His Merits,

II is a society almost wholly without
snobbishness. Now aad then there be-
comes apparent struggle to enter IL
on the part of some one outside of 1t;
but. because access is 10 simple, the
fact that struggle is necessary nearly
always creates in itself perpetual dis
qualification. II Is n society exceed
ingly friendly to the newcomer very
ready to receive him on his owa
merits; II has no feeling of its own IN
security to make 1t snub him becauss
1t does not know who he WAS before he
came. And while the visitor will be
asked many questions about his ac-
quaintances in other cities, he will not
be asked II he has met ''the Rockmores
of Germantown" in order to discover
II he knows the right people" The
questions are put in a hopeful way,
with the hospitable wish TO find nu
tual friends OF whom to talk. and to
bring the visitor and native into closer
touch, says Harper's Magazine.

REGICIDES EXPLAINED.
The Assas~ins Of Crowned Heads Net
Anarehistu, Hut Degenerate
Poor, Says an Expert.

That wide-awake Roman journal.
L'Italie, sent a representative the
other day to Prof. Sergi, chief Of the
Anthropologica Institute in Rome, to
ask him why SO many Italians become
regicides, mentioning, OF course, Cas-
eric, Lucchesi, Angiolitto, Bresci and
Rubino. Here, says the New York sun,
is the answer OF Prof. Sergi:
Our emigrants go out in swarms
that become concentrated all the more
when they find themselves isolated in
q foreign country. But the unfortup-
ate isolated ones soon drop down into
the darkest misery. You know how
great the tendency to suicide is in
northern countries. The wrelched
feels that morbid influence and he
joins TO it the defects of his own inl
pulsive nature. While the man OF
the north in despair seeks an obscure
suicide, the meridianal, or southern
man, looks for a senAa ational suicide
Then you mean to call sensational
suicides, at least TO some extent. the
regicidal attempts Of desperate men?"
asked the correspondents.
"Yes." replied the professor, ION
condition that you add to the word
desperate the word degenerate
Place degenerate in the wretched
conditions in which Italians in for
eign countries find themselves SO Oft
en-, and you have before you an inda vid-
ual who dreams of finishing miser-
able life by a resounalng suicide
Take the cases of Caserlo in France,
Lucchesi in Switzerland, Bresci in Italy
and Rubino in Belgium"
"Then you do not believe in the an
archistic declarations which they all
make under similar circumstances?
Certainly not. The anarchists have
ideas, not impulses; and the regicides
that ! have mentioned are allcrealures
of impulse and solitary wretches.
Doubtless they have been more or less
influenced by socialistic and anar-
chistic publications, but with them
that influence is only secondary. The
true cause of their acts lies in their
degeneracy, accentuated
by the miserable physical conditions
OF their existence. For example, take
the first word Of Rnbino when he was
arrested: 4 Mhs 20 wretchedly poor
said he, etc. There is the complete
explanation of his act. The man Is an
impulsive degenerate. determined to
md his lite Of misery in a brilliant
fashion, according 10 his notion"

A prominent clergyman strongly
urges all young men who contemplate
entering the ministry to learn some
trade either before or after their
ordination. He has examined the star
tistics OF the various Protestant de-
nominations and has been appalled,
by the number of ministers who are
without charge. He thinks that II
every preacher should have trade
