The young girl who killed herself
through fren0ied alteration of a grand
opera prima donna was probably men
tally deranged and would have killed
herself over any other matter which
affected her imagination. To draw
morals from her fate is superfuous,
says the Baltimore American. The
usual alteration Of the average matt
nee girl for stage idols is a very harm,
less thing which arises from the con,
fusion in an immature mind between
the stage character and the person
representing 1t and wears itself out
in the course of time, leaving no scars
behind, being matter more of amuse,
ment for the idols themselves than
anything else. Even it's illness is q
passing phase, and beyond care to
check its extravagant expression has
nothing for alarm. In cases of really
unbalanced brains, like the one cited,
1t is merely incidental and by no
means a cause in itself.

TO sending their sons to Ireland to re-
ceive their education, the Irish, mid
dle-class schools and colleges being
less expensive than their English
equivalents and without the vicious
attractions which often environ educa-
tional centers In Great Britain. The
result is that the young men usually
secure a better education than if they
were kept on their own side of the
channel. This state of things revives
memories of Ireland's days of glory,
when the green isle was the nursery
of learning for all Europe.

Pupils of the. public schools in a
Pennsylvania town were taken in di-
visions to see moving pictures of the
Panama canal as a way of impressing
upon them their geographical studies.
There does not seem much doubt that
moving pictures will play q large part
in the conduct of the schools in the
future. Their illustrations will sup
plement books to large extent, since
to the childish mind, especially, things
seen are mightier than things heard.

destroys it. We must make c.anges
in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system,
whose object is development, more
free and wholesome development, not
revolution or upset or confusion. We
must build up trade, especially for
eign trade. We need the outlet and
the enlarged field of energy more
than we ever did before. We must
build up industry as we'll and must
adopt freedom In the place Of artl-.
fetal stimulation only so far as it will
build, not pull down. In dealing wit.

may be done will be matter of Judg-
ment, exercised item by item.
To some not accustomed to the ex-
elements and responsibilities OF
greater freedom our methods may IN
some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. 1t is our
business to make sure that they are

be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the

urge nothing upon you now at the

scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty At a later time l may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re-
forms which should press close upon
the heels of the tariff changes, if not
accompany them, of which the chief
is the reform of our banking and cur

For the present, l put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros

FAMILIARITY AID CONTEMPT.

FAMILIARITY AID CONTEMPT.
Familiarity, of course, is term ot
straight Inheritance from "familia,"
the Latin name of family; and 1t is
too bad that word which stands for
the beautiful relationship OF intimacy
in the household should also have
come to do duty for another meaning,
that of disrespect, says the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Why shouldn't ripening
acquaintance hhean a continual aces
sion of reverence? Why is it that mo
man is hero to his valet?" Must 1t
be that only the glazing Deficiencies
and discrepancies progressively ap-
pear instead OF the graces and the vir
tues as the points of high relief in the
closely scrutinized character? In the
ideal family life there is generous
concession, each to each, in the point
of view. There is a real affection
which creates an atmosphere of toll
erance and kindness. The parents
remember that they were not always
as old and as wise as they are now.
They realize that child cannot look
through their own bifocal lenses on
life's problems at quite the same ar
gle or in exectly the same light. Age
with increasing wisdom, the sour
saws" and the Severity" ought to
bring an added disposition to give
youth and impulse the benefit Of the
doubt. Old age and youth may not al
ways agree; January and May arc
additionally at odds; but they can af-
ford to let each other live, and neither
can afford to be condescending. We
are none of us "infallible," said Jew
EFT, mot even the youngest of US"

Guy de Maupassant as a Clerk.

Guy de Maupassant's manner of life
as junior clerk in the French edu-

teresting article by one of his old
colleagues. We gather that he alb
scented himself from his duties on the
ground of illness on an average
about three days a week, and that
was how he obtained leisure for liter
airy composition. None the less he
was very anxious to retain his clerk
ship until his literary prospects were

The boys Of the graded schools are
to have football teams and a football
league all of their own, with the city
championship Of the graded schools as
the big prize to be played for. Sane
toned by Superintendent Palmer, plans
have been made to organize and train
q team Of boys Of each building. Ply
steal Director E. E. Dawkins, Of the
Y. NJ. c. A.. has the training and su-
pervision Of the teams and the players
in charge. He has already had pre-
Iiminary meeting with the boys Of the
Abbott and Woodbury. schools. and has
started them practicing. He will visit
other schools in turn. Teams OF
twenty five boys are to be organized.
During the week practice will be
continued and schedule OF games is
to be arranged for Saturday after
Moons at the fair grounds. 1t Is planned
for each team to play five games IN
the series. Certain requirements, such
as credits and physical fitness will be
demanded before a boy can play. The
lads will be examined by Mr.. Dawkins.
Soccer football Is very similar to the
old kicking game played by boys IN
the streets and vacant lots fifteen or
twenty years ago. The chief difference
between soccer football and the Rugby
game is that in the former the players
are not allowed to carry the ball. 1t
must be kicked. Eleven players con-
stitute the regulation team, but in or
der TO give as many boys as possible
a change to play, the school teams Will
have twenty five players On team.
