HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Great Britain may institute radical reforms in her army to please Japan. Vladivostok rebels have driven out the Cossacks and enforced an armed truce. The annual report of the Philippine commission shows the island to be in good condition. General Chaffee has retired as chief of staff of the army. He is succeeded by John C. Bates. Many bodies are being recovered from the wreck of the Valencia which are not being identified. Fire destroyed an entire block in the city of Panama. The loss will reach $500,000, with very little insurance. Cossacks in Siberia after an armed conflict with rebels threw over 1,300 into Lake Baikal through holes in the ice. Fire broke out in the transport Meade at San Francisco. Three lives were lost. The property damage will not be great. The First United States infantry has sailed from New York for the Philippines. The troops will go by way of the Suez canal. It has just been given out that for the past four years the Equitable Life Insurance society has insured free the lives of its 900 employees for $1,000 each. Frederick has been proclaimed king of Denmark. A suit has been started in Nebraska to break up a combine of fire insurance men. King Frederick, of Denmark, will work for an alliance with Norway and Sweden. A high official in Tiffis, Russia, has been blown to pieces by a revolutionary bomb. The net earnings of the United States Steel corporation in 1905 total nearly $120,000,000. Shonts says he canceled the Markel contract for hotels on the canal zone because there was too great a graft. In an address to the New York Medical association Grover Cleveland appeared to the doctors to cast off mystery and talk in plain English. The National Livestock association and the American Stockgrowers' association have been consolidated. The new organization will be known as the National Livestock association. Gifford Pinchott, chief of the Forestry bureau, after a conference with leading cattle and horse growers of Colorado, has devised a plan which he hopes will end range wars in that state. The Postal Progress league, at its annual meeting in Boston, declared in favor of consolidation of third and fourth class mail matter at the third class rate, 1 cent for two ounces. This would reduce general merchandise rates 50 per cent. The health of Governor Pattison, of Ohio, is failing. Reinhold Sadlecr, ex-governor of Nevada, is dead. The Poston & Maine railroad has increased the wages of its employees 7 per cent. John D. Rockefeller is in hiding to avoid giving testimony at the Missouri hearing. The house committee on mines and mining favors giving each state a government geologist. General Wheeler was buried with full military honors in the Arlington national cemetery. Jerome has commenced an investigation of the business of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company. Governor Magoon, who has just been arrived in Washington from the canal defends the management of affairs. The Standard Oil company is preparing to leave Illinois. A suit to oust the company is about to be commenced. The National Livestock association and the American Cattlegrowers' association have perfected plans for the consolidation of the two organizatoins. Representative Sulzer, of New York, has a bill which provides a salary of $100,000 per year for the president and upon the retirement from office shall receive a salary of $25,000 per year for the remainder of his life. Dowie will turn over all his property to uphold Zion City. New Age MINERS WILL STRIKE Every Mine in Country To Be Tied Up Till Better Pay is Secured. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb 2.—The rejection of the counter proposition offered by the coal operators of the central competitive district by an almost unanimous vote of the National convention of the United Mineworkers, and the adoption of a resolution offered by Secretary Ryan, of Illinois, placing the miners on record as a unit in refusing to sign an agreement for any district until an agreement was signed for all districts under the jurisdiction of the United Mineworkers, has created a situation which, in the opinion of the officials of the miners' organization, will result in the disruption of the joint agreement and probably one of the greatest strikes of organized labor the country has ever known. Immediately after the rejection of the operators' proposition the convention set about to provide means for accumulating a strike fund of $6,000,000 in addition to a like amount now on deposit in the international, district and sub-district treasuries of the miners' organizations. To provide an emergency Secretary Wilson moved that a per capita tax of $1 a week be voted and that all districts take care of the dependent miners within their jurisdiction tor at least six weeks. He said that after that time he believed the international organization would be in a position to take care of the miners. After the motion had been amended to substitute ten weeks for six as the time during which the districts should care for their dependents, the matter was referred to the international executive board with power to act. RIOTS AT CHURCHES. Catholics Resist Entrance by Officers of French Republic. Paris, Feb. 2. — Everywhere in France the actual putting into operation of the clause of church and state separation bill which provides for the making of inventories of the property of the churches has aroused a storm of protest. In several provincial parishes Catholics have gathered in the churches and made such strong resistance that the government commissioners were unable to enter the edifices. In Paris today violent scenes took place in several churches, notably that of St. Clothilde. An inventory of the property of the church of St. Roche has not yet been made, owing to the opposition of the congregation, but the defenders of the church of St. Clothilde succumbed before the assault of an armed force which acted on the avowed intention of the government to use every means at its disposal to compel obedience to the enactment. In the chamber of deputies this afternoon Premier Rouvier replied to an interpellation on the subject by a Socialist deputy. The government, however, secured a vote of confidence by 384 against 166, after the premier had assured the chamber that the government was desirous of using tact and moderation in carrying out the law, but that it was fully determined to perform its duty, no matter what the cost. A dispatch from Dijon says fresh disturbances broke cut today in front of the church of St. Michael. The square was closed only after the free use of fire hose and the efforts of mounted gendarmes. Many arrests were made. TURN LIGHT ON HARRIMAN Democrats Propose an Inquiry Into Southern Pacific Combination. Washington, Feb. 2.—The Post will say tomorrow: The minority members of the house committee on Pacific railroads got together and agreed upon a plan of action through which they hope to throw the searchlight upon an alleged combine of the Southern Pacific and its tributaries, which they assert is on all fours with the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, and Southern in the East. A resolution will be introduced in the house requiring the president to transmit to congress all information that may be in the possession of the Interstate Commerce commission or any other division of any department of the government bearing upon the alleged fact that the Southern Pacific Railway company is the holding company of the Union Pacific, the O. R. & N. Co. and the Oregon Short Line. Gale Breaks Up King David. Victoria, Feb. 2. — The steamer Queen City, which reached Clayoquot today, reported that the British ship King David, which was wrecked on Bajo reef December 13, and abandoned by her crew while standing high and dry at low water on the reef, broke up during the gale on Monday, January 23, when the steamer Valencia was wrecked. Captain Davidson and crew, excepting the chief officer and eight men, who were lost when going to Cape Beale, to seek assistance were saved by the Queen City. Let People Elect Them. Columbus, O., Feb. 2.—The house today adopted the senate joint resolution on urging congress to submit a constitutional amendment providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Thursday, February 1 Washington, Feb. 1.—The discussion of the railroad rate bill was taken up and prosecuted with vigor throughout the day. So many speakers have come to the front on this measure that the house agreed to meet at 11 o'clock hereafter until the debate is ended. The feature of the debate was the lengthy speech of Sibley, of Pennsylvania, who arraigned the legislation with arguments of varied character, all of which tended to give his reasons for being unalterably opposed to the bill. The resolution of Burton, of Ohio, looking to the preservation of Niagara Falls, was agreed to without discussion. The resolution calls for information from the International commission on that subject. Washington, Feb. 1.—The senate today passed 30 or 40 miscellaneous bills and gave several hours to the consideration of the shipping bill. Among the bills passed was one providing for a delegate in congress from Alaska and a number providing for light houses, revenue cutters and fish culture stations. The greater part of the time devoted to the shipping bill was consumed by Penrose in a speech in support of the measure. Other bills passed provide for a fog signal station at Edly's Hook light station; Washington; construction of one more fish cultural station on Puget sound, and for a tender for the light house service in Hawaii. Wednesday, January 31. Washington, Jan. 31.—Discussion of the railroad rate bill continued in the house today. Incident to it two speeches, the efforts of Campbell, of Kansas, and Martin, of South Dakota, took a wide range and swept the horizon of "trust evils" generally. Bartlett, of Georgia, a minority member of the committee reporting the bill, made a two hours' speech, in which he discussed the legal and constitutional questions involved and advocated the passage of the bill as a proper remedy for an intolerable condition. The first speech in opposition to the bill, which concluded the day's discussion, was made by Perkins, of New York. He based his opposition to government control of rates on an inherent aversion to government control of business enterprises. Red tape and fixed conditions, he said were an inseparable part of government action on any matter. A bill was passed granting a Federal charter to the Carnegie fund for the advancement of teaching. The fund consists of $10,000,000, the income of which is to furnish pensions to retired educators. Washington, Jan. 31.—In the senate today Patterson strongly endorsed the position of the president in Santo Domingo and in the matter of the Moroccan conference. He said that he was sorry to differ from his Democratic colleagues, but that he felt it is duty to do so in these matters. He also expressed absolute confidence in the patriotism of the president and in his good faith in announcing his determination not again to be a candidate for the presidency. The remainder of the session was devoted to a debate on the shipping bill. Tuesday, January 30 Washington, Jan. 30. — Members of the house evinced a more general interest in the discussion of the railroad rate bill throughout today than in any other topic of legislation for some time. The debate throughout was listened to attentively and many questions were asked of the different speakers to bring out either obscure points in the measure, or evils complained of, which no attempt had been made to include in the bill. The debate was opened by Townsend, of Michigan. Adams, of Georgia, representing the minority, followed in commendation of the measure, and in praise of President Roosevelt's stand on the question. Hinshaw, of Nebraska, depicted the benefit the legislation would do to the great trans-Mississippi country, and Richardson, of Alabama, discussed as a Democrat things done and left undone in the measure. The senate today passed 40 bills, many of them of considerable importance. The list included a number of measures for light houses, for signals, revenue cutters and public buildings, and also the bill providing for the reorganization of the consular service. The chipping bill was under consid- The shipping bill was under consid. Offers to Build Railroads Washington, Jan 31.—Willard Reed Green, of New York, representing a syndicate of capitalists and contractors, has filed a bid with the War department for the construction of the proposed system of railways in the Philippines. Mr. Green and his associates contend that there has been no competition, and that the matter is still open, although the department has practically accepted a part of one of the bids. The bid presented by Mr. Green proposes the construction of a minimum of 1,000 miles of railroad. NO. 41. eration for a time. It was amended so as to relieve it of constitutional objections and Lodge delivered a speech in support of the bill, in which he gave the details of a combination of the owners of foreign sailing vessels for the purpose of controlling the freight rate in grain shipments from the United States. There was also a discussion of the bills making common carriers liable for injuries to employees, which arose over the question of their reference to committees. Patterson gave notice of a speech tomorrow on the Moroccan and Dominican questions. Monday. January 29. Washington, Jan. 29. — The Chinese boycott and the administration of the forest reserves divided the attention of the senate today. The Chinese question came up in connection with a resolution of Tillman, directing an investigation by the committee on immigration. Tillman modified the resolution by omitting the major portion of the preamble, and, after considerable discussion, it was referred to the committee on contingent expenses. Heyburn raised the question regarding the reservation of forests. He sharply criticized the methods of the Forestry bureau and charged it with maintaining a press bureau for the purpose of attacking him. He declined, however, to hold the president responsible for this course. He said that the course was calculated to retard the development of the West. Washington, Jan. 29. —What is considered a strike at the railroads was taken by the house today in the adoption of a resolution calling on the president to furnish information as to the existence of an agreement, in violation of the interstate commerce law, among the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk & Western, Chesapeake & Ohio, Ohio & Northern Central and Philadelphia, Baltimore & Washington railroad companies. Opposition to the resolution did not develop until after it had been declared adopted by the speaker. At this point Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, moved to reconsider. This motion was laid on the table with the aid of 37 Republican votes united with the Democrats, under a rule which makes it impossible to reconsider the resolution without a two-thirds vote of this house. Saturday. January 27. Washington, Jan. 27. — In a session of two hours today the house passed the urgent deficiency appropriation bill, carrying $15,216,103, incorporated in which is a provision that the eight-hour law shall not apply to alien laborers on the Panama canal. In addition it passed 262 private pension bills and read the Mann general bridge bill, making it the unfinished business for Monday. Chairman Hephburn today reported to the house his railroad rate bill with the favorable recommendation of the entire committee. The bill will come up next week. Friday, Jan. 26. Washington, Jan. 26.—The first attempt at filibustering during this session occurred in the house today on a Democratic endeavor to deaf the provision of the urgent deficiency bill waiving the eight-hour law for foreign laborers on the Panama canal. The amendment was placed in the bill in committee of the whole after the house had divided many times on every pretext which Williams could make the cause for a vote. When the bill was finally finished, late in the day, a demand for a separate vote and roll-call on that amendment was made and ordered, at which time the house adjourned. The vote will occur tomorrow. The amendment was ruled out of the bill on a point of order on Tuesday, and its insertion today was effected under the provisions of a special rule brought in from the rules committee for the purpose. The only other controversy of the day resulted from an attempt to increase by $115,000 the amount for meat inspection by the department of Agriculture. This increase was refused after an animated debate. Washington, Feb. 1.—The monthly statement of the public debt issued today shows that the debt less cash in the treasury amounts to $991,524,646, which is a decrease for the month of $3,345,072. Light on Boycott. Washington, Jan. 31 —The senate will begin the week with the consideration of the Chinese boycott. The question will come up in connection with a resolution offered last week by Senator Tillman, directing the committee on immigration to investigate the reports concerning Chinese opposition to American manufactures. When the question was presented Mr. Tillman asked for immediate consideration, but Mr. Aldrich objected. It is understood that he and other Republican senators dislike the preamble to the resolution. Topics of the Times All the world loves a lover—loves to josh him, that is. Why is it that the higher prices an author gets, the poorer stories he writes? To obtain real parlor-like football, future contests might be referred to The Hague tribunal. Now that the chorus girls have formed a union, will the "Johnnies" have to combine for protection? The Russians are inventive enough to discover the merits of the universal strike as a political weapon. If a Congressman wants to appear peculiar, he will not introduce a single bill to regulate railway rates. In selecting his future "young partners" Carnegie should remember that boys will sometimes be old boys. In his capacity as a physician Dr. Osler seems to have been present at an alarming number of death beds. It is rather doubtful whether the double-headed eagle or the red flag is the present national standard of Russia. It has been nearly a century since a Russian Czar said to an English diplomat: "There is a sick man in Europe;" and Turkey is still alive. By abolishing free transportation the railroads will sidetrack some politicians who are deadheads in more than one sense. Mr. Root has an idea that the consular service could be used to better advantage than as a refuge for played-out politicians. A statement of the steps to be taken to prevent a recurrence of slugging at Annapolis, under the "code," would be grateful to the public. Only twenty boys were killed and 205 badly maimed in the recent football season, yet there are some people who think the rules ought to be reformed. While the gift made for President Roosevelt is the first gold heart Colorado has ever given, she has in times past distributed quite an assortment of marble hearts to other statesmen. There is a Kalogeropoulous in the new Greek cabinet. Probably he is a cousin, several syllables removed, of the celebrated James J. Pappatheodorokomountourgeotopoulous of Chicago. The hazers must go, and the sooner they go the better it will be for everybody but the hazers. It will not make much difference to the world what happens to them after they are put out. It was something of a shock to hear that a man who could earn Jimmie Hyde's enormous salary in the insurance business was not regarded as having the intellectual equipment needful for an ambassador. --- Dr. Osler, late of Baltimore and now regius professor of medicine at Oxford, appeared on the same platform with Mr. Joseph Chamberlain recently. According to the professor's pet theory Joseph ought to have been asphyxiated some thirty years ago. The announcement that Columbia University has decided to abolish football after this year will cause the football world to sit up straight in astonishment. It demonstrates better than anything else the degree to which public condemnation of the game as now played has gone. Well may the advocates of the gridiron game cry aloud, "Reform, reform or we perish!" Bad water is said to kill more soldiers than are slain by bullets, and it is not improbable that if statistics were obtainable they would show that more sailors perish in accident of one kind of another—including shipwreck than are lost in battle. Disasters like that which overtook the Benington are by no means rare and their victims aggregate a great number of men. When the hazards of the sea are added to the peril of explosion of magazines and steam boilers the sailor takes almost as many chances in peace as in war. All over the United States men are talking of graft and grafting and grafters. They don't have to explain what they mean; everybody know. Webster may be ignorant of the words, in the new American use which makes them so useful; the Century may acknowledge them not; it isn't of the slightest consequence. They are fresh from the people's mind, they were needed, they pass current and they have come to stay. Only the other day the interdenomination conference in New York refused to weaken one of its resolutions by striking out "graft" and putting "dishonesty" in its place. "But it is a slang term," objected Rev. H. H. Oberley of New Jersey. What if it is? A word that "makes good" in the common speech of to-day will be in the dictionaries to-morrow. Wisconsin and California have each established a "legislative reference u- brary," a department of the Legislature in charge of experts in finance, law, economics, history. Its function is to furnish to the legislators impartial information bearing upon any bills, enactments or measures which the lawmakers have under consideration. If a legislative committee is considering a bill, the librarian finds out what has been done in other States and other nations, discovers all the legal relations of the problem, and helps to phrase the bill so that it will work if it becomes law. Thus much blundering, much unnecessary legislation, many evils that result from hasty, inexperienced legislation will be checked. The courts are always struggling with ill-phrased, ambiguous, contradictory laws. Indeed, the judiciary departments waste much time gathering up loose ends left by the legislative bodies. The idea of the reference library is not to interfere with or influence legislation, but to assist it, clarify it, and relate it at its inception to the legal experience of the world which it must encounter later. This work is somewhat like the duties of the British treasury counsel and government draftsmen, to whom bills are submitted for phrasing and collating before they are presented to Parliament for final vote. "Marriage and home ties are detrimental to the artist's work," says the head of the French Academy of Fine Arts. "One must choose between the married and the intellectual life," maintains a woman official of the University of Chicago. There would be no sound if there were no ears to hear, and likewise art and literature would be without value if there was no posterity which had inherited literary and artistic appreciation. Man's work is but half done if he gives only art and no artists, only books and no writers to the world. Intellectual strength and artistic temperament must be perpetuated in blood as well as on paper and canvas. No muse, however alluring, is as powerful to spur a man on to great effort as the clinging dependence and loving faith of wife and children. He works best who works for someone else that loves him. Love is the great source of power throughout all the universe. Harriet Beecher Stowe rocked the crable or made bread between the lines of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," yet it stirred a nation as few books have. What artist may decide that his art has reached the highest point of perfection; that it is the exponent of highest inspiration and greatest possible skill? Mountains do not rise abruptly from the plains. He may be only one of the foothills in a chain, which, if unbroken, will at last blend with the sky. That glorious crown of horticultural art—the American beauty rose—did not bloom in the fullness of its deep-hearted loveliness on the humble parent wild bush. Generations of patient pruning and trimming, of preserving the best and casting out the worst, of combining and thus strengthening the fine qualities, life between the simple, dainty, wild rose and the mature, perfect American Beauty. And the end may not yet be. So it is with men. It took seven generations of ministers to produce an Emerson, and it is written of Raphael's father that he might rank as a great artist had he not been so unfortunate as to have a son who outclassed him. The vital truth is larger than literature and art alone. Goethe sounded the deeper and broader worth of a man when he said: "Whoever has best served his own people in his time, he has lived for all time." Men become immortal through their children more often than through their work. Selecting Volunteers. Whenever the United States has been at war with any other country it has always been a matter for serious complaint on the other side that the Americans take accurate aim before firing—with extremely fatal results. How excellent was the marksmanship of the volunteers on Bunker Hill is a matter of record. There is an interesting entry in the diary of John Harrower, an indentured schoolmaster of Virginia. "Colonel Washington, of this colony," he wrote, "being appointed generalissimo of all the American forces raised and to be raised, made a demand of five hundred riflemen from the fronteers of this colony. But those that insisted on going far exceeded the number wanted, when, in order to avoid giving offense, the Commanding Officer chuse his company by the following method. "He took a board of a foot square, and with chalk drew the shape of a moderate nose in the centre and nailed it up to a tree at one hundred and fifty yards distance and those who came nighest the mark with a single ball was to go. But by the first forty or fifty that fired the nose was all blown out of the board, and by the time his Company was up the whole board had shared the same fate. Hot Shot "Hello!" said the country editor, by way of greeting, "what are you filling that saw for?" "Cause it's dull," retorted the grouchy old farmer; "what'd ye s'pose?" "Ah! do you always file things that are dull?" "Wal, no; I never file that ding-batted paper o' yourn." — Catholic Standard and Times. Why is it that people who say disagreeable things to one's face are called honest, and people who say pleasant things are called flatterers? Not all who think they think have thoughts. THE NEW AGE.

In One County Alone They Will Exceed in Value $10,000,000 seed in value $10,000,000. It is only a few years since the world was looking on at the rush of settlers into the newly opened lands of Oklahoma. No one then dreamed that one country alone of the new territory would produce in 1905 crops in value to exceed $10,000,000. This is the record of Greer county, the southwest county of Oklahoma, for this year. The cotton crop now on board the cars or ready to leave the county is about 65,000 bales, worth $90 a bale. This, with the value of the cotton seed at $16 a ton, amount to $4,120,000. The oat crop is worth fully $3,000,000. The corn and kafir yield is worth another $3,000,000. These leading crops, therefore, exceed in value $10,000,000. Besides these there is half a million bushels of wheat, great quantities of garden truck, cattle, hogs, horses, poultry, dairy products and broom corn. Just as the collection had been taken up by old Deacon Smiff one of the members was observed to be dancing around the pew and wildly pulling his hair. "What am de trouble wid Bruddah Sparks?" whispered the parson. "Frenzied finance, pawson," whispered the deacon; "frenzied finance." "Frenzied finance?" "Sho'.

SUBSCRIPTION, One Year, payable in advance.....$2.00 Some of the officers and workers of the Northwest Sabbath School association, which has just held a convention in Portland, should have lived in New England about two centuries ago, when the "blue laws" were in force, and a man dared not kiss his wife or smile at his baby on Sunday (which by the way is not the "Sabbath' anyway). These "unco guild" people would have laws forcing everybody to observe strictly what their narrow, begged minds interpret to be the "Bible Sabbath"; they would allow no work and no play, but everybody would be compelled, under heavy penalties, perhaps capital punishment, to go to church twice at least on Sunday, contributing liberally each time, and spend the rest of the time looking glum and being miserable and making everybody around them miserable. There would be no Sunday trains or newspapers, or Sunday cooking. Wherever a train or steamship was at 12 (midnight) Saturday there it must stop for 24 hours, even if it resulted in forty collisions and the death of hundreds of people next day. These shallow, silly goody-goody folk protest against Sunday papers, not being competent to understand that the work of making a Sunday paper is almost all done before Sunday begins, and that it is rather the Monday paper, if any, that must be suppressed. So with all their crack-brained Sabatarian theories, they are utterly impracticable and anachronous. The great teacher whom they profess to follow said that "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath," and he did about the same on the Sabbath as on other days. God is revealed in nature all around us rather than in any book, and nature observes no Sabbath or Sunday. Plants grow; the atmosphere circulates; the sun shines; the rain falls, and the birds sing on Sunday as well as on any other day. It is well to observe one day of rest out of seven, for both physical and moral reasons, but Sunday, or the Sabbath, is wholly a man-made institution, and there are quite a-plenty of laws for its observance. It should be free for all who choose to do so to observe it religiously, without molestation or annoyance, but it should also be free to all to make it a day of lawful and decent recreation, or in which to work if necessity requires. If these good people who want to force everybody to their way of thinking and acting had the power, they would be torturing people and putting them to death for not agreeing and acting with them, as was done by their religious predecessors and progenitors centuries ago. They are alive at least two centuries behind their proper time. MORE ABOUT THE PLEDGE. The Evening Journal insists that Republican candidates for the legislature who take the "Pledge No. 1" of the primary nomination law will be in honor and duty obligated to vote for a Democrat if one should receive a higher popular vote than any one Republican candidate, even though the aggregate Republican vote were three or four times the Democratic vote. For example, suppose 100,000 votes are cast for the legislative ticket next June, and Mr. Gearin should receive 30,000 of them, a probably liberal estimate for a Democrat, and the 70,000 Republican votes should be divided among three or four candidates, the highest one of whom should receive only 29,000 votes; then, according to the Journal, it would be the bounden duty of all the Republicans in the leg- islature, even though 80 out of the 90 members of that body should be Republicans, to vote for Mr. Gearin. It is true that a strict construction of the law would require this of members signing the pledge, but we do not believe that this was intended by the framers of the law; if it was, the pledge should not be given. If there is any political office that of United States senator is one, and if this state is Republican by a majority of 50,000, or 40,000, or even less, and if it elects a large majority of Republicans to the legislature, as will no doubt be the case, then it is manifestly ridiculous, and not in accordance with the expressed will of the people, that these Republicans should elect a Democrat, even a personally good, able and popular man like Mr. Gearin, to the senate. The only reasonable way for candidates to do, if they give this pledge, is to do so with a condition attached, namely, that they will vote for the man of their own party receiving the highest popular vote. This is what the law should have provided. It would be well, also, to reserve the right to vote for either one of two or three candidates receiving nearly an equal number of votes. The people should not ask or expect members of the legislature to tie themselves up so absolutely on this proposition as they would, under this interpretation of the law, by giving this pledge. LYNCHINGS IN MISSISSIPPI. Governor Vardaman of Mississippi has in some instances done what he could to prevent lynchings of Negroes in that state, and in one or two cases has done so, but that his rancorous and extreme contempt for and malignant hatred of the Negro race, in any other capacity except that of slaves, so often and virulently expressed in public, has done more to induce lynchings than his efforts in certain cases have to prevent them, is to be inferred from the fact that 20 Negroes were lynched in Mississippi in 1905, as against 18 in 1904. Not only were a score of colored men thus savagely murdered in that state last year, but only two of them were alleged to be guilty of the crime for which some Southerners claim that lynching is justifiable and the only preventive. When people get in the habit of lynching men on account of their race and color, rather than on account of the enormity of the crime charged—that is, when they become imbued with the idea that a colored man's life is no more sacred, under any circumstances, than that of a lower animal—then they will lynch a "nigger" for almost any crime, or even on suspicion of having committed a crime. It is professed by Negrophobic Southern papers that lynching of colored men is resorted to only in cases of their assaults on white women, but it appears that in Mississippi last year 18 out of the 20 lynched were not charged with that offense at all. As the Indianapolis Star remarks: "Governor Vardaman hates Negroes and does not try to conceal his hatred of them. He charges that they are of such a low order of creation that it is actually a menace to educate them ever so slightly. Is it not possible that the constant preaching of this view by the chief executive of the state has had the effect of embittering many minds against the Negro and has resulted in this ghastly array of unwarranted murders, unwarranted even by the rule of Southern chivalry? Is it not possible that the leaders of the mobs that have put to death Negroes for ordinary crimes have accepted the Vardaman view that the Negro is a blot in the creative plan and one that should be erased wherever possible? It looks as though Vardaman's chickens were coming home to roost." TILLMAN TO BE HONORED The chief guest of honor and principal speaker at an annual blowout of the Democrats of New York City is to be Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina, commonly called "Pitchfork" Tillman. To thus single out this ruffian for preferment and honor, and to sit at his feet to learn democratic doctrine, is evidence of the evil and rotten character, politi- THE NEW AGE. PORTLAND. OREGON. cally, if not otherwise, of the New York Democrats who invited and will listen to him. It is an unnecessary insult not only to every colored person in the country, but to reasonable white people too. These Democrats profess to be in sympathy to a large extent with President Roosevelt, but they thus take pains to publicly honor and applaud a man who has outrageously slandered and viely attacked the president. Tillman is a confessed anarchist and criminal in intent for he has openly advocated the lynching of colored men, and he has brazenly and with the blustering of the swashbuckler that he is, defied the constitution and laws of the United States. He is a big cowardly bully of much the same type as his nephew who armed himself and murdered an editor who had criticized him, giving his victim no chance for his life. If the New York Tammany society of Democrats and rascals—for most of them are such—can get no better type of Democrat to honor and listen to, it should forthwith lose what little respect, if any, anybody ever had for it. NEGROES ON THE ISTHMUS. We are not disposed to place implicit credence in the report of conditions on the Isthmus of Panama by Poultney Bigelow, who seems to love notoriety too well to confine himself always to facts, but that there was a good deal more truth in his representations than the government would acknowledge may well be believed, and in some respects he has been confirmed by other observers and investigators. One thing appears to be clear, that the Negro laborers there are not very well provided for from a sanitary point of view, are underpaid, and are mistreated in other ways. The fault for this cannot, at least at first, be laid upon the president or Secretary Taft, for they cannot know in detail all that is done and much depends largely on subordinates; but, if as appears to be the case, colored laborers are paid only $1 a day, being required to work ten hours, in that stifling, unhealthy climate; if their pay is often in arrears so that they cannot provide themselves with necessaries, and if they are huddled together in swampy, unsanitary quarters, the government ought frankly to acknowledge that conditions down there have not been just right and lose no time in remedying them. These men are entitled to fair pay, especially when a horde of do-littles or do-nothings are drawing fat salaries, and to decent treatment otherwise. PROPOSED NEW LAWS. There is likely to be a big muddle and lots of expensive and exasperating litigation if the two proposed laws for amending the assessment and taxation laws are adopted next June, and since some voters will prefer one law and some the other, the only safe course to pursue is to vote against them both and so avoid no end of trouble, although there are doubtless some good features in both bills. Some other petitions for new laws are in circulation, and a part of them at least appear to be good changes, but where so many proposed new laws are submitted, the average voter will not know much about them, and perhaps will care less, and so it may be apprehended that most, if not all, of them will be rejected, which may be best, for then on another occasion perhaps the reformers will concentrate their efforts more and not try to reform the laws too much at a time. There is also the woman suffrage constitutional amendment to be voted on, and as women are divided on the proposition, many good women opposing, as well as many favoring it, there is no reasonable ground for expectation that the result will be different from what it has been on two former occasions. Several Eastern papers have complimented Senator Fulton on the able and well-considered speech he made in the senate a few days ago on the rate bill, it having attracted a good deal of attention and showing much ability and a thorough consideration of his subject. In all but politics—and in many cases this does not cut much figure—Senators Fulton and Gearin make a good team. * * * Mr. A. A. Bailey and Mr. G. M. Orton, both connected with "the art preservative of arts," having served in the lower house, now seek to become state senators. They are men of experience and, so far as we know, good records—but doubtless there will be other candidates. They should be carefully chosen. Mr. Benson, a Southern Oregon lawyer, is circulating among the voters in the interest of his candidacy for secretary of state. His friends claim that he is a very competent man, and will make a strong race, but he will have to do some hustling to beat a Salem man, or perhaps one from Portland. It is naturally supposed that the candidacy of Lachner and Rand, of Baker City, not to mention Aitkin of Huntington, in Baker county, will somewhat impair the chances of Mr. Johns, candidate for governor, and if so it is believed that Professor Withycombe will be the chief beneficiary. *** It is conceded generally that Professor J. H. Ackerman has made a very good superintendent of public instruction, but a good many prominent teachers, some of whom, perhaps, have an eye on the office themselves, are intimating that two terms are enough. Mr. J. P. Kavanagh has been mentioned as a candidate for representative in this district, but if he is well advised he will conclude to let that office go to Eastern Oregon, partly in order that a Multnomah county man may be elected to the senate. Up in Baker City some of the papers allude to the latest candidate for congress as "Jawn" Rand, but this may be only an orthographic evidence of affection. Still Judge Webster fails to speak out and let some anxious people know whether he has made up his mind, and if so, to what. * * * Some candidates for the legislature are signing the pledge, but it is not to be inferred that they do so on account of Mr. Jonathan Bourne's argument and appeal. * * * Young Mr. Galloway, of Yamhill county, is a bright young man, but the people of the First district will elect a Republican next June. The governor of Oregon is visiting the state for a few days—or hours. A good many people are wondering what really good work Inspector Bruin has done to earn his salary. At least Mayor Lane, on the approp- lation ordinance, seems to have a horse on the council. If Professor Hawley should be elected to congress, he could preach if the house desired a sermon. VIEW IRRIGATION WORK. Henny Coming to Study Yakima and Malheur Projects. Washington, Jan. 31.—D. C. Henny, in charge of government reclamation work in Oregon and Washington, returned today from Holland, and will spend several days in conference with department officials before going West. While here he will probably take up with Director Walcott the proposition of Senator Fulton that the Malheur project be remodeled to irrigate only those lands not entangled in the wagon road grant or railroad right of way. When he leaves here, Mr. Henny will go first to the Yakima valley to ascertain what progress has been made since he left, then to Portland. Senator Gearin today asked the Reclamation service to make an investigation of an irrigation project in Crook county which it is hoped might utilize the water of the Deschutes river to reclaim about 1,000 acres. Mr. Walcott told the senator there is no money available for further work in Oregon at this time, and will not be for several years to come. For that reason he did not deem it advisable to authorize new investigations at this time. VIENNA MODEL BAKERY 390 Morrison St. FISHER & MILLER, Props.

Station is excited over the announced return of the Pollard Australian Liliputian Opera company, which appears at the Empire for two weeks, starting next Sunday matinee. The opening bill Sunday will be "The Belle of New York." This organization is remarkable in its ability to present in a perfect manner a score of bright and pleasing operas. Composed of youngsters the company is a distinct novelty, but in no way is it amateurish. It is strictly professional in every detail, and the children are as familiar with their business as though they had been upon the stage 30 years. The principals as well as the chorus are talented youngsters and they present an ensemble which cannot be surpassed by organizations containing performers twice or thrice the age of the Pollards.

Miller, of 3640 Wabash avenue, is seriously ill. A meeting of the Illinois state league will be held in this city in the near future. The Pekin theater, owned by Robert T. Motts, was several days ago slightly damaged by fire. George H. Snowden, of the Third ward, has been appointed messenger in the subtreasury office in Chicago. Mrs. S. S. Paul, a prominent woman, died here last Thursday under an operation for appendicitis at Provident hospital. Rev. E. H. Jones, pastor of M. E. Zion church, corner Thirtieth and Dearborn street, is making a great success of his work. A meeting will be held in this city next week for the purpose of organizing the National A. M. E.

A movement has been started to call a national conference of colored farmers to meet at Boston, Mass., July 5, 1906, for the purpose of organizing a national association of colored farmers. All colored men who are engaged in farming are invited to be present. At the Masonic conference that was held in this city a few weeks ago, representatives were present from several states. A series of resolutions were adopted denouncing Rev. W. Gray, H. W. Knight and John C. Coleman, of Chicago, as expelled Macs and Mason impostors who are sailing under a false flag. And they notified all the craft to keep a lookout for them. CAUCASUS GIVING UP. People in Thousands Submit to Government's Demands. St. Peterburg, Jan. 31.—Alarmed by the vigorous campaign waged by the troops under General Alikhanoff, the inhabitants of the Caucasus are abandoning the revolutionist cause. They are coming in by thousands to make submission, and are giving the most abject promises of good conduct in the future. In many cases the inhabitants themselves have seized and delivered up the ringleaders of the insurrection. In a telegram to the emperor, Count von Vorontzoff Dashkoff, viceroy of the Caucasus, says General Alikhanoff received one deputation of 8.000 persons, representing 12 communes, near Kwirili. The deputation, which was headed by nobles and clergymen, promised to stop the disorders, to return all property and arms seized and to pay all arrears of rents and taxes if the general would not punish their people. Another deputation brought in the participants in the attack on the troops at Tengira bound with ropes. In the district of Osurgeti, however, the viceroy says, the entire population remains obdurate. One half the people have fled to the mountains and others are roaming the country, ravaging it and burning houses. Oust Trust from New Jersey. Trenton, N.

The worst rebels in a state are those who rob it of its manhood. If you would please the pigs you must wanow in the trough. A bright boy soon learns that business demands beerless brains. Voting for the saloon is the surest way of setting a trap for your own sons. A man needs a headlight on his nose when he is making a record run to ruin. You do not keep the wolf from the door by setting the serpent on the hearth. A vote for the saloon is either an indorsement or a confession of allegiance. It takes a good many water wagons to lay the dust that one brewer's dray can raise. It's the first glass that puts the devil's halter on you; after that he finds it easy driving. The spirits you put in your mouth will not raise your spirits when you are down in the mouth. The man who could quit drinking if he would soon becomes the one who would if only he could. It's no use for the choir to sing temperance songs if their discords are enough to drive men to drink. The boy who never enters a saloon may miss a little experience, but he escapes a whole lot of heartache. When the devil begins to talk to you about "being a good fellow" it is well to ask him to show you a few of his samples. ORDER MEAL BY PICTURE. Men Unfamiliar with Spanish Surprised at Waiter's Interpretation. Former State Senator W. T. McGraw, while at Torreon, Mexico, looking after his mining interests, came to the conclusion that he would like a steak and mushrooms. With Harry B. Bennett of Detroit, Mr. McGraw stepped into a restaurant. He tried his limited Spanish and Bennett added his store of knowledge of the language, but neither could make the waiter understand. "Why don't you take a pencil and make a picture of what you want?" asked Bennett. "A good idea," replied the former Senator. "I never thought of that, Bennett; that head of yours is a good one." Taking a pencil from his pocket, Mr. McGraw produced an envelope, and with great care drew the outlines of a cow. To be sure that the waiter would understand the kind of animal intended in the picture Mr. McGraw added the regulation Texas horns; then he carefully drew the picture of a mushroom. At this the waiter's countenance was aglow with intelligence and he smiled and bowed to the Americano, nodded his head vigorously and disappeared. McGraw and Bennett smoked their cigarettes in contentment. "That was a happy thought of yours, Bennett," remarked McGraw. "Hereafter when I am in a foreign country and can not dig up enough of the language to make myself understood I will draw upon my ability as a cartoonist. That idea is a winner." Bennett smiled at the praise bestowed upon his ingenuity and both grew more hungry. "Humph," growled McGraw. "I guess that Mexican has gone to a ranch to get that animal." "Perhaps he is looking for a cow with horns long enough to meet the requirements of your specifications," suggested Bennett with a grin. "You nedn't make fun of my drawing," bridled McGraw. "Wasn't it plain enough? "Oh, certainly, certainly," replied Bennett soothingly. "But here comes our waiter." The Mexican, all smiles and perspiration and almost out of breath from the unheard-of feat of really hustling, entered the restaurant, and with an air of triumph laid down a ticket to the bullfight and—an umbrella. Bennett roared and McGraw paid for the articles, with an American exclamation under his mustache. At another restaurant they secured a plain steak—Detroit Free Press. A. Wifely Hint. "Marla, can't you leave a little something to eat where I can find it when I come home late at night? I hate to go to bed hungry." "John Henry, can't you leave a little money around where I can find it after you get away in the morning?" —Cleveland Plain Decker.

PORTLAND. OREGON. It Came Upon the Midnight Clear. It came upon the midnight clo That glorious song of old. From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; "Peace on the earth, good will to men From Heaven's all-gracious King." The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurl'd. And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. But with the woes of sin and strife The world has suffer'd long; Beneath the angel-strain have roll'd Two thousand years of wrong; And man, at war with man, hears not The loves-song which they bring. Oh! hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing! And ye, beneath life's crushing load Whose forms are bending low, Who toll along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing. Oh! rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing! For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendens fling. And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing! —Edmund H. Sears. Good-By, Sweet Day. Good-by, sweet day, good-by! I have so loved thee, but I cannot hold thee. Departing like a dream the shadows fold thee; Slowly thy perfect beauty fades away; Good-by, sweet day! Good-by, sweet day, good-by! Dear were thy golden hours of tranquil splendor, Sadly thou yieldest to the evening tender Who wert so fair from thy first morning ray; Good-by, sweet day! Good-by, sweet day, good-by! Thy glow and charm, thy smiles and tones and glances, Vanish at last, and solemn night advances; Ah, couldst thou yet a little longer stay! Good-by, sweet day! THE VERY FIRST MATCH. John Walker, an English Drooggl, Was the Inventor in 1827. In the nineteenth century—the century in which so many wonderful things were done—the fourth step in the development of the match was taken. In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, it nevertheless was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. After the invention of the easily lighted phosphorus match there was no longer use for the dip-splint or the strike-a-light. The old methods of getting a blaze were gradually laid aside and forgotten. The first phosphorus matches were sold at 25 cents a block—a block containing 144 matches—and they were used by but few. Now a hundred matches can be bought for a cent. It is said that in the United we use about 150,000,000 matches a year. This, on an average, is about five matches a day for every person.—St Nicholas. "What are you doing now?" "I'm putting a new patent safety razor on the market." "Good thing?" "Well, it's the kind of a razor that impels the man who shaves with it to go back to the regular shop again—and the professional barbers pay me a handsome salary for introducing it." —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Great Patience. "If patience is a virtue, Lopher is one of the most virtuous men on earth." "Got lots of patience, eh?" "Yes, he's been sitting around for at least ten years, waiting for work." ST.

LEADING HOTELS FIRST-CLASS FIREPROOF $3.00 PER DAY --- Francis Lewis, signer of the Declaration of Independence, was born in Llandaff, Wales, and educated in the city of London. On coming of age he at once embarked to the American colonies, establishing himself in a commercial business in New York. JOHN WILLIAM HENRY At the time when the colonies were in a state of unrest and war seemed the inevitable solution of the difficulty and FRANCIS LEWIS. the difficulties and wrongs of the colonists, Lewis, although aware of the fact that war was certain to wreck his business and to endanger his personal interests, at once threw his lot with that of the revolutionists. He aided their deliberations with his good business judgment. He freely distributed his money to aid their cause. His own house at Whitestone, Long Island, was burned by the British and his wife imprisoned in the city. Lewis was one of the first to join the Sons of Liberty. He was a member of the New York committee in the first Continental Congress and served on several advisory bodies. He was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was commissioner of the board of admiralty and held several important and honorary offices under the new government. He was a man whose opinion was held in such value by his townsmen that to his influence and example was due the loyalty of many a citizen of New York.

Raymond, Chief Justice of the United States Court of Appeals of Indian Territory, was a factory hand ut Onarga, ill., at 90 cents a day, twenty-five years ago. He resolved to become a lawyer, and made application to Henry A. Butzow, the county clerk of his county, for employment. The clerk wrote him that at that time he did not need any further assistance, but that the future might bring a demand for additional help. He closed his letter as follows: "Our work is adding, adding, adding, all day long. Did you ever try it?" Young Raymond was equal to the occasion, and answered the clerk on a postal card, as follows: "No, I have never tried adding, adding, adding, all day long, but I can try, try, try, and I won't fall."—Success Magazine.

"Oh, that is all right," he said. "Just indorse it as it is written there." She took the check, and after much hesitation, said, "I don't think I can make an M like that." Airy Fiction.

Honesty is one of the leading principles taught in the public schools, and the teachers begin early to impress the value of this trait in character on the minds of the youngest pupils. A South Chicago teacher had a pupil who gave her much sorrow by his unfortunate habit of fibbing on every possible occasion. One day she kept him after school and gave him a serious "talking to." "Just look at the life of George Washington," she said, "he couldn't tell a lie." "Huh," remarked the unregenerate youth, "what was the matter with him?" A Sore Spot. "Woodby tells me he has been working on his family tree of late." "Yes, it seems to keep him pretty busy." "Rather complicated work, eh?". "Yes; I believe he discovered a hangman's noose on one of the branches and he's having some trouble sawing it off." -Philadelphia Press.

CONSUMPTION RHEUMATISM BODY RACKED WITH PAIN No other bodily suffering is equal to that produced by the pain of Rheumatism. When the poisons and acids, which cause this disease, become intrenched in the blood there is hardly any part of the body that is not affected. The muscles become sore and drawn, the nerves twitch and sting, the joints inflame and swell, the bones ache, every movement is one of agony, and the entire body is racked with pain. Rheumatism is brought on by indigestion, stomach troubles, torpid Liver, weak Kidneys and a general inactive state of the system. The refuse matter instead of passing off through nature's avenues is left to sour and form uric acid, and other acrid poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Rheumatism does not affect with health-giving properties, it fills them with the acids and salts of this painful and far-reaching disease. The cold and dampness of Winter always impress the pains of Rheumatism, and the sufferer to get relief from the agony, rubs the affected parts with liniments, oils, lotions, etc., or uses plasters and other home remedies.

THE $WIF Books Written in Prison. A publisher was talking about Oscar Wilde's strange book, "De Profundis," with its pathetic decoration of a bird beating its wings against the bars of a cell. "Wilde's is not the first good book to have been written in jail," he said. "Jail, in fact, seems to be a good place to write books in. Literary men surpass themselves there. "John Bunny wrote 'Pilgrim's Progress' in jail. "Cervantes wrote 'Don Quixote' in prison. "Defoe laid the plans for 'Robinson Crusoe' during a term of confinement imposed on him for the writing of a pamphlet called 'The Shortest Way with the Dissenters.'" Dr. P. I. T.

"Silvio Pellico and Tasso both did their best work in jail." Losses From Insect Pests. C. L. Marlatt, of the Department of Agriculture in Washington, has prepared a statement as to the loss by insect pests in the United States each year. He notes that the losses each year in all the plant products of the soil, both in the growing and in the stored state, together with those in live stock, exceed the entire expenditure of the national government., including the pension roll and the maintenance of the army and the navy. Placing the value of these products at $5,000,000,000, per year, he notes an annual shrinkage due to insect pests of fully 10 per cent—in many cases of 50 per cent; but at 10 per cent, $500,000,000 is "the minimum yearly tax which insects levy upon the products of the farm." This does not include loss to farm products in storage, $100,000,000; or to natural forest and food products, also $100,000,000; making a total annual loss of $700,000,000 directly traceable to insect pests. — From W.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

When this tube is inflamed you have a humming sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is taken out and this tube is retoated to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, an inflamed condition of their mucous surfaces.

It was agreed, says the Washington Post, that when either said "I've enough" the fight should cease. After they had been at it about ten minutes one of them fell, and immediately yelled, "Enough, I've enough!" But his opponent kept on pounding him until a man who was watching them said: "Why don't you let him up? He says he's got enough." "I know he says so," said the victor, between punches, "but he's such a liar you can't believe a word he says!"

So, too, he thinks that within a decade Canada will outstrip all other countries in wheat growing. In Ontario and Quebec there are immense deposits of magnetite, which have remained undeveloped for lack of cheap fuel. The invention of the electric smelting process removes this obstacle, because in the neighborhood of the ore deposits water power is abundant. The importation of injurious birds and mammals into the United States has been carefully guarded against since the passage of the Lacy act on May 25, 1900. In the five years ending June 30, 1905, the authorities issued 1591 permits for the entry of 1,006,964 birds (chiefly canaries), 2,846 mammals and thirty-eight reptiles, and thirteen permits for the entry of 6,500 eggs of game birds. Of the consignments 402 were inspected. No injurious animal is known to have been admitted, but seven mongoose, fifty-four flying foxes or fruit-eating bats, one kohlmeles, fifteen blaumelsen and two starlings have been refused entry. At Honolulu six keaes were refused entry. Statistics showing the enormous waste of energy involved in the production of artificial light are always interesting, if for no other reason than that they must continually stimulate inventors in the search for better methods. Sir James Dewar recently presented these figures before the Royal Institute of Great Britain: In an ordinary candle the total amount of energy transformed into light is only 2 per cent. Oil and gas lamps are not more economical. The incandescent electric lamp utilizes 3 per cent of the energy expended; the arc light 10 per cent, and the magnesium light 15 per cent. Then comes the glowworm and mocks us with its·90 per cent of expended energy turned into light. The possible value of radium to the physician still remains chiefly a matter of conjecture. Two Italians, Tizzoni and Bongiovanni, have satisfied themselves that it has an important influence upon rabies, and that it may act either upon the virus or directly upon the blitten animal. When the virus is exposed for four to thirty-six hours to radium rays it is converted into a powerful vaccine, injections into a rabbit's eye overcoming the otherwise fatal effects of inoculations with dog's virus. With a powerful specimen of radium, the direct exposures of several hours during six days, animals inoculated forty-eight to one hundred hours before treatment were saved, while similarly inoculated animals not treated all died. It is well known that pure quartz glass possesses the property of transmitting, very abundantly, the so-called chemical rays of light, by means of which photographic effects are produced, and it has often been attempted to make photographic lenses of quartz alone. Unfortunately, quartz also possesses the property of double refraction, so that, unless the opening of the lenses is very narrow, good images are not produced. Recently a French optician, F. Morin, has succeeded in making small photographic lenses of quartz glass in which some of the difficulties have been avoided, and the lenses show great rapidity of action. Still, the problem, confessedly, has not been entirely solved, and the new lenses are recommended by their inventor only for special purposes. Astronomers are particularly desirous to obtain photographic lenses possessing the peculiar permeability to the actinic rays that characterizes quartz. A Lack of Orphans. The Irish duelist who lamented having "as pretty a challenge as ever was penned, but no one to whom to give it," was in the same trouble as the municipality of Paris. The city has a fine orphanage, liberally appointed and with an ample staff, but with no orphans. A Mame. Tamlices left nearly a million and her villa at Orsay to be maintained as an orphanage for girls of the eighth arrondissement. The girls were to be provided with a dowry on leaving. Paris has searched the highways and byways of the district, and but two orphans have been found. Divided on Religion. A curious diversity of religious belief is observable in the family of Lord Stanley of Alderley. The last previous holder of the title, a brother of the present peer, died in the Mussulman faith and was buried according to the rites of Islam. Another brother became a convert to the Roman Catholic faith and is now a domestic prelate to the Pope. One of Lord Stanley's nephews is a Buddhist, and a brother-in-law, now dead, was an atheist. If the human race were built on plans that meet daily requirements, men would have two more legs that they might constantly be kicking themselves, and women would have six more pair of hands that they might keep up with the work the children make around the house. As a town grows older, it becomes more and more expensive for a man to be a satisfactory father. Hand-Pressed Oil of Lemon. "This oil of lemon," said the spice merchant, "is an exquisite thing. It is hand-pressed—pressed by hand out of lemon rind. Smell it." The odor of the clear oil suggested sunlit lemon groves miles in extent on a mountainside overlooking the blue sea. "I'll tell you how the oil of lemon is extracted," he said. "A man sits with a sponge in one hand and a piece of fresh lemon peel in the other. He presses the peel against the sponge, giving it finally a certain difficult and dexterous twist, and this breaks the cells in the rind, and the oil—there's only a half drop of it—comes reluctantly out upon the sponge. "When the sponge has taken up the dribblings of about a hundred rinds, it is wet enough to be squeezed out. It is ounce or so of clear and fragrant oil them flows from it. "There is no way to extract this oil within a lemon rind except by squeezing and twisting the rind by hand. It takes the rinds of about 1,200 lemons to make one pound of oil." "Our English cousins," remarked the woman who has just returned from the land of John Bull, "do not wait until the arrival of Hallowe'en to become interested in the tasty and nutritious nut. I was particularly impressed with their manner of serving cobnuts, which are similar to though larger than our hazelnuts. For lunch-eon or for tea these nuts were quite the most delicious things I ate. They were served fresh and green, with delicious brown bread and butter and a salad made of crisp white lettuce leaves, with a French dressing. Over there these cobnuts come, as a rule, from the neighborhood of Kent. England may be lacking in fruit, but she certainly takes advantage of many of her other products."
