GRATIFYING RESULTS.

There im cause for eradication over the reports which come from the va rfous sections of the country. relative to the modified celebration of the Fourth. It is one thing to start such q movement and another to have it succeed, but from the very beginning tho desired results have been secured in this safe and sane undertaking. and it has grown in strength and favor from year to year.
 Thus when 1t is announced that there were fifteen deaths and 806 se- rious cases of injury last Saturday, 1t reveals n remarkable curtailment from a year ago when the fatalities mum bered thirty-two and the injured reached total of 11a1. The new and sensible way of celebrating the day has made it's appeal and the influence of the effort Is steadily spreading for the relief of those who recklessly place themselves in danger and those who are close tp. them. The decrease in the amountf iof suffering. anxiety and needless expense is worth striving for.
 Just how much more of reduction can be made in these figures is dif- fcult to estimate. Accidents always have happened and they always will to a certain extent under the most careful circumstances. but the realiza- ton of the benefits which are to be gained through care, and that just az much patriotism can be displayed under sane conditions is bound to have It's influence Celebrations are con- tagious and if the popularity of dam gerous methods can be eliminated a powerful aid In the reform has been secured.

DUTY OF THE HOME.

The expressions before the conven- tion of the National Education asso- citation relative to the teaching Of sex hygiene in the schools coincides with the sentiment which has prevailed throughout the country. It is not to be supposed that such important du- ties are to be thrust upon the schools with attendant dangers, when they should be assumed by the home, and the condemnation which such proposal met before the association was entire- ly justified.
 The growing disposition for the shirking of responsibilities in the home does snot deserve to be encouraged Far greater good can be done by stim- ulating and supporting the standard of influence which the home should have. It is not to be supposed that such subject can be taught to a gathering of young people of varying natures with the beneficial results which are sought. No two natures are alike and the knowledge thereof calls for the presentation of sex hygiene in a manner which will receive rever- ential consideration. Such can best be done in the home for as pr. Keene said: We should have but the strong est condemnation of the wealthy club going woman who ;. has not time to teach her child the fundamental truths of life and would throw the respon- sibility upon teacher or football coach"
 There seems to be no division upon the point that it is a matter which should be taught. but it should be taught wisely if it is going to do more good than harm. and such must be the aim.

1.f her of deputies when he declared that the Mexican delegates had been in- formed that-if an agreement could be perfected with the rebels assuring the peace of the country. Huerta would hmm ediately reestabflsh all constitu- tional guarantees and resign his po- attion as president. Is uncertain.
 How much faith the rebels can be made to take in such a stand by Huer- ta is d question. They have had ex- arnpaes of his actions. but there are means by which the vario1s steps contemplated could be safeguarded aud in the meantime. until such actually takes place, no loss of strength or position need be suffered by the constitptionalists. Though the prospects for peace are not looming up particularly bright. if necessity Is to guide them, it should be brought about. and the ineviteble thereby has, tened

CONSUMER GETS NO BENEFIT.

- ' ' With the importation of a shipment of corn from Japan we are told that there need not be alarm, because it is commodity with which Japan Is seldom abundantly supplied and that there is little danger of 1t ever get ting to the point where the land of the mikado can expect to participate in furnishing this country's needs in that line. It is noticeable fact, how ever, that this Japanese product brought the same price as American grown corn There was no reduction because it came from across the water. 1t came in free and it brought Ameri- can prices. Such is but another in- stance of the lowering of the taFin bar for the benefit of the people of this country. without any benefit be- ing received.
 While the desire Is and should be. to. get food as low as possible, it is shown by this shipment of corn, as well as by other goods which have been brought into this country under similar conditions that the removal of the tariff has not resulted to the ben edt of the consumer but the Ameri- can market has been opened to the foreign business for an increased profit for the shipper or the intermediary handlers. The tariff has not lowered the price. It has not adjusted condi- tions so that the supply equals the demand, but it has since it's operation resulted in reduction in revenue of s23, 100000. This is the difference be- tween what would have been collect ed under the former revenue basis and what was actually secured. It should represent a saving to the people to that amount. but corn and other deals show that this goes to the foreign shippers.

Today there are 1e,2s7 officers and and enlisted men in the United States Marine Corps. In these days of peace they are guarding the mil lions of dollars worth of public property in the United States navy yards, naval stations and arsenals. They are scattered about the earth wherever the American flag is fly ing-in the Philippines. Hawaii. Guam, Porto Rico and the Panama Canal Zone. Today they are watch fully waiting the outcome of the situation in Mexico. They form at least 8 per cent. a regulation of the navy so providing, of the crew aboard all battleships and first-ciass cruisers. While fraternizing so- eiably with the sailors they are the official police of the ship, having authority to enforce regulations and order. In times of war, they are the first soldiers to land on foreign shores. frequently in the face of deadly fire. They were the first to brave the fire at Vera Cruz. in Me araugua in iel2, and at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, fn 1898. The modern marine is equipped with the latest invented implements of war. They are trained to transport and operate the wireless telegraph and tele- phone, portable searchiights. sub marine mines and toFpedoes. rapid fire guns and light artillery.

(Written Especially for The Bunetin.l
 A letter from an old friend tells me of their annual froiic in the barn. She lives in the suburbs of large city and belongs to club which meets often during the year for recreation rather than mental improvement Most of their number are brain workers dur- ing the day. and prefer amusement of an evening. They alAo, most of them- live where they have no outdoor sur roundinEs and profess to be very hap py in being where they can put their feet on the ground. Now 1t chances that their hostesses, two sisters. have on their premises an unusual barn. This Is cleaned and trimmed up for the occasion and a rarely good time they have there. They are not above en- toying simple pleasures, and the lemonade. candy and peanuts furnished during the afternoon are appreciated by all, old and young for the club in- cludes a variety of ages
 Then, comes the supper later on, al- SO served in the barn. No caterers banquet decks the tables. but home made dainties. toothsome and inviting, are the foundation of the feast. which is garnished by the good appetites of the guests and the lively jest and ready wit of all who partake. What a jolly crowd they are and every one does his share to help swell the mer- rirnent. Practical jokes and personal allusions are not resented but only add to the fun. The feast ended. all turn to and clear away the dishes, for their is little else to clear away. To many of their number this is part of the frolic for they seldom have a chance to encounter any domestic duty like dish washing. Perhaps they would not find it so enjoyable, if it were fre- quent and compulsory. We say then it is monotonous drudgery.
 Supper and it's evidences are soon put aside. and the old barn Is lighted

suppRessrNe THE ANARCHISTS.


 The decision which has been an- notirced by the mayor of New York prohibiting the parade which the an- archists had planned for that city today, to martyrize. those members who were killed by their own in- strument of death, is in accordance with the course indicated for the curb ing of such dangerous agitators Those who were caught in their own death trap were operating against the law and order of the community Osten- sibIy aimed at wealth, the blow which they were preparing was against hu- ranity, social order. civilization.
 This affair as well as the whole propaganda deserves to be decrfed in etead of encouraged. As the New York Sun we'll says: The miscreants who appFOve the project and desire to praise it may go into their own cens and give vent to their maIignity for the benefit of such perverts Of reason and right as may choose to listen. but to allow the public streets to be used to rnlosize public enemies is unthink- able. No permit can be issued for such a purpose. No federation can be given it As well grant a license for the crime itself as for the defense and celebration of it. The municipal au- thcrities are right in sternly forbid dlrE this outrage. The police will have public opinion behind them with out limit in the steps they may take fn the way of prevention"
 The bomb which raised this issue was the result of the policy which has been maintained in the past The authorities have weii realized that Ieniency should be replaced by firm- ness for the public welfare, and 1t is a step in the right direction.

It does not receive as much support as 1t should from the com munities in general. and yet when a person is attacked or injured or his property has been damaged he de- mands as his right the protection and given the consideration that belongs to them and the work they are ex- pected to perform But it is good to know that the situation is improving, that the average scitizen is becoming more appreciative. that the time is coming when public service will be better understood and that the police man. like all others. will receive his due need of praise for the good work which he performs in darkness and daylight. in storm and fair weather New Britain Herald

THEN andNOW

One hundred and sixteen years ago today the United States Ma rine Corps came into existence by act of congress. This act marked the reincarnation of that gallant body of Continental Marines who won the first fight in the history of the regular navy on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas at the beginning of the American Rev olution. They fought the British tars all through the war, manning the Long Toms" which poured frightful broadsides. while the American soldiers handled the sails of the privateers. When peace came. they, like all other branches of mil itary service. were retired by the Continental congress. The modern marines took their places when war with France threatened the United States in 179S. The act establish ing the corps provided for T20 privates, 129 officers and 32 drum mers and fife players. Clad in unl- forms similar to those of land soldiers. they reved the seas in all parts of the earth. They supported the flag in the war with Tripoh. They fought gallantly in the war of lsia, and Waged war against the Mexicans both aboardship and as a part of the land army under General Scott. They won gallant distinction on land and sea in the American Civil War.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
CHASING THE RAINBOW.


 According to an old and pleasant legend, a pot of gold is to be found at the end of the rainbow. It is prob able that, since time began, sundry simple-minded folk and children have diligently sought for treasure at a spot where the shining arch seems to touch the earth
 We smile at the fancy even while we ourselves may be eherishing one equally childish. Plenty of worldly wise folk there are who simply re- verse the process and, obtaining the pot or gold, expect it to lead them to the rainbow.
 Along the line of this quest no less than of the first disappointment may easily lie. The pot of gold is not cer- tain to have Q rainbow attachment Money by no means always bathes life In rosy colors. Cash is not an absolute guarantee of comfort.
 It Is a matter on which about eight people cut of ten in this rushing world need to be set right Money is con- fessedly so desirable a possession that We expect of it more than it has the power to give.
 In plain fact what money gives is not power to be happy, but rather power to obtain certain articles that are generally supposed to contribute NO HdppAAleSS. very sOtlen. they GO so contribute, but by no means always. They may minister merely to care and sorrow.
 Since most of us must remain un- taught by personal experience it is competent at least to hear testimony on the point Ii Hung Chang, tho richest man in the Chinese empire, wrote some memoirs in which he ra- marked. y remember when I was youth at Lou Chow that riches and promotions seemed as very gifts of the celestial regions But I have found that neither great wealth. nor distinguished decorations nor both put together, will guarantee a man against unrest of mind or turmoil of soul. How great and honorable is the peacock's feather of the throne, yet how much easier rests the head on goose feathers!"
 With that put the word of Andrew Carnegie, surely substantial witness: Some men think that poverty is a dreadful burden, and that wealth leads to happiness. What do they know about it? They know only one side: they imagine the other I have lived little in wealth that can add to human happiness beyond the small comforts of life Millionaries who laugh are very rare. My experience Is that wealth is apt to take the smiles away" Millions have found the rainbow without the aid of any pot of gold The poor in spirit. and in material possessions too, have ever been able 10 enter the kingdom of heaven. St Paul. Socrates, St. Francis of Assist John Wesley, William Booth, and a host beside. have lived as poor men but with a richness and spl<ndor oi experience that forbids our thinking of them as in any sense poverty stricken.

Boston is trying to reduce her entire educational system to such a basis that work in every grade of each school will be done in precisely the same fashion as in the same grade of every other school. This. it Is believed, will maintain a level of efficiency for pupils which will increase the value of the school system by putting 1t on more scientific basis.-Hartford Post.
