It la uot always safe to Judge the
state of our prosperity by the prices

Viceroy Alexteff calls the Japanese
a "self-willed, stubborn enemy." The
remark throws a flood of light on the
origin of the war.
Mr. Carnegie wants war abolished,
but the Carnegie mills are going right

Algernon Sartoria, grandson of Gen

too easily corrupted. So? Noticed
something of the same sort here.
Already the New York subway is
being disfigured with unsightly adver
tisements. Some people will think it
a pity when they get to heaven If
they ever do that they can't line the
streets of the New Jerusalem with
billboards.
Woman was woman 2000 B. C. Ar
thur Kvans, the Oxford archaeologist,
has found in Crete a subterranean
sanctuary containing the statue of a
goddess. The goddess has on corsets
exactly like those of modern date, and
now the splendid physique of Greek
women has to be explained on a whol

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., exhorted on
the parable of the leaven before his
Bible class, and said: "There Is noth
ing in the dough itself to make It light
and wholesome. The dough itself Is
harmful If taken Internally." When
it comes to talking about "dough"
young Rockefeller speaks with author
ity, for he should have inherited suffi
cient Information on the subject to en
title him to the entire bakery.
What Is doubtless the largest meteo

Commander Peary found it In the arc

According to official Japanese re
ports, one regiment which went Into
one of the most desperate assaults
upon the defenses of Port Arthur with
more than 2,700 effective men lost
2,500. Only six officers and 200 men
came back from one of the most terri
ble struggles in the history of war.
Such fighting as this is disheartening
to the most stubborn antagonists
which any army can encounter. It
reveaU a willingness literally to con
quer or die, which is appalling to offi
cers commanding opposing forces..
Abyssinia is being '"wired." Some
1,000 miles of telephone line have been
put up and as much more is being
laid. The work is no joke. The rains
and the poles fell. The white ants ate
up a large collection of wooden poles.
Then iron ones were put up, which
.the simple native liked so well that
he took them home to use in his busi
ness. The Negus stopped the amuse
ment by proclaiming death to the pole
pilferers. But the royal mandate can
not prevent the Bandarlog, the mon
key people, from swinging in the wires
or what is much more delightful
the elephant from scratching himself
against the poles. The telephone pole
Is a scratching post for elephants.
Thus does civilization provide home
comforU for the Jungle people.
Nothing Is more remarkable In con

the stolidity of the Chinese people. If
they take note of the battles they
seem to have no preference as to
which side shall be victor. This Is"
largely a fact of Ignorance, for even
the well-Informed natives have only
the crudest geographical knowledge
and do not grasp the meaning of a
map. But the stolidity Is not alto
gether attributable to lack of compre
hension of military movements In the
area of hostilities, but Is largely due
to racial characteristics. From every
point of view the Chinese are an Illus
tration of arrested development They
Lava been beating time so long u l

President Palma was a We to con

lu the foreign trade of the Island. lie
reported that the Imports for the .fis

402.000, an Increase of $11,872,000, and
that the exports were fJM.3P0.000, an
Increase of $10,000,000. He ddd Dot
state tb proportion of the Increase In
the trade wltli the Uulted States, but
our own government statistics show
that It la considerable. We sold Cuba
In the fiscal year, according to our
computation, S2rt.908.000 of goods, an
Increase of $3,147,000 over the fiscal
year 1003, and we bought from Cuba
$70,083,000, an Increase of f 14.04 1,000.
As compared with 1002, our saka were
almost the same, but our purchases
had more than doubled.
Food adulteration, for many years a
subject of contention and discussion
in scientific quarters, has received Its
most serious consideration at the
hands of the International jury of
awards at the Louisiana Purchase Kx
iKwltlon. After several months of
chtse scrutiny of many food samples
and the most careful scleutlAc Investi
gation the jurors uncovered conditions
that are astonishing. According to
Paul Pierce, superintendent of food
exhibits at the fair, the following Is
hu actual breakfast In a working
man's home In Indianapolis: Fried
sausage, colored with aniline red and
adulterated with about 10 per cent of
com grits; apple butter, colored with
anline red aud loaded with glucose;
butter, colored with ao dye and adul
terated with 10 per cent excess of
water; coffee, glazed with a glazing
compound of dextrine and starch, and
colored with brown aniline dye; bread,
cheap, soggy baker's stuff not suffi
ciently bnked and containing glucose
and malt extract; potatoes; gravy,
made from flour, milk and the drip
from colored and adulterated sausage.
This breakfast consisted of seven arti
cles, of which only one potatoes
was normal.
The Immense amount of money giv
en during the last ten years for widely
different objects finds no parallel In
history. It Is true large sums of mon
ey In times past have been given to
the church, aud during the middle ages
what was given to the church Includ
ed education, libraries and charities as
well as religion, but there was nothing
like the lavish outpouring of money
there has been of late, especially In
America. Libraries and universities
have come In for so large a share of
these gifts that the most remote ham
let Is likely to be provided with all
the reading one can desire, while uni
versity privileges reach out to all who
are willing to seize them. What turn
will this fad for giving take next?
The good Impulse Is evidently destined
to continue and to find new channels.
Education Is all right, but even the
capacity to learn has Us limits, and
there are other needs In life besides
brain culture. Scientific Investigation
ought to come in for a large share of
benefit In the future. Each new dis
covery and Invention opens the way
for a demand for others. Much as has
been accomplished of late by way of
scientific research, the field Is endless
and at present demands large sums of
money. There can be no greater boon
to humanity than further success In
the fields opened by Koch, Flnsen,
Ramsay, Becquerel, the Curries and
others, but these Interests cannot be
pursued by scientists to any great ex
tent unless means are generously pro
vided. It is not the part of a republi
can government to foster experiments
or provide means for other than Imme
diate demands, but It Is the privilege
of those gifted with the facility for
money-making or on whom -fortune
lias bestowed her favors to advance
these Interests by generous donations.
It Is something to flud and conquer
new worlds In science, but to be the
patron of these discoverers, to be the
one to enable them to accomplish the
deed is scarcely less honor than Is his
who has the genius for doing It. While
the fad for giving Is on let the sceln
tists have their share of the funds.
A Second Offense.
The tramp arrested for vagrancy
rarely displays any humor, but the
New York Tribune mentions one
whose mild waggishness enlivened his
own trial.
After the Judge had looked the man
over, he said, musingly, "I seem to
know your face."
"Yes," the tramp agreed, pleasantly,
"we were boys together."
"Nonsense!" said the Judge, frown
ing. "But we were,'1 the tramp said, with
mild Insistence. "We're about the
same age. We must a' been boys to
gether." Women go Into boarding houses with
the excuse that they can't find help.
How about the men who don't close
up their places of business because of
the same problem!

A Hint in KicK-Hoillng.
Though it is not generally known, It
la nevertheless a fact, us any medical
man will Inform you, that eggs cov
ered with boiling water and allowed
to stand for live minutes are more
nourishing and much more easily di
gested than eggs which have been
placed in boiling water and allowed to
boll furiously for three or three and
a half minutes. .
To Prevent Flntlrons Sticking.
When ironing starched clothes, rub
a little soap on the hot Iron; It will
prevent the iron sticking and give a

The longest fence In the world Is
probably that which has been erected
by a well-known American entile com
pany along the Mexican border. It Is
seventy-five miles In length, and sep
arates exactly for Its entire distance
the two republics of North America.
The fence was built to keep the cattle
from running across the border and
falling an easy prey to the Mexican
cow punchers? Although it cost a
J great deal of money, It Is estimated
that cattle enough will be saved In
I one year to more than pay for It. '
