To the social ambition of burglars there
is no limit, says the London Telegraph.
They bicycle to a suburban crib which
they have arranged to crack, drive dog
carts and wear gold-rimmed spectacles
Another phase of their desire for higher
recognition among the community is
greatly exercising the mind of a respected
resident of Putney, who returned after
brief holiday at the beginning of the week
to find that in his absence his house had
been visited by at least one thief, who ap-
propriated quantity of plate, a dress
suit, two Greek decorations for merit Of
which the householder was the proud pos
SCISSOR, and ticket for a public dinner
to an official of q golf club who is leaving
England for Australia.
This function fixed for Tuesday
evening. The excitement of the burglary
drove all recollection of the banquet from
his head, and it was only when some
friends mentioned how charming his rep
resentative was at the banquet that he
remembered the disappearance of the
ticket, which was marked, zone guinea
wine included" Subsequent investigation
showed that the burglar had not only APP
propriated the admission card, but act
ualiy wore the gentlemau's Greek decora-
tons at the dinner, where he represent
ed himself to be the ticket holders cousin
VIZ was Cit MS iiOlibcSSs anu lldue HIM
self so popular among the company with
stories of his exploits in the late Greek
war that several of them invited him to
visit their houses.
And now the real owner of the decora-
tons is trying to find out all these gentle
men and warn them of the danger they
run should the false guest honor them
with his presence, because it would mere
ly be the preliminary of another burglary
He is not quite sure whether he has sue
ceeded in tracing all who were attracted
by the housebreaker's bonhomie

The Dowager Empress of China appears
to be a king-maker of unusual power. She
placed the present Emperor on the throne
and when ne began to show little indie
pendence she lifted him from his exalted
position and shut him up in a part of his
palace 1t Is expected that she will order
his head cut off within a few days. Now
she is looking for another puppet to act
as a figurehead emperor. IL must be a
funny condition of affairs in China which
permits a woman to set up and pull down
emperors at will! Why the forces which
sustain the government should obey her
rather than the rightful ruler is one of
the things which are not generally under
stood outside of China.
The Emperor's offense was that he want
ed to introduce a few modern ideas into
his empire. He wanted railroads and tele-
graph and telephone lines, and many other
things which he thought would be OF
benefit to his people. The thing, how
ever, which aroused the anger of the Dow
ager Empress beyond control, and caused
her to remove the Emperor from his high
position was his wearing suit of clothes
like those worn by Americans and Euro
peans. That, in her estimation, was go.
ing a step too far
But the Dowager Empress cannot stop
the changes which have begun in China.
She cannot even retard them much. West
ern ideas havinS once obtained a foot
hold in the empire will spread with Won
derful rapidity. And they VIII obtain
foothold in the very near future. The
building of railroads has begun, and be-
fore they are completed nearly everything
pertaining to Western civilization Will
have begun TO make an impression on the
Chinese people. Change Will be made
with wonderful rapidly and the vast en-
pire which has been practically closed to
other nations for so many centuries, will
have a new life. The Dowager Empress
can no more check the Introduction Of the
civilization Of the West than she can
check the current OF the Yellow river
when the river is swollen by a freshet.
What China is to become in the next
half-century no one can predict with any
degree of certainty, but i is about ce--
tain that her civilization is TO pass away,
and that nineteenth century IDEAS are to
dominate her people. Whether her terri
tory is to remain practically intact or
be divided, among the great nations, IS
question which cannot be answered just
yet but it will not be very long before
it will be known what China's fate is to
be- The tins in which the Dowager En-
press can amuse herself by pulling down
and setting up by emperors viii be short.

A striking contrast is presented in the
candidates for Governor nominated by the
Republicans and Democrats of New York.
Col. Roosevelt is an impulsive outspoken,
impetuous young man, who loves a rough
and tumble scrimmage, and knows how to
give ana take hard blows. He is impa-
ticnt under restraint, and is inclined to be
headstrong. On the other hand, Judge Van
Nyck is a cool, trained lawyer. He talks
but little, measuring carefully his words.

Ex-Controller Of the Currency Eckels, IN
a speech at Chicago the other day, in
Weighed strongly against the growing ten
dency in this country towards looking
upon business corporations as public en-
emies, and hamperus them with adverse
legislation and unjust taxation. In the
vast majority Of instances, he said, tax
levies are made by those least effected
by the rate, and the revenues are dis
bursed by those who have contributed lit
tie or nothing thereto. The consequences
Of such conditions he asserted, is in
equality and recklessuess on the one hand,
and extravaganza aud waste on the other.
There is too much corporation legislation,
in Mr.. Eckels' opinion. Excessive super
vision is worse than no supervision at
all; excessive governmental Interference
hampers and retards instead of aids and
advances, The corporate powers for doing
good" He concludes, therefore, that it
is the right of corporations TO enter poll
tics, for the purpose Of defending them
selves.

TRICKS IN ALL TRADES.

The rice milters and the rice growers
of Louisiana are at outs. The trouble be-
tween them is a law recently passed by the
legislature of that state which prohibits
the "paraffining" of rice The rice planters
say that the "parafining" process Injuries
the rice growing interest in two ways. II
imparts to the rice a disagreeable oder
which clings to It after it is cooked. It
also gives the rice an unnatural taste. The
effect of this disagreeable taste and smell
is TO decrease the consumption of rice
But the chief injury to the rice growers
is that 1t brings foreign rice into competi-
ton with the home product The foreign
rice, when it reaches the American market,
has dun, dead color 1t is not nearly so
attractive in appearance as the home pro-
duct, The 'parahlning' process imparts
10 the foreign rice the rich and shining ap-
pearance which the home rice has, and
makes it much more marketable. The or
binary consumer cannot tell the "parafiin-
ed" foreign rice from the Louisiana or
Georgia rice, until he attempts to eat It.
Then he knows that there is something
wrong with the rice, but he doesn't know
tored foreign rice. Consequently he con-
dennis all rice.
1t can easily be seen why the rice grow
ers lad the law against "paraffining' rice
passed And ii is also easy to see why the
rice millers are so bitterly hostile to that
law. Without the law the millers would be
able to take inferio or foreign or even a low
grade of native rice, and by polishing il
with paraffine Oil make it appear like a
drst class article. Rice, it seems, IS sold
largely on its appearance.
The New Orleans millers threaten to test
the constitutionahty q the law. They say
that rice mills of New York use the paraf-
fine process and TIT therefore they are
placed at a great disadvantage in Compel
ing with them by the Louisiana law.

The fruit growers Of Oregon and Wash
ington find it more profitable to can ana
evaporate their products than 10 send
them TO the eastern market in the natural
state. The green fruit shipments from
these states this year win not amount to
more than half Of the shipments Of last
year, while che evaporated and canned
shipments wiE be much larger California,
also, is sending less green fruit east than
heretofore. If these far Western states
find it profitable to evaporate and can their
fruits for the eastern market, how much
more profitable ought the growers of Geor-
gia and Florida find it. We send probably
half OF our fruit TO market IN its natural
state; the balance IS looked upon as a sur
plus crop and much Of il is permitted 10 go
to waste. Il should be saved and turned
into money. The evaporator and the can
merry are the means 10 the end.

schopenbauer on Women.

Schopenhauer' mother, Joanna, was
singular woman, with whom he was
perpetually at war. She was lively, he
was grim. She was a sentimentalist, he
detested sentiment. She was devoted to
society, to gossip, to the convenances Of
life. He lived for ideas, and with an al
most savage moroseness poured scorn on
the round of "at homes" and aesthetic
tea parties. Both were selfish and quar-
relsome. We may judge, therefore, that
Schopenhauer took his notions of wom-
en- partly from his mother. 1t goes with
out saying that these notions were vio-
lent in the extreme, yet not without
some aspects of truth.
The new woman would rave at this
satire on her pretensions, and yet it
would do her good to read what Scho-
penhauer has to say with as much calm
ness as she can command. Woman is
here depicted as emphatically "a lesser

Nervous Prostitution.

DR.. j. Curtis Webb, an eminent Eng
lish physician, recently lectured on this
subject. The lecturer said that hysteria
was symptom of nerve exhaustion and
was state in which the ideas control
led the body and produced NOR bid
changes in its functions. If allowed to
go on uninterrupted, nervous exhaustion
and breakdown followed. The seeds Of
this really terrible disease were in 90
ing the period of education and training
of girls at and after q critical period of
life. Such cases were more frequent
since the introduction of the system Of
higher education of women, for the ad.
vocates of this made the great mistake
of assuming that there was no real diff
ference between girls and boys between
the ages of IA and 81. He mentioned
the frequent occurrence of cases of
anama and breakdown among girls and
attributed this to excessive mental work
and the lack of healthy exercise.
He advocated golf cycling, lawn ten
mis- and other games as preventive and
corrective and insisted upon the neces-
sity for regular indulgence in physical
exercise. 1t was not work which hurt,
but perseverance in work after nature
had held out her danger signals in the
shape of constant lassitude. loss of ap-
petite and irregularity of functions.
Nervous exhaustion sometimes occurred
as result of excessive physical exer-
else, and among middle aged ladies as a
result of worry. The remedy in the lat
ter case was to live easier and according
to rule. The complaint was also met
with in young children and was in these
cases generally due to the forcing of
mental faculties or constant scolding
and nagging.

Frogs Sing Love Songs.

One Of the most extraordinary things
about frog music is the fact that the
frog keeps his mouth closed when he is
singing
He can sing through his skin. He is
provided with a pair Of resonant cham
bers like drums, and he makes his music
by swapping his muscles against the dis
tended membranes. Then he can breathe
through his skin and supply all the
wind that is necessary without opening
his mouth.
A French scientist, after long listen
ing in the woods, has made out and re-
duced to writing the song of the frog,
or "swamp music" as he calls it, and
has discovered that the, frog repertory
is varied and extensive. Frogs can carry
ON conversations at long distances and
can communicate to each other emotions
of fear or anger.
Their songs, however, are all love
songs and are only INDUCED in when
there are female frogs about. 1t is then
that the frog distends his drums to their
utmost, throwing his head well back
and his legs far apart and raising his
voice, as it is called, to the very highest
pitch of the musical scale. Pearson g

An Estimate of Henry George.

Henry George had all the popular
gifts of the American orator and jour-
nalist, with something more. Sincerity
rang out of every utterance. Sparing in
book knowledge, he had hammered out
his thoughts upon the forge of personal
experience and showed them hot from
the hammer, rude and unfinished in
form. For this very reason Progress
and Poverty" a stumbling block to re-
sponsible politicians, to the economic
professor foolishness, struck the common
mind of the thinking people with con-
vincing and dramatic force. The infiu
ence of this first book of serious eco
nomic import which ever reached the
outer circle of the English reading pub
lie is not to be sighted. 1t is matter
of deep significance that such book
should have reached circulation Of far
upward of 100, 900 copies. Upon the
pressure of the early popularity of his
book Henry George threw the weight OF
his present personality, and his great
gifts as orator and debater secured his
influence and widely advertised his doc
trines at a time particularly favorable
to their reception. -Fortnightly Re-
view
