The Man without Reserve.

How quickly man without reserves
goes to the wall, when anything unus-
ual happens to him! Like baby, he
is all right as long as nothing comes
in collision with him to expose his
weakness.
What pitiable thing it is to see
bright, strong young men facing an
emergency or a crisis with no reserve
of education, character, or training.
How quickly they disappear! Like a
rowboat on the ocean, when run into
by an ocean liner, or like frail bark
which strikes an iceberg, the weaker
vessel always founders in the collision.
He. had no reserve" might be writ
ten upon the tombstone of many a
man who has failed in business, in the
professions, or in the home.

The annual mortality lists of men
shot by careless hunters in the Maine
kocGs are getting very tiresole. This
season twelve men were sh,J and five
of them died. In the Adirondacks the
case is very much, the same. One
trouble is that the invading army of
city sportsmen include many persons
who are not fit to be trusted with any
firearm. Another is that the rifles
commonly used carry much too far.
There is a new law in Maine under
which sportsmen who shoot men may
be prosecuted, but it is not enforced.
Why not make every sportsman from
outside the State put up bond of
$1,000, to be forfeited if he hits any
thing human? queries Life.

railways Throughout the world is about

ly 21h per cent of the total lines eX-

century embraced nearly 100000 miles.
OF the increase during the recent years
400 miles per annum are added to the

Experiments are being made in Eu-
rope with alcohol which have been so
successful that certain enthusiasts de-
clare that it will be the fuel of the fu-
ture. There is no doubt that means
will be discovered to make better
use of the heat-generating properties
of alcohol than hitherto. If so, we shall
have no cause for complaint, as we
have the power to produce an almost
inimitable supply of the fluid.

The indianapolis Journal thinks that
the transportation problem, already a
serious one, is likely to become far
more so in the near future. Consider

country and the price of products,
there is no more important problem

A marked increase in pauperism is
reported in London. Last year nearly
$500 more than usual received aid at
the almshouses. No cause is assigned
for it. Perhaps we do not have to look
beyond the South African war for it,
because war always brings poverty
and destitution in their most aggra-
waited form to the thresholds of the
moor.
