gence. There is no sense of justice or
sequence in the ideas followed by these
peculiar invaders. Many a statue Is an
insult of common-sense, If It Is not an
insult to someone's opinion. Statues have
aesthetic purpose Apart from two or
three statues such as that Of Etienne
Marcel at the Hotel de Vile, and Jeanne
de- Arc, there is not a single modern
statue that seems to be in its right place
or to have embellished Paris. What is
Shakespeare doing on the Boulevard
Haussmann, or Henry Becque on the
pavement of the Avenue de Villiers? Why
Is the statue of the 'Penseur' by Rodin.
on the steps of the Pantheon? Why
three statues to Alfred de Mussett? How
many, in that case, should Victor Hugo
have?"
M. lie Corbeiller concluded that it is
time to put an end to the statuomania
of Paris. The occasion is favorable. The
city Is about to lay out beautiful gar
dens on the site of the Notifications. Let
all the statues that are out of place in
Paris be transferred to the new gardens,
ranged in intelligent order, and thus ac-
complish their purpose. He recommends
that for the future no further site for
statue should be conceded within the city
limits. Let them be erected on the vacant
spaces of the demolished ramparts.

Theft of EngIand's Seal

FROM Pall MAIL Gazette.
The necessary renewal of the Great Seal
recalls a time in its history when that
renewal was very much imperative. This
all-important instrument was once stolen,
and was never recovered. Lord Chan
cellor Thurlow's house in Great Ormond
street was burglariously entered on the
night of March "a, 1884, and the Great
Seal for the first time on record, thus
taken out of the possession of its official
guardian. The King had declared his
intention of dissolving parliament. The
abstraction of the Great Seal, without
which the dissolution could not have
taken place, was thus given political
character, and the rather significant fact
that nothing else of value was annexed.
The hubbub this theft occasioned was,
Mr. Walpole remarks, for some hours
prodgious but forms and ceremonies
are not quite SO awful since Time ar
rived at years of discretion" The chan
cellor went to the King. The necessary
steps were promptly taken. A cast was
got in the course of the day, and Served
for the death warrant of the House of
Commons the same night Lord chan
cellors, no doubt, have not left Great
Seals lying about after this experience.

Guarding Our Citizenship.

Much has been said and written in
this age about the guardianship Of
youth from the pitfalls of the mod
ern swift moving life, A great reform
has undoubtedly been accomplished in
some few cities BY the enforcement Of
the curfew law and the more general
enforcement of the compulsory school
attendance law, but another progress
siye step might well be taken, Exer
else proner public guardianship over
the youth of homes where paternal in
fluence is lax The home is the one
place above all others where citizenship
is fostered, where high ideals are formed,
IN fact it is the foundation stone Of a
future national structure either strong
and pure or weak and crumbling. Con-
sequently it is the duty of good govern
nlent TO insist on the integrity of the
home as a protection for itself.
In some states a good work is being
done by officials appointed to inves-
tigate cases of parental cruelty, neg
loct and misguidanee and it is neees-
sary to remove children found under
such circumstances to state institutions
placed entirely under state control We
are in need Of more such supervision
in Vermont. We send unruly boys and
girls to the state Industrial school at
Nergennes and attempt, and with good
results. to reform them. This is a great
and good institution and undoubtedly
greater numbers Of youth could be sent
there to the advantage of the youth
himself and the state. but it might be
unjust to many children who need in
fluence and a government better than
that they receive at home 70 send them
to an Institution where the stigma of
attendance there goes with them
through life as a detriment. There is
need Of an institution for children com
pulsorily taken from homes where the
parents are bad, and the child needs
other and better influences. and not be-
cause the child is bad and needs re-
forming.
There are homes where anything nut
acnor and high ideals are taught. homes
where criminality breeds profusely, and
children remain there 10 grow up into
life Of shame to themselves and the
state, when this might have been spared
the disgrace hrd not influences in their
tender years perverted their minds.
