About a year ago the Baroness de Hirsch

unable to secure employment at once. Shortly
after she intrusted Mr.. Straus with an endow-
ment fund of 5000. 900 to be used for this pur-
pose. Little time was lost in putting the plan
In execution. Estimates were submitted and

the Transvaal Government depends to a
great extent to weaken the resistance Of

To THE EDITOR or THE suS-Sir: In looking

dailies this morning I was somewhat surprised to

the Democrats. From the Republicans
something better is expected.
When, for instance, the Committee on
Resolutions OF the Ohio Republican con-
vention comes to draft the declaration as
to trusts, 1t might we'll avoid the blind,
sweeping dogmatism Of most OF the anti
trust orators and laws. To denounce and
prohibit all combinations for the purpose
OF affecting prices Is not reasonable or
honest. II by a combination such economy
In the production and distribution OF any
article Is attained that It's price is lowered
and millions Of consumers are benefited
thereby, 1t is not common sense to howl
against that combination and that sort Of
combination and to propose pains n
penalties against It simply because 1t has
displaced a handful Of middlemen. On the
other hand, the combinations for putting
up prices need M kick from the laws. The
moment those prices become really excess
slve and the profit secured by the combina-
tion is great. competition reasserts itself,

While everybody is buying, and is glad
to buy on account Of their c%heapness. things
made by the trusts, 1t Is essentially comic
for politicians and newspapers to pretend
to be In a fever against these combinations.
Somebody is squeezed in all business. In
the case OF the trusts that somebody is not
the consumer. Consequently his interest
in the throwing Of paper wads at them by
the speechmakers and the platform makers
is next to nothing. Still, he doesn't grudge
them their cheap talk so long as he has his

The Japanese Hot Bath.

Here is a point that English folks
might learn from the Japanese. The rea-
son we are inclined in this country to
catch cold after taking hot bath in the
daytime is that we do not take it hot
enough. If only you have the water as
near boiling point as possible, there is no
fear of your getting cold afterward. The
Japanese revel in these hot tubs. They
take them three or four times day. In
some districts of Japan, l believe, the
people are amphibious. For months at a
time they live practically in the water.
A Japanese once called upon me, and he
apologized at the outset of our converse
ton for being so unmannerly and dirty,
for he had only had time to take two hot
baths that day.-Chambers' Journal.
