HeIpino People to SeIf-Heip.

In America we are just learning that the greatest gift you can give a blind man is the ability to earn his own living. Denmark extends that boon to the halt and maimed as well as to the blind. A workman crippled in a Danish factory knows precisely what to do. He goes to the school for disabled workers and learns to sup port himself without the lost arm or leg or finger, as the case may be. The school has made an exhaustive study of trade chances for crippled folk. It provides tools, food, medicine and free orthopedic treatment for its unfortu- nate pupils, buys their work as soon
 it is saleable, and once they know a trade finds them positions. Here, says Mary Bronson Hartt in the World s Work, is a prophecy for the future extension of the American movement for the industrial independence of the blind.

we are in the presence of the dea' But not all the associations of this day are sad; some of them are tri umphant, even joyful.
 We seem to hear the funeral march become a pean. Our heroic dead still live for us, and bid us think of life, not death-of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and glory of the spring.
 Memorial day may and ought to have meaning beyond mere honor to the dead. It celebrates and solemnly re-affirms from year to year national act of enthusiasm and faith. It em- bodies in the most impressive form our belief that to act with enthusiasm and faith is the condition of acting greatly.
 Peace calls for its patriotic devo tion, no less than war. And, stripped of the direct associations which gave rise to it, this is day when by com mon consent we pause to become con- scious of our national honor and to re- joice in it, to recall what our country has done and is doing for us, and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country in return.

The thousands of ex-union officers and soldiers who have died during the 3S years since the first Decoration day, and the hundreds that have fall en since the Spanish-American war, and whose bodies have been borne across the sea to be buried in Arling- ton, have made this the largest city of patriotic dead on the globe. This 30th of May, like all others, will see every low green mound of the extensive field covered with flowers and immortelles. There will be a repetition of the an- nual ceremonies, with probably addi. tional interesting features.
 The patriotic organizations. sons and daughters of veterans, and the loyal people have taken up the work which older hands have had to lay down. The spirit of gratitude and de votion to the memory of the countrys defenders inspires the whole nation to-day as it did in 1868.

Peace.

Making peace with an ax is dimin- lshing in popularity among modern rulers. With the ancients, however, the above means seemed to be the only kind that really counted. Caesar, after laying waste a Gaelic province, reported in his gentlemanly Latin: The barbarians are pacified.' It is related that Gothic ruler once be- came converted to the Christian faith. After mourning for some weeks over the blindness of his people he called general conference of his chiefs. At his right hand stood a missionary, at his left hand a gigantic eXecutioner, who held a broadax suggestively rest ing on the block. Friends said the king, T have brought you here this morning in order to teach you the great truths of Christianity" Reli. gious enlightenment came easy in that state. These events occurred before the principles of arbitration were un- derstoOd. The aim of our modern peace conference, says Golfers Week ly, is to teach the spirit of tranquility to the individuals who form the units of the nation. The number is increas- ing of those who have the most de6- nite and conclusive reasons for be- lieving that righteousness and peace should go hand in hand. The world needs peace. There is plenty of room

M. T. Oblaski writes in the Revue Scientifique concerning the North American Indians, particularly those of Canada. He is pessimistic as to their future. He notices two princi. pal types of red men. One comes from the regions of the Pacific, is of small stature, slender limbed, fond of the water, non-aggressive, and indo. lent. The other is taller, stronger, has more prominent features, abides by the land, is gay, and fond of hunt, ing. He finds the Canadian Indian much more civilized than the Indian of the United States. But, from 8 Darwinian point of view, he foresees the ultimate disappearance of these aborigines. Among them there is nc struggle for existence; for they are housed, fed and educated by the gov. ernment; and for this reason natural selection has been interfered with
 The evils of civilization have taken hold of them, and will destroy them.

When the Paris cab drivers attempt ed to make it impossible for half 8 dozen women to earn living driving cabs in the city the chivalrous Frenchmen went out of their way to hire the women drivers. They were readily distinguished at a distance by their uniform of a low-crowned hat and flowing cape. The women are doing a good business-so good, in fact, that certain men drivers who have lost their trade have resorted to the trick of discarding their own tall hats and coats and adopting the wo. mems cape and low hat The passen- ger who halls them does not discover the masquerade of the driver till it is too late to send the man away without being laughed at by the people on the street There is business enough so that the women, even with this unfair competition, continue to prosper.

Want to Know Sentiment of Conway Peo- pie Toward the Furtherance
 of the Project

A committee of Quitman citi- zens, of which Mayor John Mid dletol is chairman, has addressed letter to J. (. Clark of this city, seeking to ascertain the sentiment of Conway people as to the propos ed railroad from Conway to Quit man. The letter is as follows:
 A meeting of the citizens of Quit man was held on the Ieth iEst. for the purpose of discussing the feasibility of constructing or aid ing in the construction of a rail road from this place to your city, and as committee appointed at said meeting we are desirous of as- certaining the sentiment of the peo- pie of Conway toward the further ance of such a project, hence we venture to solicit your aid and in- fuence by bringing the matter prominently before your business men and citizens generally, so that ve can ascertain to what extent they are interested and whether they would be willing to take stock in the enterprise.
 We realize that whilst our peo- pie here would be largely benefited by the building of road as con templated, much greater benefits would occur to you on the other end of the line.
 We are opening correspondence with Col. Goldman with a view of getting him interested in the prop osition and in the event of receiv- ing sufficient encouragement from your people we will then take steps to have Col. Goldman visit your city and perhaps this town also and lay our proposition before him with the hope that it will meet his approval and gain his support.
