MINERS MAKE GOOD SOLDIERS.
(Engineering and Mining Journal.)
In the opinion of a British officer,
the best soldier Is the miner. He Is
strong In the back, used to cramped-,
positions, familiar with danger and ex
plosions, and is said to put two and
two together much quicker than men
f ( in other trades. This has been rec
ognized by the Canadian military au
tliorlales, who have sent out a special
appeal to all the mining camps for men
for ttie proposed pioneer battalion.
MORE OLDER SCHOOL CHILDREN.
(New York World.)
Some 12.000 foreign children are add
ed to New York schools yearly. The
war having stopped immigration,
t. rob rs expected a lessening of part
time, only to be met by an unusual
number of pupils between 14 and 20
who cannot get work. The 1873 panic
cheeked the growth of schools in the
state because children went to work
earlier to help out parents. The blow
to ,S w York's import trade by the
war linds many workless children able
to continue in school, a wise use of en
forced leisure.
STAY WHERE YOU BELONG.
(Knickerbocker Press.)
The secret of success in life is to
stick to the game you know and to
play 11 for all you are worth. Augustus
Heinze was once offered $10,000,000 for
his copper mines. All Inventory of
his estates shows that he died worth
less than $1,500,000. No man knew ]
copper in Montana better than Heinze,
but be did not understand copper
stocks In Wall street, and when he de
serted the far west and ventured into
thp east he met disaster. Jim Keene
piled up a fortune of several millions
ng stocks during the Comstock
boc.ra and lost It in a few months when
} tried to play a bigger game with
Jay Gould.
P.udyard Kipling is one of England's
great authors. Suppose he were to
trade places with Qen. French, Cobb,
Collins and Baker are stars of the base
ball diamond, but neither of them
could do as well as Mr. Lansing as
sect otary of state.
Many of the failures in life are be
cause men are misplaced or misplace
themselves. Stick to what you know

THE WORLD’S FUTURE.
(Torrington Register.)
The modern idea about the wforld,
and especially the soalr system part of
it, is that it contains the seeds of its
final dissolution, and that some day it ;
will wholly disappear, possibly to be
gin over again; hut that is another
story. We have now a different Idea
promulgated by Prof. Jeaumann, in the
last Smithsonian Institution report. He
predicts a future of limitless extent,
in which the sun will shine right on
forever as brightly and warmly as it
does now.
Rut there will surely be great changes
in the terrestrial situation, changes
as marked as from the Silurian age to
the tertiary period, when this earth
would he as unfit for human beings as
the age of mollusks was. And what
does this mean? That mankind will
have to change materially. In what
way? is a very Important inquiry.
Will we be able to trust it all to evo
luton, to prepare a humanity suited to
the changed physical condition? Of
coruse it Is a speculative question, but
I the best solution we know of Is that
since the evolution from the cave man
| to the culture of today has been along
\ spiritual lines, it will continue so until
jthe last man will be a lofty spirit,
waiting out in the twilight zone of the
old unverse for a new one to appear.

(Atlanta Constitution.)
A new cry rises from the ranks of
. the Russian peasantry—something un
heard until the peasant marched away
to the world-war, and that cry—now
n popular demand—it for the newspa
per.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press says that every train stopping
at a wayside station is besieged by
peasants of both sexes and all sexes,
stretching their hands to the passen
gers and crying: "Give us a paper!”
That much, at least, for their en
lightenment has been accomplished by
(he war, for It is said that heretofore
the Russlnri peasant looked upon a
newspaper as material for rolling a
cigarette, but "now he reads it from
beginning to end, and every bit of an
old newspaper Is received as a crust
of bread by a starving beggar."
So the newspaper whose power, wise
ly administered, Is a strength to a
country in time of peace, may lose vic
tories to the enemy when the very life
of that country Is at stake.

WAR ORPHANS.
(Seattle PP.-I.)
The French cabinet has stopped for
a moment from the business of war to
take up the matter or caring for the
orphun children wihch the war is cre
ating in such enormous numbers.
Without going Into details, the cabinet
has made the formal announcement
that all of the war orphans are to be
come wards of the state. As such they
will be maintained and educated ac
cording to plans to be made public
later.

I accordance with the French system.
I When a similar task confronted our
government a different solution was ar
i ived at. The dependent of the Amer
ican soldier who is killed in any war
is pensioned, and pensioned liberally,
measured on the European scale. Each
soldier's widow of our civil war not
only received a pension for herself, but
a further pension for each of her chil
dren, payable up to the time when the
chid reached ills sixteenth year. After
that he was presumably capable of
self-suport.
The American system is more in
accordance with the genius of our in
stitutions. It left the family life In
act and there was no direct govern
[ merit interference with it. While de
pendent upon the government to some
extent, there was no direct appear
ance of tlie government in the matter.
There was nothing instltutionnal or
bearing the brand of charity about the
matter of pensions of the kind. Indeed,
until abuses crept in, the American
pension roll was a roll of honor and
was so considered.
