want, we Immediately find out some
thing else which we want even more,
and so on. We are always looking
before or after, and pining for what
we haven't got says the San Francisco
Monitor.
From our infancy we pass to girl
hood. We 60 to school and feel that
life is hardly worth living unless we
can Wear long dresses and have our
hair up. and go to bed late, and he al
lowed to go to dances and theatres;
and yet when we put on long dresses
and do up our hair, it seems quite
ordinary and commonplace, and the
theatres and balls, after the first novel
ty has Worn off, are nothing SO very
wonderful, ana we wonder how we
could have been SO silly as to long 50
ardently for such things, and change
our ideal again, only to find, when we
once more reach it, that it in no way
satisfies us.
Girls are wont to picture an ideal
husland-a being who never did and
never could eXist-;l model Of all the
virtues, with 10 single flaw or blemish,
SO absolutely perfect i'm every way,
that if he did exist, it would be un-
bearable to live with him. For quite
perfect people could never be SYM
pathetic; never having known tempta-
ton themselves, they would be unable
to understand it, and consequently
could have no sympathy or pity for
those who are more human, and there
fore more likely to fall.
If a husband comes at all (Which, in
these days when women so largely
outnumber men, is by no means q
foregone concluson) he generally turns
out to be quite an ordinary man, and
although for time the ideal may be
clung to, and credited with all the
! imaginary qualities wished for, a time
of awakening is almost certain tt
come. Sooner or later our eyes arc
sure to be opened to the fact that, as
Thackeray puts it, 1.-THE god Of honey
moon is a god no more; only a morta
like the rest of u.s." and that the lido
we had set up is very largely com
posed of clay, and liable to break, OF
at any rate to crack.
Well it is for us if, when this awall
ening comes, we recognize the fac
that we ourselves are mortals and no
angels.
We pine for riches; we think that l.
we had great deal Of money W.
should be happier and better. Ii
some ways we might be, for in spite
of the old saying that money is at th'
root of all evil. very often the lack o.
it has to answer for a large amoun
of misery; and it is certainly pleasan
to be able to indulge our tastes, an(
do good to others without any though
of expense.

in order to acquire the higher brands

danger is encountered by sending

those who have not we'll learned the
value of their own"
Before the Spanish war the declara-
ton Of such purpose as is attributed
to Mr.. Rhodes might have caused lit
tie apprehension. But within the last
five years we have been making his
tory, strange history, and making it
fast. The facts that Englishmen and
Americans come of common stock,
that they have a common language,
glory in kindred literature, have a
jurisprudence fundamentally alike,
and political institutions similar in
some respects-these facts have been
assiduously employed as a reason for
our adoption of England's foreign
policy, a policy that may be spelled in
three words-pertidy. murder, robbery.
The British war on the South Afri-
can burghers and our war upon the
Filipinos constitute the twin infamies
of the age, and the one has actually
been used in moral support of the
other. Almost every act of tyranny
against which the Declaration of Inde-
pendence protested we have committed
in our appendix to the ''war of liberia
tom in Cuba. Everything possible to
official America at Washington, dur
ing the last five years, has been done,
and is now being done, to imperialize
the United States, and England and
every other monarchy in Europe is
watching the attempted transformation
| with ill-disguised satisfaction.
Mr.. Rhodes has avowed bad pur-
pose with an honesty to his credit. 1t
goes without saying that the author
has 10 sympathy whatever with the
Rhodes scheme of South African feder-
alton under the British flag, or with
his larger idea of Anglo-Saxon fedora
tion under an imperial policy.
Under the circumstances fellowship
at Constantinople or st. Petersburg
| for American students would be less
dangerous to American institutions
than scholarship at Oxford. Turkey
and Russia are undisguised despot-
isms, which are at once and perma-
nently repellant to the American mind
But the partial resemblance of English
political institutions to our own, to-
gether with the kindred jurisprudence
and literature, tempts the American
to temporize with the monarchial idea,
to close his eyes to the atrocities and
misery which have invariably accom-
panied the fOrcible extension of Brit
ish sovereignty in every quarter of the
globe, and to believe the miserable
cant and hypocrisy with which Britain
has uniformly clOaked her selfish at
tacks upon the rights Of man.
1t is hoped. however, for the honor
of American manhood, that those
American students who avail them
selves of the Rhodes bequest will,

GASOLINE AUTO" TO GO.
In Fec Years, Says T. Il. Edison
His Nez0 Storage Battery.
fBY TELsGRAPH To THE rRIsUNE.l


Orange, ", j., July 29-Thomas 4. Edison
this afternoon gave a Tribune reporter an inter-
view on his new storage battery He has Just
returned from the trial trip to Atlantic City.
Mr. Edison made the trip in gasolene ma
chine, with four of his assistants. It was made
to find out what faults existed in the eoRstruc-
ton Of the running gears and bodies Of the ma
chimes now in use. with the object of avoiding
the weak points in the manufacture of four
machines equipped with the new batteries
These will be constructed at the Edison labora-
tory One of the machines Is designed for Mr.
Edison's personal use and the other three are
for friends of his.
now it's up to the automobile manufacturers to
construct a machine that will stand the FaoktRg
our batteries will stand" he said Il am going
to have these machines geared TO make twenty
five miles an hour. and l think my men can
turn out touring machine the size of some Of
those Panhards that will make better time on a
500 mile run than those big gasolens fellows
that make sixty miles an hour. 1t is the aver
age time we are after We won't lose any time
charging, for we can soak enough juice into
them during dinner time to run forty miles
further"
Mr. Edison said that his representative. Her
man Dick, was abroad introducing the ma
chimes in all the principal cities of the COnt-
nent and that eight machines were employed in
those tests.
u think we have struck the keynote of the
automobile industry" concluded Mr. Edison,
