But there is one thing to have been
noticed about Japan of late, thing that
seems to have rather escaped notice
Japan is trembling. In the glowing
moment Of her supreme victories, in the
long hour of her almost unprecedented
run of luck, does it seem more stupid
or more impertinent to speak Of Japan
as being a-tremblef The laws of
some countries hold that truth is no
libel. The laws of other countries
hold that truth is the greatest libel.

ing libel according to the country
by whose laws may be judged. Most

No other word so truly adjectives Japan
as does the word trembling.
This is the age Of earthquakes AL
most daily the papers record the up
heaval Of some part or other Of the
world. And earthquakes are Incoming
almost common where they used to be
nearly or quite unheard of. Japan, as
far as we know, always has been, and
probably always will be, the stronghold
Of earthquakes. That inscrutable some
one whom some Of us call God that in
scrutable something which some of us
call fate; that inscrutable some one or
something of which the bravest of us,

FIsHeRMEN,s NETS.
Most Of Them Made by Machine Nowa-
days-Their Many Uses.


Most fishermen's nets nowadays are
made by machinery, excepting the small
round crab nets and dip nets, and bait
nets that sportsmen use. These are made
by hand, for the machines cannot make
anything but straight fat web. Many
larger circular nets, however, arc con-
structed from machine made netting,
out up.
Machines have been used generally in
netmaidng for about 80 years. Before
that nets were knitted In the families OF
the fishermen. Some fishermen ON the
Atlantic coast still make their own nets,
and on ono part of the Pacific coast
there is close union Of fishermen using
nets mado by hand. but factory made
nets have displaced most nets Of do

There are six netting factories in the
United States, all on the Atlantic coast.
Carload lots of nets are not uncommon
shipments from this coast to the Pacific,
and the same is true of netting twine
Nets are made Of various sizes of
thread or Irvine, in any size mesh de-
sired, and they can be made of any
length, but nets of certain kinds are
made commonly in certain lengths, and
then joined together If greater length be
desired. In this way nets have been set
in the great lakes in one straight string
of II miles. Nets three or four miles
long are not unusual there. Such nets
are fshed with steamboats,.

The Man In the Iron Mask.

The registry of the Bastille contains
the entry: ION Thursday, Sept. 1S,

Of the Bastille, arrived to take up his
duties, coming from his post at the lies

clearly traced. The fifth must be Mat

was buried ON Nov. 30 in the cemetery
of ST. Paul. M. Bertrand of the French
foreign office has examined the registry
of burials and finds the name Mattioli

Pompadour that tho prisoner was an

Louis XVI assured Marie Antoinette,
on the authority of Maurepas, that the
man was q dangerous intriguer, sub
iect of the Duke Of Mantua, who had
been arrested at the frontier and impris-

Bastille. The evidence seems conclusive,

Who creeps and crouches ever ON loves path.

But watches, patient, tireless even as deat h.

had gone down to my village to
work, to get that local color which is
supposed to be so necessary to sound flc-
ton. At the end of a fortnight had
not written, at the most generous COM
putation, more than dozen pages, and
had grown very brown and a trifie
melancholy. The cottage in which l
lived lay broadside to the village street.
and this, under the clear sunlight. had
such lazy and pleasant aspect that /
was content to sit and watch it while
the ink dried on my pen. When this
simple occupation failed me, / sat on a
fence overlooking a sloping meadow.
Beyond the meadow was climbing,
scattered wood, which ended in an
open, sunbaked heath.
AS sat ON this fence one day / saw,
far up ON the edge of the heath, hat
and ribbons that I recognized. They
belonged to girl whom had met at q
dinner party a couple of months before.

and we rapidly hit upon so many points
of divergence and agreement that we
soon assumed the candor of old friends.
l had not discovered then that she knew
my village. Indeed we were both I'M
disguisedly surprised when we one day
came face to face by the postoffice
steps. / then learned that she had come
down with her mother, a younger broth
or and maiden aunt.
After that we were continually meet
ing, quite unexpectedly, and began
to feel reconciled to my meager produc-
ton.
/ watched the hat and ribbons for n
time placidly, in profound enjoyment of
my morning pipe. When it was finished,
/ knocked out the ashes, dropped ON the
meadow side of the fence and began
leisurely to wade through the grass. 1t
was evident, from the extraordinary
stiffness of the ribbons, that Miss Bur-
sar was either reading or asleep.
I could not keep my point of destina-
ton in full sight the whole time, be-
cause the ground was perplexingly un-
even, and the trees were sometimes as
impervious as wall, but l made as
straight line as could and rather be-
gan to fancy myself in the character OF
a slow but inevitable fate. This idea
had commenced to spin itself into a web
of sentimental verse, when l became
aware of Miss Bursar herself within six
yards of me. She had an open book ON
her lap, but her eyes were turned on me.

people who are troubled with indigestion.
Particularly for those in whom 1t manifests
itself in the form of constipation. The
"Pellets" are quick and easy in their action.
They are in perfect harmony with Nature:
They effect a permanent cure. You need
take them regularly only little while.
After that, use them occasionally when you
need them when you have eaten some
thing that disagrees with you. They are not
violent in their effect do not derange the
system at all, and may be taken just as
freely as you would take water or any
other necessity of life. Once used they
are always in favor. You can get the
"Pellets" at any drug store. If you are
careless enough to let an INSCRIPTIONS
druggist sell you something on which he
makes more money, it is your own fault
If you do not get well.

tools "there," and use it to keep
them sharp while there.
Jay Gould spent million dollars
in one campaign. He testified TO
having used hundreds of thousands
of dollars in four States.
Such power is a most deadly
menace to free institutions, and
should be combatted as the crown
ing evil of the 10Th century.
The railroad presidents have far
more patronage at their disposal
than the president of the United
States. The salaries of leading
railroad officials range from $3.50
to SI5O,000; compare this with,
from $1,000 to $4,000 for United
States government officials. Do
you catch the difference. The dan
ger from railroad corporations now,
is their power to bribe, whereas,
the danger with government owner
ship would be the votes OF employ
ees, for the party in power. This
would be regulated by strict civil
service rules as the army and pos
tai system is, and further, could
any sane person tear the votes of
seven hundred thousand men
against thirteen millions?
The idea of governmental owner
ship is not wild PopuliStic idea
as some would say, but is sound
principle of government, as old as
the railroads themselves. Outside
of America, there are no nations
OF consequence but Turkey, Spain
and England, that do not own
wholly or in part their railroad sys-
TEN.
The countries owning their roads
know nothing of the curse of dis
elimination by which one industry
is built up at the expense of aEoth-
er ; towns and cities are built and
destroyed at the pleasure OF rail-
road kings, and by which mOnOpO-
poles and trusts are drawing into
their Golfers the whole wealth OF
the country.
Now few of the arguments for
government ownership briefly sta
ted.
The passenger rates could be re-
duced to one half Il cent per mile,
and freight rates would be decreas-
ed in equal proportions.
The producer and consumer
would be equally benefited by this
system.
Railroad advantages would ex-
tend to every citizen in the Repub-
lie, just as the postal system, which
is almost absolutely perfect.
TheconditiOn of employees would
be bettered by increased wages,
shorter hours, and freedom from ty-
ranical control.
The people would save seven
hundred million dollars every year,
which is more than is spent for
bread and meat, and would be
enough to place glittering gold
plate OH every railroad track in
America.
The lives of enough people would
be saved to populate whole dis
trict, and twenty towns like Match
itOches.
Gambling, fraud and corruption
would be diminished, and the NOR.
al condition of the nation proper
tiOnately raised.
1t would check the Capitalization
of wealth in the few hands, which
has destroyed every republic that
ever went down.
AS Garfield said, "The people
must own the corporations, or the
corporations will own the people"
