In Memoriam.

In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear father Edward L. Hunt, who de-
parted this life six months ago the 18th
Gone but not forgotten.
Although he is absent from us,
And six weary months have fled.
Since We stood by his bed in sorrow,
Ana knew our, darling father was
dead.
We love him today, yes, we love him,
Just as well as we did years ago,
We miss him, o, how sadly we miss him.
And ouI hearts are still aching SO.
But one thought comes to US in our
sadness,
He is free from all suffering and pain,
And we trust when our journey rs ended
We will meet our daring father again.
He did his best by everyone.
And every where true friendship won,
But, God, in His Wisdom kind and Just,
Called our dear father away from US,
Ii they ask us, do we mss him,
How it ills our hearts witch pain,
But his voice is sweetlY saying,
Courage. dear children, we shall
meet again.
BY his daughter,
r. 4.

Plants Have Mother Principle

There is mother principle alive in
all nature which never dies. This is
different from the mother instinct. the
mother passion. The oak and the
amoeba respond to the mother princi-
pie. 1t is law of life; it is one of
the constants Of being. The mother
instinct or passion, on the other hand.
occurs only among the higher ami
mails; occurs not sporadically quite,
for it is common enough, yet while
generally found, and while one Of the
strongest, most interesting, most beau
tiful Of animal traits, it is at the same
time the most individual and the least
constant.
This cow OF my neighbours that I
hear lowing is an entirely gentle crea.
ture, ordinarily, but with a calf at her
side she will pitch at anyone who ap-
proaches her. And there is no other
cow of the herd who mourns so long
when her calf is taken away. The
mother in her is stronger, more endur-
ing, than in any of the other 10 in the
barn. In my own cow 1t is hardly more
than blind principle, hardly advanced
beyond the OAK trees feeling for its
acorns, or the amoeba's for its divid
ed self.-Dallas Lore Sharp in the At
lantic Monthly.

Cabinet Officers Are Patrons of Lunch Rooms

<SC ONE OF the members OF the cab

reducing the cost of living to figures
within their incomes" said Col Rich
ard Ryan of Denver the other day.
In my trips to Washington In the
last 20 years l have observed that
can get pretty good quality OF but
termilk at some of the dairy lunch
rooms. but l was somewhat surprised
recently to find at my elbow in one OF
these lunch rooms the secretary of
the treasury. Mr.. McAdoo. and two
days ago | stood shoulder to shout
der with Secretary Of War Garrison.
Il wonder IL the people of Wash
iugton know that the milk and pie
lunch room is peculiarly a Washing
ton institution and that former sec
rotary OF the treasury, more than any
otner person. was responsible for its
popularity? In the seventies, the late
Frank Ward opened the first OF these
lunch rooms I'm the Corcoran building
on Fifteenth street. 1t was not a
big success at first. but one day John
Sherman. secretary of the treasury In

"Siphon" Sisson.

Thomas Upton Sisson, member Of
congress from the Fourth district of
Alabama, is destined to go down In his

eff we must have war;" he declared,
cor submit to this indignity, l am for
war"
Later, In the tariff debate, Repre-
sentative Johnson OF Washington, re-
proving him for this speech, called at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Sisson had
voted last year against a battleship
program, and then he referred to the
southerner as the sizzling solon from
the Mississippi, Mir. Sisson."
If that doesn't sound like a siphon
bottle, what does? The resemblance
caught the fancy of the cloakroom con-
gressional kidders, and they are ring
ing the changes on it whenever Mr..
Sisson happens along.

Western Medicines in China.

In China, western ideas are going
ahead. a proof of this is that the
European medicine chest has been
adopted. DR. WI Lien Teh tstill
known at Cambridge, where he took
his degrees, as &c. l.. Tuck"). the d.
rector OF the plague prevention serv-
ice organized by the Chinese govern
ment, recently came to England to
read a paper ct the International
Medical Congress on his work in
North China II wish the use OF
Chinese medicines was dying out as
quickly as We expected he said:
but the people are saturated with
oldfashioned ideas, and it will take
some time to eradicate them. Still.
he added. western treatment is max
ing Roadway. especially in surgery
and there are great many European
trained doctors now practicing among
the Chinese. The general stage OF
medicine in China is about compar
able to what 1t was In Europe 80 or
so years ago. A significant sign OF
progress is that the old-fashioned
physicians are coming to our service
and asking western trained men &c
give them lectures and advice. while
the people themselves are taking IN

New Bed of Scailops.

The demand for sea food is a per-
sistent and an increasing one, so
much so that in some lines the sup
ply is threatening with extinction.
This Is particularly true OF the lob
ster, which is every year becoming
scarcer and consequently dearer. and
even the succulent clam is not found
in its former abundance in those
haunts TO which it once gave fame.
But the scallop is a good substitute.
and the report just made TO the Sec
rotary OF commerce that bed OF the
giant variety, thirty miles wide and
extending from Rhode Island to the
Virginia capes, has been found. Is
very reassuring. The common kind
are plenty enough. but they are only
half as large as the giant variety. and
not accounted SO great delicacy.
This new source OF supply is regard
ed as practically inexhaustible, and II
Is not likely to have an Immediately
lowering effect upon the price OF q

NEW LANGUAGE HAS EVOLVED
Americans in the Philippines Have
Departed In Large Measure From
Familiar Tongue.

Fifteen years ago the American flag
first fioated over a Malay archipelago
in the far Pacific. Spanish was the
current speech among the upper class
es there. The common people spoke a
dozen different dialects-unintelligi
one to the other.
We came, saw and possessed, and,
shortly after the flag, boatloads OF
teachers arrived with the school books
and pedagogy of the west.
The teachers brought American lit
erature with them. They brought
American songs. American games,
American ideas and American ideals
and they brought the American man
ner of speech.
Meanwhile reflex action was quiet
ly at work. Without realizing it the
newcomers were being influenced by
the new land and the new people.
New methods of living were en-
forced on the Americans Their rules
of health did not always apply. Day
after day they were surrounded by
people observing strange customs, fol-
lowing a totally different moral code
and speaking an unfamiliar tongue.
Gradually the customs became less
strange, the moral code less different
and the tongue less unfamiliar While
endeavoring to establish their ways
and methods, the Americans uncon-
sciously were yielding to the ways and
methods of the country.
Many things of great value in the
old order had no place in the new In
particular the old manner of speech
often failed to convey the meaning in
tended
The Americans daily encountered
things they had no names for. They
met conditions which could not be apt
ly described in their own tongue The
Filipino obligingly furnished the name
or expression from some one Of his
vernaculars and it passed into the cur
rent speech Of the American.
Then certain officials, trades, articles
Of clothing and food that had names in
English would be repeatedly referred
to by the Filipinos in their own dia-
lect when they talked with their teach
ers. Gradually the teachers came to
| use the same expressions.
We have been separate nation
from England for over 100 years and
our Americans have been In the Phil
| ippines only Is. Yet the language
spoken by Americans differs more
from United States English than does
the English of London.-American Re-
view of Reviews.
