A Worldwide Condition.

Lest the American who marvels at
the high prices of his household neces-
stiles become obsessed of the idea that
he is alone in his trouble, let him turn
to the records as just compiled by the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
of other countries indicating that the
complaint is an international one. Eng
land, France and Germany are having
their own troubles with prodigious
budgets which are bringing protests
from people already burdened with
taxes which the increased cost of living
makes 1t a hardship to meet. Austria
is shown to be experimenting with new
trade treaties with the Balkan states,
avowedly designed to secure a larger
supply of food products in the hope
of cutting the prices exacted by the
large land owners. Even Switzerland,
held up to the world as a model of
thrift and prosperity, is well to the fore
among nations whose people find 1t
difficult to live a comfortable, salts
factory existence within their means
1t would seem that in European
countries, as in America, the long
periods Of prosperity have so raised the
standard Of living that the family
with a moderate income is confronted
with the alternative of either going
without some things to which it has
been accustomed, or adopting more
economical ways. There is no denying
the fact that the spirit Of the age has
been prodigal, but the new conditions
are worldwide and not local nor ex-
ceptional.

REFORM THE PARENT.
Need of Revival of Famous Session
in the WOOdshed.

NOW 1oTk tribune.
PrecoCity seems to be inherent I'm the
modern youth, but, to judge from the num-
Der Of stories Of crimes committed during
the last few days by boys who ought 10 be
in the grammar or high schools, It would
appear that the time has arrived to restore
the rising generation to it's old status. In
Kansas a youth of II. with a companion Of
ID. robs a bank, kills a policeman and in
Jures another man, At Syracuse two young
men with wild west aspirations, one of
them Is and the other 16 years Of age, climb
aboard a train while at the station and
enter the express car to rob 1t after the
train is well under way. It New Albany,
Ind, a 17-year-old reader Of cheap blood
and thunder novels, in an effort to rob the
Merchants National bank, shoots and kills
the cashier and seriously wounds the presl-
dent of the Institution.
There is some reason to believe that the
boys themselves are not entirely at fault.
Parental responsibility rests more lightly
upon heads of households today, apparently,
than 1t did a generation ago. However we
may deplore the use Of those persuasive
means so much in vogue in the boyhoods
OF the grandfathers OF the present genera
tion, and however much we may approve
of the modern methods of moral suasion-
where it works-there still fingers the sus-
picion that a session in the woodshed with
the stern father and a good strap might
have a most s~alutary effect on some OF
the present day Juvenile criminals. Prob
ably many persons might say, il they
would. in the words Of the New Albany
father: ITO tell the truth, the boy never
had proper care. He has reared himself
and was an inveterate reader of cheap
novels" 1t is to be feared that many par
ents are too busy to devote the proper
amount OF time to the training OF their
children, and where this is the case they
have only themselves to blame when shame
and disgrace are brought upon their heads
by their offsprlnR.

The Concrete Battleship.

In this day of singular developments
in architecture and engineering, one Of
the most novel %evolutions is the So
called concrete battleship now nearly
completed as a part of the nations
permanent defenses of the Philippines.
This piece of construction has been
planted on one of the small islands
commanding the entrance toosManila
harbor, and from it's hull Of masonry
rise turrets of steel armor plate shield
ing 14-inch guns which can be trained
in every direction.
The concrete structure takes the
place Of a fort, and is as unusual a
contribution to the naval architecture
of today as was the monitor in it's
time. 1t is only one OF several limo
%vations included in the thorough for
~tification of the bay, which will be
made we'll nigh i~mpregnRble with big
guns, mortars and mines, but If Manila
ever has occasion to repulse an enemy,
the concrete battleship may be called
upon to give an account Of itself. II
it prove worthy of the confidence re-
posed in It by it's designers, 1t may
be the forerunner Of an entirely new
type Of fertilization along all our
coasts.

Lessons from Disaster.

One Of the lessons Of the belated
%rescues from the death pit following
the disaster at Cherry is the astound-
ing physical endurance OF man. Most
Of those saved from the tomb had for
nearly a week lived solely on the water
to be obtained from the seepage &C
cumulating in the holes scraped in the
coal floor Of the mine. They breathed
in much poison from the gases that
filled the galleries. Yet they we're
able after seven days Of Incarceration
to stagger forth. and their recovery
when above ground was speedy and
in most cases thorough.
OF all the animal life Of earth man
alone is able to endure such exhaustive
experiences. Mark Twain recorded in
his newspaper days a marvellous and
veracious report Of how a party of
shipwrecked men in an open boat had
literally starved themselves into a con-
ditlon of perfect health, in spite of
their emaciation. That narrative is
one of the most striking authentic
cases in print of mans ability to rise
superior to physical deprivation and
suffering.
The power to endure has been the
basis Of calculation in many fields of
human endeavor. In the realm of
sport It was at the foundation of the
ancient Marathon contests and the
more modern form of the six-day foot
race, which has beheld mar flashing
himself into requirements which would
have killed a horse in the early stages.
In the field Of labor the test of phys
ical strength has been exacted from
distant ages by taskmasters, and even
self-imposed duties have been made
more exacting because Of ones ca
pacity for strain. The candle of HUI
man life will often burn at both ends
for a long time before the final squirt
Of flame.
Two other notable lessons are taught
by the episode at Cherry, the contrast
between melodrama and real life, and
the personal value OF religious train
ing. Such a rescue on the stage would
be enacted full Of color and shouts.
But what could be more dramatic than
the survivors, quiet statement, There
was no cheering, nobody had voice
enough; we just sat down and let them
take care Of u.s." Such a gray mono
tone Of repression on the stage. would
be characterized as overdrawn! The
men had simply and naturally relaxed,
the tension was ended. In that long
siege they had been we'll inspired by
the u~nwavering faith of the rugged
Scotchman whose religion wal a lamp
unto the feet of his companions in
calamity. His hearty psalm-singing in
the depths Of that utter darkness en-
dowed the tagging with new spirit,
and his practical and efficient applica-
ton Of the boyhood lessons of a pious
mother had in them all the qualities
of the sublime.

Old-fashioned school boys who have

safeguarding railroad Travel

The necessity for limiting the human
factor, or personal equation, in the OPP
Grafton OF railroads, II the most dread
full and fatal OF wrecks are to be
avoided, has compelled the heads OF
leading lines to make definite and per-
sonal Investigation into the merits of
inventions designed TO make collisions
impossible.
The travelling public will be grateful
for the information hat so confident
are the railroading interests OF the re-
liability OF a device on which they fin
ally had pinned faith, that the presi-
dents OF several important roads ac-
tually imperilled their own lives by
riding in two locomotives driven at full
speed head-on toward each other. The
