A MONUMENTAL SYSTEM"
The End of the Century Bids Fair to See
n Hostile Combination Led by France.


France, thoroughly awakened at last to
the value of the colonial empire she once
threw away has devoted no small part OF
her energies throughout this century, and
especially during its last decades, to re-
pairing her plumbers OF the last century.
Germany, whose rapid transformation
from an agricultural into an Industrial
state of the first rank has been far more
momentous event than her political recon-
struction, is pressing on in the same
course with the feverish haste OF u belated
traveller. Slowly but steadily, with the
resistless momentum of its massive power,
the mysterious empire of the car molds
its policy of territorial expansion to new
shapes under the influence of its silent de-
velopment. And moving thus on parallel
lines they combine to curse the ''selflsh-
ness" of the Anglo-Saxon race, which bars
their progress by the indefeasible right of
prior occupancy.
They accept, of course, the benefit of
the complete equality which Britain grants
ON the same terms as she herself enjoys to
the trade and enterprise of the whole
world wherever her influence Is para
mount, but their only acknowledgment
! Is a vindictive "Sic vos non vobis." They
themselves not only erect barrier upon

A June Song.

The world runs on with its mellow song
And its subtly woven rhymes.
Bright April breaks, and the violet Wakes
And May comes many times
The young lark sings for his mate TO De-
And his wooing Is ever new,
But there's no love, dear, like the nrst GEAR
love-
The love bore for you.
The world runs on with a laugh and song
And with merrily moving rhymes.
The wild flowers blow and the blue waves
flow,
And each loves many times.
with every blooming Tho wild bird wins
A mate for himself anew,
But there's no love. dear. like the first dear
love-
The love bore for you.

WORSE THAN DYNAMITE.
Admiral Simpsons Fleet Supplied with
Melinite to Mine Works.

Commodore O'Neil, chief OF ordnance,
United States navy, has sent enough
high explosive material to Admiral
Sampson S fleet to mine every work on
the north side of the island. Among the
explosives sent is case of the newest
and most powerful of them all, melinite.
BY leaving out an ingredient melinite
can be transported as safely as II IL
were flour.
The omitted part of its make up can
be added just before the stun Is 10 90
used. 1t has IL times the power OF gun
powder and four times that OF dyna-
mite. 1t is the most powerful explosive
in practical use in the world. AS over
500 pounds of this compound have gone
TO the front, there is some surprise
among those who knew of it as to how
and where it is to be employed.

Maria MitcheIIs Famous "Dome PARTIES

Students of earlier days recall with
Measure Professor Mitchell at her famous
''dome parties" Only the privileged stu
dents of astronomy were permitted to be
present. The great lady sat In state
among her instruments, her cats helping
her receive, for the observatory cat and her
kittens were honored members OF the
household. Rhymes for the dinner cards
were always written by Professor Mitchell
herself and great was her delight when
she found it possible to make rhyming
pun upon the name of guest. Dome
parties have been revived in recent years.

Burdette Pictures the Schoolboy Bully

And the bullies in the school. l guess
there will always be bullies in all schools
There were some mean ones In the kinder
garten. The boy bully was always COW"
ard of course-a bit of a sneak as well,
cringing to the big boys and brutal to the
little ones. In the presence of the teacher
he was half crazed with terror, crying out,
"What have to do with thoeS" But the
weak pupil, whom he could handle he
mauled without mercy. 1t was his nature
to be brutal Rather than not have any
thing to worry he would torture hog
even though he had to live with the ami
NAL to get at him.-Robert J. Burdette III

IMPERIALIsT HANNA.
The Republican Boss Is Afraid of
Overconhdence I'm His
Party.

Hon. Mark Hanna opposed the war
policy to the last day, in the after
noon, but seems now to be more i'm
perialistic than the czar of Russia.
Yet we discern in his outgivings the
note of alarm lest the country should
not come up to the scratch. In an in
terview at Cleveland he says that the
republicans are indulging in over
confidence respecting the fall cleo
tons He (Hanna) is not an optimist.
He does not put any credence in the
figures given out by the congressional
committee at Washington that the re-
publicans are sure of 16 majority in
the next house. 1--WE are not sure of
anything" he declares. 1.-THE thing to
do is not to predict, but go to work"
All very good advice and all very true,
except the statement that the repub-
lican party is suffering from over
confidence. The party has no such
ailment. The trouble is not overcon-
fdence, but lethargy. The party sees
the danger ahead as plainly as Mr..
Hanna does, but it is incapable of
rousirg itself, and the reason is that
it is divided in its own mind respect
y
expansion and foreign possessions
that Mr.. Hanna has helped to push
upoa it. 1t is troubled by the pledge
soleninly given that the war was not
war of conquest and of gain. and
that after delivering Cuba from OPP
preston we would come home and
leave her free and independent. Here
is Senator Foraker's chance to put
his knife under the fifth ribs of Nc
Kinley and Hanna. He. too, has had
himself interviewed. He says that we
have no more right to keep a military
force in Cuba after the Spaniards
evacuate than to put such a force in
any other foreign country with which
we are at peace. All this talk about
throwing so 900 soldiers into Cuba aft
er the Spaniards withdraw is without
authority SO far as congress is con-
cerned, and will not be sanctioned by
the senate, in Foraker's opinion. He
would withdraw all our troops as
soon as the Spaniards are cleared out
and then await events. At the same
time he is just as fierce for grabbing
tho Philippines as Hanna himself He
thinks that the peace commission at
Paris ought never to have been ap-
pointed. We ought to have made
treaty instead of protocol at the end
of the war. All of this talk tends to
disorganize the party and to give Mr..
Hanna fresh cause for doubling the
predictions of the congressional COM
mittCe at Washington.-N.Y Y. Post.

PROPHETIC VIEWS.
Mischief of the Gold Standard Fore
told by an Old-Time Mem
her of the Senate.

The mischief would be great indeed
II all the world were to adopt but one
of the precious metals as the stand
ard of value. To adopt gold alone
would diminish the specie currency
more than one-half. and the reduction
the other way, should silver be taken
as the only standard. would be large
enough to prove highly disastrous to
the human race. Indeed. reference
to the history of the precious metals
and the general course of human pro-
duct:on can scarcely fail to convince
us that there has been a constant
tendency to appreciate their value, as
compared with the residue of the
property of the world, and that every
extraordinary increase of the supply
of the precious metals of which we
have any account has exercised a
highly beneficial effect upon human
affairs. When contracts are made by
a standard which is constantly con-
tracing the advantages are on the
side of capital as against labor, and
productive energy is cramped by re-
ceiving less than a fair share of the
profits of the enterprise. Before the
invention of substitutes for payment
in coin and before the increased sup
ply of specie from the discovery of
America human history is full of the
strifcs between debtor and creditor;
and human legislation is rife with ex-
periments to limit the encroaching
and engross;ng power of capital. The
most ancient legislation of which we
have authentic account extinguished
all debts every seventh year. Interest
was rot often received. yet the fact
was felt that capital received profit
enough for its use in the appreciation
of the value of the standard.-R. NJ. T.
Hunter, in the United States Senate.

ROADS OVER HILLS.
They Are Great Tax ON Time,
Strength and Wear and Tear
of Horse and Driver.

The lax we have. to pay because the
original cattle tracks and paths led
abruptly up and down over hills seems
to be as ;mmovable as the hills them
sedves which cause it. Immense sums
would be eventually saved if many
hill roads were relocated. In learning
how to improve our highways and TO
construct new ores, it is well to learn
where lines should run, in order to in
sure economy in grades and reduce the
tax on time, strength. wear and tear
and maintenance caused by hills.
Writing on this subject in the Port
land Industrial Journal, Mr.. S. d. Gray
tells of roads over hills which must
not be gone around because our faith
ers travelled them and we may as well
be footsore as they" He cites case
-'in which both town and county COM
missioners refused to act. This road
was two miles in length with eight
rugged hills, four of them unsafe TO
ride up or down. All these hills could
have been avoided and a level road
made for less than 81, 600 that would
pay for itself in ten years. The old
hills still remain. What we need is an
understanding not how to build our
roads but to say where our roads can
and should be built"

THE cow AT EIGHT.
III She Has Been Well cared For She
Should Then BE at Her
Very Best.

Many dairy1nen and others who milk
cows for profit believe that when a
COW reaches the age of seven or eight
her useful years are over, and that she
should be replaced by one younger,
says a writer IN the New York Trib-
une- But, other things being equal,
this is a mistake. A COW that has
been well cared for, with generous ra-
lions and proper attention given to
her comfort, through all seasons of
the year is better and will make a
more profitable return az eight years
old than at an earlier age; in other
words, she is in her prime, and she
will continue in this condition several
years, and will not be considered an
old cow until IA or IS years have
passed. Cows with first calves-at two
or three years-are generally I'M
profitable in their milk yield, and
a really good cow between seven and
eight years old will pay better reve-
me than two that are performing
their first years duties in the dairy
herd, and she will probably consume
bat a little more food than one of the
younger ones. This fact is worthy
of the consideration OF those who are
Ilairying for profit.

THE AESTHETIC SIDE.
To Beautify Our Highways Is Not
Fad, as Trees Are Great Pro-
tectors OF Roads.

While considering the purely utili-
tanian aspect of good highways it is
well not to forget that there are other
considerations worthy of attention,
and that hard roads when unshaded
and barren, and city streets when un-
adorned. are lacking in those simple
yet beautiful features which make
travel over them more agreeable and
add an unmistakable charm to move
ment in the open air.
For the most part, all thought re-
garding roadmaking in the recent re-
vival il this country, has thus far
turned to grades, drainage and road
beds. and almost no attention has been
paid to roadside adornment. This fea-
ture, however, is not without its utility
as we'll as aesthetic value, for country
roads lined by shade trees and hedges.

The money question remains the real

is impracticable or impossible the ben
efits are particularly marked.
But the beauty that may be added to
any road or street at the cost Of little
trouble and expense is a direct source
of refining influences to all that por-
ton of the public which uses them.
The grea: variety of trees, shrubs,
bushes, hedges and flowers that are
possible along the roadside are a COM
fort to the traveller and a delight to his
eye.
In towns, and in the residence por-
tions of cities, even better results can
be obtained, as in one case in west
ern city where gentleman who owned
land on both sides of the street ''re-
moved the fences" says Park and Gene
terry, land planted in their places guam
titles OF barberry bushes, Japan
ounce, buckthorns, prickly ash and
sweet briars. The parkways retain
some of the native trees, and there has
been additional planting. Films. lin
dens, naples, oaks and other trees
have been used. and also red-branched
dogwoods, syringas and viburnums.
The groups planted are as irregular as
the native growth. Recently a man
from another city, after having rid
den through this street, was surprised
to find it was public thoroughfare,
his impression having been that it was
a geEtleman's private drive"
In some sections of the country this
sort of thing is being undertaken to
the great advantage of the towns. An
tiguated and useless fences, which
only disfgure the landscape, are being
removed, and residences dot here and
there among the shrubbery and flow
ers and lawns what appear to be great
and beautiful parks.
With the adoption of this plan would
naturally come the removal of the
great and hideous advertising signs
which disfgure SO many streets, boul-
evards and public places and are a
monstrous eye sore on any landscape.
The result of such a change from the
purely commonplace and prosaic to
the beautiful and ornamental would
be far reaching, and highly beneficial
to the tastes and thoughts of all
classes, and particularly to the young.
