POLITELY DISOBEDIENT.
Twenty years ago a famous Amcri
ran millionaire, speaklnK of IiIh un-
ruly ami pampered little son, said with
a smile: "Yes, Harry is a politely
disobedient boy." The other day
after a diSKraceiul career extending
over two continents, that boy was
placed behind the bars, a prisoner of
justice. Hla polite disobedience was
but the seed of future lawlessness.
Obedience is not only the soldiet s
tirst duty, as we have been told, but
the first and most important duty of
all of us; and the place to learn it is
in the home; and the time, when we
are children, says Robert Webatei
Jones in the Housekeeper. The dan-
ger of acquiring the vice of disobedi
.nee is not confined to the children
of the rich alone. It is a constant
menace in homes of all grades of
society. No greater harm can be
done to a child than to permit him to
be disobedient, either politely or im
politely. There are many troubles
laid up for him who has not learned
early in life to obey. Obedience to
parents, obedience to teachers, obedi-
ence to employers, obedience to the
law, are all allied. Failure in the first
means failure in all.
The question is often asked wheth-
er the children of the present genera-
tion are as obedient as were their
parents and grandparents. Certainly
there is not the outward reverence
that characterized the children of a
former generation, but wo need not
say that the feeling of respect and the
desire to obey are not there. The dan
ger, however, is right here: that the
omission of the outward appearanci
of reverence and obedience may lead,
in time, to the omission of those vir-
tues themselves. The parent who per-
mits a child to grow up without learn-
ing and learning thoroughly, this
great lesson of obedience, commits a
crime against society. There are pris-
ons waiting for the "politely disobedi-
ent boy."

The British Empire occupies about
one-fifth of the surface of the habi-
table globe and consists of the United
Kingdom, with its attendant islands,
and about forty-three dependencies
under separate and independent gov-
ernments, varying in size from Can-
ada. which is thirty times the size of
the United Kingdom, to Gibraltar, the
area of which is two square miles.
Thus the area of the Brit-
ish Empire is ninety-eight times that
of the United Kingdom, while the
area of the self-governing colonies
alone is nearly sixty times as large
as that of the mother country.—Lord
Thring in the Nineteenth Century.
THE DANGER IN KISSING.
A new danger has been discovered
in kissing. The discovery is made by
a scientist, of course. All these dead-
ly dangers in kissing are discovered j
by scientists.
The New York Medical Journal an-
nounces that to the danger from
germs "is superadded, in the case of
the neuropath, that of shock highly
injurious to the nervous system."
This, if true, is bad for the neuro-
path. But is it necessary that anybody
should kiss as a neuropath?
That a shock comes with kissing,
many people know. But would any of
them have it dispensed with if he
could ? No, indeed. A kiss without a
shock would be a dull affair.
That there are actual dangers in
kissing it has not remained for mod-
ern bacteriologists to discover, it we
might project the imagination back
to most primitive man we would per-
haps see there and then, as we do
here and now. a thousand things foi
kissers to be afraid of.
The old man's boot and the rival
voung buck have become traditional
among a multitude of other dangers.
The men of all ages have felt fear
of these dangers, far more material
and threatening than mere germs, and
braved them. So will they ever meet
and face them—Chicago Journal.
THE NEW WOMAN.
"A TERRIBLE BUSINESS."
"It is a terrible business." wrote
l.ord Elgin nearly fifty years ago,
"this living among inferior races. 1
have seldom, since I came to the East,
heard a sentence which was reconcil-
able with the hypothesis that Chris-
tianity had ever come into the world.
Detestation, contempt, ferocity, venge-
ance. whether Chinamen or Indians
be the object. There are some three
or four hundred servants in this
house. When one first passes by
their salaaming one feels a little
awkward. But the feeling soon wears
off, and one moves among them with
perfect Indifference, treating them,
not as dogs, because in that case one
would whistle to them and pat them,
but as machines with which one can
have tto community or sympathy.
Yet, it is a terrible business. And
now. for many generations, large and
ever-increasing numbers of our yel-
low countrymen have come back from
contact with "inferior races,'' bringing
with them contempt for the rights of
human beings whom they deem lower
than themselves in the scale of hu-
manity. And the poison lias spread
through all ranks of society.
"What shall it profit a man if he
shall gain the whole world, and lose
his own soul?" A nation, no less than
a man, may ask the question.—-Lon-
don New Age.
THE AGE OF HURRY.
There is no backwater to which this
impetuous tide of hurry has not pene-
trated; and if we try to find one
wherein we may lie In a punt on pink
cushions under a tree we are certain
to be made restless by the long single
hoot of a fussy steam launch or the
short double ono of a tearing motor
car. and instead of lying still we jump
up and cry, "Oh, wait for me and take
me! I'm in a fearful hurry to get
there and do it with you!" Ami when
we arc taken in and have recovered
our breath and are well on our way
there to do it. we remember to ask
where we are bound for and what we
are going to do!- "A Countess in the
London Outlook.

The project to publish a daily news-
paper on board all great Transatlantic
steamships while at sea is expected
to be in operation next May. New*
is to be furnished by the Marconi
wireless system. The Marconigram
says:
"The newspaper will be of standard
size, and will contain full telegraphic
reports from the Associated Press. Its
advertisements will be contracted for
ashore, and it is expected that a very
profitable business will thus be estab-
lished. The combined circulation of
this journal on board all steamships
will be large enough to warrant its
use by advertisers, whereas the issn
ance of different papers on board each
separate vessel renders none of them
a profitable medium, by reason of the
comparative small circulation of each.
The projector of this publication is
said to have contracted with the Mar-
coni company to receive as many
words per day as the company can
transmit with its present facilities at
a rate per word which will prove ex-
tremely profitable to the company.
The same matter will be printed in
each edition of the paper, whether
issued on board the Lueania, the Kai-
ser Wilhelm or the Minnehaha.
"The editorial rooms will be located
; ashore, either in America or Europe,
i and the news, editorials, and miscel-
I laneons matter lor each edition will
j be furnished fresh each day by wire-
! less, as well as the changes of ail
: vertisements There are at. times a
j population of 20,000 to 30,000 pe >ple
afloat in ocean steamers between the
1 United States and Europe. To fur-
| nish this vast multitude with a sum-
mary of the day's happenings, in vari-
; ous languages, is an enterprise which
cannot fail to become popular."
