The late Marquis of Butte adopted q
novel method of commemorating his
silver wedding. He placed in the
hands of the town council OF Cardiff
the sum of one thousand pounds, and
directed that the income of the fund
should be presented annually as q
bridal dowry TO some girl of the poorer
class In Cardiff, whose marriage was
hindered by lack of means. At the
recent presentation in the town hall the
Mayor presided, and after the wedding
read to the newly married couple
eleven verses of the second chapter of
Saint Johns Gospel as the condition of
the dowry required. Besides the
money, the bride also received a Bible
from the Mayoress.

In his Harvard address, PRESIDENT
Roosevelt touched on many topics III
his masterful Emperor William style
and said nothing that would not meet
was general approval. But the points
which will sink deepest into the hearts
Of the American people are those
touching the accumulation and dis
pensing Of wealth. And this for the
reason that in the last few months the
subject has been debated and acted
upon as never before. It Is little sin
gular that on the same day there spoke
other voices which were In unison and
need to be needed. The trustees Of the
majority Of the Equitable life tnsllr-
ance stock, headed by Grover Cleve-
land, made a report which was brief,
but In some respects more funda-
mental than the detailed accounts of
official misdeeds from other sources,
Whatever may be thought Of Mr..
Cleveland In politics, there is no ques-
ton as to his rugged honesty and de-
termina ton. When the trustees ex-
pected from him a salve he gave them
q
to the policy-holders that the dereltc-
lions had been so great as to nearly
send the association on the rocks, and
that only retrenchment and reform
would remedy the evil. On the same
day, James B. Dill, most eminent Of all
American corporation lawyers, who
drew most all Of the charters Of the
so-called trusts in the country, as
sailed the corporate greed of the coun-
try In way that must have made
some of his former clients stand
aghast He knew the mendacity and
corruption whereof he spoke and can
not be called an anarchist-socialtst, F"
a favorite term applied to all who say
anything at all about the way wealth
is acquired. He knows the inner Sc
crets Of these men, and If their hearts
fail them for fear, it is with good rea-
son. When, therefore, the president
declared that there was need that
wealth should be less quickly acquired
| and that it was much better for man
to acquire honestly than to spend some
Of his surplus in charity, he said what
every righteous man believes to be the
truth. We have no quarrel with
wealth nor with rich men who have
honestly acquired great fortunes. We
do quarrel with those who by injus-
tice, corruption, violation Of the law,
oppression and robbery cheat the many
to get fortunes they cannot use. We
quarrel with those who have used the
public franchises and the public
wealth to enrich themselves without
proper compensation. We quarrel with
| those who have issued lying promises
to allure public investment and then
have stolen it by means more des-
picable than highway robbery. We
think the presidents sermon will long
last as a beacon light In our ethical
and political history and hope that 1t
| will be acted on by the great body Of
the American people, who are upright
and desire to fnjure no man.

Tea, coffee and cocoa, according to
an annual compilation Of the American
Grocer. cost the people of the United
States, on an average, two dollars and
seventy cents last year. Alcoholic
drinks cost more than five times as
much. All such figures, on per
because they are spread over SO many
persons who are not participants at all.
This lowers the average. How much
does tea cost the average tea-drinker
by comparison with the whisky of its
average consumer? 1t would be still
more interesting to know that.

AN ANCHORAGE OF ENGLISH.

According to the eighty-ninth an
nual report of the American Bible
Society there is no falling off in the
demand for that most popular of
books. Last year the society issued
1881 ,O96 bibles and tetaments. Since
its organization it has issued 1922.
TO copies of the bible-almost as
many as there are men, women and
children in the United States.
The old bible house in Astor Place
is the site from which this stream of
bibles is constantly flowing. They
are printed in all sizes and styles and
at all prices. There are bibles with
raised letters for the blind and bibles
in all known languages.
Considered only as book. aside
from its religious value. the bible is
a masterpiece. It's English has form
ed the style of many speakers and
writer's whose simplicity of express
ion was due to its simple phrases and
clearness of thought. The revised
versions have had in comparison
little vogue. A quotation from the
bible is usually made in English from
the old version. The bible phra ses

AMERICAN HISTORY,

thirty years ago a boy could enter

graduate with the highest honors
without knowing the existence of the
Declaration of Independence or when
the constitution of the United States
was framed. What was true OF Har-
ward was true of other universities
and colleges. American history was
not included in the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering col
lege were required to know something
of the history of Greece and Rome.
but not of their own country. During
the four years of the college course
they had opportunity to study the his
tory of England and Europe, Bat never
to learn aught of the United States.
This condition of education was mere
ly an indication of an attitude of
mind then passing away, but which
had once been predominant The usual
opinions seem to have been during
the first half of the nineteenth cen
tury that there was no American his
tory worth telling apart from the ad-
ventures of the earliest settlements
and the events of the revolution,
which were both connected so closely
with the history of Europe that they
