ANTIQUITY of HYMNS,

While hymns as We know them to-
day are a comparatively recent limo
vation in church services, they are a
very ancient institution and existed
long before the Christian era. Many
important collections of hymns date
back to about five hundred years be-
fore Christ, though of course hymns
existed long before that period. Among
the collections which have come down
to US from then are the Sanskrit
"Rig-Veda," Chinese Book of Odes, "
the Buddhist Hymns" the Grecian
"Homeric Hymns" and the "Odes Of
Plndar." THE Latin Hymns" or
hymns Of the western church, date
from the fourth to the twentieth cen.

date from the sixteenth century. The
hymns which play so prominent a part
in the services of the modern Protes'
tant churches were not in wide gen,
eral use until about 1S6O-Etude.

SAGE TEA Will
DARKEN THE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair to Ma
tural Color-Dandruf Quickly
Removed.

There is nothing new about the
idea Of using Sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our grandmothers
kept their hair dark, glossy and
abundant by the use of a simple
Sage Tea Whenever their hair
fell out or took on a dull faded or
streaked appearance, they made a
brew of Sage leaves, and applied it
to their hair with wonderful benei-
cial effect.
Nowadays We don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chem
lists better .han we could do it our
selves; and all we have to do is to call
for the ready-made product. Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,
containing Sage in the proper
siren 9Th, with the addition of Sui
phur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful
color and beauty to the hair, and is
one of the best remedies you can use
for dandruf, dry, feverish, itching
scalp, and falling hair. Get a fifty
cent bottle from your druggist today,
and you will be surprised at the quick
results. All druggists sell it, under

Juvenile Thieving.

II Is announced that Judge DeI.acy of
the Juvenile Court is to try to find some
means TO check the prevalence of juvenile
thieving in Washington. In this endeavor
he will have the best wishes of the en-
tire community. In some quarters a
shockingiy low concept of property rights
prevails on the part of boys, and even Of
some small girls. Flowers are stripped
from gardens ruthlessly, often il sheer
vandalism, TO be torn to pieces immedi-
ately and flung into the street. Fruit il
taken from trees in back yards even be-
lore it is ripe, and the trees are broken
by the young looters. 1t is next to impos-
s!ble for householders n certain sections
Of the city 10 raise vegetables in the rear
or dwellings, so alert are the young
thieves-possibly elder ones as WELL
Newspapers are stolen from front door

torches. Other property is picked up IL

called upon 10 deal with numerous cases
of this kind, but for every one that Is
brought there TO attention dozens are I'M
detected and unpublished. The boys
usually go about in squads. and when
they are found at work they scatter and

citizen 10 capture even one of them.
When these raids are conducted by boys
of the immediate neighborhood they can
lie recognized, but the young rascals for

The interest aroused by Newark's ex-

Naturally. educational experts are keep

policy of letting the experiment be open
for the fullest investigation is wise Sug-
gestions and criticism are just what are
needed. Out OF comment fairlymade
and fairly taken comes growth. For this
reason such a visit as that made in the
schools this week by well known educa-
tiOnal authority is especially welcome.
So. too. Is the inspection made by a
representative Of the New York bureau

representative Of the Russell Sage Foun-
dalton Is promised. Every well considered
value. Meantime. II may be said that the
schools are making a good showing. The
results OF the experiment so far are
gratifying to those who believe In the
plan. The attendance at the Seventh
Avenue and Belmont Avenue schools has
heen satisfactory. The health Of the chill
iren has been good. and, like the pupils.
the teachers do not seem to show i'll eff
fects OF summer work. There Is good spirit
at both schools. The summer term,
which began in June. closes next week.
Hundreds Of children have made sub
stantial progress during the past months.
and this amid sanitary, cheerful sur
r0undings. There has been no compul-
sion about the matter The children went

i'm 1896, which helped to bring in Mr.
Mckinley. angered Mr. Bryan deeply. and
in referring to 1t he described the Cleve-
land campaign Of 1892 as having been
"a bunco game" That he had the tariff
matter in mind as feature Of hts descrip-
ton is certain. Such was the popular
opinion then. and it is such today.
Now Mr.. Wilson has done the very
thing that Mr.. Cleveland then did AT
Seagirt he sought to soften the tariff
utterance made at Baltimore. To an even
greater degree than Mr.. Watterson DOM
mated platform matters at Chicago q
score of years ago, Mr.. Bryan dominated
them at Baltimore in June. In fact. he
shaped the whole platform. And quite as
distinctly as the Chicago platform de-
clared for a tariff for revenue only does
the Baltimore platform now declare. And
no more distinctly did Mr.. Cleveland
qualify the one deliverance than has Mr..
Wilson qualified the other.
Do not both Mr.. Watterson and Mr..
Bryan owe some explanation OF the diff
ference they make between the Cleveland
tweedledum and the Wilson tweedledee?
Mr.. Cleveland did not want his party
tried in his third race on the charge of
free trade. No more does Mr.. Wilson
want it tried on that charge in his first
race. If Mr.. Cleveland erred. has not
also Mr.. Wilson? If Mr.. Wilson is justi-
fled, was not also Mr.. Cleveland?
on the subject of the tariff we hear
much about campaigns OF education .
The educa ton the people need relates not
so much to classifications and duties. as
to the value. or the lack of value. of
campaign platforms and campaign
speeches designed almost solely for catch
ing votes in a time of great excitement

Roosevelt, Perkins and Finn.

Mr. Roosevelt was in frank and buoy
ant mood in Boston Saturday. The crowC
was noisy but as he likes noise he ross
70 the hullabaloo easily.
Somebody, with touch OF audacity
wanted to know about Perkins How
about Perkins," And the interrogation
got an answer.
IT seems that even Mr.. Roosevelt was
curious when he found Mr.. Perkins II

mean by giving his support to the arch
enemy of trusts? What was he expect

Cleveland, Wilson and the Tariff.

Mr. Watterson has come into camp on
the tariff issue. Likewise Mr.. Bryan.
Both praise Mr.. Wilson's tariff stand.
The speech OF acceptance suits them. And
set both OF these men denounced Mr..
Cleveland for a course which Mr.. Will
Son has copied.
The Chicago convention of 1892, largely
Ht Mr.. Watterson's instance. declared for
p tariff for revenue only. But in his
letter of acceptance Mr.. Cleveland sought

1--WE wage no war against any American
Interests. We contemplate fair and
careful distribution OF necessary tariff
burdens.

Death on the Rails.

Some time ago several Of the eastern
railway companies undertook to arouse
public sentiment in favor Of the safe
guarding of the railroad rights Of way
by the enactment Of laws Furnishing tres
pass upon the lines. Little advance was
made in this direction. however, as the
public generally has an idea that a railroad
line that Is left exposed to use Is available
as a convenient mode of progression.
Often the railway line Is the shortest
and smoothest path for a pedestrian. and
as long as it can be reached 1t will be
used. notwithstanding the danger. Conse-
quently accidents are numerous Yes
terday a shocking one occurred near
Frostburg, Md. train running into q
party Of men and women walking along
the tracks and killing three and NOR
tally injuring two. These people were
going in the same direction as the train
and were unaware Of its approach until
it was too late to escape.
For such killing responsibility rests
solely upon those who have trespasSed
upon the tracks. But there Is a moral
liability in the case that the railroad
cannot altogether avoid, through leaving Its
tracks open to- access and thus virtually
permitting the use of the lines by walk
ers. AS long as II is easy for the pedes-
trian to reach the rails, in the absence OF
fences or banks, no attention will be
paid 10 general or even to specific warn
ings posted at conspicuous places. II
however, the railroads could have al
trespassers arrested and fined. as car
be done abroad. the practice would b
checked in short order. But with such q
right should and probably would go the
obligation to make the tracks perfectly
safe at the established crossing points.
There will be no legislation to protect
the right OF way of the railroad in tfis
country until the railroad is compelled
to protect the public. AS long as people
are killed at grade crossings. in town and
country, there will be no sentiment to
support a movement to make intrusion
upon the tracks at other points illegal
There are probably. ten deaths at grade

Clark and Underwood.

| 1t seems early to be discussing the
speakership and the floor leadership OF
the next House. but democratic prospects
are so bright members Of that party are
doing So Mr.. Clark is picked for an
other term In the chair, and MIR. Under
wood for another term in the chairman
| ship of ways and means.
They have justified themselves In their
places. Mr. Clark has been fair in the
chair and Mr.. Underwood alert on the
floor. A millennialistic condition has not
been produced in the proceedings OF this
House: but no practical person expected
anything of the kind. 1t has been as
easy TO put the screws on the minority
as in the days of Mr.. Cannon; and the
power has often been exercised. The
majority. being responsible. must do bust
ness; and whether a democrat or a re-
publican yields the gavel. or a democrat
or a republican calls for votes on the
floor, majority rule will prevail. The
insurgents who helped depose Mr. Cannon
made no better trade than those indi-
viduals who snapped Old Nick for a
witch.
II there Is a democratic tidal wave roll
ing, Mr.. Wilson in the White House
both branches; and in that event the or
ganization of the next House will count
for much in the equation. Tariff action
must originate in that body. and both
trust and currency action should. The
man in the chair, therefore, and the
leader on the floor, will focus attention.
Politics was played at the special ses-
sion last year. and has taken up too much
time at this session. But conditions in
vited and favored such maneuvering; and
politicians, whether in office as legis-
lators, or out of office, are intensely hu-
man. But If the next Congress is demo
cratic and charged with the duty of CO.
operating with democratic President.
something more important than party
| tricks must be played. and Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Underwood with their experience
should be able to cut out good work.
A suggestion that Mr.. Wilson might
| call one or other of these men to
his cabinet table has not proved popular.
| Mr.. Underwood's equipment would fully
| meet the exacting requirements Of the
Treasury Department. Opinion is that
both men would do Well to remain where
they are for the present. 1t Is cited that
Mr. Bayard left Congress for a cabinet
office and regretted it: that Mr.. Garland
of Arkansas met with a like fate, while
Mr.. Carlisle, who stood to be the fore
most democrat in the Senate for years.
was enticed from that body, and died DO
litically in Mr.. Cleveland killing shade.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood, 1t is
held, should take notice. and hold fast to
what they now have and are assured OF
being able to retain.
