.ANOTHLR FAILURE.

One by one the Socialistic and CO., operative experiments peter out. The latest is the collapse of the Socialstic Cooperative association of France. The story of the affair is interesting and instructive. Two employees of a glass works near Carmaux, France, were dis charged for attending a convention of socialists at Marseilles. This precipi- tated a general strike in which 320 men
 joined. Public sentiment was so strong ly on the side of the men that the sum
 of 900 francs was quickly subscribed
 for a cooperative glass works, which should be owned and operated by the men exclusively. Henri Rochefort was the moving spirit of the project and so

| Addressing the Associated Charities at Taunton, Massachusetts, the other | day. Dean Hodges cheerfully remarked
 that "the honest beggar does not exist"
 Mendicants, he said, are all dishonest, | and their stories are all stock lies. T
 have never yet investigated a case of this kind" the reverend speaker con- tinued, without finding lie at the bot
 tom of it, and have never yet found a satisfactory theory for the man who
 begs." Then he used this illustration:
 There are many diseases in which a patient growsvery hungry, and it seems as if you cannot refuse him food, but should you give him anything to eat it
 would hasten his end. The beggar is in
 the stage of moral disease correspond
 ing to this, and if you want to kill him
 feed him. You remember in the para ble of the Prodigal Son that he went back to his father when no man gave unto him." If any one had fed him he would not have gone back.
 There is much truth In this, and it is a very convenient theory to act on If one isn't generous and yet has an un- easy feeling about withholding help. It is strong support to weakly selfish mind to be able to piously and humane ly feel that giving will hurt more than it will help. It will in many cases, but there are cases where it may not. For instance, we read in the New York Commercial Advertiser that the Red Cross Society has about thousand men on hand who went to the war, came home sick and now have been hunting for work for weeks, finding nothing but little snow -shoveling. Among these men are many who gave up good posi- tions last summer, expecting to get them back again when peace came. There are ministers, lawyers, doctors, and all kinds of mechan- ics; their cases have been carefully in- vestigated and found to be worthy.

There was an awful bel lowing from the creature that made their blood jingle as they ran up to fas- ten the ropes on. The animal tried to gore them, but the dog held fast and she was soon tied so she could do no harm MT.

He says the cattle are regular game when wild and there is lots of sport in catching them.-The Springfield (Mass) Republican.

 Despite the discomforts attending on removing the hat in the playhouse, the tiny theater hat makes slow headway. They are seen, of course, but most of them in any given audience are hold overs, and those displayed by milliners go off slowly. Of them the intending purchaser asks: Are they quite cor. reot?' and the dealer replies: "They are permitted. That's it; you may wear them If you wish to do so, but the tiny affairs, though sensible and pretty, no longer lend the slightest distinction to the wearer. Apparently women are in- tent on showing men that they have becoming obliging, so wear big hats just for the sake of taking them off. Besides the bother, there's danger to the hat for woman now appreciates the lack of room between seats quite as clearly as does the long-legged escort.

At the time of the discovery of the Philippines in 1521 there were found in the islands the brown Malayans who are now in the great majority, and the small black Negritos, of which only about ten thousand survive. Dr. Erin ton of the University of Pennsylvania believes that these two races are eth geographically distinct, and that their ethnic and historic relations offer some Interesting problems in anthropology. For example, the Negritos believe that if one of their people dies it is due to the black art of the Maayan adversa- ries, and they endeavor to slay Ma layan in his place. The anthropologists and ethnologists of Europe are await ing with interest the results of investi- gations which they expect that Amer ican scientists will prosecute in the Philippines.

extended tour OF Porto Rico last week,
reports the island one OF the loveiiest and
most fertile spots on the globe. The
people are very loyal and contented. and
there will be no trouble about their Gov

office holders and politicians who have
lost power and very fat jobs. There are
from 10,O00 to 20, 900 of these, in a total
population of about 1 1,000, 900. About one
in 10 of the population belongs to the
property-owning class, and can read and
write. Last year was very profitable for
sugar planters, but the reverse for the
cofee-growers. The young mon are
rapidly enlisting in the Porto Rican regi-

Prince Cantacuzene, who has also the title
of Count Speransky, is related on the mater
nal side to the late Prince Gortschakoff, who
quarter of century ago was " the Grand
Old Man of Russia, being Grand Chancellor
of Russia and Minister of Foreign Relations
The fact that the Cantacuzenes own estates
near Moscow does not signify that they are
possessed Of great wealth, for there is one
family in this country of vast domain which
owns Z, 500, coo acres, and is not regarded as
rich. The youthful Prince is said to be un-
usually talented. and the distinguished
Russians in Washington are particularly
pleased over the alliance, as they regard Miss
Grant as not only an exceptionally beautiful
young woman, but one whose character and
lOveliness of disposition make her an ideal
type Of AWsyiean wowauhood.
