The Wrights will rather take the edge off the aeronautic exhibition of a mere balloon. THE ART EXHIBIT , Once a year pictures and other ob Jects of art are brought to the town and placed on exhibit. The town goes and comes away. 'The exhibit is clos ed a picture bought; the pictures are sent away. That is the way the aver age person la supposed to think of the Art Exhibit . But few of us really overlook the real gain. In truth, the exhibition has become so much of an institution that the novelty has worn off and we take it for granted. But If any defense of the affair were needed it is only necessary to watch the streams of people who come and go. '' We are not among those who will patronize the citizens of Richmond by telling them that they will experience a noticeable aesthetic uplift by going to see pictures, etc., once a year, for It Is the constant association with them which forms good taste. That would be as absurd as to say that they can become finished musicians by hearing some good orchestra once a year. Yet both are better than none and the only way to help the art association toward the ideal of continuous exhibitions is to help it to grow a little every year. There is something about having . w4i mi . i( ciuiuu auu a yuiuuuicui mllMlAB nf nir-.tur vrhlrh ran tut compared to the keeping of a standard set of weights and measures. It means that homes can be made pleasaater and more cheerful If they are good looking. Art is not an expensive thing. It only means taste. And taste is not a thing to be bought even from a professional decorator. If peo pie only knew that good looking things are in the end the : least expensive, there would be less fewer atrocities, the product ' of - misdirected artistic cravings, in houses. It is a demonstrable fact that ugly thing cost more than good things. By having the art association engaged in the holding of exhibits and buying pictures for a permanent exhibit which shall be open to the public we are really approaching the matter from an Intensely utilitarian point Of view. Fr though art is not all pictures , the appreciation of one beautiful thing means the consequent gain in all the other departments. A good picture, like a 'good anything else, is one which is universal in its appeal. It Is, therefore, that the most : encouraging part of the Ait association has been the tendency, continued from the first, to buy pictures. It must be said to the credit of those in ? cnarge mat tne selections nave been surprisingly good. The benefit to the town is greater if a permanent collection can be made and placed in some place where the town can always feel free to go. It is just as important that the Art assort Uon buy pictures as that it have exhlbttlona, , For the pfeturea thus bought belong to the town. It to the recognition of this fact that has prompted BIT. Daniel O. Raid of Now York, for many years to give a sua ot money to the Art association for a rjctara toad. It baa beam i

felted

largely to his geuerosity that the fine Collection of pictures is now In reality

the property of the town. This year he has offered to give $300, provided the people of the town raise an equal amount. We believe that there is enough Interest and rec ognition of the fact that the benefit to the town is lasting in the purchase of picture to make it comparatively easy to raise this amount. It can be dona if enough people will simply become members of the Art association at a small cost. Whether Mr. Reid'a offer Is made In this way or not it should make no difference. The Art associa tion has been a power for good in the town simply because every one has ta ken an. interest in it. The town must give a little individ ually to acquire the real feeling of ownership that makes it the most intense satisfaction and means of good to have a fine collection of beautiful things here as the property of the citizens and coming generations. Items Gathered in From Far and Near Outdoor Sleeping. Prom the Sacramento Bee. Sleeping out of doors in summer is a custom fast growing in favor in this country. It is especially well suited to California, where the absence of rain and the relative dryness of the air make tents superfluous. No amount of ventilation can make the air of a sleeping chamber so pure as that of the open, with nothing to ob struct the escape of impurities ex haled with the breath. Even when a complete calm seems to prevail there Is always a movement of the atmos phere so that ah entire change of the surrounding air occurs every second. Doctors in California now generally recommend sleeping In the open air. and many patients experience much benefit from it. Alliances for Peace. Prom the Philadelphia Ledger. Mr. Carnegie will And plenty of sympathy for his desire to organise league of peace among the nations of the world, but he has yet to point the way to the realization of his dream. It is perfectly clear that if the United States and several others of the great powers could be brought to the point of mutually abandoning all ambitions that are likely to bring them into con flict with one another, and to form a league for the forcible imposition of arbitration upon the rest of the world, we should have International peace of a sort. But the premises call for so many things that are at present impracticable that Mr. Carnegie cannot justly complain if his aspirations are still regarded as an i iridescent dream. Tho Regular Army. From the Philadelphia Press. . The part of the regular army in the civil war has yet to be fully written. It furnished nearly all the army and corps commanders of the volunteer army, most of the general and a large part of the field officers. It gave the force which protected the capital before Sumter was tired upon. It guarded the retreat at Bull ' Run, and had the regular army wisely expanded by adding new men at the opening of the civil war to the small force Of 10,000 men that rout would probably never have occurred. At Gettysburg it did its full' share, particularly in its splendid artillery, and it is the worst criti; dsn-h of General McClellan's handling of Antietam that he did not launch on the retreating foe the unshaken division of regulars under Gen. Fitz-John Porter. The Law's Delsy. From the St. Louis Times. It is a hopeful sign that lawyers are joining with laymen in the demand that is fast becoming insistent for a reform in legal procedure. The folly and Injustice of the present methods are too well known to need any setting forth, but unfortunately the lawyer claims that the revision of the code will accomplish what is needed, while the layman well knows that this Is only half , the truth. The idea of protecting the Innocent has been carried to such an excess that it is becoming increasingly difficult to con vict the guilty. The thousand forms which merely obstruct justice in the trial courts are supplemented by endless technicalities in the appellate courts, until reversals upon the most puerile grounds have become so com mon that they would be ludicrous were they not so sad in their farreaching effects. Looking Up. From the Philadelphia Record. When two railroad systems order 176 locomotives it is evident that the transportation business is looking up. Last year it-suffered with every other sort of business. This year, with ev ery other sort of business, it is stead ily Improving. Its difficulties last year were due very slightly to legisla tion Or the attitude of the public. Mark Twain Up to Date. From the Richmond Timea-Diepatch. Be a good democrat and you will be lonesome. . LITERARY WORLD READING FOR AMERICANS. What time you spend in perusing scandal, meaningleas polities, new of racing, gossip of society, would be more than enough to make you, in the amplest sense, an educated pepson, it is not the number of volumes, but how we read, and what. Charles William Eliot, for forty years President of Harvard University has undertaken to lend his experience and his intelligence to collecting in fifty volumes uch of th world's literatar aa he deems most useful for

Americans. That collection we are to have the satisfaction of presenting t6 the world. Amid the wheat and

chaff of life, this particular bit of work seems to us occasion for rejoic ing Writing In this paper at the be ginning of the year, the then junior partner told something about what his father's existence ' had meant to the reading public of America. Of the literature which he made accessible to those who are not rich, there bare been 5.720,000 volumes of Dickens, 1,592.000 of Cooper, 92.500 Of Scott, 732,000 of Shakespeare, 616,000 Of Thackeray, 1,905,000 encyclopedias, and 9,174,000 histories, including such writers as Green, Gibbon, Motley, Prescott, GulzOt writers who, as Mr. Bryce would say, give. strength to the wings of the mind. i The "best literature creates those faculties 'which sensational papers and ephemeral novels destroy. It develops " powers : of enjoyment unknown to the hasty. It helps us to rise "; above poverty and above wealth. It is to the mind what air and exercise are to the physique. It Is the recorded human best in thought and feeling the company of the deepest and most gifted, expresslag what in them was worthiest of ex pression. Lamps of the intelligence. good books burn brightest In adversi ty. Carlyle exaggerated but slightly when he said no book that will not im prove by repeated readings deserves to be read at all, and still less did he ex aggerate when he found in a collec tion of books the truest university. Editorial in Collier's for June 5. TWINKLES His Colors. "What are your son's college col ors?" Well," answered Farmer Corntostel- "Josh has flaured so strong in hazing an' football, I should say they must be black and blue." .Mental Cure. "Do you think bee stings cure rheu matism?" "No," answered Grandfather Stubbs, "but they're mighty likely to make you forget you've got it." A Wayside Observation. "What I want you to immediately do," said the woman, with a determin ed look, "is to unceremoniously pick ud that ax and before eating this lunch to carefully split some wood." "Alas!" exclaimed Plodding Pete, "how unreasonable some women are! They think wood Is as easily split as I an infinitive." "De disappointed man," said Uncle Ebon, "I de one dat spent his time hooin' foh de best, 'stid o reachin' fur it." The Summer Girl's Problem. When forth she goes at fashion's call, To promenade and chat, How shall, she find a parasol That's bigger than her hat? , The Main Consideration. Who cares for the time or the money we'll miss Ere a notable prize can be won? The question of real importance is this: . isWill it be a good job when it's done? When you start a canal, men appeal t to your fears f With figures surprising in dollars and .. years. . To all queries save one the world closes its ears: Will it be a good job when it's done? Who cares for the hours that the ora tors keep? We list to each favorite son And inquire without hoping that talk will prove cheap "Will it be a good job when it's done?" When reform or revision is set under way,.. Be the cost what it may, e'en ten mil lions a day. we re content if we re sure we can candidly say, "It'll be a good job when it's done." MASONIC CALENDAR.

A bill has awoo Into tho Illinois legislature limiting the diameter of women's hate. By this bill tho size of millinery headgear is limited to sot more than eighteen laches across from brim to brim, and tb said mUUsary shall not weigh to exceed flve onaca. Whereat the Innocent bystander rejoices. Seriously, however The big feminine hat is a real danger. It is insanitary, and it is a men ace to the health of women wearers. It is productive of nervous ills, and what is of particular interest to wo menIt causes a loss of facial beauty. Think of It! Some of these hats are as much as sixty or seventy inches in circumfer ence and with the heavy trimmings and ornaments weigh as much as seven or eight pounds, to which must be added great bunches of "rata" and roll of wire and hair that weigh two or three pounds. Now! The nerves at the base of the brain are under a tremendous strain to carry such a burden, and the reins that carry blood to the head become congested. ' Result? Loss of blood nourishment to head and face, Interruption of blood flow; therefore face flashings, therefore headaches. But worse and more of ItRed noses! Rained hair! Wrinkles! Of 'course women will suffer much martyrdom for the sake of Dame FashIon, but when they discover that certain fads are not only a menace to health, but especially a menac to facial beauty, why, that is different Several medical societies have recently pointed out the danger that comes from the wearing of the huge hats of the period. If women would give a little study to the origin of the big bat it might deter them some. The big bat fad was originated by Lillian Datssalnt. a notorious woman of Paris. It is worn there only by women of bar class and never by th re spectable women of the city. The big hat In Paris is on of tb badge by which th demlmondaln advertises herself. , There are many women who will nut go to the extreme length or width of the current millinery fad. Others pre fer to be out of tb world rather than out of fasbion. Poetry and Patriotism. ; Zakris Topellus, "the most popular poet Finland has ever known." was a lover of bis native land above all else. Once, says Paul Waineman in "A Sum mer Tour In Finland, be wrote as follows to a little Finnish boy who waa at the time residing In England for his schooling: "Ton are in a great and rich country, but never forget that yon are only an exile. If Queen Victoria herself should writ and offer you a post In her kingdom, remember that you most answer. I cannot because I have a cottage waiting for me when I am grown up. It has a roof higher than the loftiest ban la Windsor castle That roof Is tb bin ky of my own land." .

The Sunday School Commentary

SERMOX.JUNE6, BY icoarnaat. use, ay W'bad last weak th option of a Whitsuntide lesson on the Holy Spirit. And such a study would fit well Into either tae lesson of last week oa tb outward Manifestation of faith or thi one on tho inward victory over that which too often controls the tongue The Holy Spirit, having full control in His own house for we are temples of the Holy Ghost-is the great secret of a correct outer or inner life. W speak of desiring mora or th Spirit, whereas He Is ever desiring more of oa. According to chapter tv, B, R. V margin, "The Spirit whom He caused to dwell in us jealously desireth us. God hi always more ready to bless than we are to be blessed. This lesson, like tb last, come under th head of th second phase of our salvation, th manifestation of tb llf of Christ la as. He aever sinned either la thought or word, but what shall be said of us who so often fall? And caa.w ever expect to be the perfect people of vers 2 who offend not la word? A great horse is turned about as the driver wills by a bit In his mouth, and a great ship Is turned about by a very small helm, and the tongue, which no one can tame, affects our whole biag. and too often not for good. The trouble is In the heart (verse 14). for our Lord said that those things thst proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart and defile us (Matt xv. 13. 19). The lesson says that out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing aad cursing, and, as the same fountain cannot send forth both sweet water and bitter, there moat be in the believer two fountains, the old and the new, that which is carnal and sinful and that which n born of God. which cannot aln. The old is earthly and devilish; the new la from above, pare and peaceable (15-18). The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary the on to the other. But if we live in the Spirit walk in the Spirit and are led by tb Spirit we stall not fulfil th lust of th flesh (Gal. v, 16-25). If we could keep oar months and our tongue w would certainly keep our aoula front much trouble, a th Golden Text aye, bat who la equal to It? When we consider It we feel Ilk saylag with Asa. "Help us, O Lord our God, for we rest on Thee, and in Thy same we go," or with Jehoshaphat W have no might neither know we what to do, but our eyes are upon Thee" (II Chroa, xlv. 11; xx. 12). la this as In all the Christian life we need to learn our utter helplessness In ourselves; that In us that Is, in oar flesh dweDeth bo good thing (Rom. vil, 18). bat that la the Lord have we righteousness and strength (Iaa..zlv. 24).

He la mentioned a number of time In tb New Testa moot and waa an associate of tbe Apostle Paul (Cot iv. 14; II Tim. lv, 11; Pblt xxiv).

One of It peculiar characteristics Is tbe number of Christ best parables which It records that are not found in any other gospel. - Among these are the good Samaritan, tbe lost coin, tbe lost sheep, tbe prodigal son and the Pharisee aad publican. The parable of Dives snd Lazarus Is also found only in Luke. In a general way the gospel of Lnk may be divided as follows: ; Preface (t 1-4). Prophecy, birth and childhood 0, d; U. 52). Introduction to Christ's public ministry (111. 1; lv. 13). Various phases of Christ's Gaffleafi ministry (lv. 14; Hit 9). Jericho to Jerusalem rrvin, 81; six. 48).
