CALENDARS FOR 1897.
Admirers of artistic printing have
formed the habit of expecting among
the holiday offerings of the Frederick
A Stokes company, New York, some
thing finite out of the ordinary In the
way of calendars, and this year this
expectation has not I n disappointed.-
We have n Ived through M. Nor
ton three of the exipiisile annuals pub
lished by tills enterprising firm and
they certainly are delightful specimens
of artistic excellence both In design and
in reproduction.
"A Calendar of Cheery Little Folk"
comprises six fne similes of water col
or ileslf.ns by Francos Prundage, of
child faces, five being of coy and arch
young misses from two years of nge
to six, and the sixth representing mas
culine young America years old,
titlired in the martial guise of a foot
ball sweater. Tile faces are piliatit
und pert and the dainty effects of the
original sketches are accurately and
sympathetically transmitted in the col
or printing.
"The Calendar of Chrysanthemums"
is made up of fae similes of water
color designs by Paul do Lnngprc. H
gives six realistic representations nf
us many different varieties and ndiir
conibinal ions of this favorite lUitiiinn
nl flower and is well calculated to at
tract admiration from bom connois
seurs and laymen.
Put to the notion of the writer
and after all It is largely a question
of Individual taste the gem of the
Series is Henrietta D. Lu Fralk's "Cal
endar of Violets," giving six repro
ductions of water colors representing
tint, it Is true, six different hues of this
Inure modest nnd less versatile flower,
lint six different arrangements of its
winsome colors that add to Its nat
ural fascination. The appi opriateness
of either of these beautiful calendars

The hook reviewer of the Philadelphia
Tress in referring to Mr. Klbert Hub
bard's "Little Journeys to the Homes of
Oood Men ami (ireat" a Volume, by the
way, which Professor Howell has found
worth recommending the teachers of
Hernnton recently spolge of Mr. Hub
bard's "flippant Impertinence horn of stu
pendous egotism." This harsh judgment
is not shared by the lx)inlun Academy,
which perhaps Is as good an authority on
such matters ns the esteemed Press is.
It doesn't like the. title, but it says of the
contents: "As a matter of fact, these
twelve essays nre particularly free from
faults of the kind their Ill-chosen title
suggests. Jejune they are not; neither
are they amateurish. Indeed, it Is not to
praise them too highly to say that they
are free from conspicuous faults of any
kind." After pointing out a mistake or
two, which the Academy wriler confesses
he hardly feels It to bo quite generous
even to call attention to, he con
tinues: "As we dip deeper Into Mr.
liubbanrd's pages, the simplicity n:nl
grace of his narrative compel conll
denee. lie hns tho true Instinct of
compression and the skill to seize essen
tials. He paints pictures for us with the
directness of n Degas, but he Infuses Into
them the Idealism of a Millet. He tells
the story of Mary Ann F.vnns' association
with George Iewes with sympathetic In
plght and completeness, nothing extenuat
ing and setting naught down in malice.
His description of his stay at Warwick,
of the Inn there, and of his walk over to
Nuneaton Is written with cameo-like dis
tinctness." The nuthor Is praised for his
skillful treatment of Thomas Carlvle nnd

shows his possession of "the gift of sym

by him effectually in a line a man "as'ln

Marion Crawford, fe Novelist,
Thinks That the tirowlliol Social
ism is Krspnti'ihlc lor .Much of (lie
Sprcud of Divorce.
Twenty-five or thirty years ngo di
vorces were so lure as to be regnrded
in the lisht of very uncommon excep
tions to the general rule. Th.fdvorce
law Itself Is not vet forty years old
In Kngland, nor twenty ears old in
Frame. In Italy there Is no civil di
vorce whatever at the present day,
nnd the Catholic church only grant:!
what nre not properly divorces, but
nnnullatlotis of mat tinges, in very rare
cases, and with the greatest reluctance.
Kven in America every one can re
member how divorce was spoken of and
thought of until very recently. With
in a few years it wus deemed to be
something very like a dlsrjracc, and
certuitily a profoundly cynical and Im
moral proceeding. Today we can most
of us count In our own acquaintance
half a dozen persons who have been
divorced and been married again.
Whatever we may think of It In our
hearts, or whatever our religious con
victions may be on the subject, it has
become so common that when we bear
of a llaeiant case of cruelty or un
faithfulness, by which a man or wo
man suffers, the question at once rises
to our lips, "Why docs she not di
vorce her husband?" or. "Why does he
divorce his wife?" U'e huve giown
used to the idea, and if It does not
please us, it certainly does not shock
us. It shocked our futhers, but vo ure
perfectly Indifferent.
Of course there are ninny, perhaps a
majority, who would In their own lives
put u: with ultnost anything rather
than go to the divorce court for peace.
Some actually suffer much, and ask
for no redress. Hut there are very
tunny who have not suffered anything
at nil, excepting the favorite "Incom
patibility ot temper," and who have
taken advantage of the loose laws in
certain states to trv a second matri
monial experiment. In what culls Itself
society there seems still to be a preju
dice tigninat a third marriage for ill
Voiced persons, but at the present rale
of advance In civilization this cannot
Inst Ions, and the old slsnltleanre of
the word "mnrtlase" will be quite lost
bernre our youngest grandchildren nre
dead; In other words, bv the end of
the next century, at the furthest.
There nre vnrious forms of honorable
political dreaming and of dishonorable
political lnlseblef-mulilng nowadays,
which we are accustomed to call col
lectively "socialism." Most of these
rely for their hope of bopular success
upon their avowed Intention of divid
ing property and preventing Its subse
quent accumulation. Marriage is an
Incentive of such accumulation, be
cause it perpetuates families, and there
fore keeps property together by Inher
itance. Therefore all forms of social
Ism are at present in favor of divorce,
as a means of ultimately destroying
marriage altogether. A proverb says
that whosoever desires the end, desires
also the means. There Is more truth in
the spying than molality In the point
of view It expresses. P.ut there aro
those who desire neither the means nor
the end to which they lead, and a
snuggle is coming the like of which
has not been seen since the beginning
of the world, and of which we who
ure now alive shall not see the termin
ation. ( From "A Hose of Yesterday."

Century.)

FORMER CABINETS.
From the lialtlmore News.
Since the establishment of the Federal
government, six cabinet portfolios have
been held bv eleven cltlr.ens of Maryland.
Three of them were secretaries of the
navy, one was secretary of war, one sec
retary of state, two secretaries of the
treasury, two postmasters general and
live attorneys general. In the latter of
ce particularly I'l- Maryland appoint
ees. Smith. Plnkney. Taney, Nelson an I
Johnson, have rarely been equaled In
ability. Stoddert organised the navy De
partment and Kennedy's administration
of it was admirable. Hlair and Civs.-w. II
are among the gnatcst of the postmast
ers general. For either of Close otllces,
presldcnt-elecl McKlnley can Und excel
lent man rial In Maryland, and II is likely
that should he come to Maryland for one
member of his cabinet, nn honor lo
which Ihe stale Is tidily entitled, having
been overlooked during the six adminis
trations of Hayes. C.arllelil, Arthur, Clow
land and Harrison, one of these three
portfolios would be tendered a Maryland
lb-publican.
' No Marylnnder has had a fair opportun

Tho measurement of distance by pacing
and by wheel are direct methods. The
tolli, wing may be termed Indirect, since
by tl em the distance is not ootnine i ny
actual measurement over the ground fcur
lace, but l.y Indirect means, such ns by
xisual angles, by sound, and by throwing
stones or shooiing arrows. Fo.- 'IcT.-r-mining
distance by visual ung'. s, the fol
lowing very sun !e and easily constructed
instrument is n-c-ssary: Take a sli'.ilgat
stick si:, inches loin,, and mark on il the
inches, j inches, and 't inches. Then
tie tu the center of this stick a siring wiiii
a knot nt the other end, so that the d's
tance from ihe stb-t to the knot Is two
feet. Now for ihe use of tins ins; ruineiit.
Suppose you sec a man in a statuhug
po--iiou. "whom yon know io be six fc-i
tail, end you wish to determine how lar
lie Is trom ion. Place tin knot of ihe
string between your teeth, nnd with the
right bund hold Ihe stick vertically before
your eye and nt ihe string's length from
our nioi-tn. Now look at the man and
place your thumb tit such a point on the
stick, that the distance from your thumb
to the top of the stick will Just cover the
height of the man. Suppose this .liitaiiee
to be one inch. The man Is six feet, or
li Indus tall. He Is therefore 7J times ns
far from your eye as the stick D. or he Is
HI fit dlMllllt. H.v the same ine.iiis you
can determine the distance to a hull n
tree, a monument, or to any other object
of known heliihl.

Fdliihiitgh hits been trying for many
months the experiment of making its
own electric lisflit instead of buying
it ready iimdc from private corpora
tions. No one wlm h:tu unserved w ith
any care the results of the many sim
ilar experiments In other Hritisli citie
will be nt nil surprised to learn that
this particular pluiijro into what a few
years ago would huve been called so
cialism of the most dangerous sort has,
like almost till of Its predescessor.i, end
ed In a success at once brilliant und
complete.
Already the demand for the rlty's
electric service has grown far beyond
the capacity of its original plant, nnd
additions to cost $!e'i,inn are now In
course of erection. Kdinburgh not only
illuminates lis own streets, but sup
plies clectricliv for the lamps und 1110
tois of its citizens. The cost of the
service Is less to a startlimj extent
than It was under the old system,
and it Is constantly decreiisini- ns the
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 it 1 electricians train experlencit
nnd confidence. The increased demand
is the direct cutis. -iiueiiee of this reduc
tion in price, and, although the limit
of cheapness must be reached sooner
or later. It Is nol by any means yet in
sight.
In December of last year Kdin
btir::h's dynamos were forced to work
up lo tln-lr full capacity, and any
breakdown would have had serious
consequences, ns there were no spare
machines on which to fall back. There
fore, It was determined to prevent a
repetition of this risk by building a
new and improved power Ionise suf
ficiently large to supply from X.Oihi to
ii.nuti horse-power. This Is now nearly
completed, anil before the season of
greatest consumption arrives the city
expects to be aide tu meet every reiiil
sitbui that may be made upon its plant.
At present the city, besides lighting
Its own highways, supplies electricity
for the equivalent of 7n.nnu eigbt-ciiu-dle-powi-r
lamps used by private in
illvl'lur Is. and It is fullv expected the
number will be over Mi.noo before the
in 1 of the year. The prospects are
therefore extremely promising, espe
cially when one remembers that the
iindet tnkiiur Is si ill in Its second year.
Hecntlv the price to consumers was
reduced from Pd to fid per unit, or Pi
per cent., nnd yet there is every rea
son to believe Unit next year fin- finan
cial result to the city will be even bet
ter tbnn It hns boon.
The cities nf Civnt lirltiiln nre far In
ndvnnce of those in this country ns t-o-intrds
this uiutilcipnll.-'ntl.in of the pub
lic franchises. Dozens of tin in now
make tlii'lr own ,t:is and run lln-lr
own street cars, nnd In every case
Ihe Innovation h.ns jiistlll"d every rea
sonable hope.
