THE PRESIDENT SOUND.

Senator Fairbanks, addressing an in
formal conference Of five hundred rep
resentative Republicans of Indiana in
the city Of Indianapolis Tuesday, told
them that just before leaving Washing
ton he called upon President Mckinley
and asked him If he had any message
to send to his party friends in the
Hoosier State, and that the President
said: "Tell them I am going to keep
the bond. I am going to vindicate the
sound money plank in the ST, Louis
platform"
These are timely and encouraging
words. Let us hear no more about the
policy and politics" of trying to ride
both the gold and the silver horses. II
can't be done. The Republican party is
the sound money party, and sound
money means the gold standard. There
are no two ways about that, and policy
and politics demand that the situation
be honestly recognized and accepted by
the Republican leaders.

rags or wood. The latter were stiff, I'M
jointed things in which the arms were
only roughly indicated, and the legs in
most cases. not at all. The way we ar
rived at the wax, china and more ex-
pensve sorts generally is curious. In
the middle of the seventeenth century
there were no ladies' fashion papers as
now. Consequently, in order to show
what was most being worn on the CONT
nent, dolls were accurately dressed up
and sent round to the various European
countries, and from the models orders
were taken for costumes by the foreign
milliners. The dolls themselves rather
than their dresses, attracted people, SO
that large numbers of the little figures
were imported from abroad, and the
majority and the best of them. coming
from the Netherlands, were called
Islanders babies" A Bartholomew
baby" was a special kind sold at the
old fair of that name, and was celebra-
ted for the quantity Of ribbons and
mock jewelry with which 1t was decked
out.--Chicago News.

DOLLS OF ANCIENT DAYS.

After more than twenty centuries, the
ruins of Babylon and Nineveh have
been unearthed, and most frequent
among the treasures brought to light
have been small terra Gotta figures and
many beautiful carvings in ivory, which
were most likely the fascinating dolles
with which Greek and Roman children
amused themselves in ordinary had
their being in clay. Their arms and
legs were jointed and attached by
threads. and were to dangle about on
the doll, being shaken up and down or
on a thong or string being pulled from
below. Dolls of ivory and wax were not
unknown, but these, no doubt, were the
playthings of the richer classes. Be
fore marrying these maidens of classic
times would make a sacrifice of their
dolls to Venus or Diana, but if they
died as children the dolls were buried
with them, and most Of those that we
now possess have been discovered in
tombs.
The origin of the name "doll' has baf-
fled some of the wisest and most
learned, the majority Of whom have at
last come to the conclusion that it
comes from Dolly" the diminutive of
Dorothy" a favorite name for girls in
England two hundred years ago. The
word doll is not found in common use
in our language until the middle of the
eighteenth century, and, as far as one
can discover, first appears in THE Cen
tleman's Magazine" for September,
1751, and the following quotation: "Sev-
eral dolls with different dresses, made
in st. James street. have been sent to
the Czarina, to show the manner of
dressing at present in fashion among
English ladies' Prior to this the word
used to describe the favorite plaything
of all girls in all countries and in all
ages was baby" which is to be found
together with "poppet" or "puppet" In
this sense in the works of most Of the
great earlier writer's.
The earliest English "babes" were of

PARKS RS. DEATH.

They do some ingenious figuring now
adays. For instance, that which shows
that big park space and small death
rates go together in cities. Tt appears
that Minneapolis, with an acre of park
land to each 1923 of its inhabitants, be-
ing the largest park ratio known, has
a death-rate per thousand of 9.93;
while Cincinnati, with q population of
1,025 per acre of park land, has a NOR
tally rate Of 1874, and Chicago which
ranks next to Cincinnati in the number
of Inhabitants (745) per park acre, has
O death-rate OF 1893. The incomplete
ness OF the argument is seen in the fact
that ST. Louis. Philadelphia, Provi-
dence, Pittsburgh. Buffalo, Baltimore,
Washington, and New York, each OF
which has q much larger relative park
area than Cincinnati, exceed that city
in the mortality rate. A little better
however, when eighteen cities tabu-
lated are divided into two groups of
nine each. One group, wherein the park
area is an acre for each two hundred
and sixty of the population. has a
death-rate. even including the heavy
mortality in ST. Louis and PHILADELPHIA
Of 1903; while the rate in the other
group. where the average number OF
people to each acre of parks is SGT, is
2o.25.

PROGRESS,

Not long ago it was solemnly doubted
that negroes would make good "hands"
in the southern cotton mills which are
so prosperous. Then it was discovered
enough to be good "hands." Then in
one mill the white "hands" were dis
placed by negro "hands." Then some
ambitious negroes got the idea that ne
groes were not only fitted to be "hands"
in a cotton mill, but that they could
actually own and run a cotton mill
They went to work with this notion for
a basis and now the only cotton mill in
the country owned by negroes is being
built and will soon be finished. 1t is
at Concord, North Carolina. The mill
is to have from 1000 to 10000 spindles
and from $50 to $50 looms. The build
ing is a handsome three-story brick
structure, one hundred and twenty feet
long and eighty feet wide Besides the
main building there are also engine
and boiler houses and tower for water
purposes. 1t is expected the mill will
be put in operation by the first Of
April.
This looks very much like progress
for the negro. If the mill should pay
dividends and be in other respects as
successful as white cotton mill some
good old theories would again have to
be revised

not be very impressive, but it Is certain
that there are life, health and pleasure
in parks, New Haven has a fine park
system and its rock parks are splendid
ly unique, The death-rate here has, we
believe, decreased since the parks were
laid out
