Morals I
I should like to abolish morals
which have come to be something en- '
tlrely negative: "Do not steal” etc '
A man who would be moral after that
faahlon would bo the most colorless j
the saddest the least beautiful of be-'
ings The most moral man would bo
cold and lifeless The moral man 1
tbe nobis man who putting aside
trifling and vulgar rules exhales beau
tlful thoughts through all hla pores
The most Important thing Is that he
elevates his thoughts and rises shove
the pale horizon which bounds the
vulgar life' that he Is noble and beau
tlful In mind Tbe Immoral Is ha who
sees only the end who thought faith
ful perhaps In the performance of hla
lesser duties has neither Inspiration
nor love — Ernest Renan

Cleamesa of Dutcltone
The duldtone of Thomas Machell
of Glasgow has tbe keyboard ot n
piano but the key-bammers produce
sound by striking steel forks like
shankless tuning forks — Instead of
wires A semi-circular steel spring
carries tbe vibrations from each fork
to the eoundlng-board The tone in
softer than that of the piano but
It bas great clearness and carrying
power and Is adapted for solo playlfig
as well as tor accompanying other
Instruments or the voice Important
advantages are the lack of necessity
of tuning and the portability A dulcl-
tone of five octaves weighs but 48
pounds but a piano of the same range
haa a weight of 250 pounds or more

rltory of Teple and orders have oeen
given by the prefecture of police that
after January 81 all sombreros must '
not be larger than a certain pro-
scribed size This disposition of -the
authorities Is due to the fact that the

almost three feet In width and when
three or four rancheros sit down In a
restaurant there is scarcely room for
anyone else The edict therefore hie '
gone forth that the wide sombrero !
