SOUTH AFRIcA's LESSON.

After the conquest of South Africa the British party which provoked and carried through the war would have been pleased to establish the van uuished republics as possessions of the crown, without rights and with the smallest measure of self-govern- ment. Fortunately for both British and Boers, a more enlightened party came into power, and, against the bitter protests of the Boer-baiers, gave South Africa independence as a self governing member of the British en- pire.
 The result has been large d'min- ution of race antipathy. Britons and Boers live amicably in the Boer gov erned realm. And the Boer govern ment, in Britain's time of great need, proves the national gratitude by standing loyal and putting down the rebellion led by few irreconcilables.
 It is certain almost beyond the shadow of a doubt that had the Boers been treated as a conquered and an inferior people they would now be in arms against Great Britain. They would have bided their time and watched for their first opportunity for revenge. They would now be able al lies of the Germans, remembering both the oppression of the British and the undisguised sympathy of the Ger man emperor at the time of the Boer war.
 The reward of national generosity cannot be measured except in time of national emergency. In the South African instance it is not so much the British nation as a dominant political party which has merited the grati- tude of which the entire empire is beneficiary.

THE "WHY" OF A "H0T BOX" "
\ Railroad Official Says tho Cause ls
 Simply Carelessness.

\ Railroad Official Says the Cause Is
 Simply CareIessness.
 In answer to the question What is 8 hot box?" Kansas City Southern off, 1cial has the following to say:
 "A hot box is sign that the safety first rule is not practiced by some car department man.
 There is no excuse for hot box after a car is sent out if the train. is carefully looked over by the car men at each terminal. Primarily hot box is caused by poor waste and an in- sufficient 'greasing' at the time it should have been done. and there Is no excuse for one. A hot box is ha- ble to cause a wreck. and wreck on most railroads costs money. much more than the price of sufficient quantity of waste and oil and grease to protect the journals of the car wheels.
 "The farmer who buys new wae- on or a buggy has a pretty good idea of what hot box means and the ways to prevent it. When he buys new wagon he sees to it that the spin dle is well greased so it will not get hot. He watches it closely and does not take any chances on the wheels running hot. The farmers wheels on his new wagon or buggy would stick, and if he persisted in driving ahead he would soon have bad spindle and a bad wheel.
 "However, the results would not be so disastrous as they would be in a train of cars running at speed of fifteen or twenty miles an hour. It's no wonder that trainmen use language unfit for Sunday school class when they find hot box in their train. They know thut some one has been careless and shirking in his work and that he is to blame."-New York Post.

MENDEL'S LAW.

 The following beautifully clear sum- mary of the principles of mendelism Is due to the Rev. w. Wilks. the fa- nous horticuturist who developed the Shirley poppy:
 If you cross pure yellow and pure green peas either way-it matters not which is seed bearer and which pollen bearer--you will get all yellow seeds. If you SOW these hybrid seeds. each will, if it germinates, produce plant which will bear, say. forty seeds. th1r- ty of which will on the average be yell low and ten green. The green. if sown and sown and sown for countless gen. erations. will always bear green seeds true to the original green parents tbar- ring the always possible intervention of insects).
 Not so the thirty yellow. These when sown will on the average pro- duce ten plants bearing all pure yellow seeds. which will be constant and true to the original yellow parent for count less generations. The remaining twen- ty plants will be impure yellow. each plant producing. on the average. one quarter of its seeds pure yellow, one quarter pure green and one-half im- pure yellow. which last will repeat the process and proportion practically for ever.

HELPING THEMSELVES.

It is announced from London that Belgians have contributed the sum of $3,OO0,00O to aid in the work of relieving Belgian distress. Consider ing the condition of Belgium at this time such a contribution is not only generous but even amazing. Where is the Belgian wealth from which $3,- 000,000 can be contributed.
 Belgian industry is non-existent. Belgian agriculture has been abandon ed. The country has become one vast battle ground, and battle grounds do not produce wealth. Large fortunes have been destroyed; families of con- fortable means have been plunged to the depths of poverty. It would be no reproach were Belgium now na tion of paupers. Belgium thrift and energy are proverbial, but people which has had it's land transformed into a field of blood can be neither thrifty nor energetic for the time be- ing,
 No one doubts that the Belgians will in time recover from the fright full calamity which has befallen them. They are made of the right stuff. The free gift of $3,00O,000 by Belgians who have managed to save something from the nations wreck is an admirable indication of the Belgian spirit.
 Charges that the Belgians, having aroused the sympathy of the neutral world and notably of America, are content to become recipients of char ity cannot be borne out by facts. Where this work is to be done the Belgians will do it. They will help themselves to the best of their abil- ity, but that ability must for some time be pitifully small. There can be no question of the worthiness of the afflicted people. They deserve all the aid that the United States can render them-Ex.

means what it seems to mean. Last years phenomenal figures were sub- ject to an offset in the movement of capital which is lacking this year, and will be lacking hereafter. It is a real and nearly irreducible balance in our favor, and it will puzzle our foreign customers to keep their ac- count balanced unless we take their notes in settlement.
 Last year we were skimping our importations because we did not feel prosperous, and we were stimulating our exports to pay our debts abroad. This year that is exactly reversed It is our foreign friends who are skimp- ing their imports, and stimulating their exports, at reductions in price we may be sure, looking at the for eign exchange market. In volume Of trade our foreign business is satisfac- tory, and it is steadily improving. Be- ginning with April there was an ex- cess of imports for four successive months and we were exporting gold in volume no other country could have endured. In September there was an excess of exports of merchandise of $17,OOO,OOO, and in October we add ed $4O,O00,00O to that figure.
 Our foreign trade is quite as good as our transatlantic customers can afford te have it. or as we ought to wish it. We ought to have some mercy for their troubles. We ought rather to wish to see our domestic trade as near to the mark as our for eign trade Then we should have tru- ly good times, and little left to wish for.-New York Times.

OUR PROSPEROUS FOREIGN
 TRADE.

There was an increase of imports by $5,038,476 during October, and a decrease of exports by $76,577,612. The result is a decrease of our ex- cess of exports from $138,912, 1892 last year to $57,3O5,O74. The showing is, nevertheless, encouraging, because the comparison with last year is unfair. The year 1913 stood in class by itself, owing to an unusual increase in exports and decrease in imports. There is no precedent for such an ex- cess of exports in October as last years. This years excess of exports is much more nearly normal, and

Production Of Music n.
Practical Participation in
the Art.

Has II ever occurred 20 you that
people do not care TO participate in the
pleasures of music in the same way as
they used TO? Is IL because the young
err generation possesses less OF inc
artistic temperament than IT'S Tore
bears? Or is ~ because the phono-
graph. the player-pisno and orchestrion
have attained such a degree or excel
lence that the average person now pre-.
fers 70 listen rather than to perform
Music that is produced automatically
may afford great satisfaction TO those
whose senses can be casually appealed
70. and who do not possess talent or
ability or inclination 10 gain an IN
sight into the science Of music. Ihe
rhythm Of a popular air, few cadences
from a well known opera, verse OF
a patriotic song acquired as the result
Of early school experiences sometimes
comprise the entire musical repertory
Of the modern young man or woman.
To those who love music for mu-
sizes sake it is incOmprehensible that
there are people who have little II any
liking or even appreciation OF It's
beauties. II is fact that many great
geniuses whom the world has known
have been totally without appreciation
Of music.
Hume, DR.. Johnson. Sir Walter Scott,
Robert Peel and Lord Byron had no ear
for music, and neither vocal nor lnstru-
mental music gave them the slightest
pleasure. To the poet Rogers 1t gave
actual discomfort. Even the harmoni-
Gus Pope preferred the harsh disso-
nance Of a street organ 70 the render
ing Of HandePs oratorios. Notwlth-
standing the decline during the last
one o. two decades in popular partlcl-
patiOR in musical study, he American
peopl6 as a whole have warm love for
music. When the glamour or novelty Of
the reproduction Of music By mechani-
cal means has worn off many believe
that there will be a popular reyersion
20 a taste for music produced by the
individual as the result Of an innate
love for the beautiful and the refined,
and the desire for participation IN the
artistic and aesthetic things Of life.
The Conservatives or music, OF
which there are many, and The private
schools are doing = great deal TO Gull
tivate the artistic temperament OF the
people. and they can do more If they
wish. A campaign Of publicity under
taken by musical leaders and others
interested in the musical art would
do much 10 arouse 2 dormant interest
and sentiment. Shakespeare says in
Twelfth Night:
IF music be the food Of love, play
on;
Give me excess Of it,
Music has a meaning beyond the
mere production Of rhythmical sound.
Music means refinement, and close as
ISOLATION with it appeals to the high
est and most aesthetic sensibilities.
However. apart from consideration Of
the study Of music with the object of
obtaining professional or artistic eX-
cellence, it is a good thing for the
youth Of this country. male and fe-
male. to cultivate musical tastes and
to be able, if only for the purposes Of
enhancement and diversion, to par
ticipate in the rendering of music. 1t
