Ohio and president Of the United States.
There are great many ifs in the POI
l;tical world, and one Of them most often
used by friends of Tom Reed goes with
the expressions: "If Mckinley had been
elected speaker of the Fifty-frst con-
gress, aud Tom Reed hadAbeen made
chairman of ways and means, as he
would have been, the country would
have had tariff bill called the Reed
bill, and Tom Reed might have reached
the presidency as Mckinley reached it,
The speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives occupies an exalted position.
It is very difficult to secure access to
him. Strangers in Washington must
have their representatives or senator's
go to his Office room with them in order
to pass the door where sable messen-
ger guards the entrance. BY the way,
that messenger is the son of an Africa n
American Methodist Episcopal bishop.
There is no assumption of authority
in this official condition. Speaker Reed
is obliged to be exclusive and bar the
public out, because he has so much bust
ness to attend to that he cannot have
time to indulge in social greetings.
Nevertheless, whenever senator or
member of congress goes to his office,
the door is promptly opened and the
visitors are permitted to enter. Every
body who calls with right to enter his
room. finds there genial gentleman,
who is one of the most entertaining
men in this country; or, for that mat
ter, in the world.
Just few months ago, distin-
guished editor in a northwestern citv
visited Washington with his daughter
in-law, and was viewing the rotunda of
the: capitol when Speaker Reed passed
through that spacious place. A news
paper man who is we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Reed called to him and said: "Are
you in very much of hurry?'
II am always in hurry" said Mr..
Reed, "but I can steal little time for
friend even when am busy"
"Well, 1 want to introduce a couple
of friends who are visiting Washing ton
for the first and only time in their
lives" said the newspaper man.
''In such case," said Mr.. Reed, II
will steal an hour if necessary. am
always glad to meet people who come
to the capital city of their country"
Then, taking the hand of the north
western editor and his daughter-in-law,
Mr.. Reed said: II must congratulate
you on your good fortune. You are see
ing the national capital on day when
the weather is good, and your sight
seeing cannot be interrupted by heavy,
cloudy skies, or disagreeable fogs and
drizzling rains. It is always pleasure
to me to meet with visitors here"
No man in private life, in black
smith shop, in carpenter shop, clerk
in store or a worker in a machine
shop could have been more affable and
polite and agreeable than was this big
man from Maine, when introduced to
strangers who were viewing the ca pitol
building in the capital city. He is q

A Hawaiian Custom.

There is a pretty custom in the Ha-
waiian islands of decorating popular
resident or visitor on leaving the is
land with wreaths and streamers of
flowers which are hung around the
neck and on every available part of
the frock and hat. These wreaths are
composed principally of carnations, Of
which large quantities are grown for
the purpose. A native yellow flower
with q powerful scent is employed to
this end. These wreaths, or "leis," aai
they are called in the vernacular, are
also presented to women on every pos
sible occasion by their men friends

JAPANESE MUSIC.


To one who never heard it it is impos-
sible to give definite idea of Japanese
music, and to one who hears it for the
first time it must either repel or
strangely attract. For it's fantastic in
tervals and fractional tones demand a
totally new sense of musical apprecia-
ton and call into being raw set of mu-
steal sensations. Notes and vibrations
unknown in our scale of sound emerge
from some mysterious center and play
upon nerves hitherto dormant and I'M
divided by us, while from the throat of
the singer issue cadences belonging not
to the western voice but awakening in
and more intangible than those of a
forgotten dream. 1t is as if an hitherto
closed door between sense and spirit
had been suddenly thrown open. One
feels that if reincarnation be true, one
might through this door alone remem-
Der and reconstruct those vanished ex.
istences. Only in the tones of their own
Unguisu, a bird which has but three
notes, have heard anything so occult
Japanese music is like Japanese art,
which, with its unperceived spirit sense
and symbolism, its strange method OF
brush handling, might seem merely
grotesque at first, but which gradually
reveals to the initiated eye mysteries
within mysteries of artistic form and
perception, until presently one finds
ones self encompassed by a new art
world where technique is subordinated
to feeling and whose finest effects are
obtained through the art of omission
AS, for instance, in the great paint
ings of Fujiyama the sacred mountain
itself is discovered to be the bare white
implanted silk, as if color and the line
could be but the boundaries and outer
confines of pure isolated idea. So in
Japanese music, it's methods are not
ours. Its climaNes come in crashes OF
silence, in sustained and soundless
pause, the notes subordinated to ST.
lent something, an inner sense, which
while restraining or even REFRESHING
sound, is the very ecstacy of musical
sensation.
In vain we attempted to analyze this
subtle effect, to reduce it to the terms
of our musical consciousness. It defiec
and eluded us as spirit must always defy
and elude sense. And we perforce con
tented ourselves with following the
strange, rounded, isolated notes, sus
tanning ourselves breathlessly on it:
wonderful pauses and yielding to the
irregular cadenced charm of the singer
whose face, at first so unremarkable
seemed to grow of shining effulgenct
as she thus interpreted to US an I'M
known world.-Washington Star.

very strong man and very conserva-
tive man, but he is, all the time, q
gentle man.
The chief justice of the supreme court
of the United States, Melville w. Fuller;
the president pro tempore of the United
States senate, William P. Frye; the
speaker of the national house of repre-
sentatives, Thomas Bracket Reed, and
other distinguished citizens and Off
Gals who are alumni of Bowdoin col
lege, had meeting here recently, and
Speaker Reed, who is a graduate of
that college, said:
IF anyone had,told me when was at
Bowdoin that would ever run for con-
gress or that I should ever be elected if
did run for that or any other political
office, I should never have believed it,
Mr.. Reed said as he looked back Upon
his college days it was not the bright
fellows who had prospered who had the
largest place in his heart, but that place
was given to some Of the ''scapegraces."
That picture of Speaker Reed at
banquet among his friends shows him
to very good advantage. Nevertheless
he is entirely human and just like lots
OF people whom you know, and who
may. be possessed of similar ability, but
have not had political opportunities.

CELERIFERE--DANDY HORSE.
These Were the Two Earliest Form.
of the Bicycle and They Were
Used 200 Years Ago.

In the year 1890 NJ. de Sivrac.' q
Frenchman, first hit upon the notion
of making vehicle upon two wheels,
while its rider sat astride saddle on
wooden beam to which two cross
pieces were firmly fixed. At the end
of these cross-pieces there were wheels.
kept in position by lath-like connect
ing rod. The frame represented some
animal. This primitive bicycle, known
as the celerifere, was never fitted with
handle bars, and was steered only by
the feet of the rider, which also had
to keep his balance. In mounting he
had to run alongside and vault nto the
saddle: Once the machine had been
well set going by push upon the
ground with the feet, the man upon it
would draw them up, bending his knees,
and without further effort could travel
some distance. When the pace slack
ened the rider had to repeat the push
ing, and so continue his journey. Much
ground was covered in this way on level
roads, and especially downhill, in a
short space of time; but it was hard to
go uphill.
1t has been claimed by some that tho
celerifere was the invention of another
Frenchman named Blanchard, whom
Louis XVI. once commanded to perform
before him on this vehicle in July, 1899.
Beyond the fact that such a perform
ance took place, on that and other occa-
sions in public, there is nothing to sup
port this claim. In fact, it was not
until Blanchard had crossed over to
England that he excited interest; once
there, however, he was favored by tho
duke of York and began to attract at
tention. Under the fostering care of
royalty the celerifere, then known as
the Dandy horse" became popular
among the English, who toolsto it with
enthusiasm, but were soon laughed out
of their fancy by jolxers and cartoon
ists.-Frank H. Vizetelly, in St. Mich

OLD NAVAJO BLANKETS.
Such as the Indians Used to Make Are
Now So Rare as to Be Al
most Priceless.

DR.. W. H. Work, of Charleston, lately
returned from trip to Arizona and
brought back with him several Navajo
blankets. ''But," he remarked, SORROW
fully, they are not what they used
to be. The Navajos are too improvident
and lazy to make such blankets as they
used to make in the years gone by and
before the white man began to banker
after that particular weave.
"The blankets now turned out are
pitiful and tawdry affairs compared
with those of bygone times. Those of
to-day can be bought for about $50,
while real old-fashioned blanket is
really priceless and cannot now be
bought. Those ancient blankets were
half an inch thick and would hold water
as well as wooden tub. The finest of
them are found with bodies of dead
chiefs, and they are practically indie
structible.
1.-The women who weave the blankets
of to-day can make the old-fashioned
blankets just as well, for they know
the secret of manufacture, but the
cheaper blanket is easily sold, and takes
only short time to make, while it
would take nearly year to weave one
of the real blankets, those glorious COM
binations of colors and material, one of
which would easily be worth $500.
"They have an exquisite color sense,
these women, and blend their materials
perfectly. The coloring is fast and is
made of vegetable and mineral matter,
the secret of the making being handed
down from generation to generation. A
tribe can be known by the color scheme
of its blankets. The designs vary great
ly. Sometimes religious ceremonies
are typifed, sometimes tribal and
sometimes personal history or other
themes, all of which may be read by
those skilled in the sign and color Ian
guages of these Indians.
"How are the blankets made? Oh,
the manner is very primitive and seems
simple enough. They are woven on up
right frames by hand, and the threads
are pounded together as tight as pos
sible. But the glory Of the Navajo blan-
ket has departed, and I expect before
many years the secret of their making
will be lost."-Indianapoli News.

Diplomatic Economy of Persia.

His excellency Mira Mahmoud Khan,
the snah's ambassador at Constanti-
nople, holds his distinguished office
upon conditions which are quite with
out precedent in the diplomatic world.
The lord of the lion and the sun does
not devote a penny of his revenue to
maintaining representative at SIAM
boul. He has in that city about Il, 900
subjects, and these are duly taxed for
the purpose. Mira Mahmoud has no
reason to complain of the arrangement,
for by the help of half dozen able
bodied collectors he secures an income
of about 100000. True, he is COM
PEELED to hand over 6 1000 yearly to his
colleague at Vienna, but the balance en-
ables him to live very comfortably. The
contributors, however, insist upon his
spending a certain amount on hospital
ity, and whenever he gives a dinner
party committee of taxpayers is post
ed in an anteroom, whence they can sat-
isfy themselves that their ambassador
does the thing in proper style, and
keeps up the dignity of the nation

Philippines from her control. It was
said that only by quickly yielding to
our demands in Cuba could this loss
possibly be :averted. Spain, it was ar
gued, was confronted with a situation
which promised naught save disaster in
case she elected to force more fighting.
The superiority of superior fleet mas
been demonstrated in the Pacific. and
the same, it is contended, would be in
evitable in the Atlantic in case the clash
comes. From whatever point of view
considered, the policy of more fighting
upon the part: of Spain promises moth
ing but more Spanish misfortune. Navy
officers think this view must prevail
with the Spanish government, and be-
lieve an end of the war, upon the basis
of Cuban independence, is. to follow
soon, and that, too, without further
notable opportunity for the American
navy to:prove its power and distinguish
itself. ..: ..
No news of definite character is
given concerning the loss sustained by
Admiral Dewey's squadron, and it is
scarcely likely, in the opinion of experts
of the navy. that authent tic information
will be received until Admiral Dewey
has opportunity to communicate Off
cially with the department. 1t is re-
garded as probable that Immediately
after the engagements of Sunday Ad-
miral Dewey. sent the revenue cutter
McCulloch back to Hong Kong with dis
patches, and that the first information
from him will come from that point.
The distance from Manila to Hong
Kong is trifle over 600 miles, and it
will take the McCulloch about two days
to make the trip. .--.. I. !.
