Pitti Sing Does Not Kiss.

Young Japanese girls are as nature made
 them, and very sweet they are, toe, in their
 quaint dresses, showing the plump chest and
 rounded arms. SPages could be written about
 charms. What dear, little dainty little dolls
 they arel Such white teeth, rosy lips, and
 coy smiles! Who shall desorihe themi and
 what next! A kiss, perhaps. Not over here.
 Oh, neverl They never do. They don't know
 how, actually, don't know how, and even
 peasant girls are closely guarded.
 Fancy young man in cotton kimono and
 wooden clogs stealing chance to walk with his best girl under the blooming cherry trees explaining the constellation and quoting sen- tinsntal poetry; telling her that he 'hung upon her eyelids" that Cher voice was like . temple gong" in fact, that he loved but her alone, and then making her several formal bows at the door of her fathers straw -thatch' ed hut as they parted in the moonlight. Gan l any American lover stretch his imagination l enough to believe in . sweetheart net kissing those pretty lips, paint and all, by sort o "natural selsetiona'
 'Tis melancholy fact, but Japanese ha ! no such impulse. No lover courts his mis | treas with "swestest persuasive kisses." N, | mother kisses her baby as she suddles 1 l against her bosom. Parting husband prssse | the hand of his wife and bends his forehead | te the mats in sad farewell. Our solutation | run through the crescsndo of bow, handshake l kiss and kiss. I can't explain the di6srenc in grade between the last two, but everybod. knows. But in Japan the expression of re gard is regulated by the number and lenRtl ! of tlae salaams.

in the shop and work his way up by practice in the business. We will find, if we take the trouble to inquire, that our manufaotur-
 CTS, who have been successful, are those who
 began early in life, and usually with a very
 poor education. So that we have oompara
 lively little hope in keeping our manufac- lures in operation so long as education claims
 the time of the young man during his mi-
 nority. I say education; mean that gained
 from books. think there is a great amount
 of education not found in books that is of
 quite as much advantage to the world to
 help the great multitude to live comfortably
 and enjoy life. To be sure the young man
 who has been through the high school, and
 finished and rounded out his education, if he
 has then life enough left to set himself to
 work, can feel, and I think has @ right to
 feel, that, as 8 man, he stands higher in the
 who paid the bills. But this does not alter
 the fact that experience in the trades Is at
 the bottom of the prosperity of the country.
 So taking all these things into account that
 the tendency of our New England manufao-
 turing is to withdraw South and West, and
 at the same time there is lack of practical young men in the trades to continue business here, it may not be amiss to study economy, or at least pause, consider and make haste slowly in expenditures. Not that I would do anything or advocate any measure that would tend to lessen the present interest in our common schools so far as relates to 6 good English education, which is all that the public can reasonably be required to provide more than this tends to pauperism, con- sciousness of dependence on the public, which is unmanly and huniliating to an in. dependent mind.

REPUBLICAN PoLICY,


 Republicans all over the country will be interested in the three issues pointed out by the New York Tribune as part of the policy which the Republican party should adopt. They are:
 The promotion of closer and more sympa, thetic relations with the governments of Gen. tral and South America. This Is the Monroe doctrine adapted to new conditions of Amer ioan progress. Great and prosperous States have been established and even the smallest republics have been delivered from fear of foreign invasion and colonization. The in- terests of all these growing industrial com- munities are bound up with those of the United States. Here is the most profitable market for their natural products, and in return they have to offer the most available distribution points, outside of your own territories, for American manufactures. The restoration of the American eommer- cial marine. This follows as the corollary to the preceding proposition, but 1t is not limit ed in it's scope to improvement of trade with Central and South American countries. If the United States is to carry out the Monroe doc- Urine to It's logical results, or to derive any practical benefit from the approaching cons grsas, 1t must provide facilities for rapid communication with and direct transporta- ton of merchandise to and from those coun- tries. It is within the power of congress to revive American commerce in the Atlantic and the Pacific and thereby to renew tho tra- ditional policy of earlier generations. Tho rapid development of the American navy and the acquisition of ooaling stations | at defensible points. The restoration of the commercial marine involves the necessity oi defending 1t by means of modern feet oi fast cruisers and improved battle ships. The work of producing such navy has barely been begun, and the construction of only one class of vessels has been seriously undertaken fish models and mechanism. Until the open ing of the oivil war American inventive gen jus was unohallenged in naval architecture There is no reason to believe that it is incap able now of designing battle ships and harbo defence batteries superior to anything that ii seen in European navies. The country re- quires q navy that is the product of the bes
 American inventive genius and meohanica
 skill-one that will protect the restored com
 mercial marine, the seaboards and such coal
 ing stations as may be rendered necessary b,
 the altered conditions of high speed and rapi,
 consumption of fuel.

 Judge Melville 0. Brown, the president of the Wyoming constitutional convention, is
 very heartily in favor of woman suffrage.
 He says: My observation of the workings of
 woman suffrage, extending over period of fifteen years, satisfies me of it's entire justice
 and propriety. Impartial observation has
 also satisfied me that in the use of the bal-
 lot women exercise fully as good judgment
 as men, and in some particulars are more
 discriminating, as, for instance, on questions
 of morals. You further ask, "Has it @ de-
 grading infuence." Again, answer posi-
 lively, no-a very loud no. should laugh
 at this last question if it were not asked in
 such evident good faith. Just think of the ridioulousness of it. My wife goes with me to the theater, the opera, to church and prayer meeting. We also associate in the family circle from day to day, without ap- parent injury to her. She al so takes my
 arm and we walk to the polls together and deposit our ballots. Isn't it ridiculous to suppose that our association in the latter act would be more injurious than in the former. Great regret has been caused in the scien- ti6c circles of Berlin by the death of Robert Won Helmholts, who promised to share the | renown of his illustrious father. His life | was almost martyrdom. He was afflicted | from his birth with curvature of the spine, ] which prevented his full physical develops | ment. Despite his defects he studied at the 1 universities of Berlin and Heidelberg, evino- | ing the great intellectual power which crip- ! pies often show. His associations with Bun.
 sen and KirehhoH, the discoverers of spec- trum analysis were most intimate owing to his own worth and the friendship between
 his father and the two celebrities. In 1883 he was graduated from Berlin with the de- gree of Ph. D. He published at once series | of articles upon steam expansion, which | aroused the admiration of the scientific physics. His "Reminiscences of Kirohhof, , ! which appeared in the 'sRundschau," ;" recent 1 ly, proved that he had inherited his fathers
 masterful style. He also made original and valuable contributions on the nature and
 composition of the fog. One paper in speak

 having made himself an immortal name to \ the scientific world"

FOOLISH FEAR.


 Some of the disappointed and shortsighted opponents of the free text book ticket are still protesting to have much fear concern ing what is going to result from the election of that ticket. They probably know better, but they feel obliged to "keep it up." They will have their labor for their pains. The gentlemen who were elected Monday are not going through our school system like cy- clone. They will deliberate before they act, and act carefully. They are thoroughly capable of understanding the business that comes before the board and thoroughly capa- ble of taking judicious part in dealing with it. The public can, we believe, feel sure of one thing, and that is that there will be no more secrecy in the doings of the board The new members do not believe in secret committee work, and they do believe that the whole board has right to know what ii done and why, and the public also. It will be time enough for the croakers to croal when the new members fail in their duty te the schools and the public. They will mol do thia

A BIG THING.

An English coal trust, which is in process of formation, will be the biggest thing of the kind ever started, except the Standard Oil Company. This gigan- tic monopoly is starting with the enor- nous capital of El00,000,000, it is claimed, or, in American money, about $4S7, 100000, The money, it is stated, is ready to be put up, and the plans are all arranged. Every coal mine in the country is to be bought up, and the prices regulated upon the proceeds of sales, which will be pooled Not de tail is omitted which can make 1t sue cess. The miners are to be encouraged to work for low wages on the under 7tanding that they will share the profits when they are high enough to make such an arrangement possible. Thls proft-sharing scheme is the attractive one for capitalist sympatLizers with the poor workingman." Make him sharer of the profits, and all will be well until he gets over his delusion, and then others will be anxious to share profits with the big company.
