The nitin who kicks himself for hav ing inntlo n fool of himself only adds Insult to Injury. Clothes do not maku ttio mnn, but his tiillor frequently gives him an expen sive nppenriiuce. Nobody can hlanio Oen. Miles for wanting to Imvu a chance occasionally to do somethliiR to earn his salary. The younger Mrs. Vanderhllt nas not as yet been deprived of the privilege of employing her mother-in-law's dress maker. Thoso who are satlslled with what they lmvo accomplished will never be come famous for what they might ac complish. Under the new code of railway eti quette It will of course, be Improper for the conductor to punch a passen ger's ticket. J. IMorpont Morgan has taken a $1'-V 000,000 mortgage on Chill. There aro only n few back counties left for Mr. Morgan to nt'qulrc. The man who wears on chip on his shoulder and the woman who wears Bong-bird feathers In her hat both luck something of good taste In dress. Mr. Itockefeller's Cleveland pastor nays there are anarchists among tho rich, but he wisely leaves tho Hhoo to bo put on by thoso who think It may lit them. lllshow Kowler says thero Is no life bo conducive to laziness as tho minis try. Still, most of tho ministers seem to overcome tho tired feeling sulllcleut- ly to wrlto books between times. Tho distressing iiowb coml's from At W8 comVs gster of: t lanta that a youngster of that city wallowed u ping-pong ball and tho physicians hadlto work several hours before tho game could be resumed, Secrotury Hay has recently Induced a man not to publish a book on tho Uoor war. It has herotoforo been sup posed that nothing could arrest that dtseaBo once It got Into a man's sys tem. Tho noston Herald thinks that Tetcr Power Is the partner of tho person who picked n peck of plcklod peppers. A reporter called nt tho Power houso to ask about this but was unablo to flml Mr. Power In. A nowspapcr man who saw n good deal of Prlnco Henry of Prussia puts tho cap-sheaf on nil tho eulogies by saying that tho prlnco Is tho kind of follow with whom ono could very pleasantly spend six months alono on a desert Island. That Is tho supreme nnd tlnal nest of character for prlnco or peasant, whether n mun "wears well." Pneumonia claimed ten thousand four hundred and eighty victims In Now York City last year, yet pneumo nia Is classed ns a preventable dis ease. It Is to prevention that modern unitary science now devotes Iteslf, If Havana can bo purltled from tho seeds of yellow fever by evtermluatlug tho moBquftoes, why cannot Now York and tho other great cities bo swept clean of pneumonia germs? I ; , i Nearly twenty-llvo hundred students nsslbtcd In a single year Is tho record of Andrew Carnegie's noble gift to tho Scotch universities, as given In the 11 rut annual report of tho trustees of the fund. One who knows tho privations which poor Scottish students will en duro for the sake of an education will bo prepared to accept the statement of the trustees that the remission of fees lias proved to bo tho greatest boon to n long list of deserving students. It seems Impossible for tho average American to Indulge In any sport in moderation, Kxcess or nothing Beems to bo tho rule. It was so with roller skating and will bo so with other forms of amusement. Wheeling may come In again after niuny years, but It will never rage again. Most of thoso who use tho wheel now do It as n mat ter of convenience In business and not for pleasure, l'ooplo of means are tak ing up the automobile, and soon racing will be tho madness of thousands for u time. When tho health of tho di Iv ors shall be affected ami tho cost und annoyance of accidents shall become serious that sport will lu Its turn de cline. It Is said that tho Iniluenco of tho cooking schools Is already being felt In domestic life, and that the standard of living, or at least of cooking, Is much higher because of these modern Institutions, Formerly the school girl ate. or was told to eat. what was set before her, and grumblings of a gas trouotnlcnl niituro were not tolerated. Rut now the young girl looks with u critical eye upon tho cook's preparu tlous, and she knows tho reason why when these do not turn out well. Through her tho family has lost much of Its pathetic dependence upon tho professional cook, und u cook less con dition Is robbed of half Its terrors when thero Is an amateur of no meun ability within the family clrclo. And tlu) ffct upon the pupil liervtlt la most beneficial, for only one who lias grown bruln-weary of figures und dates knows the delight of mixing up nctuul Ingredients and awaiting ma terial results. It Is also much to be hoped that the training of amateur cooks will cause thoso who consider themselves professionals to loolt to their laurels and to give over the hit-or-mlss methods of cooking, which Ho oftn decide If our da dor Shall lie fretful nnd anxious or Joyous nnd lie Kny, With higher culinary Ideals tho men tal and spiritual development of man ought to be assured. Speaking of the disturbance the Rus sian students arc making, tho Pall Mall Gazette remarks: "After all, It Is tho younger generation knocking at the door, and If the door Is not opened It stands a good chance of being kicked In." Tho Russian police, In other words, nio wrestling with tho Incorrigible. No doubt the pollco would sooner deal with Anarchists or Nihilists, whose heads they could bat ter and whose lives they could shorten without exciting the animosity of any one except the professional King-kill-er; but the gentlemen at St. Peters burg say to the police: "Go ahead! Put down that rebellion!" and tho pollco must either obey or resign. The sever ity of their task may be understood by Imagining the pollco of Cambridge and of New Haven trying to suppress the Indignation of the students at Yule and Harvard and at Hiidcllffe, In ad dition. Tor we read that the young women of tho Russian universities are as eager for reform as are tho young men, and that they suffer Just as much In their eagerness, Now It Is an ex traordinarily serious thing for any government to bo openly at war with Its young men and young women with the younger generation. In n spirit of fuif or In a moment of reck less enthusiasm our own college stu dents may lightly mock some munici pal ordinance; but ns for defying tho police, and through them the olllclnls of the government, and as for being (logged Into submission and bundled Into Jail by the score that's a matter of darker hue. It seems that all thoso who represent Russian youth In tho arts and tho sciences aro In a stato of sedition. Wo fancy that Nicholas and his coadjutors nro not giving all their attention to tho Mauchurlnu question. Tho younger generation Is lullammn- bio, and Russia Is foolish to bo ludlf ferent to that fact. The congestion of population In cities Is not peculiar to this country alone, though It Is probably moro marked hero than elsewhere. It has prevailed In Great Iirltaln, but has been less no ticeable on tho continent. It Is Inter esting to observe that It Is most preva lent, generally speaking, whero com mercial and Industrial activity pre vails. Tho growth of tho German capi tnl, Ilerlln, for ono example, has been exceptionally rapid for tho continent slnco German Industrial activity set In within recent years. Until a dozen or fifteen years ago It was rather n sleepy city, oven after tho consolida tion of the cmplro, but by If KM) It had advanced to 1,843,000 popiilatlon and Htood fourth among tho world's cities, London, Now York and Paris outrank ing It anil Chicago pressing close be hind It. Koiently a new census has been taken and It now numbers 1,001, r07, showing growth at tho rato of aboht 110,000 per year. This rato has been surpassed In Chicago and no doubt this city now ranks fourth In the world. It Is u curious fact that of the four cities of tho world tho pop ulation lu each of which exceeds -',-000,000 two nro In tho United Stntes, tho youngest In tho list of considera ble nations. One might think It acci dental lu some way, but It Is also true that tho United States are tho only one of tho world's nations that has more than one city of moro than 1,000,000 population, Tho last census gave us three and lu equity should have given us four, for the populous suburbs clus tered closely about lloston aro as truly lioston as tho Hack Kay and Ueacou street regions themselves. Within a radius of twenty-live miles around tho capltol on Reacon hill thero must bo considerably more than 'J.000,000. Tho development of street railway lines has checked tho congestion or rather spread It over wider space for each city, and that, together with the "good roads" movement, will tend to send u return tlow from the urban Into tho rural regions, but It will remain tbjit urban growth will attend Industrial activity and tho grave and abiding problem will continue to bo liow to keep It as nearly healthful as possible. NumliiK tm Chilli. Now, necessarily, when tho new girl baby arrived there was much discus sion among the members of tho fam ily as to what her name should be. "Wo will call her 'Gertildlue,' " said tho ilrst grandmother. "I saw thai name lu a story once, and always wanted to try It on a baby." "Oh," murmured tho Becond grand mother, "that would never do. Let us call her Fanehon. " "Rut don't you think 'Ettessa' Is a pretty name, and so odd, too?" put In ono of the aunts. "Kxcuso me, ladles," ventured the poor father, who sat uearby, "but you seem to forgot that wo aro trying to tlnd a naino for a human being, aud not for a tivo-cent cigar," ltaltlmoro American.
