A HAIF-MILuoN A YEAR.

4 bill has been favorably reported in congress providing for the appro- rrfafion of not over half a million a year for the purchase of property in foreign ports for the use of American ambassadors A movement of this kind Is in keeping with the wealth and dignity of the nation and would put this country on the level with oth- CT worid-power nations.
 IL is a notorious fact that the rental of an embassy building constitutes the largest item in the drain on the am oassador's purse Even if this were not so. America owes it to her repre- sentatives to provide for them homes equal to those which other countries provide for their own representatives at Washington The purchase of en- bzssy buildings will go far toward solving one Of the vexatious problems of foreign ambassadorships and of si- iencing a complaint which is not with 0zt considerable reason.

THE BETTER CELEBRATION OF
 THE FOURTH.

A sane and safe celebration of the Fourth need not be a noiseless or a crackerless Fourth. Mayor Gaynor of New York struck the popular chord when he said he enjoyed hrecrackers now as much as when a boy and that he enjoyed seeing the boys celebrate The dangerous explosives sold to chill drsn and the disorder which a part Of the community indulges in. is the cause of most of the fatalities and cas- ualties which a century after the bat tie of Bunker Hill exceed the fatali- ties and casualties of that famous bat tie every year.
 4 sane and safe Fourth Is simply a rational and orderly celebration of the day. The entertainment of the people .s a simple way to better things. In a nurnher of cities wholesome modes of celebration are already being plan ned PittsbJEg is to have a series of historical pageants, re-enacting scenes from the Braddock campaign: Washington. Worcester and Cleveland are taking steps in a like direction.

BEGAN ON BORROWED MONEY.

Andrew Carnegie. who has distribut- ed in benevolence rising s150, ,00O 900 in the past twenty years. began life in America on $40 a month. and was not able to save money enough to gratify his ambitions. so. depending upon his character and industrial habits he ap- preached his employer for a loan. "AII right, Andy" said this amazingly easy person. you're a good boy and guess ] can let you have it" Andy" agreed to pay hack the loan at the rate of twenty dollars a month; which. left him exactly twenty dollars a month to live on; and this money he invested in sleePing-car stock. and in few years his borrowed hundreds had become s1o.eoo. It Is not reported that An drew Carnegie was ever afterwards short of fundss and while the world does not know what Mr. Carnegie did for his old-fashioned boss-workrnen and bosses were nearer together then than they be today. 1t is true that he has helped many other young men on inc road to wealth, several of whom have become multi -nillionaires.
 Mr. Carnegie feels rather proud to think that he had as his starter a boss whose confidence he commanded. identity there is a deep interest in the man who did 50 much more for the human race than he ever dreamed himself capable of doing As a con- temporary remarks: Everybody knows who should be acclaimed for giving the Carnegie young men their starts.

SUPPORTING THE HOG.

An eccentric observer has no doubt that the high cost of living to man is the unnatural and ungovernable appe- tite he carries round with him. He states the case like this: "A man eats enough food in three minutes to keep his body machinery running for half a day. The rest of the food that he takes aboard in the half hour that he spends at the table goes to satis- fly the hog within him. It is what the hog demands, not what the man needs, that makes living so costly. The poor man works hard ali day in order to earn enough to satisfy the cravings of the hog. If he would do without his two or three pounds of beefsteak for supper and would slowly and thor oughly nasticate four or five English walnuts instead, he would sleep well and wake clear-headed for the next days work. and he would have money to send his children to dancing school.''
 This is one way of looking at the situation and solving the problem The gourmand is more numerous than we think, and excessive eating doubt less wastes 30 per cent. of the living expenses. During present hard times a good many people may learn how to live better for less money and save the surplus.

THE DIFFERENCE IN SPIRIT.

The tolerant spirit of the north has always stood out in strong contrast with the conduct of the south and the prospect is that it ever will The country has recently passed a Lee and a Lincoln anniversary and while the papers in most parts of the country spoke appreciatively of the excellent qualities of General Lee, the southern papers had very little to say about Abraham Lincoln, and the animus of what the few editors did say was far from creditable to them. The Charles ton News and Courier remarks of Abraham Lincoln that "barring his politics and his political associates and his political errors" he was "one of the ablest and finest men the coun- try has ever had"
 This is the one symptom which shows to the citizens in all other parts of the country what the matter with the south is, and why it attracts less immigrants and is being developed slower than other parts of the coun- try which climatically are very in- ferior- It is not strange that Boston editor commenting upon this dig at Lincoln, said: ''These words express the northern estimate Of Robert E. Lee, who is to the south what Lincoln is to the north. for they constitute a generalization applicable to many men of many parties"

 Poor people are delightful and live delightful lives. I grant you that money is a convenience, and that often enough there is dire need of more of it than one has in hand. But-better a convenience than a god Going with out mum berless essentials is not hardship. Most of us spend the first part of our lives in acumulatlng vari- ous kinds of rubbish, which we spend the latter part in trying to rid our selves of. A cosy room or two to live in, plenty of simple food, few changes of raiment, a little music, a shelf of favorite books, bit of sky to look up to, and a friend to clasp hands with-what more can anyone want? What more can anyone have, what more is there to have, except a multiplicity of these same things, a superduity, the over and over and wise not only shed their baggage by degrees but are careful not to ac- cumulate over mush as they go along Years ago a student who was enjoying the intimacy of a genial circle of writ CTS and painters exclaimed: T tell you, friends, not all the poor people are nice. but all the incest people are poor!"
 There is such a thing as being in the world, but not Of it. There is such 8 thing as living slightly aloof, slightly apart, letting the rush and roar and wrangle pass us by as no concern oi ours. There Is such a thing as accept ing our conditions, whatever they may be: and while doing our best and ut most, yet recognizing that no outward condition or circumstance can touck the inner life, which is always rich an6 full and sweet. What is true of one 1 is true of all. In this deeper sense then, as we'll, is it not good to be one with the great majority?
