THEN AND NOW.
into.

The jing0es of the country are quot ing passage from one of Washing tons annual addresses to congress. It reads:
 "There is rank due the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to re- pei it. If we desire to secure peace one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war
 If you will compare the situation now with the situation when Wash ington used these words, you will see how little application they have. In Washington's day We had just secured our freedom and were assuming an in. dependent position with old and large nations menaeing our existence. We are now the leading nation of the world, the greatest republic of all time-we have an ocean rolling on either side of us and potential power of defense unequaled by any other country living or that has lived. In addition to that we are spending 25o millions year on the army and navy, and yet there are those who would turn the country from one of peaceful prosperity into nation of swaggering swashbucklers looking for fight.
 W.J. BRYAN.
 The above is one of Mir. Bry- ans epigrammatical epistles which is heedlessly and reckless ly swallowed by his devotees as an absolute refutation of the ne eessity for "preparedness' on the part of the American Gov ernment at this time. Like all heroworshipers they imbibe the high sounding phraseology and adopt as sound logic that which. in reality, may be nothing but an evanescent dream, with no substantial foundation, whatev- CT.
 If what Washington said was applicable in his day and time, what Wilson says is applicable today. It is a matter of fact as Mir. Bryan says, this was a young Republic then and has grown to eollosal giant since, but the great nations of the world have likewise grown.
 And 1t is, also, true that we have an ocean on either side of us, but we had the same great waters when Mir. Washington was advising his Congress, and il they have perceptibly grown larger We have not been appris- ed of that fact. Then, the sea going crafts were small, of rude construction, slow of speed, and vulnerable to every danger. Now, they are large, fast and al- most danger proof. One of the large ships, of today, carrying thousands of soldiers could reach our shores in five days. while one of the ships in Washington's day, carrying only few hun dred men would have required nearly as many months.
 If there were necessity for a state of preparedness in General Washington's day, which Mir. Bryan tacitly admits, there is even more reason for such action now, as there is great conflag. ration sweeping over Europe, and if not touching our shores, occasionally reaches and de- stroys one of our ships, and lights the fuse to explode the bomb under our manufacturing plants.
 Washington may have been a "swaggering swashbuckler" and Wilson may be a ''jingo," but the American people had rather place their care and keeping un- der the cool, conservative wis

Our Ideal of Perfection.

The modern world has a new and
elaborate dogma of the body, but con-
viction (if it exist in regard to the
soul is tentative and wary. For many
past years the faith has been taught,
the belief has been growing, that
physically fit of necessity means men,
tally fit, that physical power is the
measure of mans efficiency. The one
glory of our college life lies in it's
sports, and education of MUSCLE The
only ideal of perfection now in evil
dence is an ideal of physical perfec-
ton; for this, no sacrifice is too great,
no case too onerous. Images Of per-
feet bodily development are kept be-
fore the young-the Apollo, with
beauty of sinew and muscle; but the
face Of the Christ IS growing ever
more and more dim before their eyes,
and is more and more apologetically
presented, IL presented at all.-At-

The American Calf.

Deer hunters are forbidden to kill
fawns in most American states. There
are laws to protect the baby seal.
Game fish under certain size have
their lives insured by official regula-
ton. How does 1t happen, then, that
the American butcher goes on slaugh-
tering the American calf, slashing at
the throat of the nations meat and
dairy supply, without audible protest
from any quarter? The heifer Calls
place in our system Of table economy
Is not a matter of guesswork or the
DRY. The calf that is eaten as veal
never develops into beef, nor can it
continue the race of its valuable kind.
1t is a contention of experts that
very definite reason for our dwindling
beef supply is the Unrestricted slaugh-
ter of very young heifers.-Philadel

WILLING TO STAY ON FARM
Children Have Little Thought Of Leav-
ing Home Which They Had
Share In Planning.

A man who settled on a piece Of
land made it into an orderly farm. His
crops were always good and his ami
mails throve, but the main work that
he accomplished was the rearing Of
a family of five children, each one Of
whom was given an education.
1t was well-fllled farmhouse while
the youngsters were small and, nat.
urally, as they grew the house be-
came crowded. He then set about
building a new dwelling. The old one
was moved across the road; the farm
teams made an excavation for cellar.
Then came the concrete foundation
walls, and soon there uprose the Frame
work Of the new house that the fam
lily in council had planned.
Eventually from under the hands Of
the workmen emerged the completed
house with its bath, open fires, CHEEKY
living room, sunny kitchen and sleep
ing porches. 1t was snug fit all
around, and the family enjoyed it; all
revealed in the unaccustomed comforts
of a well-planned, well-built house.
The owner has since died, leaving
son and daughters on the farm, with
no one dreaming of moving to town.

From England to Russia.

Intercourse between Russia and
England began in the middle of the
sixteenth century by the one route
that is still open, via the White sea.
1t was hazardous and costly voyage,
the London Chronicle observes. The
crews of two of the three ships with
which Richard Chancellor made his
first trip in 1858 were frozen to
death, Sir Hugh Willoughby among
them. On his second venture, in
1856, Chancellor brought back with
him a Russian ambassador, Osip Ne
jea. Two of the ships were never.
heard of again, and the Edward Bona
ventura, after four months at sea,
was wrecked on the Scottish coast.
Chancellor, many of the crew and
seven Russians persisted, but Osip
Nejar was among the survivors, and
the English lords and merchants went
out in state beyond Shoreditch to well
come this duke of Muscovia."

SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE
Ono Need Not Go Far From the
Haurts Of Man to Hear Birds
Sweet Strains.

One Of our great American natural
lists once went to England in hope to
hear the nightingale. Although he
wandered for many miles over Surrey
and Hampshire, his search was we'll
nigh fruitless. Had he gone no farth-
er than the outskirts of London, he
might have Jared better. There are
still certain spots in the suburbs to
which the nightingale returns year af-
ter year.
One Of them is Wimbledon Common,
where the bird sings every spring, oft.
en-, however, quite unrecognized by
those who hear him. 1t is commonly
believed that because, as all the world
knows, the nightingale sings by night,
he keeps silence during the day. New
er was delusion more ill-founded. 1t
might be in part accounted for if the
bird were Of particularly timid and
fearful nature. But he is not; in fact,
ntghtingales are, as rule, least shy
where they are most accustomed to
mans presence.
Not only does this much misunder-
stood bird (some nightingales, of
course, more than others) sing at in
tervals all day long, but he appears
at times to take delight in singing to
a crowd.
