Feom tho beginning the phllosophor
lias started out by trying to know un-
knowable things and wound up by
losing even that modicum of s < nso
with which tho common In rL as ho
contemptuously term it is endowed
Vakioits bands of philanthropists
societies and the Ilk make n specialty
of scouring tho slums of London ind
other large citios fo pauper children
to send to America No ono questions
the worthiness of their motives but
it i clear that the practice must stop
under tho now amendments to the im-
migration law All paupers are by
the new law oxpressly forbidden to land
on American soil whether they coma
individually or in batches as assist-
ed emigrants Ago cuts no figure
Faupcr children nro as liablo to bo
como charges on tho community as
paupor adults
It is one of tho hardest and at the
samo limo ono of the most essential of
duties to discover and observo limits
It Is comparatively easy to bo enthusi-
astic tn ono line for ono man to bo
frugal to the point of meanness and
another to be liberal to th6 extent of
prodigality But to bo wiso enough
to see where the two meet and bal-
ance oach other tCvdlscover where
each vittuectrmed to excess becomes
n siceTiind to be selfcontrollod
enough to prevent so dire a catastro
phe this is no task It takes thought
wisdom selfdenial and resolution of
a far aigher kind than is needful for
tho most elaborate or rigid systom of
small economies
To ozvn Alfred Tennyson his title
of lord seems to Americans liko paint-
ing tho lily and employing u very vul-
gar and garish color for tho decora-
tion To Beaants complaint that neith-
er Darwin Huxley Faraday Dickens
Thackeray nor Browning over re-
ceived honor or title from the queen
tho American raspoisj will be What
of it Wealthy brewers nro made
peers The London burgomaster who
gave a gluttonous feast to certain roy
nl guests may now boast himself a
lord The balletmaster and organizer
of spectacles has been dubbed a knight
Why should a Darwin o a Thackeray
repine that ho is not invited to join so
worshipful a company
Enclasp to a degree which Ameri-
cans can scarcely imagine is annoyed
vexed nnd cursed by the fundamental
injustice and unnaturalness of its en-
tailed statochurebism The popular
irritation caused by it is constant and
is evidently increasing There is no
one form of religion that is common
to the people Why should the state
pour out its millions every yoar into
tho lap of one of the sects and only
turn tho cold shoulder to all other re-
ligious organizations Why should
John Bull extend all his favors to the
tcijaL rwtattMffltr nhnwi ami
giro cone to any of tho rest The
fact that this still continues to bo
dono grows only more and more fla-
grant more and more exasperating
As A rule students in tho academical
dejiartment of American institutions
ore considerably younger than thosj in
the professional schools and thero is
a theory that they cannot safoly bo
exposed to tho temptations of a large
city The theory is not borne ont by
the cxperiencs or Edinburgh and Glas
gow Nor do wa ourselves consider u
young man much more ironclad against
such dangers at the age of 22 than at
the age of IS But it may be that a
small town is more likely to generate
an academical atmosphere to invite
to studious musing and to evolve the
still air of delightful studies of which
tho poets sing Nor are wo dipo3ed
to deny that tho study of divinity as
well as of the lilernc humaniores and
the higher mathematics may ho car-
ried on more sympathetically and ef
fectively in a country or suburban
town than amid tho distractions and
tumult ot a great capital
We ahe the greatest travelers in
the world and the nooks and corners
of England and of the continent aro
full of these people who go abroad for
tho rest the amusement the instruc
tion Uiey receive jnst as we run about
within the country from city to city
When these citizens of ours are culti-
vated people as is generally the case
they pass unnoticed in the throng
Only occasionally by the displayof
some unmistakable national peculiari-
ty are they recognized as Americans
and such recognition is only another
personal illustration of our good
breeding and Intelligence as a poople
Since however this class of travelers
are tho most unobtrusivo of people
nnd are enjoying themselves in a quiet
way they aro very seldom credited to
America which hag obtained abroad
such a common reputation for rtfae
ncs3 and loudness and oddness of ono
sort or another that a wellbohavod
person is acquitted by that fact of
kinship with us
The bicyclist i3 a wandering advo
cato of better city pavements and bet-
ter country roads Already he has
made his influence felt for good in
many communities As tho number
of bicycles multiplies throughout the
country and the man in tho knee
breeches becomes aware of his in-
fluence the wheel will be ro ognlzep
as a powerful engine of reform For
many yeara the people of this nation
have contented themselves with
wretched highways the farmers be
cause they feared heavy taxation for
improvements and the other classes
of citizens because they sympathized
with tho farmer It is beginning to
be understood liowevor that tho
farmers fears are not well founded in
fact that they sustain enormous losses

Let one side for exarale be of dove
colored woolen materiaL the other ot a
brown fwezeIike texture The gar
ment can now be worn with either
side out just as one desires If thrown
open w hen one is traveling it is just as
pretty on the inside as on the outside
The comfort of having a garment that
is sure to look pretty whether it is
rolled up as a pillow for one s head er
is thrown back over the car scat or is
u cH as a lap robe can only be appreci-
ated by a woman who possesses such a
wrap end who has travel d a couple
11 months in its companionship A
hood is a very pretty acei apamment
to the mantelet and it is likewise a-
very useful one In cases of emergency
it can be drawn over the hat to protect
the Litter from a sudden shower It
can also be worn on board a ship
should the breezes be so strong as to
prohibit the wearing of a broad
brimmed headgear It is good when
the cold winds blow to protect ones
neck from neuralgia and when off
duty it loo s very prettv hanging in
the bak of the garment to which it
belongs lly all means ha e a hood to
your mantelet an1 make it up in as
pretty a shape as you ean
