MEN AND WOMEN"

Within the last quarter of century there has grown up fashion. especially noticeable in the sermons of the day, of coupling together men" and women" in general statements relating to adult
 persons or the human race. It seems to be forgotten that the word imam
 has the double meaning of human be- ing and of male human being" and to be thought that if linen" alone are addressed or spoken of the women will think themselves to be overlooked. If this usage goes on we may soon come to the point when it will not do to say, Men are social beings" or All men are mortaI' but, in order to be explict, must say, "Men and women are social beings" ''AII men and women are mortal" etc. But though it may be a misfortune that we have no one word, like the Latin homo, to denote human being, as distinguished from one of the 'man" has the generic as well as man male sex, yet the fact remains that man has the generic as we'll as the specific meaning, and that it is quite unnecessary in public discourse or elsewhere to talk about ''men and women.' except when it is desired to draw special attention to the distinc- tion of sex. Paul tells us that in Christ there is neither male nor female; and certainly there is ordinarily no occasion for protruding the sex distinc- tion in religious discourses. I have taken pains to inquire of several ladies how they feel about the matter, and have yet to find one who does not re-. gard the phrase nfquestion as needless, in bad taste, or even offensive.
 The objectionableness of the fashion may be illustrated by referring to parallel cases among the brutes. In some cases we have three terms for members of brute species-one to de- signate the species in general, another for the male and another for the female sex. Examples of this are horse !" sheep and "hogr each of which terms is generic, never designating one sex as distinguished from another. there being two other words used for that purpose. Tn other cases, however, precisely as in the case of man." one word has to serve the double purpose of denoting the whole species, and one of the sexes-sometimes the male, sone-

CHICAGO NOT GLASGOW.

Municipal ownership of public util- ities hath as sonorous a sound as ever, but it isn't getting the boom in Chicago it was going to get. "I came to this country believer in public ownership" 7" says James Dalrymple, the Glasgow street railroad expert called in by May or Dunne of Chicago. What I have seen here, and I have studied the situ- ation carefully, makes me realize that private ownership under proper condi- tions is far better for the citizens of American cities" He is of the opinion that, Eff Chicago could do as Glasgow ilas done," there is an opportunity for a magnificent street railroad system" in Chicago, which means that the phy- sical conditions are all right, but that the state of mind in Chicago in regard to public office and public undertakings of all kinds leaves good deal to be desired. "The peculiarity which has impressed me most strongly in this country" MT. Dalrymple declares, lis the complacency with which the Amer ican people allow their public officials to be tipped out of office every two years or so.'
 MT. Dalrymple points out that the corporation of Glasgow has a long ex- perience in the management of large undertakings, 'as believe the corpor- ation carries on more public utilities than almost any other municipality in the world. You can quite understand, therefore, that it was a comparatively small matter, with the long experience, to start what was then small street railway system. also would point out that the city council consists of seven- ty-seven members, twenty-five of whom comprise what is known as the tramways committee. Under this com mittee is placed a general manager, who is permanent official, and does not change because of any change in the members of the city council or in this committee. Indeed, such thing is quite unknown as the change of the head of department on account of the change of the government. The muni- cipality of Glasgow carries on all it's public utilities on strictly sound com- mercial basis, and I believe that is the principal reason of the success which has attended all its efforts in this di- rection.'
 MT. Dalrymple will find that he can not gather Glasgow figs from Chicago missiles.

The latest announcement in regard to the prosecution of the officials of the beef companies at Chicago is that in stead of indieting thirty to thirty-five men, as 1t was earnestly sought by the government agents to do, not more than a dozen names would be included in the list to be submitted to the grand jury at Chicago, and 1t is doubtful of the government has any case against even that small number.

A missionary travelling down the Lau river in Mongolia says he passed thirty-one rapids in one day. At most Of them were water mills for the grind ing of aromatic trees into powder to make incense. The trees are chopped into small pieces and thrown into a hole in a heavy millstone, which re- wolves on a. larger stone as the water rushes through below. In the rainy season, when the river flows full and fast, a pair of mills can grind 200 cat ties {266 pounds) of incense a day. It is made up into bundles of this weight and sold on the spot for fifty strings of cash (about $6).

The present year is likely to be re- nlafkable for the number of it's vol- canic disturbances, not only on land. but in different parts of the deep sea. Vast tidal waves have been reported from different quarters of the globe. and the recent terrible earthquake in northern India has now been followed by a startling marine phenomenon in the Indian ocean. Captain Belton, of the British steamship City of Dundee, which arrived recently at Kurrachee. reported that while he was almost a hundred miles off the port the surface of the ocean was illuminated for some time in all directions by mysterious Flashes, which proceeded apparently out of the water, and for which he was quite unable to account. He was so bewildered and amazed that he stopped his ship until he could make sure of his position, not knowing into what strange regions he might have wan dered. About the same time the sea- coast around Kurrachee was covered by vast shoals of dead fish, hundreds of tons, which had to be removed to pre- vent pestilence.

NEW YORK. May 22.-The tone of
speculative sentiment underwent an
abrupt transition during the course of
todays trading in stocks. Defined ru-
mors of a financial institution in trou-
BILE were circulated late in the day.
The influence on feeling OF the vi
olent break in prices in the latter part
of the day was the more effective on
account of, the strength shown during
the morning. Last weeks heavy
liduidation and the apparent renewal
of it in the closing hours Of Saturday
left the expectation of very heavy SELL
ing to be faced.
The good resistance offered by the
market this morning therefore came
as a surprise and the professional
traders were inclined to hasten to
make commitments on the long side
of the market. The receipt of con-
siderable buying orders from London
gave an impression also of revived
confidence in our securities on that
side of the ocean. There was no news
to account for the sudden accession of
selling power in the market, the Or
ders to sell appearing simultaneously
in many quarters and from an un-
known origin. The market had come
practically to a standstill before they
appeared and this had a discouraging ng
effect on those hopeful for a further
advance. .
The upward movement gave impress
sion of having been fostered for the
purpose of affording a better basis for
further liquidation and the suspicion
got abroad that large and important
interests were getting out of their
holdings of some of the most important
stocks in the market.
The abrupt drop in Northern Pacific
was of special influence on sentiment.
1t is now believed that the formation
last week of the Northern Pacific di-
rectorate may be accepted as the def
mite conclusion of any harmony plans
that may have been in contemplation
and any accompanying hopes of the
high values to be developed in all
Northweste IN stocks by a compre-
hensive plan to conserve all interests.
There is q disposition to account for
the persistent and determined liquida-
tion as being due largely to the re-
tirement of holdings acquired at one
or another stage of the attempted set
tlement in the Northwestern.
Another sentiment influence was the
weakness of United States Steel stocks.
Reassuring assertions from authorities
in the trade of the slight Importance
to be attached to the present lull in
that trade are of little effect on senti-
nent in the face of the practical weak
ness of these stocks in the market and
the prevalence of the doubts of the
stability of the iron and steel trade
bringing into question the whole busi-
ness outlook.
Railroad traffic officials admitted
some unexpected falling off in business
on account of crop uncertainties and
the strength of wheat today on the
weather in the southwest augmented
this influence.
Some of the weakness of special
stocks was attributed to the renewed
campaign by advertising methods in
favor of selling stocks
There was the usual short covering
on the days decline, but pressure was
renewed and the closing was easy.
Bonds We're weak. Total sales, par
value, $4,000
United States bonds were all nm
changed on call.
