The noted philologist, sneers the Pittsburg Gazette, who is trying to trace a connection between the words "millionaire and "millinery" strikes a responsive chord in every masculina mind. One of the transatlantic lines has fc now put trained nurses on its ships, Journal, no man of moderate means can afford even to be seasick while crossing the ocean. The Boston barber who" has decided to- enter vaudeville, notes the Louis vllle Courier Journal,-may not know ; monoloHst ari? with untly that hewcMSjw "w- e lacked that ad vantage over his audience. According to Sir Purdon Clarke, Eome of the paintings in the Metro politan Museum are of doubtful authenticity. However, pleads the New York American, fake antiques are just as good as the real thing, provided no one says anything about them. Of course (here is no sense in look ing for or hoping for honest govern ment in a community in which Justice is poisoned at its very springs. II we can not every day In the year, argues the Indianapolis News, have a grand jury that is above suspicion and petit juries that will be governed solely by the evidence we might as well give up the fight for political de cency. But private as well as public Interests are affected. : Mr. Forgan, the Chicago banker, told the house committee on currency and banking in Washington, D. C, that "undoubtedly the leading cause of the recent financial disturbances was our national 'extravagance, but the people have learned a lesson." Not all the people. In Chicago a few choice citizens undertook to go the rose feast of Heliogabalus qne better and promenaded with a New York actress ankle-deep in rose leaves. ' Nietzsche's view of Carlyie, as late- "ly-'Set'fOTtfr tts "air article "iithe "mad philosopher of Germany, is charac teristically queer; "Carlyie, a man of strong words and attitudes, a rhetorician by necessity, who was con stantly agritated by- the desire for a strong belief, and the feeling of In capacity for It. In that respect a typical Romanticist! The desire for. a strong belief is not -evidence of a Etrong belief, but rather the contrary. ... A constant, passionate insin cerity as 'regards himself that is his proprium; he is interesting, and will remain interesting thereby." The San Francisco Chronicle thinks that lack of discipline is the greatest evil of American life and character and it makes a pretty good ' case. From a mistaken or degenerate no tion which does not enforce obedience and discipline, it holds, springs our national lack that ends in lawlessness and the many eyils which we exempli fy to an alarming degree In some di rections. It continues: The curse of America is its lack of discipline. In the family, the school and tha college youngsters grow up to do as they please. There is a mawkish sen timent which is evidence of degen eracy and which prevents the old fashioned, wholesome enforcement of authority among children and youth. It is not good for society and not good for the individuals. "Tn every family and in every school It is de sirable to have some stringent regu lations. If for nb other reasod than having them complied with. The' best foundation, for character in the habit of submission to authority, and the time to acquire that habit is in childhood and youth. - " Even In our ordinary . experience bow Is a habit formed T Watch nar rowly the process, cautions the Chris tian Register. " A new thing Is done with a high degree of conscious effort; each step is deliberately thought out, and every movement is assiduously guided. Do this again and again; with re.oetitlon there is a decrease of con scious effort, but an increase of ease, grace, -facility. These forces below the .consciousness are taking over the guidance of the physical activities. And many thmgs, once they have" be come "habitual," are done -better the less we consciously think about them. The wise man dees opt leave to ran dom activity the training of t eia meas ureless capacity for .the development : THE FLEETING FIGURES. " There's luck in numbers," remark ed Brooke.
