SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS
COPYRIGHTED by Memo.

How sheeplike many of US act! we
reflect on neither past nor future;
there is for us no glorying in deeds
done by the race, no realization OF our
share in further progress; no learning
from the voice of histC&y, no vision OF
happy peoples yet to be blessed. Sheep
take things as they find them; men
force nature to their WILL Sheep are
content if merely we'll fed; men do not
live by bread alone. Sheep look con-
stantly at material things; men gaze
upward unabashed even by the shlm-
lnering glories of the throne of ever
lasting Might. Let us be men!
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1897-03-14

Try to cultivate a free mind that will
believe in things not seen, in deeds not
shared in, in powers not possessed by
yourself A tadpole's horizon is linn
tied by his unwholesome puddle, but
your horizon is limited by nothing II
you will but curb selfishness and be a
sentient being. The past is all yours.
Though often you forget it, you are
lineal descendant from the earliest
ages. The great of every cline are
your kinsmen bone of human bone ana
flesh of human flesh. Find interests
outside of yourself: enjoy the inherit
ance of great things already done.

NOW WE'LL HAVE GOOD TEA
Experts Have Been Looking After
the Matter.

Washington, March 30.-The board of
10 experts appointed by the secretary of
the treasury to select standards of teas,
pursuant to the act of congress to pre-
vent the importation of impure and I'M
wholesome tea, having submitted a re-
port in which they state that they have
selected such standards as in their Opin-
ion will represent the intention of the
bill regarding purity, quality and fit
ness for consumption. The report adds:
The board recommends that the war
department issue instructions that all
teas shall be labeled with the proper
trade names, so as to avoid palpa BILE
fraud in the use of false labels. The
Importance of this point has been pres
sed upon them by the trade, and they
cannot too strongly emphasize it. par
tcularly referring to green teas, of
which the Pingsuey kind have been
heretofore labeled Moyune, the former
being an inferior and the latter sup
eriOr tea. We therefore respectfully
urge upon you as of supreme impor-
lance that the examiners should be not
only thoroughly honest and trustwor-
thy, but also experts in tea.
That the present incumbents at New
York and Chicago meet these require
ments, the board have no question but
as the examiner at San Francisco is not
an expert in tea, but a chemist having
insufficient knowledge of the article, it
is absolutely necessary that person
possessing the proper qualifications
should be appointed at that port

CONFERENCE MUST WAIT.
Mckinley Will Do Nothing Till Am
bassadors Are Appointed.

Washington, March 3O.-From careful
Inquiry in official circles here it ap-
pears that any statement that the pres
1dent has determined to appoint special
" accredited commissioners to undertake
negotiations abroad with foreign pow
ers in furtherance of bimetallism is at
least premature.
So far, it is said, the president has
been unable to give serious attention to
this and there is no reason to suppose
that he has changed his we'll defined
plan of insisting upon deferring the con-
sideration of all other questions until
the necessary changes in the tariff are
affected. There is a growing belief that
the matter of an International bimetal-
jic conference should be postponed I'M
til after the appointment of ambassa-
doris and a thorough sounding of for
eign governments on this point.

WOMEN JAILBIRDS.
Some Views of Matron Thorpe on I'm.

Police Matron Thorpe says that the
class of women prisoners arrested by
the police would rather work than not.
In speaking of the matter she said to a
reporter:

the question. find that it can, in re-
ality, amount to but little in Topeka,
as we have not women enough of that
class to warrant the establishment of

them sew great deal for the poor. one
summer we made seven quilts, and
they We're very nice. But the continual
expense of providing thread, needles,
thimbles and scissors was no small tax
on a purse like mine. Nobody but pO-
lice officers know what a continual out
lay we are subjected to for necessaries
for our prisoners. 1t is true that very
few of our women prisoners are lazy.
They beg for Work-anything to pass
away the time and to keep them from
thinking. But there are very few of
them to whom work which is really
valuable could be given.
Under a careful oVerseer, they could
be more prOfitably employed in cooking
for the prisoners, if we had a kitchen
there, perhaps, than in any other way.
1 know it is supposed to be a Christian
duty to visit prisOners-but some
times think this thing is OverdOne.
Whenever strangers come in town, con-
wOmen's ward must be thrown wide
open for their inspection. You can
think how pleasant it must be to have
a curious crowd fill the door and stare
at you and make remarl1si There is no
