Lowell raid ot Emerson that he "hns that privi lege ot soul which nbollsbes the calen dar and presents him to us always the unwasted contemporary ot his o?n prime." Whitman foresaw for Amer ica a race "ot splendid and savage old men." We are accustomed to hear "the hurry of business life" decrbd and American Ideals ot life uufavor ably contrasted with European.

Thus goes the old familiar song "How dear to my heart are the sceues of my childhood." On second thought, however, one may Interpose an excep tion or two. Let the memory go back to the "parlor." In the recollections of childhood It does not figure as oue ot the popular home Institutions. When the Texas Legislature appro priated $10,000 for a monument to Oeneral Sam Houston, to be erected aver his grave at Huntsvttle. It stipu lated that the monument should be ot Texas granite and that the appropria tion should become void Sept. 1, 1909. Oddly enough, writes it. U.

When Peary and his party reached the Pole the Eskimos cried out: "Ting uelgb, Umah ketlsher." Thts must have been disappointing to those who expected them to yell, "Excelsior." Eskimo wives and mothers, It Is said, never suffer from the ailments that afflict the matrons of a higher civ ilization.

A test case Is to be made In the New York courts as to what criminal statute Is violated by the offense technically known as "talking back" to the police, and whether arrest and punishment in the matter are Justified by the law. The question of Illegal arrest is really a serious one, ss the whole matter ot personal liberty, upon which the principles of this govern ment are founded. Is Involved. The word "lobbyist" has generally been used, with good reason, as a term of reproach, yet it is well to remember that one may have commendable rea sons for approaching legislators and trying to Influence their deeds. In Washington, during the last session oi Congress, a woman was spoken of as "one of the most aggressive lobby ists ever seen at the Capital" She was acting, however, merely as the representative of California club women, and her mission, happily suc cessful, was to help insure the preser vation of the giant redwoods, which are one of the glories of the state. Meat has been officially Introduced as a part of the Japanese army diet, and, as a result, the Japanese board of agriculture has sent a commission abroad to Investigate and take steps for introducing the breeding of rattle in Japan. One reason for the change of diet la to avert a repetition of the scourge of berl-beri which sapped the strength of the army during the Rus sian war, and was said to have been due to the rice diet, and another pur pose Is to add to the stature of the race by a general Introduction of meat eatlag.

Tho recent discovery near Yeovil of an ancient British gold torque and the consequent Inquiry by the coroner and his Jury ns to tho manner and nature of the find are of some Interest to land owners as well as to antiquarians, says Country Life. Treasure Irovo, accord ing to an old definition, Is nny gold or sliver In coin, plate or bullion found concealed In a house or In the earth or other place, the owner thereof being unknown. The essence of tho thing is concealment: tho article may havo been deliberately hidden or burled by the owner; If It has only been aban doned, thrown away or lost, It Is not treasure trove, and belongs to tho finder as against every ono but the true owner when he turns up and claims It. If the article Is treasuro trove, on. the other hand, It belongs either to the crown or to the person, generally to the lord of the manor, to whom the franchUo of treasugrj trove may hove been granted by tho crown. It Is the duty of any person who finds an article that may come under tho designation of treasure trove to In form the coroner of the district, who thereupon calls togother u Jury to In quire what the find consists of, who was the finder nnd who was the orig inal owner, so far as any Information on the last point Is available. Such, inquiry has, however, no Jurisdiction to determine any question of title to the find, nor to decide whether thn ar tlcls Is treasure trove or not; thoso points must be settle!, If there Is any dispute, by the decision of the kip ' bench division; but where gold or .l ver articles whose owner Is unknown are found concealed or burled In ono place, all lying together, there Is a presumption that they were Intention ally hidden for tho benefit of tho de positor and that they aro therefore treasure trove, PRESMNf MOT AMNDS PMCIYY i STRI15 ssCs The Canadian government, by legislation, has obviated to a prent extent strikes Hint would Intrrfrr with puhHi utilities, Including mines, Is described In MrChite's Mhrh sine by Charles W ICllnt. president emeritus of Harvard I'nlverslty.

In only two rases were strikes not averted or ended The six cases In which hoards were not crested were settled promptly thrutgti tho Iniluenre of the act. Home of tho disputes Involved large numbers of workmen notably two cusps of the Dominion Coal Company, with 3.000 men affected In u-m case and 7,000 men In nnother; and several rnllru.ul rases In same of which 7,000 to 8.00Q men were directly affected. That Canadian worklugmen have acquired confidence In the operation of the act Dr. Kllot concludes from the fact that the) have been the applicants for the creation of hoards In forty six cases. Not the least hcncflcln! result of the act. Or Eliot considers, Is that "although perfect liberty to strike or lock out ultimately Is rcserred under the Canadian art, errl weeks must elapse from the time the dispute be gan before work can be stopped." Thus, "them Is lime for tuisstoii to cool, and for the costs of war to be rountrd by both parlies. The Interests of the publlo mny also get some sort of effective expression during this Inter val; and when the report of the board Is thoroughly published, lit aeeonl anre with the provisions of .the act, public opinion, bejng welt Informed, usually expresses Itself with clearness and force."
