Paper.

A prodigious quantity Of high class pa
per having the label Linen" affixed to it
has for years been upon the market. 1t is,
of course, the best paper known, but there
is really no paper made wholly of linen,
excepting rs it is produced for special pur-
poses, such as for bonds, etc. The best Ia
per is made of linen and new cotton rags
in about equal proportions. Tho cleansing
Of tho rags and the bleaching Of the pulp
nowadays receive extraordinary care--thc
cleaner the rags the less necessity for chem
icals, and, therefore, with new rags, such
as clippings OF new cloth from factories of
certain kinds, the quantity of chemicals
needed is insignificant, and these rags,
having neither absorbed much of them nor
suffered from their action, make of course
She best paper, for the failure to remove or
kill the bleach would injurc the paper
and hay u deleterious effect upon ink.
The further, therefore, the material is re-
moved from new, clean rags, the further
must be the product from the best writing
paper.-New York Sun.

Women as Eaters.

1t might be an entertaining thing to ex-
patiate upon the growth of the feminine
appetite. A century since a woman was
not supposed to care for food, and not
Byron alone would have been disguised at
any display Of hunger on the part of a sex
who, like Malvina Fitz-Allen, seemed to
exist merely on Strawberries and cream.
Nor is the complaint, made only a few
years ago, that a woman in a restaurant
always called for ices and cakes longer a
fact. Women have learned the merits or
the necessity of proper food, and it Is a
sight to do the doctors heart good to watch
their sensible selection of nutritious dishes
and their enjoyment of them. This is true
even of 'the silly age" A group of girls
does not finger over fancy desserts, but ap-
plies itself to soups and chops and salads.
Surely this must count for something in
the development physically and mentally
Of the race.-New York Times.

CREAMERY Warnings.

In the crop bulletin of the State board
OF agriculture just issued Mr.. McKeen,
secretary of the board says:
No QUE is more alive to the welfare of
the dairying interests of our State than
we are or more keenly aware of the bene-
fits to be derived from the establishing of
creameries on a permanent basis in local.
Ties where they are not already placed
u from facts which have come to us by
observation and in other ways we have
felt to warn our people against invest
Ing money in any enterprise of
this kind until they were fully
prepared to make it q success. And
particularly, have we felt to warn them
against certain western parties who are
e~ndeavoring to start creameries in our
State on the SO called Elgin plan. We
have lately published and caused to be
distributed a warning circular which is
made up OF quotations from many of the
leading dairy papers of our country, every
n OF which Is more emphatic in its de
nunciation Of the course of what they are
pleased to term swindlers than we have
ever been. We have several copies of this
circular still left and shall be glad to for
ward one or more to any one who will in
dictate that he would like to receive them.
We append the remarks of our correspon-
dents, on live stock and other matters, ar
ranged by counties, and think they will
be found especially valuable.

An Effort TO Arrange for l~nterscholastic Foot
Ball Contests.

Those interested in interscholastic ath-
letics in Maine are %endeavoring to improve
upon last falls experiences In football.
There is really on good reason why a cred.
liable series Of these games cannot be play

already taken this will be done. A com.
mittee OF five, the members of which are
assurance Of good management, has been
appointed, to have charge Of the football
contests for the Wright & Ditson pennant
and trophy to be played for by the
fitting school teams of the State. The
awarding Of the prizes and the entire
control of contests have been placed in
the hands of the committee, which is
made up as follows: W. F. Garcelon, a
graduate Of Bates and a prominent ath-
lete of Lewiston; DR.. F. n. Whittier, a
graduate of Bowdoin college and director
OF the Sargent gymnasium there; Byron
Boyd of Augusta, a Colby graduate and
now deputy secretary of State; George V.
5. Michaelis of the Boston Journal and

the teams in the State to meet at Bruins
wick and arrange the details.

Starch.

Economic starch in the following way:
Instead Of throwing away the starch which
is used for making cold starch, let it stand,
after using, and settle in the bottom of q
clean bowl. When the water is clear above

cover the bowl to keep the dust away, and
this starch is ready for use the next time it
Is. required. OF course, it is sometimes
necessary to add a little more to it.

Philologists are somewhat at loss to Sc
lect an exact term to distinguish the pres
ent period from those that have preceded
it, and a great many suggestions have been
made. IL has been urged that this is the
electrical age: also the era Of rapid transit.
Many other notions have been advanced.
but none seems more forcible than the idea
that this shall be known the camera
epoch in our national development. So far
has the camera enthusiasm progressed that
the lens and shutter are beginning to super
sede the sportsmans shotgun and rifle. A
recent issue of the American Journal of
Photography says that there are now many
hunters out in the Maine woods armed with
magazine cameras instead of guns, working
for the chance to get snap shots at moose
and other wild game. 1t is said to require
quite as much skill. and often more. to get
within focusing distance as within shooting
range This may be all very well for the
Maine woods. but the fad will never be
worked to perfection until some venture

and go out into the mountain regions of

Chinese diplomacy in recent dealings with
Japan will probably cost the celestial en-
pire a great deal In money and men. Had
the Chinese government been sincere in
it's declarations Of desire for immediate
peace the war would by this time be over,
but for some reason or other-not clearly
apparent at this time-diplomatic manoeuv
ering was resorted to, and it's outcome has
been delay that does not seem to be worth
anything and an expensively-fatal defeat
of the Chinese forces in and around Wei
Hai-Wei. There was time since Japan and
China commenced to war with each other
when China might have made a graceful
retrograde movement, and by 80 doing
have saved itself much of material and
sentimental damage, but Chinese states
manship failed to take advantage of the
opportunity. and the consequences have
been most disastrous not only to Chinese
arms, but also to Chinese prestige among
the civilized nations.

Among the many things to be considered
by the conference committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill is the
Ser ate amendment increasing the pay of
the ambulance. patrol and van drivers to
5000 a year each. This sum is small enough
to escape the condemnation of even the
most picayune of congressional economists
and will surely be provided for when the
measure becomes a law. In other cities
men performing similar service receive
from $50 to $50 per month, so there can be
TO reasonable objection to giving the local
drivers the minimum rate. The men them
selves in their petitions have shown the
necessity for the increase; the District
Commissioners have unanimously recon-
N, nded favorable action on the amend
hent-which was offered by Senator PETER;
the Senate committee on appropriations
made the amendment it's own and will
take it into conference. 1t should go
through without any difficulty whatever.

The men with gold to lend say to the
government that they will loan it at three
per cent If the interest Is made payable in
gold, and at three and three-quarters per
cent IL the interest is payable in coin, for
in the latter case silver may be rendered
them. If the loan Is finally perfected at
three and three-quarters per cent the lend
ers must of course be paid their interest in
silver, for they have themselves made
discrimination to the extent Of three-quar
ters Of one per cent between gold bond
and a coin bond. and have protected them
selves in advance against payment in the
cheaper metal by the exaction Of a. higher
rate of interest. 1t will be impossible to
say in respect to these bonds that gold
and Coin are synonymous, for the money
lenders have themselves made the dis
elimination, and announced that only gold
means gold and three per cent interest.
and that coin means silver and three and
three-quarterS per cent interest. The
United States ought not to pay more than
three per cent, If, in fact, it Is going to pay
the interest in gold, no matter whether the
word gold or the word coin is used in the
bonds. The administration should see to
this in it's negotiations for the loan, for it
is very evident that Congress will not
legislate.

Organizations and individuals devoted to
the amelioratiOn of human suffering In the
District of Columbia have done and are
doing very credltable work. but they are
still much hampered by a lack of funds.
There is now more of misery than has ex-
listed at any time since winter began and
while Westinghouse have. as general
proposition, done nobly in behalf Of the
suffering poor, they cannot and will not
now close their eyes to conditions the like
Of which are but rarely to be found in this
neighborhood. 1t may be that many of
those who have been practically con-
cerned for the at least temporary comfort
of their less fortunate neighbors have dis
bursed their surplus; for that they Will
undoubtedly be rewarded, but they should
appreciate the fact that the very essence
in the pleasure of giving has it's existence
in self-sacrifice; they should taste Of the
sweetness consequent upon deprivation for
the welfare of others; those who have
comfortable homes and little more than
a mere sufficiency of food and clothing
should think of the thousands who have
stances. are so situated without fault Of
their own. 1t may be possible to give only
a little, but there should be no hesitancy
on that account; the main point Is to give
speedily and as frequently as possible, and
if the giving shall deprive the donor of
some non-essential, some luxury, then will
the charity be so much the more creditable.
Truly has it been said that We are rich
only through what we give; and poor only
through what We refuse and keep.

Criticism of President Clevelands latest
financial message and of the policy which
il outlines and represents is easy enough to
those who are bourd to find fault with
everything the administration does, but
the calm business mind does not discover
how, in the absence of legislative action. the
President could do otherwise than he has
done and is doing for the preservation of
the nations credit The inability of Con-
gress to take action was evident to the
civilized world; something had to be done
and the one thing possible to the execu-
tive branch of the government was just
the thing that the President has done. If
his procedure has been and is improper it
is in the power of Congress to make statu-
tory declaration to that effect, but Con-
gress has insis tently refrained from giving
expression to it's views-if it has any. In
stead of making a target of President
Cleveland for authorizing bond issues he
should be credited with having done the
only thing he g empowered to do in sucn
a situation as now exists; if he is in any
sense blameworthy it Is because the bond
issues have not been large enough 1t may
reasonably be asserted that issues of S5o,-
100000 are too small to work the desired
financial changes; what is needed is a bond
issue of sufficient magnitude and so nego-
tiated as to bring back from Europe not
less than slOO,OOOOO0 of American gold.
That Congress will accede to the Presi-
dents request for authority to change the
character of the latest issue of bonds so as
to effect considerable saving in the matter
OF interest is not at all probable. When
there Is indubitable evidence of Congress
sional indifference or adverse belief the
President should take the bull by the horns
and do most thoroughly that which he has
sought to do by the comparatively small
bOnd-iS5ueS.

his native heath In interesting attitudes.
Such pictures would undoubtedly be most
entertaining and would probably be OF
great value to science in showing the habits
Of life and thought Of the grizzly and his
companions. As far as can be ascertained,
however. the grizzly, like the Chinaman,
has an antipathy to being photographed
and has never yet been found to be docile
subject for the camera. There Is we'll
founded belief that he Is as restless and
hard to induce to 'look pleasant as the
average infant when taken to the gallery
by fond parents and Is inclined, moreover,
to be a trifie more belligerent. There are
several characteristics that would be es-
sential for the photographer who essays to
secure such photographs. A quick eye and
a steady hand, in the first place. would be
needed to manage the camera, but most Of
all would be required an unerring judg-
ment as to when to run and legs capable Of
instant response. There are possibilities in
this new notion of the cameraists that are
worth thinking about and developing.

Americans will not split hairs over the
amount of protection to be extended py
the government to Americans BLOOD Is
thicker than water. The administration
will be sustained by the people In going
just as far as 1t legally can In causing the
two Americans among the Hawaiian revo-
lutionists to be justly and reasonably
dealt with. 1t Is unfortunate that the
government has tied its own hands in this
matter by declaring that citizens of the
United States by participation In Hawaiian
civil connections either on one side or the
other forfeit their right in that regard to
the protection of the American flag. and
this wholesale reputation OF Hawaiian
Americans has been defended and upheld
by the administrators supporters in the
Senate within very few days. The exist
ing government of Hawaii is composed
largely of Americans IL represents Amer-
can interests and aspirations in the ISL
ands. 1t is moving toward annexation to
the United States, and 1t has the active
sympathy of the bulk Of this republics
population. Unless annexation is hopeless,
Ii Is reasonably certain that the hawaiian
government will do nothing to ALLEVIATE
American sympathy and support. IT, how
ever, our government definitely and ire
vocably rejects the annexation advances,
threatens with forfeiture of American
rights any who fight to maintain the ex-
istence OF the Hawaiian republic, and is
with difficulty restrained from aiding Ha-
wallis royalist. British and Asiatic enemies.
the Americans who constitute the Hawaiian
government, abandoned by their kin, must
fight for their lives and property by meth
DDS that will be effective, even though of
barbarous simplicity and severity. But the
Americans in Hawaii must not be aban-
doned-neither the many republicans. nor
the two royalists. The suggestion of the
United States to the republic which will
doubtless before long be annexed to 1t or
under it's avowed protection Is to temper
Justice with mercy. The murderer of Car
ter should suffer capital punishment. But
the death sentences in the cases of those
who conspired against the government and
no shots and did no damage, could expe-
diently be suspended. as long as the con-
victed remained away from Hawaii, or be
committed into some other form of pun
ishment. OF course, IL the Hawaiian gov
eminent took this course at the suggestion
of the United States there would be in
volved a certain obligation of protection
at least on the part of the latter to the
former, and a complete abandonment CT
the administrators policy of non-interven-
ton when the interests of the island re-
public would be advanced thereby, and of
medGlesome, hostile Intervention when the
opportunity has arisen to do the republic
an injury.
