Appeal by the Panama Directors.

PARIS, June 9.-Thc court of cessation
is giving Il hearing to the appeals in be-
half of the convicted Panama directors
and their associates. The appeals are
based on the plea that the acts alleged to
have been of IL criminal character had
been committed more than three years be-
fore proceedings had been instituted against
the defendants, and that the lapse of time,
under the law of prescription, relieved the
defendants from liability to punishment
As Henri Cottu was absent, not having
surrendered himself, as required by French
law before his appeal could he considered,
the court of cessation ignored the appeal
in his case.

GENUINE HOSPITALITY.

Vaat to Do to Make Ones Guests Feel at
Home.
A great deal has been written about
fle need Of young housekeepers hoard
;ng their means and the folly of enter
tanning too many guests. 1t is perfectly
true that n great number of visitors may
he II serious drain on the resources of a
family of limited means. 1t is also equal
ly true that those who do not entertain
their friends become narrow and selfish
in their ideas, and that there is nothing
chat tends to broaden the heart and mind
so much as genuine, disinterested friend
ship.
Sometimes spirit of niggardliness,
thinks the New York Tribune. prevents
the family from receiving their friends,
but more often it is spirit of mean
pride-a desire to make more lavish
display than our means will permit.
There is no hospitality in display be-
yond our means. And this deceives no
one, least of all our friends, who are
likely to be acquainted with our means
and are likely also, if sensible persons,
to be embarrassed by our extravaganza
rather than complimented by it. If we
would be true hosts, we must live true
lives day by day, so that we shall not be
ashamed to set a plate at our table at
any time for the passing guest.
We must, in the homely old phrase
that has such ring of true hospitality
about it, "make our friends at home"
In order to do this we need not set up
gorgeous table and deck out our house
in rivalry to their own, but receive them
without formality or show, but with
that true hospitality of the heart which
is appreciated by the genuine and true.
Even if we have only dinner of herbs
to offer to our guest, if it be served in
the spirit of true hospitality it will be
better than stalled OK where pride and
envy is, and with them the spirit of con-
tention.
The spirit of the true host is not gov
erned by his wealth. The truest hospi-
tality may be found as often in the sim
pie cottage as i'll the stately mansion. 1t
has naught to do with external state.
The genuine friend is always a true host,
he he poor or rich. The false and pre-
tentious woman or man is incapable of
true hospitality. They may dwell in
lordly halls and welcome their friends
with baronial splendor, but the ring OF
friendship is not i'll their voice. They
are thinking more of dazzling their guest
with their own Importance than of min
istering to his welfare. The true hostess
is forgetful of herself III the care of her
guests though she never burdens them
with her care. She rather seeks to min
lister to their needs iii SO quiet manner
that they do not feel that they are the
cause of extra trouble.

a New 1ouster.

A toaster that will allow of the bread
being toasted on both sides without
being removed or handled after being
once fixed is indeed novelty. Such
continuance has lately been introduced
to the house furnishing trade which has
this advantage and also does away with
the prongs of the ordinary toasting fork.
Instead of these tines a clip somewhat
resembling a spring clothespin is pro-
vided to hold the bread in place. To
reverse the bread it is only necessary to
turn the toaster top side down, and the
bread swings over its untoasted side
toward the fire

MORE AND BETTER BUILDINGS.

Death is great object lesson. The
awful disaster at Washington whereby
over score of men were killed and
three score marked for life will prob
ably induce the new Congress TO heed
repeated warnings and provide the
richest government in thu world with
suitable structures in which to transact
its business.
There are over 5000 employees in the
Government printing office, building
condemned as unsafe so repeatedly that
it is q wonder any Congress could have
failed to appropriate money for new
one.
Scattered all over Washington are
dozen structures rented by the Govern
ment at heavy figures because Congress
preferred to legislate money into the
baokwoods and throw it to the dogs
rather than house the Governments
own employees dec sntly.
The money order otfics OF the Post
Office Department is in six story trap
which has already shown signs OF cav
ing. TIE sixth auditors office has
recently been moved from wooden
death trap, whose unsanitary condition
has ruiueo the health of a score of
clerks, into better brick structure, but
one Of ins tflcient strength to carry it's
heavy records.
The city postoffice aud the mail bag
repair shop are also in rented buildings.
Tho in tor. Sto 70 comrna-co commentaries
the Pan-American commission, the
geological survey, the census office,
the bureau of statistics, the fish COM
mission, the second auditor, the signal
Office, the war record office, the navy
pay office, the naval dispensaryt and
museum of hygiene, tine Office of super
intendent of foreign mails, United
States pension agency, Office OF Indian
affairs, Office of education and the de-
partment of labor are all in rented
buildings, and the aggregate rent
amounts to not less than 6 per cent. on
$1,000, 900. The Government can place
bonds at 3 per cent. All pays a pre-.
MUM on bonds that brings their in erest
value even lower.
Within ten years the work OF the
pension office will be 30 reduced that
several bureaus can be transferred from
the Interior Department to the much
needed relief Of the patent Office, which
needs q whole building to itself But
the Postotfice Department is already in
