What Education Teaches.

The great thing in all education, says
a noted professor in the Beacon, is to
make our nervous system our ally in
stead of our enemy. 1t is to fund and
capitalize our acquisitions and live at
ease UPON the interest of the fund.
For this we must make automatic and
habitual, as early as possible, as many
useful actions as we can, and guard
against the growing into the ways that
are likely to be disadvantageous to
us, as we should guard against the
plague. The more Of the details of our
daily life we can hand over to the eff
fortress custody of automatonism, the
more the higher powers of mind will
be set free for their own proper work.
There is no more miserable human be-
ing than one In whom nothing Is ha-
bitual but indecision, and for whom
the drinking of every cup. the time OF
rising and going to bed every day. and
the beginning of every bit Of work. are
subjects Of express vOlitional delibera-
ton. Full half the time Of such man
goes to the deciding. or regretting, or
matters which ought to be so ingrained
In him as practically not to exist for
his consciousness at all. If there be
such daily duties yet not ingrained In
any one Of my readers, let him begin
this very hour to set the matter right.

The senator's great friend, George B.
Cox, OF Cincinnati, certainly named
Warren M. Harding for lieutenant gov

torney general, as we'll as being most
potential factor in nominating Judge
Summers, Auditor Guilbert and others.
While Senator Foraker expressed his
qualification at the ticket generally, he
was especially gratified over the unani-
nous adoption of a resolution which in
dorsed President Roosevelt's nomina-
ton as well as his administration.
1t had been anticipated that Sena-

horns over the indor 'ement of Roose-

locked arms and are now leading the
Ohio Republicans more harmoniously

PASSION FOR REVOLUTIONS.
Repeating Rifles and Cannon Have

Repeating Rifles and Cannon Have
Failed to Work a cure.
If some of the learned scientists
who are devoting their talents to the
study Of germs would turn their at
ands of the Caribbean they might have
discoveries which would prove bless
ing to mankind In that disturbed quar-
ter Of the world. Why should the
South American and the West Indian
take to riot and revolution as naturally
as a duck does to water, asks the Bal
timore Sun? Is it because they are
of fiercer and more turbulent DISPOSE
ton than the inhabitants Of other parts
of this hemisphere, or Is it because
they are the victims of sinister bacilli,
germs Of rampant and irresistible
strenuosity?
Not long ago an American savant
announced that in certain parts of the
United States there is bacillus which
makes its way into the bodies of its
unfortunate victims and produces an
invincible aversion to physical and
inertia, why shouldn't there be
bacillus Of pernicious activity and mis-
directed strenuosity as well? 1t is not
fair to the South American brethren
to assume that they are totally de-
praved; that they engage in throat
cutting and other bloody diversions
from pure love Of doing evil. In some
degree, at least, they have been under
the influence of American and Euro
pean civilization for great many
years. To some extent they have in
troduced the forms of civilization into
tons. Yet, despite their contact with
citizens of the most enlightened nations
and their commercial and diplomatic
relations with Europe and the United
States, they have scarcely more re-
spect for law and order than the
human race displayed in the days of
primitive man.
If there are bacilli in the western
hemisphere indigenous to the tropical
regions which incite Il people against
it's will and natural disposition to COM
nit deeds of violence and murder saw
ants ought to be able to find a remedy.
The antidote commonly used in cases
of pernicious strenuOsity has not prov
ed a success. Repeating rifles, bay
onets and cannon have failed to work
cure. When the South American
has introduced the germs of revolu-
ton and riot into his body nothing
will deter him from stirring up trouble
not even the fear that he will be
shot or bayoneted to death. When he
is under the influence of the bacillus
Of strenuosity-And that seems to be
chronic condition with him-he Is
like the Malay fanatic who runs
amuck, killing right and left The
scientist who discovers the remedy for
this would be one of the greatest tri-
umphs of this century If the ever-war-
ring inhabitants of the Latin-American
republics and of Haiti were inOculated
with the bacilli of slothfulness and re-
duced to state of innOcuOus inactiv-
ity. The implements Of war have
failed to produce the desired result.
Now let science take hand and If
possible transform the turbulent folk
of the tropics into peaceful and law
abiding citizens of the new world.

Of Nspoleon's career, the troubles in Spain and
Portugal and Greece. the upheaval in Belgium,

the exploitation of personal interests Every
thing, Of course, Mime. de Leven looked at
from the Tory point of view: when-as in the
case of Earl Grey-she established relations
with Liberal statesman, it was probably, as
the editor of this volume reminds US, because
she hoped to shape a Liberal policy to abso-
Iutist ends IT, indeed, her influence was great
in England. it was not permanently profitable
to that country or her own Their relations were
cordial when she took her place in English So
cety; when Lieven's recall reached him the
two governments were far from friendly, and
the discord has become emphatic ever
since Was it feminine vanity a busybody's
overconfidence that made her ObliviOus to the
changes that brought to her that thunderclap
of a recall?

In 1920 she is asking him to be sponsor to her
youngest boy; he is charming, agreeable and
accommodating in the highest degree; he is q
most excellent resource for u.s. and is quite happy
if one will pet him The truth is she adds that
London bored him. and he was never so happy
as in the house of his Russian friends When
the Duke went to Russia as Special Ambassa-
dor to congratulate the Emperor Nicholas on his
accession, she was at pains to impress upon
her brother that the English visitor was "the
finest and noblest character of the day." and
was probably even more distinguished by his
feelings than even by his high military repu-
tation." In 1898 Wellington's refusal to support
the Emperors plans for Greece and Turkey
reused the anger of the lady. who had violent
quarrels with him and called him obstinate

''as in everything else. This is because 1 say

the remark attributed to the King concerning

temporaries. though. possibly that is not say

Russian officer and administrator close to the
Emperor Alexander and Nicholas. his success
sor-were partly intended, no doubt, for the in
formation Of his government. They give the
reader the amusing impression that Lieven was
something of methodical fgurehead and his
wife the real ambassador They show with
what ardor she played the game of politics in
behalf of her country, how she sought in her
friendships with Wellington and Canning, with
Aberdeen and Palmerston and Earl Grey, to
turn all the powers of witty and crafty
intrigante to the service of the Emperor's in
terests.
That she was often successful in her efforts
and that her reports were exceedingly useful to
the Russian Government, Count Lieven's long
retention in England goes to prove. Yet, it may
be doubted if her influence as great as she
believed, or that the wool which her fair hands
pulled over the eyes of English ministers was
quite dense she intended it to be. Well
