Some are good because they haven't energy enough, to be bad. And some are good because it pays. There is no higher virtue than the virtue of being virtuous for virtue's sake. Perhaps this is -why the quality is so rare. Too many people guide their conduct by mercenary rules. They measure the effect of their morality just as they measure the probabilities of their financial investments. A pious ex pression is cultivated for the public confidence it creates. A sweet unctu ousness is acquired for the influence it wields. A charita ble consideration is employed for the reputation it brings. A churchly sanctity is worn for the soothing ef fect it has upon the conscience. True, it is not the politest thing to question one's motives, but in this world most motives are questionable. Would that they were not! "What is needed is a moro generous cultiva tion of goodness for tho abstract com fort it gives. There is no happiness that equals tho feelings that follows it. "The man who consecrates honrs 15v vigorous effort, and an honest aim. At once he draws the sting of life and death, He walks with nature, and her paths aro peace." Paper Flonr Bass Kesnlt of Civil War, The flour millers of tho northwest have recently been in session at Buf falo, H. x. Senator Arkell read a paper on Bans and iiagging. Ilia con nection with the subject treated be gan about thirty years ago, when tho cottcn bag was thedomestic muslinof to-day, nipped on the selvage with a pair of scissors, then torn and sewed by hand. The sewing machine was a great help soon afterward. During the war the cost of a small cotton bag holding 4'J lbs Hour was increased in price from Cc to 30c, nud even more, while barrels were worth 81.25 apiece. This state of things led Mr. Arkell to investigate and experiment on the production of some form of container that could be made in abundance and cheaply. He was aided in this enter prise by Uharlea uentiiuysen or Al bany, a scientist, who gave him the idea of utilizing old rope, luis ma terial and Kentucky Hemp were after ward successfully 'introduced in the manufacture of paper baps of great strength and cheapness. Nearly 100, 000,000 of these bags are now used an nually in the United States, and about as many more cotton sacks. Senator Arkell believes the baper bag is to be the bag of the future, beoause it combines strength, is non-sifting and cheap. Most of the objections to this bag have been overcome and they can be made at the rate of 100 per minute. Jiuiietin. in A Dressmaker's Tnck. A smart dressmaker not only learns to round a bust, but she can so deftly pad the sleeves that when the wrist is seen it seems only the slender ter mination of a plump arm. The gown of a thin girl in New York, one who has the reputation of being a singu larly good figure, sumrests a auilt. heavily wadded, more than anything else. Back, hips, sleeves and bnst are all tho result of clever workman ship. And it is so clover that tailor- made gowns are defiantly worn bv this girl, and the most critical club men find no flaw in the outlines of her figure. Philadelphia Times. Private Kooms.

Caste Distinction the Rock That Threatens American Institutions. Col. L. F. Copeland lectured last evening to a large "and intelligent audience on the subject of "Snobs and Snobbery." TJnd.er this subject he dealt particularly with caste, nnd caste distinctions, and strongly in veighed against tho introduction of any form of -this vice into America, a vice which would cause a wealthy aud otherwiso indulgent parent to cast a daughter into poverty and deg- rauation simply because she would marry the man of her choice. He dealt first with the conmlete stratification of English society. The suop Keepers, me country aristocracy, the titled nobility, all formed castes which did not mix with one another, socially, and above these was the crowned blue blood. The lecturer then went on to say, with a most in describable facial expression and in tonation of voice that In the free republic of America we have no castes," and centinued: "When we say it, we lie like blazes." Our constitution declares it to be self evident that all men are freo and equal, yet Americans have more caste feeling than any people under the snn. In England there was n class of shopkeepers, but all in this class were equal. Here in America we make a distinc tion between tho man who sells in the big shop and ho who sells in the smaller stores. In European cities thero wero fashionable localities, bnt tho locality did not make tho people fashionable. in American cities there was a caste of locality. People who lived on Fifth avenue. N. Y., were toney be cause they lived there, even If they had a cocoanut head and the brains of & mule. Americans made more of the caste of color than any olhor civ ilized nation. At a fashiounblo din ner in England where many men of title were present he had sat oppo site n darkey with kinky hair and face as black as tho bottom of a fry ing pan, When lie saw the darkey receiving moro attention than was accorded to himself, he could not help thinking that he was in a place more than -1,000 miles from whero the Declaration of Independence was Bignod. In shame, and to the ever lasting disgrace of America be it said, that whole wo proress not to believe in caste we practice it more than any other people. Nothing was so un American as caste, and yet it consti tuted a great and menacing danger to our institutions in the futnrc. Snobbery was tho outcome of pride; pride was the offspring of ego tism. The dandy dude or masher, was only one of the family of snobs. A pretentious man or woman of any degree, whether born in a castle or hovel, educated or uneducated, rich or poor, was a snob. He then spoke of the different kind of snobs, such as tho Blue Blooded Snob who based his claim to distinction on the ncheive ments of his ancestors. This class did not' believe in the Darwinian theory but were good illustrations of it. It was not so much to a young man what his father had done as what he could do; not so important whero he came from as where he was going to. We had no titled snobs here simply because the wise men who framed our con stitution had made it impossible. Otherwise there were people who would introduce the nuisance here.- He scathingly rebuked thoso mothers who bo wickedly cast their daughters in tho way of such de bauched reprobates as the prince of Wales, lord Lansdowne, lord Marl borough, etc., that they might waltz with them, and theso men had put their arms around the prettiest girls in America, although their mothers knew that their touch was polution. He was very severe on the Anglo maniac, tho dude and dudine, and those people who apod the manners and customs of the European no bility. Ho inveighed against the caste of religion, the snobbery of many fash ionable churches, and the canting snoo wuo always intruded his religion and paraded his hypocrisy before the world. The snob of superior culture and the illiterate bore came under his scathing criticism. He held Abra ham Lincoln up as an example of a lordly man, and in conclusion showed the hard working, law abiding Christ ian family to be the truly noble of the earth.
