FRANCES TARDY PREPARATION


Countries Like People Cannot Do
Wrong with Impunity.
France has tried to comfort herself
with the reflection that the life of one
Jew No unimportant, and that her inter-
ests may best be served by an act of
possible lawlessness, says the Specta-
tor. But her hopes are doomed to dis
appointment and all her casuistry is
of no avail. Piece by piece the truth
has been uncovered, and though
France has opposed discovery with
added deceit she has today no chance
of going backward. She will be forced
to perform with an i'll grace common
act of reparation, which some years
ago might most gracefully have been
performed. But she cannot for half a
century undo the evil which her un-
righteousness has caused. Discredited
throughout Europe, she stands sullied
among the nations, finding no conf
dence in her institutions, and inspiring
nothing else than distrust. And the
moral of it all is that nations, no more
than individuals, may stamp upon the
elementary rules of right and wrong.
The morality which governs peoples is
not precisely the same as governs men
in the conduct of their lives; a coun-
try has not the same high obligation OF
truth and outspokenness as is laid
upon separate citizens. But countries,
too, have their truth, and while they
may simulate before rivals, they must
exact within their borders a love Of
1mpunity; when once the sense OF duty
is obscured disaster Is certain; for
there always remains one taper of
light to illumine the dim places. Had
NJ Zola never pierced the darkness
then France might have had the salts
and key a man who she knew had been
illegally condemned; she might still
have declared with infinite scorn that
her action was an affaire de cuisine
and that a Jew had no right to a gen.
erous' protection. And though she
would have suffered in herself, when
the moment of battle came she might
for while have escaped the notice Of
Europe. But M. Zola was not to be
extinguished; he revealed to the whole
world his country's injustice and made
an ultimate reparation necessary. The
national confidence in the army will
for awhile be shaken, but justice will
presently be re-established, and with it
a proper sense of patriotism.

PRIMITIVE CHRONOLOGY.
In Mexico Months Are Named After tho
Arrival of Birds.


The most primitive method in chro-
nology is that which enables man to
orient himself in the world of time by
associating particular lurations with
vicissitudes of weather, with seasonal
aspects of vegetation, and with the
constantly changing sights and sounds
Of the animal world, says Popular Sci
ence Monthly. In the calendar of the
Crees, for example, we find such desig-
nations as "duck-month," frog
moon," "leaf-moon," "berries-ripe
MONTH" "buffalo-rutting moon,"
leaves entirely changed" "leaves in
the trees fish catching moon,'
moon that strikes the earth cold"
Coolest moon." "ice-thawing moon"
"eagles-seen moon" So in the calen-
the months are named variously after
the arrival of birds, the blossoming Of
flowers, the blowing of winds, the re-
turn of mosquitoes and the appearance
of fishes The Greeks constantly used
the movements of birds to mark the
seasons, tne ARRIVAL Oh IHe swallow and
kite were thus noted. Hesiod tells us
how the cry of the crane signaled the
departure of winter, while the sitting
of the pleiades gave notice to the plow-
man when to begin his work. The In
cas- called Venus "the hairy" on ac-
count Of the brightness of her rays
Just as the Peruvians named her the
"eight-hour torch" or the twilight
lamp" from the time Of her shining.

Red-headed people, as is we'll known,
are less subject TO badness than 9TH
ers. A London doctor explains the
matter thus; The hair of the red
headed is relatively thick, one red hair
being almost as thick as five fair or
three brown hairs. With 10000 red
hairs the scalp is we'll thatched. whers-
as with the same number of fair hans
one is comparatively bald 1t takes
100000 fair and 100000 brown hairs to
cover adequately an ordinary head.

Filtertng Drinking Water.

Unless one is careful to clean the
filter every few days it is much better
to dispense with it and make use of a
flannel bag, which may be fastened on
the faucet. This will merely act as a
strainer, but it has this advantage:
BY changing it for fresh one each
day one is assured that the water does
not pass through decaying matter, as
is the case when the filter is not sys.
tematically cleaned. 1t must be re.
membered that neither straining nor FL.
tering will remove any substance that
is dissolved in the water; therefore
when water is contaminated by drain
age, or from other causes, it should
be boiled before being used either for
drinking purposes or in the prepara-
ton OF food. Home Journal.

Oil paintings exposed directly to
the air accumulate dust, dirt, SCOT and
sulphuric acid on them, and in time
they lose much of their beauty. The
question of cleaning them without in
iuring the paint has been puzzling
one to artists and owners Of valuable
paintings. If brushing them with q
dry silk handkerchief will not clean
them, washing the surface gently
with pure distilled water is recon-
mended by professional picture
cleaners. Then they should be
clicked OFF, softly with silk hand
kerchief. In obstinate cases it is
necessary to restore parts Of the pic
lures with size colors CT parchment
size. But this work should not be
undertaken by one unfamiliar with
painting. The frames should be
cleaned with distilled water, and then
rubbed dry with silk cloth. 1t is
well in the summer months to keep
oil paintings and all pictures not pro-
tected by glass covered from the dust
and flies. The New Voice.

From the New York World: The
executive department at Washington
seriously proposes to fine the American
people SIS 1000 900 year for an offense
committed by the Brazilian govern
ment This is the way of it, We con-
sumo 600,000,O00 pounds of coffee a
year. More than ten-c,1venths of it
or practically all-comes from Brazil.
But Brazil imposes import duties-not
nearly so heavy, it is true, as our own
average-upon many articles which we
sell to that country. Our government
complains of this and Nas asked Bra
zil to quit it, in order tGat our people
may sell more of their products to
Brazilians. Brazil needs revenue and
hesitates to yield to this demand. Our
government therefore threatens-under
a provision of law which permits the
president to legislate in such cases =
to levy a retaliatory duty of three cents
a pound on all the Brazilian coffee we
use. That is to say, it proposes to
make everybody in the United States
pay cents pound more than now for
enormous Dingley tariff duties in force,
why should we complain that Brazil
imposes much lower import dues for
the sake of revenue? And why she II
the American people be required to suf-
fer for Brazils offense?

CLOSED Down."

In the town of Fairmount, near Gin

the great system of trusts has in store

Trusts in England and Germany.

From the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal: In reply to a declaration of Mr..
Havemeyer that the protective tariff
is the mother of all trusts, it is alleged
that trusts are equally bad in other
countries. Even in free-trade England
it is avowed trusts are very numerous.
There are combinations in England. to
be sure, but there are no tariff laws to
protect them. Wherever foreign COM
petition can destroy them they do not
exist. Even where they exist the ex-
tent of their power is limited by COM
petition from other countries, so far
as that is practicable, and the statis-
tics of English trade show that 1t is so
in large degree. When we come to
Germany, however, we find country
like our own, with high protective
tariff. 1t is here that the trusts -four
ish. OF all European countries, says
an authority upon the subject, it is in
Germany that the trusts have spread
most extensively and been most sue
cessful. There is no reason why they
should not be, for there the legislation
is calculated to protect them from as
sault and to cause them to multiply.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.


Careful housekeepers cut all pairs
of blankets apart after they are washed
the first time, and turn the top to the
bottom. Finish the blanket after the
first washing at the top and bottom in
worsted with blanket stitch, which is
a species of the familiar buttcnhole
stitch. If this is not done the blan-
kets become worn and thin at the top
and thickened at the bottom where
they are folded over.

Omaha, May 1s,-Colonel Bryan has re-

that the leading Nebraska democrats could
get his opinion on the situation He said
he was the bearer OF good news from the
Eastern country, where nothing stirred up
so much enthusiasm as reference to the
Chicago platform. He said that New York
had nearly four times as many Chicago
platform democrats as has Nebraska. and
so has Pennsylvania. There are many men
of great wealth there, but their influence
is manifested through tho papers rather
than with the voters. There are demo-
Gratis there quits as enthusiastic as those
here, and they are entitled to more credit,
becaus they are fighting against greater
odds He said the democratic party ia In

the party, but we can have our ideas Of
what will be done" said Colonel Bryan.

to see plank taken out of that platform.

form will be added to, but nothing will be
taken away.
