Two Bold CompIImentE.

A bold stroke to obtain liberty by
means of a compliment was that made
by M de Maupertius, who when a pris-
oner in Austria was presented to the
empress, who said TO him, "You know
the queen of Sweden, sister to the king of
PrussiaY' Eyes, madame" 81 am told
that she is the most beautiful princess in
the world" Madame" replied the cum
ming prisoner, II always thought SO un-
til now" This was as diplomatic as the
words and action of the Marquis Medina,
a Spanish nobleman.
Queen Elizabeth, who had been admir-
ing his elegance, and complimenting
him on it, at the same time begged to
know who possessed tho heart of so &C
complished a cavalier. Madame" said
he, ga lover risks too much on such an
occasion; but your majesty's will is law.
Excuse me, however, If 1 fear to name
her, but request your majesty's accept
snce of her portrait" He sent her a
looking glass.-London Standard.

German Socialists

The old time socialist howled for .
complete revolution of things and a new
social order, with communal ownership
of land. To gain this mankind must
walk through anarchy, and that was
what the old fashioned socialist advo-
Gated. Behold, now, the modest de-
mands of the new socialists, in ongre
assembled at Erfurt:
Right of suffrage for every man and woman
over twenty-one years; the referendum, some
what as in Switzerland, especially In decisions
for war or peace; abolition of appropriations
by the government to churches, and a complete
secularization OF the schools; militia instead of
a standing army; free schools, free administra-
ton OF Justice and free medical attendance for
all. all money for the government to be raised
by progressive income, capital and inheritance
taxes; national and International legislation
for the eight hour day; improved factory in
spection; the assumption by the state OF the
whole expense OF workingmen's insurance, and
the abolition Of the labor of all children under
fourteen years
The five Berlin delegates who still
preached the former doctrine were sat
upon and silenced, and retired breathing
fire as Of old, declaring the leader Of the
majority that adopted the above mod
crate and conciliatory programme wa q
traitor in pay Of the government.
1t is one of the most complete revolu-
tons of sentiment on record-this change
of the socialists to a party seeking re-
forms certainly, but seeking them by
the peaceable path to the ballot box.
Emperor William is responsible for this
change. Bismarck was the relentless
enemy of the socialists, and would have
put them down by % of his favorite
cement of blood and iron This aroused
all the fury in their natures.
Bismarck disappeared from German
politics. The emperor himself advocated
and inaugurated some of the reforms
the socialists had called for most loudly,
even making it possible for emperor and
socialist to meet on common ground in
the field of ideas, in at least n or two
places. Result, the attitude of the revo-
%lutionists toward the German govern
ment changed. In case of wal there is
no doubt but Emperor William would
find some of those lately his deadliest
enemies transformed into loyal subjects
and soldiers ready to die for Germany at
least, If not for their emperor.
In the programme laid down by the
congress, setting forth the measures
which the law abiding socialists will ad-
vocate by parliamentary means, the
most remarkable is the demand for
woman suffrage. Thus it seems that
woman's rights has broken out in the
last country on earth where it could
have been looked for-Germany. Mean.
time the motto which stretched across
the stage at the congress of these gently
roaring socialists is not a bad one t. re-
member. 1t was this, "rWorkmen of All
Lands, UniteT"

The Best Occupation.

A rich Boston man, 80 1t is said,
wanted to find an occupation for his son.
So he interviewed a number of his
friends, successful men in manufactur-
ing, commerce, or the professions, and
asked their judgment as to his sons
learning the particular occupation of
each one. Each man advised to choose
any work except the one in which he
himself had been successful, anything
but that. Each man said he had not
wanted to learn his business, but he had
no choice, was obliged to take it up and
keep at it. II he had his life to live
over again, or had the liberty Of choice,
he would select something very different.
That which we have not is always so
much better to us than anything we
possess that we are unhappy. The fault
is not in the thing itself. but in the hu-
man being who expects any material
object to satisfy him, when happiness is
not in himself. If it is in himself, then
he can be happy, no matter what he
does for a living, The best work for a
person is that which he likes best and
can do best. If he cannot get it at once
he a in time work up to it. Then he
ought to contemplate the good things in
his lot and be happy,

In reference to the Behring sea seal
arbitration Lord Salisbury says he wants
to show the United States that he will
not abate a jot of British rights, but he
wishes to avoid war with us. He is
right. There must be no war ever be-
tween England and the United States,
1t would put back Anglo-Saxon c~iviliza-
ton and the federation of English
speaking nations a hundred years. In
the rural districts u people have hardly
yet got over the bitterness engendered
by the Revolutionary war, and the same
is true of the more ignorant classes in
Great Britain.

1t does not look well even to be trying
to buy any states from OUR sister repub,
lie of Mexico. If the United States ex,
pressed a wish to buy three Mexican
states, OF course that government, SO
much weaker than ourselves, would feel
under something of a compulsion to
yield her territory, which she would
never willingly do. 1t would be an I'M
generous thing to take advantage of our
greater strength in any way whatever,
so far as Mexico is concerned. We can
turn her into our strongest ally Of this
continent by doing what we can in a
neighborly way to help her and our
selves a. well, increasing trade and with
our capital aiding to develop her enor-
mously rich The time might
possibly come when we would need just
such a friend and ally as Mexico could
be. We want mont of her states. We
want to strengthen trade and amicable
relations with her. That is far better
than grabbing any of her territory from
her even by alleged purchase.

The Craze for Souvenirs.

The popular craze for souvenirs which
now prevails among persons who have
money to spend is spreading in various
directions. Formerly the silver spoon
held undisputed sway, but now there are
souvenir bracelets, souvenir napkin
rings, souvenir buttons and souvenir
fans. The silversmiths are kept busy
getting up new and novel designs, and
each jewelry store Of any Importance
has its souvenir department. Spoons of
course are still in the greatest demand.
One young married woman in this town,
who is an ardent collector of souvenirs,
is the proud possessor of nearly 100
spoons, each representing a city or vii
lage that she has visited.-New York

The nick of timc to stop the course of

the organs concerned exhibit a tendency

toward activity that they receive from
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them

Prof Mott has continued his examinations of baking
powders sold at the present day, and affrms it as his de-
liberate judgment, arrived 1T after most thorough research
and a careful examination Of the principal brands of the
market, that the Royal IS undoubtedly the purest and most
reliable baking powder offered to the public. Prof Mott, in
his report, says:

RELIEVED OF THE IMPEDIMESTS
The law casts 10 the way. The quantity
of land locatahle and purchasable by one
person should be limited, and bnt one
location should be allowed to one person
on the same ledge. All locations should
be plainly marked on the surface aud a
written notice accurately describing
the claim should bs posted at the
center and recorded on the land
records of the county in which the claim
is situated. Title should pass to the 10.
Gator upon proof Of location and occupa-
ton and payment of the price of the
land; application to purchase should be
made without unreasonable delay or the
location forfeited. A claim, whether
held by patent or location merely, not
actually occupied and mined in good
faith, should be held abandoned after the
lapse of reasonable time, aud open to
relocation. No locator should be per.
mitted to twice locate the same ground.
Above all, the law should be simple, GER
tain and uniform in its operation, leaving
as little as possible to construction and
nothing to the district rules. In short,
the mineral lands should be held for le-
gitimate miners, the sht to locate and
purchase and extent of location should
be limited; those who claim the lands
should be required to mine them; those
who do not intend to mine should not be
permitted to obstruct those who do.
