Two hundred college professors have
applied for retirement on pension un
der tho provision of tho Carueglo
foundation of ten million dollars for
their relief, Tho trustees of tho fund
have lately decided that tho minimum
peiislou shall be eight hundred dollars,
but not to exceed four-fifths of the sal
ry paid at time of retirement, and
that tho maximum shall bo three thou
sand dollars. As the annual Income
from the hind will be nbout half a
million dollars, there will bo enough to
tnko care of all tho old professors In
the colleges eligible to Its benetHs.
This Includes all non-sectarian Institu
tions of college rank. Tho old ago of
tunny a worthy man will bo mndo easy
and pleasant by this great benefaction.
Quick recognition of his heroic qual
ities has come to l'rof. Mntteuecl, the
director of tho roynl observatory on
Mount Vesuvius, who remained at his
post during tho recent terrific eruption,
and mado a record of tho progress of
the event. Within less than n week
of tho height of tho volcuulo activity,
snd before all danger had passed, King
Victor Kiiunaiiucl conferred on tho
professor the rank of couiniiinder of
the Order of tho Crown of Italy, tho
most highly priced decoration for cour
ago within tho gift of tho king. None
but a man of great hardihood could
have had tho bravery to remnlu at his
tHst on tho slopo of tho mountain
while streams of lava dewed down Its
sides and red-hot ashes fell from the
sky.
After Russia Germany Is the richest
country In children. For every 10,000
Inhabitants there are 803 living births
a year, as against only 220 In France.
Hence the Increase of population In
Germany Is correspondingly great. In
tho course of tho nineteenth century
tho population within the present terri
tory of tho einplro has much more than
doubled In splto of tho considerable
numbers of Germans who have emigrat
ed during this time. In 1810 there were
24,400,000 souls In tho territory of the
present empire, whllo In 1000 there
were 50,'JOO.OOO, which corresponds to a
yearly average lncreaso of 1 per cent,
whllo more than C.000,000 Germans
have emigrated from their homes dur
ing tho nineteenth century. In order
to moasuro the meaning of these figure
we must comparo them with tlwso of n
country like France, which Is practical
ly stationary in Ita population. In the
middle of tho century thero were as
many people In France as In Germany.
In 3845 there were In Germany 04,400,
000, In France 34,600,000, while In 1820
France had nearly 4,000,000 more than
Germany. To-duy tho French popula
tion has risen only to 88,600,000 and Is
thereforo more than 20,000,000 behind
Germany.
BDenklnz of national anthems, Blr
Kdwnrd Etgnr, tho foremost ol En
eltsh comnoser. says "Rubbish I" Tho
rhyme, the sentiment nnd in most In
stances tho music, he says, are "vile."
Ills point Is that the people hnvo never
called a flue nnthem Into being an a
direct resiKinso to their national feel
ings and aspirations. Even If thoy
hnvo a good tuno for their anthem, he
says, It Is likely to bo borrowed from
somebody elue. All this may be truo
from tho musician's standpoint Hut
It Is well to bear in mind that patriot
ic songs are not written for musicians.
And It Is worUi while to note that fow
patriotic songs of any eonseiuonco wero
over written by musicians. It may lie
truo that tho national anthems fall
short of Ix-'lng real music. Hut It must
bo taken Into consideration that thoy
uro also far more than mero music. If
their music formed the solo appeal to
popularity they would not bo nation
al songs at all. A skilled musical com
poser I tho last man IH to criticise tho
songs of tho heart Ah well might a
cultured critic seek to analyse nnd eon
domn a people's love-words nnd lulla
bies. Highly refined lauguugo and mu
sic strictly according to nice rules do
vory well In transmitting the little, elu
sive emotions and In gilding the com
monplace; but n great passion Impet
uously Jluds Itn own direct way of ex
pression. The man who has heard tho
soldier bands play "The Btnr Bpangled
Haulier" at sunset after tho last day of
a bnttle, while tho beaten enemy was
lurking In his trenches only a little dis
tance away, will need no musician to
Interpret to htm the messngo or to tell
him If It Is melody. Musicians, and
especially musical composers, nro tho
Inst to bring themselves to understand
tho popular sentiment nbout music.
How shrunken nnd pitiful n thing,
how hollow a delusion, Is tho so-called
success of self-absorbed men nnd wom
en 1 I.lko that soldier who, when On
lerlus sacked tho camp of tho Persians,
found n bag of shining leather filled
with penrls nnd cnrefully presorved tho
bug but threw nwny tho contonts, thoy
will llnd that they hnvo spurned truo
riches, real success, to hug to their
hearts things that nro false nnd worth
less. Achievement Is not nlwnys suc
cess, whllo reputed failure often Is.
Mnny n poor crlpplo who struggled tin
dor his handicap, doing his best to
make himself useful, trying to reflect a
little sunshlno in the darkness nnd to
make n homo n little brighter, but Dov
er expecting special recognition hero
or hereafter, will bo surprised to (hid
his itnmo written In letters of unfad
ing light high above that of n nation's
conqueror. When tho genius of truo
history unrolls tho scroll of earth's
real benefactors It will bo found that
many who stand highest on tho list
wero hardly recognized during their
lives. The nomo of many n servant
will bo nbovo that of his master.
Mnny n liumblo employe will bo found
to have been In reality mora successful
than the proprietor of tho establish
wont In which ho worked. Truo hu
man history will bo enriched with tho
story, not of tho useless prince, but of
tho unknown boy who remained on tho
farm, helped to pny tho mortgago and
stilled his own ambition, In order that
the favorite brother might be sent to
college, and thus scored a higher suc
cess tluui tho renowned one for whom
tho sncrlfico was made. The girl who
smothered her longings for a higher
education, or snerltloed tho prospects
for mnrrlago and a homo of her own,
In orde.r to tako enro of her ngod par
outs, nnd was never known outside the
llttlo circle of n few friends, will loom ,
larger and brighter In tho truo record
of human forces than tno sister who
went to college nnd liocnuio a great au
thor, musician, in not in uiiivos. no
can estlmnto what tho world owes to.
thoso who, according to the ordinary
standards of success, hnvo failed? Who
can computo the debt of civilization to
the men and women who, In their ef-,05
forts to make tho world n little bright
er, u llttlo better place In which to
love, hnvo been too busy to make mon
ey or to nchlevo fame?
