War and Culture.

So hostile to culture Is war that
the artisans of France have never
been able to attain to the standards
of workmanship which prevailed un-
der the old monarchy. Latin has been
mispronounced in England ever since
the wars of the commonwealth. Our
national culture started with the
handicap of a seven-years' war, and
was always little behindhand. Dur
ing the nineteenth century the Amerf-
can citizen was buffeting the waves OF
new development His daily life was
an experiment. His moral, social, po-
litical interests and duties were indie
terminate. Nothing was settled for
him by society. Was man to have
an opinion? Then he must make 1t
himself. This demands a more serious
labor than If he were obliged to manu-
facture his own shoes and candle
sticks. No such drafts upon individual
intellect is made in an old country.
You cannot get European to under
stand this distressing overtaxing OF
the intelligence in America. Moth

cause in old countries opinion Is part
Of caste and condition: opinion is the

TOO MANY PARENTS NOT CON-
SISTENT WITH CHILDREN.
To Laugh at Prank Today and Punish
for 1t Tomorrow Is Something
of Puzzle to the In
FAINT Mind.

One of the greatest faults in train
ing our children is a Lack of con-
s1stency. We make great mistake in
laughing at cunning baby FRANKS that
VIII some day cease to be amusing.
when the two-year-old baby feels her
self badly misused and sulks in the
corner with comical look of offended
dignity on her face it is laughable. but
when the six-year-old girl screams in
passion because she cannot wear
her new dress out to play in it Is not
so funny. And yet the principle in
Volved In both instances is the same
and the poor child is the sufferer.
Little William had been taught not
TO touch the piano and very seldom
disobeyed, but one day he grew rest
less, and watching mother and Aunt
Mary out Of the corner of his eyes
went over to the piano and down came
the little fist on the shiny keys. He
walked away with such a look Of
complete innocence that mother and
auntie both laughed heartily, and
auntie caught him up with kiss and
carried him out to see the kittens
But the next day when mother and
William called on the new minister's
wife the little boy soon discovered the
piano and started to play His mother
spoke to him, but he paid no heed,
so she rose and started to close the
piano, but Master William objected
and there were angry screams and
mother had to carry the little boy to
her chair. And why not? Yesterday
it had been a play; they had laughed
at him then, so why not today? 1t
was injustice to his baby heart and he
rebelled. If no attention had been
paid to the baby when she sulked she
would have soon tired Of her lonesome
corner and forgotten her grievance,
and if William in his restlessness had
been gently reminded of the piano be-
ing forbidden thing and his atten-
ton directed to something else, he
probably would not have troubled the
piano again. A good idea if the baby
sulks is to leave the room Immediate
ly. With no attention baby's offend
ed dignity wears off, and with no
audience a screaming child will soon
tire of its tantrum. But babies de-
mand attention. and If we laugh at
them for some little mischief one day
they think they are cunning and will
expect us to laugh at the same prank
another day.

Prince de Sagan is the hereditary
Duke of Talleyrand. When his father
died recently De Sagan became the
fifth duke of that name. AS the mere
Prince de Sagan he was looked upon
as an outsider by the highest society
of the French capital But as the
Duke of Talleyrand he occupies an
honOred place second to none. and his
duchess, the former Anna Gould, tri-
umphantly enters into a position
which for years her millions and eff
forts have failed to achieve.
The Gould millions wouldn't do it.
Count Boni de Castellane's titles
wouldn't do it. The royal title of the
thoroughly discredited Prince de Sa.
gan wouldn't do it. But the old, aristo-
cratic name, Duchess of Talleyrand,
opened the door. The siege of Paris.
which Anna Gould started when she
married Boni, is a success at last, and
the Gould millions finally have the
opportunity to fete the highest people
in France.
Social Ostracism Apparent Fate.
1t has been a long siege and hard
one. Up to the present time it has
appeared that it was going to be a
losing one for Anna. Social ostraCism

wasn't the circle that Anna Gould had
figured on entering when she became
his wife The best society of France
did not receive her with acclaim, and
Anna was disappointed and hurt.
Perhaps it is not fair to say that
this. the failure of the counts titles
to win her the position in European
society that she coveted, was the
cause of the rupture and final divorce
between her and Boni. but it is GER

read the following letter which had been
written him the day before by the Mayor
himself:

70 me to express my thanks to you for your

President Gresser was visibly affected by
the news, were the other officials in the
Borough Hall. Later in the day Mr. Ores

MURDER OF MAYOR HARRISON
Chicago Assassination Recalled by At
temnt to Kill Mr.. GaYnor.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-The attempt of a dis
charged and disgruntled municipal en-
ploye to kill Mayor Gaynor Of New York
recalls the assassination of Mayor Carter
H Harrison of Chicago at his home here
on October %. 1893. The Chicago assas-
sin Patrick Joseph Prendergast. a
disappointed officeseeker He surrendered
to the police soon after the shooting and
when asked if he realized that he had
killed the Mayor he said:
Yes, and I am glad of II. He promised
to give me the corporation counselship.
and he has not kept his word The Mayor
ought to have been shot years ago. He is
responsible for the deaths of hundreds of
people, in that he has refused to elevate
the tracks of steam railroads. This in
itself was sufficient reason for his being
removed. l had personal reasons of my
own, of course. and L probably would have
killed him anyway If II hadn't been for
the elevated railroad question"
When arraigned Prendergast pleaded
not guilty. Al the trial his counsel made
a plea of insanity, but the jury brought
in verdict of guilty, and after nine
months of fighting In the courts he was
executed by hanging on July Is. 1894.

establishing the boundary line between the
states.
Article 3 of this agreement gives New
York State jurisdiction over the waters OF
the Hudson River lying west of Manhattan
Island to the low water mark on the New
Jersey side, but makes the following ex-
ception:
The state of New Jersey shall have ex-
