And then forget me forever. 1 am not worthy to be remembered." CABINETJVMNISTERS Three Hebrews Who Have Been Thus Honored. IN PRUSSIA, FRANCE, HERE A Trinity Composed of Dernburg, Picquart and Straus. ITS EDUCATIONAL RESULTS In the Three Countries Referred to According to the View of Mr. Simoh Wolf. Mr. Simon Wold belns asked by a Star reporter as to the recent elevation of prominent Hebrews to places of political power and its effect said: "If any one, twelve months ago, had foretold that in Prussia a Jew woulJ' be minister of the colonies; that Dreyfus would be restored and even promoted; that Col. Plcquart would be minister of war, and that Oscar S. Straus would be Secretary of Commerce and. Labor, he would have been looked upon as demented. And yet, all of these things have happened within that ivu, ?uu IIIC wunu inu>t-a un iiaaquiuj', perfectly content, being inspired with the feeling of kinship for the ideal and truthful, which has made It poesiWe for civilization to maintain its status throughout the world. "I am sure that the bones of the Great Frederick would rattle in his coffin, were they to be made conscious of the fact that a Jew was elevated to be minister of a great department, although Frederick said that "every faith should be happy within the borders of Prussia,' yet there is not an instance where they were recognized officially or in military circles. It was reserved for the strenuous Emperor William to cast aside all prejudice and recognize in the man he selected, merit and capacity, , and authorize him to cleanse the Augean stable, which had become a diegrace and scandal to Germany. < In France. "France, which at one time stood at the ' very pinnacle to universal acclaim in its liberality and republican spirit, toppled , over, and for a brief period the friends of humanity and liberty bowed their heads 1 In sorrow upon hearing the name of France. But It was only a spasm, fortunately, and I soon the good sense and loyalty to high < Ideals that had marked the career of France prevailed, and Dreyfus, the victim of con- ' spiracy and vile persecution, was acquitted ' and, not only promoted, but decorated on the very spot where he had been degraded, ' and his loyal friend, the gallant Col. Pic- ' quart, who, because he had defended the / innocent and espoused the cause of the , righteous, was degraded and driven from the service that he had so grandly adorned, j has not only been restored, but has been , made minister of the war department. "And so. In this country, where for the I first time In Its history, a Jew is placed In < the cabinet?Oscar S. Straus?It is plain and manifest that the President, Theodore I Roosevelt, who had already recognized 1 other faiths that are guaranteed inalien- , able rights under our institutions, saw the 1 Justice and fairness of appointing a de- ' scendent of that faith which has so vastly ' contributed to the upbuilding and uniflca- , tlon of mankind. Anil there is nothing re- 1 markable after all that an American citizen of Jewish faith should be deemed worthy of being a counsellor in the affairs of this republic. From the earliest date to the present, they have, in peace and war, contributed their brawn and brain to the i end that this republic should be and continue to be the haven of the persecuted. 1 and a home for happy men and women. < Mr. Straus brings to this position, ability of the most eminent character?an Americanism that cannot be questioned. While ' he is a Jew by faith, in every element of public duty he will have but one chart to ; be guided by, and that is his official oath, for the best interests of the republic. Its Educational Besults. 1 "And are these manifestations to go down into history without educational result? < Is this evolution and revolution, political, moral and religious, to be simply a news- ] paper Item, or is it to be recognized as the impelling force of the divine spirit that always, sooner or later, comes to the res- ' cue and makes nations and individuals re- ] sponsible for their acts? May it not be < possible that Russia?unfortunate Russia? that has for centuries been in all of Its political and moral life Siberian in its scope and in its hope?may it not be possible that Itussia, seeing this evolution of modern thought, seeing three great countries with which she is on terms of amity recognizing that element of its citizenship which she so cruelly persecuted?may at last have its eyes opened to the dawn of a new and grander civilization and become, indeed, a hotbed of revolution, not in blood, not in looting, but a revolution in the interest of peace and harmony and good will to all men." The Logical Young Lady. Sir Mortimer Durand, at a dinner at Lenox, said of a certain unkind action: ' "It was a logical action. There was K reason behind it. But to be slmnlv loelcal 1 and reasonable In our treatment of others 3 is not enough. A certain amount of kind- . ness, of unselfishness, must be thrown In " or otherwise we are cruel. 3 "I hfard of a reasonable, but cruel, young ? lady the other day. A young man pro- * posed to her and met with a flat rejection. " He seemed hurt and offended, and at this # she expressed surprise. 2 " 'But,' said the young man In a low, reproachful voice, 'why did you encourage me flj If you didn't love me?" 1 4 '* 'FnonnrflCP Vftn ?' nrtprt th? vnutier Indv 'How did I encourage you?" Sj ' 'The entire summer.' he replied, 'you accepted all my lnvita.tlons to go automobiling.' " "Oh." she answered, logically enough, 'that was not because I loved you?it was because I loved automobiling.' " Mosquitoes and Colors. From the Baltimore Sun. Sufferers from mosquitoes will welcome the information supplied in a recent consular report as to the prefer- ^ ences mosquitoes have for certain colors. They alight on dark fabrics In preference to light ones in the proportion of about 3 to 1. As long ago as 1841 Spence found a white coat better for the wearer than a black one where mosquitoes are abundant. In Madagascar Joly observed that they like to alight on a dark soil and black shoes, wearers of black stockings being their favorite victims. The natives of Madagascar suspend black cloth from the ceilings- of their houxus in order to divert the mosquitoes from | themselves. Galll-Valerio, the Italian mosquito expert, confirms the statement ~ that light colors are to be preferred for clothing in malarial regions. s Not Honorable Enough. Lady Walrond, the wife of Gen. Sir Wil- F 11am Walrond, M. P., described, at a dinner party In Boston the life of a maid of ^ honor. "Ono of my friends," she said, "was a maid of honor to Queen Victoria. She spent a part of each winter at San Romo, where I have a villa, and one January afternoon ut the Sports' Club, as we were ei taking tea unuer mi uranse iree, a jjenne- u man said to her: ^ " "IIow interesting your life at court must ? be! And what a delightful diary you must foe able to keep!' " 'No,' said the maid of honor; 'that is w Impossible. Tho queen makes it a condition h that we keep no diaries while at court.' p " 'Ah,' said the gentleman, laughing, 'I think I should keep a very- secret one, all s the same.' , tl " 'Then,' said my friend, with a grave d smile, 'I am afraid you would not be a o maid of honor.'

But as for the shooting of the seacoast guns or the accuracy of the mine-planting, both might Just as well be out of existence, so far as any public knowledge of them is concerned. Nevertheless, both these branches of the service are very much alive. It is not because the seacoast defense is a government secret. American army officers believe in the theory that "if you have got a good thing and it works let your enemy know it, but if it's nothing to be proud of keep it dark." Their system of coast defense is a "good thing," and the only reason they do not advertise Is that they are too busy keeping It up to standard to taik about it. i Where the sound traffii of coal tows and white steam yachts, lighters, schooners and passenger boats slip through the narrow passage oft Whitestone, two grassy parapets .guards the way.
