Memorial Day

1t is not an executive proclamation or
a legislative enactment which sets this
day apart and causes it's observance by
the American people. Memorial day
had it's origin in the desire of loving
hearts to pay tribute to the memory Of
brave men who had died in battle, and,
hallowed by the customs of a genera
ton. it has become sacred day in
each requiring springtime. Each year
the ranks Of the veterans are thinner
and their steps more hating, but 9TH
ers are not wanting to scatter the
beautiful flowers and perform the cere-
monies which befit day dedicated to
the patriotic dead. 1t is a day whose
lessons the young of the land Should
treasure in their hearts, that they and
their children may keep it what their
fathers meant it should be, a holy day
not to be profaned by holiday sports
and pleasures.

The Care and Feeding of Children
a Catechism for the use of mothers ant
children's nurses, by L. Emmett Holt
| N. D., L. L. d. Third edition, revised
and enlarged. Cloth: price IS cents
New York; d. Appleton and Company
DR.. Holt is unquestionably one Of
| the best authorities on the diseases o.

New York, and as the professor of dis
eases of children in the famous col

lumbia University he has enjoyed ex-
ceptional opportunities for original re-
search and observation. His advise tc
young mothers is eminently practical
1t is moreover free from technical
terms, and wonderfully clear, direct
ana exact in its instruction.
1t was written originally as a man
uel for use in the school for nursery
maids established in New York in the
fail of 1889 in connection with the
Fables Hospital of that city. Since
then additions have been made from
time to time as experience demonstrate
ed their need until today it is without
doubt the finest work of its kind in the
country.
Reciprocity. by J. Lawrence Laugh.
lin, Phi. D., Professor of Political Econo-
my in the University of Chicago, and
and Fl. Parker Willis Phi. D., Professor
of Economics and Political Science in
Washington and Lee University: New
York: The Barker and Taylor Co.
This is an exposition of the general
subject of reciprocity by two eminent
college authorities. In years past COL
lege economists living in an atmoS-
phere of theory have been so imprac-
teal in many of their conclusions, that
there is no denying the fact that as
a whole they lost the confidence and, in
n large measure the respect of the
men of the business world, whose time
was spent in dealing with affairs, and
whose judgments, based upon PRACTICAL
results were the outcome of practical
experience. HllOY |

more practical perceptions of the BUSH
ness world, that men of affairs have
grown somewhat in the habit of turn
ing up their noses, at new emenations
from this source
The present volume does not deal
with theory. It treats the question of
reciprocity from the historical stand
point and with a thoroughness that
would scarcely seem possible in a work
of less than GOO pages. The general
division of the subject is made under
twelve chapter heads viz: The origin
and Nature of The Reciprocity Idea;
Reciprocity with Canada; Reciprocity
with Hawaii 1S76-1900; Reciprocity
and the Tariff Controversy in. the Unit
ed States 1S9019oe; Reciprocity and

Nothing but flags-but simple flags.
Tattered and torn and hanging in rags;
And we walk beneath them with careless
Nor think of the hosts of the mighty dead
That have marched beneath them in days
gone by,
With burning cheek and a kindling eye.
And have bathed their folds with their

And dying. blessed them. and blessing,
died.
Nothing, but fiags-yet, methnks, at

They tell each other of their tales of

Round each standard torn-as they stand

As the word is given-they charge! they

And the dim hall rings with the battles

And once again. through the smoke and
Those colors lead to a Nations life.
Nothing but fiags-yet they're bathed with
They tell of triumphs-of hopes-of fears;
Of mothers prayers-of a boy away,
Or o.. a serpent crushed-of the coming day;
Silent, they speak-and the tear will start,
AS We stand beneath them with throbbing
heart, 20
And think of those who are ne'er forgot,
Ihelr flags come home-why come they
not?
Nothing but fiags-yet we hold our BREATH
And gaze with awe at those types of
death;
Nothing but fiags-yet the thought will

The heart must pray though the lips be
dumb!
They are sacred, pure and we can see no

On those dear loved flags come home

Baptized in blood, our purest, best

Our Greatest CITY.

New York. our largest and wealthiest
city, happy, prosperous and expanding,
has. this week, celebrated the 250th an
niversary of it's Incorporation. A
uuarter of a thousand years is a long
time, and the completion of that period
of municipal life is we'll worthy the en-
thusiastic and elaborate observance
which New York has given it. The city
had it's beginning as a trading post of
the Dutch West India company, and in
1853 it obtained from the reluctant
Governor Stuyvesant a measure of
home rule and municipal Importance.
Now it is the second city in the world,
and true to its origin its main business
| is with commerce. In its origin also
it was very cosmopolitan place and
such it remains, today. There are only
two larger German cities in the world;
the Irish have been far more promi-
nent and powerful in it than they ever
were in Dublin; it has almost as many
| so ANetpiNn, anu nv 'N-ANt Ni''
has. or ever had, so many Jews within
it's borders.
| But New York is more than a
metropolis and a great commercial and
cosmopolitan center. To it the whole
country looks for leadership in business
enterprise and social life. 1t has per-
formed grand things for art and litera-
ture and along all lines of philanthropic
and charitable endeavor. Sometimes
the rest of the country has looked upon
lit with jealousy and distrust, but not
often 1t is sometimes said that it
Idraws it's wealth from the veins of the
nation. but it gives as much as it
takes. and its cosmopolitanism, though
DOT typical, has it's good, as we'll as its
bad, side.
The greatest stain upon it's name in
recent years has been it's political cor
ruption. and the best thing about the
present celebration is that it takes
place under a city government which is
honest and efficient. Until two years
lago New York had the most rotten
municipal administration in the world
This is true no longer. It's best citizen
lship was aroused, and decency, honesty
land civic pride won a great victory
The thieves and thugs and blackmail-
ers of Tammany were turned out. The
infamous bandit, Croker, is in exile il
Europe and ex-Chief Dewey is III
private life. Adams, the policy king,
is in Sing Sing, and Garfield, the chief
gambler, is awaiting trial. The chart
ties department has been reformed
THE board of health has been made
lcni lent Corrupt, scandalous leases
have been routed out of the dock de-
partment. The streets are cleaned as
never before. Public works are hon
est and efficient. The schools have
been improved Teachers salaries have
been raised. Honesty is to the front
The death rate is lower. Systematic
levics on all licenses have been stopped
City promotions are by merit. The
civil service reform law is enforced. \
civic triumph like this for sound, hon
es: administration closes $50 years with
glory.

No monument that has ever been
erected to the memory of native of
Maine, probably, will exceed in beauty
and cost the statue to the memory of
| the late Hazen S. Pingree, governor
iof Michigan, at Detroit, to be dedicat-
ell in June of the present year. Mr..
| Pingree was born in Denmark, oxford

(which was spent as a prisoner OF WIZ
i Going West after the war he worked
lin shoe factory-as he had done IN
his Young manhood before entering the
lserVice-and later engaged in the shoe
manufacturing business in Detroit
(which he developed to the largest eS-
Establishment of its kind in the West.
He was four times elected mayor OF
Detroit and twice governor or Mich
iGan and While mayor attained proml-
nerce by his successful project of Sc
Touring vacant lots for the use of the
lpoCr on which they raised potatoes. He
also became conspicuous for his fights
against street railway and other trust
denominations and for his efforts at es-
Itahlishine low fares on street railways.
1.-The statue to be erected to the
memory of Mr.. Pngree is the work
of an Indiana sculptor, Rudolph
Schwartz. who has made this statue
by the famous seamless process
the statue being of German bronze.
The art of casting seamless bronzes
was known to the ancient Greeks but
has been a 'lost art for centuries
The design of the Pingree statue is
in heroic size. The figure is seated
the piece measures IL feet in height
and weighing ten tons. The exercises
of dedication will be attended by high
officials of city and state and the
statue will be one of the most cele-
brated monuments in the state Of
Michigan.
