The HoKE SMITHS Atlanta newspaper
has drawn some attention to itself in Wash
| ington by printing an article proposing n
| certain programme for the settlement OF
the silver question, and asserting that this
programme Is favored by the Administra-
| tiOn. Persons assume that Mr.. HOKE
| SMITH. the Editor. has the confidence of the
Hon. hoKE SMITH, the Secretary of the In
terror. and that the Hon. HoKE SMITH has
the confidence Of the Administration. The
former Of these assertions is correct There
Is no doubt that the two HoKE SMITHS are
on terms OF affectionate intimacy. The
main purpose CT the Editor Is to record from
day to day the things which are said about
the size and loveliness OF the Secretary. In
parts Of Georgia where the art OF political
perspective is not thoroughly understood.
the utterances OF tho Editor. even upon
other topics than the Secretary, are re-
garded with reverence. Tho true relation
OF the Secretary to Mr.. CLEVELAND, that OF
an industrious though rather obscure clerk
to the head OF the house, is not discovered,
OF course, by the Editor.
This Editor gives tho Secretary n good
deal OF trouble. No sooner does Editor
HOKE publish an article pretending to dis
close the policy OF the Administration. than
Secretary HoKE has to rush about like II
pea on a hot griddle and deny that he has
any control OF the policy Of the newspaper.
The Secretary knows that his Chief likes to
maintain discipline: and tho revelation of
Cabinet secrets. real or imaginary. would
be grave breach OF discipline. The Wash
ington correspondence Of the Erening Post
contains an amusing picture OF the Secre-
tary denying the Editor:

We do not believe that Mexico could be
induced to establish a protectorate over the
five republics OF Central America. President
DIAz has plenty to do In his own country. 1t
would need an army Of so. 600 Mexicans to pre-
servo order in the bloodthirsty republics and
to keep them from fighting each other. 1t
would bankrupt the Mexican treasury and
ruin Mexico. Besides, the Government Of the
United States would have something to say In

FREQ from danger to human beings. When he
inoculated rabbits and guinea pigs with this

four hours: and he has come to the conclusion
that 1t is dangerous for ladies to indulge In
the habit OF kissing their cats The old maids
OF Italy are therefore warned against 1t.

The Earliest English Almanac.

The earliest English printed almanac Is
the calendar Of Shepardes, of the Fifteenth
century But many almanacs must have
come into existence when Queen Elizabeth
gave the monopoly of publishing them to
two members of the Stationers' company.
King James afterward extended the patent
to include the company in its corporate ca-
pacity and the two universities, which last
assigned their rights for IL yearly considera-
tfon to the company.
But with the civil war the monopoly was
broken through. Oxford, where the king
chiefly resided, might issue its loyal alma
nucs, but the more popular and widely cir.
culated was the almanac OF William Lilley
the astrologer, first Issued for 1913, under
the title, "Merlini Anglici Ephemeris. T"
The English Merlin Is to be credited with
the foresight of getting upon the winning
side and prophesying boldly, for the parlia
ment was presently justified by the over
whelming victories Of his party. In the
issue of The Ephemeris for lGi1 the prophet,
writing in October, 1916, launched ont into
a bold pHan of victory: "A world since
this time twelve monthsl Townes and cities
taken or surrendered, armies royale routed,
tho parliament forces ubicunque, victori
Gus, his majesty distressed, the prince fed
beyond the sea"
He does not hesitate to show how the ap-
preaching conjunction Of Mars and Jupiter
presages still further calamity for the royal
head. But his triumph does not make the
prophet magnanimous. He has no words
too scornful for rival seer who has en-
deavored to find encouragement in the stars
for the losing side.-All the Year Round.

collect every day In the year about |, 200
tons of merchandise, which they sell to the
wholesale rag dealers for some 10, 600 francs
At night you see men with baskets strapped
on their backs, a lantern in one hand and
in the other u stick with an iron hook on
the end. They walk along rapidly, their
eyes fixed on the ground, over which the
lantern hings a sheet of light and what
ever they find in the way of paper, rags
bones, grease, metal, etc, they stow away
in their baskets. In the morning in front
OF each house you see men, women and
children sitting the dustbins before they
are emptied into the scavengers' carts,
At various hours of the day you may re
mark isolated regpckers, who seem to
work with less method than the others and
with more independent air. The night
picllers are generally noyices-men who,
having been thrown out of work, are
obliged to hunt for their living like the
wild beasts. The morning pickers are ex
perieneed and regular workers, who pay
for tho privilege of sitting the dustbins OF
certain number of houses and of trading
with the results. The rest the majority,
are the coureurs, the runners. who exercise
their profession freely and without control,

The Greeks We're capable Of much poetical
pessimism. They saw the vanity of things
as plainly as Gotarna did, but they also saw
the pleasure of proelaiming this vanity in
sonorous heXamcters or musical eiegigcs.
To give everything up because you cannot
enjoy everything forever would not have
entered into their very sound brains and
healthy nervous systems. Buddha knew
this, knew that hank ind was light minded,
child pursuing n bird But in the slack
and demoralizing climate Of India he found
countless disciples, Most Of them, perhaps
cling to the Brahamic survivals in Bud
dhsm, the gods, the fairy tales, more close
ly than to the doctrine Of renunciation.
It isa hospitabla religion and has many
mansions But it did aim at doing away
with the sacretlness of caste, at proving all
men to be equally human, equally capable,
rs far as social distinctions go, OF moral
excellence In this view, where Buddhism
most directly reacts against Brahminism.
1t he's NOT been success. The caste sys-
tenn in all its Indian mnutcness has sur
viYed the Buddhist doctrine ABuddha for
tho soul and tho gods for the world" an
old Cingalese saying, still exists in that
popular superstition, Human nature can
not be boxed up in a system.-London
