleases them.
but for sheer love of melody the members of this
community unexcelled.
This was evidenced very plainly during the week
following the Sunday Mrs. Leslie sang here. AS The
MIRROR man made.his round of the galleries in the
evening he was stopped by no less than q score of
men who wished to express their pleasure and graft

"She wasn't any more tired at the end than at the

There is no doubt about it, music is a great help:
and the New York man who last year proposed it
in the way of joke-as a reformatory agent spoke
better than he knew. On the face of it, it would
seem apparent that anything tending to lift man
out of himself to drive of depression and usher
heathful and elevating thoughts into his mind must
be beneficial Be Il is as it may, the fact remains
that the kindness of these charitable persons who
now and then favor us with little extra music is
fully appreciated.

CROWNED with years and donors, Rudolf Vir-
chow, the father of modern pathology, passed away
at Berlin last Friday. His was most active and
useful life-useful to himself and to the world at
large. From the age of %, when he graduated from
college; until within year of his death he was in
the very thick of things. He served his country in
the Prussian house of representatives was member
of the Berlin CITY council edited celebrated med
ical Journal directed the fortunes of great medical
school, worked with the Schliemanns at the excava
tons of ancient Troy made unequaled private
anthropologcal collection and was actively interest
ed in many other things in the busy world in which
he moved.
But Virchow will go down to history as the
originator of modern pathology. He was the first
to perceive the relation of Darwins discoveries to
medicine. He held that the human frame is com
posed of an infinite number of tiny cells, like the
cells of beehive reduced ten thousand fold and
that these cells have the power of multiplying them
selves. Disease he said, is an attack upon the cell
by some foreign substance. He spoke of the human
body as commonwealth of cells in which, in the
language of the Chicago Chronicle, leach individual
cell stands for citizen, while the tissues muscles
and bones represent different strata of society Dis
ease is merely conflict between the citizens of this
commonwealth, who ought to work harmoniously."
This idea was in harmony with the new lines of

science in Germany and opening agreat field for
students of all the world.

HERE is hard luck story that comes from New
York. One John B. Hendrickson some time ago
forged mans name, or obtained some money under
false pretences, did something contrary to law,
and in consequence arrested tried and con-
victed The case was heard before Judge Hurd, who.
finding some extenuating circumstances, sentenced
the man to eighteen months in prison-a light SEN
tence considering the crime. Hendrickson went up
to Sing Sing "did his Bit and came out few
months ago determined to live down his past and
keep out of trouble in the future To avoid recog-
milton he changed his name to Cox without due
process of law. Then he got Job as conductor on
street and started in to make life comfortable
for his wife and two children
day two ago Judge Hurd, who is now re-
tired from the bench, got on Hendricksons car and
the latter recalled his to the judges mind and
thanked him for his leniency. The judge, being
pleased that the man was doing WE'LL mentioned the
ease to FRIEND the friend mentioned it to some one
else, and finally it reached the ears of the president
ct the road The latter at once gave orders to have
Hendrickson discharged and swore out warrant for
his arrest under the New York statute making it q
nisdemeanor for person to secure work under an
assumed name.
This was pretty shabby trick on the part of the
president OF the road, who is probably no better
man than his exemployee and it lends color to the
statement 30 often made, that person who has
snce been to prison never gets fair show again.
But it should be remembered that Hendrickson him
self was partly to blame. He was sailing under false
solors If he is the right sort of he will not
be discouraged by this setback, but will 60 ahead
and get another job. There are other street car
companies in New York whose officials have not such
stern and Incorporating of justice and good
conductor will be sure to find place with one Of
them There is always place for the man who knows
his business And if he is living honestly now, it
doesn't matter very much what his past has been.
We predict that Hendrickson will be benefited in the
long by this narrow-minded action of the pres-
dents.

Mr.. MORGAN is said to be angry at the turn the
coal strike has taken. From condition of lethargy
six weeks ago it has become very active. The pres
of troops in coal fields has interested the news
papers and the majority of them supporting and
encouraging the miners. Mr.. Morgan dislikes
publicity Whether he is engaged in combination
of interests affecting millions of dollars and the in
habtants of two continents or whether he is buying
brica-brac in France he wants it done secretly
and when such matters kept out of the papers he
counts it a victory. He wanted the coal strike
quashed without talk without the aid Of troops

Hammond Of New York some
years ago raised doubt as to the
brain being the sole location Of
what is termed the mind. He in
stanced the acts of headless snakes.
etc, to illustrate his theory that
the mental capacity OF man is not
all located within the WALLS of the
skull.
The singing of Mrs. Leslie was
one Of the greatest pleasures We
have enjoyed in this institution.
The first daily newspaper ap-
peared in 1902. The first news
paper printed in the United States
was published in Boston on Sep
tember Is, 1870. The first teleg-
raphic instrument was SUCCESSFULLY
operated by s. F. B. Morse, the in
ventor, in 1885, tho it's utility was
not demonstrated to the world un-
til 1912.
One should trust no mans good
appearances; they are often de-
ceptive and assumed for the pur-
pose of obtaining favor. Treat all
men with respect, confide in few
and wrong none. Because friend
treats us courteously does not
imply that he has time to waste on
us during business hours. Tried
friendship should be duly appre-
ciated. We should always be-
prompt to acknowledge and rectify
a wrong. Our dealings with stran-
gers should be carefully considered
and we should never be afraid to
say No. Every man who is COM
PEELED to work for a living should
make point to lay up little
money for that rainy day which we
are all liable to encounter whea
least expected.
'Thackeray truly remarked

The worries of a morose person
may shorten his days and the
general Justice of natures arrange
ment provides that his early de-
parture should entail no long re-
grets. On the other hand, man
who can be cheerful keeps his
health and his friends are glad to
keep him. Too commonly as child
hood is left behind, people become
30 burdened with the accumula-
tons of knowledge and RESPONSE
bilities Of life, that they fail to
find time or inclination for cheer

some months ago, in
commenting on peoples change Of

nine and one-half miles long. The
largest desert is the Sahara Of
Northern Africa which extends
from the Atlantic ocean on the west
to the valley of the Nile on the east.
The length from east to west is
about 5000 miles and its average
breadth about 900 miles.
One good reason why q wise man
makes q practice of saying little or
nothing about his extraordinary
experiences is because he realizes
that people would never know
when to take him seriously and
this would have deleterious eff
feet on all his sayings, however
much truth might get into some of
his utterances.
When some people try to appear
dignifed they make as hard work
of it as the average American try
ing to learn French or Spanish.
With all the progress that the
world is making in other things,
why doesn't some genius conceive
a more economic way to make
people good? In the United States
alone the cost of maintaining our
army and navy is nearly two hun
dred millions of dollars annually.
But even this is scarcely more than
a drop in the bucket as compared
with the total cost of police, other
officers of the law, ETC., and the
expense of maintaining the multi
tudinal religious organizations, the
grand total of all reaching the ap-
palling figure of, approximately,
two billion dollars per annum.
And yet we are not very good.

An editorial in recent issue of
THEM1RRoR concerning rhythmica]
movements, heart beats, etc., sug-
gests other thoughts in connection
with that great organ, the human
heart. Most of us have seen the
hearts of chickens, but few have
seen those of human beings nor
given serious thought or study to
the important function performed
by the heart. Of course our hearts
are much larger than those of hens
and are in fact about four inches
in diameter and average six inches
in length. The beats of the aver
age heart are seventy times per
minute, 1920 per hour, 100, 800
per day, 36,792,0O0 per year. At
each beat two and one half ounces
of blood are thrown out of it; It's
ounces per minute; 656 pounds per
hour; seven and -fourths tons
per day, and all the blood in the
body passes through the heart in
three minutes. Not many of us,
however, have seven and three
fourths tons of blood in our bodiesf
atone time. ''It is rather singular"
says author Moses Folsom, s'that
the heart, instead of the liver,
should have been considered in
all ages the seat of the affections.
especially since it is a physio1og-
ical and psychological fact that on
the condition of the latter organ
mainly depends the nature of all
the affections, emotions and pas
sions. The thing ought to be
changed. It would come little
awkward at first for one to call his
sweetheart his sweetliver, or to sing,
home is where the liver is. etc.
