We do not realize the intense vitality of the Emperor, his eagerness to be up and doing, participating in some way in every event of importance. Nobody complained when His Majesty tele- graphed to the Oxford crew on their winning the boatrace, yet surely Cam bridge might have felt aggrieved had they not realized that 1t was the ex- uberant delight of a good sportsman over a good crew winning a good race.
 So long as we only have an oppor- tunity of judging the German Emper- or from his action and his speeches as reported in our newspapers, so long, I am afraid, will he remain more or less unpopular in this country. His actions and his words are there, and they do not please us; but the man is not there to impress himself upon us. The vitality which prompts his act ions and the love of excitement which is responsible for those speeches are hidden from us; we are distrustful, we don't exactly know what of, but we are distrustful: so we shake our insular heads and say, We do not like the German Emperor" We should, perhaps, be less wrong if we rushed to the opposite extreme.-Lord Osborne in The Saturday Review.

POOR AND PROUD.

They say Spain is proud. She is cer- tainly poor. The Cuban debt amounts to $2S9, ,00O, 900 in and per cent bonds, the interest and sinking fund charges payable in gold, and $16O,0O0OO0 in Spanish customs guaranteed per cent. bonds, the interest and sinking fund charges payable in pesetas. In addi- ton there was on January 1, 1898, $70,- 000,000 due to the army, navy and civil functionaries, pensioners and contrac- tors for several months arrears. The annual charge for interest and sinking fund, to be met by Cuba in the event of it's assumption of this debt, would be about $42, ,20S, 200, and Cubans declare that they would not Day it. On the other hand Spain now carries all the tax burdens which she can stand. She now raises $16O,oOOO 900 by taxation an- nually, and has a debt of over $1,0S4,- 100000, with an annual charge of nearly $6S, 100000 for interest and sinking fund. Of credit Spain has little or none, out side her own boundaries.
 Of course this doesn't mean that Spain couldn't raise any more money. She probably could raise some. But a costly war and defeat at the end would leave her in pretty bad shape.

KEEP Co0L.

The people of this country have been patient and discreet during all the try ing time since the Maine disaster. They have been beset by their own feelings and by the yellow papers, but they haven't lost their heads. They should not and will not lose them now that 'the crisis" is at hand. They are anxiously awaiting the report of the court of inquiry and when it comes there may be cause for renewed ex- citement in it. There may not be. But if there is the people should not al- low excitement to conquer reason and steadiness. There is good man at the helm in Washington and he can be trusted to act with wisdom and a due regard for right and justice.

 "All right, MT. Webster, quickly re- sponded the Nantucketer. Here's your 5000, You come down, and I'll fix is so you can try every case"
 Webster was so amused over this proposition that he kept his word. He spent the entire week in Nantucket, and appeared on one side or the other in every case that came up for hearing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in litigation, and received in return about $1,5OO, so that he got Webster's services for nothing, and made a good profit to boot.

MI1wAUKEE oAILDnNN,s

Just now many are trying to find out what children are thinking about. Members of the Child-Study Club in Milwaukee have been trying to learn what books children like, and why Their method of investigation was to ask the children, inquiries being di- rected to pupils in the fifth, sixth, sev- enth and eighth grades of the public schools. Answers to the first question, made by sixty-six boys and the same number of girls, as to what books had been read in the preceding eleven months, showed that the girls had read 513 books and the boys 516 The girls read about twice as much fiction as the boys, something like 443 books, while the boys outclassed the girls in histori- cal reading, reading 109 books to the girls 19, the proportion of their excess in books of adventure being about the same. The ages at which the most TeduluS was uOle were u, ll ana lo, the ages of the children questioned be- ing from g to r. Of the total number of books read 1O3 were by Louisa M. Alcott, who by all odds seemed to be the favorite author, her "Old- Fashion ed Girl' and Little Men'' figuring in the list of books liked best" The others on this list included "The Birds Christmas Carol,' "Black Beauty" Uncle Toms Cabin and "Elsie Dins- more," the reasons for the choice being almost invariably because "they told of other boys and girls.' The books that fell under the ban of childish taste included Little Dorrit," "be- cause it was too old;" Grimm's Fairy Tales, because they were short and silly" and "Christy's Christmas" be- cause "the boy was too good to be a boy"
 Such investigations as these are per haps not as important as they seem to some, but it is interesting to know that the children of western city are not reading "Coin" and other such books, if there are other such

appeared to be continued to the scroll at the foot of the skirt. Indeed, it blended into the lower scrool so celev- erly that a peep of supposed under dress of velvet seemed to be given there. The yoke, of course, matched the velvet band on the skirt.
 Now, the princess effect there was perfect and so easily accomplished as to make copying simple to home dress makers who couldn't safely attempt the princess cut Another gown em- phasized the effect by putting little frill of taffeta under the edge of the scroll of braid. In still another case buttons, apparently safe in their but tonholes, extended all down the skirt as if continuation of the buttons on the bodice Though almost all these dresses make the break of belt effect at the waist, it is done without inter- fering with the princess intent.
 A trick that has been so much used that it has become too transparent to deceive any but the most casual ob- server is the continuation over the skirt of the bodice's band of trimming when that was like the ornamental strip of this picture. This has been done so often that it really adds but little, and the arrangement shown, which, of course, abandons all princess pretense, is preferable. This dress was sketched in brown poplin, criss-crossed with scarlet lines, and was lined with brown taffeta. Its bodice had a yoke, with collar and band down the center, Of white satin embroidered with gold and cerise. Its fiuted epaulettes were plain white satin. FLORETTE.

A FAMOUS DUELLIST.

One of the most notorious of French duellists at the period of the restora- tion of the Bourbons in 1915, when scarcely day passed without hos tile meeting, was the Count de Laril- Here, a native of Bordeaux. At that time he was a man of about thirty five tall, well made and with polished manners. His appearance, indeed, utterly belied the recklessness of his disposition.
 One day, as he was walking with a friend in the principal street of Bor- deaux, he saw approaching them one of the richest and most respected mer- chants of the town, with his newly married wife on his arm. Larilliere advanced toward them, hat in hand, with all the outward semblance of a well-bred man about to make a speech of more than ordinary politeness.
 T beg your pardon said he, ad- dressing himself to the merchant, who, with his wife, had halted abruptly, but I have just made a bet with my friend, whom I have the honor of pre- senting to you"-here he introduced his friend in due form-"that will kiss your wife on your arm''-the merchant, knowing the counts character and reputation, here became deathly pale after having given you a box on the ear"
 Saying this, the miscreant stared inn pudently in the face of the amazed merchant, and in spite of all the re- sistance he could offer put both threats into immediate execution. A challenge and a meeting followed, which result ed in the injured party receiving his death wound, and the aggressor going forth in search of new victims.

There is a. great deal of glib talk about war, humanity, national honor, etc, etc, Some people are for blowing Spain sky high on general principles. And many think that humanity and national honor demand that this coun- try shall take upon itself the responsi- bility of settling the Cuban question, even at the cost of war. The strongest reason for interference is perhaps the one that is named humanity And yet there is another side to that. Ex- Senator George F. Edmunds of Yer mont is one of the most level-headed men in the country. He says that i've cannot with clear consc.ence kill and main thousands of our own citizens to relieve the Spanish subjects in Gu ba from their dreadful condition" It may be said that this is not altruistic enough and that the men of this coun- try could not die better than in facing opdnlSH IoeS III uelence or human ana Cuban rights. Perhaps not, but 1t is hard to see just how the woe and loss that would come to this country from a war with Spain would help us or add enough to the general good to make up for the general loss. War is always an evil and generally crime. This country should and will think at least twice before it enters into a war that might make more trouble than it would relieve.

The wife of the new Chinese minister to this country recently said to an in terviewer, through her husband, Min ister Wu: Why do the American wo- men lace themselves with corsets? I am surprised that so enlightened na- tion, with its independence of thought and action, should so long cling to what is simply a following of precedent. Of course you will reply that Chinese wo- men still bind their feet. But it is different with us in the East We are a conservative people, bound by long ages of custom, though am happy to say that there is to-day on foot a wide spread movement for the abolishment of the custom of deforming the feet of our women. Personally, I am opposed to the practice, and believe that the day is not far off when it will be dis continued altogether. Yet, when I was young the very suggestion of such a change would have been treason.

HIRED WEBSTER FOR A WEEK.


 Of course. Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for his services. A sharp Nantucket man is said to have got the better of the great defender of the Constitution in an amusing way, however. He had a small case which was to be tried at Nantucket, one week in June, and he posted to Webster's office in great haste. It was contest with a neigh bor over matter of considerable local interest, and his pride as a litigant was at stake. He told Webster the particulars, and asked what he would charge to conduct the case.
 Why said Webster, you can't afford to hire me. I should have to stay down there the whole week, and my fee would be more than the whole case is worth. I couldn't go down

A message in a bottle purporting to be from the lost North German Lloyd steamer Elbe, which came ashore re- gently at Saint Malo on the French coast, turns out to be a swindle. The bottle contained the visiting card of a man named Bernhard Ramsperger and written on it was a farewell to his sweetheart in a village of the Black Forest. The message was sent by the finders to it's address. when it turned out that Ramsperger left the place to escape an indictment two years after the loss of the Elbe, that he has writ ten within year from New York to have newspapers sent to him, and that he probably threw the bottle overheard last year on the voyage to New York in the hope of throwing the police off his track.
