Original Penn Charter. The original copy of the charter bearing the signature and real of Wil liam Penn, granting "the rights and privileges of a commonweaun to tho freemen of the State < f Pennsyl vania," is now one of the most valued documents in the collection of George C. Thomas, head of the Drexel bank ing house in Philadelphia. The docu ment consists of two sheets of parch ment, in good state of preservation.

America's Most Successful F ailing—lnaccuracy By Dr. K. K. Funk, Lexicographer and Publisher. .4.*£**#$m£ENERALLY speaking, the innccuracy of Americans is note jS# ******* worthy in almost every branch of life. We are not a rnnthe (l matical people. We "guess" at things—the length of p. building, the date *?■££**■*** of an evcDt ' tlle duration of a war. We 'hay "it was about so #♦#> long," "about such and such a date," "about so many days," instead of giving the exact date. American children are brought up to believe the uselessness of exact ness. They form quicker Impressions than the European children. They have general ideas of a thousand and one things, but few of them can give an exact statement of facts about anything. Our home and social life and school training are responsible for this. Even our business training seldom recognizes the necessity of accuracy in matters outside the ledger and cash book. Just the reverse of all this one finds in Germany, France and England. But we have our compensation for this innccuracy—a benefit that we pay for, to be sure, but still a benefit. We are a nation of executives—we act where others plan; we do what others explain how to do. The foremost excuse made for our inaccuracy is our lack of time. We are obliged to accomplish in months what it requires years for the Europeans to finish. Here it is required that everything be done quickly. We arc said to jump at conclusions. Possibly we do, but we arrive at re sults quickly, and generally with sufficient accuracy for all practical pur poses. We often jump over de.talls in these quick methods of arriving at re sults. We make use of a practical method in the field rather than waste time over a theoretical method In the office. Practical results are what are demanded, and when everything is considered there are surprisingly few failures. We are first of all successful, and success Is what counts. Our men of suc cess are usually not the slow, grinding fellows, but the men with ideas, who hire other men to work out the details. They are not the men who spend their time in offices making beautiful blue-prints, but arc those who get out and build the bridges, erect the buildings and drill the tunnels. JZ? JZ? J27 The Philosophy of Naughtiness 4,4vt-AAAA4|f has long been recognized that defective moral control Is apt £T** t0 occur in association with those disorders of intellect which I "Tj are ordinarily recognized as Idiocy, imbecility, or insanity, and fy A W no one doubts the morbid nature of the moral defect in these cases. Whether it be regarded as dependent upon the intellectual failure or not, it Is clearly part and parcel of the malady, and according to our conception of the processes going on in dis order of mind, so will be our conception of the associated disorder of the moral sense. If the one bo regarded as due to disease or imperfection of brain tissue, so also will the other. There are children who lie and steal without reason, are cruel to ani mals, are dangerous to leave with other children lest they should injure them, and who commit the same misdemeanor time after time within a few hours after punishment, notwithstanding that they may have been greatly affected by the punishment at the time; yet these children may show no sign of intellectual deficiency. Surely the defect of moral control in such cases, whatever be its cause, is of the same nature as that so frequently seen in case's of obvious intellectual deficiency. But Dr. Still goes further and shows that defect of moral control, while sometimes per manent, may be only temporary, in some cases passing away after an out burst, never to return, while in others periods of defective moral control may alternate with periods in which no such defect is present. In regard to the more temporary attacks of moral defects, modern pathology by its teaching in regard to toxins would seem to give much support to the meth ods of the old schoolmaster who said that when he found a boy incorrigibly naughty lie had recourse to Gregory powder; while in regard to the geueral scheme of education to bo adopted in the case of naughty children one can but feel, in view of the marvelous improvement which is produced in tiie intellectual faculties by early and judicious teaching, that perhaps an equally careful training of that residuum of moral control which is still to be found iu all, might rescue some of those passionate, spiteful, lawless, shameless children, whose condition is allied to moral imbecility, from the sad future that is before them. JZ? JZ? Wealth-Worship is a Char acter-Crushing Calamity By Edwin Markham. E smile complacently at the Hottentot whose pride is centred :.V j|j in the tawdry ring he wears in ids nose, yet how much are ip sa we raised above this savage, we who prostrate ourselves he v v fore the minted gold of the millionaire? In our absurd money- JB worship, we have reached a stage where a golden c-alf, instead 0 f royal eagle, might well be the symbol of our National spirit. We are holding the Alinightly Dollar so close to our eyes that we are ob scuring Almighty God. In our old catechism we were asked, "What is the chief end of man?" The up-to-date reply would be, "The chief end of man is to glorify Gold and to enjoy it forever." The corrupting influence of unprincipled wealth was not unknown in the days of antiquity. The Bible speaks of the men in whose right hands ure iniquities, and in whose left arc bribes. It is related that the Delphic oracle, in response to a request of Fhilip of Maccdon for advice, uttered these words: "Make coin thy weapon, and thou wilt conquer all." We know that l'hilip boasted of carrying more for tificatlons by lnouey than by arms, saying that a golden key would open any gate, and that a mule ladeu with silver could find entrance through auy pass. The giving of bribes Is, perhaps, not the worst feature of the policy of the money power of to-day. The chief evil, nowadays, lies in the well-nigh universal fawning and cowering before wealth, in the blind scramble foi fortune or favor. We are taught to act a part, when we should embody a principle. We stoop over and walk on all fours, when we should stand erect, remembering the stars above us. Many of the hangers-on of the millionaire are mere fawners and flatterers seeking to push tlicir way into the social swim. Other classes who bend at his feet are working people, who are dependent on him for food and shelter. The mortal bnne In all this money worship, this toadyism and timeserv ing, is the effect it has on the soul of the toady and timeserver. It calls his attentiou away from the real and the permanent iu life to the false and the fleeting. It robs him of the idea that character is the chief glory of man. Character is the one thing whose foundations go down to the world's granite; and when to character we add culture, we come into an inheritance more durable than time and richer than the kingdoms of tills world.—Success. & JS? Fortunes Made In Tips. By John Gilmer Speed. N some restaurants In New York the waiters put all their tips sr.; '■** tfa in a box and divide equally. That is a very general plan iu ® T s Paris, I believe. As a rule, in this country, however, what S- A each gets is his own. In one cafe with three distinct sets of S{? patrons the tipping is so constant that the waiters serving there ® pay handsomely for the privilege. There Is, however, but one such place, I think. At another well-patronized place some of the waiters have served many years. I talked with one of these the other day. He said he had kept accounts of his tips for twenty years. The lowest on rec ord was SSOO, the highest 91800, while the average was SI3OO. This means that in tips this worthy man had taken in about $3.30 a day during twenty years. I was quite prepared to have him tell me that he had educated one of his sons, putting him through college and the law school. This nran was German. It probably never occurred to him that there was anything de basing in taking a tip. And for him there was nothing debasing in it. He lived and acted in harmony with the sphere of life into which -he was born. That was all. But it would be an entirely different thing for his son, this beneficiary of tips, to receive one. He is an American, and must take fees only. For his father's sake, as well as big own, I hope his fees will he large.—Lip plucott LABOR WORLD. January the Order of Railroad Telegraphers lias enrolled 4723 new members. The International Order of Railway Conductors is very strongly opposed to sympathetic strikes. Philadelphia blacksmiths have won their strike for a nine-hour day with out reduction of wages. Fifty new unions, with over 10.000 ! members, have been organized in Chi ; eago the past six weeks. New and stringent regulation of child labor is about to be enforced by j the German Government. About 7000 cigarmakers of Manila have gone on strike. They demand a material increase in wages. The saleswomen of San Francisco have organized a large and enthusias tic union and elected officers. Beginning with July, nil employes of the city parks at Omaha, Neb., will receive an increase in wages. Riots in the coal fields arc laid to a secret society of foreigners within the United Mine Workers* organization. The Coaehdrivers' Union at Trenton has forbidden Sunday funerals, wed dings and christenings after Septem ber 7. A gravediggers* union at Chicago held up the burial of the dead in one of the public cemeteries pending the settlement of a wage question. The serious industrial unrest which has for a long time been manifest in Russia has already led to dangerous and disastrous disturbances iu the southern part of that empire, and also to some riots in the northern provinces. The strike of the cotton mill opera tives at Augusta, Ga., which was looked upon as a test of the strength of the United Textile Workers of America in the South, was declared off by the Executive Committee of that body. The mills secured so much help that it was impossible for the strikers to win. When Brass Becomes Brittle. It is a curious fact mat common brass whicn is subjected for some time to constant tension occasionally undergoes a remarkable change.

Peruna is surely a wonderful remedy for catarrhal affections. J. D. Botkin. This is .a case of catarrh of the stomach which had run for twenty-five years, ac cording to his statement, and Peruna has at once come to his relief, promptly plishing for him more benefit than be hac. been able to find in all other remedies dur ing a quarter of a century. It stands to reason that a man of wealth and influence, like a Congressman of the great United States, has left no ordinary means untried and np stone unturned to find a cure. If such cures as these do not verify the claim not only that dyspepsia is due to ca tarrh of the stomach, hut also that Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach, it is im possible to imagine how any evidence could do so. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
