According to advices received at Wash
tngton, the naval demonstration to be held
st Kiel in June in honor or the opening of
the Baltic canal will be the most stupen-
deus naval show ever witnessed. Forty
i've war ships from foreign countries will
be in attendance, and every class of fight
ing craft. from the mammoth battle ship
10 the little torpedo boat, will be in line.
In point of tonnage and heavy armament,
ehe United States will stand third in the
sist of visitors, England and Italy coming
first and second. But on the point of
speed. our navy will stand at the head,
the Minneapolis being the fastest ship that
will be present. by several Knots an hour.
The record Of the Minneapolis is 2S.7S
knots, while the record of the next fastest
vessel that will be at the show, the Italian
Aretusa, is 2o7 knots. One of the Italian
vessels mounts a gun of ia inches bore,
which is the biggest gun afoat

Importance We find in the Gazette Anec-
dotique case very much to the point, and
most amusing withal 1t seems that in the
year 1907. when Philip V, was on his way
to Madrid to take possession of his king
dom of Spain. the inha bitants of Monte de
Marsan came out to meet him at his ap-
proach. The two professions having met
about a league from the town. the mayor
advanced towards the litter in which the
king sat, and addressed him as follows
Sire long speeches are obnoxious and
wearisome; l should prefer to sing YOU
something" Leave was given. and he sang
forthwith a short ode to the king, which so
greatly pleased his majesty that he called
out, ''Da capo" (encore). The mayor gave
his song a second time. The king thanked
the singer and presented him with ten
louis dor, This amount seemed hardly suf-
ficient to the chief magistrate of Monte de
Marsan, and he therefore promptly held
out his empty hand to the king, and in ad-
mirable imitation of the kings voice, him
self called out, "Da capor' The king laugh
ed heartily. and complied, and the mayor
departed twice IS well off as ne would have
been had he been less quick-witted.

The American Woman.

The American woman continues to in
terest foreigners, particularly marriage
able grandees whose Golfers need replen-
ishing, and writer's with more or less
merit, who pay a short visit to these
shores and then go back home and write
a book or magazine article. II frequent
ly occurs that the writer's devote more of
their space and talents to criticising the
American woman and specializing on what
she ought to be, than in presenting to their
readers a word picture of her as she is. A
departure from this line, and therefore
something of novelty in its way, is an
article on the American woman from the
pen of NJ Tn. Benton, in a recent issue
of the Revue des Deux Mondes. Paris. In
his article NJ. Benton makes his own
opinions a secondary consideration and ap-
lies himself chiefly to showing American
women as they are. and giving some ac-
count of what they have accomplished.
His few comments, however, are well con-
sidered. The two great movements, pro-
hibition and woman suffrage, he shows,
owe their Importance almost entirely to
the energy of American women. OF the
suffrage movement however he does not
entertain very exalted opinion. The OBJ
jects of it are said to be the elevation of
women. their emancipation" to use a
term now frequently employed. But"
says NJ. Benton, "how could the position
of American woman be rendered stronger
than it already is? AS a girl she is pre-
dominant; she is queen with all the lib
critics which are not always granted to
queens. Marrying as she pleases, without
| control, without any influence being
brought to bear against her, she becomes
the spoiled darling of man who works
without relaxation to realize her fancies:
at least in the majority of cases. Should
it be otherwise she has recourse to a d.
vorce, which can be had without greater
difficulties than little trip into another
state. Or if she wishes to emancipate her
self from love and marriage altogether she
finds every calling open to her.
The only women who, in the opinion OF
| NJ Benton. are treated badly in the
United States, are those who belong to the
theatrical profession, and those beyond
the pales of polite society. These are the
| people, he thinks, that would naturally be
found in the ranks OF the suffrag ists. But,
! strangely enough, the suffragists are usu-
ally the most straight-laced Of women.
Concluding his article, NJ Benton paws
a tribute to the women of the southern
! states. The northern woman he finds to
be more interesting study than her south
ern sister because she is so different from
the women Of France. 1T is only in the
north that female agitation forms a So

The news dispatches from day to day
tell of the advance of prices in cotton,
wheat. corn and other commodities, and
in the wages of workingmen in various
parts of the country. 1t seems that prices
and wages are, to a degree, advancing to-
gether. And the best feature OF the mat
ter is that the advance is measured in
gold. The 10 per cent. or the u per cent
that has been added to wages by Mr..
Disston and others means so many cents
on the dollar in gold. The advance is not
deceptive, and meaning really a relative
decline, as would be the case If a nominal
increase were to come through the adop-
ton of a debased currency. Cotton in
New York on Friday was quoted at SIG.
in gold or money as good as gold. Under
the cheap money scheme of the free sill
verites, it would have TO bring something
like Is cents pound to be relatively as
valuable as it is now. Has anybody a
satisfactory reason to give for thinking
that with the free coinage of silver the
price Of cotton would go to Is cents a
pound? Somebody has guessed that it
would go to 10 or Y cents. but that is the
widest kind Of speculation on cotton.

Are not the authorities a little slow about
putting up that drinking fountain at the
head of Whitaker street. on Bay? The
city council. it is believed, made an appro-
priation for the purpose more than a
month ago, but as yet no preparations for
the erection of the fountain are in sight.
The warm season is directly at hand, when
the fountain will be needed. Its chief pur-
pose is to relieve horses and stock from
thirst upon hot summer days, hence it
should be in position by the advent of
summer.

Whether present prices prove perma-
nent or not it is generally felt that there
will be no return to the low prices from
which the present advance started. The
Improvement in staples, coupled with the
recent activity in stocks and bonds, has
created a decidedly more cheerful feeling
among business men. The coming crop
season is looked forward to with conf
dence and already the business movement
IS feeling the stimulating Influences Of the
higher prices.

Some of those who are claiming that

Here is good news for the Niobes. A
prominent physician says that a capacity
for tears-abundant, warm and ready
ones-is one of the surest preservatives OF
human beauty. 1t is grievous mistake
to think that tears can injure the sweet
est eyes or dig burrows in any face when
their rain is fresh and most frequent.
They are the natural outlet of emotion,
a sort of liquid lightning rod in which
excitement and passion are most easily
and rapidly dissipated. Sweet Alice,
who wept at frown, retained until late
in her career rounded contours, unfur-
rowed brows, dimpled lips, shining eyes
and her hair so brown. So do nearly all
weeping women who can let rivers of hot
salt tears course down over their cheeks.

boning of these skirts is a work of art
quite beyond the ordinary dressmaker.
The latest French models show strips OF
whalebone abouthalf q inch apart, sewed
in some of the breadths, while at
the bottom of the skirt must needs
go two strips of whalebone the
entire way around. The results are all
that could be desired but to the minds of
