Another benutlful thing about tho tgg Industry Is tlmt It line demon trntcd I til Independence of a trust John D. Rockefeller Is charged with being a poor spoiler. Pcrhnps this ac count for the fact that it isn't written "Rockafellow." Primitive man Is supposed to hsre lived on roots. But let us not be too gutclc to envy him. Perhaps somebody had a monopoly on roots. In Birmingham, England, they are manufacturing power from garbage. Some of It Is probably strong enough when they gather It on a hot day. "China Is suspected of being two faced," says a contemporary. We can't believe it If it had another face it wouldn't wear the one it uses now. Anybody who can Invent a safe and sauo method of fastening tho feminine lint In place mny consider that his fortuno Is made. Tho present plu Is a deadly wenpon. Count Wltto Is reported to bo very pvPHlmlntlc nt till time. Wc don't blmiio hliu. In fact, wo enn't under stand whnt right nuy KuhhIiiii litis to bo very cheerful. Secretary Hlmw says ho would go 1,000 miles to seo thu grave of n gov ernment employe who hud died of over work. Hut suppose ho wero tho occu pant of it himself? The New York Bun believes In calling a "leg" a leg, as well nu In calling a "spado" a spade. Thu tiso of "limb" for "leg" the Hun condemns as both vulgar and nmblguous. Hottentot widows cut off a finger Joint every tlmo they remarry. If tlmt custom wero adopted In this country, Newport would soon be known as tho homo of tho club-handed women. It appears tlmt the original "Dend wood Dick," thu dlmo novel hero, be rnmu a peddler of guiu In his old age. Tho Inducements fur becoming n hero get smaller and smaller every year. Tho United Mates Is going to build tho lilggont buttle ship In the world as a move Inward universal pence, on tho theory Hint nuy nation which gets n gliiupHO of the big ship will bo ttonrod too bud to stnrt anything. "If there was money to bo given out," suld one of the railroad oIIIcIiiIh who hud been cuuglit In tho graft net, "1 was there to tuko It." This seems to bo the great trouble at the present lime, Apparently there Is ulwaya botue body uil hand to take It. EugllHh-itpeakliig peoplo are reluctant to Interfere with political liberty, but It become a herloiw question how far they are bound to oxoivUo Mich re straint In dealing with tlitwo whoe uvowed objivt h to dettroy all civilized toclcty by force, and who regard good government n worse than bud gov ernment by tho very fact of their be ing good. If the revolutionary aunreli 1st of liui'opo and America- ehoosu to miilio tluunselve.H nu International men iieo they may bo Hiiro tlmt Hooiety will Jlnd uieaiiH of protecting Itself. Many practice which ten yenrs ago, the year ngo, ouo year ago, and even ilx months ago were In favor, public opinion having no condemnation for them, nro now held to bo odious and even criminal. Till Is pcrhnps tho most notnblo development of tho day, namely, tho creation of n higher stand ard for tho conduct of American busi ness. The revelations of graft lu tho lusuranco nud railroad companies nro a shock to national pride nud yet there Is hardly an American who does not know that In ouo form or another graft has entered largely Into the corornto life as Into tho political life of tho country. Tho saving clause of the sit uation Is that It scorns n passing phase In our national progress. The optimist bus reason to rejoice that the national conscience has been touched and that nubile opinion I establishing higher ideals. It Is a grand thing for tho country nud Its future that tho American lad ami young girl, with whom tho na tion's futuro will rest, have taken thor oughly to tho outdoor llfo and Us l.enlthglvlng bports. Wo used to bo considered an energtle but exceedingly nervous people, living In superheated rooms In winter, cnreWs of our diet, with pantry us tho national dish, dys jepsln us tho national disease an.l In Mgoratlug athletic sports almost un known among our recreations. How different everything Is now I took about you nt tho young men nud women of tho hour, devoted to golf, tenuis, base ball, boating, field, track and water ports of all kluds, riding, limiting and what not, and sco tho glow of health tlint la in tliolr cheeks. Does It not foretell tho story of tho country's great cr futuro? Can anything go wrong with n peoplo so physically well Inllt that moral clearness of vision, high tun bltlons and ability to strlvo and win must neccHsnrlly go with it? A minister in nn Ohio town recently mndo a cnuvass by mail to nscertuln why so largo a proportion of the men of his community absented thcmselvcM trout church. Ho received tho usual explanations. Tho absentees stuyed nwny, they suld, becuuso they wero tired on Sunday and wanted recreation, becuuso tho sermons wero dull, because church members tronted them coldly when they went, and becnuso many church members wero hypocrites. If more frequency of repetition wero de cisive these explanations of church nb tontcolsm would havo to bo accepted us tho truo ones, for they havo been offered lnnumerablo times. Tho ques tion naturally arises, however, why, if desire for recreation, dull sermons, and hypocrites are what keep men away, they do not also keep women away? The studies by Havelock, Ellis, Btar buck, Prof. Coo, and others of the psy chology of religion suggest that the chief cause of the "eternal feminine" in the churches may be found in the fun damental differences of nature of the exes. The feminine nature tends to be passive and susceptible, the mascu line to be active and insusceptible. The different qualities are met with in vary ing degrees In different men and wom en, but this description of the two sex ual temperament Is generally recog nized as roughly correct This may ex plain why tho churches hare attracted women more strongly than men. Tho Sunday services obvl6usly mako their npponl chiefly to the passive, suscepti ble side of tho naturo. This Is always tnio of tho music. It gorerally has been no less truo of tho sermon. Tho vutues which havo been most constant ly Inculcated from tho pulpit an es sential to tho splrltunl llfo havo been thoso of meekness, forgiveness, fVth, prnyorfulncss, etc. Tho moro aggressive moral and civic virtues seldom havo been treated as constituents of "spirit ual'ty." It Is a remarknble fact that until recently, oven when church so cletlos wero formed for charitable and other purposes requiring active effort, they usually were composed exclusively of women. Thero Is marked tendency among American churches at tho pres ent time to lay moro streis on the ac tive virtues and afford more opportun ity for their exercise. .Ministers are preaching moro than they over did be fore on people's duty not only to Ino leaceably, honestly, and decoutly them Mitres but to do something to Improve political and social conditions. "Men's unions" havo been formed in mnuy chtirrhcs, and tho number which not only malntntns missions but auppoits social settlements is growing. .Many nro extending and making more prac tical their charitable work, and some nro oven talking of building model ten cutouts. It will bo Interesting to oh servo whnt effect, If nny, these chnnges In sermons and extensions of religious activity havo upon tho male attendance nud membership. On tho theory of tho psychologists they, In tho long run, should strongly stlmulnto men's Inter est In the churches' work, and Judging by what has taken place In some "In stitutional" churches they are adapted to produco this result.
