attired in the conventional frock coats
with silk hats, while Helie was addi-

Tranps who set upon a railroad
brakeman a few days ago and tortured

gold teeth seem to have discovered
pretty nearly the limit to which thefts

have taken the mans money would
have been a grave crime but the indig-
nifty of the process Of depriving the
man of his grinders almost passes be-

''The reason that we have begun to
come over here for our schooling" said
DR.. Bose yesterday, "is that in no other
country can student get so much

other country can a student go to col

Christian Philosophy Does Things.
A scholarly baccalaureate sermon
was delivered at Yale by President Ar
thur Twining Hadley Of Yale, who
summarized for the members Of the
graduating class the four great sys-
TENS Of human philosophy, the Epi-
curean. the Stole, the ascetic, and the
Christian, and told them that 1t was
the Christian philosophy which has en-
abled the nations Of the world to work
out, shoulder to shoulder what they
would never have achieved as individ-
uals in isolation.
Without system Of philosophy,
President Hadley told the seniors, they
would go charities and rudderless into
life. With one they can attain charac-
ter. He predicted that their choice

Christianity, and said that these two
not unequal strife.
To the devotees and devotion Of Epi-
cureanism DIR. Hadley laid the sorrow
and suffering which has been brought
among civilized nations by the divorce
evils, shattered physical we'll being,
and wrecked lives to give selfish dndi-
viduals pleasure.
"Gentleman of the graduating class"
said Dr. Hadley, "whatever you may
have learned in this place will be of
little value unless 1t teaches you some
consistent attitude toward the great
problems Of life with which every man
must concern himself, whether he will
or no. If you go forth without some
such philosophy of life you go int
the world rudderless and chartless
"The great choice lies be- -.
Epicureanism and Christianity. A.
are the two PHILOSOPHERS which 7hss
today contending with one another =
close al i not unequal strife Much
there is for the moment that favors
the Epicurean. The great extension of
the fields of human happiness; the
positive benefits to the community de-
rived from the exercise OF commercial
self interest; THE downfall OF certain
beliefs which until few years ago
were deemed essential parts Of Chris
tianity-all these tend to give a phil
osophy of calculated selfishness an adj
vantage over the appeal of personal
devotion.
"Yet firmly believe that the selfish
pursuit Of happiness menaces alike the
efficiency of our individual citizens,

Out-of-Doors Culture.

This is the camp-meeting season. 1t
is also the season for Chautauqua
gatherings. 1t is the season when
mountainside and lakeside, seaside
and riverside are dotted with culture
camps. Even the camp-meeting in its
modern form runs as much to culture
of the spirit az 1t does to aggressive
attacks upon sin. Thousands Of busy
persons are availing themselves OF
recreation and culture in combination.
This is source of agreeable summer
employment for college professors who
do not want to rust during the summer
season, and to whom a little work of a
light order and under pleasant condi-
tions is an agreeable change from the
set routine of the classroom and the
sedentary experiences. How much the
summer schools affect the educational
standards and cultural quality OF the
people, says the Baltimore American,
may not be gathered. But it is certain
that the summer leaven works through
a great mass of the population, and its
guickening effects must me great.

The Fruit PACKAGE.

A great advance has been made in
preparing articles for shipment and for
exhibition in attractive ways. The old
shpsnod methods have largely disap-
peared, as anyone who uses eyes, ears
and memory can testify. There is
hardly an article, from the notion
counter Of the department store to the
varied array of modern grocery, or
even In the stalls of a market. which
is not arrayed in a manner indicating
some desire to make a tempting ap-
pearance. Still there is much to learn.
The packing of fruit and showing off
10 good advantage is an art that
should be cultivated, and the matter is
considered of such significance that
onlcial notice is taken of it. The Bos-
ION Herald says: There's nothing
that adds more to the attractiveness
OF box Or crate of fruit than liberal
dressing of green leaves Of one kind
or another. Our consul at Frankfort
contributes some useful information on
this subject, telling of the advantages
of fern leaves for this purpose, not
only for the decoration, but for the
preservation of the fruit. The fern
leaves, it seems, possess a preserva
tive quality far beyond any Other
greens, and they are extensively uset
in the foreign markets, not only tt
pack fruits, but vegetables and dair!
products as we'll More green decora
tons would add much to the attrac
tiveness of our fruit markets anc
fruit stands, and they would help II
preserve the fruit at the same time.
Public taste is increasing, and it is tn
attractive newspaper "ad'' and the at
tractively arranged shop which mos
surely win customers.

Suggestions that the United States
and Mexico Jointly police the Central
American countries and SO put an end
to the disorders constantly develop
ing there are being seriously discussed.
Pretty nearly every other plan appears
to have failed. Even when the little
nations are brought to the point of
fixing up an agreement all round to be
good there is no guarantee against one
or another breaking the contract with
out the slightest scruple. The United
States naturally is much averse to
anything looking like interference
with the affairs of other countries, but
cooperation with Mexico would be an
assurance of disinterestedness and
would forestall any Latin-American
objection. What Central America
needs and must have for proper politi'
cal and material development is con-
tinued peace, and Uncle Sam, with
Mexico as side partner, would see that
peace was maintained.
