It Is extremely doubtful whether
Count Itonl would prove a access as a
head waiter If the Job calls for any
head work.
The London writers have started a
movement to put a stop to the practice
of tipping. Tlie fear of dying rich must
bo spreading rapidly.
Spain Is building n new nary. Ah
Kpiiln has 110 mure colonies on her
hnuds the chances are that thu new
navy will prove a durable one.
Mr. Kckels has hit tho mill fairly on
tho head. What we all need Is a "re
sponslve currency," one that will come
when wo whistle or call It by name.
A (.'ounce! lent Judge has decided tlmt
n turtle Is not an animal. Tin Treas
ury Department would probably rule,
for purpoM'H of duty, that It Is canned
HIlllllOII.
The scramble among Oklahoma towns
to become county scuts promises to
equal the mad rush for claims when
the territory was thrown open to set
tlement. A woman's magazine asks: "What
Implement can eipuil n hairpin In the
deft hands of womauV" Well, In somo
capes a Inilplu In tho deft IihihU of
another woman.
'There are some things," notes the
Richmond Times-Democrat, "tlmt you

Insla mi', you can't nsk him to bo proud

An Kugllsh astronomer, nfter yenrs
of careful work, ventures the opinion
that there are M,lSI,7fi7 stars. Homo
people are suru they saw more than

ukates.
Andrew Carnegie wishes to have It
understood that Kklbo, thu mime of

Hkcchoo. If Andrew doesn't watch out
now Irreverent peoplo may get to call

At Dresden, (iermnuy, a public bath
ing house for dogs has been opened.
If Dresden Is one of the places where
dogs are utilized In the sausage busi
ness, it Is no more than right that
they should be kept as clean as possi
ble. The number of women who kill men
unfortunate enough to have Incurred
their displeasure and then Invoke tho
unwritten law Is getting uncomfort
ably large, l'erluips there may yet be
necessity for going to the extreme of
t-eelng If the other kind of law doesn't
lit.
In view of the trouble In Kurnjm the
people of this country may well con
grnttihito themselves that the fathers
bet tied the relations of church and stuto
at the very beginning of our existence
us a nation, ami settled It for till time,
for no one wishes to Interfere with the
conclusion reached.
Happily the horse has a faculty for
upsetting the gloomy predictions that
he Is fated to be put out of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing In spite
of the fact tlmt the automobile Indus
try has been engaged In a similar un
dertaking. The demand for horses Is
still great. The supply of some classes
of them Is lumletpmte. The prices are
high. The automobile may scare the
horse Into the ditch, but It Isn't likely
to crowd him to the wall. There will
always be n Held for the horse, as
there will always bo a Held for the au
tomobile. Report- from places which used vot
ing machines In the recent State elec
tions show the superiority of the ma
chine over the Icad-pciuil-iuuMmllot
method. In no place where the ma
chines were used were returns later
than one-half hour after the closing of
the polls, In most places where the
old-fashioned way of voting prevailed
there was holdom a complete mid accu
rate return within twenty-four hours.
Machines are now In use In more imm
tUM) cities, towns and villages In the
I'nlted States. Iluffalo, Syracuse, San
rrauclscit, ludlaunpolls, Milwaukee,
Cleveland and Omaha are among the
larger cities where the; have been
adopted.
It U not HUlllcleutly recognized tlmt
agriculture Is a scientific pursuit and
tlmt In order to get the very best re
turns out of It a man could to ad
vantage utilize a special scientific edu
cation as truly as does the doctor or
lawyer or the engineer. It Is not mere
ly liecauso of the Increased material
return that such education for tho
fanner Is of value. The Intellectual
and moral dividends would by means
of such tralnliin' bo equally Increased.
It Is a great loss lu human Hwcr and
happiness that thousands of men en
gaged In one of the most scientific of
pursuits should go about It without get-
ttnrr tho Rnmo moral nnd Intollcdunl

Hcrculnncum, the rich and splendid
city that was burled, along with Tom
pell and Stnbhe, by tho eruption of
Vesuvius In A. D. 71), Is to be dug from
the mass of tufa which covered It, and
Its buildings are to be disclosed to
vow. Professor Wnldsteln of Cam
bridge Cnlverslty hits Induced the Ital
ian government to consent to the work,
on condition that It be olllclally direct
ed by Italians, ami that the assistance
of foreigners, llnanclally anil otherwise,
shall be uuolllelal. Should the enter
prise be carried out, we shall soon have
much light thrown on the manner of
life of the Itonmim of tho first cen
tury, llerculaneum, far more than
I'otnpell, was the residence of wealthy
and cultivated citizens. Their houses
were filled with artistic objects and
their libraries contained the best liter
ature of the period. In a partial exca
vation nearly two thousand manuscript
rolls were found In one house. Pom
pell was covered with small stones and
Roft ashes from the volcano. llercu
laneum was burled beneath n torrent of
mud to the depth of from thirty to a
hundred ami twenty feet. On top of It
two large modern villages have been j
built, (ieueral excavation has not been
undertaken, lest the stability of the vil
lages should be threatened. Plans now
making provide for tearing down these
villages, so far as necessary, to get at
the city beneath. In the comparatively
near future we may expect to hear re
ports of the uncovering of Hue bronze
ami marble statuary, of beautiful man
sions, of libraries filled with ancient
books, some of them for conturlcH
known by tradition only. In short, It
will be us If we were taken back more
than eighteen hundred years, and were
able to look upon thu city as Its Inhab
itants suddenly left It when Vesuvius
poured forth the Hood of mud, molten
rock and scalding wnter upon the towns
of Us seaward slope.
Tho proHoiit period In dlHtlngulHlted
for two things proHperlty and discon
tent. Desnltn niiinv ihirliii Ineiiuall-
tier) or lm-tptltles In the distribution of
Uh reKiillH, great pronperlty him pre
vailed In thu United StntOH for eight
or nine yearn, and there are no visible
nlgnn of Uh Interruption. Vet It l.s n
matter of common remark that only In
a few trying times of great Industrial
depression, when millions of working
people wero deprived of opportunities
to earn a living, has there been no much
discontent as Is Keen and heard nnd
felt In theso times of ninnzlng prosper
ity. Never before were attacks on tho
Krent trusts made with such determina
tion and effect. Never before wero tho
people no united ami so zealous In war
fare upon political graft In nil necllhiiH.
The discontent of the period Is not
mere grumbling. It Is enlightened do
Hlro for better conditions. Such dis
content In the parent of all progress.
If the American people were more con
tent with a full stomach they would
be less energetic nnd progressive. To
nil Individual, a tribe, or a people who
nro contented, who have nil they do
Hire, progress Is Impossible. Hut for
those whose Ideals are higher than any
present attainment, the longing Mr let
ter things, who have shown up hero
and there In nil the ages and who havo
become more numerous mid more In
sistent uh one after another their alms
ami longings havo been gratllled, the
progress of the human family would
never have ndvnneed beyond naked bar
barism. We are a discontented people
there's no denying It, and no reason
for trying to deny It. Recnuso we are
discontented we hustle and "get there."
Tho discontent I "t nt nil duo to the
prosperity, but the prosperity Is very
largely due to the discontent. Wo havo
not reached -wrfeetlon yet, and the fact
that we know It and kick about It Is
the best osslblo assurance that affairs
will .steadily grow letter.
HUtorlo Shin Ho no .Sold.
The historic Ship house and a part
of tho Johnson homestead on German
town avenue north of Washington lane
have been sold to James J. Allen, a
builder. Workmen will start to rar.u
tho once famous hostelry, which has
stood for more than a century. Mr.
Allen will preserve the old stone carv
ing of a ship which was built In the
gable cud of the house nnd gave the
place Its name. This will h presented
to one of the historical societies.
These properties bear marks of bul
lets fired during the revolutionary wnr,
the battle of (ierimuitown having leen
fought there. The Johnson homestead
has Ihh'U In the family possession since
the time of William Penu, from whom
they hold the original grant. The Ship
iutnH. has seen many changes of own
ership. One of the earliest owners was
Captain Darlen, an old sklpier, who
placed the carving of tho ship lu posl
tlon. When Captain Darlen died tho
heirs sold the place to Jacob Peters,
who conducted a lino of stage coaches
and made this a stopping place. When
Peters died the place was sold to Jus,
Ford, who opened a private school
there. Mo died and the heirs content
plated selling It for use ns an Insane
asylum. The Uocklus family owned
the adjoining property nnd objected, so
were compelled to buy tho place. It
was again turned Into a hotel nnd n
mnlueil bo until tho elder Uocklus wns
killed by a horse about sixty years ago.
Mr. Allen will build sixty-eight
houses on tho Bite. Philadelphia Led
