The ViCerou and Tibet.

American inquiry into British pur-
poses respecting Tibet has brought to
light the thoroughly humorous fact
that the mission" which has caused
the English so much anxiety and dis
comflture, was undertaken as a sop
TO the pride Of Lord Curzon. the India
viceroy. Evidently there are times
when pride is an exceedingly expen-
sive luxury.
Not content with a vast wardrobe
OF brilliant uniforms. which he is per-
mitted 10 wear in token of his exalted
rank, the Kings representative in the
ancient land became greatly exer-
cised over the lack Of consideration
shown the representatives Of the In
dian government sent into Tibet. He
called upon the mother country for
vengeance, and Colonel Younghus-
band was ordered, rather half-heart-
eddy, it is believed. TO teach the Lama
and his half-wild subjects better
manners.
GfedJ bTlJaln frankly acknowledges
that if she can get the Tibetans to
yield any point as regards freedom of
trade and recognition of the British
representatives, she will gladly with
draw her forces. That she is sincere
is shown by the fact that Colonel
Younghusband makes no advance
without appealing to the Tibetans to
treat with him.
National prestige is a cumbrous
article when one has to tote II about
an inaccessible country $4,000 feet
above sea level. Not only is Great
Britain thoroughly convinced of this
by her experience, but she is also
reasonably satisfied that there will
be no successful Russian encroach-
ments in Tibet in the near future.

North and South.

An excellent reflection of the best
and most influential Northern senti-
ment toward the South is recorded in
Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
sons Phi Beta Kappa poem, read dur
ing the Harvard commencement II
was a plea for forgiveness of the
South and recognition by Harvard of
the claim of her Confederate alumni
to place in Memorial Hall.
The part of the North, which in the
course of time has come to recognize
that the South, too, had its con-
science in the dark days of '61-65,
may not do so much talking as the
foolish -personages who still cling to
the bloody shirt; but this less bois-
ferrous element nevertheless repre-
sents the true North Its feeling to-
ward the South is really very beauti-
full, and it Is a question if the South
as a whole appreciates how deep
seated and sincere it really is.
Memorial Hall at Harvard was built
as a monument to the men of the
University who died in the war be-
tween the States. When it was built,
it was regarded as a monument to the
Union dead. But times have changed
since then. The ideals of the North
and the South are the same today.
Their patriotism is the same. The
sole danger which confronts them lies
in misunderstanding each others
ideals and patriotism.
If Harvard, bearing witness to the
Northern desire not only 10 forgive,
but to forget. should see fit to adopt
Colonel HigginsOn's suggestion, its
action would be an unmistakable
token of the true Northern feeling.
II would be a further bond of union
! between North and South, and il
would be one more defense against
the only serious menace to mutual CO.
operation between the North and
South for the mutual good of both,
the peril Of misunderstanding engen-
dering suspicion and fostering dis
cord.

succinctly:

The tree and squirrel are inside the
circle described by the hunter, and
he would go round the squirrel pro

squirrel moves round the smaller
circle. as the hunter goes round the
larger one. and while the hunter
makes the circuit of the tree and
squirrel he does not circle the SPUR

experience of the country But most
women who have tried the expert
ment will admit that taking care OF
youngsters in a summer boarding
house, without the appliances and
freedom of home, is a Job scarcely
preferable to working at desk in a
city Office.
It is possible, of course, to be rea-
sonably comfortable in the city IN
the summer, and if people would
spend half the money on their city
homes that they do on vacation trips,
they would find the city house a fair
ly comfortable dwelling. The wise
hOusekeeper will let the fire go out
in the range end do as little cooking
as possible. She will take the family
on picnics now and then, instead OF
having a formal dinner, and she may
also leave the children with their
nurse or a convenient relative occa-
siOnally and take dinner somewhere
with paterfamilias. if he likes that
sort of thing.
But, as was said in the beginning,
this is a question which every house
hold must settle for itself, and a con-
scientious woman usually tries to
settle it with due respect to her hus-
bands rights as well as her own.
