ANIsIONARY SCHEME.

Mr. John r. Dos Passos, of New York,
is the originator of the latest scheme to
afford financial relief to the farmers of the
West and South by loaning money on real
estate security at low rate of interest.
Mr.. Dos Passos's name has rather too
much of a Spanish sound to beget con-
fidence in his financial scheme, but to do
him justice, he has been identified as a cor
poration lawyer with some large financing
and is said to have received a fee of $780,
900 for his services in engineering the con-
solidation of the Sugar Trust. The fact
that he is always on the side of trusts and
corporations would not commend any
scheme of Lis to the people. His present
one contemplates the organization, under
a charter from Congress, of a national loan
and mortgage bank company with capt.
tai of 600 and authorized to do bust
ness in every State and Territory. 1t shall
have power to issue 81, 600. 900 in $3.50 per
cent. bonds in denominations as low as 80
These may be issued to borrowers in lieu
of money, and are expected to circulate
as freely as money. The capital is to be in
vested and it's income loaned on farms up
to so per cent of their value. The farmer
is to subscribe for the company's bonds
and is to return the loan, in other words
pay for the bonds, in installmerts. To give
the scheme an air of government support
and backing the President of the United
States is to name two directors and have
power to veto the election of the company's
president. The charter is to grant power
to do a general banking business with
trust privileges so as to finance railroad
and other schemes, manage estates and
operate warehouses. The protector of the
scheme thinks great confidence will be
placed in 1T and that the company's bonds
would be quoted as high as those of the
government.
This scheme is as absurd any of the
Populfst schemes for extending relief to
1.-THE debtor class by furnishing money at
a low rate of interest, and it is. if possible,
more Objectionable than any Of them in
that it would embody all the features of
a gigantic trust. Nobody but a New York
corporation lawyer whose range of vision
is confined to Wall street and the schemes
which terminate and thrive there could
imagine that a money monopoly such as
the one proposed, national trust combin-
ing in itself all the most odiOus features
of the money monopolies of past and pres
ent times, could get a charter from Con-
gress or would be patronized or tolerated
by the people. A party or an administra-
ton that would indorse such a scheme or
even give it slight encouragement would be
repudiated by the people. Unless Mr.. Dos
Passos and his -philanthropists of
Wall street can suggest some better plan
than this for pushing along good times
+ba1, had better go out of the business

thus give them the choice of telling the
truth. committing perjury or going to Jail.

nouncement that meeting of the Indiana
School of Embdlmers'' is in session in this
city. There are a good many schools dis
unctive to the Hoosier State with which
the public is familiar. There is the Indiana
School of Finance, which struck a keynote
for the Nation; there is the Indiana School
of Writers, otherwise classified as the
Western Association; there is the School of
Artlsts-a body of much fame and merit;
the lndiana-Boston School of Expression,
which takes Boston expression and adds
Hoosler Improvement, is an important
institutions; there are all these and Others
but that we had a School of Embalming
in our midst, so to speak, was probably un-
known to our citizens. 1t is perhaps worth
while to inquire just what feature of the
embalming is characteristic of Indiana, be-
cause this may be a professional secret, or
again, may be so technical that it would
still remain a mystery, but if it may be
disclosed in language within the compre-
hension of the laity there will be no lack
Of listeners. They will be glad to know just
what makes the embalming by this school
peculiar to the State, whether the subjects
subjects is a. proper word in this con-
nection, is it not?-whether the subjects are
so treated that they will be known as In
dianians and not natives of Ohio or Illi-
nois when they are brought to light and
gazed at by the vandals of 1000 years hence,
just as our Xandals, otherwise known as
savants, disinter and speculate over the
Egyptians. Or if it chances that it is not
the method of embalming but the embalm-
ers themselves who make the school dis
tinctive by their philosophy of embalming,
their theory to the future of the human
frame when dispossessed of the spirit that
information will be edifying. In any case
it is gratifying to the loyal Hoosier to
know that when he goes hence he will do so
in the care of gentlemen who are past
masters in their art and not mere tyros
and bunglers such as flourish in other and
less progressive States.

Charles T. Yerkes, the Chicago street
railroad magnate deserves a credit mark
for the establishment of the Yerkes observ-

largest in the world. 1t is 4115 inches on
the surface diameter and weighs 5l5 pounds
The exposed surface is forty inches, the
other inch and half being taken up by the
casing. This makes it four inches larger
than the Lick lens. which has hitherto held
the place of honor in the world of astron-

piece of crown glass. 1t is double convex

~ as that left by Henry Breese, of Kala-
mazoo. Two stepsons live in Modesto, Cal,
and, according to paper published there,
these gentlemen expect TO share in an estate
worth between seven and eight millions.
According to Kalamazoo dispatch, which
probably gives the facts, the property is
worth between $125,000 and $50. 900; one third
of it is left in special requests, and the
California heirs will have one-fifth of the

DIFFERENT MODES OF GREETING
Nationalities Whose Welcomes Differ
From the Caucasian Handshake

The Arabians shake hands six or eight
times. Once Is not enough. If, how
ever, they be persons of distinction, they
embrace and kiss one another several
times, and also kiss their own hands
In Turkey the salute is to place the hands
upon the breast and bow, which is both
graceful and appropriate. In Burmah,
when he meets woman, he puts his nose
and his mouth close to her cheek and
draws long breath, as if inhaling a de-
hcious perfume. He does not kiss her
cheek, strange to say. A man Is greeted
In exactly the same way. In the greater
part of Germany 1t Is considered an act OF
politeness, not of gallantry, for a man to
kiss woman's hand. In Italy that
privilege is allowed only to near relatives
while in Russia it is extended to kissing
the forehead. The men of continental
Europe have a custom that would seem
queer, not to say laughables here. They
greet one another with kiss, if they are
friends not on the cheek, but right on
the lips.-Harper's Round Table.
