Changes of a Lifetime. It took the Itomnn republic some uges to pass from the simple poverty of Its early dnys upon the seven hills to the nse of Augustus, but the Anicrlcati re public has made that change In ouu gen eration. In the second decade of the nineteenth century the lives of the American people were severely simple and plain. Most of the necessaries of life were raised on the farm by the people living on It. Most nt their trading was done by barter. The country people scarcely ever not hi the course of a year more than enough money to pay their taxes. The fanners' houses were ulmost destitute of furniture. Ex cept a few school books and the family Bible, there was no reading matter, ex cept In favored neighborhoods whero two or three families took a weekly newspa per together. Malls were Infrequent and postage was almost prohibitory. The era of invention had not begun. Th only means of cooking was the open tire and the brick oven. Meat was roasted by suspending from a cord attached to a hook in the ceiling. It was with great dlflkulty that fires were started or kept going. Tools and food aud the labor of men aud animals were freely borrowed and lent. Farming tools were ruJo and deficient. The poverty of farms In re spect to tools made It Impossible for farm ers to prosper except by cattle raising and the cultivation of the small grains. Heating stoves or furnaces wero un known. Communication between ills taut parts of the country was practically non-existent and transportation was of the crudest sort. Men were 'narrow and bigoted. Civilization was stationary. There was a prejudice against Innova tion and change, a belief that all wisdom was In the fathers. Contrast this simple, narrow life with the complex and broad life of the poorest farmer of our times. Think of the tools and horses, the machinery and the im proved methods he has. Think of the comforts and luxuries that are his. Think how farming has been changed from slavery to inspiring work. Then con trast the picture of the past with the general wealth, progress In education, dif fusion of knowledge, opportunities and hopefulness of our own times. Only the beginnings of the great power nf the people are so br seen. As a matter of fact the tremendous changes wrought by Improvement of communication and transportation hare made It possible for great free governments' tocxtst perma nently. It Is now and ercr will be the fashion to talk of the good old times, but In America the old times arc riot to bo com pared with ours. Our 'wealth has not spoiled the nation, though It has ruined some classes. At the core the nation Is sounder now than formerly becauso It Is wiser and better trained and equipped.

She was edu cated In Europo and on" her return homo after n slx-yeurs' absence she was pronounced, the most fubclnating woman hi tho Quaker City.

A convenient emergency fire engine Is showu lu the ncoinpnuylug Illustra tion, which, Engineering says, has sev eral commendable features. It Is man ufactured by an English concern. m m-ha Editorials tlon, when one comes to think of it, Is a simple one. Women have for luuuin crablo generations been engaged In work which does not uduilt of vacations, while man's work does. Heuco a public opin ion has grown up In the one case which does not exist In the other. The typd of woman who U liable to overwork Is conscientious. If she goes away for an absolute rest of a mouth or three months, or a year, she hears a chorus of voices denouncing her ns Idle, Incompetent or neglectful of duty. This is especially the case It she be the mother of a family. She never gets away from the care bf that family, and she Is al ways conscious of the fact that If any thing happens In her absence Bho will be condemned by a Jury of hor peeis for having been away when It occurred, Tills sort of thing takes nil tho rest out of a vacation, and few people have the uerve to disregard It. This morbid conscientiousness, how ever. Is not a thing to encourage. Tho thltlg -which every human being should do is to make sure, first, that he or she has a fair amount of the work of thu world to'do, and secoud, to stop when that share Is done. If a rest Is necessary. Of coure, most people who arc worth anything hi life do more than their shnro of work, but they should not break them selves down In the process. Every sensi ble person should find out how far It Is possible to go, with safety to health and usefulness, and stop there unless life and death aro Involved. In that wuy more will be accomplished for one's sulf and for others than by continual over work out of some notion of pride or duty which is not rest conscientiousness at all. New York News. Tho Pros and Crime Much has been said and written upon the Idea that the press, by tho publication of tho details of crime, incites to the commission of other crimes. Becauso the details of a sulcldo or a murder are some times copied by other suicides or mur derers there are those who gencrallxe from that fact that a curb should be put upon the press to restrain them from giv ing the sensational Incident's of such tra gedies. People who argue In that fashion to such conclusions understand human na ture Imperfectly. They who know most of the psychology of the human animal understand that there Is no rigid law-1 of Imltatlrcness that will explain Incidental replications of example. Tho futility ;of appealing to any such law was evidenc ed In tho cases of Cain and Abel, The law docs not exist, else both those boys would have been righteous Instead of but tho one, nnd to-day wo would be rejoiced by seeing only good boys nud good girls In tho families of which tho parents dre models of morality. Humanity Is born croked twisted Into a living interrogation point. It wants to know all about things ns soon as It finds out that there arc things. It Instinc tively wants to put this nnd that together aud get at the ends of things and that Is why the baby tries to put his toes In his mouth 1 That same inborn curiosity follows tho human creature always aud PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S OFFICIAL YACHT, THE MAYFLOWER. President Roosevelt's official yacht, the Mayflower, has been practically remado and more than $50,000 bus beep spent on fitting up her Interior In a style that rivnls the royal and Imperial yachts of European princcs'aud potentates. Not thu Hohcnrollcrn Itself can outdo the prCKidenthil yarht In splendor, luxury aud beauty of appointments, upbuUtery and decoration. The President's personal opurtmentH, lu the aft of the iescl, are a dreum of princely beauty and comfort. He has six statu rooms for his own use and for the use of his family. Silk hang ings, soft carpets, thu most expensive of funey wood, fine mosaics, luxurious eny chair and lounging sofas, glittering art bedsteads and other equipments of this kind wait on tho presidential pleasure when he sees fit to take the sea air. Sim ilarly with the culinary department. The kitchen aud dining room staff cnu serve on short notice a feast fit for a kins. The Mayflower was formerly tho property of Mrs. Ogden (loelet, It was purchased by the government at tho time of the Spanish war aud had been lying lde since then, llecently the Presi dent decided to have It fitted for his peixoual use, The presidential yacht has a displacement of 2,(11)0 tons, U equipped with twin screws and has a borsu power of 4,700. It is one of the fastest steam yachts afloat. It consists of a threo cylinder pump, mounted on n truck and driven by u petroleum motor, In case of an emer gency, tho pump Is ready at once, with out loss of tlinu lu raising pressure with a steam engine. Its ethcleucy Is assured through thu numerous tests which have been made particularly agalust tires in highly Inflammable materials. Cubn's 1'Iuk Is Old. The flag of tho Cuban republic ante dates the establishment of the republic Itself by a good many years. It dates back to nlmtu 1850, It has a Masonic origin nnd hence tho triangle. Thej red Held Is tho emblem of war. The, purpose of tho movement here lu thb United States was to conquer tho Isl and. Southern people, fighting Ma sons, were tho leaders. The three stripes 'represented the three depart ments Into which tho Island was then divided. The white stripes wero put In merely to divide tho blue. The star which appears In the red Held was the lone star of Texas, In New Orleans there existed tho Association of the accounts for the enormous growth "f newspapers and gives Invincible support to tho doctrine of the freedom of the press. One of the greatest laments of a read ing civilisation Is that the world's his tory begun before the printing press was Invented nnd the reporter who interviews got on the scene. How really satisfying It would be even now to read the details of the meeting between Satan and Eve, a stenographic report of their conversa tion nud graphic Interviews with Adam after he got fired from the Garden of Eden nnd with Noah ofter he ran aground on Ararat! Newspaper makers know human na ture better than amateur moralists. They do not find that news reports of crimes breed crimes any more than news reports of sermons breed conversions, or news reports of gifts to charity set everybody or many bodies crasy to make large dona tions and get their names printed. Tho real newspaper gives tho news tho sto ries of the dally life of tho world-the good, the' evil, the Svlse and the silly, be cause the public want to know It all ahd will be satisfied with nothing less, lhe newspaper U printed for the nlnety-and-nine that are wide awake, and not for the one who yearns for tho millennial agel Atlanta Constitution. Playing with Moral Fire. In various parts of tho country thcrs has been an extraordinary number of tragedies of late arising out of the adven tures of unmarr!6d women with married men. Morbid literature, chletly of for clgn birth or extraction, has been pro moting In this country the myth of pla tonic affection between men and women, married and single. Almost nvarlably the prismatic Illusion Is actualUed in a somber ending. If crime does not smirch both tho parties or annihilate either tho reputation of both suffer, and it is tho unwritten low that the woman In such a case snlTers beyond repair, while the guil ty man escapes or endures with compla cency the stigma which cannot be ef faced from the future of his companion. There Is no prudence In mincing words about these escapades. A married man or woman who seeks Intimate and con stant companionship outside tho family circle to which he or she belongs Is eith er a libertine or a fool. No plea of extenuation can bo set up for tho moral laches of a mnrrbd man or married woman. They know perfectly well that they are playing with firo or playing tho trapper of Inexperience. No family of Intelligence or self-respect will tolerate social attentions from n married man to an unmarried woman when those attentions transcend tho bounds of abso lute decorum. Vet mothers who are am bitious or avaricious will let their Inno cent daughters pluy with this moral firo with whose 'llamo nlno times hi ten th'jy are bound to be burnt. Many a blackened homo Is n grim monument to the sataulc character Of the myth of platoulc love between married men and unmarried women and no less often between married women nnd un married men.
