voice is well trained it is not easy to
speak distinctly on the high or the low

them are the best on which to acquire

have his words understood when singing
such songs.

She Was a Good Woman.

never seemed to inspire love in any
living thing. Her daughters grew up
wild, and her sons were of no particu-
lar account, and her husband rarely
sought her society, and she never I'M
derstood any of these things. She
considered herself unfortunate. 1t was
a pity, for she was a good woman
Yes, she was. And yet she knew not
how to be hospitable. Very, very sell
dom did she offer cake or plate of
ice cream to her callers. Not that
she grudged her best, but her mind
scared above such trifles. Her idea
of a gift was to present you with a
tract; of entertainment, to read you
her exegesis of some scriptural pass
age. Gliding on to loveless old age,
she dreamed dreams and saw visions
on the way.
A good, good woman. And yet there
are many others not half SO good-in
a way-who go through life showering
kisses on little children, patting dogs
on the head, doing little trivial kind
nesses here and there, more because
they can't help it than from princi-
pie, who CLEAN riches of love in this
present time, and who will be far
ere missed and mourned hereafter
than this poor, good woman.-Phila-

daily. In a week or two a crop of ex-

WHAT STAYED THE KAISER.

In his admirable address at the
Founders Day celebration of Tulane
University in New Orleans, last Thurs
day, Mr.. Edward M. Shepard. in dis
cussing the growth of a world public
sentiment, mentioned as an illustra-
ton of the power of this sentiment
the change in the policy that was indi-
Gated by the attack which a German
warship made upon small fort in
South America during the trouble in
Venezuela. He said:
Venezuela cried out to the United
States, and within a few hours after
the unheroic bombardment every
American newspaper had its say With
in forty-eight hours it was topic in
the British Parliament. Within a few
hours more the comments of states
men there and cablegrams from
Washington were in the Foreign Of
fees of Berlin and Paris. The German
war lord stayed his hand when he un-
derstood the world sentiment, and
seemed willing to be soothed by a
check from an American ironmaster,
and his British ally was at once
ashamed"
The telegraph has brought the whole
civilized world in touch. Important
events are known in all lands very soon
after they happen. If they are of a
character to affect the interests of ma
tons the heads of governments, states
men and the people begin discussing
them at once. What public sentiment
is in regard TO them is quickly known,
and there is no doubt that this senti-
ment, which Mr.. Shepard calls a world
sentiment has a powerful influence
in determining the course that shall
be taken in regard to them.
Within a few hours after his war
ship had fired upon the Venezuelan
fort the Emperor William was made
aware Of the fact that the world dis
approved the act Even II he had been
disposed % continue the policy inaugu-
rated By his warship he would hardly
have taken the risk Of doing so after
he had heard the worlds opinion OF u.
And there Is no doubt that this world
sentiment Is going 10 play an important

to do in fifty days. and hence there is
no reason why there should be two
sessions of fifty days each, and thus
put the state to a heavy and unneces-
sary expense.
No doubt there are many members
like Mr.. Davis, who are anxious to
keep down the cost Of legislation. par
ticularly as the change in the time Of
the meeting of the Legislature is not
a good reason for an increase in the
cost of it, but will the majority Of the
members take that view? They prob
ably will, If the papers all over the
state join in creating a public senti-
ment in favor of it. Otherwise it is
probable that ii will be considered ad-
visable to hold two sessions of fifty
days each. The more such members
as Mr.. Davis talk in favor of limiting
the two sessions to fifty days the bet
ter the chance will be of saving the
state large amount of money.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Den1
says: 'The Senate has almost uni
formly asserted its right. to ratify a
reciprocity treaty without the APP
prevail of the House, but in some cases
the text of the treaty provides for the
action of the House, and when such a
stipulation is included 1t has never
been disputed. The action of the
Senate Committee in amending the
Cuban reciprocity treaty by inserting
a clause requiring the assent of the
House is a decided departure from US
age, and will, If approved by the Sen
ate, establish an important precedent.
1t is not often that the Senate yields
any of its prerogatives to the House,
but 1t will do so If it shall approve the
action of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. Probably opposition to the
treaty had more to do with the action
of the committee than regard for the
constitutional rights of the House
