The "Safe and Sane" Fourth Of
july INDICATED.

The record Of last Friday completes the vndlca-
ton of the safe and sane celebration of the Fourth
Of July. 1t was only few years ago that Inc
Tribune's urgings of such reform seemed much IKE
q voice in an unsympathetic wilderness; noticed
largely to be dissented from by those to whom cee-
bration was Synonymous with trecrackers and pa
triotism thing to be expressed in terms OF noise
To-day statistics show the truth of our forecast
that safe and sane practices would at the same
time increase popular interest and participation i'll
the anniversary and diminish toward the vanishing
point the dreadful array of killings, maiminGs and
burnngs which had made the day more costly than
the war whose beginning it commemorated
The latter part of the proposition first. Pending
the complete statistics which will be forthcom-
ing here are immediate returns from the eight I'M
portant and representative cities of Boston, Chcago
Cincinnati Cleveland Kansas City, Los Angeles
New York and Philadelphia, with collective popu-
lation of eleven millions On July 4, 1913 under the
safe and sane rule Killed, nome; injured, 143.
On July f. 1908, the last year before the safe
and sane" rule began to be practised; Killed, %;
injured go Such figures require no comment.
At the same time though for obvious reasons sta
tistics are not so readily available it will not be
disputed by any intelligent observer that there mas
been a comparable increase in the popular regard
of the anniversary Never in the old days OF noise
and stencil and arson were there such outpourlngs
of the populace to honor the day as were seen on
Friday last at the City Hall and at score of cen
tres throughout this city and in other cities towns
and hamlets all over the land, for even in rural
villages the new order has been established. And
no wonder for there was not then any attraction IN
the day comparable with the charms which were
this year offered to both eye and ear.
1t is a worthy achievement at once credtaDle
from the moral and profitable from the material
point of view. It's gain to the nation. reckoned
in pecuniary values of life, limb and property Is
enormous. It's gain in the intellectual and ethical
uplift from the brutal to the rational from an lg-
norant orgy Of barbarc noise and devastation to an
intelligent enlistment of the best qualities Of civil
cation in the nations browning festival is inestl-
mable and must surely prove enduring.

STUBBORN BRITISH STOCK
A London Assertion Is Queried by a
Celt.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l note in to-day's Tribune that
THE London Times" speaking Of the
Battle OF Gettysburg. described II as
fought between people who were OF the
most stubborn British stock"
Commenting on that same battle. The
London Times" said in 1868: Indeed
Ireland is much more American and
America much more Irish than English
people are apt to conceive. The great
majority OF the white population OF
America is of Irish descent. 1t is the
Irish element that has long governed
the politics Of the Union"
But doubtless we Irish will become
good British stock in proportion as we
promise to be masters of the situation.

Doctors Fees of Old

Doctors nowadays don't get so
much more than they used to get.
At the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the usual fee to a graduate
in physic was about $3.50, though he
usually asked twice that amount Old
Sawbones, who was only a licensed
physician, couldn't very we'll expect
more than $1.66. though he usually
had hopes Of getting $3.50 a visit. A
surgeons fee was quarter a mile,

and to that charge he added a quarter
for blood-letting, and II the patient
wanted his arm or leg cut of It cost
him $25.

PRIVILEGE OF BEING AN Ass

New York Magistrate Who Fined
Student Thought Otherwise.

Compared to the inalienable right to
make fool OF yourself, the right Of

claim the most cherished one, is Of
small concern in the average person
OF all places where some restraint
on the former might be expected New

In the act OF standing still under an

Of course. was qualifying for fratern-
ity. He looked fooHsh-es was tho

acQuiesced.
But" Quoth the police magistrate
ponderously, mo fraternity has tight

the whole chapter could be hailed into
court that he might fine them all. Con-
sidering In how many ways New York
invites young men to make asses of

themselves without molestation, why

Tho Flowing of Metals.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that one of the most important
properties of metals employed in
striking coins and medals and
stamping articles of jewelry is that
Of flowing under pressure. Standard
silver is remarkable for this prop
erty. The flow takes place when
the metal is subjected to rolling,
stamping or hammering, and the
particles of metal are thus carried
into the sunken parts of the die
without fracturing, and a perfect
impression is produced.

Mate Tea.

Although most of the worlds cof-
fee is grown in South America,
there are some South American
states where it is hardly drunk at
all. In no country is coffee 80
dear as in Argentina, for the sim-
pie reason that only foreigners ask
for it. The natives of Argentina
drink mate or Paraguay tea, as it
is sometimes called. Among the
working classes thi is drunk as
freely and frequently as beer in
England. And after dinner, in
stead of coffee, many Argentine
housekeepers serve a basin of soup,
which guests from abroad find some
difficulty in swallowing. Attempts
have been made to popularize mate
in Europe, but these have never
proved successful.-London Chron-
icle.

For several minutes a Plain Civil

STRANGE London FIoura.

A few years ago there used to stand
on the pavement Of Oxford street In
all weathers venerable white-haired
gentleman, dressed respectfully In
high hat and frock coat, who accosted
each member Of the throng Of sun
worshipers, moving eastward in tho
morning, westward In the evenings,
uttering In quick tone OF deep con-
Germ the single phrase, 1.-THE time is
short! The time 10 short!" No one
stopped to listen to the old revivalist,
or cared to hear the further words of
warning which he would have given,
for all knew that he prated OF things
that did not really matter to the soEi.

RULES OF LIFE.

My method is the freshest,
Oldest simplest and usefulest.
Forget the past. forget the fu-
ture. Life Is a habit as hard
or as easy to acquire as any
other In life. I'm no genius. Ny
friends have found that out.
But take no thought for the fu-
ture nor the past. When the
load Of tomorrow is added to the
load OF yesterday many men fall
ter on the way. The hrst TWO
hours Of day determine that
day. Quit tobacco and liquor.
Bright eyes are the thing. The
control Of the mind as q work
ing machine is the end OF all
education. This can be accom-
plished with deliberation. The
most>Rtriking thing about Amer
lea is it's hurry. Europeans ac-
cornplish just as much without
that everlasting rush.-Dr. VIII

have that Joy abide 30 flxedly that It
