AIr. Carnegle's Praise
.s Poverty.

According to Mr.. Carnegie,
''there is nothing SO valuable as
to be born in poverty and TO Be
compelled to 60 forth and battle
for yourself" Many will applaud
the saying. But is it trnei
The poor have no monopoly Of
virtue or Of intelligence. Ex-
treme poverty beseiges the one
and duIls the other. It is easy to
say that the vapid and vicious
young man Of fortune would have
been a decent fellow II born to
poverty, but it is hard to prove.
With his temperament he might
still have been q burden upon 80
ciety.
The man Of unusual talent or
genius il born in poverty does
sometimes escape from his disad-
vantages to do great work. But
the exceptional man OF inherited
wealth also conquers his environ
ment and attacks his task with the
energy Of educated ambition. 20.
ologists will tell Mr.. Carnegie that
1t il not struggle that develops
races and species, but the favor
ing environment that permits them
to struggle successfully. We're it
otherwise the Esquimaux would be
the "Superman." "

self-made man golden years are

that Schliemann must make his
fortune before spending 1t in I'M

GreeceG Or Cecil Rhodes that he
must use his best years in making
money and die at the threshold OF

sell that he was not free to con-

than those Of moneymaking until
his active years had passed.

Of such views az q ''tirst step to-
ward anarchy. But DR.. Hirsch,
the eminent Jewish educator, aus
tains Mr.. Neumeister on ethical
grounds.
Thelprinciple that theft must
be-invariably punished, at least SO
far as the inry is concerned, Ieav-
ing the question Of clemency to
the court, is indiSputable In the
abstract. But to put its practice
on an impregnable basis courts
should take great care that the
punishment is invariable in the
the case Of great as well as small
thefts. So long as the powerful
can absorb millions by devious
means and go unpublished, the
rigid punishment Of q poor wretch
who steals food for his starving
children is q longer step toward
anarchy than Mr.. NeumeietOr'G
heresy.
Still, considering the duty to
which he was summoned, that at.

function OF the trial itself to deter

Less Trouble Over Desertions.

Profiting by long experience, the
War department has made some
changes in its method of recruiting
soldiers for the regular army. It has
been found that much the greater
percentage of deserters consisted of
quite young recruits, who soon dis
cover that the regular service is not
what they imagined and take French
leave on the first opportunity. In
view of the numerous courtsmartial
thus required, and the severe penal
ties for desertion, the new recruits
are now drilled for several weeks, WITH
out giving them uniforms or requiring
them to take the oath. If they run
away in the meantime they are not
sought after and new recruits take
their places. The army is thus saved
the trouble of trying numerous desert
ers by courtmartial.- Philadelphia

Indifference Of Parents.

One important reason for children
dropping out of school, especially in
the lower grades, is the lack of in
terest by the parents in the education
of the child. There are large num-
ber of parents who seem to have lit
tie conception of the value of an edu-
cation. Not often is the child taken
out of school and put to work at
once. The process is, for the parent to
keep the child out a few days or a
few weeks at time to "help with
the work." OF course the child falls
behind the class and gets discouraged,
and expresses desire to leave school.
Frequently the excuse is, Il don't like
the teacher" The real cause is the
disinterested parent. -

New Swiss Electric Plant,

Switzerland is soon to undertake a
unique enterprise in The construction
OF an enormous reservoir by damming
the river Sihl in the canton of
Schwytz, making an artificial lake
which will occupy a whole valley and
contain 96,000,0O0 cubic meters of wa
ter for the alimentation of powerful
hydro-electric installation destined
chiefly for the electric traction on
the railroad. By the construction of
a wall 78 feet high and 300 feet long
difference CT level of 4SO meters will
be obtained between this basis and
the lake of Zurich, into which the
water will flow by means of tunnel.
This will produce a force of $4,000
horse Iower during twenty-four
hours, or 10000 during eleven hours.
A contract las been signed by the
government of Schwytz and that of
Zurich, the work to be commenced
this spring.

Disappearing Window Sashes.

The modern window sash with it's
large panes Of glass does not obstruct
the view very much when opened, as
it did in the old days, when the glass
manufacturers only knew how to make
then in vogue, but nevertheless the
open door, in summer, is always more
inviting than the open window. OF
course, the double sash window, as
commonly designed, only admits of be-
ing half opened, that is, it may be put
either up or down, but affords an
opening but half the size of the frame.
The illustration shows a new concep-
tion in window architecture, in which
the sashes disappear entirely at will.

THE MAN AND THE DOLLAR.

up colossal fortunes through the de.
yelopment of the enormous natural
advantages G this wonderful country
Ir. such a period of industrialism sue
cess is apt to be measured by indi-
vidual wealth or earning capacity. But
we shall come more and more to un-
derstand and appreciate the true stand
ard, to estimate men, not in dollars
and cents, but according to their real
worth. The worlds greatest benefac-
tors have been men who lived and died
poor in material wealth. The scholar
the patriot, the statesman, the artist,
the scientist. the teacher, the moral
eyemplar, these in the greatness of
their work make the mere money
grubber seem meanly small. There
is too much worship of wealth, but it
is not universal-Nashville Tenn

PSYCHIC INFLUENCE in BATTLE.
It Cost kouropatkin a Victory at Lao.

It Cost Kouropatkin Victory at Lao
yang and Yen-Tai.
Kouropatkin cannot be pronounced
free of all blame, says a writer in the
London Standard, in spite of the yari-
GUS manifestations of incapacity on
the part of those occupying his COM
mands, and in spite of the fatal inter-
ferences by the viceroy in his plan Of
campaign.
The passive defense continually
maintained long after it was neces-
sary, the termination of every encoun-
ter before decision had been arrived
at, and the interminable retreats
caused thereby, could only damp the
enthusiasm of the army.
The weak point in Kouropatkin's S
conduct, for which in other respects
good military reasons can be assigned,
must be sought in his attaching too
light weight to moral considerations
and in disregarding the reaction which
the slow but constant advance of the
Japanese produced among his troops
and followers.
Finally, the disdain of the imponder-
ables of immeasurable psychical influ-
ences avenged itself on the comman-
der:in-chief himself by drawing him
down into the whirlpool of the army's
shaken confidence. At the decisive
moments on the blood-sodden battle
fields of Liaoyang and Yentai his COM
posure deserted him and when only
requiring to stretch out his hand to
gain the laurels he yielded them to his
opponent.
It was only during the nine days.
battle between Mukden and Liaoyang
that Gen. Kouropatkin regained his
lost confidence, and it was only due to
his undying resistance during that Pc
riod that the Russian army was en-
abled TO maintain it's positions and
even to gain fresh footing.

of this main artery of the life and
commerce of Egypt the average an
nual rainfall is fifty inches, but be-
fore reaching the W.ite Nile 20 per
cent has disappeared, while only one
thirtieth of the original flow passes

the surface exposed, and fer this rea-
son Sir William maintains any plan
diminishing the width of the Nile will
prove beneficial.
