Mr. Stepheens Leacock, writing iu Harper’s Magazine
about the British and the American Tress, saya very truly
that we all Hike our own paper; the one we are used to,
that no man away from home can ever tell what’s going
on because there are different ways of serving up the news,
and we each get used to our own just sa we each get used
to our home cooking and can’t eat iu comfort where the
style of cooking and serving the food is very different. The
English paper, he sayo to*sweat to be wad quietly;
quiet man at peace with the world; while the American
paper is for reading “by a man hanging on to tbe straps
of a clattering subway expfeas, by a man eating at a lunch
counter, by a man standing on one leg, by s man getting a
two-minute abate, or by a man stout to have his teeth
drawn by a dentist.” And we wonder! Is that why our
young people—and old ones too, for that matter—are so
often possessed of only superficial knowledge? It’s to be
doubted whether knowledge caught “oa the fly” can ever
Btnk Vt#jr<j«H»p, or ever be transmuted Into wisdom.

Mr. Burns had standards of his own.
