The Pittsburg people have beep rip- ! ped up the back and down in front so much the past year that the average Plttsburger hardly knows where he is at politically. Some of them are swear ing vengeance against Quay, Stone. Flinn and the whole gang. Others, like the Blgelows and Major Brown, who had their fingers badly singed by pulling the Quay chestnuts out of the fire, are ashamed to own that they were such consummate fools as to trusi the Old Man. and hence they still pre tend to bellieve that he is all right and still acting in good faith; but that Stone, like a bad boy, refuses to obey his master. The childish confidence of these full grown men is touching to behold. They put up their hundreds of thousands of dollars to help Quay. Stone & Company to pass the ripper bill, and as soon as it was passed they were deliberately betrayed for a con sideration, and that Is the whole story. There was a time when men retired from business when they secured a competency, and gave somebody else a chance. Not so now in this age of greed and commercialism. The aver- , age man has grown to be so much of a hog that he keeps on grabbing as long as he can draw a breath. When a man in these evil days makes a mil lion he is only the more eager for the next and that stimulates his grasping propensity to make still greater efforts for more. Men are now judged by the wealthy class, not by what they are. but by what they have, no matter by , what means it may have been acquired, and never did Shakespeare's saying, "the learned pate ducks to the golden fool," apply more truthfully than at the present time. Roosevelt says we may find it necessary to shackle cun ning as we have found it necessary to shackle force, and there is no sort of cunning today that needs shackling so much as the cunning of greed. Since Roosevelt has become president, how ever, he hasn't a word to say about shackling anything or anybody who may help him in his ambition for a sec ond term. Public sentiment seems to be strong against allowing the Chinese to come to our shores to earn a livelihood. Let us admit for the sake of the argument that we should pass a prohibitory law, but in the name of consistency, if we declare that they shall not come here should we not cease our clamor for an open door in China —a door that opens but one way? We have been forcing China to open her gates to us, and de claring that she shall allow our mis sionaries full sway to stuff them with our religion, or we will shoot it into them with Maxim guns. In fact, we have done some shooting on this ac count already. To solemnly declare by act of congress that China shall not send any of her people here and still insist that she shall open wide her gates to us is too unreasonable to be tolerated on the part of any nation. The man who says to his neighbor, "you must keep your children strictly out of my yard, but you shall permit mine to go into your yard or your house at their own pleasure," is not a whit more unreasonable and inconsis tent than the bullying nation which demands privileges that it absolutely refuses to grant. It isn't any wonder that China is suspicious of our religion if it is exhibited in our dealings with other nations. According to the military experts who are conducting the operation of benevolently assimilating Samar, the situation on that island "demands a policy of rigid starvation." Our excuse for doing to the Filipinos what Wey ler did to the Cubans is identical with that made by the Spaniard. We are herding a part of the people in con centration camps and starving the rest because they doubt the friendliness of our intentions toward them, and do not know what is good for them. Our in tentions are beautifully benevolent, but for the present military necessity compels us to dissemble our love and chasten the doubting Filipino with "rigid starvation" while we contribute liberally to the relief of the abused Boers in South African concentration camps.—North American. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE 1 Jonlnli Rcml'M Invention. The Inventor of the cooking range died the other day, says a writer in the New York Mail and Express. lie , was ninety-two years old, and lie lived ■ at Everett. Mass., a suburb of Boston. Ills name was Josiah M. Head. The | name is not in "Who's Who," and the i old man was unknown to fame, al though his invention effected a more profound and momentous change i?i American domestic life, perhaps, than Morse's electric telegraph did. or Whit ney's cotton gin. or even Howe's sew- I iug machine. There had been stoves : before Head. Franklin made a stove which still goes by his name. It is sim ply an open grate on legs, with a pipe. | The feet ran be warmed at it. and the j room can he filled with smoke. There j were rude cooking contrivances before Head made his ranges, away back in the thirties, but they were crude nf- | fairs. Men who are now not old can remember when women baked in a ; Dutch oven—a movable tin box, which was shoved up in front of a hot open ! tiro. The cooking range made possible in elaborate and careful arrangement f the humblest cuisine. It was eeo j aomieal in the sense that It gave a I great deal more heat from the same | lmount of fuel. It saved heat and time, j It enlarged the American bill of fare. : It increased the complexity of the do- I inestic organization and abolished old fashioned rustic simplicity. FOP (lie Sickroom.

Near the center two small eyelets should he worked. Then a piece of glass corresponding in size and shape should he obtained at the glazier's, and this, too, should have two small holes similar in location to those in the linen. When the work is fin- | islied, the linen is tied with baby rib bon to the glass, and a most service able and at the same time attractive article for an invalid is ready for use. Lump S1IIH1N.

Mothers who are seeking the ideal and projier medicine to give their little ones for constipation, diarrhoea, colic and simple fevers will lind LAXAKOLA the great family remedy. It is the best and most effective laxative for children. BEST liecaufle it is safe and made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grijies or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because " Children like it and ask for it." It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent remedies that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and will often relieve colic by exiK'lling the wind and gas that cause it, and it also will check simple fevers, break up colds and clear the couted tongue. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrho'a, accompanied with white or green evacuations, from the fact that LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of fermentation, aids digestion, relieves restlessness, assists nature and induces sleep.

LI WROTE TO BOTH MEN. lint Tliey Compared Not en mid Spoil ed HIM KlTeet. I Many tales are told of the dealings ' of Li llung Chang with his diplomatic subordinates, and there is a character istic story atioat with regard to his re lations with the present minister to England, Sir Chihchen Lo Feng Lull. The time was that of the siege of the legations in Peking, when all the civi lized world was in fear as to the fate of the beleaguered and when China, with her emissaries and all pertaining lo her, was looked on with no very friendly eye. Li Ilung Chang was the virtual ruler of China, and it was from him that the various ministers and em bassadors received their instructions. There had apparently been some fresh manifestation of European displeasure when one day the minister in England received from Li a message the pur port of \fcjiich was as follows: "We are not satisfied with your of forts in London. The English are hos tile, and you must do something to al ter matters. You are not energetic enough. You are neglecting to influ ence the government. The man who is doing all the work is your colleague in Washington. Wu Ting Fang. lie is the man you should imitate." Unfortunately for Li's little game. Sir Chihchen and Wu Ting Fang hap pened to he close friends, and the min ister here cor-titled what had happened to his friend in Washington. Wu Ting Fang was, to say the least of it, sur prised. "This is very extraordinary," he re plied. "I also have had a message from Li Ilung Chang. This is what ho says to me: " 'Your efforts are not giving satis faction. We feel you should be more energetic and that you should try to influence the American government to take our side in this affair. You are not tloing half enough, and if you want an example you should turn to Sir | Chihchen Lo Feng Lull, the minister in ! London. lie Is the man who is doing i all the work.'"—Candid Friend. Wilson iiiml llie Author* An embryo librettist recently ap proached Francis Wilson, the come ! dian, with a manuscript and received rather a bewildering reception. "I cannot agree to read it," said the comedian amiably. "I am a weak per | son influenced by merit." | "But my book is very good," argued ! the librettist. ! "Just what I fear, my dear boy," replied Mr. Wilson. "If it proved to be good, I might he tempted to produce it i —and lose $20,000. If 1 did not produce it, I should he uneasy, and 1 do not I wish to add to my discomfort. How ! ever, I will read the book oa one condi tion." "What is it?" I "That you assure me your book is downright rubbish." "But it isn't." "Then I can do nothing for you. Good day."—New York Times. Soiitlierlaiid'N Mrunplionc. Commander Southerland, chief of the hydrograpldc otiice, has had to stand a lot of chatting from his friends since Mr. Rayner's slimming up in the Schley court, in which he pictured Southerland as standing at the wrong end of a megaphone and delivering | his famous message, "No news of the I Spaniards," which, Rayner said, stuck iin the megaphone. Soutlierland's friends when they meet him are in the I habit of forming their hands into a I megaphone over their mouths and i i shouting "No news" at him. Souther ! land enjoys the Joke as much as any body and did not even remonstrate i when some of them clubbed together j to buy him a tiny silver megaphone as a watch guard for a Christmas pres ! eat.

By the. local application of adrenalfli in solution' operations may be performed, it is said, on the nose, ear and eye without the spilling of a drop of blood. Thus has it been dem onstrated that the discovery is the most powerful medicine known and at the same time it might be said the most expensive. At pfesent it costs a dollar a grain.

(Iradually his adver tising brought such results that he now spends more than .$.">,000 a month for space in the leading newspapers. He has succeeded in winning a trade which other manufacturers could have had by advertising in their home newspapers.
