The present healthful attitude
toward childhood has worked a great
change in the sort Of books that we
read to children. The old-fashioned
goody-goody book that was con-
sidered the proper mental food for
children fifty years ago has been
driven from the shelves of even the
most unprogressive Sunday schools.
A saner, more wholesome sort of book
has taken their place
Still with the passing of the old
sort of book, there have gone several
delightful books for children that de-
served to stay, books that for real
literary merit quite excel the quick
ly-written products of the present
day. Among these forgotten books
are the collections of verses by Jane
Taylor. True, the delightful little
lines beginning Twinkle, Twinkle

Lost a Big Victory

The wideawake little merchants of
the highways, the newsboys, have re-
allied that the hunger of the public
for news of the war in Europe means
profit to them, and they are quick
to seize on their opportunities Some
times, however, they get their ideas
twisted. Tt makes no\ difference to
them, for they so ahead and shout
the news. Sometimes their contention
startles their hearers. Today a dimin-
utive boy stood at Broad and Market
streets and shouted at the top of his
voice:

Little Star" are known to every child
who speaks English, probably, al
though few people realize that they
were written by Jane Taylor or that
in her little volumes are many more
verses quite as delightful.
Here are few stanzas from one
of her hymns for children, once 8
favorite:
THE moon is very fair and bright,
And also very high;
l think it is a pretty sight,
To see it in the sky.
1t shone upon me while l lay
And seemed almost as bright as day.
THE stars are very pretty, too,
And scattered all about,
At first there seemed a very few,
But soon the rest came out
I'm sure l cannot count them all,
They are so very bright and small"

When IA Hapsburg Dies.


From the Youths Companion.
A very strange burial custom has
been observed for centuries by the
house OF Hapsburg, the most ancient
of the reigning houses of Europe. On
the death of the Austrian emperor
the body is carried by the shortest
way from the imperial palace to the
crypt of the ancient monastery of
the Capuchins, near Vienna. No one
appears to receive the royal cortege.
Thereupon the master of ceremonies
knocks on the closed door with his
staff and demands admission.
who is there?" asks the voice of
the guardian monk from within.
His majesty, the most high EN-
peror of Austria, King OF Hungary,
Duke of Styria," and so forth, replies
the master of ceremonies, as he re-
cites the long list of the dead mans
titles.
II know no such man." curtly re-
plies the guardian from behind the
closed door.
The master of ceremonies knocks
a second time. Again the monk asks,
who is there?' Again the master
of ceremonies repeats the list Of royal
titles, and again the voice of the
guardian replies, II know no such
man"

the United States. the great neutral
country. to lead the way, and let its
pleading be inclusive of all our citi-

From the New York Times.
In a letter TO the Hon. Henry Sey-
mour Conway, from Strawberry Hill,
OF July, s, 1878, Horace Walpole made
a number of observations in regard to
the European situation of that day
which are amazingly curiously oppo-
site to the existing situation.
1.-THE invasion of Portugal by Spain
in the last war, and the partition of
Poland, have abrogated the law of
nations" writes Walpole. Kings
have left no ties between one an
other. He is a good king
that preserves his people; and IL
temporizing answers that end, is 1t
not justihable?

Virginia Saloon Keepers to Close to Show
What Prohibition Means.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 19.-Pending
the voting next Tuesday to determine
whether Virginia shall Danish the sa-
loon, every barroom in the State will
remain closed for three days.
The saloon men contend that If Vir-
ginia goes dry the State treasury
will lose $700.000 a year, the amount
now paid for liquor license.
To prove the effect q no-license law
would have on the State, the saloon
keepers all over Virginia have decided
to close their places today and re-
main closed until Wednesday. This is
the first time in Virginia when the
saloon men have voluntarily decided
TO shut their shops when the law per-
mits them to remain open.

DO the Men Folk Want This Mighty Mag
net Thought Into Politics:

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: I
read lately OF two young girls going 10
Wall street to speak in the street FOR
woman suffrage, and according to the
report in one paper they had great src-
cess in making converts and collec;irS
money III their cause. The reporter
dwet upon the fact that they were young
and attractive.
The account set me wondering. but not
for the first time. whether men who are
Influenced by such speeches would really
like to have feminine attractivencss enter
largely into politics IN future days The
attraction of sex IL the cause Of half the
happiness of the world Almost all social
pleasure depends upon 1t. 1t leads to all
the ecstasies of our counting days. which
In their turn lead to the long happy com
panionship Of our later years Without
the attraction OF sex the world could not
go on. but the question Is. do We want
1t to form AN important part Of politics?
DO We like TO think that mems votes
upon important future questions may turn
upon the attractive personality OF the
young women who favor one side or the
other. and who exert all their charms
morally or immorally to persuade men
to take that side? Is not this one OF the
many questions for men to decide before
they turn all the women of this country
into politics? The excitable and intense
manner in which they will throw them
selves into the subject can b. seen al

The Government, Not the Directors, ia
Blame for Disastrous Results.
From the Springfield Repu biicdn,

FFOt TIC oVrtHbVtsu "'pS"'''
Being now under compulsion to detach
itself from the Boston and Maine, the
New Haven company may fairly raise the
question, as one requiring impartial de-
termination, whether the Massachusetts
string legislation. in narrowing the mar
ket for the sale of the shares compared
with what the market was when the
shares were bought, does not inequitably
force a shrlnkage in the value OF the
property OF the corporation.
Here was an entirely new condition in-
jocted into the situation, and in view OF
the tremendous losses already borne by
the stockholders the New Haven directors
were fully justified in the course they
thereupon pursued In seeking read1usted
basis of settlement. in the voluntary
agreement for dissolution with the Federal
Government They had right to ap.
proach the Attorney-General with plea
for reconsideration of the terms OF volun-
tary dissolution, to every Item OF which
they still adhered except in the one par
ticular OF the sale OF the Boston and
Maine shares. And. further. in case the
Government saw no merit In their claim
they were by no means debarred from
rejecting the voluntary agreement pre-
viously sanctioned by both sides, but still
requiring the unqualified sanction OF the
Massachusetts Legislature. and from
standing on the company's inherent right
to judicial determination OF all the
equities In the case in the courts OF the
United states.
The Republican is very far from COM
planning because the Government Is re-
solved TO enforce the law; II does not
complain because of any honest disagree
ment between the Department of Justice
, and the New Haven directors In the anal
shaping of the voluntary agreement: but
what nonsense 1t is to accuse the directors
OF culpably quibbling and unjustifably
breaking covenant "solemnly entered
into" and how unfair 1t Is to fix upon
them "thc sole responsibility for whatever
disastrous results TO New England may
. ensue from "a protracted dissolution suit.
II there were less politics all around In
the enforcement OF the antitrust law the
situation would be happier to contemplate.

honor and integrity that make him so
