Within the last 20 years the number
of American and English female phy-

creased from 20 to 220.
A manufactory of spurious Brazilian

Paris and has resulted in the arrest of
six forgers, including Horace Urbain
Massard, son of the engraver of the
same name.
A credulous woman in Cincinnati,
suffering from rheumatism, went to a

advance, promising a certain relief
from her ailment, and then skipped.
She was cured of her faith.

City authorities of St. Petersburg
have resolved to raise a loan of $11,-
84i>,000 for the purpose of rebuilding,
repairing and improving the buildings,
streets, bridges, quays and pavements
of the city by the year 1903, when the j notuir
two hundredth anniversary of the per c'
foundation of St. Petersburg will be
celebrated.
Divorce records for the court year j
just closed at Cleveland indicate that j
one of every five marriages there is so 1
complete a failure as to lead to the ex-

ing the year ended June 30 last was
3,235, and the number of divorce peti-
tions filed in the same time was 646.
It is not stated how many of the peti-
tions were granted.
How to suppress needless noises has
now become a serious problem in our

to these sounds. Many patient moth- j feet on capital; that aims to he free

I'mcelci'd.
Mr. Henry D. Lloyd, who has re-
cently returned from New Zealand,
and is now writing a book about it,
call <t the "World's Experiment Sta-
tion." in social science, the liberals of
New Zealand, who have for several
years controlled the government, have
acted on the fundamental principles:
First, that all legislation should be
in the interest of the pimple as a
whole, and not in the interest of any
class as against the whole; and, sec-
ond, that large amounts of property
in few hands are contrary to the pub-
lic interest.
They have made it a definite pur-
pose that there should he no million-
aires and 110 paupers in the country.
And they have succeeded so well that
the movement toward concentration
of wealth, which was in full swing
some years ago, has ceased to exist as
a factor in national life, and the tide
lias been turned towai*d wealth dif-
fusion and the enrichment of the en-
tire community.
Here follow at length the land laws
of New Zealand, with the following
summing up of results:
The net results have been the dif-
fusion of wealth, elevation of labor,
purification of government, substan-
tial freedom from the evils ot private
monopoly, wonderful prosperity and
the turning of the tide of population
from the city to the country. The
holdings of land have increased sixty
per cent, while the population lias
risen twenty-one per cent. Instead of
one man in four being a holder of
farming land, as was the case ten
years ago, one man in every two 13
now such a holder. The employment
agencies, co-operative public works,
national railways, telegraphs, land
laws, progressive taxation of incomes,
the eight-hour day and compulsory ar-
bitration have done much for the
elevation of labor and the equalization
of wealth.
Better industrial conditions, civil
service reforms, woman suffrage and
direct nomination by the voters have
gone far toward achieving a really
honest and efficient government by
and for the people; a government that
legislates for man and not for the dol-
lar; that judges the desirability of
laws by their effect on the great body
of the people rather than by their ef
capable of gratitude to Mr. Hanna
and Mr. Hanna's man. They wouldn't
give up a cent from considerations of
gratitude. But they will disgorge for
their own protection. Fusion vic-
tory means trouble for the trusts and
woe for the tariff barons. It means
that the leeches who have fattened
upon the life blood of American in-
dustry will be choked off. The leeches
know it. Mr. Hanna, therefore, will
conduct his fat-frying in the usual
fashion. He may have, more difficulty
this year than in 1896, but he will in
the end extract the needed fat from
the adipose tissue of the barons. The
"slush fund" will attain its usual pro-
portions not because of the gratitude,
but because of the fears of the men
who have profited, by McKinleyism.—

Like thg Frcnch, the Chinese have
but twoifeguk^raeiils in the day, one
;at 8 cu 10 irf'the morning, the other
at 5 or K. There are numerous dain-
ties on the table, which are eaten with
the chop sticks, and tea is the bever-
age. The Chinese sometimes make
their tea in teapots, much as we do,
but they also frequently make it sep-
aiately, directly in each cup, throwing
in a few leaves and pouring on them
the boiling water. The cups, which are
as large as our breakfast cups, are pro-
vided v.-ith lids, which are left on
while the tea is brewing. Pipes are
smoked at intervals during the meal.

"AN IDEAL AMERICAN."
"Roosevelt is an ideal American-
he will arouse enthusiasm and sweep
the country from ocean to ocean,"
said a leading Republican on the stree;
corner the other day. The standing
of the speaker and the confident tone
of ihe man rather quieted the little
knot of listeners, till one of them
meekly said:
"I reckon lie is ideal, but just how,
in what way is he an ideal American?"
"Why — why — lie—is—a—manly—
! man;' a manly—man—just what Amer-
icans admire."
"Oh, yes," said another, "and his
; name is Teddy plain Teddy."

MIUTARISM IN MANILA.
If there is any city wherein . the
civilian is made aware of his two-by-
fourness that city is Manila. The sol-
dier is all of it. The lowliest sentry
holding down a street corner at night
rejoices in an authority which is abso-
lute. He is the master of nil who
come his way. The plain, undecorated
trader and the humble tourist must
take orders without parleying or go
slap-bang into the guardhouse.
The martial law was: "Everybody
under cover at 10:30." Anyone found
in the street after that hour had to beg
off or be locked up.
I11 the daytime the shoulder straps
held dominion. If you were a civilian
every second lieutenant looked down
at you. In the hotel lobbies, at the
restaurants and on the street corners
—white duck, gold braid and khaki.
The man who couldn't talk army and
navy "shop" regarded himself as an
interloper and had to admit his pitia-
ble ignorance. When he met the mili-
tary men he was made to recognize
the fact that they were talking down
to him.
Suggestion—If you have an opin-
ionated friend who believes that he is
a person of some importance and is
entitled to respectful consideration; if
he is accustomed to treat his fellow
men with easy and patronizing famil-
iarity, send him to Manila. In Manila
he will be a civilian, nothing more. A
civilian may be an American, an Eng-
lishman. a Chinaman, a Tagalo or a
Spaniard, but he cannot escape the
withering fact that he is a civilian.
He lias been a civilian all his life
without knowing the unwovthness of
it. In Manila the second lieutenants,
the ensigns and the volunteer captains
will bring him to a realization of his
utter cheapness. They will prove to
him that lie is of the same relative im-
portance as the hackman at the wed-
ding or the charity boy at the barn
raising. He is present, and that's all
you can say for him.
If you have a friend who thinks su-
premely well of himself, by all means
send him to Manila and let him learn
the way of humbleness.
I would rather be almost any old
thing in Chicago than be a civilian in
Manila.—George Ade in Chicago Rec-
ord.
Roosevelt Too Strenuous.
We feel sure that our immature
friend, Roosevelt, is doing his party a
lot of injury by his reckless charges
against the men who are not going to
vote for Mr. McKinley and himself.
It is the one thing to call Aguinaldo's
men a race of savages, but it is anoth-
er thing to characterize all Demo-
crats as cowards. The strenuous Ted-
dy will be summarily "hauled down"
by his "papa" if he doesn't look out.

DRIVING OUT CAPITAL.
On a large island a mob of cattte
might be setft; scattered variously
among them stood farm buiUXngs—
the cosy residence of the proprietor,
the IMS pretentious abodes of his ser-
vants, the stables and yards, the great
milking shed, the barns, and all else
that bespoke prosperity for the owner.
Here teams of laboring bullocks panted
before the plough; there troops of
milch kine yielded their precious fluid
to the milkers; yonder were calves fat-
tening for the market.
The cattle were, however, out of
temper. They complained of the yoke
and whip in the field; of the life being
drained out of them for the last drop
of milk exhausted nature would se-
crete; of the slaughter of their young
ones; of the fences that shut them out
from the fields they had plowed and
fertilized; and they came to the con-
clusion that prosperity for them and
prosperity for. the owner were two very
different things.
Under this impression they became
restive, and some declined to be
milked, others jumped or broke down
the fences, whilst a few, instead of
marching obediently to be yoked, low-
ered their horns ominously.
The proprietor, as soon as he saw
this, took fright, and, running as fast
as he could to the shore of the island,
jumped into a boat and grasped the
oars.
At the same moment the cattle stood
still with alarm.
"See what you have done with your
folly," exclaimed one trembling old
cow to the rest of the herd. "You are
driving Capital out of the country!"
At these words all quaked with hor-
ror and set up a piteous bellow. The
proprietor, recognizing the sound and
perceiving thereby what thorough cows
he had to deal with, came back and
told them if they were very good he
would not be frightened away, but
would stay there and milk, drive and
slaughter them as long as ever they
liked. They mooed gratefully, and at
once fell over each other in their anx-
iety to get to the milking sheds, the
yokes, and the shambles.—"327," in the
N. S. W. Worker.

A horse will live twenty-five days
without solid food, merely drinking

while a viper can exist for ten months
without food. A serpent in confine-

for twonty-one months.

Rhllng "Hike" In Sea Bottom.
Daniel M. Nllloch, an American
diver, undertook to ride a bicycle at
the bottom of the sea a few years ago.
In his heavy diving dress, weighing
over 200 pounds, he was lowered into
twenty feet of water, and rode the ma-
chine for a considerable distance.

In England a sort of special palace
car has been built for doss. Each dog
will have a species of loose box con-

gienic principles, provided with run-

ceptacles and even thick and velvety
mats to lie down upon, while plate-
glass windows will allow them to ad-
mire the landscape.

threatened with typhoid fever and
smallpox. The claims for miles along
the shore are taken, and for miles in-
land on the tundra. Even those who
took in great stores of provision and
miner's supplies, with a view to trade,
find the stock so large and competition
so keen that they cannot sell their
goods even at cost. The appeal is now
made for medical officers and for gov-
ernment transports to bring homo
those whose funds are exhausted. It

Wendell Phillips proclaimed the true

It is this:
Trust the people—the wise and the
ignorant, the good and the bad—with
the gravest questions, and in the end
you educate the race; while you se-
cure, not perfect institutions, not
necessarily good ones, but the best in-
sti lit ions possible while human nature
is the basis and the only material to
build with. Men are educated and the
state uplifted by allowing all—every-
one—to broach all their mistakes and
errors. The community that will not
protect its humblest, most ignorant
and most hated member in the free
utterance of his opinions, 110 matter
how false or hateful, is only a gang

The Republican Ranking Trust.
Here are some questions upon which
the laboring man will do well to pon-
der before voting for a continuation
of the present administration.
It is a well known fact that the
power in private or corporate hands
to control the money tor a people is
the power practically to enslave them.
This power has been given by the
Republican party into the hands of
the banks. Moreover, the Republican
party, represented by the administra-
tion, has practically formed a gigantic
bank trust that possesses power to is-
sue two-thirds of all the paper money
of this country.
You are not to get your money from
your government, but from the mil-
lionaires and the private bankers as
they may see fit to issue it to you.
These millionaires forming the
banking trust can contract and ex-
pand the currency at will. They can
give you much or as little as they may
desire. You are not under a govern-
ment by the many, but under a gov-
ernment by the few. The Republican
government, represented by Mr.
Hanna, Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Mc-
Kinley, thus delegates its power for
rule and ruin to private parties.
How do you like the prospect?—
Chicago American.
Roosevelt, on Northern Soldiers.
Some time since a publishing house
paid Roosevelt for writing the "Life of
Thomas H. Benton." We quote from
page 38 of that book what follows.
Roosevelt there says:
"The decline of the militant spirit In
the north was much to be regretted.
To it is due the undoubted inferiority
of the northern compared with the
southern soldier. . . . The militant
spirit, of these last stood them in good
stead in the civil war. The world has
never seen as good soldiers as those
who followed Lee; and Lee will him-
self rank as without any exception the
very greatest of all the great captains
that the English speaking people have
brought forth."—Ft. Madison Demo-
crat.
This century is saturated with com-
mercialism and materialism. It Is of
no use for the preacher to preach
Jesus on Sunday and have his mem-
bers go and pick pockets on Monday.
The biggest thieves to-day are mem-
bers of Christian churches. Those who
organize big deals or big steals are
pious deacons and church members.
If the preacher were to speak out they
would fire him quicker than scat—he
would lose his job.—Rev. Chas. A.
Eaton.
Mr, Rockefeller says that God gave
him his property. . If that lie so It was
very unkind in (lod to take away
from him recently three million dol-
lars worth of that property by means
of one stroke of lightning.
