1t is evident that Walter w. Concklin
has misunderstood our position in regard
to the wreck of the Maine We offer
no objection whatever to the exhibition
of the ship ut Coney Island, as he sug-
gests, or i'll Central park, at the worlds
talr, or on the mall in Washington. Our
protest Is merely against leaving her
where she is. in the accumulated mud
and filth at the bottom of Havana har-
Dor.
BY all means let her be raised and
brought to one of our ports if that is re-
garded as more desirable than her burial
IN clean water. Let her be. as Mr.
Concklin urges, Gifted high on stills"
Let mausoleum be erected over her
shattered hull. TO stand as 4 perpetual
monument which shall recall an epoch
making experience in our national his
tory. But let all this or anything else be
done ut the expense of the nation and
as national act. 1t should not be left
10 the hands of spectators as money
making enterprise.
Yet on the whole we incline TO our
original idea. Let the Maine be raised
at the cost of the American governments
Let there be taken from her hull such
portions and pieces of her structure and
equipment as will serve for memorial
purposes i'll the national museums. in or
around the army and navy building. and
in such other places as may be deemed
fit and proper. Let her military mast be
brought to Arlington, to stand as shaft
above the graves of her dead Then.
with suitable naval observance and cere-
mony let her be sunk in clean water.
Six years ago the American people ex-
pressed their hatred of another nation in
shouts of Remember the Maine" and
To HI with Spain" That bitter ami
mostly is gone, it is hoped, forever. Let
the ship whose mishap was the provok-
ing cause of those sentiments he buried
like the bitterness which engendered
them. No good can come from convert
ing the Maine into a money-making spec
tacle. She should be buried decently for
the sake Of our own self-respect, and the
government should bury her,-New York

Animal Trainer Resorts to Original and
Most Successful Methods.

The trainers of wild beasts show a
good deal Of originality in devising means
to subdue mtractable animals. The
Philadelphia Record quotes Mr. Lover
superintendent of the Geological park in
that city, as thus describing how a tiger
became reconciled to its attendant:
''There was Snowman | used to know
named MelchiOr. He once bought a mag
nificent Bengal tiger, which he got at a
low price because it had already killed
two men.
AT first Melchior would put his foot
or his hand into his cage, but the tiger
would leap at him. Nothing lie could do
would establish a friendly relationship
between himself and the tiger
"Some originality was needed. and
Melchior showed it by taking some old
clothes, stutiing them with rags and
throwing them into the cage. The tiger
in a jffy tore the old clothes to pieces
thinking that the figure was human
being.
Next day and the next day and the
next Melchior continued to throw in TO
the tiger stuffed figures and the tiger
continued to destroy them. But rs time
passed the animal ceased to put heart
into his work and in the end it gave up
altogether these attacks on the scare
crows; it would just play with them, or
else not notice them at all.
Now was Melchior's time. He opened
the cage door one morning, walked in
boldly and slapped the tiger familiarly
on the back. 1t gave him friendly look
and purred. 1t took him for another
manikin not worth buthcring about Ii

Minute Measurements.

Because the balance wheels of watches
expand and contract with changes of
temperature they run slower or faster
according to circumstances. BY making
them of different kinds of metal, having
different degrees of expansion with in
crease of temperature the effect of their
changes on the running of watches may
he almost entirely eliminated. But in
dealing with such a problem it is neces-
Sary to know the eXpansbility of the
metal employed. \ means of measuring
it is furnished by an instrument called a
dilatometer. in which system of deli
cate levers. or chain of gear wheels,
magnifies the motion of a pointer over a
graduated scale hundreds of times.
At meeting of the Physical society
in London lately a dilatometer was ex-
hibited which had magnihcation of
1900 times. so that the change in the
length of a piece of steel caused by a
single degree of rise or fall of tempera-
tur was clearly measured by it.-Youth's

Family Government.

Family affection thrives only when
matters in the family are decided or
their merits, without reference to age
or strength.
Slipshod family government and al
lowing children to tyrannize over one
another are responsible for absence Of
affection in families.
Sometimes the tyranny of weakness eX-
lists in a household. the youngest and
weakest holding whole family at bay
but this is the exception.
Some Dothers decide every quarrel ac-.
cording TO the age of the disputants, the
younger child always being forced to,
give up to the older. Children brought
up this way are likely to show hatred
for each other and prefer to play with
other children than with each other.
Often these family hatreds start iH
child life and continue until death, ami
are the direct result of maternal misman-
agement.
Children should be brought ND to oh
serve the laws of etiquette, not only in
society but at home.
The mother should set the example
and see that it is followed by the chill
