Christian ,Joy.

Christian JOY is an experience Of great
depth and solemnity. It never overiooks
that sadness and sternness of life: it is
never shallow or unrehecting: it is re-
strained, tender, sympathetic, confident.
We know it when we see it in the face Of
any whom we love: it helps us.-R. j. /

The Romans took their meals while
lying upon very low couches, and not
until the time of Charlemagne was a
stand used around which guests we're
seated on cushions, while the table
only made its appearance in the mid.
die ages, bringing with It benches and
backs. The Greeks and Romans ate
from kind of porringer. During a
portion Of the middle ages, however.
slices Of bread cut round took the
place of plates. The spoon is Of great
antiquity, and many specimens are In
existence that were used by the
Egyptians as early as the seventeenth
century B. G. The knife, though very
old, did not come into common use as
q table utensil until after the tenth
century. The fork was absolutely un-
known to both Greeks and Romans,
appeared only as curiosity in the
middle ages and was first used upon
the table of Henry III. Drinking cups
in the middle ages made from metal,
more or less copious, according to the
owners means-naturally date from
the remotest age.

FOR INVISIBLE MARKsMEN.

WILLIAM YOULTON Of Brighton,
w England, has invented a device he
calls a hyposcope, by means of which
a marksman is enabled to aim his rife
at an object he cannot see directly.
That is, with his entire body concealed,
leaving absolutely nothing except a
rifle barrel for the other fellow to shoot
at the soldier who uses the hyposcope
can deal destruction to the enemy The
American Inventor describes the in
strument thus:
"The instrument consists essentially
.of a series of mirrors placed at angles
to each other I'm an Il" tube. which is
applied TO the rifle forward of the
hammer and just behind the rear sight.
The device is used to enable the marks
man to aim his gun without exposing
any portion Of his person to a return
fire. The sights and the object aimed
at are clearly visible i'm the field of the
last mirror. and the shooting done with
a gun so equipped is said to be fully as
accurate as when held in the ordinary
way. This I'm a few words. is the con-
struction and use Of the hyposcOpe."
1t is claimed that the average of eff
fectiveness Of the marksman viii be
greatly increased by the use Of the new
device. This because ii almost invari-
ably steadies a mans nerves to. be able
to shoot with the certainty that he
cannot be shot at. We are told that the
hyposcope viii put an end TO warfare
because it win make war so deadly that
the nations viii all get together on a
peace basis This latter argument
hardly has the merit of sound sense to
recommend it.
If one patton can use horoscopes, why
not others? And if all use them what
chance Is there FOR anybody 90 be hurt?
How can invisible marksmen. shooting
at other invisible marksmen, do each
other any damage? SO. instead of in
.creasing the list of casualties the hypO-
scope ought TO make war a pastime in
stead Of q serious business. When we
can have wars in which nobody is hurt
the nations OF the earth viii engage in
them just for the fun Of the thing and
for practice.
Instead of international yacht races,
when the hyposcope comes in wen have
international wars. Referees VIII be
appointed TO declare men out when,
their gun barrels are hit or the glass
broken iu their horoscopes. Really.
war with the hyposcope should be one
continuous round Of pleasure.

BURTON ON IRRIGATION.

On THE SUBJECT Of Flood Proven
- ton and Irrigation" Senator J. r.
Burton Of Kansas has an able article
I'm the North American Review for Oc-
tober il is easy to see from even a
casual reading Of the senator's paper
that ne is in thorough sympathy with
the national irrigation movement. He
believes the government should build
grest reservoirs wherever practicable in
order that the flood waters may be con-
served against the dry season.
I'VE are spending millions OF money
every year on rivers and harbors." says
Senator Burton. millions more on the
building Of a navy to protect our COM
merce. We have spent I'm the last four
or five years $500, 600. 600 in freeing Cuba
and establishing our prestige in the
Orient; and the better thought OF the
country con this point there is room

voting the stupendous appropriations
for carrying out these enterprises.

the proposition more blunuy and per-
haps in less captivating form--we are a

gies be directed along peaceful lines,

adding TO the wealth and comfort OF
the dwelIers therein, they are as nobly
employed as when exerted on the march
or the battlefield. Here is an oppor-
tunity to engage the best fighting quail
flies of our people"
Senator Burton gives us a happy
simile ir. his comparison of the fight
FOR land reclamation with fighting in
war. The simile holds good insofar as
lighting is necessary in both instances.
But fighting in war means desolatiOn
and destruction; IL means ruined farms
and homes, it means the sacrifice of
lives; fl meare distress and sorrow in
every form. The results Of the irriga-
ton battle give us a picture that is the
outithesis of the other.
Great tracts Of waste land are con-
verted into homes; crops are made to
grow on barren ground; the nations

ALL the nations happiness are inn
measurably increased. The way of the
irrigation movement has been long ard
hard, but the road is growing smoother
now. Enemies have been transformed
into friends, doubters into believers and

adherents. The time may not be so far
distant when every acre of land that it

SYMPTOMS OF PEEvIsAHEss.

THE HERALD is sorry to see symp-
toms Of peevishness on the edi-
torial page Of its esteemed contempt
rary of the machine. The machine or
gan cannot accept the popular verdict
of Tuesday with anything that even
remotely approaches composure. tt

made against the machine during the
campaign so happily concluded, and
insists that the allegations were not

a DEMOCRATIC YEAR.

DEMOCRATS generally have every
~ reason TO feel very much encour-
aged over the results OF Tuesdays cleo
ton. 1T seems to have been a Demo-
cratic day throughout the nation. The
Democrats lost Ohio. Massachusetts,
Colorado. Nebraska and Philadelphia,
but the outcome there was not at all
unexpected. Kentucky, Maryland,
Rhode Island. New York and every
thing else worth having went Demo
cratic.
The election in Maryland was really
the only one that had much national
significance. There q legislature which
IS % elect a United States senator was
elected. 1T U.s. safely Democratic. thus
insuring Democrat to succeed Sen
ator McComas Republican,. Senator
German felt that ne was in some meas
ure on trial and De met the test sue
cessfully. Maryland may once more
be classed as surely Democratic
state
A great deal OF interest centered in
the New York city election. While
every Indication for two weeks prior
10 the voting pointed to a victory for
Tammany it is doubtful If even the
5est informed really believed Mr Nc
Clellau's majority over Mayor Low
would be so tremendous. And yet it
was. after all. only a normal Demo
cratic majority. We have the word
of senator Plat for st that Mayor Low
and the fusion ticket polled the full
Republican strength. Besides. it doubt
less polled a number of independent
Democratic votes.
That New York City will be well
governed during the next two years
there is little reason 20 doubt We
quote Senator Plat again. OF know
Mr.. Mcclellan well and believe ne viii

cellent young man. and If we are de-

The victory Of the Democrats I'm
Kentucky may be said 70 take that
state once more out of the doubtful
column. Governor Beckham has been
reelected by a much greater majority
than was given him I'm 1901. This may
De taken as a clean cut endorsement
of his administration and as an ear
nest Of KentuCky's intention to main
tain law and order and good govern
ment, all of which were overturned
during the regime OF the Republican
party down there.
Ale things considered. the Democrats
win be able to enter upon the cam
paign for the presidency next year
with more than a hope of success.
