THE SCHOLARSHIP THAT WAS.

Time was when the youth of Vir- ginia, as we'll as the youth of other states in the south, could quote with ease from Virgil, Caesar, or Horace, and it was because they had to dig down into the text in the sweat of their own faces and discovered the fine phrasing. the inimitable shading. the matchless majesty of the Latin tongue. Translating Caesar was hard work: there were few aids or notes, and the boy who could read the sixth book of Caesar was a marked boy.
 These are times of diversified edu- cation. however The average stu dent has a good many more things to study about now than his an cestors had: and the Latinity of to- day is as superficial as that of fifty years ago was sound and thorough. Less attention is being paid to Latin now, and it's former eminent position in the school curriculum has been surrendered to other studies Of more modern stamp.
 Sometimes we read the letters and the speeches of the old south and wonder why 1t is that so few people can make such speeches now. There may be many reasons; the haste and hurry of the present day may have something to do with it; but we ven ture to say that the desuetude in the study of Latin and Greek authors has had much to do with it.-Rich- mond Times Dispatch.

ORPHEUS.

Fer since the Morning Stars together
 sang, The Heaven above. and Earth be-
 heath, both rang With harmonies that pleased the
 mortal ear. Loved Orpheus. Thy mystic charm draws near Those beatific thoughts of Heart and
 Soul, Which fit Mankind for his Immor-
 tai Goal! While martial music stirs the heart
 to strife, Sweet solemn sounds inspire to bet
 ter life. The lark's rich note salutes the New
 Born Day; The Pipes of Pan for all True Lovers
 play; The wedding march cements two
 hearts as one, At last the funeral dirge-Our course At blast of Gabriel's trump we all
 shall wakel The Universe with loud hosannas
 quake, Angelic Hosts their myriad harps will
 play And usher in the Resurrection Day Eternity will greet our raptured eyes And Heavenly dapasons fill the
 skies! (Copyright)

SAGAcIoUS POLICY OF MExlco'S
 RULER.

Diaz has shown shrewd judgment and sane statesmanship in refusing to allow Mexico to plunge into the attractive extravagances of huge army and navy establishments. She does not need them, so her budgets have been relieved of the incubus. Her army, which is useful principally as national police force, cost her last year only s13,97O.O0O, while the main- tenace of the navy was below s1.O00.- O0O The army, about 25.OOO in round numbers, is disproportionately small for the size of the country and the total of it's 160OO,000 inhabitants. Diaz takes the common sense view of it. Labor is scarce" he said to me. Every man taken into the army draws a needed pair of hands from the field or the shop. So we have kept down the size of the army. which is smaller than it used to be in the old days, and by increasing the efficiency of the officers and giv- ing them better pay, have likewise increased the efficiency of the rank and file" The millions which might have been wasted in a vainglorious essay at pandering to a zest for mili- tary glory, or in seeking to elevate Mexico to a sea power, have been de- voted to needed internal improve ments Examples of these include the fine port works at the Atlantic and Pacific ends of the Tehauntepec rail- way. Vera Cruz, ManZanillo and other harbors, the railroads encouraged by liberal subventions. highways, subsi- dized irrigation projects which will bring vast tracts of arabic land, use less without water. to contribute to the agricultural wealth of the coun- try: dignified and enduring public buildings, an adequate water supply system for the capital. schools and homes for institutions of higher learn ing, and, last but not least, in the policing of the country so that full protection is assured to life and property.-Robert Hammond Murray, in Columbian Magazine.

MANS PHYSICAL EQUAL, TOO.
Dressmakers Say That Women Are
 Increasing in Size.

New York,-With the opening Of the clothes show this afternoon at the Madison Square Garden dress makers, modistes and women's tail ors will endeavor to show that wo- men are growing in statue as the years roll by and that in the near future their average physical pro- portions will equal those of man.
 The exhibition will present the new modes in everything that goes to make up the attire of men and wo- men. and the increased sizes of fem mine garments will be a remarkable feature. There will be living mod els.
 Bearing out the assertion that New York women are growing larger year by year. one dressmaker said yester- day that. only ten years ago the willowy creature with a 34 or 36- inch bust measurement commanded the general attention of the modistes, whereas today the general measure ment is SS to 40. while growing demand runs up to the A and 46 measure. Such a state of affairs they say. IS absolutely modern.
 The head of the suit department of large store said yesterday: Fat women need no longer lament that they cannot buy gowns with the fla cility that slim women can. We have so many demands from women whose measurements run into the forties tha we have arranged to take care of them all this fall
