her costly wars of recent times, Russia has
not distinguished herself much financially.
She was completely worn out by two years
fighting In a small corner of the Crimea.
Her short campaign against the Turks in
1878 so dlsorganized her finances that it
took them fifteen years to recover. The
Russians themselves are well aware of this
vital defect In their military power. and
they have Of late years made strenuous ef-
forts to remedy 1t. To that end both their
foreign policy and their financial policy are
being studiously directed. Assistance in
Strengthening Russian credit abroad and
replenishing the treasury at home has for
the past ten years been the price of Russian
friendship. Prince Bismarck, much as he
coveted the prize, seems to have thought
the terms demanded too high. He would
not throw open German savings to be ex-
plotted by the loan mongers and mortgage
brokers Of st. Petersburg. So little did he

curities tabooed in Berlin. and the Imperial

PROPOSED ALLIANCE

Against Allied Opposition to

We rejoice in the better understanding
which has come about between the sea
divided speakers of the English tongue;
we are not anxious that any immed date
attempt should be made to create a
formal alliance. 1t is quite enough at
present for the two peoples to feel that
they do not stand to each other in the
relation of foreigners. Men here have
felt that for some years, and on the other
side of the water they are beginning to
feel it, as was shown, for example, in
a very remarkable letter from an Amer
lean which we publish in another COL
umn. The statesmen of both countries
must have. of course, a perfectly free
hand toiarrange for joint action in regard
to the far east, the Philippines or China,
or to make any compacts for mutual help
and convenience; but the question of a
general alliance can quite we'll be left
over for the present. And for this rea-
son: The alliance is, in reality, already
made. And though, very possibly, we
shall have tiffs and grumblngs and news

past, nothing can now undo it. We have
said that the alliance is made, but per-

Somebody has dug up out Of Jennings
History of Vermont an entertaining story
of Admiral Georges godly ancestor, the
Rev. Jedediah Dewey. 1t seems that the
Rev. Jedediah was holding services in hon
or of the victory at Bennington, and, as
was right and proper, was giving Provi-
dence all the credit for the triumph of the
American arms. Ethan Allen, who was
present, chafed under this neglect Of his
own part In the battle, and, rising in his
pew in the middle Of the 'Iong prayer"
as 1t was called, said: "Parson Dewey,
Parson Dewey. Parson Dewey" The
clergyman stopped and opened his eyes.
The intrepid Allen went on: please men,

Coalition Against Anglo-saxons
AS we have said the danger of an anti
American coalition-and it was very
real danger-made both England and
Americ realize that in the last resort
they are one, and that neither power is
going to stand by and see the other OPP
pressed. OF course, we are not going to
help America in every petty war, nor they
us. In the future, as in the past, each
state will have its own foreign policy.
What, however, has happened. and can
not be altered, is the understanding be-
tween the two branches of the race that
in the last resort they will stand or fall to-
gether. If, then, we get into situation
of real peril, we may have the utmost con-
findence that the United States will come
to our assistance. We want no compact
to that effect, and we do not care If half
the statesmen of the union declare that
our proposition is extremely doubtful and
hold that though certain section might
like to help us. the majority would be too
prudent to interfere. For such opinions
we care little.
1t is indeed possible that more than half
the people in the United States would at
the present moment tell us plainly that
the nation must not be counted upon to
help England against continental COM
bination, and that it would entirely de-
pend upon circumstances-and so on and
so on. 1t would, we believe, depend on
nothing Of the kind. When 1t came to
the point. the Americans would not, and
could not, allow US to go under without
a desperate effort to help us. Imagine

the United States comes second with 49,

third, and Austro-H Hungary and the Ger

$500 900 EACH. France is credited with g.

Unity Of Our Race


AS we have said, we welcome with de-
light the realization Of the essential unity
of the race which Is coming upon both
nations. The thing existed, as we hold,
before; but since 1t was unrealized, half
its value was gone. But though we re-
gard this awakening with pleasure, we
must point out that there are certain dan
gers inseparable. from it. assfrom every
thing else that is human. The virtual
alliance of the Anglo-Saxon race confers
great powers and great strength, but it
is also fraught with great responsible
ties. If either the American or the Brit
ish people think that they can obtain for
our race anything like universal empire
by means of the alliance they will make
a fatal mistake. The Anglo-Saxon may
lead the world. may be the trustee for
all that is best in it, but If he tries to
dominate the globe in any selfish or
exclusive spirit he is. doomed to destruc-
ton. Only by acting unselfishly and un-
exclusively can the Anglo-saxons keep
their great position. Against universal
empire Providence has set its mandate.
Why has England been allowed to keep
the lead in the world Of commerce and
also to keep the commanw Of the sea?
DcCduSc EuSiduu lids utVeE attempted
to treat her rivals unfairly, has never
been monopolist or jealous trader, but
wherever her flag has flown has allowed
all men to trade on equal terms. In the
same way her command of the sea has
never been used for selfish ends or to
exclude and injure rivals. The chief fact
about our ninety-f1ve years command Of
the sea Is that we have used it to put
down the slave trade and to abolish
piracy. There was nothing Of the spirit
of the domineering monopoiist In such
faction as this. Let the Anglo-Saxons be
stirred by as bright dreams as they
please, but let them take these facts to
heart. II the Anglo-Saxon alliance is
made for mutual defense. and for fellow
ship in guarding the highest ideals Of
life, 1t will flourish and succeed. If It is
made with a desire to secure universal
dominance to our race 1t will perish from
the rottenness which ultimately over
takes every monopoly-be It the Roman
empire or a combination in oil and to-
bacco.-London Spectator.

The other couple Of the quartet remain at
home to defend the home pennant against
another pair of visiting players. This gives
fort an opportunity to win two pennants
in one game, If both couples of the Quartet
are the victors. The trophies are hung on
a line stretched above each table. Prizes are
given to the players at a victorious fort. In
a large company it Is not uncommon for a
fort to win fifteen to twenty pennants.
In the use of the chatting dish the abuse of
1t Is a point to be kept in mind. To fry and
to saute anything but trifle of seasoning
before the main ingredients are put in, is
not to be recommended. These fume-pro-
ducing operations belong to kitchen range
with Its ventilating hood. With our usual
a tendency to exaggerate chatting dish cook
cry. In its place, and deftly managed with
the proper materials set out in order before
hand, the utensl is a most useful one; but
made to do duty for which it was never in
tended, it brings upon itself opprobrium..
In Dreaming fish in the chatting dish, the
plebeian and inexpensive cod becomes as
toothsome as salmon or halibut, If properly
marinated. This seasoning should be ap-
piled half an hour before the fish is to be
creamed, and, of course, after it is boiled,
the latter should be faxed and carefully
freed from bones and skin. To table,
spoonful of olive oil add a Tablespoonful
of onion juice, the Juice of half a lemon, a
pinch of salt, bit of paprica, and celery
salt. Pour this mixture over the fish, turn
ing 1t with a fork that 1t may penetrate
throughout; then cream as usual.
Numbers Of young women have been

is not bad. The boxes are secure, and slip

Household Hints


Denver is splendid place for summer
gowns. The women who attended the re-
cent convention of women's clubs at that
city were delighted with the way In which
their dimities, organizes. and muslins re-
tanned their crispness. The sun is violently
hot, but the air Is so dry that stiffness In
fabrics is perfectly kept, Notwithstanding
the heat. A peculiar feature of the heat to
strangers in the city was the ease with
which one got relief from 1t. A New York
woman found herself waiting for a car, one
day during her convention stay there. on
the plaza in front of the state house. This
is a wide stretch of stone tagging, unbro-
ken by single tree, The sun was pitless in
it's heat and glare, and she had neither par
asol, fan, nor any other protection against
it's rays, and from experience she knew
that several minutes might elapse before
her car appeared. II shall have a sun

here many seconds and she looked des-
perately around for relief. Absolutely moth
ing but fiagpoe was in that stretch Of
plaza She saw that it cast narrow shadow
and in her extremity betook herself to this.
It Is positive fact that within those few
inches of shade the air was absolutely cool.
A sea of heat was all around her, but here
was a tiny island Of perfect comfort. So
impressed was she with the circumstance
that she commented later upon 1t to Den
yer woman and was told that this fact was

said, "is unknown here. Our horses are
never overpowered by the heat, because, as
you discovered, 1t Is always possible to get

One of the small but essential points In the
roasting of meats, often neglected or not
understood by the average kitchen priest

should be used to haste them. Start the fat

pings and then depend upon the juices to
continue the process. 1t should be remem-
bered, too. that all roast meats need hot

the favors are color pennants. Military
