SOCIALISM INEVITABLE, WILL KliOWiX SOCIALIST AV VttESSES YALE .MUX. Predicts Crisis Within a Year Would Have Come Sooner but' for Wars Danger Comes from . I'nemployed Class Which is Rapidly Increasing Common Impression of Socialist Prop aganda Erroneous Says Mr. Wiltshire. Gay lord Wiltshire, the editor of Wilt shire's Magazine, and cf Progress, and one of the most prominent advocates of socialism In America to-day, gave an address before the Yale City Govern ment club at the University club last night.. Mr. Wiltshire's topic was "So cialism." 'Socialism, said Mr, Wiltshire, Is inev itable. Over production by machinery, and the introduction of machine-making machines has resulted 1n monopoly. This In the end will result in a Very large unemployed class and thus pro duce a crisis. This crisis, Mr. Wilt shire said, was coming very soon, and would probably be upon us within a year. Yet these conditions of monopoly could not have been avoided under the present regime. Rockefeller has been blamed as - the oppressor 6f the poor, but he could 'by no mean's have pre vented the formation -of trusts. This crisis, Mr.- Wiltshire claimed, would have been-upon us before but for the three great wars of recent years. It was aoout to break forth when the Boer war began. This war took half a million men out of the wage earning class, and turned manu facture to .the production of the equip ments of war. Then came thebgkqj orients of war.-' Previously came the Spanish-American war, and later the Russian Japanese conflict, making greater demands upon the ranks of the unemployed, and making a special de mand on production. Now, however, the effect?! of the wars are wearing off, and the conditions for the crisis are ripening. : " People in general, Mr. Wiltshire as serted, have an Incorrect Jdea of the so cialist propaganda. They think that the object is to divide the spoils when the, only object is tj prepare the coun try for the crisis that is impending. The socialists have no special programme. .Mr. Wiltshire himself did not claim to know what turn events would take when the crisis came. The socialist has a hard time in get ting his propaganda before the people, because of the tenacitiy with which (people cling to their old customs and ideas. They will not listen to the new doctrine. It is equally hard to . influ ence the working man, too. As long as he has a good jo 'band plenty to eat he has no room for ideas. The only time to influence him is when he Is out of work. , ' As a political organization the social ist party has little strength. It num bers only 35,000 members. All It can do is to gather strength at successive elections untM it can get its disciples Into office. This strength Is coming, for at the last national election the party polled 400.000 votes.

HOLLAND'S OLD BELLS. Ancient Chimes Have Delighted Dutch Burghers for Centuries. From the earliest times the people of the Netherlands have so greatly loved their bells and chimes that ar chitecture of their belfries and steep les shows marked traces of it. Most of these are of open-work design, so that the bells might be heard in the widest circumference, writes the Hagu,e correspondent of "The Chi cago News." Beautiful examples of this style can be seen in .the cath edral towers of Utrecht and Delft. Several of the smaller town's possess even finer specimens, ;' either In. their church spires' or in th'e; Deifries or watch towers. Like the well known belfry of Monnlkendam, these towers generally stood in the principal squar es. Their bells were tolled in case of danger, to alarm the burghers, , or call them together for important communi cations. Such, a tower is that of Bru ges, of which Longfellow sings: In the market place of Bruges Stands the belfry, old and brown, Thrice destroyed and thrice rebuilded Still It watches o'er the" town. In Holland there is scarcely a nlace of Importance that does not have one or more towers with chimes. The tunes of these are changed once or twice a year, generally on New Year's Day. This' is so at The Hague and Utrecht. Some places, however, are not content wtth this ' and have the tunes changed oftener, . It is on re cord that in one town, which had a fine carillon cast by the famous He mony in 1577, it was decreed that the tunes should be changed ever fort night, or at least once a month, so fon.d were the burghers of their bells. In a time when clocks were by.no means general the church bells were the timekeepers for the burghers. The heavier bell struck the hours and the lighter bell the half hour hours. It these were chimes they played a tune at noon and another" at midnight, while before the stroke ot the hour or division of the hour a part of the tun would be played. The consequence wag that there was always plenty of music In the air, and every one- in town would know what time It was. In Utrecht this custom is still con tinued, and as there are several "mus leal towers," it is not a place for nervous people to live. What an important guild that of founder must have been In the middle ages can be seen seen by the many legends attaching to the more famous names, the imputation of socery which attached to many and the secrets of the art which were to many and the secrets of the art which were jealiusly guarded by each foundry. Many of these bell founders achieved fame far beyond the precints of their town or country, and often executed commis sions for foreign potentates in distant lands. The German poet Schiller gives in his poem "Die Glocke," or. "The Bell," a delightfully poetical descrip tion of the casting of such a bell, set ting up, the mould, the' "mixing of the metal, the. carving of the Inscription and the baptism of the sacred object i6r bells were considered sacred .in the middle ages, and it, was not deem ed a sacrilege to baptize them with all the rites of the Church. The bells to the people then were like voices, from on high. Theirs was a noble mission "to calll the living and mourn the dead," to ring forth the joy and the sorrow of the community and' to cele brate the glory of the Almighty with their metal voices. Every bell had its name, being often called after the most popular local saint. It a chime or caril lon were 'composed of thirteen bells, as was often the case, the heaviest and largest b?ll named "Jesus" or "Salva tor," while the others bore the names of the apostles. The inscriptions on the bells are gen erally in rhyme and made to read as if the bell itself is telling its name and the history of its making. Hol land still possess many of these an cient bells, notably in the province of Frlesland. The earliest authenticated bell is that of Krommenle, cast in 1396, by Rodolphus de Montlgny. Most bells now In existence were, however, cast in the fifteenth, sixteenth or seventeenth centuries. The Reformation brought a change in the naming of the bells. The Roman Catholic saints were forsaken, and on ly Biblcal or worldly names were al lowed, while the inscriptions also breathed other views, as can be seen by comparing the bells cast in the seventeenth century with those of earlier date. Those on the older bells have a purely religious significance, while the later ones refer to worldly subjects, as for Instance the famous belt at Ham, which recounts in Its inscription how it burst in 1668 'be cause it had too loudly pealed out its joy at the victory of the Dutch beet over the English." Holland has produced many famous families of bell founders. Among the very oldest is the family Butendue, the first of which was William Butendue, in 1418, according to the Inscription on an ancient bell, for every bell told in Its. incription who wag its maker and in which town it was cast. A member of the, Butendue family cast the first chimes for the Cathedral of Utrecht. Another family of bell founders was Moor of Delft, lone of Vhos;v members cast a bell for Haarlem's most famous church, the St'. Bavo, In 15(10. Other well known bells cast by the family were those for the Oude Kerk of Old j Church of Amsterdam (1511), and for Antwerp, Leyden and Delft. The fam ily,. Van Won, of Kampen, was famed far and wide, and many bells In Hol land and Germany were cast by them, among others the renowned Glorlosa of Erfurt. Perhaps the moRt famous of All bell founders were the Hemonys, whose bells were celebrated for the lovely purity of their tone, and whose chimps were tuned perfectly in the half tones, which was considered noth ing' short of witchcraft to achieve. Thtey lived in the seventeenth century, and had the reputation of socerers. Notwithstanding this, Amsterdam ap pointed them bell founders for the city. WOMAN ARTIST AMID THE ICR Perhaps the loneliest artist's studio in the world is that which a woman Mme, Ana Boberg, has had built for herself on a lonely island called Far ven, lying off the Norwegian coast and within the winter ice belt. She has chosen the spot not as a summer re sort alone. This year she is spending the winter there. Mme. Boberg is a Swede and her home is in Stoeqholm. She hag been engaged In art work for about 14 years having started by making de signs for tapestry and graduating in to .water color picture. She is the wife of an architect and her love for the Artie wilds dates back several years to a pleasure trip which they made together to the. northerly part of the Scandinavian peninsula. She was so delighted with the wonderful coloring of the Artie seas and skies and the marvelous play of light on Ice and snowfleld that she determined to make a specialty of painting Artie land and water pieces. The island which she has chosen to reached only by a sailboat in open water. She spends long periods on it with no companion but a man servant from one of the larger islands nearby. The studio Is situated on the summit of a crag overlooking the sea, but she spends a comparatively small part of tier time in it. Most of the time she devotes to excurions In Rearch of the picturesque. Clad in a dress of reindeer skins and carrying her painting kit on her back she makes her way over snow and ice to distant points, sometimes being overtaken by' night, when she sleeps in deserted fishermen s huts or dugouts in the snow, living on dried fish, sea blrds'c eggs, and black coffee, for which she always carries the ma terials. When the snow is deep she travels on skis, and, she has invented a sail which she spreads when the wind iB favorable and allows horse if to be blown along over the slippery waters. Her trips are not with danger. More ttian once she has been in dan ger of losing her way, and she has had bad falls. Once she slipped through an unexpected gap in the ice into the water, several feet below, Fortunately it was In a shallow inlet and the tide was at ebb so that she was able to stand on the bottom and hoist herself back on the ice. Her reindeer costume, of course, saved her from freezing to death after her wet ting.

That Are Little Known to Northern Palates Too Tender for Transporta tion to These Lands. In addition to the climatic condi tions, the tropical products of the West Indies are interesting and attrac tive. With some of these, as bananas and pineapples, we are all more or less familiar, but there are others teat are so perishable that they will not bear transportation, and therefore are never exported. Some of these are very delicious, palatable and staple ar ticles of food among the natives, and residential population'. ; These, , ,of course, are unknown , except to those Who have an opportunity of visiting the reigons where they grow. During recent visits to toe island of Jamaica we had an opportunity of becoming aeqaulrited iwth . a' number of these. Some are Indigenous to the soil and grow wild, but. are im proved by cultivation; others are found only in the gardens and culti vated areas. . The mango is a tropical fruit but little known because it does not bear transportation well. It is a native of tropical Asia, but has been extensive ly cultivated in the tropical and sub tropical regions of both the old and new worlds. As seen in the Island of Jamaica, it grows to the height of 30 to 40 feet; a tree with dense spread ing, glossy foliage, which would se cure its cultivation as an ornamental tree alone. In its wild state the fruit is stringy and sour Its containing gal lic acid, with, a disagreeable turpen tine flavor. Through cultivation and selection it has become sweet and lus cious, with a great many varieties, differing not only in flavor but in size and appearance. In Jamaica what is known as No. 7 is considered as the best. When ripe the skin is a deep red, or bright ,yellow, shaded with green. The meat of the fruit is yel low, clinging very 'tenaciously to the pit, which is flat and oblong. "While it is delicious in flavor, the tate for it in some cases requires cultivation, but when this Is acquired it is consid ered a great delicacy; The bread fruit is, perhaps, one of the most important as a staple food product in the tropics, , Willie it grows on a large tree and is a fruit, in its use It is more like a vegetable. The tree grows, to a moderate height, with large leaves and highly ornamental as grown in the gardens. The fruit is nearly round, from 5 to 10 inches in diameter, sometimes with a tubercu lated skin like a rind; others are smooth, usually green or slightly bronzed In color. Some have seeds ttiat are eaten as chestnuts, but in the best varieties the seeds are aborted; these kinds are very highly prized and used as vegetables. It mbatures at different times, affording a supply thoroughoutihe greater part of the year. Before tt( fully ripens, when it is used, It is starchy in Us na ture, and Is prepared in various ways for the table, by faking, stewing, roasting in the hot ashes, frying, etc. We preferred them baked, when they had a taste somewhat resembling po tatoes, and they .are. .said to be very nutritious. v Custard apple Is the name applied to a fruit that resembles an apple only In Its size and shape. 'growing on lnrge shrubs or small trees.' "It is, when ripe, of a brown or purplish color. It has a somewhat large prel or rind, and contains a pulp that Is well named "custard," as It Is of about the same consistency, is $jjten raw with a spoon without any preparation or fla voring, and presents .fie appearance and has the taste of a boiled or baked custard. It has some nutritious value, but is mote of a relish or desert fnllt. The star apple Is of a similar char acter in Its growth, .and takes its name from the fact that a perfectly formed star is seen 'upon cutting it crosswise. The pulp is not quite as soft as In the custard apple, and of quite a different flavor, some prefer ring one Rnd some the other. The sour sop and the sweet sop are some what similar In growth, but quite dif ferent in both fruit and flavor, being more acid or sweater, In accordance with the variety eaten ,and not nearly as large as the apples. The neesberry Is another fruit, hav ing no resemblance whatever to a berry, looking more, as It Is exposed for sale, like a rusty, old, small, round, smooth potato. Inside of the skin or rind Is fouhd a pulp that Is sweetish or Subacid and with a good many seeds. . The traveler is Interested in noting the growth of these fruits. The bread fruit is quickly recognized, but the othfrs are not so easily distin guished, and I remember on one occa sion leaving the carriage and climbing a small tree in the woods by the road sftle, supposing that I was securing star apples, and I found that I had an entirely different fruit that was not edible, or at least was acrid and bit ter, nffordlng no inducement to the eater, although I did not discover this until I returned to the carriage with a hatful. In the city of Kingston, the only large town in Jamaica, these fruits are brought to the market by the natives, who raise them in their gardens or small fields that are under cultiva tion. They are not usually very good specimens that are offered, but are about the only source of supply to the stinger. I was greatly Impressed with the need of a well managed fruiterer's es tablishment where all of these and other fruits could be offered for sale and procurable at reasonable prices. The sago palm is another attractive product of tropical countries, and while it is not known In Jamaica to any great extent, there are found specimens of trees In the gardens there. Sago is a food starch, prepared from the deposit in the trunk of the sago palm. These grow mostly in ttie low lands, seldom more than 25 feet In height, with a thick trunk and fine, palm like leaves at the top. They mature in about 15 years, and the hard shell and bark are filled with a pulpy mass. When the fruit ripens this disappears and tr.e tree dies. When the palms are cut down and the trunk divided, a starchy pith is ab stracted and grated to a powder; this is kneaded with water over a strainer and the starch is worked out of the woody fiber and settles in the trough below. This Is cleansed1 by Uie addi tion of more water, the starch settling to the bottom. The water Is drained off, the mass, of starch is dried and used by the natives for soups and made into a form of bread.. That in tended for exportation is mixed into a paste with water and rubbed through sieves into small grains, and is known as pearl sago, bullet sago, etc, and it has become an important article of strachy foods. Various otiier palms yield sago, but of an inferior quality to that of the sago palm. Albert Turner in Health Culture. WHY THE CATS ARE. ..THE MOST DANGEROUS OF WILD. ANIMALS. "Of all wild animals," writes A. W. Rolker in the February Appleton's Magazipe, "including the rhinoceros With his frightful . charge- and his dreadful horn, including the rogue ele phant with his' unbounded ,' strength,' his marvelous cunning, and his vil llanous trunk, and including that gray shaggy rogue the American 'grizzly' with his rib-crushing hung, his pond erous paw, and his hot, recking maw, no beast, is as dangerous to man as any one of the big cats. For besides the mouth provided with teeth that can crush through the leg bone of a man as If it were a pinestem, each foot is provided with five ponlard-IIke claws, pointed like needles and from three to four and a half inches long. As the beast strikes with these he draws the claws in, keeping hold of muscles and tendons and ligaments, and tearing them out of the flesh un til they snap like rubber bands, so that unless the victim succumbs it will be months and months and some times years and. years before he can regain use of an injured member. "But not only do these talons tear, Curious to say, considering that, al though the claws are needle-pointed, tlie edges are dull as the tip of a lit tle finger, a cut with one of these hooks is like the cut of a dagger. Last year, In Bostock's trained wild animal show, a Bengal tigress made a sweep at a European black bear, cut through the six-ineh-thick fur of the bear, and cut' three parallel strips two feet long and six inches and clean as razor slashes to the very backbone of the beast. As a matter of fact, the dexter ity of one of these big cat's claws is astounding., Here is a curious accident which happened to Bostock himself when he undertook personally to break in a 'rogue'tiger that had 'gone bad.' Provided with solcleather guards, worn next the skin and covering the fleshy part of the leg from the groin to the knee, he entered the arena with the bad one, and was attacked and wounded. His trousers were slashed In one spot just big enough to admit a single claw, an undergarment show ed two slmlllar and the sole-leather guard three similar cuts, while the flesh, was torn, an inch deep in four places three inches long. Still another instance .showing the marvcloua quick ness of claw; happened in the same show when the trainer in charge of a leopard group was saved in the nick of time from a rogue which had tried to pull him down by climbing up on him. The arm of this man showed, be tweep wrist and elbow alone, twenty six wounds, varying from a quarter of an inch deep and an Inch long to one Inch deep and four inches long. ."Of all the big cats, including that magnificent jungle-named monarch of might, the lion and Including those beautifully spotted orang'e-and-nlaek villlans, the jaguar and the leopard, and their cusltl, that noiseless, llghten-Ing-Bwlftt traitor, the panther, trainers prefer to handle the tiger. Thlsr U contrary to the popular belief, which credits the tiger as the most ' blood thirsty of all wild beasts. The tiger is however, the quickest to lean and the easiest to handle. Whereas the tiger always remain a nervous, hlgh stung brute, after a time a lion be comes phlegmatic and lazy, and re quires urging, which is apt to cause trouble.. Whereas the tiger is a. demon Incarnate and merciless, once aroused, he is at least an.honest ,', fighter, who gives ample warning when about to attack, and only as a rare exception attacks a man from behind, unlike jaguar, the leopard, and the' panther, which are treacherous and almost in variably attack when a back Is turn ed. Again, of all this dangerous family the nature of the tiger comes nearest that of an ordinary house cat, and, always comparatively, the tiger It Is that is most appreciative once the master, has succeeded in establishing his truce: then, like the domestic cat, he likes to brush up against the person of his trainer, loves to have his back rubbed and groomed and the top of his head scratched to soothe the everlast ing itch between the ears, while ' he omits purrs of satisfaction, forgetting: that the least unforscen accident may arouse murderous Instincts that would in a twinkling convert the friendly meeting into a shambles." CONGRESS CATALOG HERE. Cards from National Library to be De posited with the University. Mr. Keogh in Charge. The librarian icf congress has acted favorably upon the request made by the Yale University Library to become a depository of the catalog of the Library of Congress. This action is of the high est importance to the admistration of the Library and Is the first step in en larging and completing the present catalog, for which special special pro vision was recently made by the Cor poration. Duplicate cards of the great 'author of the Congressional Library will be de posited In the Yale Library as soon as practicable. These cards, the result of the high class of cataloging work of the Library in Washington, will be of special value to the Yale Library in the work of its catalogers, saving no incon siderable amount of money and time in preparing cards for the great accumula tion of books. The value of the Library of Congress CRtalog to the users of the Library also will be great in that it covers all the current American publica tions and will shortly cover the entire stock of the national library. Mr. lAndrew Keogh of the Library staff, who will superintend the comple tion and engagement of the catalog, has just returned from a visit to the lead ing libraries in the country, where the librarians are facing problems to those at Yale. The next months will be given up to planning for the work, which can not be begun before the summer or fall. THE HANDSOME AFGHANS. Unusual Pallor of the Women Pas . sion i for Intrigues and Feuds. The Afghans may be said to con sist of about a, dozen great clans, with numerous subdivisions. The strongest and bravest of these clans are the Ghllzals, the Duranis, the Yusufzais. Their members ,do not recosniza as Afghans all of those to whom we ap ply the term,, although they are of tlje same. , religion, speak the same langu age, possess the same - traits -in character and observe the Same cus toms. There Is a distinction ..' with 'a differnce, and the "outsiders" are de scribed as Pathans not as Afghans, As the Afghans are handsome and athletic, writes Angus' Hamiltion jn the London Chronicle. Often of fair complexion,- they have, for the most part, aquiline features; They grow beards," but shaye the 'top of the head, leaving- the hair at the sides to fall in large curls over the shoulders. Proud In bearing peremptory in manner and quick to resent injury, the average Afghan is nothing if not cruel, treacherous, perjured and vindictive. His good points are that he' Is fear less, an industrious cultivator, hospi table to a fault and passionately fond of field sports. In a contrary . direc tion, he has a passion for the vendet ta, and his blood feuds are pursued with no uncertain energy. Afghan women, who possess :a Jewish cast of features, are handsome, with complexions of unusual pallor, but 'sometimes rosy. They are kept rigidly secluded yet intrigues are said to be frequent; and a bullet or a dag ger thrust more often than not does duty for the divorve court. Their costume is of a most picturesaue des cription. Even to a plain and awk ward woman it imparts some appear ance of grace. A "piran," or chermse, extends from the throat to just above the ankles, with seleves that reach to the wrist. , It is of cloth of -old, velvet, cashmere, or calico, and in shape not unlike our own. Princess robe. Beneath this are "tom-bons," or pajamas. These m-ay be of cloth of gold, ' silk, cashmere or calico, finished off at the ankles by a fringe of diamonds, goid or silver. A round cap, worked all over with gold thread, so that it looks like gold cloth, is at ted closely to the back of the head. The hair, parted in the centre, is done up in tiny braids, which are caught in a black silk embroidered bag worn underneath the gold cap, but hanging down the back to. below the waist. Married women wear -''a fringe of hair, often curled, on either side of the face. Descending from the top of the head to the .hem of the "plran," leaving the face uncovered, is the gracefully draped "chader" large wrapping of finest muslin filmy sauae, or delicately tinted chiffon. - ;? Black hair is In vogue among yie belles of the palace, and if their locks reveal any shades of fairness, or shdw Indications of turning gray, the vain cratures, adopting the custom of their Western sisters at once dye them.
