Aristocracy Under Difficulties.

Mr.. Henry Thurston Peck
touches the tenderest spot in the
nerve-centres of American aris
tocracy in the following very
clever diagnosis, taken from a re-
cent article published by him in
the Cosm opolitan:
"The fact that is Just now so
terribly depressing to our ready
made patrlcians is the lack of any
general recognition from the COM
mon herd, a general refusal to take
them at all seriously, And this is
fatal to an aristocratic ideal. 1t
is all very well to feel intensely
that you are a most superior per-
son. and that you are better than
most you meet, but if you can't
get them to think so too you will
only half enjoy your lofty position
you will very often be made quite
unhappy. When you 60 forth

They hold strange views about
art in Japan. Travellers in the
land of flowers have frequently
remarked the strange customs of
public baths, where both sexes
commonly mingle. But what is
considered right and proper in
every day life will not be tolerated
in canvas or stone representations
of it. The nude in art has been
unqualifedly condemned by pub
lie opinion. Recently the Japan
ese Minister of home affairs has
prosecuted both editor and pub
Usher of magazine for inserting
a picture of nude female. The
works of Mr.. Kuroda, japanese
student of the Partisan art schools,
have excited the utmost astonish-
ment in Japan, Notwithstanding
the favorable notices given them
in the French capital.

"ZACK.

The newest literary sensation is
young Englishwoman, Miss
Gwendoline Keats, who was born
in Deyonshire 80 years ago. Her
pen name is "Zack, and her forte
is short stories, which her admir-
ers say are powerfully told, "
dealing with episodes in the hum
bic walks of village life in Devon
shire. She runs greatly to dialect
"a dialect which may be intelllgl-
BILE in Clovelly and Bideford town
but which requires footnotes and
a profuse glossary for the lnstruc-
tion Of the general, and brings
despair to even the most hardened
kailyard enthusiast. Her chief
production is called Life is Life,
and the shrewd critic who distrib-
utes discreet blame and praise in
the weekly Times-Democrat thus
deals with it:
"There is real pathos in the slts
uation of the blinded and broken
Humphrey, and also in the humble
lives of the poor umbrellamender
and his wife; but Zack does her
best to spoil both by her artificial
itv. 1t is characteristic of Zack,
and others of her school, that she
gives the umbrella-mender's wife
no name, but merely calls her "the
woman" That is one way OF be-

to the burden. There is only one
moment at which her courage fails
her,-when she learns that heI
husband is to die of a lingering,
painful disease. GAY, mother,
says the man, trying to comfort
her, Saint us allies said how life
was life;" and she cries in return,
"Life's life; but oh, Joe, lad, 'tis
hard to live it. One feels the
heartache in that passage; but the

A LITTLE LEFT.

All Spain's chivalry has not
been laughed away yet. A cor
respondent of the New York Sun
tells the following rather pitiful
little story:
can Interesting story was told
today by naval officer who was in
one of the battleships that we're in
the engagement with Ceryera's
squadron. He said that during
the chase after the Colon the
watchers on the Oregon and the
Brooklyn saw the Spanish flag on
the Colon hauled down. This was
taken to mean that the ship had
surrendered. But the Colon did
not slacken speed, and the two
American armor-olads kept up
their racing clip. For fifteen min
utes the Colon steamed along
without any colors at the mast
head, and then another Spanish
flag went up and the fighting was
renewed. After the surrender OF
the Colon some of the American
officers asked officers of the Colon
why they had hauled down their
FLAG when they didn't intend to
surrender. The explanation was
characteristic. The Spanish Off
GERS said that the flag had been
presented to the Colon by the
! ladies of Cadiz, and the officers had
taken a vow never to surrender II
to an enemy. So when they saw
they were caught they hauled
down the flag and burned it Then
they hoisted arother flag that had
no such sentimental attachm ents,

CHEERFUL VIEW,

Starting without capital and
without experience, the South has
already practically monopolized
the coarse cotton trade, and is
pushing into finer goods with the
determination to capture that too.
1t is needless for Great Britain or
New England to argue against it.
The logic of facts, of things al
ready accomplished, dlsproves all
their arguments. No one pre-
tends to say that the South will
spin and weave every bale of cot
ton that it raises, New England,
Great Britain and the continent
will continue as cotton-manufac-
turing centers, but the future great
growth of this industry will be in
the South. Cotton production and
consumption are not stationary,
The worlds needs are growing,
Increasing wealth of the masses
increases the requirements per
capita of cotton goods. The ex-
tension of civilization into the
dark places of the world opens
new fields for cotton goods. Civil
ization's advancement is measured
by the increase in cotton consump-
ton. This increase is progress
sive, 1t must go on constantly,
and the 0,00O,O00-bale crop,
which looks no larger than 6, 200,
OOO-b bale crop did ten years ago,
must be exceeded before many
years by 100000 bales, and
then 5000, 600 and gradually on
as the worlds ever-increasing re-
umrements shall demand.-From

THE BIRTH OF AN EMPIRE.

The history Of the year 1S9,
will have stirring events to record
but among its annals the chief will
be unquestionably the expansion
of the United States and the ire
sistible march of the English
through the Nile valley. There
is something awful about this
steady, unrelenting, inevitable
campaign of conquest 1t has
been us deliberate as nature, as
slow as time, as inexorabIe as fate.
Who can for Il moment doubt the
final accomplishment of England's
avowed determination to rule
Africa from the Nile Delta to
Cape of Good Hope; and who
doubts that the Founder of En-
pires will here, in time, establish
a realm equaling in grandeur, if
not surprising, the splendid re-
suits of like enterprises in America,
India and Australia! The great
plan, Of which Omdurman was
but an incident, is Il practical illus
tration, before our own eyes, Of
that steadfastness OF purpose which
is the secret of England's con-
stantly increasing power and
gradual growth over the world.
The episode of the French at
Fashoda is a trivial obstacle in
this invincible onward march. 1t
is like the hand of a petulant child
trying TO stop the movement of
some mighty engine. The future
of the Nile Valley and of Africa
is foreshadowed in the following
extract from an editorial of the
London Times:
''It seems probable that for the
present the question of the future
civil government of the vast region
which has been reconquered to
civilization will not be determined.
For the moment military admin
will best meet the needs |
of a country devastated for so
many years by war, famine, pestl-
lence, and massacre. In the mean
while the gunboats, unless they |
are stopped by the vegetable de-
posts above Fashoda, will be able
to explore the upper waters of the
White Nile and hold out a hand to
Major MacDonald's eXpedi-
ton from Uganda, They are not
likely, it would seem, to meet with
serious opposition from any quar-
ter When they have done their
work it will be necessary to settle
the future Of the valley of the
Nile"

A PARABLE.

A certain farmer in Texas not
a hundred miles from Greenville
sat down with his family to break
fast. They sat in chairs made in
Indiana, the table was made in
st. Louis, the dishes were made
in New York, the knives, forks,
and spoons were imported from
England; the biscuits were made
of flour from Kansas, shortened
with lard from Missouri, cooked
on Il stove made in Chicago, and
his coffee was served with sugar
from Louisiana. When breakfast
was over he drove to town IN a
wagon made in Ohio, while his son
went out with a $40 gun made in
Pennsylvania and an imported SO
dog to kill tive-cent birds for dim
ner. His daughter went riding on
SO bicycle made in Maosachu-
sets, His wife swept the floor
with a broom from Cincinnati,
took up the dustin pan made in
Vermont with brush made in
Rhode Island, The farmer bought
plOw made in Illinois, a cultiya-
tor made in Michigan, hoes and
rales made in Indiana, anda a reap
er made in Chicago. He took
these home and set them out on
vacant lot, exposed to the rain
and sunshine, where they were
ruined in one year, That farmer
is always complaining of hard
times-GreenviIle (Texas) Banner.
True as gospel, and applicable
in Washington county as well as

added; Bacon from St. Louis,
butter from Chicago, condensed
milk from Boston, fried chickens
from Tennessee, corn meal cakes
from Kansas City, ham from Cin3

Things are improving slowly,
and the farmers are learning by
degrees; but the above far-fetched
bill of fare IS still common enough

GOOD, BUT NOT QUITE ENOUGH.

SIT is evident that the mass of
the people have not experienced
the panic that usually follows an
announcement of yellow fever.
The extreme mildness of the dis
ease everywhere last year, and
where it has prevailed so far this
year, has done good deal to re-
assure. The general public is
learning that the malady has lost
its yirulence, and that as Il result
also of modern and non-meddle-
some medication it is not to be
dreaded more than other infectious
diseases which attract no attention.
In many places quarantine has
been established as a necessary OBJ
legation on the part of the health
authorities and against the wishes
OF a majority OF the people.
"We believe that intelligent and
efficient sanitation should replace
quarantine, which is irrational,
unciyilized and frequently inefi-
cient. To accomplish this it re-
qulres only campaign of educa-
tion on the part of health authori-
ties and the medical profession,
Show the people that yellow fever
is no worse than other fevers, that
it can be controlled in person and
in place better than many others;
especially, give 1t another name in
order that it may be rid Of the
terrors which now exist only in
tradition-do this, and unnecessa-
ry fear of it will disappear ply,
aicians will not be taking their
lives IN their hands when report
ing it; commerce will not be par
alyzed at the mere suggestion of
it it will be possible to handle it
fearlesSly, successfully, and at
once wherever it appears. The
chief obstacle retarding the prog
ress and prosperity of the gulf and
South Atlantic states would be re-
moved. New Orleans Medical
and Surgical Journal.
So far so good. We agree with
the Journal that quarantine is
irrational, uncivilized, and often
inefficient" but we doubt if yellow
fever can be rid of its terrors by !
the means proposed. Whenever
its dread name is spoken the spec
tire of 1873 arises and nothing
short of absolute government con-
troll will ever reassure the people |
when once the scourge is known |
to exist ON our shores,
