MODERN MIRACLES.

Is there a miracle mentioned anywhere in sacred or profane his- tory comparable with that which enabled Bell. the inventor, to stand at telephone instrument in New York and make speech which was heard simultaneously by over 5000 people in eight cities ranging from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Boston to Atlanta. h. cidentally the auditors heard Dixie played in Atlanta and Yankee Doodle" played in Bos- ten. The improvements in the long distance telephone will enable Chauncey M. Depew in New York city to make an after dinner speech to the assembled members of the Chamber of Commerce in Seattle. If Marconi's invention had been given 900 years ago Paul might have avoided shipwreck by the re- ceipt of a wireless message warn ing him of the coming tempest.

Namefess Inventors.

Apart from the sheer human won der aroused by the wireless telephone the most remarkable fact seems to De that this application of research has been carried out by business cor poration, and that the inventors and scientists remain anonymous. AS evi dence of human motives there IS much to think about here. What E the incentive which impels these un' known workers, what secret have these corporations discovered which enables them to tap so inexpensiveiy the most useful minds in America! When next we read that enterprise would collapse without dazzling re. wards, that human nature is so and so, we shall not be able to refrain from thinking of these nameless bene, factors of mankind. Their incentive seems somehow to be as good as those of the men who are pilipg uI fortunes in war speculation, or of those who had grandfathers with vi sion of real estate development.-NeW Republic.

THRIFT TAXES EFFORT.

Thrift seems an easy and pleas ant thing when we read about it in articles and periodicals devoted to encouraging the practice of saving. The fact is, of course, that it is not very easy. that it does mean self denial. But very often it is denial of something we do not need very much, or have rather unworthy reasons for wanting. Probably the chief danger making against thrift in American homes is the struggle to keep up with some other family eNjoying a much larger income, says the Milwaukee Journal. This extends all the way down, from the man in his club. the wife in the parlor, the son in college and the debutante daughter, to the children in school. If Johnny goes to school with boys who apparently have un- limited spending money, he doesn't like to have it thought that his papa is stingy;;' his parents. often unwisely share his sensitiveness, This means that small sums are going out constantly through as many channels as there are holes in watering can. Often every member of family is spending more than the family can afford for things he does not really enjoy.
 The only remedy is the recogni- tion of the false pride for what it is, and the refusal to spend for trifles the money that ought to be saved for the rainy day. This applies not only. or even chiefly, to the poor man. More often it is the man of moderate means who feels this strain. It is among this class of Americans that the malady of being broke" is commonest, and the misfortune of meeting the rainy day without any preparation is met most often. The question is whether one is willing to risk mis- construction by refusing to be prodigal now in order to be honest with himself and be comfortable in the future.

from these dangers, we wish to give them the full benefit of our su- perior judgment But there is limit beyond which the child simply will not profit from the wisdom of others, except in negative way-that is, in the way of doing nothing at all. Nor should we deny the child the privilege of acquiring his judgment by means of the kinds of experiences that have given us our insight.
 At any rate, we cannot save the child by building fence around him, as the mother of ten-year-old boy tried to do, to protect him from the rough manners and bad language" of other boys. The mother had kept the child with her almost constantly, when he. was not in school In time she contrived to delegate portions of this burden to paid deputies When 1t was suggested to the mother that the boy might profit more from out door games and the companionship of other boys, she expressed the fear that some of those other boys" might be so rough, or so careless in their speech!
 If the home is not capable of con- pensating for the roughness of boys and the giggles of girls, he will surely not be saved by padlocks and shutters. For few years this mother will be able to shield her child from the in considerate rudeness of the world out side, just as she was shielded in her youth. But in the absence of a will and steadfast purpose. her child will either suecumb to the temptations that are sure to come when he gets beyond his mothers protection, or he will be obliged to retire for the rest of his days to the only kind of life for which the seclusion and darkness have fit. ted him.
 By tying the hands you may keep one from doing harm, but you cannot thus destroy the desire to do the objec- tionable deed. It is better to leave the hands free, and to train them to do what you approve.

@F all the weak, inconclusive,
 modern parents-fs this what
 we've come to?" said Professor Marshall to his wife after a scene with their eighteen-year-old daughter, in Dorothy Canfield's new novel, The Bent Twig."
 After eighteen years of training" Sylvia manifests a desire to do what other young people are doing, to drift with the majority, to enjoy people and pastimes not approved by her parents. Having allowed their daughter to make decisions all these years, in the hope that she would thus learn to make right decisions, the father cries out helplessly when her decision in the first really serious situation is opposed to the parental judgment. He is tempted to appeal to parental author ity." We must reach out the hand to pull her back. or she will make hor- rible mistake!
 But the mother sticks to her prfn- ciples. They had taught their children to think independ ently, and now it was impossible to use force. They had tried to give the children standards of conduct and by these they would stand She had faith that in crisis these standards and ideals would pull her through.
 The most that parents can do for their children is to give them stand ards and ideals that will serve in emer- gencies as well as in the routine of life. But how often are we tempted to lcse faith in our own teachings, and to resort to lock and key, as was Pro- lessor Marshall! How often do we see no choice but that between force and perdition!
 As we become more experienced in this business of parenthood our feel ing of responsibility grows upon us. we realize how much better our judg- ment is than that of the children, we realize more and more the dangers and the temptations that beset them. And of course we wish to save them

Many retail cigar dealers unin- tentionally violate the federal stat utes every day. The internal revenue law requires that when a cigar is offered for sale the dealer shall set out the box and allow the customer to make his own selec- ton. It is also a violation of the law for a cigar to be replaced ir the box after it has been taken out and handled.
