The Antiquity of Habit. HIS age owes much to inventions, but it also owes something to men of science who delve into the past for points on life in the long ago—a period or periods far remote from the good old times b of which thegrand- fathers are always telling, with un- favorable sugges- tion as to the present. Within a short time the world has been informed that they had regular bars and served mixed and other drinks in an ancient and apparently cos- mopolitan city destroyed by Vesuvi- us; and that the ancient Romans, who have been supposed to be a vig- orous people that ought to have scorned such indolence-promoting machines, had elevators in their houses. Moreover, no one who has looked at the counterfeits of Egyp- tian women as they were attired as far back as the Pharaohs can say that the tube skirt, which is cre- ating excitement here at this time, is a novelty. The Egyptian beau- ties wore such a skirt with even greater frankness than women show to-day, although there is no telling what fashion has in store. Speaking of the Egyptians, now comes Dr. Max Muller, of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, who says that women anciently ruled the bet- ter affairsof Egypt. And there you have suffrage as an antique institu- tion. The barbarian peoples devel- oped since are but now drifting to the habit of ancient civilizations. The learned doctor gives an ex- T O R I made her Queen, Dr. Muller goes so far as to exhibit a picture of Amenophis, with Taia sitting on his lap, just as the maid in love sits on the lap of the man in love in every human circle to-day. There is nothing new under the sun, but wonders will never cease. Brief Decisions An afterthought is too late if oppor- tunity has escaped. his While a man is whining about troubles, he might overcome them. c Children don’t practice hypocrisy, which is one of human nature's acquirements. JAMES J. HILL'S IDEA Too Much of It A NOTED humorous writer and lecturer, who has traveled some 20,000 miles in various States during the past few months, comes back to New York con- vinced that the public is sick of the Muckraker. He says that invariably he has prefaced his lectures with a state- ment of his purpose to dispel something of the gloom caused by persistent muck- raking in the press and the magazines, and that as invariably his audiences have risen to this idea with hearty applause. Muckraking has been overdone, and naturally the public is weary of it. But the sinister effects of muckraking will be far-reaching, and even good hu- mor cannot dispel them. The influence of this sort of pes- simism on the adult mind has been depressing. It has brought about the notion that men of great busi- ness achievements are crooks, and that all enterprise should be sub- jected to a searching analysis before patronage is in order. In fact it taints with the suspicion of graft or unlawful profit almost every voca- tion in which men engage. But worse than this is the effect of muckraking upon the mind of youth, The younger generation ab- sorbs everything of vital interest that affects or concerns current af- airs, and draws conclusions as to its own future. And the muckraking that has disgraced the press in re- cent years has naturally poisoned the youth with ambition. He has come to look upon most men in high places in trade and commerce as dis- honest, and to determine that time- honored notions as to the fruits of integrity are out of date. Many young men have been led to believe that dishonesty is the touchstone of business, and that to succeed they ample and says that Amenophis, themselves must practice it.
