HONOR.

In his b~accaiaureats address on
Sunday. President iiadley OF Yale
spoke chiefly OF the maintenance OF
personal honor. with special refer
ence to the telling OF lies, This dis
cussion, indeed. WAS only an Incl
dent in the development OF the
greater subject, but it occupied a
large part OF the address, coming in
again and again, rs. for instance, In
this passage:
than the statute n conventions of
those about him. he is safe from
neither personal nor professional
honor. 1t may be true that honesty is
the best policy; III ii is u~ndeniahly
true that nobody WAS every really
honest If that was his reason. The
only men who are safe are those
whose standard of honor are what
the world calls quiXotiC-which real
ly means that they are christian"
Here it may be worth while to
'ott 'iC ihHL pa hot, IN
an apparent inference thai a quix-
otto standard of honor is found in
men living in the christian religion
alone. says the San Antonio Light. !
Probably President Hadley did not
it in hat way, but it is the
meaning that nan who read his
and some of those who heard
them, will place on the phrase, The
is hat the highest type of per
sonal honor nay exist in men who !
accept no particular form of relig-
.ous belief o. hold to any one of the
great religions of the world, or e
among those who regard every re-
ligion as a delusion. 1t is a question
of morals and of self-respect rather
of any form of religious teach |
ing. Religion enforces it, but in do
ing so it includes it with the other
virtues. 1t is one of the elements
| which unite in the ideal Of perfec-
attainment for all who seek to regu-
late their lives as well as human ma
ture permits.
One more passage may be quoted
for the compactness with which ii
expresses the real nature of a lie:
when a man tells a lie IT means
that some consideration, usually a
selfish one. has got so prominently
into the foreground that he is will
ing to violate certain rules which
have been recognized as the founda-
He rates the advantage which is i'm
mediately before him high, and rates
the honor of keeping his word low.
What sort Of unselfish considerations
there may be which in extreme in
stances justify a nan In departing
from verbal truthfulness | do not
care 90 discuss. We an recognize
that uo man is worthy of our toler-
auoe who departs from the truth for
selfish reasons. or who habitually
uegIects b. for any reason whatever 20
The address furnished an admir-
ably direct and simple treatment OF
subject which necessarily comes

Big BATTLESHIP
BLOWN TO PIECES
Two Hundred French Sailors
Are Killed
Jena's Magazines Let Go While She
Is ut Dock Undergoing an
Inspection.
VESSEL COMPLETELY WRECKED.

Paris, March IA dispatch re-
ceived from Toulan says the French
battleship Lena has been blown up.
The explosion was in the powder
magazine and resulted in the death
of 200 officers and men and serious
ly injured 100 more. The big battle
ship was wrecked. The Jena was ly-
ing at dock when inspection was or
dered OF her machinery and maya
zine. While the officers were max
ing the rounds there came a frightful
report, followed by others. The
great plates of the vessel were torn
asunder. Fragments of her armor,
decks, superstructure and small
boats and human remains were hurl-
cd high In the air. The cause OF the
explosion is not yet known. The
battqeship carried a crew of 700 men.
