The Danger Of 1t.

The most gigantic bubble OF the CEN
tury is the one that has Just burst In
France-De Lesseps' Panama scheme.
For nearly ten yeare 1t has been the
dream of an old man and the folly az.
France. For eight years it.has been a
sieve through which have run the
savings Of hundreds and thousands Of
the French peasantry. AT last the
amount Of money that has been lost
has reached sum almost as gigantic
as the folly itself. Even now that
bankruptcy, Inevitable from the first.
has come, it is impossible to look back
ove the history of the scheme witi,-
out amaZement. It was never prac-
ticable. 1t was undertaken in nppo-
sition to the wishes OF the American
people. who would never have allow
ed the work to go on had the scheme
been practicable. Indeed, now that
the collapse has come, there is reason
to regret that the project was not for
hidden long ago, as in that case much
suffering would have been prevented
that must now attend the catastrophe.
1t is impossible to predict the conse-
quences of this great folly In its down.
fall. Even the French Republic may
go down with the submerged COM
pany. France was pledged to this
work. To secure this pledge and to
retain 1t the Panama Company be-
came the most corrupting corporation
of the century. Deputies and officials
stopped the fiow of gold into the treas
ury of the company and carried it
away by the bucketful. The Tweed
ring afforded mild example of ra-
pacity in comparison with that Of these
French coruorants. They have dis
graced De Lesseps and disgracesl
France. 1t only remains that they
shall be compelled to share in the evil
they have wrought, and IL must be
that the day Of reckoning is near at
hand.
What is De Lesseps going to do
about il? He has already threatened
exposure. There will, Of course, be an
effort to cajole him into silence by fur
ther but insincere promises Of national
aid. 1t Is not likely that he will re-
main blinded much longer. The coll
lapse ought to disabuse even an older
man. The danger to De Lesseps Is
that disappointment will overwhelm
his reason, prostrata
him and perhaps kill him. Tn any
event 1t only needs another Camille
Desmoulins to lead the way to the de-
thronement of corruption, Ms one of
that name nearly hundred J ears ago
led the way from the wine shop In the
Palais Royal to the destruction Of the
Bastile and the dethroDement Of the
King.-Phiiddetphid Times.

No Spoony Absaloms.

The young German Emperor ever
since his accession has been intent of
playing the role of his grandfather At
first he failed to size up to this rather
gigantic part, but William II. has been
able to match William at last. Like
his grandfather before him, he orders
that none of the imperial servants shall
finds the true level of his statesman-
ship. Smooth upper lips in the inn
perial household is the true policy Of
the Fatherland. II is true that Ger
man mousrache, save In exceptional
cases, as that of the young Emperor
himself. Is thing of peculiar beauty,
but peculiar beauty Of hirsute Kind is
not a thing for the cooks and scullions
in the imperial kitchen. That they
should wear door-mats under their
noses big enough for Gambrinus while
his Majesty has onlr a few struggling
hairs of feeble growth on his upper lip
was not in keeping with the dignity oe
the empire and 1t was great stroke OF
razorian statecraft, in every way
worthy Of the old Emperor's grandson,
to sweep them away by stroke Of the
imperial pen.
1t is, however, matter that ought
to be called to the Emperor's 8 attention,
that in following the example Of his
grandfather he Ia also pursuing the
policy of his grandmother. Who ever
heard of moustached footman at
Buckingham Palace or moustacheta
cook at Windsor Castle? All over Eng
land Jeames has close-shaveIl npper

footman that moustache w0tald belit-
tie him as it would bishop Is the
want of moustache that makes SJ6 mes
man. Whether like aesthetic S0ect
will follow the adoption OF the razofiaii
policy in Germany may be doubted.
Nature somehow intended th 9 German
upper lip to be hairy. Indeed, hair Is
to the German people what II was to-
iSamsou--the source OF power. IL IL
lust here that William III, shows his
statecraft. He Is going to reduce the
amount OF his hair 10 the imperial but
L ter without impairing the strength OF
the empire. Bismarck will still wear
his nowerful fnonstache. The Uhla0s
will still cultivate the fierce growths
an their upper lips. It is only this big
moustached fellows who come near the
IittIe-moustached Emperor who are to
be shorn.
That there will be discomfort Is to be
expected. Rat In the end the cook and

A CHAPTER ON BIRDS.

The table given below presents the
date of arrival this year of about one
fifth of the birds that are seen in ST.
JOhnsbury in May. Some of the birds
are not residents of this section but
pass through here in May to Canada or
Northern Maine where they raise their
young and then pass through here
again to the South. Especially is this
true of many of the warblers. The
birds are supposed to arrive in the
might as no one has ever seen them
stravel in the day time. Probably the
rarest bird seen this year is the Cape
May wood warbler, obtained in this
town and now in the possession of
Charles III. Horton. All the Ornitholo-
gists mention this bird as extremely
Rare. Audubon never found one and
his painting was taken from the only
one Wilson ever found. Only one
case is recorded of where the nest
has been found in this country. Below

PerseVering.

The following story is one of the
traditions in manufacturing firm in
Glasgow, Scotland. Thirty years ago
barefOOted, ragged urchin presented
himself before the desk of the princi-
pal partner and asked for work as er-
rand boy.
"There's deal o. rinning to be
dune" said Mr.. Blank, jestingly affect
ing a broad Scotch accent. "YOur
first qualification would be a pair of
shOOn." The boy, with a grave nod
disappeared. He lived by doing odd
jobs in the market and slept under one
of the stalls. Two months passed be-
fore he had saved money to buy the
shoes. Then he presented himself be-
fore Mr.. Blank one morning and held
out package.

"Ohw Mr.. Blank with difficulty re-

You would disgrace. the house"
The boy hesitated a moment and
then went out without a word. Six
months passed before he returned, de-
Gently clothed in coarse but new gar
ments. Mr.. Blanks interest was
aroused. For the first time he looked
at the boy attentively. His thin,
blOOdless face showed that he had
stinted himself of food for months in
order to buy these clothes. The man
ufacturer now questioned the boy close
ly and found, to his regret, that he
could neither read nor write.

Early Chickens.
American Poultry Yard.

We pin our faith to early chickens.
Pullets, if they can be got to lay be-
fore cold weather sets in, will, with
the right kind of care, lay nearly all
winter, but if they do not begin to lay
before cold weather, it is difficult to
get them to begin until the warm days
of spring awaken their reproductive
powers.
There is another phase to the desir-
ability of early chickens. The expe-
Iience of breeder well known TO us is
in point. In recent conversation he
said, "My chief difficulty in breeding
poultry is canker. l can get along
very well with the rest of the ills that
chicken flesh is heir to, but canker-
that is my bane. But one thing have
noticed, and that is that few or none of
my early chickens are attacked by this
disease, while the later broods are very
liable to it. Perhaps the solution of
my difficulty will be to hatch only early
chickens" While others have had a

Calling the Angels In.
BIZ MARaAREr ]. PRESTON.

By MARGARET J.. PRESTON
We mean to do it. Some day, some day,
We mean to slacken this fevered rush
That is wearing very souls away;
And grant to our hearts a hush
That is only enough to let them hear
The footsteps of angels drawing near.
We mean to do it. Oh. never doubt
When the burden of daytime broil is DER,
Wen sit and muse while the stars come out,
AS the patriarchs sat at the door
OF their tents with the heayenward- gazing eye,
To watch for the angels passing by.
We've seen them afar at high nOontide,
When iercely the worlds hot Hastings beat;
Yet never have hidden them turn aside,
And tarry in converse sweet;
Nor prayed them to hallOw the cheer we spread,
To drink of our wine and break our bread
We promise our hearts that when the stress
OF the life-work reaches the longed- for close
When the weight that groan with hinders less
Wen welcome such calm repose
AS baBishes cares disturbing din,
And then-we'll call the angels in.
The day that we dreamed of comes at length,
When, tired of every mocking quest
Aud broken in spirit and shorn of strength,
We drop at the door of rest
And wait and watch as the day wanes on
But-the angels we cant to call. are gone
