Violet Perfume.

It would appear as if the cultivation
of the violet for its perfume alone will
shortly be numbered with the things
of the past. Violet perfume is now pro-
duced by chemical means, and the re-
suit quite supersedes and surpasses.
1t is said, in quality and persistency.
the flower itself. This latest discov-
cry in chemistry has been made by two
Germans in Leipzig, and the import
ance Of it may be measured by the fact
that many thousands of pounds have
been offered for the patent. Already
this substance has been sold at a con-
siderable reduction upon the cost of
the perfume made from real violets,
and so intense is the odor in it's con-
centration that the manufacturers sell
only 10 per cent solutions of it. This
10 per cent solution has to be again di-
luted hundredfold before it is fit for
sale to the public. The perfume of vio-
let's is not, we are told, the only in
stance in which chemical science as
applied to perfumery has triumphed,
and though some of the other chem
ically made perfumes are not SO re-
markable in their similitude to those
actually extracted from flowers, they
are of sufficient Importance to greatly
limit the use of flowers they initiate.

rh. Cause. Of Corn. and Bun,on..

The feet are surely plant members
when they can endure the variformed
shoes that from time to time compel
them into new habits with each new
pair put on; yet they rarely rebel or
give real trouble unless barbarously
neglected. Corns and bunions are
more often the result of wearing old
shoes than in the wrong selection of
new ones. A constant change of foot
gear inures the foot to variety, and
even those who confine themselves
wholly to the ready-made article need
suffer no Ill effects If they will keep
their shoe supply as carefully replen-
ished as Is the rest of the wardrobe.
It is one of the most fallacious of
practices to attempt to economize by
wearing old shoes about the house, un-
less they possess all their buttons,
have straight heels and soles, and are
daily brushed and aired, as are their
newer fellows. Only in this way may
the ankles be continually braced into
strafghtness and the toes allowed to
move gently in an almost straight di-
rection. When the foot is thrown out
of balance by worn-down heels, the
toes, attempting to retain a level po-
sition, perform prehensile feats, which
resemble the action of the forebears
some scientists have ascribed to us.
Moreover, the combined heat and
moisture Of the normal foot hardens
the leather Of the continuously worn
shoe into permanent creases, which in
turn render the foot extremely sensi-
tive, and a struggling against it's hard
environment enlarges the joints and
causes local distress.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.

Archery in Recent Warfare. gv

The bow and arrow as a weapon
war long survived the introduction of
gunpowder in Europe. In the battle of
Leipsic in 1913 a large number of Bos-
kir Tartars were in the field, armed
only with bows and arrows. General
Marriott of the French was seriously
wounded by an arrow in the Battle,
which was the last fought on European
soil in which these primitive weapons
were used.

SPANISH AssURDITY.

The views of Spaniards in regard to de-
claring war with the United States are sur
prising to us and must be to intelligent
people in Europe. They seem to have no
conception OF the capacity of the United
States for war when we are once driven
into it. Spaniards are reported as being
in favor of having their government take
the initiative at once in the expectation of
gaining advantage by the first blow. One
would have war declared in twenty-four
hours if President Mckinley did not declare
that the rebellion in Cuba is inconsequen-
tial; and yet it has been of such conse-
quence that Spain has not been able to even
retard it. Another would have Spain de-
clare war off-hand because the Unit ed
States has not prevented assistance being
given to the Cubans. Other causes are re-
ported for Spain's taking the initiative in a
war with the United States.
How influential such persons may be in
Spanish affairs does not appear, but the
fact that such views are telegraphed from
Madrid indicates that their authors have
some standing and some following. This
wonderful assumption of ability to cope
with the United States by Spaniards OF
some Importance shows how men who live
in country not in touch with the progress
of the age misled by their isolation.
Spain is never mentioned in any of the
combinations of European nations. 1t is
no longer part of the world of to-day.
Power and glory 1t had centuries ago, but
all that it has of these now is a ridiculous
pride and a false sense of national honor.
1t is bankrupt beyond recovery. 1t could
not raise 500, 1000. All the friends it has
to-day are those who hold it's bonds. 1t
would seem that the failure of a nation
which has been trying for more than three
years to crush out a rebellion on an island
with q population of 100000 would teach
those people that they are in no condition
to offer war to nation of 100000 of peo-
pie with unlimited credit

THE WAY 1T WAS DONE.

Senior Du Bose, Spanish charge d affaires
at Washington, resents as an insult to Spain
the suggestion that the Maine was blown UP
by q submarine mine or torpedo in Havana
harbor. He does not discriminate. Under
the circumstances the suspicion was very
natural one from an American point of
view, and it did not necessarily reflect on
the Spanish authorities. We suppose very
few persons believe the Spanish government
or high authorities in Cuba had anything
whatever to do with the disaster. 1t is no
more than fair to assume that they are
men of honor and incapable of so dastardly
an act. But it was quite supposable that
they might have placed submarine mines or
torpedoes in Havana harbor for defensive
purposes, and that one of these might have
been exploded by some fiery young officer or
reckless desperate who thought he would
be doing God service by blowing up the
American ship. There is nothing insulting
TO Spain in that suspicion. However, Senior
Du Bose, on the strength of official informal
ton from Havana, declares positively and
emphatically that there were no mines or
submarine defenses of any kind in Havana
harbOr. This is conclusive on that point, at
least it is SO accepted in Washington, and
therefore disposes OF the suspicion that the
ship was destroyed in that way. But it
does not by any means dispose of the the
DRY that her destruction was due to Spanish
treachery. Some of the most intelligent and
trustworthy American correspondents at
Havana are convinced that the first ex-
ing mine or submarine torpedo, so con-
structed as to explode by conclusion, and
lowed by long line in such a way as to
come in contact with the hull of the Maine
Senior Du Bosc's indignant denial does not
touch this theory. and it is probably the one
that will be adopted by the court of inquiry

Warming to- Andrews.
Philadelphia Press.


We observe that President Andrews, Of
Brown University, has accepted invita-
ton to repeat in Richmond his eulogy upon
General Lee. No doubt he will have an en-
thusiastic hearing. And the hearing will
be all the more flattering if he manages to
weave in his eulogy upon Stonewall Jack
son. and to indorse incidentally JacksOn's
proposal that all Union prisoners should be
put to the sword. But we venture on a
word of caution. It is to- be hoped that
President Andrews will not, as at Chicago,
seek to elevate General Lee by depreciating
General Grant The Southern people, and
especially the surviving soldiers who fought
under Lee, recognize the grea tness of
Grant. 1t is a very poor compliment to Lee
to assert that the man to whom he sur
rendered was a weak. thipd-rate man. And
the Southern soldiers have not forgotten
the man who ordered that they should be
allowed to carry back home their horses to
aid them in working their farms. The
eulogist of General Lee may well remember
that the president of Washington Univer-
sity always spoke with respect of the
leader of the national forces, and would
never allow any one to traduce his great
antagonist. When d professor violated this
rule President Lee said 10 him sharnlv:
'Sir if / ever hear you again speak disre-
spectfully of General Grant, either you or /
will cease to be connected with this uni
versity" May commend this example
to President Andrews.

THE 1e-To-1 PRESCRIPTION.

The whereases and the resolution which
the Bryan Free-silver Club of ShelbyvilIe
fired at the Sentinel last week will not so
much annoy that paper as they will injure
the Democratic party. Much that is said
in the "whereases" of the course of the
Sentinel in 1896 is true. 1t was not In favor
of free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the present ratio when Mr.. Bryan was NOM
mated, and it was a painfully long time in
getting into line after the convention. A
year before the Bryan convention Governor
and in an interview published with his por-
trait declared that free coinage at the ratio
of 16 to would not do; but, with quicker
discernment than the Sentinel. Governor
Matthews was out and out for 16 to
months before the Chicago convention. As
for the Bryan Free-silver Club of Shelby
vile, it is doubtful If it's membership pays
for half dozen copies of the Sentinel.
But while the Sentinel can jeer at the
Shelbyville club, its attitude is full of evil
portent for the Democratic party, for the
reason that the club represents the senti-
ment of the intense and active element in
the party, and as such representative it has
made blind devotion to a ratio for coinage
the test Of party faith. 1t is not enough
that lifelong Democrats whose intelligence
rejects free coinage at the ratio of IL to
quietly vote the party ticket, but they must
stultify themselves by shouting that they
believe not only in the free coinage of sill
yer, but in the ratio of 16 to / when they
do not and cannot so believe. Such men
may continue to vote the ticket, but If it
can be asserted that at any time they have
dissented from the mine owners dictum
they must not be aspirants for Office. If the
element which the Bryan Free-silver Club
of Shelbyville represents can control the
next Democratic state convention no man
can be nominated who has ever expressed
a doubt regarding the wisdom or justice of
the 16-to-1 theory. Judge Hackney has ex-
pressed such doubt recently. while de-
claring a purpose to support the party
ticket, and the Shebyville club has turned
him out OF the party as far as 1t can. The
same element in Indianapolis has forced
Mayor Taggart to turn out of office four
or Ave competent officials. Even now the
mayor, to save himself from the denuncia-
ton Of the one-idea advocates of the ratio,
is compelled TO shout, Il am for 16 to l..
The Sentinel while shouting 16 to seems
to have sufficient foresight to understand
that the narrow test of fun party fealty set
UP by the opponents Of Judge Hackney is

The Lost Cause of "16 to -
Review ofIRevieWs.

The great army of American voters who
gathered about the standard of ''16 to II
in 1896 was not composed of men inferior
either in interest or intelligence. On the
contrary so far as the West and South
were concerned, they were men of an UNI
commonly high and keen sense of justice,
and with more than the average American
endowment of the reasoning or logical
faculties. The people who disparage them
are not possessed of large breadth of view.
Nevertheless these Western and Southern
voters, high minded and sincere as we be-
lieve them to have been, made the mistake
of attempting to settle practical business
questions by history and by logic, somewhat
as the Southern people generation ago at
tempted to settle a great practical con-
troversy by appeal to the history and
the theory of the rights of the sovereign
States of the federal Union 1t is a hard
thing and bitter thing for conscientious
men who have believed that great prin-
ciples were at stake to abandon cherished
cause. 1t is all the harder for the West
and South to abandon the ''16-to-I' con-
tention for the very reason that the East
has never been willing to see that the silver
banner has been borne in those parts of the
country with a very large measure of IDEAL
ism as well as gallantry-while the East has
never done half justice to the strength OF
the logical and historical argument for the
free coinage of silver at the time-honored
American ratio.
