The Battle Of the Boyne.

From the Westminster Gazette.
Why should the memory Of the battle
of the Boyne arouse SO much bitterness
when other battles fought with far
greater fierceness and bloodshed are SIM
ply regarded as interesting events In past
history? At the fight between William Of
Orange and James III on the Boyne the
loss of life on both sides amounted to
about 1000: at Borodino the losses of the
composite French army and the Russians
were $4,000. and yet the latter historical
event was commemorated the other day
just at the time when France and Russia
had come closer to each other without
apparently rousing the slightest ill-feeling
between the two nations. Frenchmen to-
day do not get excited when we honor the
memory of Nelson or Trafalgar day, and
as for Marston moor, and Naseby, and
Dunbar, they do not ruffie any ones sus-
capabilities any more than the recollec-
ton of William the COnqueror and Sen
lac when we find ourselves on Norman
soil. We know that memories are long
in Celtic countries. but to keep up crow
ing for over 200 years about victory
from which the defeated Celtic element
suffered much is surely unnecessarily
provocative.

The Length of Life.
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
DR.. Wiley is right in his contention that
people die too young. Human life should
be prolonged, and it can be by higher
education on matters of hygiene. The
average expectation Of life in the United
States is only about forty-fOur years. 1t
should be much higher. and probably will
be hereafter, for people are learning more
and more concerning the prevention of
disease.
AS a matter of fact. the most valuable
study in our schools is hygiene. If the
young folks are taught the value of food
and moderate exercise they will grow up
strong and possess knowledge of how
to take care of their bodies. There Is too
much ignorance among young and old
concerning the proper care of the health.
How few there are who know even how
to eat-that is, to consume only those
things which will agree with and upbuild
the system and create sufficient sup
ply of vitality with which to ward off
disease.
A child with a large head and an ema-
ciated body should be kept from difficult
mental tasks and be put through a course
of hygienic instruction and training that
would conserve his energies.
The sooner more attention is paid in
all our Institutions of earning to hygiene
and kindred topics the better it will be
for the students. None but the strong
and healthy can enjoy life or engage sue
ceSSfully in its battles.

Hints for the Sedentary.

From the Boston Globe.
If you are a person of sedentary hab-
its-brain worker. desk worker. book
keeper. stenographer, clerk-it is Wei to
heed the suggestions and the warnings
of British physician who has made a
study of the influence of muscular ex-
ercise and open air on the bodily func-
tons.
His researches have convinced him that
the bad air of stuffy. ill-ventilated rooms
has a less Injurious effect upon the oc-
cupants than an insufficient amount of
exercise. Bad air is bad enough, but
lack of exercise is worse The bad air,
however. should be kept in motion.
There should be ventilation OF some kind,
and then the impurities are not so dam
gerous.
The greatest danger for the sedentary
man or woman, according to the Brit
ish physician, lies in the increased blood
pressure, for THE brain worker or the
desk man accelerates his heart by his
work. and his blood pressure is raised.
but he has neither muscular movements
accompanying changes Of posture nor
the respiratory pump to aid the heart
in the maintenance of the circulation.
Strong pressure on the arteries, long
continued, stretches their walls and
suits in their hardening, thus impeding
the circulation and lessening the power
of resistance to infection. To counter
act this there must be exercise in the
open air-gentle or strenuous. according
to the individual strength. Colds are not
caused by low temperature. but by lack
of resistance to temperature changes.

The Human Spectacle.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
There is an elderly woman in Kansas
Cty-doubtless only one of many-whose
conversation is a constant source of
delight to her friends. She didn't go to
college, perhaps not even to high school,
but her conversation is much more en-
tertaining than that of many highly edu-
Gated persons. She doesn't talk about
art or literature. Probably she never
heard of the planitesmal hypothesis or
the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood. But she
years. and it has afforded her infinite
satisfaction. She is full of quaint and
humorous observations on the passing
show.
OF course, the limitations of her infor-
nation are not cited as an advantage.
1t would be delight to hear her dis
course on Maeterlinck if she were IA
miliar with his writings. But 1t is re-
markable how well her interest in people
has served her.
Frequently you find a highly cultured
person who is exceedingly tiresome. His
thing apart from life. He may have an
opinion on medieval French literature OF
on the mechanistic conception Of the
universe, or what not. But 1t all seems
foreign to human experience. So the
vital touch is lacking.
a writer of ethics speaks as inherent
ingredients Of happiness as including 1.-The
humor Of sympathetic contemplation OF
the spectacle of life.' 1t is a wonderful
~ important capacity. The person en-
dowed with tor who cultivates it-has
an unfailing source Of delight. The little
foibles of men and women, the interplay
Of ambitions, social aspirations, the tnou-
sand and one things that make up the
routine OF life. when alphabetically OBJ
served provide material for happiness.

The Free Lunch.

From the New York Mail.
The restaurant and hotel men are agi-
tating for law to forbid free lunches
in saloons. 1t would probably be a good
thing for the people in general if free
lunches were not set up in public drink
ing places. but not a very good thing for
the drinking places. The American peo-
pie. and particularly New York people.
eat a great deal too much and the free
lunch stimulates the practice of taking
a nibble between meals. vi ich is deadly
to the digestion. At the same time the
free lunch probably adds to the agree
ableness Of life in the metropolis. and 1t
would be deeply missed and sadly de-
plored by countless thousands.
There are some places in the country
where free lunches are prohibited now.
Los Angeles is one of them 1t might
be good thing for the Senate committee
on expenditures in the Department OF the
Interior to go out to Los Angeles and
investigate the question whether the peo-
pie there are better off or worse off for
not having free lunches.

The Cause of Waterloo.

From the Engineering Magazine.
In one way Napoleon. possessed de-
feet similar to that of Frederick. He
provided no adequate staff to relieve him
self of details.
It is likely that his intense desire to
stand alone, in order to receive all the
credit for what was done was the secret
of MS action.
Although undoubtedly the greatest mill
tary genius that ever lived, he over
reached himself. This is shown in sim
gle enterprise like the Russian campaign:
but it is shown in the life as a whole.
He could probably have accomplished the
anomaly, with the mercurial French, of
founding a personal dynasty upon the
French revolution which beheaded roy
atty and announced the rights of man;
but when he attempted to remake the
map Of Europe he reckOned beyond his
power. He realized that the armies of
the republic had been animated by pas
sion for liberty, equality, fraternity, but
he could not understand that his aggres-
sions upon other countries deprived his
armies of this moral force and implanted
it in his enemies; and that no skill i'm
strategy and tactics could long withstand
it. He would not permit a group of great
administrators and military leaders to
share his honors. and form around him a
cabinet, which might have protected him
against himself. And SO he plunged for
ward, unadvsed. and talking of his star
and destiny, to his Waterloo.

MORE TINE FOR DEALERS.
Extension of Order Affecting Colored
Vegetables.

Orders have been issued from the De-
partment of Agriculture extending for
four months the time tn which preserved
vegetables colored with copper sulphate
may be shipped in interstate commerce.
There was an order issued several
months ago prohibiting the importation
or interstate traffic in such goods. This
was to become effective January 1. The
effect Of the extension order merely viii
be to allow importers in New York and
at other ports to get rid of the colored
canned goods they now have on hand
while the extension order does not come
early enough to allow the importers te
accumulate any additional stock before
the first of the year.
The decision as to the unhealthful char
acter Of copper sulphate as a colorine
matter was made by the Remsen board.

There are some 1900 alien pris-
oners IN the penal institutions Of the
United States. AS
NUMBER OF Aliens sum Ing that it
:, p~:.. costs only 500 q
year to maintain
each Of them, the country must spend
over two and a half million dollars an
nually to keep them. One-fourth Of their
crimes were committed within three
years after their arrival in the United
Staten. 1t is interesting to note the tend
ency of certain nationalities to COM
nit certain forms of crime. Half Of the
crimes committed Dy Italians were of
personal violence, while crimes of this
class were committed by only one-six-
teenth Of the Jewish prisoners. On the
other hand. the Jews committed nearly
twice as many gainful offenses as did the
Italians. Two-thirds Of the offenses Of
which Irish prisoners were convicted
were against public policy. while the
Germans committed much less than half
as many such crimes. On the other hand,
the Germans committed more than twice
as many gainful offenses as the Irish.
And so go the proportions all down the
line.
One nationality makes but q few MUIR
derers, yet it has many foTgers. bur-
glars and thieves. Another nationality
has many men who commit or attempt to
commit murder, and yet Is possessed of
only a few forgers. thieves and burglars.
The distorted idea that the average
American citizen has concerning the
criminal tendencies Of immigrants Is
probably explained by the fact that such

commission Of immigration says they vio-

among the immigrants from southern and

living in boarding houses. where often from
