CREST BOOKS ARE THE THING.

No ultra fashionable girl can afford
these days to be without a scrap book
for crests and monOgr3ms Every gr.
who goes in for collecting now has one.
An extensive correspondence, is neces-
cary TO fill the book easily. L is also
wise to select for ones friends persons
who have their monograms, coats OF
arms or crests stamped on their letter
paper. Then when the note is received
the monogram. or whatever the dcora-
ton may be. is carefully cut out ana
pasted in the scrap book. Flags of yacht
clubs and the headings on the paper Of
different ocean steamers are also highly
prized. A Particularly old monogram
or crest or that belonging to any celeb
rity is regarded as a great addition 10
the bookThe scrap book which contains
these bits Of paper is generally most ar
tis.ically bound. One of The pre,,iest
had its cover Of white kid and for its
decoration the owners crest stamped in
gold.

was to use natures veil unadorned-

was so worn by al, brides, royal noble
and simple. Only then did everyone

on the head. Among some the tresses

In the governments advertisement for
subscriptions to 500, 600, 900 of bonds there
is no stipulation that the gold to pay for
them shall not be drawn from the treas
ury, so that it is possible for the whole
loan to be taken without increasing the
gold reserve by much more than $25, 00O,-
600. The people can buy the bonds
whether they have gold or not, if they
have greenbacks. for they can present the
greenbacks at the subtreasuries and get
gold for them. The banks can buy them
in the same way without much depletion
of the gold in their vaults. Doubtless one
advantage. and a great one, of the sale of
these bonds to syndicate would be that
an arrangement could be made with it
that none of the gold offered in payment
should be drawn from the treasury. On
the other hand syndicate that should
make this agreement would exact some
thing in return-it would compel the gov
ernment to accept a low price. That was
what the Morgan-Belmont syndicate did
1t got the gold elsewhere than the United
States treasury but it made the govern
ment pay roundly for 1t.

CURRENT COMMENT.
NEW ENGLAND FOR REED.
Boston Journal,

There can be no mistaking the signif-
canoe of the response evoked by the Jour-
NAILS declaration for Thomas B. Reed for
President. New England welcomes the
Journals editorial Endorsement, and sup
ports Mr.. Reed with an enthusiasm and
a unanimity which have no parallel.
Governors and ex-Governors of the New
England States, Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress, Mayors of New Eng
land cities, men eminent in all relations
of political, professional and business
life. join in emphatic approval Eof Mr..
Reed as New England's first and only
choice, as the man Of ali men best quail
fed to become the next Chief Magistrate
of the nation. Nor do these expressions
of admiration come only from Mr.. Reeds
Republican associates. Not a few con-
spicuous Democratic leaders join in the
cordial encomiums which the Journal
published Altogether, these utteranoes
constitute one of the most remarkable
tributes ever paid to an American states
man. New England's delegates must be
Reed men, all Of them, if they are to rep
resent New England. That is what
these utterances mean. The sentiment
for Mr.. Reed is more than dominant in
these States-it is verwhelming.

THE DIME NOVEL.
Little Demand Nowadays for a Class OF
Literature Once Very Popular.

A great deal has been said lately about
the reading Of pernicious literature by
boys, but the book statistics show that in
this respect the world is much better than
it was a generation ago. "Blood and
thunder' stories are not SO numerous
today as they were, simply because the
demand for them has greatly diminished
In the old days there seemed to be an
idea that there were but two kinds OF
books for boys to choose from. On the
one hand were the trashy tales of adven-
ture, and on the other hand the tame
and une2clting "Sunda SCHOOL, stories.
a boys mind Graves stirring action, and
therefore, it is no wonder that between
"Dare Devil Dick, the Terror of the
Plain s." and Honest Sam uel; or Vir
tue Its Own Reward,' he should choose
the former. But today tie book marts
are filled with volumes which are sure
to please the youthful mind, while exert
ing naught but good influences. Boys
of today are reading good, wholesome
literature, without too much favor of the
''blood andsthunder, and yet not in
sipid. William o. Stoddard, the well
known reviewer, and himself writer OF
boys stories, notes the changing taste
and says:

oreasing demand are the better class OF

this that such writers as Jules Verne

1t seems hardly probable that feet is
to be sent to the Bosphorus with the in
tention of coercing the Sultan into pay

ing the Armenian riots. The pre- sent
would hardly be an opportune time to
settle that question, not in that way at
least There are hundreds of American
missionaries In the interior of Armenia,
whose lives would undoubtedly be put in
jsopardy by an attempt now to collect
damages from the Porte by force. A
ship or two may go to the Levant for OBJ
sorvation and to meet any emergency
that may arise, but it is hardly probable
that anything more is contemplated at
this time.

The prosecution of Mr.. Frederick W.
Peabody of Boston for malicious libel
upon Congressman Atwood in charging
the latter with NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. while
in charge of the city architects Office Of
Boston has ended in a practical confess
ion by the prosecuting officer that the
indictment could not be sustained mas
much as the charges were true. This
leaves Mr.. Atwood in worse shape than
he would have been in had he passed the
charge by in silence. and probably pre-
vents his denomination to Congress.
Mr. Atwood was the one Massa-
chusetts congressman who espoused
the cause of Mckinley. The re-
sultssof this trial will doubtless rem

talk heard now, and there seems to be
little attempt to check it which means
probably tt at to attempt to check it
would be unpopular. 1t may amount to
nothing, but popular clamor for war in
a democracy, (and England is virtually
that), is always dangerous because the
government which depends for its exis-
tence upon the people is likely to be
borne along with it-indeed must be
borne along with it or resign and be sue
oeeded by one which will obey the popu-
lar will.
| OF course the outcome of the present
excited state of feeling will depend much
upon the conduct of Germany. If the
young war lord of that country continues
to insult his grandmother's subjects and
hurl defiance at England. war is very like
ly to result Bnt it is altogether probable
that cooler heads in Germany will sup
press the war lord before he makes a
fatal plunge: for the cooler heads must
see that in the kind of contest that war
between ENGLAND and Germany would be
the latter would be no match for the for
mer. On the land Germany is far
superior to England. Her army is vastly
larger and better disciplined and
equipped. But all the fig hting between
Germany and England would be upon
the sea. English ships would blockade
German ports and keep what few ships
she has securely bottled up. The En-
peror's promise to send troops to South
Africa to assist the Beers would be an
empty pron Use for her transports could
never elude the British. fleet, while un-
der convoy of British war vessels English
transports could carry to South Africa all
the troops that would be needed to defeat
what German troops are there already.
In war between England and Germany
the German army would be useless be-
cause there is nothing English within it's
reach. Not single one of her colonies
could be attacked because they are all
separated from Germany by seas which
German troops could not pass in the face
OF the British feet. England could carry
on war with Germany with vastly less
danger to herself, than with the United

| her most important colonies and could
| infiict vast damage upon her commerce.
But Germany could do neither. Perhaps
this is one reason why the English are
SO much more ready to go to war with
Germany than with us, and why there is
no great effort to check the war spirit
now that it is directed against nation
which England would have at great
disadvantage.
Of course there would be great danger
| that Russia would seize the opportunity
of war between Germany and England,
to possess herself of Constantinople and
become an ally practically to Germany.
In that case England would be in very
bad predicament, for Russia is in posit-
ion to strike England at many vital
points, but in a conflict confined strictly
to England and Germany, the former
would enjoy great advantages by reason
of her superiority on the sea.
