Favorite in Berlin.

In Berlin he has been a great success
as ambassador, and the warm and affec-
tionate regard in which he is held by the
Kaiser is shown among other things by
the fact that the latter has on several
occasions paid such early calls at the
embassy that he found Sir Frank still
in bed. declined to let him get up and
sat by his bedside talking 10 him He
often boasts of having seen Sir Frank

Great Crowds There.

People came from far and near, from
Frankfort. from Cologne, and from
places even more remote, to SCI this
exhibition, which was thronged an the
time that it remained open. and I can
not help thinking that something of the
same kind might be attempted with sue
cess by the fashionable women of the
various big cities in this country If a
number OF them were to get together
aDd 70 organize an exhibition of all
'heir finest Jewels. their most beautiful
isces and furs and their most precious

flock TO see them. al msinuations OF
a love Of ostentation being dispelled by
the fact that the show was in behalf
Of some deserving charity.

bitiOn of the jewels. plate. bric-a- brac.
laces and furs of the Vanderbilts. the
Astors and other families equally identi-
fed IN the eyes of the public with the
possession of great wealth. would be
certain TO dTasy such big crowds. not
only from the Empire City, but also
from other places nearby, that a for

Thought of the Stage.

Nor does John Morley make any men
ton that I can find of the fact that not
only was Gladstone playwright but
that he at one time seriously consider
ed going on the stage as a professional
actor. He was TO such an extent stage
struck in his youth that he consulted the
famous actor Macready respecting his
chances Of success in the dramatic pro-
fession. The tragedian IS reported 20
have expressed a favorable opinion to
him
But subsequently Mr.. Gladstone was
induced 10 abandon his intentions IN
that direction by the advice of his
friend Lord Stanley, afterward four
teenth Earl of Derby. so celebrated as
prime minister and as translator of the
works of Homer. OF course. the en-
treaties of Mr.. GIadstone's own relatives
likewise weighed in the balance, per
suading him to change sis plans. The
course of English history in the last
half of the nineteenth century might
have been different had Mr. Gladstone
become an actor.

The HaZing Question.
The Mischievous influence of Winking
at Infractions of Discipline.

dl An4LdNA4UAS VI DISCIPLINE
There is a disposition IN certain
quarters to advise lemeney with the
youths who have been proved guilty
Of hazing in colleges, and ii is argued
that these youths are not necessarily
the least worthy men in their classes.
The idea seems to be that we ought to
be economical, and not waste any pos
sible good material for soldiers, sailors
or graduates of colleges.
Spacious tins argument Is, and
likely to appeal 10 the sympathies of
people whose sotmess Of heart has
affected their heads. but it is all be
side the question. II is not necessary
to suppose that the young men who
send their comrades to the hospital by
ingeniously contrived torments are In
ali respects inferior specimens OF
humanity, or that they may not make
very good men when some of the non
sense has been knocked out of them.
The point is that it is a soldiers bust
ness TO obey orders: that the orders
are to stop hazing; and that it Is not
elevating to the standards of the army
to wink at mfFaetions of discipline
ia short this is case in which a
spade should be called a spade ana
not a teaspoon or a soup ladle.
The danger which Is perhaps most
imminent in American life just now Is
that of disregard for law. The IN
iquitous influence of political pull,
which allows one man to break the
law and go scot-free. while another Is
punished; the subtle corruption of
bribery, by which money becomes a
greater power than law; the irration-
al mob spirit, which holds that any
sort of outrage Is justifiable if a mum
Der of people are determined TO com
nit II; all these things endanger that
respect for law which Is the only safe
guard Of popular liberty. The edu-
Gated man cannot afford to identify
himself with the law-breaking force.
He cannot afford to place irresponsi-
bic tradition above responsible gov
eminent, or TO make brute force, and
rot reason, the last appeal among dis
ciplined men. That Is why hazing
should be punished, without any
weakening or false sentiment.

A Montreal youth of twenty-five

This should be a warning to those
who are inclined to be incorporate in
the use OF breakfast foods, which.
while undoubtedly healthful when
used IN moderator, are not suited to
purposes of intoxication. 1t IS true
that this young man did not eat break

eaten with milk and sugar in order to

There have been skepties inclined to
believe that mankind was not intend

that the human stomach is a part Of
the divinely ordained scheme of
things and ought to have something
