Domestic Tragedy.

They were all to have Sun
day night supper at a friends
house, and even the boarding
mistress was invited; so the girl
got an extra Sunday night out
and the household split up into
parties for the afternoon.
BY twos and three they arriv-
ed at the hosts home until
there were left only the board
ing mistress and TIE husband Of
the woman who had engineer
ed the party. There was a
quarter hour wait, and at last
the husband strolled in.
Miss Blank says she can't
come," be announ ced, as he
shifted the odor of the old fash
Toned shortcake. Il guess she
must have another of her sick
headaches for she seems to
have gone TO bed; just poked
her head out of the doorway
and said she was sorry"
Late that evening the other
woman took home a generous
slice of shortcake and found
the absent one sitting disconso-
late in the parlor,
II thought you were Zip" she
cried. "Will said you had gone
to bed"

The immense amount Of money Civ
en- during the last ten years for widely
different objects finds no parallel in
history. 1t Is true large sums of mon
ey In times past have been given to
the church, and during the middle ages
what was given to the church includ-
ed education, libraries and charities as
we'll as religion, but there was nothing
like the lavish outpouring of money
there has been of late, especially In
America. Libraries and universities
have come In for so large a share of
these gifts that the most remote ham
let is likely to be provided with all
the reading one can desire, while uni
versity privileges reach out to all who
are willing to seize them. What turn
will this fad for giving take next?
The good impulse Is evidently destined
to continue and to find new channels
Education is all right but even the
capacity to learn has Its limits, and
there are other needs in life besides
brain culture. Scientific investigation
ought to come in for large share of
benefit in the future. Each new dis
covery and invention opens the way
for demand for others. Much as has
been accomplished of late by way Of
scientific research, the field is endless
and at present demands large sums Of
money. There can be no greater boon
to humanity than further success in
the fields opened by Koch, Finsen,
Ramsay, Becquerel, the Curries and
others, but these interests cannot be
pursued by scientists to any great ex-
tent unless means are generously pro-
vided. 1t is not the part of republi-
can government to foster experiments
or provide means for other than imme-
diate demands, but it Is the privilege
of those gifted with the facility for
money-making or on whom fortune
has bestowed her favors to advance
these interests by generous donations.
1t is something to find and conquer
new worlds in science, but to be the
patron of these discoverers, to be the
one to enable them to accomplish the
deed is scarcely less honor than is his
who has the genius for doing it. While
the fad for giving is on let the scein-
lists have their share of the funds.

came back from one of the most terri

Such fighting as this is disheartening
