Let the young men who think of atartlng out to mako a fortuuo aa a gambler atop right now and reuuimber that every dollar left by "Pittsburg l'hll" waa lost by aoniu other gambler. Tlio reappearance of oun of thoae historic letters containing the Injunc tion to burn It, and which did not get burned, calls attention to one case In which science and Invention have not como up with the nemls of progress. Some Inventions are wonderful; but the paths of statesmanship will never be easy until a time fuse la perfected which will mako sum of burning up tho letter to which It Is attached. A man falling on a slippery side walk, Instead of dropping In a leis urely, gentlemanly manner, like a boy falling from tho burn, goes down so quick that tho aldewalk smokes, Tho toy, falling front tho rldgepolo or out uf a tree. Is very much le.su hurt than tho prominent citizen fulling from a point only three or four feet above the Idownllc, Tho reason W simple. The ioy U ferae naturae, but the man Is stiffened with dignity at paying tax- and voting for tho wrong party Uiat If he wrsnehes bluiHelf anywhere tiomothlng oraekx, aV bo careful that our dignity doesn't hardon on us and becoiuv a Nhell, for that Is whut Is the mutter with the lobster. Uow country life Is attracting a greater number of American every year Is shown In no clearer way than liy the Increase In periodicals dorotcd to Its various phases. As to lxoks on topics of this kind, each season brings them In greater numbers, until it imidi as If the wholo population must be Interested In the country to the extent of buying books and periodicals n the subject. The Kssteruer la told by one writer how to build a log cab in, and by another how to run a duck farm on a pond. Mountain cottages, forest cottages, lake cottages, are de scribed In a maimer that make the reader long to abandon the steam heated flat for, a broesy country home with chinks between the logs aud holes la the roof. Kvery once In a while a wave of public sentiment sweeps across the country, aa definable In Ita movement ml character as any other real and lihyalcal thing. Generally speaking, thla popular feeling Amis expression In suggested legislation or constitutional amendment. Any student of Ameri can history, viewed from its political and legislative standpoint, knows that an examination of congressional rec ords presents a panorama, so to apeak, of great public movements, culmina ting sometimes In actual legislation, but more frequently subsiding without definite result, it Is a good thing to clear the political and social atmos phere with these upheavals. Stagnant air Is fatal, and even a cycloue, with all Ita accompanying trouble, la pref erable to an atmosphere so heavy that It haa lost all Ita vitality. Greasy, dirty and unsanitary paper wuey constitutes one of tli dtmn ablt features of tho jLaoorlMa urres cy system which the basks and tho government have made no very earn est effort to reform. Perhapa tho dan ger from bacteria la not so aorloua aa some Instigators would have ue be Hove, but msjiy of the notes of smull domonlnatlon do become disgustingly dirty, and the contrast between the general run of tho American notes and those, for Instance, of the Dank of England Is sufficiently striking to prove that something might bo done to Improve conditions here. One effect of tho preeent conditio! of tho paper cur rency aud of the lack of postal curren cy system la the very large use of postage stamps for minor business transactions. Thla has grown to enor mous proportions, to the acute Incon venience of many large mercantile con cerns, and will contribute to the In creasing pressure for a remedy. The nation recently through Ita rep resentative at Washington resionded impressively to Emerson's sentiment that civilisation la tho power of good women. There waa a striking recog nition of thla power when tho atatue of Francos R. Wlllard waa unrolled In the capital. Moreover, aa tho statue stands, tho first memorial to woman In Htntuary Hall, the personal distinction through which tribute Is paid to the sex commands Immediate assent. Miss Wlllard was known throughout this country and throughout the world. Few statesmen have achieved a celeb rity as wide aa hers, and none was ever more devoted to a noble work for the uplifting of humanity. It may be anld also that to that work she brought abilities of an order rare among wom en or men. Hhe was a great organizer, an effective speaker, a dominant per aonallty In any assemblage. Hhe had the enthusiasm that Is the "height of man" combined with common sense, a sound understanding and a rich gift of humor. Huch endowment as hers would make a splendid equipment for anyono who should aspire to be a leader of public thought. Having thla endow ment, she made such effective uss of It as to exert an Imperishable Influence upon the good cause with which lior name Is most closely Identified. Her fame was secure through her works, and ths nation honors Itself lu honor ing tills line type of womanhood. The painstaking researches of Am bassador 1'orter In Paris lu (juest of the burial place of Admiral John l'aul Jones have been crowned with suc cess to the extent, at least, that It Is now believed to be known that the re malus He somewhere under one of sev eral tenements which wore built many years ago ou the site of an old cem etery. (Irnernl Porter Is not a man who la likely to be deceived lu a mat ter of this kind. Paul Jonea was tho only American hero of. rank and Im portance to 11 nd an unmarked grave lu a foreign land. More a soldier of for tune than a warrior belonging to any particular country, he nevertheless was the first American admiral, and his prowess on the seas gave the first Im pulse to a' naval history which has always been creditable and most of the time glorious. Peace aud Independence lu tho United States wero altogether too monotonous for him when wnrs were in progress elsewhere, and dur ing his later years he was In the serv ice of Ilusalii aud Franco, dying lu the last-named country at n time when many other notables were hurried to nameless graves, If Paul Jones' re mains can be found they should bo transferred to tho United Btatea and burled with all the honors of war, participated In by tho ships of one of the greatest naval CMtubUHMiicntB on earth, an a tardy but none the less merited disavowal by the republic of the perslNtent alaudera which have been heaped upon his memory. It has pleased most Ilrltlsh writers, historians and orators to characterize the first American admiral an a "pirate," and even now, when good feeling between the two Kngllsh-spraktng peoples Is properly cultivated, the old falsehood frequently crops out. Tho ashes of Paul Jones borne from France to America on a first-class battleship, es corted by French aud American squad rons and given Interment at Arlington with tlio honors due his rank and serv ices, would be an excellent answer to this libel, and It would be worth all the money that It Is likely to cost. Paul Jones was an adventurer, no doubt, but he was no pirate. Ills serv ice In the Infant American navy was as regular aa that of any admiral alnce his day, A Memory Method, Association la the vital spring of memory, and any one who analyses his thought process may catch hlmoelf recalling a thing by a series of allied things. Many people have tried to sys tematise association and arrange a sci entific memory method, A mathematician haa discovered a most Interesting process for remember ing dates. Suppose yon have forgot ten the year of the Norman Conquest Take the date of your birth ami add to It the number of the month when you were born. Multiply the result by the day of the month your father was born. Squaro tho result. Add six. Now divide by the cube root of the number of people In the United States. Forget the result, add ten hundred and slxty-slx, aud you have the required date. Voir Knowledge. Does he apeak French!"
