Dignity of the Public House.

From the Illustrated London News.
1t is strange that the phrase public
house" should be SO lightly and mechan-
ically used that 1t Is actually possible to
utter 1t with an information Of contempt
1t expresses in one word all that is oldest
and soundest and most indestructible in
the idea of human society: the house where
every man Is master; the house where ev-
cry man is guest.

Hostility to the big department stores has broken out In Austria. A delega- tion of small shopkeepers from all parts of the empire visited Vienna to lay their grievances before Parliament. When the police attempted to interfere with them they rushed toward the Chamber of Duputies. and smashed the doors In their eagerness to get Inside. Most of our readers, even the oldest of them, have been familiar with the department store all their lives. The big store in the cities Is only an over grown country general merchandise store, where clothing and candy, blows and perfumes, groceries and grind stones, harness and haberdashery are sold over the same counter, to the great comfort and convenience of the GUS toners.

Millions for Defense.

1t is always a pity to destroy Il pretty phrase. particularly when so laudable a sentiment as patriotism is involved. You have all heard Millions for defense. but not one cent for trib- ute" for the phrase has been famous for a century. It Is attributed to Charles Cotesworth Pinckney. who rep resented the United States in France, in 1796. John Jay had made treaty with England that threatened to in- volve us in a war with France, and the Directory then governing France re- fused to receive Mir. Pinckney, lntimat- ing that the payment of certain sum might settle the dispute.
 Then it was, according to a popular story. that MT. Pinckney said Millions for defense, but not one cent for trib- ute." It Is said. however. that when he was asked about It afterward. he answered. My answer was not four ish like that. but simply, Not penny, not penny ,'"

Of'u, Not Often.

Perhaps your teacher has told you many times that there is little anal ogy In our language, and that, there fore. to be proficient h Its use, you must study 1t with ears and eyes both wide open. Particularly is the lack of analogy noticed in pronunciation. In some words, It is a serious offense to siur syllable: in others, to slur a syl- !able is the rule.
 Take the word "often" as an illustra- ton. Many persons, who wish to be exact, are careful to give the two sylla- bles each a distinct sound-of-ten-be- lieving. no doubt. that they thus show painstaklng regard for the proprie- ties of speech. But this is case where to slur is right, and not to slur Is wrong. The word Is pronounced ofn, the "t" being silent.

GOOD MANAGEMENT.


 The plantation was a good training school for the born business man, says John C. Reed, the author of '"The Brothers War" The successful planter allowed nothing slipshod or slovenly under h!s management. Practical men of extraordinary ability were bred by the conditions of plantation enterprise
 My maternal grandfather, writes MT. Reed, lived on his plantation of more than a thousand acres, which he man. aged without an overseer. His edu- cation had been so scant that he found It difficult to read the simplest Eng. fish, and to sign his name was the only writing I ever knew him to do. But his plantation management was the ad- miratlon of all his neighbors.
 His land was sandy and thin, yet he made It yield more than ample SUD- port for his numerous family, his rap idly increasing force of negroes, his blooded horses, his unusually large number of hogs, COWS, sheep and goats, and a fair quantity of cotton besides.
 Dt SldNts llhtu sNttl DDldtOto than any other food, and they were favorite food at the Big House" His supplies never failed. There were some unopened banks or hills when the new potatoes came.
 Ills fine horses required so much corn, and so much more of 1t was need ed for bread, that he could not feed 1t lavishly to his hogs So he deyel- oped a succession of peach orchards, with which he commenced their fatten- Ing In the summer. They were four in all The first one ripened In July and the last one late In October. The fruit in any particular one ripened at the same time, and he cared not how many different varieties there were. When ever he tasted peaches away from home that he liked, if they were not from grafter trees, he would carry away the seed, and there was particular drawer labeled with the date, Into which they were put.
 Whenever he had need to plant a tree the fruit of which was desired at that particular time of the year, the seed was planted where he wanted the tree. He was always replanting In place of injured trees and those he had found to be inferior.
 The "fattening" hogs, that Is, those to be next killed for meat. were turned into the July orchard just as soon as the peaches commenced to fall; and they went on through the rest of the series. After peachtIme these hogs ran upon the peas, which were now ripe !R the cornfields, after the ccrn had been gathered.

OCEAN LIFE HAS CHANGED.
But the old Romance of the Sea Is
 Not Dead.

Not Dead.
 While slowly ate my dinner in the magnificent saloon of the great liner America and looked about at the jolly little parties of two and four and six, at the daintily clad women and the severely clad men, and at the freshly cut flowers and the sparkling cut glass, and while 1 listened to the low-voiced laughter and talk and to the music of the gay little relocated orchestra 1t seemed very much as if I had strolled over from Piccadilly circus to Pail Mall of cold, foggy evening and had turn. ed In at the Carlton Hotel. I grew sober as thought about it.
 We did these things very differently little while back. Even a very little while back-as the history of human kind runs-life at sea meant more, for 1t seemed to bring a man nearer to h God than we of to-day very often get. ''Is this true" I asked myself, that they have destroyed the charm of the sea? Is the fine old salty romance dead and buried?"
 Standing that night looking out over the waves toward a handful of low lying stars, knew that the romance of the sea is an undying thing. What we have lost is no more than our old mo- tion of 1t. The Spanish galleon has gone out with the rapier and the dag ger. We no longer, the boys among us, haunt the wharves for glimpses of Spanish sailors with bearded lips.
 The six-shooter is not what 1t was and the tall clipper ship has followed the stage coach Into the junkyard of the things that were But the new TO- nance runs deeper. It Is more con- plex. It is the wonderful story of the awakening, the rousing and the stirring to action of drowsy old world which has only begun to find itself and to feel its magnificent strength.-Success Mag aZine.
