MATTHEW ARNOLD.

In Harper's Magazine Mrs
Humphrey Ward thus describes the
late Matthew Arnold, who was her
uncle:
His face was strong and rugged,
the large mouth, the broad lined
brow, and vigorous coal black hair,
bore no resemblance, except for that
fugitive yet vigorous something
which We call family likeness" TO
either his father or mother-still
less TO the brother so near to him in
age. But the Celtic trace is there,
though derived, have sometimes
thought, rather from an Irish than
D Cornish source. Nothing indeed
at first sight could have been less ro-
mantle or dreamy than his outer as
pect. "Ineifectualness" was not to
be thought Of in connection with
him. He stood four-square-a cour-
teous, competent man Of affairs, an
admirable inspector Of schools, a de-
lightful companion, a guest whom
everybody wanted, and no one could
bind for long; one of the sanest,
most independent, most cheerful and
loyable Of mortals. Yet his poems
show what was the real inner life
and genius Of the man; how rich in
that very emotion" "love Of beauty
and CHARM" rebellion against fact"
Spirituality" melancholy" which
he himself catalogued as the cradle
gifts Of the Celt.

HIGH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS

Hawaii is awakening TO the value Of
good roads. Within the next two years
Honolulu will spend s1,0O0,O0O In road
building in the Island Of Oahu. Con
crete will be extensively used In the
work as the Hawaiian has learned the
value Of permanent construction. Amer
lean engineers are largely responsible
for the character Of road building in
the territory and for the good streets
Of the city Of Honolulu. OF the latter
there are 234 miles within the city
proper and, altogether, 474 In the coun-
~. Honolulu now has an arrangement
with the territorial government where.
by that city receives 10000 n year
for the construction OF streets and
S3J0,OOO for maintenance. There is
in the latter figures lesson for Texas
road builders who have a tendency 10
exhaust all road funds on construction
leaving nothing for maintenance.

THRIFT STAMP IS HIS TIP
Instead OF Usual Quarter, Baltimore
Man Makes Practice Of Giving
Twenty-Five-cent Stamp.

There is a new sort Of tip around
the hotels, the Baltimore Sun states.
A widely-known man had his usual
luncheon at one Of the big hotels.
The service was excellent, and, Of
course, he passed something to the
waiter. But instead Of the usual
quarter IL was a Thrift card, on
which a 25-cent Thrift stamp had
been pasted.
81 just happened to have an idea
that ! could not do the waiter who
serves me a better turn than to get
his mind fixed on these Thrift
stamps" said the man who changed
the style in tips. at took him
a minute or two to find out
what ! had handed him. He was a
surprised fellow. But a moments
explanation Strengthened him out.
And believe that in little while he
will understand that not only gave
him my usual little fee for his po-
hteness and attention, but that put
him on the right track to make the
best use Of what he picks up during
the day.
Likely as not the tip Of one man
a day, il given in the form Of a 25-
cent Thrift stamp, would come
pretty near to buying that waiter one
Of the War Savings fund certificates,
with all Of the stamp spaces filed, by
the end Of the year. II seems to me
that the people who are served by
certain walters could do them no bet
ter favor than to give them Thrift
stamps instead Of the usual bit Of
cash"
