clutches of the gold brick man or away
from the shell game. 1t is usual to at
tribute the quality of infidelity to his
preachments because he tarnished the
simmer Of the crown Of gold. We
envy the audacity of the Presbyterian

York, Presbyterian church: mo man

Christian" 1t may be that others in
cline to the opinion of the reverend
gentleman, in view of the treaty with
the Sultan Of Sulu, who is allowed to
practice polygamy and shoot Chris
tians. Mayhap, the good-intentioned
Filipino feels the same thrill when his
conquerors permit an influx of Chinese
cheap labor into the Philippines. Or,
the Hawaiian may not gloat as he
ought over the American flag when all
kinds of European dregs are brought
in under contract to compete with him.
1t may also be possible that some
American citizens who are being alb
sorbed, body and soul, by the gold
standard and forced to compete
against demonetized silver, ere not as
hilariously patriotic as the pious de-
votees who rejoice at the combina-
tion Of flag, Bible and killing.

The size of the head should be in
proportion to the rest of the body.
Artists and horsemen have agreed that
the length of the head from the poll
to the extremity of the lips should
bear certain relation to the size of
the rest of the body. This proportion
is stated as follows: The height of the
body from the withers to the ground,
or the distance between the points OF
the shoulder and the hip JOINT should
be two and one-half times the length
of the head. If the distances are
more than two and one half times the
length of the head, it is too short; if
the reverse is the case, it is too long.
When the head is the proper length
it is carried with ease, responds easily
to the action of the bit, and does not
burden the front legs. If too long, it
is also too heavy, displaces the center
of gravity forwards, bears heavily on
the reins, diminishing speed and pre-
disposcs to stumbling.

POLITICAL THEOLOGY.

Theology, morals and the gold stand
ard seem to have grown in together
like Siamese triplets, and, owing to
misconceived notion of that sacred
sentiment once upon time called
patriotism" they are fed to the dear
people as a virtue. and the correct
badge Of distinction between a good
American citizen and wicked fire.
breathing anarchist. Is it justiiiable
for man to do wrong that good may
come of it? Aye, faith it seems so,
and If he has once fallen into the way
of wrong he is bound to continue
therein until the final crash to pre-
serve his honor The doctrine leans
trifle away from what the average
American was formerly taught at Sun
day school, but as no less a parsonage
than Brother Mckinley is preaching
1t to the youthful and presumably in
nocent youth of our modern Sunday
schools, we are fain to accept it as re-
formed doctrine, all the more as the
superintendents are crying, like griped
children for soothing syrup, for him
to come and teach them the new doc
trine. A whole volume of things might
be written anent the theological view
of the Philippine situation, but the
truth is bad enough without being
fanatical about it. If Mr.. Jabez Gold
brick of Musquash, who, year after
year, raises corn at cost of % cents
bushel and sells it at II cents, feels
that his honor is involved in the
heologico-political moral situation in
the Philippines, and is satisfied there
with, all we have the right to say is
what the Frenchman said to his con-
gregation: May the Lord preserve
and pickle you" 1t is a bald fact
which detracts somewhat from the
practical value of our system of edu
cation that a man who can inform the
public how they can invest their
money in the most expeditions way to

From W. j. Bryan's Chicago speech:
When we come to the Philippine ques-
ton again they say, What can the ad-
months between the signing of the
treaty and the breaking out of hostili-
ties, two months lacking six days, and
when we ask them what they were 60
ing to do they said they hadn't time to
decide what to do-not time to decide
what to do. Why, there are but two
sources OF government, force and con-
sent. Monarches are founded upon
force, republics upon consent. Our
Declaration of Independence declares
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned. Is that doctrine true or is it
false? If it is false, how long ought it
to take us to decide what to do in the
Philippines? We recognize the truth
Of that declaration when we went to
war with Spain. We said the people
of Cuba are and Of right ought to be
free. Why? Because they live near
us? No. Because they are part Span
NO. nCy WSlt ethu VI liSIl
ought to be free because they wanted
to be free, and governments come up
from the people. If they were and OF
right ought to be free, who can draw a
line between them and the people of
the Philippines? Where is the phil
osophy that entities one to liberty and
another to vassalage? You say you
don't know what to do? II you find a
pocketbook, and in it the name Of the
owner, do you have to count the money
in the pocketbook before you know
what to do with the pocketbook? II
the doctrine set forth in the Declara-
tion Of Independence is sound then we
can not rightfully acquire title by con-
quest. If the doctrine set forth in the
Declaration of Independence is sound
we can not rightfully purchase S,000,000

Unless fruits of any kind can be got
into the ground very early in the
spring it is better to set in the fall
In spite of this fact large part of the
setting of fruits is done in the spring
When fruits are set in the fall they
have the winter in which to get
settled in the soil. 1t is hardly pos
sible to pack the soil about the finer
roots of plant and get that close
contact that is necessary to growth
without injuring them to some extent.
If the setting is done in the fall, after
growth has practically ceased, there
is no necessity for extraordinary pains
about getting the soil packed around
the finer roots. This will be accom-
plished by natural agencies during
the winter, and when the growing sea-
son of spring comes the plants will be
ready to grow at once and grow
vigorously.
There is more leisure in the fall
and more pains can be taken in pre-.
pairing the soil for the trees or plants.
The soil is dry and may be worked
without danger of making it hard
when it settles and dries, and is often
the case when the soil is worked in
the spring.
This is particularly true of tree
fruits Of all kinds. They should be
set in holes that are both wide and
deep to begin with, being filled to
the proper depth for the tree before
it is set in. This gives the feeder
roots deep and we'll pulverized soil
in which to hunt for plant food, and
the future growth Of the tree will be
much more rapid than 1t would have
been if set in shallow hole when
the soil Is wet or at best very damp.
Grapes and berries set in the fall
are in the best condition to come into
bearing at an early age, as they have
the whole growing season of the first
year in which to prepare for fruit the
second or third year. After consider
able experience in this line we are
convinced that the weight of argu-
ment is in favor of fall setting

"Oh. you had it type-written?"
"4es, L rather spoiled the neatness

but did not say so. His thanks even
did not have true ring. But South
ard was pleased and rather confident
that he had done Grant a good turn.
In few weeks the article appeared
1t was timely in subject, aud as it was
rarely well done it attracted attention.
Itwas the leading article of the month.
1t was Grants.
"That is bright chap you intro
duced here" the publisher said to
Southard. "What do you know of
him?"
Southard said pleasant things of
Grant, extolling his ability, learning
and industry, SO the publisher, whose
editor had rSsigned, sent for the sue
cessful Grant and offered him the
post. He took it as quick as wink
and at once rushed off to tell the news
to Southard. Southland was unfelgn-
edly glad, but he was also very much
surprised.

Grant had gone, ST always stood we'll

meet now, as the new editor was busy
with unaccustomed duties. In month

expressly for Grants magazine. A
few days after sending it he received
this letter written by dictation:

Whiskers and Deadly Germs,

A German scientist has recently OBJ
tained what seem to be conclusive
proofs of the presence of pathogenic
germs in the whiskers that appertain
to physicians. He declares that the
boards of doctors, who are constantly
being brought into contact with all
kinds of diseases, literally swarm with
these germs, and shows that contagion
is often spread by the very man whose
business should be to check it.
In Breslau, where tho tests and ex-
aminations of the whiskers have been
made, the people have developed a
strong opposition to boards, aud those
practitioners who object to being shorn
of their hirsute adornments may be
seen going through the streets with
their whiskers safely slowed away
in rubber pouches made especially
for the purpose. In some other
places the war on germs has been
carried to Il point where women who
act as nurses in hospitals or private
families are compelled to have their
hair cut short and to wear rubber caps
over their heads while performing their
duties at the sick beds. Doctors who
refuse to give up their whiskers and
nurses who cling to their luxuriant
locks are avoided as the plague, and,
altogether, the outlook for the BARRIERS
is very encouraging. Chicago Times

Ohio Exposition far Her Centennial,

Director General Ryan of the Ohio
centennial estimates that $4,000, 900
will be placed IN the enterprise. Con-
gress appropriated $500, 900 on the con-
dltion that Toledo, where the exposi-
tion is to be held, would give a like
amount. This has been done, and the
city is also preparing a beautiful site
on the bay shore which will cost $780,
600 more. The legal title OF the CEN
tennial is "The Chic Centennial and
Northwest Territory Exposition" and
1t will be held in 1902. Ohio was the
first of the six important states to be
carved out of the Northwest territory,
the others being Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
All of these states have appointed CON-
missioners to see that they are repre-
sented in the exposition, and they will
have their state buildings and exhibits.
Ohio was really admitted to the union
In 1909.

Things Getting Badly Mixed.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer: The
administration has bribed the sultan Of
Sulu to "be good" and has permitted
him to retain all of his many wives.
The government of the United States

of the sultan's harem. Still, we hear
something occasionally about ousting

who has only three wives and asks no
assistance in supporting them. This
blessed country is getting mixed up in

Cherries For profit and Shade.

The same people who still continue
to set out wild cherry trees along the
roadside in front of their residences,
instead of good, cultivated fruit, will
aid in keeping up the demand for
good cherries in future and will con-
tinue to buy what they might have
much better at home. While cherries
now pay as we'll or better than any
other fruit, these people grow for
shade only, and leave it to others to
grow for profit, while shade and profit

Tho English Black Currant.

A good many people like the
peculiar flavor of the English black
currant when eaten raw. But many
more like it when cooked with plenty
of sugar. 1t makes All extremely rich

peculiar flavor is nearly as decided as
when the fruit Is eaten raw. The
currant worm does not attack the
leaves of black currants. Before the
use of hellebore to destroy the worm,
it was planted much more extensively
than it has been of late years. There
is little demand for this fruit now.
