It very often happens that a person will get mad in arguing a matter o 1 when some one differs with him. One commits a great mistake when he acts thus. He weakens himself and strengthens his adversary. Angel diminishes the force of an argument As soon as one gets mad in arguing ¢ point, he should stop talking or change his temper. Anger stands in the way of truth. ' It contracts one’s view. It spoils knowledge. Real wisdom, ac cording to the Scriptures, is “firs pure, and then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated,” says Ohio State Journal. There is no room for anger

in wisdom, and certainly, when a man is engaged in differing with his neighbor, it is best to be wise. Men sometimes can’t bear to be disputed. As soon as one differs, they summon up their ire, shake their fists, and rush down on a man like a clatter of tongs. It does no good. It confirms the’ adversary in his view and the rancor reacts upon those who indulge in it. Observe when you have had an argument with a man, and got mad, how afterward you regret it; how really it seemed a little devil had intruded it self upon your talk and left its tracks in your heart! And then, what a lack of pleasure there is, in getting mad! The only argument that .is pleasant and effective, is that which lis pure, peaceable and gentle.. G

ROMANES LECTURE GIVEN - BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Event Postponed by King’s Death Attracts a - Large Audience at Oxford---Lord Curzon Introduces the Distinguished American.

Oxford, England.—Before an audience of distinguished men and students of Oxford university, Theodore Roosevelt on June 7 dellvered the Romanes " lecture, his subject being “Biological Analogies in History.” The lecture had been scheduled for delivery on May 18, but of course was postponed on account of King Edward’s demise. It was given in the Sheldonjan theater and Lord Curzon, as chancellor of the university, presided and introduced the lecturer. :

In seeking to penetrate the causes of the mysteries that surround not only mankind but all life, both in/the present and the past, sald Mr. Roosevelt, we see strange analogies in the phenomena of lifg and death, of birth growth and change, between those physical groups of animal life -which we designate as species, forms; races and the highly complex and composite entities which rise before our minds when we speak of nations and civilizations. It is this study, he asgerted, that ‘has given gclence Its presentday prominence, and the historian of mankind must work in the scientific spirit and use the treasure-houses of science. . g ‘ To illustrate, the lecturer took several instances of the development of ‘new species and the extinction of species in tle history of mammalian life, showing that in some cases the causes ‘can be traced with considerable accuracy, and in other cases we cannot so much as hazard a guess as to why a given change occurred. - :

Analogies in Human' History.

- Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt sgid in part: : . -

- Now, as to all of. these phenomena in_the evolution of species, there are, if not homologies, at least certaln. analogies, In the history of- human societies, in thae history of the rise to prominence, of the development and change, of the temporary dominance, and death or transformation, of the groups of varying kind which form races or nations. .

As in bjology, so in ‘human history, a new form may result from the specializatiom of a long-existing and hitherto very slowly-changing generalized or nonspecialized: form: as, for instance, when a barbaric race from :a variety of causes suddenly develops a more complex cultivation and civilization. That is what occurred, for -instance, In western Europe during the centuries of the Teutonic and Tater the Scandinavian ethnic overflows from the north. All the modern couritries of western Europe are descended from the states created by these northern invaders.When first created they could be called “new” or ‘‘young' states in the sense that part or all of the people composing them were descended from races that hitherto had not been civilized at all, and that therefore for the first time éntered on the career af civilized communities. In the seuthern part of western Europe the new states thus formed consisted in bulk of the inhabitants already in the land under the Roman empire; and it was here that the new kingdoms first took gshape. Through a reflex action théir influence then extended back into the cold forests from which the invaders had come, and Germany end Scandinavia witnessed the rise of communities with essentially the same civilization as their southern neighbors; though in those communities, unlike the southern communities, there was no infusion of n2w blood, and in each case the new civilized nation which gradually developed was composed entirely of members of the same race which in the same region had for ages lived the life of a slowly changing barbarism: The same was true of the Slavs and the Slavonized Finns of eastern Europe, when an infiltration of Scandinavian leaders from the north and infiltration ‘of - Byzantine culture from the south joined to produce the ehanges which have gradually, out of the little Slav communities of the forest and the steppe, formed the mighty Russian empire of today. : #New"” and “Young” Natlons. Again, the new form may represent merely a splitting off. from a long-estab-lished, highly developed and specialized nation. In this case the nation is usually spoken of asa ‘‘young,” andis correctly spoken of as a “new,” nation; but the term should always be used with a clear sense of the difference between what is described in such case, and what is described by the same term in speaking of a civilized nation just developed from a barbarism. Carthage and Syracuse were new cities compared with Tyre and Corinth; but the Greek or Phoenician race was in every sense of the word as oldin the new city as in the old city. So, nowadays, Victoria or Manitoba {s & new community -compared with England or Scotland; but the ancestral type of civilization and culture is as old in one case as in the other. I of course do not mean for a moment that great changes are not produced by the mere fact that the old civilized race is suddenly placed in surroundings where it has again to go through the work of taming the wilderness, a work finished many centuries before in the* original home of the race; I merely mean that the ancestral history is the same in each case. . We can rightly use the phrase ‘‘a -new reople’” in speaking ..of Canadians or Australians, Americans or. Afrikanders. But we use it in an antirely different sense from that in which weiuse it when speaking of such communities as those founded by the northmen: and their descendants during that period of astonishing growth which saw the descendants of the Norse sea-thieves conquer and transform Normandy, Sicily, and the British islands; we use it in an entirely different sense from that in which we ise it when speaking ot‘the new states that grew up

BUILDING HOUSES OF GLASS

Expert Says That Within Ten Years They Will Be in Use—Excel in Many Different Ways. ,

“Within ten years people in this country will be building houses of glass, which will excel in ‘sanitary appointments, beauty and durability, and also low cost of maintenance, any type of structure of the present time.” This was the interesting declaration made recently by Roger S. Pease, one of the oldest glassmakers in the United States, a man who has taken an active part in all the improvements that have set the glass world face to face with new conditions, and placed it in line for the greatest development in its long history. By glass houses Mr. Pease said he meant just what he sald.- Foundations of concrete, which are now recognized as standard, the walls of wired glass, the ceilings and roofs of wired glass, and the floors of tile, covered with a light sheeting of wood—such a building will prove practically indestructible, can be made of any set of colors desired, and re-

around Warsaw, Kilef, Novgorod, and Moscow, as the wild savages of the steppes and the marshy forests struggled haltingly and stumblingly upward to become builders of citles and to form stable governments. Tlhe kingdoms of Charlemagne and Alfred were ‘‘new,” compared with the empire on the Bosphorus; they were also in every way different; their lines of ancestral descent had nothing in common with those of the polyglot realm which pald tribute to the Caesars of Byzantium; their social problems and aftertime history were totally different. -This I 8 not true of those ‘“‘new’* nations whjch spring direct from old nations.. Brazil, the Argentine, the United States, are all '‘new’ nations, compared with the nations of Europe; but with whatever changes In detail, their civilization {8 nevertheless of the general European type, as shown in Portugal, Spain, and England. The differences between these “new'. American and these ‘old” European nations are not as great-as those which separate the ‘‘new’ nations one from another and the ‘‘old” nations one from another. There ‘are in each case very real differences between the new and the old nation—differences both for good and for evil; but in each case there is the same ancestral history to reckon with, the same type of civilization, with its attendant benefits and shortcomings; and, after the ploneer stages are passed, the problems to be solved, in spite of superficial differences, are in thelr essence the same; they are those that confront all civilized peoples, not those that confront peoples struggling from barbarism into civilization. £

So, when we speak of the ‘death’” of a tribe, a nation or a civilization, the term may be used for either one or two totally different processes; the analogy . with what occurs in biological history belng complete. Certain tribes of savages, the Tasmanians, for instance, and varfous little clans of American Indians, have within the last century or two completely died out; all of the individuals have perished, leaving no descendants, and the blood has disappeared. Certain other tribes of Indians have as tribes disappeared or are now disappearing; but their blood remains, being absorbed into the veins of the white fntruders, or of the black men introduced by these white intruders; so that in reality they are merely being transformed into something absolutely dif{erent from what they were. ° A like wide diversity in fact may be covered In the statement that a civiliza-tion-has *“dfed out® . - Phenomena That Puzzle.. In dealing, not with groups of human beings in simple and primitive relations, but with highly complex, highly specialfzed, civillzed, or semi-civilized societies, there is need of great caution in drawing analogies with- what has occurred in the development of the animal world. Yet even in these cases it is curious to ser how some of the phenomena in the growth and disappearance of these complex, - artificial groups of human beings resemble what has happened in myriads of instances in the history of life on this planet. ¢ Why do great artificial empires, whose citizens are knit by a bond of speech and culture . much more than by a bond of blood, show periods of extraordinary growth, and again of sudden or lingering decay? In some cases we can answer readily enough; in other cases we cannot as yet even guess what the proper answer should be. If in any such case the centrifugal forces overcome the centripetal, the nation will of course fly to pieces, and the reason for its failure to become a dominant force is patent to every one. The minute that the spirit which finds its healthy development in local self-government, and in the antidote to the dangers of an extreme centralization, develops into mere particularism, into inability to combine effectively .for achievement of a common end, then it is hopeless to expect great results. Poland and certain republics of the western hemisphere are the standard examples of fallure of this kind; and the United States would have ranked wilh them, and its name would have become a byword of derision, if the forces of union had not triumphed in the civil war. So the growth of soft luxury after it has reached a certain point becomes a national danger patent to all. Again, it needs but little of the vision of a seer to foretell what must happen in any community if the average woman ceases to become the mother of a family of healthy children, if the awverage man loses the will and the power to work up to old age and to fight whenever the need arises. If . the homely, commonplace virtues die out, if strength of character vanishes in graceful self-indulgence, if the virile qualities atrophy, then the nation has lost what no material prosperity can offset, A

But there are plenty of other phenomena wholly or partially Inexplicable. It is easy to see why Rome trended downward when great slave-tilled farms spread over what had once been a countryside of peasant proprietors, when greed and luxury.and sensuality ate like acids into the fiber of the upper classes, while the mass of ‘the citizens grew to depend, not upon their own exertfons, but upon the state, for their pleasures and their very livelihood. But this does not explain why the forward movement stopped at different times, so far as different matters were concerned; at one time as regards literature, at another time as regards architecture, at another time as regards city building. We cannot even guess why the springs of one kind of energy dried up while there was yet no cessation of another kind. : . Holland as an Example. Take another and smaller instane», that of Holland. For a period covering a little: more than the seventeenth century, Holland, like some of the Italian city states at an earlier period, stood on the dangerous heights of greatness beside nations so vastly her superior in territory and population as to rhake it inevitable that sooner or later she must fall from the glorious and perilous eminence to which she had been raised by her own indomitable soul. Her fall came; it could not have been indefinitely postponed; but it

quires no painting, no papering inside, will be sound-proof, moisture-proof and fireproof. . s ‘ Mr. Pease has planned a house that will be composed of glass and is going to have it finished in some color that will make it attractive, and such colors will be permanent. The moment this idea is started, Mr. Pease declared, the public will be quick to see the value of the material. Its cheapness and reliability are understood. Glass, he said, is the most honest and most easily understood material in the world. It is not mysterious, and people will not have to employ experts to see that the quality is right. The glass for the walls of houses need not be transparent, but dense, like slate or stone. It will, however, be hard and durable. The roofs can be made of the same character of glas§. It withstands heat and cold alike, and whatever patents may interfere with the cheapness of the mate&'lal.now are so nearly expired that it will be but a short time before there will be eliminated as & cost factor. A

came far quicker than it needed to come,. because of shortcomirgs on her part to which both, Great Britain and the United States would be wise to pay heed. Her government was singularly ineffective, the decentralization being such' as often 'to permit the separatist, the particularist, spirit of the provinces to rob the central authority of all efficiency. This was bad enough. But the fatal weakness was that s 0 common in rich, peace-loving societies, where mer hate to think of war as possible, and try to justify their own reluctance to face it either by high-sounding moral platitudes or else by a philosophy of short-sighted materialism. The Dutch were very wealthy., They grew to believe that they could hire others to do their fighting for them on land; and an sea, where they did their own fighting, and fought very well, they refused in time of peace to make ready fleets so efficlent as either to insure the Dutch against the peace belny, broken or else to give them the viétory when war came. To be opulent and unarmed is to secure ease In the present at the almost certain cost of disaster in the future.

It is therefore easy to see why Holland lost when she did her position among the powers; but it {8 far more difficult to explain why at the same time there should have come at least a partial loss of position 11 the world of art and letters. Some spark of divine fire burned itself out in the national soul. As the line of great statesmen, of great warriors, by land and gea, came to an end, so the line of the great Dutch painters ended. The loss of pre-eminence in the schools followed the loss of pre-eminence in camp and in council chamber.

In the little republic of Holland, as in the great empire of Rome, 1t was not death which - came, but transformation. Both Holland and Italy teach us that races that fall may rise again.

Danger of Race Suicide.

There are questions which we of the great civilized nations are ever temwted to ask of the future. Is our time of growth drawing to an end? Are we as nations soon to come under the rule of that great law of death, which is {tself but part of the great law of life? . None can tell. Forces that we can see and other forces that are hidden or that can but dimly be apprehended are at work all around us, ‘both for good and for evil. The growth in luxury, in love of edse, in taste .for vapid and frivolous excitement, i 8 both evident and unhealthy. The most ominous sign fs the diminution in the birth-rate, in the rate of natural increase, now to a larger or lesser degree shared by most of the civilized nations of central and western Europe, of America and Australia; a diminution so great that if it continues for the next century at the rate which has obtained for the last 25 years, all the more highly civilized people will be stationary or else have begun to go backward in pepulation, while many of them will have already gone very far backward. There is much that should give us concern for the future. But there is much also which should give us hope. *- N¢ man is more apt to be mistaken than the prophet of evil. I believe with all my heart that a great future remains for us; but whether it does or does not, our duty ils not altered. However the battle may go, the soldier worthy of the name will with utmost vigor, do his alloted task, and bear himself as vallantIv 'in defeat -as in vietory. Comeé what will; we belong to peoples who have not vielded to the craven fear of being great. In the ages that .have gone by, the great nations, the nations that have expanded and that have played a mighty part .in the world, have in the end grown old and weakened and vanished; but so " have the nations whose only thought was to avoid all danger, all effort, who would risk nothing, and who therefore gained nothing. In the end the same fate may overwhelm all alike; but the memory of the one type perishes with it while the other leaves its mark deep !c:n the history of all the future of manind.

In the first part of this lecture I drew certain analogies between what had occurred to forms of animal life through the procession of the ages on this planet, and what has occurred and is occurring to the great artificial civilizations which have gradually spread over the world's surface during the thousands of years that have elapsed since cities of temples and palaces first rose beside the Nile and the KXuphrates, and the harbors of Minoan Crete bristled with the masts of the Aegean craft. But of course the parallel is true only in the roughest and most general way. Moreover, even between the civilizations of today and the civilizations of ancient times there are differences so profound that we must be cautious in drawing any conclusions for the present based on what has happened in the past. While freely admitting all of our follles and weaknesses of today, it is vet mere perversity to refuse to realize the incredible advance that has been made in ethical standards. I do not believe that there is the slightest necessary connection. between any weakening of virile force and this advance in the moral standard, this growth of the sense of obligation to one’s neighbor and of reluctance to do that neighbor wrong.

Problems of Modern Nations.

Every modern civilized nation has many and terrible problems to solve within its own borders, problems that arise not merely from juxtaposition of poverty and riches, but espectally from the self-con-sciousness of both poverty and riches. Each nation must deal with these matters in its own fashion, and yet the spirit in which the problem is approached must ever be fundamentally the same. It must be a spirit of broad humanity; of brotherly kindness; of acceptance of responsibility, one for each and each for all; and at the same time a spirit as remote as the poles from every form of weakness and sentimentality, As in war to pardon the coward is to do cruel wrong to the brave man whose life his cowardice jeopardizes, so in civil affairs it is revolting to every principle of justice to give to the lazy, the vicious, or even the feeble and dull-witted, a reward which is really the robbery of what braver, wiser, abler ‘men have earned. The only effective way to help any man is to help him to help himself; and the worst lesson to teach him is that he can be permanently helped at the expense of some one else. True liberty shows itself to best advantage in protecting the rights of others, and especially of minorities. Privilege should not be tolerated because it is' to the advantage of a minority, nor yvet because it is to the advantage -of a majority. No doctrinaire theories of vested rights or freedom of contract ean stand in the way of our cutting out abuses from the body politic. Just a little can we afford to follow the doctrinaires of an impossible—and incidentally of a highly undesirable—social revolution which, in destroying individual rights (including property rights) and the family, would destroy the two chief agents in the advance of mankind, and the two chief reasons why either the advance or the preservation of mankind is worth

REMOVED STAIN FROM NAMES

Titles Bestowed in Derision Made Honorable Through Deeds of Distinction. g

When in 1566 the count of Barlalmont characterized the league. of Flemish nobles arrayed against .his Spanish sovereign as “a band of beggars” the league, until then without a name, enthusiastically adopted the one the haughty servant of Spain had given them and called themselves the “League des Gneux.” They made the name a badge of honor for all time. In a similar spirit the French and American soldiers in Rhode Island during the war of the Revolution christened themselves the “sansculottes” at a.feast they gave where potatoes and similar viands constituted the menu, with the distilled juice of the corn, and any man considered himself disgraced if he appeared with a whole pair of breeches. This name, originating 'in this country, was transferred to France, where it was applied as a term of reproach by the aristocrats to the revglutionists of 1789. That the revolutionists did not

whila, It is an evil and a dreadful thing | to be callous to sorrow and suffering, and l blind to our duty to do all things possible | for the betterment of social conditions. ’{ But it is an unspeakably foolish thing to ; strive for this betterment by means 8o | destructive that they would leave no so-¥ cial conditions to better. In dealing with | all these social problems, with- the inti- | mate relations of the family, with wealth | in private use and busimess use, with la- | bor, with poverty, the one prime neces- ; sity 18 to remember that, though hard- | ness of heart is a great evil, it h,noi greater an evil than softness of head. f But {n addition to these problems the most intimate and important of all ’ which to a larger or less degree affect all the modern nations somewhat allke, we of the great nations that have expanded, that are now In complicated relations with one another and with allen races, have special problems and special duties of our own. You belong to a nation which possesses the greatest empire upon which the 1 sun has ever shone. I belong to a nation | which is trying, on a scale hitherto unex- ! ampled, to work out the problems of government for, of, and by the people, whilas at the same time doing the international duty of a great power. -But there are certain problems which both of us have to solve, and as to which our standards should be the same. The Englishman, the | man of the British isies, in his various homes across the seas, and the Amerl-! can, bLoth at home and abroad, are brought into contact with utterly alien | nDeoples, some with a civilization more anclent than our own, others still in, or| having but recently arisen from, the barbarism which our people left behind ages | ago. The problems that arise are o well- J‘ nigh inconceivable dificulty. They cannot be solved by the Zoolish sentimentality of stay-at-home people, with little patent recipes, and those cut-and-dried theories of the political nursery which have suchi limited applicabllity amid the crash of elemental forces.. Neither can they be solved by the raw brutality of the men who, whether at home or on the rough trontier of civilization, adopt might as the only standard of right in dealing with other men, and treat allen races only as subjects for exploitation. : . No hard and fast rule can be drawn as applying to all alien races, because they differ from one another far more widely than some of them differ from us. But there. are one or two rules which must not be forgotten. Inm the long run, there can be no justification for one race managing or controlling another unless the management and control are exercised in the interest ana for the benefit of that other race. This is what our peoples ‘have in the main done, and must continue in the future in even greater degree to do, in India, Egypt, and the Philippines alike. In the next place, as regards every~xce, everywhere, at home or abroad, we cannot afford to deviate from the great rule of righteousness which bids us treat each man on his worth as a man. He must not be sentimentally favored becéause he belongs to a given race; he must not be given immunity in wroag-doing, or permitted to cumber the ground, or given other privileges which would be denied to the vicious and unfit among themselves. On the other hand, where he acts in a way which would entitle him to respect and reward if he were of our own stock, he is' just as much entitled to that respect and reward {f he comes of another stock, even though that other stock produces a much smaller proportion of men of his type than does our own. This has nothing to do with social intermingling, with what is called social equality. It has to do merely with the question of doing to each man and each woman that | elementary justice which will permit him ~or her to gain from life the reward iwhlch should alwaye accompany thrift, | sobriety, self-control, respect for the rights of others, and hard -and intelligent work to a given end. To more than - such just treatment no man is entitled, and less than such just treatment no man should receive. Duty of Nation to Nation. The other tvpe of duty is the interna. tional duty, the duty owed by one na: tion to another. I hold that the laws of “morality which should govern individuals in their dealings one with the other are just as binding concerning nations in their deallngs one with the other. The application of the moral law must be different in the two cases, because in one case it has, and in the other it has not, the sanction of a civil law with force behind it. The individual can depend fol his rights upon the’ courts, which themselves derive their force from the police power of the state. The nation can depend upon nothing of the kind; afd therefore, as things are now, it is € highest duty of the most advanced an¢ freest peoples to keep themselves in suck a state of readiness #8 to forbid to any barbarism or despotism the hope of arresting the progress of the world by striking down the nations that lead in thai progress. It would be foolish indeed to pay heed to the unwise persons who desire .disarmament to be begun by the very peoples who, of all others, should not be left hglpless befoie any possible foe. But we must reprobate quite as strongly both the leaders and the peoples who practise, or encourage or condone, aggression and iniquity by the strong at the expense of the weak. We sheuld tolerate lawléssness and wickedness neither by the weadk nor by the strong; and both weak and strong we should in returr treat with scrupulous fairness. The foreign policy of a great and self-respecting country should be conducted on exactly the same plane of honor, of Insistence upon one’s own rights and of respect for the rights of others, as when a brave and honorable man {s dealing with his fel. lows. Permit me to support this statement outriof my own experience. For nearly eight years I was the head of a great natign and charged especially with the conduct of {its foreign policy;: and during those years I took no action with reference to any other people on the face of the earth that I would not have felt justified in taking as an. isdividual in dealing with other individuals.

I believe that we of the great civilized nations of today have a right to fee! that long careers of achievement lle before our several countries. To e¢ach of us is vouchsafed the honorable privilege of doing Mis part, however small, in that work. Let us strive hardily for success, even it by so doing we risk failure, spurning the poorer souls of small endeavor who know neither failure nor success. Let us hope that our own -blood shall continue in the land, that our children and children’s children to endless generationg shall arise to take our places and play a mighty and dominant part in the world. But whether this be denled or ‘granted by the years we shall not see, let at least the satisfaction be ours that we have carried onward the lighted torch in our own day and generation. If we do this, then, as our eyes close, and we go out into the darkness, and other hands grasp the, torch, at least we can say that our part has been borne well and valiantly.

80 regard® it is indicated by the fact that in the new calendar they adopted, beginning with September 22, 1792, they applied the term “sansculottes” to the five (or six) supplementary days placed at the end of the last month to complete the year, each of the 12 months having 30 days. These examples from history show how names given in dishonor can be redeemed in honor, a reflection in which those who think they are misnamed may ‘find congolation.—Army and Navy Journal.

They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes-when we read of the Cuticura Remedies, We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Reseolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. Sheis now sixteen years of age -ard a picture of health. Wa used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she hagd been affected by the disease. We used no other treatments after we ‘found out what the Cuticura Remedies ‘would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt.
