Your Fault, My Virtue.
BY RUTH CAMERON


Orthodoxy is my doxy; heterodoxy
is some one 3elses doxy."-Bishop
Warburton.
When is a fault not a fault?
When it's your own, of course.
1t is an old saying that distance
lends encha7stfnent<bu but there is at least
one circumstance when the converse is
true and nearnsss casts 2 glamor. And
you that you see it as Virtue.
Most of us believe in calling a spade
a spade when 1t belongs to our neigh
Dor; when it's our own were just as
likely to call it a silver spoon. -,
For instance, I know a man who
never hesitated in his youth to crit
cize others for what he called Cow
ardice.' Heis sofder now and +wheth-
er from the growth of experience or
the decline of animal heat less i'm
petuous. In fact he seems to have
acquired considerable of the quality
which in others he used to stigmatize
as cowardice. Does he call it cow
ardice in himself? Indeed no. In
him it is common sense; he has chill
dren, he is careful for their sakes not
for his own. He forgets that some of
those whom he once criticised so free
ly also had family ties. Furthermore,
he has come to criticise just such
youths as he once was for the very
qualities he once possessed and pos
sesslng them, admired. Only he calls
them by different names now What
used to be daring in himself has
now become "harebrained foolhardi-
ness in others.
Again, we all know people who in
tensely dislike conceit in others but
who call their own sense of their
value to the world "self respect" and
who say, with swelling chest and chin
well in, that everyone should have self
respect because if you don't respect
yourself others will never respect you.
Whereupon they proceed to respect
themselves with fervor that if others
follow their example, advertised.
should make them the most respected
persons in the community
A "disagreeable disposition IN our
ne1ghbor has strange tendency in
ourselves to become IAN inherited
quick temper" (mentioned in a tone
that shows we regard it as an evil
dence of proper spirit and are proud
rather than ashamed of it,. 'Incon
"openmindedness'' with US. "Readi-
tiveness" in us; "obstinacy'' in him is
proper firmness' in US.
And so it goes. Would some power
the gift to give us to see ourselves as
we see others. And yet perhaps that
would be a foolish wish. For since we
must live with this queer faulty fell
low all our lives and see more of him
than of any other human being; is il
not well that we should after all,
BE to his faults little blind
Be to his virtues very kind"

An EIectric Battle Ship.

The first electric battle ship will be
added to the United States navy in two
years. 1t is the California, which is
to be built at the Brooklyn navy yard
at a cost of 100000. 1t will also be
the largest battle ship yet built for our
navy-624 feet long and 81 feet wide,
with a displacement of $4,000 tons
and a speed of 81 knots. Its main
battery will be twelve fourteen-i inch
guns. 1t will have a torpedo defense
battery, which the European war has
shown to be of great Importance. This
battery will have twenty-five fiye-inch
guns. Inventors have long dreamed
of an electric battle ship. With the
California this will be realized, and
with it we lead the world, just as we
led it by the device of central fire.
that is, having the heavy guns over
the keel instead of at the sides-a de-
vice that new European battle ships
have copied. The application of cleo
tricity has already proved to be a
success in the results obtained with
the electric collier Jupiter, which was
the first electrically operated ship. In
the California there will be no direct
ly connected turbines. The power
will be transmitted to the four screw
propellers through slow-speed motors
which will relieve much of the strain
on the crank shaft The electric pow
er installation will consist of two sep
arate plants, each furnishing power
for two screws. If desirable the ship
can be operated on one generator

NEW TAXEs IN RUSSIA.

Inasmuch as large portion of Rus
sia's revenues used to be derived from
the sale of vodka, which was a gov
eminent monopoly, it is interesting to
learn what steps the Russian govern
ment has taken to make up this def
cheney and to provide not only for or
binary expenses of the nation, but also
to cover a part of the extraordinary
expenditures occasioned by the war
A series of orders have been promul-
gated by the Russian Council of Min
listers which increases some of the in
ternal-revenue taxes and provides a
number of new taxes that are to be
levied for the current year, at least.
The excise on sugar is increased from
LIS to rubles per pood (from $3.50
to SASS per 100 pounds. Illuminat-
ing oils and other petroleum products
are to be subject to an internal tax of
0.90 instead of 0.60 ruble per pood
($1.28 instead of $0.S6 per 100
pounds The excise tax on pressed
yeast is increased to o.32 ruble per
funt (so.15 per pound) on domestic
and 0.36 ruble (S0-17 per pound) on
imported. The excise tax on cigarette
castings is raised from 0.02 to 0.O4 ru-
bic per 100, and on booklets or pack
ages containing not more than SO
sheets of cigarette paper from O.0O5
to 0.O1 ruble each The tax on safety
matches of domestic production is
fixed on the basis of Dol ruble per box
of IS matches. or twice the old tax.
The tax on imported safety matches is
double that on domestic The excise
tax on beer has also been increased
In addition to increases in the taxes

A RAILROAD OPPORTUNITY.

What appears to be an idea OF ma
jor proportions is projected by Scott
Hopkins, the local financier. in re-
cent issue of Trust Companies in his
article that explains so clearly the adj
vantages to all parties concerned OF
the now famous Topeka plan" for
the placing of municipal bonds with
home investors. Mr.. Hopkins sug-
gests that a similar plan might be en-
ployed by the railroads relative to
their bonded Indebtedness. His own
words on the subject present the case
as tersely and forcefully as possible.
They are worthy of every emphasis
and the careful consideration, not only
of railroaders but also of the public.
For it goes without saying that the
railroads could not undertake any
such plan with any assurance of sue
cess unless the people were willing
to meet them half way. THE great
railroad systems of this nation could
larize their bonded Indebtedness.
urges Mr.. Hopkins They should
make their bonds in such denomina-
tions," he continues, land place them
before the public in such a manner
that the people could buy and sell
them without red tape or unnecessary
delay. The attitude of the voters to-
wards the corporations would mater
tally change, were the bonds generally
held by small investors over the
country 1t would mean a new era of
open accounting. square management
and general sympathy and interest on
the part of the public

THE REDDY SQUIRRELS HAVE UNPLEASANT GUESTS

For several days after the Reddy
Squirrels moved into their new home
in the house on the pole, they were too
busy to more than glance around. OK
course they had tidfed up the little
place the first day but there was much
to be done after that. The house must
have a covering of soft down laid on
the floor, the door, which was a trifIe
too small, must be gnawed a bit wider
oh there was lot to do.
But Reddy and his little mate didn't
mind working, not they! They were
naturally Industrious; and then, who
wouldn't work when they had as love-

rels? Think of the fun they had run

Nobody but very clever squirrel like
Reddy could do that trick as we'll

everything was done. Then for the

on the wall in the main room of their
house. II believe now that 1 think
ticed those things when we first
looked in here. 1 remember thinking
that they looked very pretty. Now
what do you suppose they are?"
Reddy always hated to admit that
there was anything he didn't know
about, SO he looked at the gray
pumps SOlemnly and said, Maybe
they are the trimming to the house.
Maybe places as pretty as this house
always are made that way" But al
though he looked very wise when he
said it, Mrs. Reddy was not one bi.
impressed by his answer
Before she had time to reply how
ever, a shadow crossed the doorway
Both squirrels whirled around to see
who was there. "Oh. how do you do"
said Reddy when he saw that their
visitor was their neighbor Jonathan
B1ackbird, $50 you've come to call on

HEN AS TYPHOID CARRIER.

The problem of the carrier in vari-
Gus infectious diseases has long vexed
the sanitarian who is bent on discov-
ering every possible mode of transmits
sion and every portal of entry for the
germs Human carriers of typhoid
and diphtheria germs, themselves inn
mune to attacks of the malady are
now watched for in nearly every COM
munity, and the danger which they
represent as latent source of infec-
ton is clearly recognized. Doubtless,
says The Journal of the American
Medical Association, many of these
possibilities for spreading disease
without the presence of detachable
symptoms are still unrecognized. In
typhoid, it has been shown that some
of the lower animals may be made ty-
