brother Louis as leader of the Bona
partists. la view of French history
the last hundred years the probability
that a Bonaparte may once more sit on
the throne Of France is by no means
remote. The Panama and Dreyfus
scandals have done much to weaken
the hold of the republic upon the peo-
pie. When France is again in one of
her periodic revolutions If there is an

Not since the return of our troops
from the civil war thirty, three years
ago, has the halo of miltarism shone so
brightly in America. The soldier is
the hero Of the day. His welcome
home has been so sincere. so spontane-
Gus, that the fever-stricllen camp, the
terrors of jungle warfare, the weary
days and nights of exposure are forgot
ten. Brass buttons, chevrons and
miration of the public. This is but Il
taste of the state Of affairs which eX-
lists all over Europe. But abroad the
worship of the priest of Mars, the god
Of war, is not temporary. not the result
Of great achievements, of victories
won. 1t Is the result Of habit. Eng
land has had glorious exhibition OF
what her trained soldiers can do when
pitted against deryiSheS, who know
no defeat, who disregard the honor Of
warfare, who fear death III no shape
whatever, who Wreak their vengeance
on the dead and the wounded. Sir
Herbert Kitchener furnishes but an

Anglo-Saxon grit and perseverance.
But England's worship of her soldiers
expresses the feeling which every
European has when he sees the uni
form of his cOuntry's defenders. The
red jacket of the English soldier, the
cockade of the French private, the
corded blouse of the German guard,
the high-top boot Of the Russian Of
ficer-all arouse the patriotism of the
European to fever heat. But tie peO-
pie pay dear for their bauble. To sus-
tain the military department, to fur
nish gllttering uniforms, to equip
armies and navies, to pay the naughty
officers, and their still more naughty
subordnates. the common people are
burdened with a heavy weight of taxes,
their sons are drafted, their substance
cOnfiscated. But the great burden of
taxes Is not the only injustice. The
bandage is torn from the eyes of JUS
tice herself. and she is compelled to
deal partially with the soldier. Two
years ago an officer in the German
army brutality murdered a common citi-
zen without cause. The officer received
the severe punishment of three years
| Imprisonment: but the Kaiser could
not calmly look on while a soldier of
his was so degraded, so the officer has
| just been released by Wilhelm, after
serving but two years. In Europe the
| soldier is amenable to no law but the
military law, which law he must obey
| implicitly. If it demand that he sink
honor, manliness, character, there Is no
! alternative; If it require that he forge
letters he has no choice. If 1t cons1gn
| the innocent to suffer, he cannot rem
Onstrate. He Is a mere automaton; his
pleasures, his opinions, belong to the
state Army officers direct him: the
common people respect him; he is blest
of the gods, and woe to the citizen who
does not fall down blindly before the
Moloch Of militarism. America Is
proud OF her defenders. Their slightest
wish is law, be that wish reasonable
But the public will never tolerate In
justice or brutality, even in soldier.
America has formulated her laws ac-
cording to the best light she has, and
they apply to every citizen in this re-
public.

HOLLANDS SUBMARINE BOAT

I'VE want to demonstrate the power
and value of a submarine boat of this
size, containing the highest type OF
machinery and warlike instruments
known. AS to its success l have no
doubt.
The second BOAT I built carried me
all over New York harbor under wa
ter. l could steer it in any direction
and raise or lower it at will. 1t was
a crude affair compared with What we
now have at1oat. Then electric stor-
age batteries We're unknown. We seek
speed and power. Our present boat
will carry three Whitehead torpedoes,
a dozen projectiles for the aerial tor
pedo thrower, each containing 1OO-lb.
charges, with a range over the water
of 1880 yards.
With this boat we a lombard a
fort, whose guns will be helpless to
return the fire, for the BOAT cannot be
seen. With it we can enter any har-
Dor, regardless of torpedoes or OBJ
structions, and blow away every i'm
pediment in its path. Havana could
be reached and bombarded in spite Of
the Spanish fleet. Mines could be ex-
ploded ahead of us.
The first and greatest desideratum
in a submarine boat is simplicity. Each
man has n thing to do and nothing

lot, n Operator or assistant pilot,
one electrician, one engineer and two
torpedo experts.
six men a run this boat under any
fleet of Warships in any harbor, at
tack anything on land or sea, and at
the same time disappear after each
discharge of guns and always be out Of
reach Of the enemy's fire. There is much
less danger in a submarine BOAT of this
kind than on any surface boat.
IF we make a success, and these
boats become an established feature
OF marine and naval service, they will
De used for carrying passengers thro'
the rough sea between Dover and Ca
la1s. They are absolutely safe and free
from motion. Neither fogs nor storms
can have any effect on them. There will
be no collisions, for they sail far below
the deepest ocean liners. The passage
across the English channel can be
made along h bottom of the sea in
from one to two hours. With COM
pressed air in steel tubes, such as we
use in this boat, the ventilation will be
perfect. These tubes stand q pressure
of 5000 pounds to the square inch.
II consider hat there is nothing
problematic about this system Of sub
marine warfare. Every point has been
demonstrated.
In 1883, when I was sailing around
on the bottom Of New York harbor, l
found that we could go anywhere with
perfect safety. Off Castle Point, Ho-
boken, we were within three feet of
the rocky bottom and forty-seven feet
below the surface. Yet at that depth
the engine worked perfectly, giving us
a speed Of line miles an hour. With
our present boat I expect to go six
teen knots an hour before 1 finish her"

Suitable Food.

Blanched almonds give the higher
nerve or brain M muscle food; no
heat or waste.
Walnuts give nerve or brain food,
muscle, heat and waste.
Pine kernels give heat and stay. They
serve as a substitute for bread.
Green water grapes are blood purify
ing, but of little food value; reject pips
n skins.
Blue grapes are feeding and blood
purifying; too rich for those who suffer
from the liver.
Tomatoes: higher nerve or brain food
and waste; no heat; they are thinning
and stimulating: do not swallow skins.
Juicy fruits give more or less the
higher nerve or brain, and, some few,
muscle food and waste; no heat.
Apples supply the higher nerve or
brain food; supply heat and waste, but
are not muscle-feeding. They should be
avoided by those who suffer from the
liver.
Oranges are refreshing and feeding,
but are not good if the liver is out Of
order.
Green figs are excellent food.
Dried figs contain nerve and muscle
food, heat and waste, but are bad for
the liver.
All stone fruits are considered to be
injurious for those who suffer from
the liver, and should be used eau
tiously.

not quite SO good as a %Spaniard. If a
Spaniard should go to Havana when
he is two weeks old and spend all his
life in that city or upon a plantation,
he would still be a Spaniard and enjoy
the distinction and social position a
Cuban never attains. The sons and
daughters of a Spaniard are Cubans
if they are born in Cuba; but the sons
and grandsons and great-grandsons of
a Cuban must always be Cubans, no
matter if they were born in Madrid
and spend their whole lives in that

him, and from the Spanish point of
view is a degenerate.

This Meteor Fell Hard.

lies the remarkable meteor whose ap-

plowed up nearly W. acres of ground

entrance to the cave it tunneled out

TYPE OF DAIRY COW.

A Wisconsin farmer who has had
much valuable experience with cows,
remarked to us, not long since, that in
looking over his life and practice with
his cattle, he was struck with his own
growth in definite ideas concerning the
true type of a dairy cow.
Said he: When I first began about 80
years ago, l had a very confused idea
or standard in my mind on this cow
question. l had been raised with what
we call native cattle. My father set
the standard in my mind, for what we
we could produce. 1t was simply the
general purpose" animal.
We had never studied up on the ques-
ton; had no idea of specific dairy
breeds, nor much of any idea of what
a COW should produce to take her into
the domain of even fair profit. Every
where in h business, from the COW to
her feed, he character of the stable,
the way she should be treated and fed.
the handling of the milk, the making
and selling of the butter, all of our
ideas were of a very mixed n crude
character. OF course we made but lit
tie profit out of our cows. l can see
it now. 1t never fairly entered my
mind that there was a cow of a special
dairy type, special dairy blood, that il
fed and handled in a true dairy way,
would bring in a special dairy profit.
I had no clear ideas about the proper
way to breed such a cow, and because
I had no idea in my mind of the true
dairy type, my COWS were Of all sorts
and conditions. I stood just where
thousands of farmers stand today.
II did not believe in any of these
things until I heard o talk On the
Dairy Temperament inCatt)e,' in a farm
institute, and it gave me new ideas.
You illustrated your talk with large
pictures of What the dairy farm is,
and should be. and told the farmers
to go home and study their own herds.
and see if their best COWS were not al
most universally of hat form n type.
l did so, and found you were correct.
II then set to work to procure a bull
Of clear, decided dairy blood, with the
best line of dairy mothers behind him
I could get.
Il became greatly interested in he
problem. AS soon as nay ideas chang
ed, my cows began to change. In ten
would produce more milk and butter.
and consequently profit, tha sixty of
such cows as I started with.
"Hoard's Dairyman, n such books
as I have been enabled to get, have
given me a new set of ideas or stand
ards to work from.
II want to say one thing: If a farmer
uoes HoI nave lHe udlfy type III LIS
mind, he will never ave it in his cows.
I am making a dollar today easier than
I made ten cents twenty year.
but I can't convince many of my neigh
bors Of it even yet"
We asked him why it was hat they
seemed so hard to convince of the bet
ter way. His answer was full Of mean
ing:
"Oh," said he, they won't read on
the question. Show me a reading dali
ryman n I'll show you a man, in al
most every instance, who has good
COWS of the true dairy type, and who
is making the best profit that can be
obtained in the business"
If a mar reads, he obtains food for
thought, he gets hold of better ideas,
and does not go along, year after year.

Felt Like Napoleon.

Did you ever have your fortune told
and the whole secret of your life un-
folded from the palm of your hand? It
costs but rs cents for a general outline
of your life. While you are getting it
you are startled by the close applica-
ton of many of the statements to your
own case. Later, when you think it
over, you realize how your vanity has
been played upon by a clever woman.
Your experience will be like this. It
is the life history Of the writer as re-
vealed by his palm, but it will fit any
of his friends Of his own age.
"Ah, I see that early you had to
make up your own career" That classes
you right up with Napoleon and his
set and makes you feel good.
Your logic is good and you think
many things O do not say"
At first this impresses you as being
peculiarly true Of yourself, but on
afterthought who does not think more
than he says?
"You have a good mind" That you
admit to yourself readily.
And you can say or write your
thoughts in a few words that are to
the point" By this time you feel like
confessing to the palmist that you are
est to own up. She almost reads your
your thoughts as she says
Your life has been spent working

you have. She brings you back by
making some horrible misstatement
about your matrimonial and love az

there are happier times ahead.
