A Tvnve Hint Iiiih shipwrecked many n poor tnnn on the matrimonial Benthe wave of a laco-edged handkerchief. The Bmall boy who politely refused a piece of pie at dinner when ho sec the supply Is running short Is a true hero. George Kennan'H iniimiHcrlpt will ngaln receive eonulderntlon at the hands of the magazine editor. lie linn been ordered out of KuhsIii, a lucky stroke' of advertising for George. The library of the late Prof. Max Midler, composed of 111,000 volumes, has been purchased by Huron Iwnsakl for presentation to the University of Toklo. Why should not the Japs want to know a thing or two? It Is encouraging to sco that tho fad for "spelling reform" Is distinctly on the wane. Despite Its occasional recru descence, the number of people who once thought It "smart" and a proof of being a "progressive reformer" to write "thru" has grown smaller. Scholars are shy of tho "reform," and practical peo ple are equally shy of It. It may be news to some renders thnt English Is the language of the Japan ese Foreign Office, both In Its Inter course with foreign diplomatists and Us telegraphic correspondence with Its own representatives abroad. All tele grams from Tokyo to the foreign agents of Japan are written and cipher ed In English, and the replies are In the same language. The "Yankees of the Kiist" evidently wnnt their West ern civilization In the original pack ages. Tho Minneapolis Tribune has been gathering up high nchool gonfalons. Here Is one from the South Sldu high school, Minneapolis: Itnr.zkwliuzle! Kin, boonvnhl HoMiuilitckn, hnoinuluckn, Itah! Huh! Ituhl South Side High School O'er 11 nil O'erl Ilooinnlui'kn! bumnnlarka, Hour! Itonr! ItonrI And the following Is from the Placer County, California, high school: Chnw clioo, Chnw chee, D11 dotty dm dnt, Plncer High School. Hatty tat tut, Wow I And yet there are hypercritical per sons all over this broad liuid who claim that our higher education Is a mockery. Portable churches hnve followed the portable schoolhousc. The Dutch lie formed Church of Pennsylvania Is con sidering tho advisability of adopting them In communities too poor and too thinly settled to afford a permanent bouse- of worship. The buildings nro tnado of corrugated, galvanized Iron fastened to a wooden framework. The lnsldo Is sheathed with matched boards, between which and the Iron walls Is a lining of heavy felt, which keeps Uie building warm In winter and cool In the summer. lCncli piece Is so marked and tho whole so planned that any or dinary mechanic can put tho building together. Hueh a church, with a seat ing cnpnclty of throe hundred, can be built for fifteen hundred dollars. The portable church, however, Is not an automobile. It Is like other churches In that It will not "go" unless people pull together. Ono hears much In these days about tho "home beautiful" and one of the duties Imposed upon the care-laden In dividual of today Is that making his homo a thing of Individual loveliness. To do this he must not depend upon the builder, the decorator, or tho furniture maker, but must let his home be the expression of his own personality. It used to be that a man whose placu boasted of a pprte-eochcro and who could give passers-by glimpses of a marble Venus de Mllo was sure of a certain kind of distinction, even though he had but the haziest notion of the pronunciation of the one nnd tho his tory of the other. Hut now these things are but the commonplaces of wealth or at least If every home does not possess a porte-cochere, few are without the armless lady. Mere possessions no longer dazzle, but It Is the harmony be tween these and their pohsessor that Is mild to give charm to the Ideal home. If a man have a large library on his shelves and but a small one In his brain, or If he have a tine art collection on his walls nnd but u meager appreci ation of the same In his soul he Is con sidered an object of pity rather than envy. In short, the "home beautiful," according to present standards, Is one In which n cultivated taste and ar rangement of every article, from the copy of the "Winged Victory" on the wall to tho wattle-pans In the pantry. Kx-Captaln Putnam Hradlee Strong, relieved from further service In tho United StHtes army at his own request, and in circumstances that would have caused his dismissal had tho request not been made, Is not the llrst Individ ual to throw away a brilliant career un der similar provocation. History teems with such cases, but none of them Is the less regrettable on that account. The regret, In tho case of ex-Cnptalu titrong, Is Intensified by the fact that prior to his act of social ami profes sional suicide he had given evidence of it very sturdy quality of miuihood. While still new to arms, h fought bravely In the Philippines, and bears even now upon his body the marks of at least two wounds received In war. A regret even more poignant springs from his act In selling his late father' home In order to procure the means for the trip to Japan with the brilliant companion for whose sake he abandon cd his career in the army and forfeited the esteem of his fellow officers. Esau's dourly bought meal provides a histori cal comparison. This young ex-soldler, man of the world though he doubtless Is, has yet to learn, apparently, two great truths pertaining to the struct mill mechanism of our modern social fabric one, that follies readily pardon ed In youth are Inexorably condemned In manhood; the other, that while soci ety may graciously wink at the weak ness of a sinner with tact enough to feel ashamed of his weakness and con cent It, It Is merciless to the braggart who offers It to the affront of a public proclamation of his wrongdoing. We who arc men will rejoice that the courts are finally extending to us the protection which we so much need. The tyranny and Injustice of the fe male sex has wrought us to a high sense of Indignation. We have appeal ed for Justice until now In vain. At Inst we have found It In a Judge who has thrown the aegis of the law over the shoulders of one of our brothers In af fection. The occasion of this triumph was a suit for divorce. Here arc some of the things the defendant ndmltted on tho witness stand. She was a widow and proposed to the plaintiff, taking that unfair advantage of our sex so well understood by tho elder Weller when ho said, "Bevare of tho vldders, Samlval." She wns rich nnd allowed our brother $250 a year, but compelled him, moreover, to cook, wash and do chores around tho house. Once when our brother hesitated to wash tho dishes she shot at him with a revolver and unfortunately missed him. Other things she gnve him, to wit, a saddlo horse, overcont and umbrella. When our frater pawned theso sundries she swore at him. It Is not of evidence that sho swore like the army In Flan ders, but nevertheless she swore. Be sides the swenr words, she denounced him ns "Indolent, lying, deceitful nnd soft." Tho Judge granted the divorce, and stipulated Unit this tyrannical ter magant should pay our wronged broth er alimony of fill, beginning next Thanksgiving Day, the annual pay ment to be Incrensed each year by the sum of $1. Also sho must pny the law yer who stood for our deeply wronged fellow citizen the fee of $100 ensh In hnnd. And now do wo no longer sny, "O, Tlmora." The times nro not out of Joint. We have an advocato In thee, oh, righteous Judge. To supply food and fuel for tho hu man family In every clime appears to bo tho commercial destiny of this coun try. The ngltatlon In England In favor of an export tax of ono shilling a ton on Krigllsuoal has called public atten tion In this country to some very Inter esting disclosures recently niado by tho Treasury Bureau of Statistics concern ing tho rapid Invasion of the markets of tho world by American coal. In 1885 the exports of coal from the Uni ted States amounted to only i,27i!,0OO tons, while In 1000 tho total exports mounted up to 7,180,000 tons. The tig ures of tho treasury bureau Indicate that the coal exports for this tlscul year, ending Juno 30, will bo not less than 8,000,000 tons. The fuel problem in Europe is becoming the most serious economic question that engages tho at tention of the manufacturers and pro ducers as well as tho concern of tho various governments. Tho United Kingdom has been tho greatest ex porter of coal for a century nnd more. British ships still carry the bulk of the world's commerce In coal, her total ex ports last year aggregating 40,108,011 tons, while that of Germany, tho sec ond great coal exporting nation of tho world, reached a totnl of ir,l70,000 tons. While tho United Kingdom and Germany have led In the exports of coal, the coal-producing area of the United States Is many Mines greater than thnt of nny other country on the globe. In coal production the United States has also taken front rank within the last two years, her production In 1WU) being S'.'iWi.&tH tons, against UUO.Oni.THl tons for tho United King doin. In 1800 the coal production of tho United Kingdom exceeded that of the United States by 40,000.000 tons. With such amazing growth In coal produc tion and In exjKirts, and with European countries taking measures to check tho exports of coal, It Is but n question of time when the United States will be the leading coal-exporting nation of tho world. lilubln to Accidents. Watches may suffer from cold. It Is usually caused when they are laid down at night on n chilly marble table after being worn during the day. Next morning the watch Is HI, nnd begins to lose time. Tho reason Is that the sudden chill has caused parts of the mechanism to contract, and so made them to work Btltlly. Only the best watches have constitutions that will withstand rapid changes of tempera ture. Every one has hud a watch sud denly stop for no apparent reason, and go ou again when slightly shaken. This may not happcu once in a year, but all watches are liable to such an accident. This Is duo to the catching of the deli cate halr-sprlng. It Is caused by soma sudden movement, such ns Jumping on or off an omnibus, Tho Jolt muxt como at tho exact fraction of a second when the spring Is In position to catch, so that the chances of such au accident nro slight.
