spindles, y reorganized corporation,
following failure, Announces that the
great difficulty of the former corpora
ton was to secure steady labor, Not
enough of the workers of Charleston
offered their services, and it was found
necessary to import labor at a heavy
expense, To avoid this difficulty the
new board considers it a duty to engage
oolored labor, not exclusively, as is pro-
posed elsewhere, but in conjunction
with white labor. The interesting feat
ure of the affair Is that the negroes are
not to be employed in any philanthropic
or quiXotic mood, but as a pure matter
of business and in recognition of the
necessities of the situation, Charleston
has colored population of $4,000, and
the mill directors feel confident that
they win obtain a sufficient number of
steady operatives, and at prices which
will enable them to conduct the mill in
an exceptionally economic way.

MEXICO W4NTs THE JAPASESE,

For the moment, at least, the fear
that the Japanese will overrun this
country is not working, but it is inter-
esting to note that they are coming
nearer and nearer. Recently many
Japanese have emigrated from their
country to the Sandwich islands, where
their influx has created alarm, some
even suspecting that the immigrants
are soldiers In disguise. But the Jap
anese are coming nearer to us than the
Sandwich islands. They have been cor
daily invited into Mexico and they are
freely responding to the invitation. Land
at ten cents acre, with freedom from
all kinds of taxation for ten years, is
are located near Acapulco, and 1t is ex-
pected that there will be five thousand
canvassing the interior districts of
Japan, and are making announcements
eLDOdI lliS plOJcCl " oil TIC pcOple, eS-
pecially the small farmers, and thou
sands of applications have been receiv-
ed already at Nagasaki and Kobe.
Steamers are now being chartered for
this traffic alone. Okena Agoto, a jap
anese army officer who has a company
of the immigrants in charge, says: We
think that our people will like the
country down there, and, with their
careful habits, will be able to amass
considerable wealth as soon as they
get accustomed to the seasons and the
way to grow few cereals that are new
to them. Our government looks with
great favor on the scheme, because it
will relieve our own congested districts,
and by and by send our outside money
into circulation into Japan, besides OPP
ening up new freight business and traf-
fic routes that may become permanent.
This appears to be an important

An IRRELIGIoUs FARCE.

They have had no April day of fast
ing, humiliation and prayer in Massa-
chusetts for the last two or three years,
and the change has commended itself
to the Judgment of those who did not
believe in keeping up a custom that had
worn out. We still have an April day
Of fasting, humiliation and prayer in
Connecticut which is largely celebrated
by bicycle riding, ball games, excessive
drinking, over eating and whatever else
can be thought of that is not fasting,
humiliation and prayer. Open protest
against the farce has been made this
year, and the leaven appears to be
working. Fast Day still exists in New
Hampshire just as it does in Connecti-
cut, and this year. as in Connecticut,
open protest has been made against it.
To-day is Fast Day in New Hampshire,
but it may be the last one, for the gov
ernor in appointing it declared that it
ought to be abolished. This opinion is
shared by the president of Dartmouth
college, who has refused to suspend lee
lures to-day and says that he will have
nothing to do with a religious farce.
Irreligious farce Is perhaps a better
characterization of the day than "relig-
ious farce" There is no doubt that the
people Of this country need an occasion
al day of fasting, humiliation and pray
er, but they don't seem to think so, and
no amount of days appointed for them
to think so in will make them do it.

"BIRDIE.o

Yesterday we spoke of the encourag-
ing development in Colorado which in
dicates that Woman Is not disposed to
take all the rights and privileges there
are without also assuming some of the
duties. The action of Mrs. Tillie Nor
gan in demanding, under the new law
of Colorado, a private soldiers place in
the State militia, is cheering evidence
that Woman means to fight as we'll as
vote and pay taxes. But we are a lit
tie surprised to read that Mrs. Morgan
is known as Birdie" among those who
admire and love her. This may not be
so. We hope it isn't, but it says so in
the paper If it is so her enlistment
and service in the militia will seem
rather incongruous, unless it is dis
tinctly specified that Birdie" doesn't
mean what it appears to. 1t appears to
mean that Mrs. Morgan is a gentle,
round, sweet creature like robin. That
is what is usually meant by Birdie"
If in this case "Birdie" means hawk
like or eagle-like, or even English
sparrow like, it is all right. The hawk
the eagle and the English sparrow are
warlike birds and if "Birdie" Morgan
is like a hawk or an eagle or an English
sparrow she is acting consistently and
she is consistently named. Until fur

graphers are particularly impervious
to reason on this point. They note at
once the smallest departure from the
usual in the habits of daily life, as If it
were an alteration, never thinking that
their victim probably knows himself a
great deal better than they can know
him, or Is obeying an instinct as deeply
planted and as beneficial as that which
induces a dog occasionally to eat grass.
There are men, Scotchmen and Scandi-
nayians no doubt mostly, who simply
must get into the cold" for few
weeks every year, who thirst for it like
Swiss for mountains; and there are
thousands of women who would live to
a hundred IL they could only have a
month year in place where they
were warm all through, To condemn
such instincts as self-indulgence, unless
they conflict with clear duties, Is fool

that by a shift of the ruching at its

Very heavy and elaborate chatelaines
are affected by riding tailor girls.
These are & distinct tailor class; they
do not initiate mems wear, but they
maintain a "horsey' simplicity in the
cut and material of their clothes with
which the quoted chatelaine does not
match. The average horse would have
the jumping horrors if his rider did
herself up in jingles that way. One OBJ
lection to these chatelaines is that most
of them are plated. AS such they are
denominations, while If solid gold or sill
yer, their bad taste is equally pro-
nounced. So if you had thought of
giving a chatelaine for birthday that
comes presently, don't do it.

HABITS AND HEALTH.

There is another kind of asceticism
which is nearly as foolish as neglect of
food, and which is enforced not by
ones own well-guided or misguided
Judgment, but by external opinion. AL
most all men have certain ways" Of
living which they have found conducive
either to health or work, and a very
large section of them suffer greatly
from a torrent of criticism for those
ways. There are men who never need
exercise, or, as Mr.. Chamberlain says
in his case, do much better without it,
and If they escape a minatory lecture
once a week they are greatly favored
by fortune. There are other men, quite
numerous, who benefit by exercise in
big draughts but not in homeopathic
doses, who exert themselves furiously
once week or during an annual holt
aay but for -. --4.. aFt. -. o..
fit most by bodily torpor. They are not
scolded because. as a rule, they are
considered too far gone for that opera
ton to be beneficial, but they are ha-
bitually and very openly disbelieved.
They are talking nonsense, it is held, on
a matter they know nothing about.
There are thousands of Englishmen
who are never at peace if they are not
warm, and are told by all sincere
friends that they are killing themselves
with 'coddling;" and tens Of thousands
who can neither think nor work unless
they are cool, and who are pestered by
every one who knows them about
wraps. We used to lecture one old gen.

ance Is before the United States dis
trict court at Helena, Montana. A Sc
we're boycott has been in operation
against the Chinese in Butte, Montana,

has been carried out by tWenty-four

FASHION NOTES,



For early spring wear the charm of
capes must be admitted, something
very fresh, fluffy and bright, and many
costumes are planned chiefly for the eff
feet of such cape. A gown made
simply of delicate blue gray, with
plain skirt set on yoke of rose color
silk, and with skirt lined with rose col
ored silk, has a bodice that shows a
soft fulness Of pleated gray chiffon.
With 1t is planned a deliciously full ell
bow cape of rose colored taffeta. The
taffeta is set on a yoke Of mouse gray
velvet, and there are several rows of
velvet on the edge of the cape, With a
great soft rose set low in the rair under
the gray toque, the effect will be de-
liciously sprlnglike and attractive. To
be sure, such a cape can hardly be ex-
pected to take the usual wear of an
outer garment through the season, but
it will be lovely addition to the sum-
mer wardrobe and always be suitable
for theater use.

Dr. Austin Flint in a discussion before
a New York club the other night said
in regard to capital punishment that a
physician should never countenance a
judicial murder. The subject under dis
cussion was Disease and Crime" and
DR.. Flint, who is member ofthe prison
association, spoke from a medical
standpoint He argued that law and le-
galacumen in our courts have been busy
looking for presidents to justify the
most glaring offenses, and so criminal
law has not made progress. 1--WE shall
never have thoroughly intelligent di-
agnosis of a criminal from the bench"
he declared, until we have seated with
the Judge a medical adviser, who shall
bring to bear his wisdom and methods
upon the case" He further maintained
that the state ought to employ medi-
cal authority for the courts who should
know what experts should be engaged
by the courts. He also advocated the
theory that the children of the poor
should not receive an education beyond
their station in life, as it tends to give
them desires for positions in society
they cannot attain.

THE SCOTCH RACE.

sandy's Condition Wns Critical, and He
Wanted TO Hear the Bagpipes.
Perhaps because the guest Of the even
ing was n Scotchman, or possibly because
one man in the party had a Scotch story
to tell, the conversation was brought
around to a discussion of the Scotch race.
1T was while l was attached to a London
hospital, " said a physician, "that wit
messed a marvellous cure of a Scotchman.
We will call him Sandy, though that is
not his name. One of his legs had been so
badly mangled in an accident that we de-
cided to amputate it. The shock was a Sc
we're one to Sandy, and when he regained
consciousness after the operation it was
evident that he had not vitality enough
left to recover. Mon, ahm going to deep
he asked, we hope for the BEST Sandy,
said, 'but your condition is critical. Is
there any Scotch dish that you would
like?' Sandy said that he didn't want any
thing to eat, but if he could hear the bag
pipes Just once more he could die happy.
owe didn't have a piper on our staff,
but one of the nurses found one in a chop
house not far away. When the piper ar.
rived, Sandy was so weak that he could
not speak. He looked grateful, Although
it was not in accordance with our hospital
rules, we hadn't the heart to refuse San
dy's dying request. 1 gave the signal, and
the piper began to play. Sandy smiled
peacefully, and at the end Of the second
tune he had gone asleep. His temperature
and pulse showed a remarkable improve
mont, and because Sandy was a good fel
low and we thought he might call for the
pipes again before he breathed his last We
kept the piper.
'Two hours later Sandy nwoke, and the
first thing that he asked for was the pipes.
Again that weird noise filed the hospital,
and once more Sandy went to sleep, stron
ger and better than we had expected him
TO be. A third time he awoke and again
the piper played When Sandy once again
fell asleep, to our amnzement the crisis
had passed and he was on the road to re
covery, He is now alive and well.
