The diamond jubilee hymn, written toy Bishop Wakefield, contains a stanza which begins "Where England's flag files wide unfurled, all tyrant wrongs repelling." A Pittsburg paper In showing the natural aptness for English composi tion on the part of the children In a certain country school, giver this as one of the answers which the teacher got In response to the request for a eentence -with the word "delight" In it: 'De wind come in de winder and blow led out de light." "With proper methods for using cot ton seeds it Is claimed that the value Of this product could be easily doubled and reach the large sum of $100,000,000 annually, an amount equal to one third of the value of the cotton crop It eelf. With the processes now In vogue for the manufacture of cotton seed oil much that Is useful Is wasted. The brewers of this country are ex erting their entire power and influence in efforts to prevent the proposed in crease of the tax on beer. While con fident that they will succeed, they will continue the agitation until the passage of the bill, without an added duty, has been accomplished. It Is common talk In Washington that if the brewers car ry theft" point & stamp tax on checks, drafts, deeds, mortgages and commer cial papers generally may be imposed of the general character of that which during the war added very largely to the government's revenues. The two Swiss cantons of Thurgovie and Argovle have lately taken a new ifleparture in dealing with the vagrants end beggars who at certain seasons in fest 'the federal highways. The plan they have followed is to establish relief posts at certain points along the main roads, generally at a distance of three hours frohi each other. These, for the discouragement of the professional beg gar, are in telephonic communication with the police stations, but they are also affiliated with registered and care fully inspected lodging houses in every town and village along the route, and all cases that seem deserving are di rected to these abodes. The report from both cantons is that the system works excellently, producing a monthly decrease in the number of mendicants for relief. Bullfighting has received a bad, or good, setback In Spain. The Madrid Chamber of Commerce has just pre sented a petition based on the unani mous vote of its members to the gov ernor of Madrid, requesting him to put a stop to weekday corridos, save on ex ceptional occasions. It is urged there in that bullfights on working days in jure trade and industry, are detrimen tal to the diBpatch of business In the government offices and favor idleness with all its accompanying evils. The governor has promised to accede to the petition, and his decision is approved by a large and influential portion of the public, while the remainder of the people view the matter with indiffer ence. Yet twenty years ago the bare idea of any restriction of the number of bullfights by the authorities would have raised a storm of indignation, possibly developing into a revolution. The altered condition of public senti ment with regard to this national sport is mainly attributed to the excellent in fluence of the Queen Regent, who ha3 always set her face against bullfight ing, resolutely declining to countenance the corridos by her presence. A lively discussion of the communion cup problem is now going on in San Francisco, and an' Episcopalian clergy man of the city saye that the women of the Pacific coast are firmly and with practical unanimity in favor of a change tmm the old method of admin istering the sacrament; that is, from cups used by more than one person. At a recent diocesan convention, though over a hundred women were present, not one of them partook of the communion, and inquiry revealed the existence of a determination to ab stain until the change to individual cuds is made. One of the Church pa- of San Francisco, in advocating pers the reform, presents a remarkable dia gram. It pictures upper lips covered with mustaches of various length, and dotted lines drawn across each shows the depth to which it is immersed while Its owner Is drinking. Accompanying this is the statement that "reform in the manner of administering the holy communion must come, and why should the Episcopal clergy 'kick against the pricks' in this matter? They are abso lutely alone ae a body in holding out against the. Inevitable. Whatever men may do, women on this coast do not longer willingly drink from the common communion cup." ao vavsk run .i. i.-.ir. Certain uneasy people In this quiet town appear to be afraid that the dear little school children will learn' some thing wrong about the silver question by the study of Thomas' history, and they are making a small fuss about the mattor. They are unduly excited and they forget their own school days. Let them calmly sit down and ask them selves how much they learned about anything when they were at school and how near right they got what they did learn. They will then be able to per ceive that the dear little school children of the present day are not In any great danger from Thomas' school history, and that If they do happen to remem ber anything they learn from It they are as likely to remember it wrong as right. We don't know just how unsil Very the history In question is, but we whl bet a silver dollar that the dear lit tle children will not be seriously harm ed by it. The testimony of the teach ers who try to induce them to learn it would probably allay the anxiety of the alarmed agitators. TAI.T.Y AKOTIIKIt. I'OIt WOMAN. j All married men know how poor a critter" a man Is when compared with a woman. They have to know it. for if they don't find it out by quiet obser vation and honest thought they have It so clearly and frequently explained to them by their wives that they can't deny it without confessing themselves to be hopeless idiots. And such a con fession their natural and proper pride : forbids. Especially, they learn, does Woman shine in the matter of judg ment or intuition. She can't make a mistake, and if she seems to it always turns out that her seeming error was the best thing that could possibly have happened. Therefore no married man will be surprised by what has happen ed in New Jersey, and single men can, if they will, learn something from it. A few weeks ago it was discovered that Miss Margaret Williams, a type writer who copied a bill providing for a special election in New Jersey, at which the people were to signify their approval or disapproval of certain amendments proposed to the State con stitution, had put the word "prohibit ed" in place of the word "provided." Certain coarse men, unmindful of Wo man's sure intiiition and total infalli bility, rushed to the conclusion that Sister Williams had made a terrible mistake that would cost an extra ses sion of the legislature and many thou sand dollars to correct. But see how they were brought to confusion. It has turned out that when Sister Williams wrote "prohibited" for "provided" she was inspired. Under the bill as it passed the legislature there was a pro vision for three days' registration of voters before the special election wss held. This special registration would have required an expenditure of $102, 000. In reconsidering the bill with the view to correcting the alleged mistake made by the typewriter, the New Jer sey legislature became convinced that one registration day was sufficient, and the amendment was accordingly made so that the special registration will cost but $56,150, and the state will accord ingly be under $46,000 obligation to the typewriter who compelled the extra session. Thus is Woman again vindicated, and vindicated so that even stupid Man can't grumble. 1MMAUKS BV GOVKKHOn BLACK. When Governor Black paid his debt to Lou Payn by appointing him insur ance commissioner despair entered the hearts of those who had been hoping for better things. But since then the new governor has done some things which show that he is not entirely de void of eyesight and insight. His latest service to the State, and an important one it is, consists in stopping the build ing of the Eastern Reformatory in Ul ster county, which was planned on a scale that would bring the- cost up to a million of dollars. He- refused to sanction an appropriation of $200,000 for the building. The work promised to be of the new capitol order in the matter of absorbing the substance of the peo ple. In an interview on the subject the governor says: This Eastern Reforma tory was put in about the most inac cessible part of Ulster county, and then a plan for its construction was adopted which it will take $1,000,000 out of the State to execute. There are to be accommodations for five hundi-ed boys or young men, who are to be re formed, if possible. Think of it! One million dollars for the housing of five hundred persons! Why, some of the most expensive hotels in New York city, which house only five hundred people, do not cost more than that. The pro portion of the total cost to the number of people to be cared for is wrong. The ; reformatory ought to have been planned on far less expenwlve lines. They have already expended $400,000 on the struct ure and desire to expend $000,000 more. It would be far more economical for the State to abandon this building and erect, say, for $300,000, a building am ply suitable for such a purpose. The governor has also taken a look at the whole matter of the State's charities and he hag some views con cerning it. He say3: There ought to be some check applied, and applied at once, on the tremendous scale of expen ditures for the State's charitable and penal institutions. Convicts .ought not to be housed as though they were living In a Waldorf hotel, with all the com forts and luxuries of such an estab lishment. I have been greatly aston ished since I came to Albany at the cost of supporting the State's indigent insane. This year the vast sum of $4, 800,000 is appropriated simply to feed and clothe them in houses already built for them. And the other charitable in stitutions of the State are supported at a similar rate. What I am especially struck by is the high rate per week which It costs to support the patients in the charitable Institutions. These charity patients ought to be well fed and well housed, but surely they ought not to be cared for at a more expensive rate than would suffice for the sup port of the families of the farmers and working people of the State; and the farmers and workmen have a good right to protest that they do not wish to labor to pay taxes for any such pur pose. If Governor Black continues to talk like this and if he acts accordingly he will pleasantly surprise many people, even if he unpleasantly surprises some. FASUIOX XOTliS. Something New Cnder the Chin. The soft stock is the newest neck wear. A wide and sometimes padded collar from two and a half to three inches wide, with soft ends that cross at the back and tie a four-in-hand in front makes the soft stock. As a rule this stock matches the material of the bodice, and in some cases is a perma nent collar. White satin shirt waists with white satin soft stocks are very- stunning for the semi-tailor girl. This stock will be rather warm wear for relief from i summer, but won't it be a the stiff -as-a-board neck harness into which we have been putting ourselves! These stocks will be shown in piques and ginghams, but In all cases stock and tie are one of one material. The very latest form of this acces sory is pictured here, and was black chiffon, knotted well below the neck af ter being wound about the throat. Above it at sides and back was a lace collar. This gown was made of mauve liberty silk, and the plainness of Its skirt was finely balanced by the dainty bodice. This had mauve lining, and was composed of alternate puffs of the silk and strips of lace insertion, the folds encircling the' lower part but pointing up to the collar above the bust. The shoulder pieces were entire ly of lace. The bodice was alike in back and front, hooked Invisibly at the left side, the sleeves were draped with black chiqon and the belt was black satin. Fancy waists with sash belt, the ends hanging to the hem of the skirt, are worn with dark skirts lined to match or harmonize with the waist, though some! mes the lining contrasts. On a bolero that is long in front and cut up jauntily at the back, a narrow slit ex tending to the neck band, a sash that is pushed below the waist line at the back, seems to solve the question of making a graceful hip curve at the back.

Ayme, who was professor of French to the German emperor from October, 1S75, to June, 1877, is on the eve of publishing his memoirs, some of the proof-sheets of which have been com municated to us. Contrary to what might be expected, the professor says that during the whole of that period he never had a quarrel with his pupil, who always showed toward him the greatest kindness and respect. M. Ayme does not attempt to hide 'the fact that he still maintains a most lively and sym pathetic feeling for His Majesty. "I knew William II. when he was only seventeen years old," says the profes sor, "and I am glad to see that he prac tices to-day the same doctrines as those which he professed formerly. The con tradictions in his character are only ap parent. He is intelligent to the highest degree, and is endowed With such ca pacity for labor and assimilation that he can approach without ridicule the most diverse subjects in the field of hu man knowledge. He has one weakness, if such it can be called in the case of a monarch he .is fond of show, but only when he appears in public. In his inner life he is the most simple, familiar and agreeable man to be found in his king dom. He is full of tact and wit. His look Is frank, his smile affable, his bearing modest, and all who come across him feel his irresistible sway. He Is fond of France (sic); he reads our books and papers with eager pleasure; he admires our works of art, and speaks our tongue with ease and perfection. He also speaks other languages, nota bly Italian and English. How many times has he not said to me: 'The day when the French kepi and the German helmet march together, what will be come of Carthage?' " M. Ayme says that Prince William and his brother Henry, in order to keep thern awav from the influence of the court, were sent to uassei. xneir in- daily contract with the bourgeoisie," continues the professor, "led them to associate at an etirly age in the currents of popular aspiration, the importance of which they would never have suspected in the midst of the courtiers of Berlin. Prince William, although eminently studious, sown began to Bhow his predi lection for pagentry, for high-sounding phrases and the chlvalric acts of Fred eric the Great and his own grandfather, i He meditated a great deal on Socialism, of which later on he was destined to make a trial. He adopted the articles of faith of a generous philosopher of the nineteenth century. He made no . difference between the nobles and the people, any more than between Jews and other sects of the empire, and did all he could in his position to make his acts correspond with his theories." The professor next tells us that it was his custom to choose for his lesson some literary or political event of the mo ment. One day, however, the subject happened to turn on the war of 1870-71. "It was you who desired it," Said the p"rlnce to me. "It was you who made it inevitable," I responded. And argu ments of all kinds, good, bad and Indif ferent, followed In rapid succession. "Well," said the prince, in a calm and thoughtful tone, "listen to me. You know that papa is incapable of dlssenu bling. ,Now, the day on which the war was decided officially, I remember with painful precision the scene of which I was a witness. It took place at Pots dam. We were preparing to sit down for dinner, when papa suddenly came In, pale and dejected. 'Alas!' he cried, as he klsed us, 'the die Is east France is determined to go to war. Ah, my children, what a frightful calamity!' " M. Ayme adds that naturally the din ner was not gay, and if anybody had seen them at that moment it would have been difficult to suppose that the horrible news filled them with delight. On another day the subject of the les son was the wonderful manner In which France had recovered from her defeat. "Everybody," said the prince, "was mistaken as to your financial power. It is not five milliards that we ought to have claimed, but ten or fifteen." "You could have done so," I replied, "for you were our masters." "Never mind," said the prince, laughing, "we shall not forget it next time." The professor did not laugh, but responded, "Next time it may not be we who will have to pay." "Then so much the worse," remarked the prince, "for we should never be able to find such a sum." "In that case," said M. Ayme, "permit me to observe that the game would not be equal. If you won, it would be of enormous bene fit to you; but if you lost, there would be nothing for us. It would be like the gambler who play3 with an empty pocket; he may be lucky at first,' but supposing chance should not have fa vored him" For the first time, pursues M. Ayme, the prince frowned. The professor had gone too far. "You put a wrong inter pretation on my words," said the prince. "I can assure you that it never entered my mind that I should be capa ble of undertaking a war for the pur pose of despoiling you. Such a war would be nothing more or less than an organized robbery, and would be entire ly opposed to my views on the question. I feel persuaded, in fact, that the ma jority of conflicts between nations are the result of the ambition of ministers who make use of these criminal means to keep themselves in power and in crease their popularity. In future I shall not indulge in joking with you any more." A coolness reigned for some day3 be tween the professor and his pupil. It was the prince who dispelled it. He ex cusrd himself for having wounded the patriotism of his master. "It was-not only a Jest," he said, adding, "What is not a joke is the dream of seeing some day the union of the forces of your country to those of ours. What prodi gious things the two nations would be able to accomplish! They would logi cally become the sovereigns of the world. In placing in the service of jus tice and progress the elements which they possess, they would forward the march of humanity in the path of civili zation." The professor rejoined, "That is a beautiful dream, but you know what renders Its realization Impossible, for versatile as we may be, there Is one certain point on which wo cannot ac cept any compromise." "Qui vivra ver ra," concluded the prince. This was in allusion to Alsace-Lorraine. Without attributing too much value to the ideas of the Kaiser, M. Ayme believes that he is sincere when he says he will not assume before humanity the responsi bility of the future butchery. The professor relates several curious anecdotes of the emperor. While at college he became acquainted with a young Israelite, and, to the horror of the court, Invited him to pass his Christmas holidays at Berlin and Pots dam. The Princess Victoria often went to Cassel to see her sons, and particu larly Prince William. M. Ayme says she was simple in her manners, of great Intelligence, and a tender and devoted mother. She could not be loud enough In her praises of the prince, whom she adored, and never ceased to enumerate his qualities with a joyful and maternal satisfaction. "Is he not really a fine young man? Is he not remarkable for his capacity? Does he not do honor to his family?" Such were the questions she put to the professor, who was on good terms with the princess. At that period, too, the prince was asked what he thought of the republic, to which he briefly replied: "Were I a Frenchman, I should be a republican;" It would be curious to know if he is still of the same opinion.
