Speaking to an audience of over a thousand people who gathered to wit: ness the opening of the Jordanville (N: Y.) public library, President Roosevelt gave advice concerning the duties of farmers to their wives, of the wives 10 their husbands and of both to their children. v The President said in part: "The value of a gift depends abso: slutely upon what use yo make of iti You have got tg use it rightly. That is all that any human being can do for anyone else--to give them a chance-- and it rests with himself or herself to take advantage of it. "I believe that more and more build- ings like this could besused to advan- tage not only because of the books, but because it can be used as a place for social meeting, and, while you boys and girls can meet here for social improve- ment, it will be a place, I hope, where mothers will meet also. If 1 have got to choose any whom I would put ahead of the Grand Army men even, it would be the mothers." The President switched abruptly to telling about the man who does not shirk his work. _ "I never preach the doctrine of shirk- ing," he said, "and I never put play ahead of work. The happiest persons are those » well the work before them, who. d . "1 do not envy the idler, neither the idle son of the multimillionaire or the hobo.

Trickery is trickery if it takes the form of doing a man out of his day's work or cheating in grocery stores or swindling on a great scale by stock gambling or the manipulation of railway securities. "I'm with you to the limit in trying to put a stop to the rascality of the big man. I'll go to any length to do it, and the big mans kiiows it, but there never will be an end until the big man is made to know that what you object to is rascality itself and not rascality in the hig men alone.

Municipal ownership is a failure on both sides of the ocean. What bas hap- pened in Cleveland in short order has taken a little longer time to happen in Dublin, but very much the $ame experi- ince has befallen that city that huni- feds of American cities report as the result of their experiments in the way of municipal ownership. Dublin undertook to save money by running its own lighting plant. After a number of years it is shown that the plant not.only dogs not pay but that the city has a great fund to raise to get it into anything like proper shape for ser- vice and then the chances must be taken of speedily having it again prove inefii- cient. Three years ago the city was told that $650,000 extra would put the plant in good shape. Now it is told that there is need of $350,000 more, and se it goes. The record of failure in the history of municipal ownership is so black and Jis- mal that it is astounding to find any man with his eyes open and his mind open who has the face to advocate further ex- periment in that direction. The blight of polities is just as sure and deadly in one country as in another. Tt is only a question of time in any event, and the greater the population the more easy going in its ways and ideas, the swifter the work of destruction. The truth is nét told even in Switzer- land, which is held up as a model of government, but the truth of other civilized countries is overwhelming in its mass of evidence against mixing gov- ernment and business, ---------- London's Strange Religions. The new Mormon "temple" at South Tottenham is the latest addition to the abundant facilities which Greater Lon- don provides for the exercise of what perhaps we may call strange religions. In the Fast End there are at least two Chinese joss houses, where the wearer of the pigtail can burn his incense stick ; the Malays can worship in their temple, near St. George's street east; the Par- sees bow down to the sun in an upper coom in Bloomsbury, and. Mahometan has a choice of mosques in different parts of London. Among the three hundred sects in London, all professing Christianity, are such little known bodies 2s the Sandemanians, a sect sprung from the Glassites; the Cokelers, whose Sabbath Saturday; the Peculiar Da~ole. who have a rooted objection to Joctors ; the followers of Joanna South- cott, domestic servant and prophetess, and the Shakers, whose numbers are now practically small. ~ ------------ Elephant vs. Locomative. An extraordinary railway accident happened recently in Siam, on the Royal State Railway, between Ban Phaji and Brangkgk. Late one evening, while rounding a slight curve, a heavy freight train, drawn by two engines, dashes n- to a large wild elephant which had strayed onto the track, and both the engines were overthrown, the leading one plunging over the embankment and the second capsizifig and falling across the line. Two men were killed and several injured, the brake van was smashed into a shapeless mass and thir- teen cars were derailed and six tele scoped. The elephant was killed and its body hurled sixty feet from the track. This is the second accident of the kind that has occurred this year in Siam, an elephant having been killed last February near Lapburi, with, however, «nly slight damage to the train. ) is man talks the less he on to deliver the The more a can be" depended goods, osm 3 ew.

The largest and most wonderful building in the world is the terminal building of the Hudson & Manhattan Railway Company in New York. It is twenty-two stories high, occupies the halves of two blocks frosting on Church street, which is patallel with Broadway - and the next toward the river, and extends from Cortlandt to Fulton streets on both sides of Dey street, which is crossed by a bridge. It covers 75,000, square feet om the ground and includes 18150000 square feet of floor space, equivalent to twenty. seven acres, says Popular Magazine, The gigantic structure stands over a Cofferdam, a waterproof pit 420 by 180 feet in size and 75 feet deep, inclosed in concrete walls 75 feet thick, which extend down to solid rock 95 feet be- low the street level. This pit is a rail- way station and receives the railways that run through the tunnels to Jersey City and bring into New York . the trains of the Pennsylvania, the Erie and the Lackawanna railroads, the passen- gers from the steamships larding in Hoboken and Jersey City, and the com- mutters who live along 500 miles of trolley railways in Northern New Jersey. The first floor under the surface con- tains the waiting room, including a coricourse of 75,000 square feet, where the passengers buy their tickets, check their- baggage and are distributed to the differtnt lines. Surrounding this enormous room is a department store where passengers and Suburbanites will be able to do their makkeking ahd shopping without going out of doors. There are. telegraph offices, barber shops, news stands, fruit and flower booths, confectionery shops, a govern- ment postoffice, restaurants and cafes, telephone booths, a barroom, a parcel room, cigar stores, offices where rail- way and steamship tickets to all parts of the world 'can be bought, and shops for the sale of all the necessities of life. It is the only building in the world acre. The Erie Railway Company has taken two acres of floor space, the United States Steel Corporation has taken one and a half, the United States Government has rented an acre for a branch postoffice, and the American Locomgtive Company and the General Electric Company have each taken a half acre. _The highest rental ever paid for business purposes in the world is re- ceived from the cigar trust for a room 10 by 22 feet in size at the corner of Church and Cortlandt streets on the ground floor adjoining the main en- trance: to the building. The rental is $18,000 a year, or $4 per square foot. There are 4,200 rooms in the build- ing, with more than 5,000 windows and 5,200 doors, of which 3.000 have panels of ground glass, Sixteen million bricks, 75,000,000 pounds of concrete and 25000 tons of steel have been consumed in its con- struction. Nearly 125 miles of picture rail was tacked on the walls of dhe rooms, 113 miles of electric wiring was laid and 30,000 electric light bulbs plac- ed on 6,000 electroliers and 7,000 brack- ets, and even these figures will be, en- larged. There are sixteen miles of plumbing. twenty-nine miles of steam heating pipe and ninety-five miles of conduit. There are thirty-nine elevators, and on a trip in all of them from the lowest base- ment to thé top story represents a journey of three and a half miles. t is estimated that 1,000 persons will be lodged under the roof when every office is taken, and timt over half a million people will enter it every day The force of employees, including" en- gineers, firemen, electricians, elevator boys and janitors will number 150. Aside from the regular receipts from rentals, the company will derive an enormous revenue from special priv- ileges. The advertising space in the building and ears was leased for $200,- 000 a year, the cigar privilege for $13,- 600 a year, the bar for $25000 a year, the soda water privilege for $19,000, and the bootblack privilege = for $11,000 The building and land cost $15,000,000. Other Uses. Rev. M. G. Dickinson, of the Second Baptist church, of Hoboken, was dis- cussing a brilliant and successful war that he had made on the sheath skirt, says the Washington Star.

The methods of the Teuton in win- ning Ris inamorata have been delineat- ed in a quaint German love ditty which has been very popular in the United States during the last few months. It is entitled "The Glowworm" and was written by Paul Lincke, who at the present time has four different operas running in France and Germany. "The Glowworm" song has been given 2.000 times in the "Frau Luna" opera at the Konigstadt Theatre, Berlin. The song has an odd theme. He glowworm's light is invoked to lead the lovers on their dark way, and the little insect is beseéched to guide them with its twinkling "candles." A peculiar chara- cteristic of the hallad's melody is a bold- ly developed obligato running through the music.

There has: heen much perturbation in English Church circles over the Mon- treal marriage of Mr. Banister with his deceased wife's sister. The British parliament has now - legalized marriage with a deceased: wife's sister; shall the church accept the law or shall it per- sist in its longtime belief and declara- tion that such marriages are non-marital unions, constituting the parties "open and notorious evil livers?" The bishops assembled at the recent Lambeth Con- gress--Canadian bishops of course were among them--had the question under discussion, and in the end declined to pass any resolution. In his encyclical the Archbishop ef Canterbury tells us whywhe congress failed to give "such guidance as in some parts of our com- munion is gravely needed." It is be- cause. "the conference is gathered from churches differing not only in the con- ditions (i.e. the.pational laws and cus- tom) under which they have to deal with these question, but also in the for- mal camons, diocesan, provincial and general, by which their action is ruled." How could you expect the voice of Canada or New Zealand or the Western States to be the same on this and other poipts as the voice of, say, London or rurhl England? As regards the vexed marriage question, the position of most English churchmen is accurately des- icribed in the recommendation of the Lambeth committee on divorce, which ideclared marriage with a deceased wife's sister to be ecclesiastically irregular and nothing more--marriages to be frowned upon and persuaded against in the mak- ing, but tolerated when-made. g Fated ICR A Finely Equipped Expedition. The Charcot expedition, in search of the South Pole, which has just sailed from Havre, is described as one of the best equipped Antarctic expeditions that have yet gone south. The French Par- liament voted it £24,000, and private subscriptions raised that sum to some £30000. The marine depariment sup- plied the coal, and the scientific instru- ments were in large measure contri- ographical Institute. Motor sledges built by the Marquis de Dion are part of the equipment, and these were sev- erely tested in the Alps last winter, Ex- perts in zoology, geology, terrestrial nragnetism, and photography are among the scientific staff, and the Aca- demy of Sciences has drawn up the programme of sciéntific work. Dr. Charcot, the leader, has had previous experience in the Antarctic, and is con- vinced that the best route to the Pole is via the Ross Barrier; but as he re- gards this as the special property of English explorers he intends to make for Alexander Land, where he thinks a barrier will be found similar to Ross'.

When he throws off the cares of office and romps with his children, Pre- sident Roosevelt becomes, for the time being, a prank-playing, big boy, The other day at Oyster Bay he turned up at luncheon looking a bit discomposed. Then he.related how he had gone to the bath-room to wash his hands, when he heard what Seemed to be stealthy footsteps coming down the hall. The boys had played a number of jokes on him, and he immediately surmised that they were about to spring a new one. He sopped a wash-rag in water, then, with the dripping cloth in his hand, he waited the attack. The steps came nearer, and nearer, then stopped, and some one tried to open-the door, which the president was holding shut. Sud- denly he threw the door wide open, simultaneously swinging the wet cloth over his head and shouting gleefully, "I've got you now!" ~The wash-rag landed, not on the head of one of the boys, as he had anticipated, but square across the face of a startled plumber who had come to repair a defective pipe.
