PRosPERITY's TIDE.

There is tide in the affairs o.
men, which, taken at its flood, leads
on to fortune. is true not only OF in.
dividuals. but also of communities
and nations.
This nation is now entering upon
an era of prosperity such as the world
has never known. The balance Of
trade in our favor is so immense that
within very few years we will prac-
tically own the world. London,
which for the past haltcentury, has
dictated the financial policies Of the
world, is now selling her best securi-
ties and they are being snapped up
on this side with an avidity that is
surprising the money-bags OF the Old
World.
This wealth Is finding other chan
nels than stocks and bonds. 1t Is
seeking investment at home. The
New York Times, ultra conservative,
says: Prosperity, like the ircom-
ing tide. finds all the creeks and in
lets, and visits every land.locked bay,
raising the waters everywhere to the
level of the trimming sea. From all
over the land come stories of its ris-
ing flood, topping all previous high.
water marks.
THE surest sign of all, not OF pros
perity's coming, but of her actual ar
rival, with the declared intention OF
remaining, is, of course, the invest
ment OF money in new enterprises.
There is evidence of such investment
on every hand. Many large compan.
les have formed for which capital has
been readily found. The release Of
an immense number of millions OF
dollars in January interest and divi-
bends will further stimulate invest
ment and continue in the new year
the expansion that has marked the
course OF the old with such wonder
full records.
THE best of it is that good times
have only just begun. In every great
upward movement of business aud
4 the MARKERS there comes time when
words of caution are needed. That
time must be long way off. The
present boom is not due to an in.
flation of the currency, to overtrad-
ing, to undue extension OF credits, or
to any of the causes that sometimes
produce fictitious prosperity. 1t is
based on the resources and tremen-
dous productive power of the country.
We are making money because we are
everywhere at work, and our labor is
turning out marketable merchandise,
because there is great demand for
our exportable products. and we can
supply it at good prices. and because
more capital is employed in the coun-
try today than at any previous period
of its history--to say nothing of the
very considerable sums of American
capital that are loaned out abroad.
1.-The record Of the year, 1893. Is
most gratifying, but it is evident that
the year 1899 will far surpass it,"
Would it not be we'll for the people
OF this community to look out for
number one' The industries we have
are all right but others are needed.
A slight effort Just now, when money
is seeking investment, may result in
ipcalculable benefits.

Workingmen in all parts of the
United States should unite in demand
ing the passage of the bill now in
Congress for the promotion of our
shipping in the foreign trade-the bill
introduced by Senator Hanna and
Representative Payne. That bill means
increased employment in American
iron and coal mines, in the forests.
upon the farms, in the factories. In
the shipyards, and on board the ships.
1t means the retention at home of
some two or three hundred million
dollars now annually paid foreign
steamships for doing our foreign car

DIFFERENCES IN WOMEN.
An Odd Illustration OF the Customs OF
Different Generations.

1t was very hot afternoon on the
Southeastern railway, says the Acad-
envy. In the carriage were two ladies
who were young and happy, lady
who was elderly and apparently single,
and a little girl. At Orpington there
entered a tall, fresh, lOose-limbed boz,
OF 10 or so, carrying surveying poles
opposite the two ladies, who were
young. AS the train painted along and
the carriage became more and more
sitting, the boy was noticed to be
growing restless and nervous. Twice
or thrice he made as If to speak and
then. suddenly reaching out the bas-
ket and displaying its contents to the
two friends, he gasped, indicating one
OF them with timid eye: Would
you mind taking some OF these?
They've just been given me, but l
couldn't eat them all, you know, and
SO very hot and,

80" The basket was loaded with
strawberries and he was quickly as
sured that his request was not an
impertinence. He then turned to the
little girl, who no sooner observed his
intention that she crossed over to the
! basket side, and. seating herself within
range of the fruit, saved him further
trouble. To the elderly lady how
ever, he had to repeat his invitation.
Frigidly accepting it, she took two
strawberries from the basket with
much ceremony. At New Cross the
boy gathered together his property
and jumped out What a dear boy!'
said one of the two friends The lit
tie girl looked wistfully after him.

tightening her lips and turning to the
other two, Il have never been so en-

the aperture is piece of perforated
rawhide, and when blown into il
emits a strange and blood-chilling
howl-something absolutely indescrib
able in words-a sort of cross be-
tween the shrek OF a buzz saw when
it strikes a nail and the lower register
of an adult steam calliope. 1t is the
sort Of noise l imagine a hippopot-
anus might make during an attack
of membranOus Group. But the
scheme Of the inventor was really not
so bad. He pointed out in his letter
that the yell played very prominent
part in all military operations. The
demoraliZing effect of the rebel yell
was freely admitted by all Northern
generals during the civil war and his
tory has repeated itself in the recent
campaigns. 1t was the yell of the
Rough Riders as they went up San
Juan hill that scared the SpaniardS out
of their trenches and the Kansas yell
has spread more terror among the Fill
ipinos than ali the Calling guns put
together. From these facts lie argued
very logically that mechanical boot
er, augmenting, magnifying and sup
plementing the natural voice would
greatly increase the efficiency of our
troops. A company Oh a charge, sud-
denly hOOting in chorus, would striks
dismay into the hearts of the bravest
foe. An American soldier humping
and hooting over a rice field would
cause any Filipino alive to immediate
ly lose interest in the sacred cause OF
freedom and scOOt for the far end OF
the archipelago. At least such was tie
claim of the inventor and after hearin :

agree with him. 4 clerk was in

that in the opinion of the department

weapon and violation of the rules

conference of The Hague. You may

patriotic. and makes no attempt to
conceal his hatred of all foreigners.
He hates Dreyfus, too, and on Sunday.
Sept. %, 1898, at a meeting to protest
against the revision of the Dreyfus
case, he presided and delivered a furi-
Gus TRADE against Prime Minister
Brisson and all who had shown a de-
sire for revision. He declared that if
a revolution occurred and the scaffold
was erected in Paris, the first head that
ought to fall was that of Clemenceau,
and that if Dreyfus ever returned to
France he and his partisans would be
lynched. This meeting was in further
ance of the reorganization of the
League of Patriots, which had been
suppressed some years ago by the gov
eminent OF this reorganiZed league
De Roulede became president. He
hates so much that he hates also the
constituted government of France, and
at the death of President Faure I'M
dertook to overthrow the republic and
establish government with the army
as basis. He led a procession Of
kindred spirits through the streets of
the barracks, and was summarily ar
rested, not on the charge of treason,
or attempted coup d'etat. of which he
would have been proud, but on the
more common accusation of trespass.
This almost disguised him with the
profession of patriot He is, however,
still intensely bitter in his ennity to
Dreyfus, and the formation Of the
League of Patriots is largely his own
work. Besides, he is an inspiring
spirit of the anti-Semitic leagues that
have lately been formed in Paris.
Since the affair of the barracks-Feb.
%, 1S99-De Roulede has boldly pro-
claimed his purpose to overthrow the
republic. His present was decided
upon as a means Of checking what
otherwise might in time become a dan
gerous organization. De Roulede may
know more than he is willing to tell
of the attempted assassination of La
bori, one of the cOunselors of Dreyfus,
from ambush recently at Rennes.

daughter. the Countess de Castellane,
to reproduce in Paris the palace of the
Grand Trianon, as built by the French
Kings at Versailles more than two
centuries ago. Three quarters of an
acre of land was bought at the inter-
section of the Avenue du Bots de Bou
logne and the Avenue Malakoff, at an
expense of close to a million of dol
lars, this being the most costly resi-
Dental site in Paris. Public interest
has been made keen by the announce
ment that while the exterior would
hold true to the Fourteenth century,
the interior was to be a blending of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth periods,
if the Gould millions and the cunning
of the French architects could COM
pass this unique desire. The revival Of
tectural history was so remarkable an
undertaking that from its beginning
the progress of this house has been
followed with such a wide interest as
has been given TO few purely private
building projects. In May the family
was occupying the central portion, but

In Mercersburg. Pa, stands the old
home of James Buchanan, president OF
the United States from 1857 to 1861.
Underneath the roof of this ancient
structure Buchanan first saw the light
of day and spent the period of his
early boyhood. Some fifty years ago
the house was moved to the present
location from Stony Patler, several
miles distant. One of the stories OF
Buchanan's early life in this neigh
borhood states that his mother tied a
bell around his neck when he was quite
young so that she might be able to find
him readily if he strayed into the
woods. The home of Buchanan was a
trading post. 1t was on the line OF the
turnpike that ran from Chambersburg
