iCoukhobors asked for a special train
to ta.,e them to a warmer climate.
All their funds have been given to
Mr. Crearer, the local immigration
agent, who has now upward up $17,000
p'ade up of their savings and the pro
ceeds of the sale of their stock. One
man who had a position in Yorkton
drew his monthly salary of $40 and
deposited it and refuses to work any
more, saying he was going to work
for Jesus.
A few weeks ago letters were sent
to all the states in South America by
tfe Doukhobors asking if they could
teorm a colony. It was stated that they
would lead good liven, although they
w-ould rot agree to conform strictly
with the laws of the government or
with the religion of the country.

NATIVE CUSTOMS IN JAPAN.
Primitive simplicity in Which Mika
do's Subjects Live.
A traveler in Japan writes: "Chu
senji is the fashionable summer resort
et Japan with its famous sulphur
baths. The water is as white as milk
and quite soft, like malosses, curing
every ili that the human skin is heir
to. ThA quaintest sight of the place
is the big bathhouse, where the little
brown men, women and babies paddle
about together, ahbsolutely au natural.
The tiny babies have their dinner in
the hath. their mammas eat theirs
from the edge of the inclosure, or they
come out perfectly nude and unem
barrassed. It is all so simple and
natural and without evil notice that
one quite forgets to Ihe shocked. But
the Japanese authorities, the police.
nmen, since they gave up their national
summer costumes of no clothes and at
tached their pompous little swords to
their pompous little uniforms, have
bect.ome exceedingly prudish, so tnat
the old and innoieenf customs are fast
being done away with."

LESSON OF TH... BOER WAR.
Financial Newspaper Explains Why
Such a Vast Sum Was Spent.
In England financiers are figuring
up the cost of the South African war
in money alone. These calculations
are more trustworthy than thoset
which were made wnile the war was
in progress, even in its closest stages,
for these were more or less affected
by partisanship. After surveying the
field of expenditures very carefully
the Statist comes to the conclusion
that Great Britain spent upon the war
230,000,000 pounds ($1,150,000,000).
This sum. the Statist says, "is consid
erably more than the vast war indem
nity which Germany exacted from
France thirty years ago." The moral
the Statist sees in these figures is that
the "unpreparedness" of Great Brit
an for the task of conquering two
small South African republics cost
her far more than the most elaborate
and careful reorganiittion of her mili
tary system could possibly have en
tailed.-Boston Transc:tipt.

often scattered on her brow, but at all

Trying to Please All.
The owners of a large factory near
New York have been cailed upon so
often to entertain unwelcome visitors
that they have posted a sarcastic bul
letin setting forth the hours during
which they will receive various class
es of callers, as follows: "Commer
cial travelers. 7 to 11; solicitors for
church subscriptions, 11 to i; book
agents, 1 to 3; stationery peddlers and
insurance agents, all day." A post
script states that the firm will attend

PANORAMA
MODERN DRAMA IN GERMANY
Esthetic Not Popular With Theater
Goers of the Fatherland.
German dramatists and the devotcesc
of the modern drama are jealous ot0
their craft and resent the importation
of any foreign article unless it boar'
the handmark of Isben, Bjornsen or
one or two Russian dramatists of the,
gloomy type. For in the German.
Iramatic world there are agrarians
who cry "Germnan drama for Ger
many," just as there are agrarians in,
the Reichstag who want to excludei
American beef. sausage and grains.
They swear loyally by their Haupt1
nann, Sudermann, ilalbe and Phillippi:
But the political agrarians have their;
,pponents and the dramatic agrarians
have theirb, for the assistant stage
manager, scene shifter and costume
makers are thrown out of jobs.
The coming season promises and
other deluge of the modern drama.
The Kaiser and royalty may disap
prove and refrain from favoring the
drama with its patronage, but the
theater-going public who contributes
to the balance sheet credit page, dic
tates and its command is "away with
the esthetic," and let us have the filth
of the gutter,' as the Kaiser says in
good German idiom. Q1

A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is

This medli ile will buildl up her system, strengthen her nerves, and
enable her to calmly ll:tndle a disobedient child without a scene. The
children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet,
will themselves become quiet.
