Tho fact that eight of the eleven
members of tho new French eablnet nro
or have been Journalists demonstrates
nuow tho Importance of this profession
In France. It Is tho avenue to dis
tinction, ns the bar Is In Knghuid nnd
the United States. The iwrsonnl ele
ment In tho French journals Is of
course tho reason. The leading nrtloles
nre signed, mid a man may make n rep
utation through them In n few weeks,
whereas tho English or American Jour
nalist mny write thousands of brilliant
leaders and remain unknown. Which
of the two systems is tho better Is a
(llllleult question to decide, although
many bold that the anonymous aytem
la the more likely to secure a uolld,
well-balanced nnd responsible press.
Novelists, komo of whom may never
have owned u dress mat, uses I to bo
fond of drawing, In their tales, a sharp
oclal distinction between person who
"dressed for dinner" and those who
did not. Now the editor of a Hrltlsh
medical Journal has been discussing
and commending from a hygienic point
of view tho habit of dressing for din
ner, livery one known that a change of
clothing la often refreshing. The Hug
llsh editor believes that tho effect la
physical ns well as mental, or physical
through tho mental stimulus, nnd ad
vines thnt even tho hard-working
clerk, tho shopkeeper nnd the laboring
man cast off their workaday clothes
and put on clean clothing for tho even
ing meal, when tbo toll of the day Is
over.
Like- n good many other current dis
coveries and gospels, tho IiIkIi-voUwI
talk respecting the necessity for re
stricting tho right of marrtago to phy.
tcally Bound people It as old ns civil
ization. Indeed, the theory goes back
of civilization and extends to bnrbnr
Ism, for many savage tribes summarily
killed off the unlit. Bo far from per
mitting them to mnrry, they would not
permit them to live. In an ago when
fighting wan tho chief end of man phy
sical perfection was an Indispensable
qunllllcatlon. Tho weaklings, male nnd
female, had to go the males becauso
they could not tight and tho females
becauso they could not bear lighters.
In this stage of tho earth's progress .
tho war factor does not 'enter Into tho I
mnttor wi strongly, but nil humnno nnd
discriminating people must and do
agree that the mating of physical or
mental weaklings, and especially those
affected with the so-called hereditary
diseases, Is strongly to be deprecated
on grounds of humanity nnd expedien
cy. No rellectlng person desires the de
generation of tho race. Hut tho con
temporary clamor over the mutter by
Ieople who put the question ujkjii n
purely nnlmnl basis will lend to noth
ing save tho disinclination of most per
sons to discuss It nt all. There can bo
no proper objection to necessary plain
spenklng, but there enn be nnd there
Is nu objection to continual harplnf on
a subject which Is perfectly familiar to
everybody already. Nobody defends
tho mating of tho unlit. Tho mnrrlago
of consumptives, for Instance. Is ob
viously wrong and undesirable. Hut
the evil results of such a marriage can
not bo emphasized because everybody
Is fully nwnro of them nlrendy. The
whole thing, In n few words, Is tin re
discovery by people who nro always
making such discoveries that two and
two make four. Tho world has known
It all nlong nnd to vociferate It In the
market plnce does not make It either
now or Interesting.
Noah Webster, who was somewhet of
n ruformer In his dny, would be gratl
lied, no doubt, were bo living, by tbo
compliment of conlldence paid to ti tin
by tho House committee on appropria
tions, which has Inserted a paragraph
In tho appropriation bill providing that
tho government printing ollleo "shall
follow tho rules of orthography estab
lished by Webster or thu other general
ly accepted dictionaries of the Kngllsh
language." This bill, when patties by
tho House nnd approved by tho I'resl-
ilunt, will put nu end to the feel'ng of
public unrest which has prevailed since
tho dlfferenco of opinion expressed by
Mr, Roosevelt nnd Congress In the mat
ter of the JHX) words. Naturally It Is
not believed that tho slight clash that
has gently dlsturlied the delightful re
lations between tbo President mid Con
gress In this diversity of view will ex
tend to more serious matters. It Is
not feared thnt tho painful disagree
ment which marred tho administration
of President Andrew Johnson will be
repented or that tho country will bo
convulsed by another governmental
wrangle. Tho ncorn of dissent which
has been born of Ko-en!lod reform rtpoll
lug will not be permitted to ilevolop
Into a sturdy oak of distrust nun wrath.
Mr. Roosevelt has done what ho could
to mend or to mar spelling, mid ho
still lias It In his power by lucrcafcd
private corrcsMiidcnco to emphasize
his convictions nnd repeat his conclu
sions. It Is true that bis messages
will be printed In tbo Congressional
Record with the antiquated spe'llug,
hut there is solace In tho thnugnt that,
with tbo possible exception of tho
proofreaders, nohixly will gloat over
bis dliconitltiiro In the perusal of that
medium of communication. It Is p'eas
nut to contemplato tho settlement of
this minor controversy accomplished
In a manner so tactful, graceful mid
considerate, for, of course, In this In
stanco Mr. Roosevelt will courteously
yield to the wishes of Congress, Just
ns ho will exjHH't Congress will In re
turn defer to him In other matter of
public policy.
Would Not Sail Ilia Anreatera.
A plutocratic American of tho last
century who umt seen the green acres
nml stately castle of an Irish ttnte
soiiKht out Its luiHcunlous owner
with an offer to buy, Lonl Wank,
csKor enough to transmute his profit
less lands Into pregnant goUl, named a
considerable, but reasonable, price as
ono ho would be willing to tnke. "Very
well," said the American, "I'll glre
that If the pictures go with the house."
After a Utile reflection bis lordship
answered, "Yes, you can have the pict
ures, except, of course, the family or
trnlts." "It's the portraits I want,"
said the other. "I wouldn't give a
cent for the rest of 'em." "My prop
erty l not for sale under those con
ditions," satd his lordship, turning on
his heel and walking away, to tho as
tonishment of the parrenu, who flung
a "Stuck up beggar I" after the re
treating figure.
I Lore You.
A Danish paper compares "I lore
you" In many Inngunges. Hero nro
some of them the Danish paper Is our
only authority for their correctness.
Tho Chlnnnutn says, "Uo ugat nl;" tho
Armenian, "Go slrem ex hex ;" tho Ara
bian, Tery shortly, "Nehabeeck;" tho
Kgyptlan, similarly, "N'achkeb;" the
Turk, "Slsl sevejorum," and the Hin
doo, "Mnln tym ko pljar karyn." Hut
overwhelming Is the declaration of love
of an Eskimo, who tries to win tho cho
sen one by the pleasing sound qt the
dainty little word: "Unlvlflgssaerutd
lulnalerfimnjungnarslgujak." Wo wonder that It nercr occur t to
a drunkard thnt he could attract a lot
of favornblo attention by rcninlnlug
sober, Kvory umn In town would con
gratulnte him, and apeak well of tilm,
and help bUu In rry way posalbl&
