Four thousand blcycllsta gathered at a rendezvous In Boston early In May to show that they had not lost Interest In the sport This Is pretty good evi dence that the wheel retains some of Its old-time popularity. Borne day, when the civilized and en lightened nations And themselves with no wars on their hands, the duty of uniting for the purpose of blotting the murderous Turk from the map of the world will become paramount Marquis Ito warns the Japanese that they cannot win on American sympa thy alone. Ito probably understands that American, as well aa moat of the other kinds of sympathy, goes only to the point at which It begin to coat sonsy. . The late John J.

Whither are we drifting Can we be certain of anything nowadays? Twenty thousand quarts of skimmed saUk a day are used In Austria for making substitutes for horn, Ivory, amber and such like things. The casein In the milk la precipitated by a chemical process and then mixed with formaline. This producoa galalith, o petrified milk, a hard, elastic, Insoluble substance thnt la easily worked. Tho Austrian dairy experts think that the demand for tho skimmed milk for this purpose will be great enough to In crease the profit In the butter-making business by producing a ready market (or the by-product Forirlo Dlas will have been Presi dent of Meilco twenty-eight yeara on November 80th. And everybody ex pect htm to be elected for .another term. During all bla long period of public aervlce be haa been working to establish a atable government, and to train his couutrymou In the arts of self-rule. Tue task has boou difficult, for In his youth revolutions were as common In Mexico ns they now aro In tho potty republics farther south. Whenevor he has spokon of rollrlntj there has arisen such a bitter dispute among the nBplrunts for his plncothat ho has each tlmo concluded his work was not yet done. It Is evident that be still thinks It would not tako much to stir up trouble, for nt hi sugges tion the constitution has recoutly boon amended, extending the president's term to six years, and providing for a vice-president. Now he cm. solect as candidate for the second place a man after bis own heart, and train hint to the duties of tho presidency, so that whatever may happen to him uo Is noarly seventy-four years old and In fooble health n peaccahlo future for his country will be assured for six years more. In now countries pcoplo change their , plnco of resUloueo frequently. Not bt lug tied down by long fumlly attach ments, tlioy move nbout until they 11 nd a epot that suits thorn, In only n few of tho oldest American communities are estates held In one lino for genera tions, and the custom seems not to bo growing. How readily Americans "move" Is shown by tho fact that hardly two-thirds of tho Representa tives and only about half uio Senators In Congress wore born In tho Stated which they now sorve. No member of either House from Colorado, Idaho, Montana, tho Dakotns, Washington or Wyoming Is a native of tho State ho represents. Botli Senators of, old In diana woro loru In Ohio; no wero the West Virginia Senators. Speaker Can non, of Illinois, was born In North Car olina, and Mr, Williams, of Missis sippi, tho Democratic lender, In Ten nessee, Virginia Is tho largest State represented In both Houses wholly by native sons. Delaware, Maine and Ver mont are the only others on tho list Pennsylvania Is represented chlcrty by native Pennsylvanlans, but New York, among tho old States, shows an oppo site tendency. In tho early history of tho country men often bocnino promi nent in tho politics of several Htntcs iu turn. James Shields, whose flguro tnd in Statuary Hall as tho gift of Illinois, served three States In the United States Senate. "Sunsot" Cor represented Ohio in Congress, and af terward Now York. Qeorgo W. Jones held important offices in Missouri, Wis consin, Iowa and the Northwest Terri tory. Senator Elkins, of West Vir ginia, was at one time the territorial delegate from New Mexico. From the reports of the struggle be tween Russia and Japan, the New York World draws tho conclusion that "the conditions of war and those of modern civilization are rajildly becom ing irreconcilable" To Illustrate this goncral truth by a particular example It says: "Take tho question of float ing mines at sea. Tho Russians say that If the Japanese ships can 11 o ten miles from their coast and throw shells Into their towns they have a right to protect themselves with such weapons as will reach the ships. And In this they are perfectly logical. But neutrals are equally logical in hold ing that it Is an Intolerable invaalon of their rights to strew the high seas, the common property ef all nations, with deadly explosives. From this deadlock there Is only one escape, and that lies In the abolition of war Itself." As the world condemns war on prin ciple It Is not specially enamored of this doctrine of necessity, and, of course, It has very little moral valuo. There can be no doubt however, that It Is dostined to exert practical Influ ence, and that as that Influence In creases the Influence of tho moral con demnation of war will Increase also. The way the two forces, the practical and the Idealistic, work together Is clearly shown In tho history of more than ono country, writes a contributor to tho editorial pago of tho Chicago Record-Herald. There was a time, for example, in tho history of the United States when the opponents of slavery woro comparatively fow In numbers and apt to be classed as sentimental ists. Even that part of tho country In which sluvc-holdlng and stnvo-tradlng had disappeared was slow to tako up tho antl-slavcry cmsado. When It did so, howovcr, Its courso was largely determined by tho fact that It bad no Interest In tho holding or tho trading, and It was Anally driven into war by tho Immensely practical question of disunion. Meanwhile, Just through tho operation of practical considera tions, the moral considerations became more and more popular. People saw, with a clearer vision what It was to their Interest to see, and In tlmo tho greater emphasis waa placed generally upon the moral Issue because of the satisfaction that comes from the pro fession of sound morals and the credit that auch profession brings. If now, as The World says, war has be come a general nuisance, owing to tho complexity of the business relations of civilized States, the vast cost of armaments, and the terr.bly destruc tive character of modern weapons, It will And less and leas favor on prac tical grounds, the moral condemnation of It will spread, and apologists who preach peace most of the time, but throw in an occasional whoop with a sublime disregard of consistency, will cease to plead for exceptions. Nor are we reduced to stating the matter hy pothetical. For It Is evident that both the moral and tho practical forces are working more effectively than they ever have before. The Hague confer enco and recent arbitration agreements are highly significant of the general disgust Uiat Is felt for war, despite tho efforts that are made to belittle Uiem, and If the Japanese overcome the Russians, tho check to national brlgaudago such as has been practiced upon tho Chlncso' by several powers will dlseoursgo tho gamo in one quar ter of the world at least The Habit or floandal. Old Mrs. Ktheridge had loved gossip all her life, but although nor ears were always ready for It, sho had schooled her tongue to disapproval. Nobody minded what sho said, for although she might shake her head and utter nor customary mild reproof, her eyes nover failed to cxpreae Interest nnd a desire for moro Information. Tho ono phraso which roso to her Ups when tho tale was ended had be come ho habitual thnt toward tho close of hor life sho occasionally employed It Involuntarily. "Have you ever heard nbout 1M wanU" asked one of tho family con nection, moving her chair closo to tho old lady's rocker aud lenulng over con fidentially, Grandmother TMherlrigo shook, her head and put hor hand to her ear. 'They say," announced tho relative In strident tones, "that he's making a Bplendld uamo for himself, and hns been offered n salary of fifteen thou sand dollars by another firm, and that ho Is just as clover as he can be, hns hosts of friends there In Chicago, and deserves thorn all I" Tho light of pride nnd Joy ahono In tho old lady's eyes, but custom was too strong for her tongue. "You shouldn't repent It, dear," sho quavered. "There's n wrong story eouiewherol" Skoptlo ami lViteliiiUt. Mr. Do Ian looked nt his visitor with nu expression of coullrmcd opposition, and during tho friend's argument ho further emphasized his disagreement by an occasional emphatic shnko of the head, "Nitty, I don't hold wld lolfo-lnsur mice companies, nor yet wld savings banks," ho said, stubbornly, "A cou sin o' mo own, ho had his lolfo Insured for tho benellt o' his wlddy, nu' nfther nil ho nivvor had one, for 'twas him lived to bo eighty, an' her thnt iloliM. "Wld banks it's Just the other way," ho continued, "For there wns mo own uncle; ho put money Iu the, bunk, and ho kept sticking It In nnd sticking It in, In tho hopes that vthln old age como ho cud tako It out gradual lolke and enj'y himself; and lustid o' thnt, 't.vas him that hud tho wlddy befooru ho touched sixty-two. They're wurrk ed on tho wrong plan, tho both o' thlm Institutions, man, aud It's n wonder to mo to hear you sp'uklng a good wurrd for 'em," Many a man Is too stubborn to ad mlt that ho Is related to tho mule, Some men uctuully know u fow of the things they believe.
