Steel coadltions look much belter, ac-
cording to Charles M. Schwab. .In dis-
cussing the situation, ha said The
outlook is more encouraging than It
haa been at any time since the de-
pression started. I look for gradual
Improvement, but no sensational up
turn for the better. The reports I get
from the Bethlehem Steel corporation
are very encouraging and show satis
factory Improvement over the last
ten day* or two weeks. 1 do not an-
ticipate any changes In steel prices In
the near future. There la no truth
whatever In the report that my trip
abroad was identified In any way with
the formation of an International steel
trust; my business was solely In con-
nection with the Bethlehem Steal cor-
poration."

Republican Aristocracy.
If we look at the Harvard catalo-
gues down to the year 1772, or (hose
of Yale do»n to 1787, we reach the
date* at which the alphabetical m< th '
od mas first adopted for what had
come to uroi an Important object.
The name* of the students In each
clasa had been previously arranged,
as in English colleges. Id accordance
with the a-sumed social rank of thelr
parents. Sometimes the analogy
with the English practice had been
carried mi far that those representing
certain families were permitted to
lake their meals at the higher tables
allotted to the President and Fellows
of the Institution end after this pro-
motion bote the name of Fellow Com-
moner*.
This sort of social distinction
showed Itself et that early period In
other ways. Look at any of the col-
lege class lists of that period and you
find, for Instance, that the name of
Wlnthrop, where It occura, U quite
sure to be at the top of the list
while other class lists, at either Har-
vard or Yale, are likely to b« headed
by auch names as Mather, Dudley,
Baltouatall, Dowsing, Quincy, or
Thacher. These namaa express sim-
ply social pracadeaca. The names of
minister's sans ware apt te follow
them In the Hat, but frem time ta time
wa flag that there waa a lowering or
raising of the poattlea of theee on ac-
count af some apeefal dead ef gaad
or evil on the part af the father or
the aw. Familiar effmcaa may have
caused the penalty, aa that af ateal-
lag fowls er being disrespectful to
tutors. In ana Instance n drop from
a place within the first half af tha
class ta tha vary toot waa brought
about by a student's stealing com-
bustibles and making a bonfire. In
one of tha earliest records of tha acts
and Judgments of the Yalo faculty,
dating back to December, 1781. there
la an entry to this effect:
"Whereas Holmes, a student of this
College, on 10th of Novr. last, being
the Sabbath or Lord's Day, travelled
unnecessarily, and that with a Bur-
don or Pack behind him, frem be-
yond Wallingford to this place which
la contrary to the Divine and Civil
Law aa well aa to the Law* of this
Collage. It ta therefore consider
ed by the President, with the Advice
of tha Tutors, that tha aald Holmes
•hall ha fined 20d. atari.

Here ere the forces that help te
Jar men and boys loose, forces that
have doubled' In the last twenty years
end ere still Increasing: New labor-
saving machines to make us« of child
labor, new machines te speed up the
American pace. In the last ten years
the railroads, the mines, the factorise
mills end docks have maimed ever a
million men. And the public Is paying
the pensions. For thousands of crip
ptee, thrown out of their regular work,
take to the reed; and, with no mlra-
cle te turn them beck, become out-
and-out tramps and bums, doing no
work at ell, begging and stealing their
way. Rush and alaek seasons, demand-
ing mere i I more armies of surplus
labor; the swift growth of Indus-
try, bringing to America millions of
Immigrants, over half of them young
men who come alone; and most of all,
the railroads, demanding Increasing
throngs of nomadic camp workers;
the railroads, "the real hot circus,”
tempting boys to the road and giving
to all kinds of ho!)oea easy and free
means of travel. lastly, the huge tene-
ment hives, where year by year life
grows more nervous and tense and
restless.
And deep under all these conditions,
responding to the chances they offer,
the old human love of the road that
ties deep down In the souls of men—

.. Let Us Live in the Present
Too maay people live In the (la
ma! past, lingering long by old tombs
of regret and remorse Not a few vt
us live In the future hoping for the
be«t. and yet fearing the worst. Why
cant we live in the present? Hanny
la the achievement of today—yeate«-.
day la past and tomorrow we may
never see—today alune is ours. And
what matter the gre.it hereafter? We
are convinced that the soul survives
and that love and hope and happiness
are the stares which God has set In
silken skies to guide us osward and
upward. Yet the enjoyment of today *
blessings and today's comforts will
nowl.se prevent ua from our share in
the greater blessings of eternity
There Is enough of love and life and
Joy in the present moment for every
human soul. Disaster and failure may
come to us tomorrow, and grievous
Borrows are sodded mounds o'er which
Time haa said the service of kindly
compassion. We need not mind the
trouble past or iintlctpate that which
la yet to come. The evolution may h#
right. We may have lived here oace
before and In a thousand years we
may pees this way again—hut that
does not concern na now, even If It
were true. If you have a hind net te
do, do it today. If you have a duty te
perform, perform It today. If you have
opportunity for enjoyment, graop It
now. Crowd today with every hope and
Joy. Leave the dead leaves ef the pnet
and gather the fragrant (lowers of the
preeent; seek net te open the hitter
bud of the future. Yee can't retrieve
plant a firm foot on that grave of er-
ror aad let regret give place to re-
ceive. The Nasareae never gave bet-
ter advice than when he ad Matched
hie followers te “take no thought ef
the morrow." Sufficient unto the day
la the evil thereof, and the right use
of the present ie the only way where-
by you can be well prepared to meet
the future. Out of the solitude of the
past and shadowy hopes of the mor-
row glows the rosy morning of today,
and, though we can not reclaim a mo-
ment that's gone, opportunity haa
never bounded a moment that'e to
come; so that with firm, unshaken
faith, those who rightly employ the
present have the best assurance
the future. Let ue live today. Yaxeo

An Honest Doctor AWviead Po-mw-n*.
Mr. Sylvester E Smith, room 818,
Granite Block, gt. Louis. Mo., writes:
"Peruna l* the best friend a sick man
can have.
"A few moaths ago I came
here la a Wr tchod conditon. Expos-
ure and dampne>a had ruined my one#
robust health. 1 had catarrhal affec-
tion* of th« bronchial tubes and for
a time there was a doubt as to my rw
covery.
"My good honest old doctor advised
me to take Peruna, which I did and
in a short Ume my health began to
improve very rapidly, the bronchial
trouble gradually dtsapppe&red, and
in three months my health waa fully
restored.
“Accept a grateful man’s thanks for
his restoration to perfect health."

Christian trinten.
Christian Brlatoa, the aoted editor
and critic, said of tho critical faculty
one night at the University club ta
Philadelphia:
"The critical faculty la rara. It
muet be Impersonal. But moat ua
India# to bo wholly personal la our
criticism. Tha fact waa brought boms
to me at on# of tbo recent exhibitions
at tbo Academy of Fine Arts.
"Passing from picture to plcturo, I
overheard maay criticisms. Thus a
lady In a rich gown aald:
" ‘What a superb portrait of a young
girl! It should certainly win tho Car-
negie priae. It la easy to see that
the gown waa made by Paquln.'
"A fat, red-nosed man In a fur-lined
•vercoat halted before a picture enti-
tled 'The Luncheon.'
'"This atlll life,* he exclaimed. ’Is
the most almlrable I have over seen.
Terrapin, canvasback, champagne,
lobster, even Perlgord pie—ah. what
a genius.’
"‘In this historical palatine,’ I
heard aa antiquary any. the costumes
are accurate In ovary detail Tho
painter Is a second Raphael.’
“ ‘That boras there,' said a young
polo player, ‘la exactly Ilk# ay Pods-
•okus. It’a tho boat plcturo In tho
exhibition.’
“An athlete ottered a cry of ddllght
before a daub called ‘Tha Gladiator.'
** ‘What ehouldera! What armel’ ha
said. T bet anything tha Jury gives
this painting the highest award.’
“And half tho throng departing,
said:
"'.Tho plcturo la the last room to
tho host. No, wo didn't see It—
couldn't get to it In fact—hut It draws
far and away the hlggeat crowd.'"

that tke tiay apertures through which tke
fas laws become gunned aad partially
Iliad ia; when such to tbs ease, rua a hat
pis through tke holes, or a round tooth-
pick aad it will readily free them.
It to important also to give particular
•ttratioa to tke gas range if tke beet
mulls are to be obtained, aad this to
especially true where it ia ia constant
sorviee for cooking. Things inclined to
boil ever quickly, like milk or coffee,
should be watched to prevent it happen-
ing, aa they cleg the bursars aad eor-
rode the iron and sine linings, causing
them to rust and get u stained, unsight-

week, according to the use of the range,
tke burner! should be lifted out, turned
upside down, and lightly tapped to
knock out say dust or soot that might
have lodged in tha circular aperture
that supplies the flame. A hat pin is
good for picking out any particles that
reaint tapping. When not using, keep
the lids on the stove.
Keep cleau by rubbing with a dry
cloth, particularly the oven floor and
racks. When anj-thing flows over and
hums, or grease pops around from bak-
ing meat*, it should be thoroughly
scoured with soap and warm water, then
wiped with a drj- rag. Keeping all gas
s;o\is polished prevents them from
rusting.

conduct by a lecture en morality. They
listened with due subm;ssion and hu-

eaid: “My young friends, the floors
of hell are paved with clmmpagno, auto-
mobiles and chorus girls." lie was hor-
rified to hear one of the students any in
