CURRENT MAGAZINES.

A paper by Mabel Loomis Todd. 'Tn Aino-
Land in the Century, formed part of a
lecture on Japan recently delivered by her
before an Indianapolis club.
War articles in Mcclure are a paper on
President Mckinley, a story OF the first
fight on Cuban soil and an estimate of the
fighting strength of the United States.
Winston Churchill, who won a sudden
reputation as the author OF 1.-THE Celebrity"
does not especially distinguish himself in the
short story. by Order of the Admiral in
the Century. 1t is highly improbable tale.
Octave Thanet is making quite a char
acter in literature out of her Alderman
McGinnis, who is by no means a literary
character. but type of citizen well known
in every city. A story in Mcclure this
month shows him to be far less black than
his type is commonly painted by municipal
reformers.
A writer in the New England Magazine
tells the story Of an. interesting industrial
experiment made some forty years ago
near Springfield. Mass. for the benefit of
factory girls. An illustrated account of Hull

WASHINGTON. July 6-The Senate came
to sudden and unexpected conclusion late
this afternoon and disposed of the resolL-
tions to annex Hawaii by voting on them
and passing them by vote of AZ to Fl, ex-
actly two-thirds voting in the affirmative
OF course, a two-thirds vote in favor of the
proposition was not needed, but that it re-
ceived that precise vote is interesting in the
view of the generally accepted suppcsition
that the treaty of annexation was with
drawn from consideration last winter be-
cause 1t lacked two or three of having that
number Events have moved since then,
however, and apparently two or three Sena-
tors have moved with them. The President
will be prompt to sign the resolutions and
so these famous islands, the dominating
group of the north Pacific. will be ours.
The bottom dropped out of the filiibuster
this afternoon in a minute. The ants made
up their minds with startling suddenness
to quit. They just shut off the talk and let
the aiority have its way 1t took less than
an hour to vote down the several amend
ments and adopt the resolutions as they
came from the House.
Congress will not remain in session more
than four or five days longer and it may
get away Saturday. The passage of the
Hawaiian resolutions and the genera! defl-
cheney BILL both of which will go to the
President tomorrow, leaves no legislation
of general importance to be considered of
which there is hope of passage at this ses-
sion. In the House the international bank
bill and in the Senate the bill allowing vol
unteers to vote may he pressed but it is
not believed that quorum can be obtained
for any business that would lead to pro-
longed debate. Unobjected business will no
doubt be considered and some military bills
may be brought forward. There are quite
a number of nominations pending in the
Senate but those to which there are any
objection are not likely to be acted on Sen
ators and Representatives are anxious to
get away and the belief among the leaders
is that the final adjournment will be on
Friday or Saturday.

Recently Democratic member of the po-
lice commission of one of the cities sent. the
Governor his resignation. The reason was
not explained in the letter. but it was that
he is no longer a Democrat and could not
serve as such on a board which by law is
made up of both parties. He waited until
after the Democratic state convention be-
fore rendering his resignation. in the hope
that in its platform that body would swing
back to Democratic principles on the money
question. AS it did not, the commissioner
felt that he could no longer belong to a
Populist-Democratic party as an office-hold-
err when he did not propose to vote for the
16-to-1 heresy.

There can be no doubt that Chaplain
Weaver tells the truth about the stories of
the alleged cruelty of Colonel Barnett. He
should have told it earlier, since quite a
Juror has been started in different parts of
the State about the matter. Quite a num-
Der Of letters have been published convey
ing the charges, but none of them has been
accompanied with the name of q RESPONSE
BILE person. In the process of being made
into a soldier quite a number of men who
have always had their freedom are made to
feel that they have been deprived thereof.
They do not at first see that it is neces-
sary, and they naturally regard the COM
manding officer tyrant In their wrath
they say things to which they would not
affix their names. The Journal has inter-
est in Colonel Barnett other than for the
good name of Indiana, and it hopes to see
him proved a competent commander, since
more regiments are injured by weak and ig-
norant men as commanders than by any 9TH
er means.

A Cincinnati paper gives the defense of
an express agent which places the express
companies in the attitude of a public bene-
factor. IF customers do not pay the one
cent stamp" says the agent, "the COM
panies would be forced to increase their
charges; if they should do that they would
make the increase as much as 2 cents on
each package shipped, thus costing the
customer twice as much as it will to pay
for the stamp" In other words, this ex
pressman says: IF our patrons make a
row about paying the tax imposed upon us
by law we will raise the rates double the
tax" This sort of reasoning will not cause
the people to love such corporations. In
deed, it may lead to an overhauling of the
present charges of express companies by
Congress and to the establishing of a max
imum charge which will be much less than
existing rates. The Supreme Court holds
that legislatures have the right to estab
lish maximum rates of transportation pro-
vided they are sufficient to meet the current
expenses and obligations of the corpora
ton. If legislation, national or state,
should touch express companies along that
line there might be a greater scaling down
of prices than the one-cent tax imposed
upon them for war purposes.

and our last war with England was ancient
history. We made no pretensions to be-
ing military people. Our small standing
army was rather standing joke among
foreigners, and our navy had no recognized
standing beyond its rating on paper We
had not great navy, and it remained to be
seen whether our ships could go to sea
successfully and whether our officers and
men could fight. We were known as COM
mercial people, devoted to material prog
ress, to the prosecution of great enterprises.
to the building and running of railroads, to
the accumulation of wealth. to the infinitely
diversified arts of peace. 1t is not surpris-
ing that foreign critics who are born and
who live, move and breathe in an air of
mlitarism should have regarded US as a
nation of shopkeepers.
The war has worked great change. 1t
has not changed us as a people. but. by
a change of conditions and requirements,
it has put us before the world in an entire
ly new light. While the energies of the
people were devoted to railroad building,
manufacturing, mining, commerce and
trade we were so rnarvelously successful
that superficial foreign observers thought
we were not fit for anything else. The war
has shown that we possess equal adaptable
ity and resources in that direction. 1t has
shown that a nation of shopkeepers in
peace may be nation of fighters in war.
Our navy and our army have already chal-
lenged the admiration of the world by their
achievements, and our Deweys, our Samp-
sons, our Schleys, our Hobsons. our Shat
tiers and scores of others, leading equally
brave followers on sea and land have
shown that the spirit which made us a ma
ton is as active and heroic to-day as it
ever was Hereafter let it be understood
that in peace we are a nation of shopkeep-
ers and in war nation of fighters

MENTAL, PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE

Woman's strength Is about two thirds that of man, while her height is as t6 to r and her weight as nine to tel,
 Woman's lung capacity is in propor- ton to her size much less than mans The pulse beat is from eight to ten faster than in man.
 Woman are more alike than men and more normal. Most geniuses are of the male sex. Woman is naturally con servative. while man explores new fields.
 In perception woman is decidedly quicker than man. She grasps a writ ten paragraph in much less time than does he. Her perception of details however, is less accurate than is mans.
 Among all civilized races woman Is both shorter and lighter than man. Her form is more rounded and graceful. less bony and angular, having relative ly less fat and more muscle.
 woman's head is carried less upright than mans. The greater length of the first finger as compared to the third is Q feminine peculiarity. The vocal cords in woman are shorter and the voiec higher and shriller.
 In respect to memory woman arc superior. In slow, logical reasoning they are deficient. The arts, science and philosophy owe their advancement more to men than to women. What woman loses In profundity she gains in quickness, In languages she is more apt than man.
 Differences in habits of thought be- tween the two sexes is shown by ths fact that if 50 men and 50 women were required to write 100 words as rapidly as possible without time for thought, in the woman's list will be found more words relating to the concrete than the abstract, the whole rather than the part, the particular rather than the general.

The Yankee is a much bigger man than the Spanisrd, and that ia sn im- portsnt advantage for the American in this war. With all his pride of race, the naughty Don is little fellow; in stature he is least among the Euro pesus, averaging only 5, inches over 5 feet. The soldier who fights under the stars and stripes averages 5 feet II inches in his stocking feet; he weighs 10 pounds more than the Spaniard, and bis chest girth is nearly inches great CT. These are points that count on the field of battle. Of course, size is not everything in a soldier. Never iu his- tory has it counted for so little as i. does today, inasmuch as modern war fare is conducted chiefly by machinery, battles are fought at long ranges, and hand to-hand encounters are rare. The Japanese are smaller than the Span. iards, yet there are no 6ercer fighters; ths American Indians, on the other hand, are superior in stature to the Yankees. But, other things being equal, the bigger man has an sdvan- tage. The Yankee is the tallest of civ. ilized men; in Europe, only the Nor. wegian approaches him nearly in this respect and the Englishmau is 6 full inch shorter.
