Emperor of Germany, and lis enemies

toonists will be too small for him when
he gets back to the U. S.
The Beers may gain few advan-
tages, while John Bull is getting good
and ready, but the war can only have
one result-the wiping of the Trans
vaal Republic off the map.
If half the money is being spent in
the Ohio campaign that the politicians
says there is, the circulation per capita
in that State must be several times
larger than in any other, and the price
of votes higher.
We suspected as much. The move
ment to perpetuate the Dewey arch, in
New York, is to be "nationalized. If
the arch is to be erected by general
subscription, Washington, not New
York, is the proper place for it.
The big guns for the defense of our
coast come high, the 12 inch guns, in
cluding disappearing carriage, cost
$141, 900 each, the ten-inch $99, $50
each, and the eight-inch $72, ,OOO
When shotted for business each charge
fred costs, from the first, $561 20, from
the second, 1922. 40, and from the last,
S164.65. In view of these figures, it is
a good thing that Uncle Sans gun
ming expeditions are not frequent.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is doubtless
fully convinced by this time that the
failure of Canada to get port in the
temporary adjustment of the Alaskan
boundary line will not result in a war
with the U. S., as Canada has agreed
to a temporary boundary line which
does not give ner even canoe naVlga-
tiOn in the disputed territory.
J. R. Wasson, a graduate of West
Point who was dismissed from the
army because he lost $25, 900 while he
was a paymaster with the rank OF
major, has, by special permission OF
Secretary Root, enlisted in the army
as private, although he is SO yeare
old.
Uncle Sam has nothing whatever tC
do with the War in South Africa, but
he has lots of things to sell for cash
that will be needed both by the En-.
glish and the Beers.
Ex-Gov., Hogg of Texas, talks as
though he thought some of his party
associates were going too far in theil
opposition to expansion. He says that
it is our present duty to conquer the
Filipinos, and the future of the Philip
pines to be determined by Congress.

The Maine Mushroom.

Miss Kate Furbush, who is now at
home at Brunswick. after a winter
spent in study in Maiden.
Mass. is at present at work
on the toadstools OF Maine.
Miss Furbush has already spent TWO
years in the study of these fungi, one
season exploring the country around
Gilead, and spending last year at
Wells. The winters have been spent in
studying the mushrooms at Harvard
College. Miss Furbush has found three
hundred and fifty forms of the genus
and believes that there are a thousand
in the State. which she will find if the
time and health be given her. OF each
of the toadstOols which she has found.
Miss Furbush has made a water color
study. as is her method in studying
the flora Of the State. and these studies
form a folio Of the most beautiful ana
interesting nature imaginable. Miss
Furbush is particularly fond Of color.
and she has reproduced the delicate
tints Of the fungi. as well as the
brighter and more gaudy colorings with
absolute accuracy. IN her study of the
genus Miss Furbush is obliged to taste
'SiA "a Si''iFS " M NtlN NtTtl tb' H.
and while she has not yet nibbled at
the deadly amanita, not approving of
foolhardiness, yet the hint she gives in
regard to poisonous mushrooms is
worth ACKNOWLEDGEMENT a vial of
sweet oil at hand. the mushroom may
be tasted with impunity.
Miss Furbush is of the opinion that
more species Of tOadstOOls are to be
found in one locality in the season than
are floral specimens in the same area.
1t is fascinating to hear Miss Furbush
talk Of her work, and she expresses a
determination to continue ii with en-
ergy 50 long as strength is given her.
Two plants have been named for her,
one of them having been discovered by
her, and being new to botanists Aside
from her Water-colOr studies of the
specimens she has collected, she has
ten thousand dried plants. and the as
tonishing statement is made by her
that if she should work eight hours
each day for the next five years. she
could not finish the work awaiting her
and already in the house and at hand.
AS for her gaining interest in her work
she says it is impossible for her to feel
more interest in her work than she
already does.

Captain Coughlin, formerly of the
Raleigh, whose free expression of his
vigorous Americanism got him into a
little trouble on his return from Ma
thing he said is worthy of repeating
often. In discussing the blessings and
privileges of American citizenship he
said with all the forcefulness and
direGtness of an old tar: IF a man is
an American citizen he is an American
citizen, pure and simple. l have no
patience with this hyphenated citizen
ship. There is nothing that Europe
would rather see today than the exist
ence of these fractional lines in our
citizenship" The sentiment of these
utterances has the true American ring.
They will have the hearty approval Of
all true Americans. 1t must be con-
ceded, however, that the hyphenated
terms used to designate the various
natlonalities in this country are adopt
ed for purposes of convenience and
differentiation rather than as evidences
Of loyalty to the fatherland. AS a
matter Of fact there is very little
hyphenated patriotism in this country.
The names used for purposes of fra
ternity and for keeping alive the
memories of the native land do not
stand for a hyphenated allegiance. No
hyphen was long enough to stretch
across the seas and blind foreign-born
American citizens when our own Union
was imperiled. Notwithstanding this,
however, there is little doubt that the
dropping of the hyphen would tend to-
ward greater solidarity Of citizenship.
Every person who comes to this coun-
try. in fact, and swears allegiance to
the flag. should be content to be known
as a plain, simple, hyphenless "Ameri-
can"

ChiIdren's Courtesies.

1T IS significant to observe how some
men fail to know how to treat their
wives and sisters when they meet
them. t seems to them quite unneces-
Sary to lift their hats or to give their
nearest and dearest the courtesy they
would freely render to any woman out
side Of the domestic circle. This should
not be, and the sooner a revolution is
accomplished the better The ablest
and most persuasive treatise in the
etiquette of the home will not be able
by itself to work the change. although
it would be helpful toward that end.
What is needed is the right training of
boys and girls. Courteous behavior
should be enforced by parents in the
same way as other good qualities are
taught
One of the most successful instruc-
tors of the young in our day bears this
testimony: People complain of the
way children behave and lay the blame
Of their behavior on the day school.
but if they would only make the chill
dren do at home as they are REQUIRED
to do in school. matters would be diff
ferent. They laugh at the child when
he lifts his hat or says Please or
Thank YOU, forgetting that others
are trying to make up for their neglect
of duty This word in season should
stir up parents TO sense of the i'm
portance of cultivating by precept ana
example the requirements of domestic
etiquette.
