Hoy Do You Wear Ite

Religion? Yes? Every Sunday you, In certain church and a certain pew, With a solemn face and with earnest
 eyes And you think great thoughts while the
 anthems roll. And you feel grace in your inward
 soul. Religion? Yes? Is it something that Goes with long frock coat and with
 high silk hat2 On the six week days is your conscience
 mute? Do you put it on with your Sunday
 suit? Of course one knows that on Sabbath
 day He must put the wiles of the world
 away, And must view all folk with kindly
 scan, And must hays some thought of his
 brother man For the stores are closed and the banks
 are shut; It is through the week the coupons are
 cut: It Is through the week that we grub for And the man who works has to think But religion? An, when the day is Do you put 1t on with your Sunday

 hook, From sheltered place in quiet nook2 Do you keep it nice, while the week
 goes through, Till on Sunday morn it looks neat and And no oSo one who sees you would ever
 guess You would wear such garb to your
 business? Has it neither wrinkle nor speck of

THEY WANT THE MONET.

The French Society of Authors and Composers is under discussion in Paris. Attention was directed to the subject by the lawsuit brought by the great nephew of Donizetti to recover royal ties, which had been paid to the socie- ty, for performances of the composers works. Most persons were astonished to discover that the society claimed the right of exacting copyright fees in the case of a composition whose author had been dead for fifty years. They learned for the first time that they had to pay just as much to hear old operas and old plays as to hear new operas and new plays, not because the author wished to gain a living, or because the wished to provide for the

given attractive shape, as simple or as ornate as desired, and perhaps fash toned after some standard design, as street signs are. Or, where a street bears the name of person of note, the tablet might include medallion por- trait in low relief. The thoroughfare itself would thereby more fully serve the function of commemorative mo- nument. Inscriptions might at firsg be affixed in temporary shape, gradu- ally to be reproduced in broze, perhaps a certain number each year. Such a work would add greatly to the interest of a place. Particularly in the older parts of the country, as in New-Eng- land. the historic character of which attracts tourists from other parts of the country in increasing numbers every year, it would be a remunerative out lay for a community to undertake the as completely as possible.-Century Magazine.

THE COMMERCIAL EDEN.

Alexander the Great conquered every Kingdom in sight, and then, unless his- tory prevaricates, thinking his domin- ion covered all the world, he wept be- cause there were no other worlds to conquer. It looks as though, in an in- dustrial way, the United States is go- ing to face a similar embarrassing sit-
 uation. It may be a good way off, but we are approaching it very rapidly. As a matter of fact our export trade has gone on growing since the close of the Rebellion forty years ago, with

PRESIDENT mE11EN,s REMARKS.

There has been a good deal of talk in this free country to the effect that ttle railroads ought to be regulated Some attempts to regulate them have been made. How honest and intelligent those attempts have been nobody fully knows but they have at times been un- der suspicion. How much or in what ways railroads need regulating perhaps nobody yet fully knows. So the chances that they will get regulated very wisely right off are not brilliant. That is a very sharp and courageous attack made by President Mellen on the latest at tempt to regulate them. The Hepburn bill seems to him so very bad that it causes him to speculate whether it may not have been cunningly devised by someone opposed to all legislation. So utterly subversive is it of all princi- pies of justice, so utterly regardless is it of all warrant in constitutionality, so arbitrary and autocratic is it in it's provisions regarding unimportant mat ters, that it may well be it was the de- sign to cause disgust, distrust and an- tagonism among all right thinking and fair minded men"
 President Mellen is certain that the Hepburn bill is not needed, and he is not certain that any more law is need ed, He thinks that if the present laws were diligently and sincerely enforced we could get along for awhile at least, and he is probably right about that. His remarks are well worth the atten- tion they will get, and they are so strong, discerning and timely that they may have a powerful effect on the sit uation.

Giye the small nor n show.

To the Editor of Journal and Courier:
 I agree with TX, " writing in the Reg ister Monday evening, the small boy should not be allowed to disturb these altruistic meetings in Woolsey Hall. It might be well, however, to inquire from some of the boys whether they enjoyed the talk and what they thought of the speakers. Their opinion would be interesting and it might save going to the bother of appointing any Board of Control to control them.

The Lobster Crop.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier: The report from the Maine and Mas sachusetts coasts is that the lobster crop is larger this year than it has been for several years. This means a great deal to New England, for the people of New York, the great financial center, D are very fond of Holsters, and conse- quently will let loose a few of their wicked dollars up this way,
 But the price of brolled live Holsters will still be high and it is doubtful if unambitious clergymen will be able to eat them.

The mosquito must go. Consul Gen. eral Guenther, at Frankfort, writes that the director of the Breslau Hygienic h. stitute has announced the results of his mosquito war experiments. The first object was to destroy egg bearing fe- males, which were found in large num- bers in Breslau cellars. Fumigation was used, and the number falling on the papers placed on the floors often ran up to more than two thousand mosquitoes. For destroying the larvae in pools of water fifty grains of "lavri- eide" was put into a cubic metre of wa ter and poured into the pool This kills all the larvae within half an hour, but does not harm frogs and fish. To de- stroy the pupae is another question

Frank Merkel, saloonkeeper in Pitts burg, Pennsylvania, has just died. He had been in the business for twenty-five -years and is believed to have made sev- eral hundred thousand dollars in it. He was a devout Roman Catholic, taking his religion seriously, running the sa- loon conscientiously, closing it tight shut on all legal holidays, selling no liquor to drunken men, permitting no customer to fuddle himself on the premises, and tolerating no loud talk there. In the quarter-century there was never a fight in Merkel's saloon and never a single renonstrance against the renewal of his license.

The Kentucky legislature has voted an appropriation to be used in erecting at Hodgenville, the Larue county seat, a tablet to commemorate the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The incident reminds the Chicago Tribune that there was al- ways "a large element of truth in Hen " Watterson's declaration that Lincoln was southerner and that all his tribe were southerners, and that though he left Kentucky when he was a child he yet was an old child, and even in leav- ing the soil of Kentucky he did not get away from Kentucky because Indiana and Illinois in those early days, before the northern counties developed in wealth and population with such tre- mendous rapidity, were dominated by emigrants from Kentucky and perme- ated with the ideas for which the Ken tuckian stood"
