History We Ought to Study.

Historians give much importance
to political lines because they exist.
and not enough to the races and in.
ci6ents that produced tlose lines.
Rome Is the centre of all European
history, and in its dominance drew
to itself all the States Of Europe; but
in its decline these States were di.
vided into smaller States by the co.
hesion of racial bonds. The wars OF
the past have been due to racial ambi.
tions working in one form or another
History in it's telling has only re.
Gently been placed upon a scientific
basis, accepting the theory that sci.
ence is without prejudice and precon'
ception; it has done little for enlight.
eminent and much for that confusion
which results from perverslon or TACT
and the glorification of some particu.
lar race. 1t Is men, not acres, that
have made history; and only when we
deal with men and their motives and
throw the light on all in spirit OF
Justice and truth that history is worth
while.
Racial history is almost wholly
neglected, and we hope that some day
q historian will devote himself to the
important work of getting out u
school history which will enable the
scholar to know what the races COM
ing to this country are and what they
have been doing in the past. which
will dissipate many popular fallacies
and help greatly in the problem Of
assimilating these old races as they
enter this new country.-Boston

In the streets the people kiss eacn

In ENGLAND and America the hap
piest revels for children are over be-
fore January /, but in Scotland they
are Just getting under full headway.
This custom doubtless arose from the
fact that the old Calvinists held IN
detestaion the "Popish" celebration
of Christmas, and 1t became sup
planted by "Hogmanay," usually held
on New Years Eve. This euphonious
name is doubtless derived from the
old greeting, "Au gui menez" ("To
the mistletoe go!") The festival Ia
distinctively a juvenile function. and
they prepare for 1t weeks beforehand
by memorizing songs and making
"guisers" costumes.
Housewives lay in stock of oaten
cakes and bake store Of "bridles,
which they hand out to the children
when they come to the house door to
claim their "hogmanay," crying:
Get up, good wife, and shake your
feathers,
And dinna think that we are beggars;
For we are BARNS come out to play
| Get up and gie's our hogmanay.'
This custom of the hogmanay is al
luded to in that most delightful book,

several guisers go around In a mild
sort of theatrical entertainment be-
fore an appreciative audience gath
cred beneath the smoked rafters OF
the great farmhouse kitchen. Among
the old customs we OF to-day still
cling most fondly to Is the one OF
ringing the church bells at midnight,
heralding the birth of the new year.
Although the poetic figure OF the
| old gray-haired sexton pulling his bell
with might and main in the belfry
tower has been supplanted by the fin
de-siecle individual who, snug and
warm, sits at a keyboard and reels
off the music with as much ease as
though playing "Moneymusk" In the
parlor, the sentiment fingers and, lis
tening to the mellow chimes cleaving
the frosty air, one hears the singing
In unison Of:
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring ont the thousand wars of DID,
Ring in the Thousand years of peace

Only night from old to new! "a,

The Old Years heart its hopes laid down
As in a grave, but, trusting, said,
"The blossoms of the New Years crown
Bloom from the ashes of the dead.

With selfshness it longed and ached,
And cried: 81 have not half neea,
Nv thirst is bitter and unslaked.
But to the New Years generous hand
All gifts in plenty shall return;
True loving it shall understand;
By all my failures it shall learn.

Quiet and calm and pure of life.

And find sweet peace where ! leave

Only night from old to new
Never night such changes brought.
The Old Year had its work to do;
No New Year miracles are wrought.
Always a night from old to new!,
Night and the healing balm Of sleep!
Each morn is New Years morn come tr'
Morn of n festival to keep.
All NIGHTS are sacred nights to make
Confession and resolve and prayer;
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness in the sunny air.
Only a night from old to new;
Only Sleep from night to morn.
The new is but the old come true;

HOUSE LEADERS
 STILL HOPEFUL
Question With Republicans Is Whether
 They Can Muster Enough Votes
 Without the Democrats to Pass the Vreeland Emergency Currency Bill

Washington, April 2S.-The House leaders have not abandoned hope Of enacting financial legislation at the present session of Congress. Repre- sentative Vreeland of New York, whose emergency currency bill has been considered the probable substi- ute for the Aldrich measure, said yesterday that he had canvassed the Republican members of the House and that tive-sixths of them would vote for his bill
 The question now is whether enough Republican votes can be marshalled for the bill to pass the House without the aid of the Democratic votes. Fail ing in this, the friends of the measure believe the bill may be put through with Democratic help.
 As the matter now stands the Sem ate will refuse to pass a bill provld- ing for the appointment of a commits sion to look into the whole currency system ana report needed reforms 10 Congress unless it is attached to a measure for emergency currency. If a bill is sent over to the Senate from the House providing for merely a commission, the Senate will add to it the Mdrich bill and send it back to the House. The Senate is ready to accept the Vreeland bill with certain notifications and will not object se- riously to its clearing house provis- 1 ion

THAW ESCORT
 DIES SUDDENLY
Big-Hearted Deputy .Sheriii Jos. Ball, Who Had in Eleven Years Taken 15.OOO Prisoners From the TOmbs tO Other Penal Institutions.

New York. April 2S.-There is sor- TOW in the sheriff's office because of the sudden death of Deputy Sheriff Joseph Bell, captain of the squad that takes prisoners to Sing Sing. In eleven years he took 15,OOO prisoners from the Tombs prison and delivered them to the various penal institutions to which they had been sentenced He had the reputation of never hay ing lost a man.
 It was Bell who took Harry K. Thaw to the insane asylum at MatteaWan. Daniel O'Reilly, one of Thaw's coun- sel, who went along, says Bell caught severe cold while conducting Thaw from Fishkll landing to Matteawan, and that he really never recovered from it.
 "I guess that trip killed poor Joe Bell.' said Mr. O'Reilly.
 Among the noted prisoners to whom Bell had been shackled were Dr. Sam uel J. Kennedy, tried three times for 
 murder; AT Adams, the policy king who. after a term in Sing Sing, con- mitted suicide; Roland B, MolineuX, who, upon his second trial for murder, was acquitted; Salvador Governales, who killed two policemen ill Washing ton Square; Bedros Hampartzoomian, who shot and killed an Armenian rug merchant; Albert Patrick, now serv- ing life sentence for the murder of William Marsh Rice, and Thomas To bin, who died in the electric chair for the murder of Capt. Craft.
 Because he always spoke d kind word to the men he had 10 deliver at | the doors of prisons, Bell became known as "Big-Hearted" Joe Bell.

 The fleet will enter the Golden Gate at noon on May 6, the review will oc- cur in San Francisco harbor on May $, and on May 10 Admiral Evans is eX- pected 10 haul down his flag perma- ncntly. The fleet ther will pass under actual command of Admiral Thomas for five days. On May 15 he will be relieved at his own request to make way for Rear Admiral Charles Sperry, who is to take the ships on the world cruise back to New York.
 It was said on the fleet that the damage to the port engine on the Mis- souri is so serious that there is a strong probability of the ship not be- ing able to accompany the fleet to the Far East in July. \ new cylinder head must be planned and cast, fitted and installed, and it is doubtful il this can be done in the time that in- terVeneS De1Ore the udle Ol uepdl Jul e. In case the Missouri can not go to the East, the Maine or the Alabama will be retained in her place in the column of sixteen.
 Many officers in the fleet have been applying for leave ever since the fleet reached the coast. So numerous and insistent have the requests become that Admiral Thomas issued a circular today notifying everybody that no leaves would be granted until after the review on May 8. The fleet will leave here on Thursday at 10 8. m. and will arrive at Monterey the next morning at o'clock.
