scruple. Opinions varied much as to the causes, which were asserted in turn to be the demoralizing effect of plays seen Tn theatres. of modern education which neg lects good manners, and of the rapidly growing taste for sport leading 10 mix ing with pugilists. trainers, jockeys ana other professionals.
 There is only too much truth in the complaint raised but 1t may be doubted if French society is altogether right in blaming Americans or sport for the dec- adence in the politeness of their men. Those who put it down to the general trend of education are much nearer the mark. And with all dif1dence it must be whispered that French women them selves are not always the least in fault
 Two movements-feminism and the laicisation of schools-have contributed, largely to leveling the respect for the finer usages of society. The teachers are often far from being gentlemen In the true sense of the word, and naturally fail to inculcate gentle feelings in their pupils. The whole moral tone in France is deplorably low, and the code Is lax; and if women do not respect themselves they can hardly expect men to respect them. The impertinence and insolence sometimes seen In French women are al- most incredible. The remedy lies in their hands, and if women encourage casual treatment by men 1t is useless to com plain if this Is sometimes carried further than they desire or is practiced indis- criminately by all men, and not only by their own intimates. The question is complex one, and Is certainly not con- fined to French society, for the same in- ment is now often heard in London, Ber- lin, Vienna, and elsewhere. If a male and female referendum were started on the subject by the newspapers some home truths would be told by both sides.

The dumbbels lie under the bed the Indian clubs are gracefully crossed above the mantel piece and the "exerciser'' re- poses peacefully in the cellar with the late potatoes and canned fruit. This Is figurative language, of course, but MT. Morgan's robust constitution, active en- ergy and healthy mind are matters of fact.
 More nonsense has been written and preached about how to keep strong and well than on any other subject under the sum- It is partly a question of race, but more of individual temperament. Blus- Der for the Eskimo and rice for the East lndian-each is the right food in it's place. And as for drinks-vodka for tn Russian, light wines for the Latins, beer for the German, schnapps for the Dutchman. whisky for the Celt, anything for the American, and asses milk for those who want it. Comprehensively stated it is well 10 eat when you are hungry. drink when you are thirty and keep busy.
 There is no royal road to health; just the bylanes wooded groves and shady streets of fairly well-regulated habit are all that is needed.

The Hard .JOh

For the sake of It's lesson let me retel newspaper story:
 At the age of 30 a young man in New York state was a carpenter earning about $2 day. He was not a good carpenter. having no talent for tools.
 There was little prospect of getting up to be boss carpenter or contractor. And his family was growing.
 After much thought about his future he went to a successful man for advice.
 Do something else, said the adviser something different. If 1t is a hard job 1t will make you determined to do 1t. It will develop the character that will bring suc- cess'
 Why not study stenography? Good get good pay"
 But lack education"
 "Get it, then,' said the man.
 The carpenter talked the matter over with his wife and decided. He began by studying spelling. It was hard work, but
 Because he was trying to do a harder job than he had ever tried before 1t gave him courage.
 He became very good speller and then bought some books on stenography.
 Then he needed a teacher and saved money to hire one.
 Finally, when he had thoroughly learned the symbols that stand for words, in the evenings after his days work he would have his wife read speeches to him which he could practice taking down In short hand.
 The time came when he eecould quit his carpenterng and go into a lawyers of flee. And at the end of year his abil- ity secured for him court reporting posi- tion.
 Today this man has six or seven men working for him and is making several thousand dollars a year as public stem ographer.
 The story Is worth while because it IS not a tale of a struggling genius, but a recital of the determination of an aver age man who by hard work lifted himself out of a rut.
 Indeed, there is no genius save the gen. ius for hard work.
 He who looks for an easy job is an easy man. He who selects the big job becomes the strong man.
 It Is the hard job that puts iron into am ans bones convolutions into his gray matter and fiber into his soul.

 Carefully wrapping the frame up again he and others persuaded his victim to hasten home, and the wife's surprise may be better imagined than described.
 by no means inconsiderable expense which King George had to incur on his accession was the ordering of the immense number of uniforms which it Is neces- sary for the sovereign to have in the royal wardrobes-
 King George, on the death of the late King, had at once to older over a hun dred uniforms, an order that has only just been completed. The price of them varies considerably. some being very much more expensive than others. but at the lowest estimate their average cost may be reckoned at 100 guineas apiece, which would work out to total of s5o,0oo
 The late Kings uniforms have all been transferred to the wardrobe room at Marl- borough House. where several extra ward robes had to be put up.
 Miss Ellen Terry Is very fond of re- lating to her intimate friends the story of how she spent Christmas in Pitts burg, the great American steel town. She arrived there one Christmas day with tro late Sir Henry Irving and his com- rany.
 M Henry arranged for the party to have a ,''big dinner'' at their hotel. At the appointed hour they all sat down. The first course was soup, and 1t was uneatable, and the following courses were as bad.
 Then came Miss Ellen Terry's Christi mas pudding, which mad been sent out to her from England.
 'Very strange remarked Sir Henry, when it was brought in; but think this must be camphor pudding" It had been packed in trunk with furs and quan- tity of camphor.
 Princess Patricia of Connaught has had the time of her life in South Africa. The loyal colonists were carried off their feet by the beauty of the princess and every where the royal party went 1t was she who received the Hons share of the ac clamations-not always be it said. to the overwhelming pleasure of her mother, who naturally regarded herself as the feminine representative of the mission and entitled to a reception ''as such."

 Self Ennity

Most people are their own worst ene- mics, says Orison Swett Marden in Sue cess Magazine" We are all the time "queering'' our life game by our vicious. tearing-down thoughts and unfortunate moods. Everything depends upon our courage, our faith in ourselves. in our holding a hopeful optimistic outlook: and yet, whenever things go wrong with us. whenever we have a discouraging day or an unfortunate experience, a loss or any misfortune, we let the tearing down thought, doubt; fear, despondency, like g bull in china shop, tear through our mentalities, perhaps breaking up and de- stroying the work of years of building up. and we have to start all oyer again. We work like the frog in the well; we climb up only to fall back. and often lose all we gain.

London, January 14.-(Special.)-All aristocratic England is afiutter and will continue to be So for some weeks at least until all the many questions or precedence, of rights and privileges and the like concerning the coronation of King Edward and Queen Mary have been settled by the earl marshal.
 There are many such questions, and the Duke of Norfolk. who is earl mar shar, will have his hands full from now on until the coronation has passed into history.
 For instance, there Is much confusion as to who and who will not be entitled to receive commands" t obe present at the coronation. As a matter of fact, eV- cry peer and his wife has right to at- tend the crowning of the king; but. as matter of convenience, the earl mar shal has asked that all peers who desire to be present will notify him. Peers who are minors and Irish peers holding seats in the house of commons are entitled to attend It may, perhaps. be added that peeresses who have been divorced can not be present under any circumstances, though peers similarly situated are not likewise debarred. When the peers have been provided for--and only then-can other claims be attended to. Principal lmong these come the positions to be occupied by the foreign royalty and other distinguished guests who will be present. together with the Indian native princes and colonial representatives. so that there Is very small hope that com-s noners will receive commands" to be present in the abbey, though room will have to be found for several distin- guished individuals in various walks of life.
 There Is quite an amusing discussion among society ladies as to whether or. not the members of one of the most swagger clubs in Mayfair were Justified pr not in a certain action they took last week.

 Attorney General Wickersham was talk ing at the Lawyers club in New York about some of the absurd defenses that are set up in cases where rich men are involved.
 "Such defenses seem to indicate" he said, that some lawyers deem the public az ignorant of common law and common sense as Calhoun White was.
