Andrew Carnegie, resting at Skibo castle, sent out to tho world the announcement that the 'elaborate ceremonies of crown ing England’s king and queen ire a gigantic farce. The famous steel magnate, who ,ias disposed of millions of dal- Inrs in a manner entirely satisfac tory and pleasing to himself, ob ject* to money being spent for 'the pomp and show of the coro nation. It’s a sinful waste of monoy, ho declares. “I, don’t know if there will ever be another coro- ' nation, but I don’t think Eng land will ever stand for such an other foolish displny as this.” ! Very likely the cause of Andy’s strictures on England’s big show is strabismus of the point of Mew, which, is rarely curable in pne past middle life, t What Andy gives away every few days Would finance numbers of coronations, and yet he con siders neither his gifts nor his philanthropies a farce or n waste of money, albeit thby make con- . siderable display. 4 The heaviest cost of the coro nation will fall on the “rich uns” who want to be present and occupy a box, or at least an end seat, and whose costumes, if they can not rival those of the royal ketors in state, can at least out do them in stunningness. It doesn’t cost anything to stand in the street, watch the parade go by, and yell, “Long live the king!”. In fact, It’s great fun. The English people like it, and then it happens only once in a generation. If this sort of show pleases those who scramble to attend, why, of course, it pleases them, and if they have money to shed, why cavil at them preparing to she’d it nowt One kind of show pleases Andy the Generous, while another kind pleases other types of “easy looseners.” There should be no quarrel over questions of taste. Andy intimates strongly that this foolish frivolity will result in abolishing kings- in England. But this intimation^ is only an other symptom of the strabismus. Kings have already been abol ished in England in everything except in name; but it should be remembered that'with a people as conservative as are the Eng- Bllish there is still a great deal in Retrospective and Prospective. President Taft, in his speech to the members of the Commercial Club of Cincinnati on the occa sion of his silver wedding, grfcw both rctrorpacti"3 and profl- oee'lvc. * . lie referred to his twelve years’ absence from his native city, during which his career, for ono of his adipose equipment, had been rather active and vigorous, and spoke also, with what was undoubtedly a sigh of relief, of the time' when he would return thither and resume the practice of law. Taft has alwqys been rather of the judicial than of the execu tive .temperament. It has al ways fitted his personality better calmly to solve the problems of the law than to crack' the heads I of political opponents with the big stick of executive authority. This quality is well illustrated in his speech to the Cincinnatians. “The effect that it has had upon one’s life and character,” he said, in referring to his eventful ca reer, “is something that one real izes fully, but can not explain. Of course, there are others that have had similar experiences, but I venture to say that it is rather exoeptional to include within the limit of a little morn .than a decade that which has happened to me—to go from the somewhat humdrum but always delightful life of a judge. wh6 could retire from public life in any sense without being exposed to criti cism, to a place where there seemed to be nothing but criti cism, but criticism was a change that only a man who has been thru it can fully understand. Whatever fault thero has been witl] Taft ns president has been i the result of this quality: Of his sincerity, of his unswerving hoh- esty, and of his high aims and purposes tho nation has never had any doubt. Bilt in national controversies he has' inclined to play tha role of judge rather than that of leader. Of late, however, the criticisms to which he referred and the dis appointments that havo been his lot have caused him to drop tp a great egtqnt the passive attitude and to. assume the part of tho fighter. The growing of tho new dispo sition is attested by his policy with reference to the Canadian reciprocity bill, which has indeed been vigorous and aggressive. Ho forced the fighting on it, and as a result success will undoubtedly crown his efforts. The nation, regardless of party, has for President Taft on the occasion of his silver wedding tho heartiest good wishes, in fact, feelings of genuine affection. The Opening of the Remedial Loan Bank. The opening of the anti-loan shark bank, organized several weeks ago by a number of pa triotic citizens, under tho aus pices of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, tho attended with no fuss and feathers, nevertheless marks an important event in the city’* progress. For years the loan shark evil has flourished and grown great in Atlanta, causing untold suf fering and countless acts of cruelty and injustice. Thousands of the city’s workers*have been caught in the toils, to their own sorrow and to the detriment of the city’s business and industrial advancement. The new bank, while surround ing itself with all necessary safeguards against imposition, now offers a remedy for the evil and relief for any worthy worker who finds a short-time loan a ne cessity. Atlanta is to be congrat ulated on the opening of the new institution. One June coronation will prove mere expensive than all the Jans weddings everywhere throughout the world. so much about Is something like the scarcity of gold In the pockets of or dinary cltisens? “Weeks defends woolen company.” The name of this congressman will And Itself exceedingly lengthened bsfore he will be able to convince the American people that the wool trust le a benevo lent and philanthropic Institution. ALL HE COULD SEE WAS GLOOM (Copyright, toil, by 'Star Company.) UNCLE WALT * 'philosopher THE BUSINESS DOCTOR (By ROE FULKERSON “You are badly In need of a resurrectionist." .said tho Business Doc tor. “You don't know what I mean? This resurrectionist l» a now fac tor In retail work, and gets hie somber title not because he Is a grave robber, but because he pulls dead ac counts out of the ledger and brings them to life. “In going over these old ledgers of yours I have come across doxens and dozens of accounts which were once active, but have been closed for a year or two. What became of those people? I see that your gross profit la 26 per cent and that many of these accounts averaged 260 per month, so that If you revived just eight of Them In a year you could afford to pay a man 11,200 a year for the work. A man devoting his time to this work could, without tho slightest doubt, res urrect eight of them a month Instead of a year. “But this part of his work Is the least part Tre Resurrectionist keeps a regular account of the average ex- R endltures of your customers, and when e finds the average of any account running down. It Is hla business to . stir up that trade again. "There Is nothing complicated about his methods. It's a plain, straight. from-the-shoulder proposition. If an account has been running 260 a month and suddenly drops off. It shows that this particular family have a grievance of some Sort; he puts on his hat and goes to the house with the plain, unvarnished statement that ho noticed a falling off In their trade and that the house values their business, and he came to see If there was any reason tor the slump. Before he leaves the house he reopens that account Ho must And cut the cause of the trouble and rectify It. It makes no difference whose fault It Is. It doesn’t matter tlh slightest bit to him that the fault Is not tho fault of hlg house. He Is' there for that account and he knows exactly what It IS worth, and so he knows exactly what he can stand to aquaro the auetomer, and will lose a month's profit without hatting an eyelash! “Of course In many case* the customer had Just cause for a kick, and thru theae kicks the Resurrectionist baa corrected many detects In the store management, delivery systems and manners of salesmen, for a store defect which will cause a cuatofner to quit dealing with the houee Is one that must be corrected Instanter. “Put a man to work on these ledgers of yours and And out why theae people quit you. It Is true that where an account has been dead for a year It’s almost a certain thing that ‘rigor mortis’ has set In and It can never be brought to life; but there Is nothing more Important to your bualneaa welfare than to know why these people quit you.

A thorough knowledge of "Elwcll on Bridge Whist" never helped a stenographer to a promotion and aided her education In any way. One of the greatest deterrents to education la the fact that It takes the attendant at the library about ten times as long to bring a book as It takes the waiter In the rathskeller to bring a beer. • ■ ending June 16, os reported • • Manufacturers Record: The Virginia Land and Growth and Progress Of the New South Bv JOSEPH B'.

The roses and the lilies have had a heap of praise from bards and other willies, in prose and soulful lays. The lilies and the roses are surely good as wheat, and in their graceful poses they’simply can’t be beat. And then the ROSES AND lovely daisy appeals to every soul, and stirs the poet lazy to write a rigmarole. The violet, so THINGS modest, deep in the shady dell, would stir a bard of sawdust, and make him dance and yell. Oh, all the blooming flowers that make their grandstand plays, about the garden bowers and in tho woodland ways, are splen did in their beauty; they’re Nature’s diadem; it’s surely no one’s duty, I say, to knock on them. In summer dawns I greet them; they fill mo with delight; but when I come to eat then they do not tqste just 'right. You seek them and pursue them, their fragrance is so sweet; but when you start to chew them, they knock you oil your feet. Their flavor’s always flatter than tjiat of low-grade chalk; the onion, in this matter, call beat the rose a block. Had I the pen of Bunyap I’d write a corking book about the humble onion, that solace to the cook. The gaudy rose can beat it at putting on the style, but when ypu come to eat it, it leads by half a mile. WALT MASON.

Daily Health Chat BY Alt ATLANTA PHYSICIAN. THE LEFT-HANDED CHILD. Of theories to explain, ieft-hand.<l ness there are many; but perhaps the most generally accepted one Is that In most persons the portion of the brain controlling tho right arm Is mors high ly developed than Bte portion contrail Ing the loft; but that In left-handed pontons the comparative development ? f the two sides, of the brain Is re- ersed, so that the part responsible for the left arm Is best developed. Inas- mpeh os most of the nerves passing from the brain to the body cross at the back of the brain, wa know, of course, that the left side of the brain Is con nected with the right elde of the body and vice versa. Lombroao held that left-handedness was more common In criminals than in non-crlmlnal per’ sons, but this belief has been quee tlonsd. We can not attribute left handednoaa tb tha affect of artificial modea of life, because now and then monkeys are found to be left-handed. "A Berlin physician," says a leading medical contemporary, "has recently Studied 18,000 children of the Berlin common schools from this point of view. To control so many cases he made use of a circular letter addressed to the parents, who were requested to designate which hand the child used for writing, eating, playing, working, etc.; also, the presence 6r absence of any hereditary element, whether the child alept on the left or right side or back, and whether the condition de veloped during tho school ags. It was found that over 05 per cent of children were right-handed, the girls having a slight superiority in this respect. Less than 6 per cent were therefore left handed; There were but 27 ambldex ters In the entire number (0.21 per cent). Direct or collateral ancestry of left-handed children shows that about one case In three has an hereditary element Tho statistical evidence shows very plainly that right-handed children tend to sleep on tho right side, and left-handed children on the left side. "There Is no evldenoe that a left handed child la In any # way handi capped )n regard to ability to earn his living, altho It Is something of A hard ship for him to learn right-handed writing. The watchword of the day la not to antagonize left-handedness, but to develop left culture In the right- handed and right culture In the left- handed, or relative ambidexterity.” WINNOWED WITTICISMS The Minute Men.
