Higher Living Lower Ideals.

W ~ HoWelIs, IN harpers Magazine.
The time was. easily within the
recollection Of any man who has sur
vived his generation. when the Ameri-
can ideal was higher living instead of
the higher-cost living which comes Of
greed for the cheapening Of the crea-
ture comforts. the grossly appreciate
advantages, material, mental and moral
Yet our present recrudescence is not
wholly ungenerous, IL our lower ideal
Is that not a few but all share these
advantages; that none shall be left
behind or aside in the race for them.
But undeniably we had once fineness
OF ideal from which the present ideal
mas coarSened. In that former time
our literature expressed a longing for
the beauty which is truth; neither
Longfellow, nor Lowell, nor Whittier
could be content with the lovely line
alone, its curve must lead to the strait
and narrow path which few find, but
none need miss; 1T was sometimes even
forced to this Office. The clear, cold
voice of Emerson called from the
crystal air of Concord in the duteous
accents which we seem to fail of in
the voices OF Indianapolis and our other
literary centers. The greatest novel
of that day, the best seller of almost
any day. famed from a passionate ardor
for humanity. The incompatible ro-
mances of Hawthorne bore a message
to the conscience of every reader. II
a vote upon the question put by our
contemporary had been taken in that
day. would none of these authors have
been elected among the ten whom their
countrymen could least spare? Or
would not Claiming. Beecher, Parker
Hale, have been remembered as our
benefactoTs along with the first cleo
tricians, reformers, philanthropists and
scientists Of their different epochs?

EATING ON THE TRAIN.
Sensible Folk Feel Free to Garry
Their Own Supplies.

From the Lawrence American.
1t used to be said by arbitrator of So
cial customs that you could not eat on
q train. That is, unless you go through
the machinery of the dining car. with Its
full restaurant equipment, tipping the
waiter and paying the bill. If the price
happened to be more than vacationist's
pocketbook could stand, why you should
hustle around and earn more money.
Eating a lunch in the ordinary car was
common"
Perturbed souls who are affected by
such social DEGREES may take some COM
fort in recent announcements by news
paper opponents of good form. They
say the ban on q railroad journey picnic
is not SO drastic as formerly. 1t is said
that the Automobiles are the. cause OF
the change.
Tourists by motor car are not all J. P.
Morgans. Some have to pare and prune
very carefully to finance the gasoline
bill. Not all Of them put up along the
way at the roadhouses that scramble
for the automobile dollars like children
for pennies. Safely concealed in ham,
pers. many of them carry democratic lay
outs Of ham. sandwiches and grape juice.
Once the simple habit of childhood is
reacauired it may persist even on a rail-
road journey. Travelling is tiresome work.
Often the headachy tourist merely
wants slice of toast and a cup of tea.
But on some railroads you can't get past
the diners gilded threshold without pay
ing 81 for each. from grandma down to
the three-year-old. plus twenty-five-cent
tips all around. Under such circun-
stances a picnic lunch seems the COM
mon sense thing.
The day coach picnickers may eat q
simple and nourishing luncheon and may
gather up their crumbs and fold up their
paper napkins. The more stately diners
may shovel down ill-assorted and over
seasoned courses. "Commonness' con-
sists not SO much where you eat as how.

Anniversary Of Great War
rior's Burial.

NEW YORK, August 9.--!The anniver-
sary Of the funeral Of Gen. Ulysses s.
Grant, which occurred August s. 1885,

Grants tomb on Riverside drive yester-
day and placed q wreath on the great
marble casket. Every year Rabbi
Browne has come from his home in Bos-
ton on the anniversary day to pay his
respects to the memory OF Gen. Grant
in this manner. In other years, however,
he has had Frederick Grant and Gen.
Stewart l.. Woodford to accompany him,
but the latter have both been removed by
death.
Lingering for an hour in the mauso-
leum yesterday, the aged rabbi recited to
visitors stories Of the hero Of Appomat-
tox, and told Of Incidents Of Gen. Grants
remarkable funeral. Rabbi Browne, who
is strictly an orthodox Jew, refused to
ride with the other pallbearers on the
day of the funeral, because 1t fell on the
Jewish Sabbath, and he walked alone
beside the carriage In which the others
rode the whole ten miles from city hall
to the tomb.

ELECTRIC IRONS SECRET.
Metal Gets Hot Without an Out
ward Sign of Fire.
From the Electric News.

From the Electric News.
Thousands Of women are using electric
f1atfrons every week. but there Is only
now and then one who can tell just how
the iron acquires its mysterious heat.
At the witch Of a switch the iron begins
to get hot and 1t stays at just the right
temperature during the entire time it
takes to do the ironing. without any out
ward sign of fire, flame or heat
But how does 1t get hot?' asked the
visitor as she watched her friend using
an electric iron on the back porch.
"Oh." laughed Mrs. c., lit is really very
simple
Simple calculated her guest. why. ]
should be afraid to use it without know

course. 1 understand it has something to
do with electricity but it isn't at all like
an electric light"
Jack has explained it all to me-" said
Mrs. c.. land you know he works at the
electric plant. The electricity which flows
over the wires is quite invisible. Wnen
YOU turn the switch for an electric lamp
the electricity flows into the lamp and
through the tiny filament, causing 1t TO
get very hot. When this filament Is heat
ed to incandescence 1t gives forth hsnt
rays. This fatiron is built on that very
same principle. When | turn the niue
switch the electricity flows down this
long flexible cord. which IL really TWO
wires covered with silk. to the iron.
Concealed in the bottom OF the iron is
fiat disk Of metal 1t Is rather leaf,
or a punching, over which the electricity
must travel to get back to its source
This heating unit, or leaf. performs the
same purpose as the filament In the cleo
trio lamp. In passing through this DISK
the electricity makes 1t quite hot. rms
heat radiates from the disk to the race
of the iron. BY accurate engineering cal
culation this metal disk Is made just the
right size so that iron Will remain the
same temperature as long as needed:
But l don't see how electricity makes
the little disk hot" protested the guest
That is not 80 easy to explain. ac-

electric current The electricity has to
force its way over this partial obstruction
in its path. In forcing its way past this
resistance a portion Of the electrical en-
