THE RREAD-AND-sUTTER AGE.

Period of Life when Miss IL Apt to BE

One Of Byron's objections to the miss

That Is q defect easily overcome. which

age was discussing this period Of ex-
istence the other evening and thus ex-
pressed herself: Among the things
for which I am truly thankful IL the
fact that have got beyond that age.
There is no period Of her existence, 1
think, wherein woman appears to less

for the average girl of II not to be con-
scious, and she has 50 little knowledge
of the world that she Is unable to hide
her awkwardness- It il amusing. al

Of the poor things to appear natural
and at their ease and to say their little
say without betraying that they have
prepared It beforehand. Bread-and-
butter misses may be classified under
a few heads. There Is your frank

next the aristocratie girl. conscious Of
her position, who has nothing to say.
and therefore does not say II; and the
last and funniest development Of all,

was decidedly novel, although some

largest furniture vans to be had in
Europe, and in II were packed her
household goods under her close and
careful supervision. Six strong horses
drew the van from weisbaden to Ham
burg, where the body OF the vehicle

THE SAKE QUESTION.

The free importation OF California
wines was 2 temperance measure" is
said by Senators Holstein and Schmidt,
in their report on the bill TO regulate
the sale OF liquors. We doubt it. 1t
was really permitted in order to make
the California wine merchants feel
kindly towards US If it was a tenn
perance measure. it was adopted in
spite OF the best human experience TO
the contrary. No amount of local pro-
duction of excellent clarets has made
the American people a wine drinking
people. Cheap as it is, il is not gen.
orally used in hotels, boarding houses
or homes. The Americans like beer.
and prefer it. Some of them like
whiskey and viii take nothing else.
One may stop at hundred average
hotels, and the bar rooms will furnish
them only whiskey and beer. Even in
California, the cheap native wines are
not largely used al home, but are ex-
ported.
We might as well try 10 make the
people here, excepting the Portuguese,
drink muscatel as claret.
When our Legislature cut of a cheap
supply of sake to the japanese, it acted
in a paternal way with a vengeance. It
raised, not a question OF revenue, but
one Of forcing national customs, just
as it would have disturbed the COM
munity, if it had put an internal rev.
enue duty on milk OF dollar a gallon.
The American Government, in its re,
cent search for revenue, dared not raise
the price of beer l cent per glass
The Republican party saw defeat in
It.
The japanese have no voting pow
er, but ii is not safe TO try expert
ments with large bodies of men. If
they feel injured, the time comes when
they get their revenge.
The question of revenue is impor-
tant, but Insignificant in comparison
with that Of touching the customs and
prejudices of men.

mos brutal war of the century He

meath more skies. and under them has

There come moments in the life OF
nation where if peace and gold are
placed in one scale. and humanity and
justice are placed in the other, the
scale trembles only for an instant in
he balance, and then peace and gold
strike the beam. The question of pro-
it and comfort TO the American people
ceases 70 exist. The great American
ship Of State clears her gun decks for
action. And TO President Mckinley
with his hand on the helm,

words OF the old Greek mariners: I'VE
rust thee, Oh pilot, for thy hand is
steady, and as long as thou are there.
We shall not fear that our ship will

During the reading the committee per-

were made in the bill. None of these
were really vital. At one time there
was some objection to permitting a
double track under any circumstances
but later this opposition was overcome
by clear explanation of the possible
transit needs of the future. The House
will no doubt pass this act. It may be
