The editor of an Enstern pnpor hns discovered tlint Dewey turned nround is "Yo Wed." We fancy wo see the editor turning Dewey nround. The trouble with that Chicago mnn who accumulated forty-two wives wns Ms failure to Interlard his mnrrlnges liberally with Chicago divorces. Evil wins now and then, not because it Is stronger than good, but becnuse jjood does not rcnllzo Its own strength, and does not use It to the best advan tage. One New York railroad wnnts to abolish sleeping and dining car tips, but so far as the result Is lu the hands of the wnlters and porters they mny be expected to hold out to the end. A California minister lias denounced kissing gnmes nt church soolnls. This, however, Is not given as tho renson for the removal of the author of "The Man with tho Hot)" from California to Brooklyn. Isn't It nlMjut time that something were done to make It difficult to obtain carVolIc acid? It can be had for tho luiple asking In almost any drug store, and thus an easy way of "Bhuflllng off IIiIh mortal coll" Is practically placed within reach of those who are weary of life. There would be fewer suicides If carbolic acid were dlillcult to obtain. There are few more successful moth dn of dujiliig people, In their desire for wealth, than for some Impecunious trickster to tell them he has n "sure thing" by means of which they can lieedlly get rich. They never Btop to ask why he does not make himself rich, although the precept, "Physician, faeal thyself I" Is so old and hackneyed. "We do not suppose," remarks a critic of lighting, "the majority of us liave any overmastering desire for tho fierce delights of personal combat." The black eyes and bloody noses of our youth remain ns a vivid memory. Man, when ho Is grown, prefers the lighting at long rnuge, which Is one of the re sults of Invention and the higher civili sation. Ho ran get all the fun out of that Is lu It that wnj. A recent expose of the brutal treat ment of prlvntes lu the army of Vraneo fcy their ofllcers gives new emphasis to tho danger of arbitrary power. It Is also reported that In Austria the cus tom of boxing the ears of soldiers and recruits has Imtii so common and so violent that thousands of them have auffcrcd such Impairment of their hear ing s partly to unlit them for service. The minister of war has recently Usued a prohibitory order. "One of tho remarkable sights of the IirvtuMit day Is that you don't see any l)lcycles," remarked a gentleman. "And atill more remarkable," he continued, ! the way American peoplo tnko up a fad and run It Into the ground. Four jronrs ago the bicycle was tho craze; before that It was tenuis; now it Is golf, and tho Lord only knows what It'll bo next. Hut from a clothes standpoint golf Is tho captain of 'em all. A man's foiling suit and his fixings mnke his tilcyclo rig-out look like thirty cents, ns the saying Is. And the women ain't Car behind." A census "family" means the number of people who are fed from the same pantry. A hotel, it hoard lug-Hchool or a prison Is a faintly lu tho eye of the census. Domestic servants are always counted as a part of the household with which they are living. This use of the term makes the average size of the family lu a town which happens to ltnve n great Institution unusually large, but lu the long run It works out about even, since actual families must no reduced in uiimiier by so much to supply the members of these Inordinate ly large families. Truth should bo double edged, and cut both ways. Now there's the bird question. Possibly the time may como when women will not allow them to be killed for their adornment nor will men kill them for the pleasure of killing something, says Heacon. I hnve never been able to understand why It is not us well to preach against the enormity of shooting birds for fun as for shoot ing them to make women look prettier, but 1 notice that tho emphasis Is nil placed on the latter. Probably tho jilgeiitt tlint Is shot nt lu a shooting match does not enjoy It any more than the hummingbird which Is killed out right for a woman's hat. yet for ono word that Is said against the former Instance there are hundreds said against the latter. I suppose It is easier for a man to preach for his sister's tieneflt than to practice for his own. Hut constant agitation may in time euro both evils and so educate mnn that tie shall see no pleasure In killing help less birds and animals without any purpose other than fcjHirt. Dame Fashion, who U not only whimsical nnd eccentric but Jrvquently ery unwise, hue ninoe a departure lu tbs) nutter of wouieu's sklrU that must -ale, t or-coti- Olllill. er was i nny reason ,. v t should be so long its to'i aroutul nny more than there Is for man's cont tails touching the ground. A few skittish old mnlds may tnke n duck-fit when they Imagine someone can sec the toes of their shoes peeping out from under their draperies, but unless the foot Is tnntnlizlngly small and poignantly well formed little attention Is ordinarily given to It. Mr; Torter, the United States Ambas sador to France, has reported to the State department that the grave of John Paul Jones has been discovered Ip Paris. If there Is no mistake In the Identification of the grave Congress should not hesitate to take prompt ac tion for rchurlnl In this country and the erection of a fitting monument to the memory of the great sea lighter, who was the first to make the Stars ami Stripes respected on tho seas. No naval hero has more worthily earned the gratitude of the American people than tho lion-hearted sailor who fought the powerful Sernpls and Its consorts with that rotten old hulk, the llonhomme Hlchard, which apparently was no bet ter fitted for a fight than Kipling's old hulk of Bolivar Hay. A Newnrk (N. J.) court has admin istered n new nnd most effective cor rective for Juvenile crime. Five boys were caught stealing fruit from freight cars nnd nrrnlgned before n police jus tice. When proved guilty tho Justice sentenced them to twelve lashes with n policeman's belt. It Is said the young culprits were perfectly sntlsfled with this method of punishment nnd ngreed they would behave themselves In fu ture, while other boys who hnve been In tho habit of misbehaving hnve sud denly manifested a violent nnd uncon trollable deslro to reform their habits. A thorough spanking by n vigorous po liceman Is n much more salutary form of punishment for n young boy than sending him to an Institution where he will learn more deviltry nnd practice It when ho Is released. For extremely youthful persons bent upon going In the wrong direction there Is nothing so certnlu to turn them Into the right road n spanking. It Is much more effective than Incarceration or milk-sop rem edies. A Chicago dentist nnd Inventor clnlnm to hnve discovered n method by which the soft coal of the west can be suc cessfully coked so that soft coal coke will be ctptal to hard coal coke for blasting and smelting purposes. In commenting upon this dlscovciy tho Ottumwn, Iowa, Courier remarks that If the discovery Is practicable, the Iron Industry will witness n great change, nnd tho production of pig-Iron In the Western States where soft coal Is plentiful will Ih vastly Increased. Up to this time the great Eastern Iron making centers have had an advantage over those of the West. Itotli have de pended almost entirely upon the Lake Superior mines for their ores, but tho Eastern Iron furnaces are located so much nearer the great sources of the coke supply of the world that they have had a great advantage over the Weiteru furnaces. If the Chicago man can do what ho promises, however, the condi tions will bo Just reversed and the West will have the advantage over the Kast. The bituminous coko can be made for from fl! to ?2.r0 per ton, while the nnthrnclte coke costs $.1 to $S.f0. Pennsylvania Is a great Iron manufacturing State al most solely becaune of the fact that It Is the great anthracite coal center, and when this new coking process Is brought Into use there Is no reason why tho West should not iK-come a great Iron manufacturing section. Last year the Western furnaces smelted but one fifth of the Iron ore taken from the great Iron mines lu the Lake Superior region, but now that they can produce their coke at home, Instead of shipping It all the way from Pennsylvania, they may m expected to take a large share lu ttb the Industries to which Iron ore gives rise. Tho H -ro lit f-on. The man who scorned the deadly mines and led his licet ahead, Who iiinniiKcd to arrive before the foe wits out of bed, Is great, but would you rather be the admiral today Than the boy who can afford to give six million plunks away? O, the Kniner on his glided throne Is ipiite a perHouage, And mi Is he slio stands supreme upon the mimic stage, Hut would you rathur be the, knight or emperor, to-day, Than the boy who can nfford to give six million plunks away 7 There's Chamberlain nnil I-Mison and Kipling with his pen, And fiery little Finiston nnd the other famous men Would you be one of these Instead (If you could choose, to-day,) Or the boy who can afford to give six million plunks nwny, And hiia some ninety millions left to keep hint feeling gay?
