ll'ng End Foolishness.
Dr. Max Nordau. a learned German
6i the Jewish race, delivered himself
some time ago of a salty screed against
the universal degeneracy ofL mankind
at the close of the nineteenth century.
Morality, religion and intellect were
afflicted Willi a poisonous mildew pro
kious to dropping to pieces through
decay. In every aspect in which you
could view him the fag end of the
century man was a. bad lot. quotl)
Dr. Nordau. Immediately on the pol)-
licntion of his bilious ebullition Nor-
den was attacked by crilics on all
sides. They argued away the slimy
green and yellow fiction of thotiinc and
stood up for the. march of lif‘llfll‘t‘nel all
along the line. Now Dr. Max comes
back at his critics one and all and de-
clams more vigoroust Tllllll ever that
the human race is tobogganing down
hill to destruction at breathless speed.
Well, it is not true. Many instances
(it degeneracy come to the surface. but
they are no more a type of the race than
the cheat that is found in wheat is to
be taken for the wheat.
The truth is that never before Were
there so many efforts to improve the
mean there are at present. We defy
Dr. Max Nordau or anybody else to lay
hisflnger on a time in the world’s his—
tm'ywhen the people themselves were
studying with such interest and intelli‘
genes the great moral and economic
problems of society. That is the most
cheering indication of ally. What other
people do for him counts for nothing in
thedeveiopment of the individual It
ieonly what he does for himself, al-
though others may sometimes give him
hints on how he may help himself.
The race is improving physically.
Young American Women etmecially are
teller. handsomar, healthier and stron-
ger than those of a generation: agowere.
There never was a time when fatal con-
tagious. epidemic and other diseases
were» nearly within control of science.
' Ivan consumption: and cancer will be
curable henceforth. Civilized physical
, and mental culture is remodeling the
‘ race. In the field of more benevolence
' theweelthy and the wise never before
. exerted themselves so greatly to assist

‘ 5 or quilter- so much wickedness, in the
will as there is good. If there were.
all there would be more thieves and
_. more than honest people. and the
‘r‘eoe would quickly destroy itself.
} No. At all times there is vastly more
power in good than in evil. Moreover.
there is not half so much evilnt present
inthewtn-ld as the pessimism tryto
ache us believe. Let us donawo would

Reformed Spelling.
Some seven'years ago the German an.
tien quietly simplified its spelling by
the knocking out of various superfluous
letters. For 30 years auuinber of Amer-
ican enthusiasts have been trying to do
something of the same kind for the Eng-
lish language. Before that Webster in«
itated the move, which has finally sue-
ceeded hero. to drop the“u" that is still
retained by the English in such words as
"favour,” “labour” and "honour. ”
Webster also made several other admira~
ble changes in the direction of shorten-
ing and simplifying words, changes
which, although generally adopted in
America, are still repudiated with scorn
by the British.
The changes contemplatfil by another
school of reformers ot‘ thraifinglish hut-
gnago. in addition to simplitimitions like
spelling words beginning with “ph”
with “1" instead, as “fraso” for
“phrase." would reorganize our lan-
guage on the phonetic basis, or “fo-
netic," as the new spelling would be.
We would spell Words as they are pro—
nounced. This was the reform attempt-
ed 30 years ago. but which has never
succeeded to any extent. Funk & Wag-
nalls. the publishing llnn, pl’upflt-io now.
however. to take the matter up in ear-
nest.
They have issued circulars on the sub-
ject to publishers, teachers and scholars
throughout the country. In these circu—
lars they declare that they will adopt
forthwith into their four [writxlical
publications the new spelling if a suf-
ficient number of thasctowhom the cir-
culars are addressed will do the same,
so that F. 3:. W. will not he fumed to
bear alone the brunt of all the criticism
that will be tired at. them. The circular
contains a list of the words whose spell.
ing it is proposed to change.
Some of the words they will change
slightly are geographical names. For
instance. they will spell Bering sea,
Tibet. Sudan, (Phile. Korea and Haiti
as here written. Many authorities do
that already. however. They will drop
silent letters. giving us. for instance.
"receit" for receipt. Perhaps they will
spell “knowledge" thus, “nollellg. " In
such \vords as "dropped" they Would
change the “cd” lo“t." thus, "dropt,"
writing Words whose tlnaI "cd" is pro«
nounced like "t" as they are spoken.
This would be a great gain in the line
of brevity. In many other words Funk
& Wagnalls would make one letter grow
where two grow before.
The naval war of the future is to be
conducted largely by scagoing torpedo
vessels. The three new torpedo b1 arts
which our navy dctntrtment will cause
to be constructed at once will be of the
most improved modern pattern. The
United States is not yet on a level with
Frrmec in the etl‘mtivencss of its tmpodo
boat service. but the new vessels of this
class will shove us far on the road. The
new boats will he of stml. twin scrim:-
and will he of a size to holdfilll tons of
machinery and armament. They must
also. according lo the spm‘ilications. be
able to run out less than as miles an
hour for tw‘o consecutive hours. They
will thus be among thosm-edicst torpodt‘
vessels atloat.
Whatever excuse there may be in the
minds of moplo for lynching a murderer
at any time there certainly is no Justifi-
cation for lynching ‘ono who is con-
demand to be hanged and on whom the.
smitencn is in a few days to he certainly
executed. In that case, for outsiders tr.
take his life is murder. wanton and an.

It is most unfortunate that the Span-
ish-American republics have not cease
enough and intelligence enough to know
what is for their own best interests so
far as to unite and form one great coun-
try. with one capital and one president.
Then they could bid defiance to the
armies of the World.
The new shaft in the Tamarack Cop-
per mine in Michigan will boone of the

bowels of the earth. it will be rather
scary to go down there till one gets
