Congressman Lacy, Of lowe, chtiT-
man OF the house committee on public
lands, In talking Of ths senate free
homes bill, said today. Personally
am Of the opinion that the bill will not
be reported in its present shape. The
reason is that its friends burdened IL
down. II they will take out OF it the
25, coo, 900 acres Of lands for which the
government is obligated in the future
to pay the Indians the bill might
stand show OF getting through /
am Ia favor Of free homes bill but /
am not willing that the government
should give free to settlers lands upon
which it still has payments to make
II is my opinion that the advocates Of
free homes will fiHd some difficulty in
enthusing the Republican majority on
that subject at this session Of con.
gress.
There is not the necessity for free
homes bill now that there was year
ago. The farmers in Oklahoma, Kan
sas and Nebraska have had excellent
crops this year and are in very good
shape at present Last year they I'M
doubtedly we're in need Of relief, shd
their necessities furnished an argu-
ment for free homes bill which no
longer exists. We gave free homes to
the farmers in Green county, Okla
homa Territory in the last congress,
and how did they show their gratitude
to the Republican party? Every last
one OF them voted against Dennis
Flynn, the delegate from oklahoma
the most useful man any territory has
had in congress during my exper ienee
in that body. Under Rll the circum.
stances do not see any reason why n
Republican congress should enthuse
very much over the question OF free
homes for the western farmers at this
time"

Repudiate their Faith.
Pearsons Weekly: The expulsion OF
the Jews from Spain can hardly be
called an emigration since their pas
sage from Spain was rather a matter
OF compulsion. Yet, in a sense, the
choice was given them. The queen and
king of Spain--Ferdinand and Isabella
issued an edlct for the expulsion of
all Jews who refused Christian bap-
tism. but, as Prescott says, there were
found very few, when the day OK de-
parture arrived who were not pre-
pared to abandon their country rather
than their religion. Consequently,
when March 80, 1892, arrived what
was, practically speaking, a whole ma
tion began to emigrate. All the prin-
clpa routes through the country
swarmed with omigrants, "old ana
young, the sick and the helpless, men,
women and children, mingled promis-
cuously together, some mounted on
horses or mules, but far the greater
part undertaking their painful pilgrim
age on foot" Eighty thousand at least
passed into Portugal; others scattered
over Europe and North Africa. The
whole number OF Jews expelled from
Spain is variously computed from 100, =
600 to 500. 600 souls. II appears from
the statement of the Bernaldez that
the kingdom of CASTLE contained flye-
sixths OF the Jews in the Spanish mon
archy, and from this computation the
| figures are set at 100000.

During the short time the arbitration
law has been in operation in New Zea-
land it appears to have worked we'll
Under the act in question the colony is
divided into districts. A board of con-
ciliation, composed Of an equal num-
ber of wOrkmen and employers, can be
constituted in any district, and over
this is a special central tribunal which
possesses APPELLATE functions and whose
decision is final. The arbitration court
is presided over by judge of the Su-
preme Court Of New Zealand and he is
assisted by two assessors, similar to
the practice in our own Admiralty
by the employers, the other by the
workmen. The trades unions have
power to sue and are liable to be them
selves sued, not only the union funds
being attachable, but the individual
members are responsible to the extent
of 910 each should the common fund
fail to cover the liabilities. The pen
atty of the non-observance of the award
is limited to $500. No strike or lockout
has occurred since the act has been in
operation.

Farmers in America who are some
times unable to make both ends meet
would do well to study the methods and
processes of Belgian farmers. Six mill
lon Of people in Belgium live on a ter
ritory about equal to the State of Mary
land, and farm of two acres is enough
to support a man and his family and
enable him to lay by something for a
rainy day. An article in Colman's
Rural World tells something of the
methods of the Belgian farmer and
gives an interesting insight into rural
thrift and economy in the most dense
ly settled country of Europe. Describ-
ing the typical two-acre farm in Bel
GUM, the article says the thrifty Bel
gian makes the most of every inch by
heavy manuring and allowing no
waste places. A patch of wheat or rye
and barley, another of potatoes, etc.,
and other garden truck, even the slop-
ing sides of the bitches for irrigation
being utilized, and the general result is
that with thrift and economy the far
mer provides about everything his FAM
fly needs except a few groceries and
clothes, while the surplus products
more than supply his other wants and
leave balance to his credit, which
grows each year.

Oxford Bible Paper.

The paper making of Oxford Bibles
is specially important and interesting
part of the work, says Chambers Jour-
nal. At Wolvercote, mile or two out
of oxford, the university has large
mill for the supply of its own require
ments. A good deal of the paper they
turn out here is made of old ships sails,
the material of which, after battling
with storms in all quarters Of the
world, come here for the purpose Of be-
ing made into paper, printed In almost
every language under heaven and
bound up in volumes, to be again scat
tered far and wide into all the utter
most ends Of the earth.
This Wolvercote paper has much to
do with the great reputation that Ok
ford has acquired in the production Of
Bibles and other devotional books.
Twenty years ago and more the man.
agement here hit on valuable inven-
ton in paper making and ever since
their India paper" has been the envy
and puzzle of manufacturers all over
the kingdom. There are said to be only
three persons living who know the Sc
cret of it's make, and, though the proc
ess has never ben legally protected
and all the world is free to initiate the
extremely thin but thoroughly opaque
and wonderfully strong and durable
paper of the best Oxford Bibles, If they
only know how, all the world his hith-
erto quite failed to do so.
1t Is thin as tissue, but perfectly
opaque and so strong that strip of 1t
three inches wide has proved to be
capable Of sustaining a quarter of a
hundredweight. Over 100 works and
editions are now printed on this paper.
This special advantage has very largely
helped Oxford to retain the leading po-
sition which it originally gained by be-
ing nearly the first, If not quite the first,
printer of books in the kingdcm, and by
the prestige of its name.

The indictment Of six prominent Ken
tuckians by the grand jury at Frank
fort for 'poker-playing for money" is
regarded by the Chicago Times-Herald
as another sign of the decline Of poker.
For better or worse, and without con-
sidering the ethics Of gambling, 1t is ap-
parent to any one who will think OF 1t
for moment that poker is slowly but
surely going out Of fashion. Before
the war everybody played it. The
statesman of those days was as well
known for his skill in opening a jack
pot and the savoir faire with which he
staked all of his possessions on his abil-
ity to guess whether his opponent had
filled or merely bluffed as for his TO-
game kept it's hold on popular favor to
but slightly diminished degree. But
gradually it has lost its seductive pow.

hardly anybody plays it, While few
years ago poker was played in every

dozen or more games in progress. Now
an order to the bell-boy to bring cards

renee. Then, everybody played, now

lect when they last opened Jack pot"
The game, once ''gentlemans game"

There have been number of rough
attacks by women on the New Woman
in the magazines lately. Mrs. Buckler,
who took high honors at Cambridge,
declares in the North American Re-
view that woman's achievements in
literature and art have in two thousand
years produced little if anything worth
mentioning. She has never written Il
great history OF great drama, nor
achieved distinction In discovery, in
vention, painting, sculpture, or archi-
lecture. At any rate, her achievements
have fallen far short Of mans. Her
success in collegiate fields is exposed
to the same criticism. Under the title
"The Unquiet Sex" in Scribner's Mag
azine, Helen Watterson Moody protests
against women being thus shut off by
themselves. They exhaust each other
merely by being together; lavish ex-
travagant friendship on one another, or
indulge in excessive admiration for
some teacher. When they graduate,
thei1 first idea, If they undertake a
career, is to prove that they can do q
mau's work. They neglect those facul-
ties and capacities for which women
have constant need, unless they are to
be educated or co-educated out of the
fashion Of marrying and housekeeping.
As for herself, she says she would glad
ly exchange her birthright of Greek
and Latin for the ability to make one
good mess Of pottage. Their health,

lege. After graduation a few drift into
teaching, fewer still into medicine, lit
erature, and law; but in these pursuits
woman has not proved herself remark
able. The next volley, although fired
anonymously, has the sanction of Miss
Frances Willard, who sends it to the
Critic. According to this dissenter the
main quality of women's college work
is an imitation of mans. Women's ed
ucation is fad" to which their health
and vigor are sacrificed. Instead of un-
dertaking to develop their own capaci-
ties and ambitions, all stress is given
to recreate their natures and ca
pacitieS. The teachers are unmarried
women who sacrifice almost every
thing to books, to the neglect of social
training and of refining influences.
There is a failure to uphold and foster
the ideal Of wifehood and womanhood.
Subjects particularly adapted to wo-
men as mothers, wives, and the guar
dians of the homes, like sanitation, do
nestle economy, social science, the
science Of teaching, are scarcely recog-
nized, and the whole scheme is worked
on the old lines that men laid down in
medieval times. 1t is somewhat re-
markable that within a few weeks
there should have been three of these
attacks on women's higher education
from members of their own sex.

Walker went to Colorado and turned

The Palatine, chief of the seven hilh
of Rome, as having been the site OF
the dwelling of Romulus. and, under
Augustus, the residence Of the emper-
ors, is beginning to attract almost as
much attention as the Acropoli5 at
Athens on the part of archaeologists,
and as but little of tho hill has been
excavated the promise Of finds" Is
much greater. Prof. Bacceli has devot-
ed himself since 1882 to that part of
the Roman Forum Immediately under
the Palatine, and, as a result, the quar-
ters of the vestal virgins and the Via
Nova have been disclosed. The church
Of st. Maria Liberatrice, which was
built out of the temple Of Vesta, pre-
vents the complete excavation OF the
Forum, and the church is an obstacle
that at present seems insurmountable.
Among other portions of the Palatine
that have been unearthed in recent
years are the Stadio Faiatino and cir
cular cistern connected with the house
of Lioca. Eventually it is hoped that
the whole of this famous hill, or at
least all that part overlooking the Via
Triumphalis, will be excavatcd.

has nearly the sound of s, as in Cele-

should not be used for the vowel L.
For about eight years the photographic
rules adopted by the leading geographi-
cal societies have agreed in rejecting
the possessive case in many names.
The rule adopted by our Board of Geo

A London statistician has been look
ing up the records and has made dia-
gram showing the annual variation in
the price of wheat since 1641. The
most remarkable fact disclosed by his
Investigations Is that the price rises
and falls with great regularity every
four years, and he explains that the
phenomenon is due to the fact that
when the market has been good farm
ers have planted an increased quantity,
thus making larger supply and fore
ing prices down again. The average
price in 1895 was % shillings 1 pence
quarter or 70 cents a bushel, and in
1896 26 shillings 2 pence, or SS cents
bushel. The highest price ever known
for wheat occurred in 1912, when 1t
sold for 126 shillings 6 pence a quarter,
or about $3.85 a bushel. The lowest
price was in 1743, when it fell to %
shillings 1 pence, or go cents bushel,
although it should be remembered that
the value of money was very much
greater in those days than now. Wars
in any part of the earth have invariably
increased the price Of wheat. The
most rapid advance ever noted was in
1899, when the career Of Napoleon was
at it's height. Wheat went from So to
$3.50 a buShel in few months.

The Face and the Hair.

To suit long, narrow face the Lair
should be dressed round, and 1t Is al
ways best to show a coil or so from the
side behind the ears; also endeavor to
fill up the nape of the neck as much as
possible.
For a sharp-featured face always
avoid dressing the hair right at the
top of the back of the crown In line
with the nose, as this so accentuates
the severe outlines. Dress the hair low
down or else quite on top to meet the
fringe.
For a round face narrow dressings
are becoming, and can be taken we'll
down the neck.
For a broad face narrow dressings
are preferable, but should be kept
somewhat high.
Exceedingly tall people should keep
the hair dressed low and decidedly
round.
1t is very rarely that we find purely
white hair; it is usually a gray white,
and with this latter no colors are so
suitable as dark greens, browns, am
bers, purple tints, deep cream, dark
reds and warm shades of dark blra,-

of musk acts as a tonic, while civet
brings drowsiness of soul, for which
the best antidote is the pungent odor
of sandalwood. The fragrance of citron
is as soothing to nervous people as far

Many perfumes delightful in the open
air become particularly disagreeable
in a close room. A whole evening can
be spoiled by the presence of tuberoses
or lilies in a reception room. Their
strong fragrance has a very bad effect.
Magnolia blossoms, too, have a delight

woe to her who sleeps through the
night with single blossom on her pill

such as carnations, Glove pinks, sweet

Manitobans think that as the United

than in the United States. A number

The bicycle was originally a French
invention, but American workmanship
and ingenuity have so greatly improved
and cheapened it that we are supplying
the French with large share of their
wheels. Consular reports show that
the French Government received last
year no less than $551 900 in tariff du
ties on American bicycles, while the i'm
portations from England amounted to
nearly nothing. On the other hand,
there is scarcely one rench wheel in
