Good Music . Character builder.

Good music is a powerful tonic to
many people, especially those suffer

out Of their solemn moods, dispels
gloom and dependency, kills discour-
aged feelings, and gives new hope, new
life, and new vigor. 1t seems to put
great many people into proper tune.
1t gives them the keynote of truth and
beauty, strikes the chords of harmony,
dlspels discord from the life, scatters
clouds and brings sunshine.
All good music is character build.

the voice called to the Judgment afar

Rawson had been In New York a
fortnight wien he read the account of
the accident and the list of killed.
Wondering If by any chance death had
laid the secret bare, he wired to Jasper
his message Of sympathy.
"Please accept all regrets for terri
BILE news!" And he meant what he
said.

pierce him through and through. Then,

EDUCATION OF THE UNFIT.
Too Much Attempted in the Present
- Scheme of Learnfnu.


The education of the unfit is another
problem which has come up to bother
our pedagogues and it is one which is
bound up also in the great problem Of
underfeeding, says American Medicine.
There are so many men writing on this
topic us to give the impression that we
are attempting too much in our extern
siye educational schemes. 1t is now
known that every brain has limit be.
You'd which it cannot be educated-a
law as applicable to types of men as to
types Of dogs. Children, naturally,
drop out of school ut certain grades
and those who are, continued beyond
their proper limit are merely injured
thereby. Many splendid mechanic
has thus been educated into poor
preacher who half staryes the rest OF
his life.
1t is now even limited that many Of
our new types of immigrants are mere
hewers of wood and drawers of water
as their ancestors have been from time
Immemorial, and that any education
merely units them for the battle of life.
IL all these surmises are true they are
bound to shake the very foundation OF
our present order Of things.
The theory that there are minds now
migrating to our shores which cannot
possibly be; trained into condition fit
for citizenship will naturally be re
scented by those who have built up our
I5present school system to train men to
equality. Yet 1t is time to stop and
think a little.
Every autumn the papers of the
lIarger cities IRE much concerned over
the inadequate school facilities and
publish dreadful statistics of the thou.
sands of pupils who must be placed on
half-tlme, yet 1t has long been known
that in London schools the half-tImers
who work half of each day really
progress faster than those who go tC
school all day.
| Have we not upset nature too quick
~ in our schools also? The mothers
who cannot care for their children send

Uncle Joe Cannon Is having all he
can do to hold the Republican colts Of, I.
the House of Representatives and pre-
vent them from kicking over the traces.
On the other hand the Democrats are
working together for the good Of the
whole country and the benefit OF. a
united and victorious Democracy.
To a layman the idlosyncracies OF the 4
law leave some sense Of bewilderment.
for no sooner has the Supreme Court
decided that trust officials must answer
all questions put to them, than the
trial court in the Beef Trust case de-
cides that trust magnates cannot be
convicted on the evidence they have
given in m investigation. ~
Attorney General Moody has ne.
quested an investigating committee Of
the Mississippi legislature to furnish
him all the evidence 1t has collected
against the lumber trust in that State.
In view Of the outcome of the sparring
match of Brother Moody against the
Beef Trust, he probably thinks 1t wiser
to hit n trust of his own size.
The tariff question will never down
until it is settled to the. advantage OF
the American people instead Of as now
for the benefit of trusts and corpora
lions. 1t was President Garfield, who.
was tariff reformer, that said: "Un-
settled questions have no pity for the;
lrepose of nations" and II he were alive
today, he would doubtless add, "or for
those Republicans who for selfish and
sordid reasons IRE stand-patters." +
