firmament Well Formulated.

In his lecture at the Royal institu-
tion Sir Robert Ball, late astronomer
royal in Ireland, stated that we now
know the existence of 30,00O,0OO OF
stars or suns, many of them much
more magnificent than the one which
gives light to our system. The ma.
jority OF them are not visible to the
eye or even recognizable by the tele.
scope, but sensitized Photographic
plates have revealed their existence
beyond all doubt or question, though
most of them are almost inconceiv-
ably distant, thousands or tens OF
thousands of times as far off as our
sun. A telegraphic message, for ex.
ample, which would reach the sun in
eight minutes would not reach some
of these stars in 1,S0O years. An
average of only ten planets to each
sun indicates the existence within the
narrow range to which human obser-
vation is still confined of at least 30O,-
100000 of separate worlds, many of
them doubtless of gigantic size, and
it is nearly inconceivable that those
worlds can be wholly devoid of living
and sentient beings upon them,
probably mortal in our sense, rs all
matters must decay; certainly finite.
And then what is the relative position
of mankind?

The President in Public.
8. F. Argonaut.

1t is a point OF etiquette, univer-
sally observed at the national capital,
never to obtrude attention upon the
President when he appears in public.
On the street or in any place OF
amusement in Washington the Presi-
dent has the undisputed privilege of
appearing as any private citizen. He
is never stared at unless it is by strang-
ers, and his appearance in theater
is not greeted with any sort of demon.

where he pleases in the streets Of
Washington, meeting with no further
notice than the tipping of a hat, un-
less of his own motion he stops to
speak with some one. Office seekers
and petitioners never venture to ap-
proach him on the street. His surest
riddance of the opportunities of the
throng is to 60 out among them.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, speaking of
the American customs that had inn
pressed him, remarked that, while o

A Very Hot Place.

From all accounts the Red sea is
the hottest place this side of hades.
A recent statement made in England
is to the effect that only one steamer
in 20 passes through it without loss OF
life from the heat. Some of the ac-
counts of tourists make the blood in
the temperate zone boil. Bombay
was for long time reported to be the
hottest place on earth, but that was
before the Suez canal was opened
Now the travellers are glad to get
there, so that they can cool of. 1t

Good Seasoninss.

A fine seasoning for chicken salad is
to slice an onion on the top of the pre-
pared chicken and let it marinate two
hours or more, adding at the same
time few drops of prepared chervil.
Be sure that every particle of onion is
taken from the chicken before adding
the dressing.
Small pickles, olives and capers,
minced very fine, are an excellent sea-
soning for salad dressing.
When boiling chickens for salad or
pressed loaf, put in quarter of a
pound OF good salt pork-it is an ex-
cellent seasoning. Let chicken cool
in the water.
Put sugar in the water used for bas-
ting meats of all kinds; it gives a
good flavor, to veal more especially.
To give a fine flavor to corned.beei
hash. use good stock for moistening,
with pinch of salt, sugar and cay
enne.
Three tablespoons of freshly made
Japan tea, with bit Of nutmeg, give
an indescribable flavor to an apple pie.
Boston baked beans can be greatly
improved by adding cup of sweet
cream the last hour of baking.

ing quite taking.
Add cup OF good cider vinegar to
the water in which you boil fish, sspe-
cially salt water fish.
Make snow cake with srrowroot
-four; the flavor is delicious.
When boiling ham put in cup Of
black molasses, one onion, q few
cloves and pepper-corns, adding a
bunch of hay; it seasons finely. Let
the ham cool in the water in which it
was boiled, skin, rub with brown sugar
and brown in slow oven for an hour,
basting every fifteen minutes with
some of the stock in which it was
cooked. Epicures like the last bas-
ting of sherry.

Trusts.
National Watchinap.

The New York Snn in an editorial
in last Sundays edition says that Mr..
Bryan is right for once and quotes him
as saying that "the Republican party
is impotent to destroy trusts"
1t goes on to say that "the Republi.
can party and the Democratic party
and every other party is imporent
against trusts" and then goes on to
talk about the denunciation of trusts
by politicians and platforms as mere
political defamation.
OF course every one knows that all
the denunciation of and vituperation
against trusts that the Republican
party will indulge in will be mere po-
litical defamation for the purpose of
deceiving innocent voters. 1t is we'll
known that the trusts will control the
next Republican convention and die
tate its platform, and that the Repub.
lican candidates will be pledged to be-
tray the voters and defend the trusts,
and that the trusts will support the
Republican candidates and contribute
an enormous corruption fund to buy
the election. Under these circum-
stances any person not q natural born
idiot will readily understand that the
antitrust TRADES of Republican SPELL
binders will be insincere and only dec
lamation for the purpose of holding in
line class OF voters for whose intelli-
gence and independence they have lit
tie respect.
But the trusts themselves we'll know
that if the articles they control are to
be put upon the free list that foreign
competition will assert itself and their
despotism in domestic trade will fall
to the ground. The money kings and
bond-holders we'll know that with sill
yer restored to its rightful place in
our coinage that the general level of
prices will advance and that individu.
al enterprise will have a chance to
prosper again and that the trusts will
be unable to crush out individuals and
firms under such circumstances. The
editor of the Sun we'll knows that Mr..
Bryan was right, and he further
knows that the Democratic party can
destroy the trusts and that the success
of the Democratic party next year will
mean the doom of not only the indus
trial combinations but the parent
trust of trusts, the money power in
America.

HIGH LIFE IN GOTHAM.
A Scorchins Criticism of the WaIdorf.Astoria
and Its Habitues.

The Waldorf-Astoria and hotel is n
great temple OF Mammon. You go
there at any time and the only things
you hear about are millions. You see
millionaires of all sorts, fat and lean,
young and old. You hear them, at
the bar or gathered around tables,
talking margins" and of trusts and
of millions. Everybody seems, around
the Waldorf at least, to be money
mad. The bellboys won't look at at a
tip less than 81. In the cafe an egg
costs as much as square meal. Ci-
gars at 81 apiece are quite the ordi-
nary thing. You can spend months
salary on dinner for four, and wine
at $l5 per bottle is not at all exorbit-
ant.
The place is crowded all the time by
the wealthiest visitors to Manhattan
from all over the world. You are told
in awe.inspiring whispers that there
are suits of rooms costing $3.50 per
day. You are shown the safe which
at this very moment holds 81 ,OOO, 900
worth of valuables belonging to
guests. And you'll see millionaires
eating with their knives, and you'll
hear dowagers telling their friends 81
done it" and al seen her" Money,
money, money! The continual eleva-
ton of it is nauseating. There is
something sordid in all the Waldorf,
Astoria splendor.
The atmosphere of the Waldorf-As-
toria is reeking with vulgarity and
unhealthiness. All these millionaires
are nothing, after all, but horde of
gamblers. And the women, so far as
one sees them, seem to be oppressed
by their wealth. If there is anything
more horrible than the high Gotham
life in which every man and woman
every day is sentenced to evening
dress after 6 o'clock, where is it?
A distinguished man of letters said
to me, after view of the Waldorf-As-
tor cafe in the evening, where you
have to reserve your table in the early
afternoon, "The trouble with these
people is that they have no souls"
And most of them haven't. They live
solely for the senses. They are to be
pitied rather than envied.

Testing a Diamond.
Washington Star.

"When in doubt as to the genuine
ness of Il diamond" said a leading
dealer in precious stones to the writer
recently" there is only one really re.
liable way by which the expert or the
amateur Judge can determine the
quality of the article and that is to
test its hardness by holding it against
a rapidly revolving grindstone from
five to ten minutes. Then, if the
least mark appears upon the diamond,
it is not real stone, for if it we're
a diamond, 80 far from any mark be-
ing produced upon it, it would be
likely, on the other hand. to make a
deep impression on the grindstone.
The same test may also be made with
emery paper or on an emery wheel,
neither of which, although harder
than grindstone, will make any i'm
preston upon a genuine diamond.
"This is good thing for one to re-
member in these days of manufac-
tured diamonds. The paste article is
now made with such care that it
sometimes tests the skill of the ex-
pert to distinguish the genuine from
the bogus, but if the grindstone is
brought into play there can be no
room for doubt. Some people think
that if they rub stone against glass
and it makes deep impression it is a
diamond. But nearly all paste dia-
monds will scratch glass, and the
limitations of sapphires, rubies and
emeralds will do the same"

Art Not Merchandise.

The recent discovery OF Turner's
first exhibited picture has set going a
Turner story that has not been spoiled
by much telling.
An art patron one day came into
Turner's studio when the artist was
already famous. He looked at pic.
ture, and asked what was the price.
The artist named the sum he had set
upon it.
"Whatw exclaimed the buyer, call
those golden sovereigns for so much
paint?"
"Oh," replied Turner, "its paint
you are buying? 1 thought it was
pictures. "Here," producing a half
used tube OF color. "Pll let you have
that cheap; make your own terms,
and turning his back on the aston.
ished patron, he went on painting.

The Good and Evil of Combination.
New York Journal.

AS the lines OF next years Presi
dental campaign take shape, the Re-
publican party finds itself forced
whether it will or not, to defend the
trusts. The argument it adopts is
that organization is necessary in mod
ern life, and that in opposing trusts
the Democracy is trying to reverse the
current of history.
OF course organization is necessary.
1t is the highest expression of intel
ligence and progress.
But like other forces employed in
the work of modern civilization it is a
good servant but a bad master. II
gives an opportunity for oppression
and against this oppression we must
legislate.
There is no objections to guns, but
there is to murder. There is no law
to prevent man from owning n gun,
but there laws to regulate his use OF
it.
The trust, like labor-saving machin.
cry, throws a certain element out OF
employment; in this case the middle
men. That is regretable but un.
avoidable. The middle man is a ne
cessity only where the social organiza-
tion is incomplete. In so far as
trusts enable employees to be stock
holders in the enterprises that employ
them they serve useful purpose.
But the advantages that accompany
the improved organization Of industry
must not be sought at the cost of the
sacrifice OF individual and national
independence to the power of capital
Trusts must be regulated and re-
stricted, and the best way to regnla te
those which deal with great national
resources and public necessities is to
have them owned and managed by the
government.

THE celebrated German chemist,
the late Baron Liebig, wrote as fol-
lows on the drink question: "In
many cases destitution and misery
have been ascribed to the increasing
use of spirits. This is an error. The
use of spirits is not the cause, but an
effect of poverty. On the other hand,
when the laborer earns, by his work,
less than is required to provide the
amount of food which is indispensable
in order to restore fully his working
power, an unyielding inexorable law OF
necessity compels him to have re-
course to spirits.

The Largest Trees in the World.
Ladies' Home Journal,

The largest tree in the world is to
be seen at Mascali, near the foot OF
Mount Etna, and it is called "the
Chestnut Tree Of Hundred Horses. u
It's name rose from the report that
Queen Jane OF Aragon, with her prin-
cipal nobility, took refuge from a VIC.
lent storm under its branches. The
trunk is 204 feet in circumference.
The largest tree in the United States,
it is said, stands near Bear Greek, on
the north fork of the Tule river, in
California. 1t measures 40 feet in
circumference. The giant redwood
tree in Nevada is l19 feet in circum.
ference.

A Story Of Units.

William braOfOrQ DlckgOn
Once upon time there were many
little units-greater than the sands of
the sea in number-all living together
as one family, and all occupying GER
tain positions in accordance with the
law of Good established by God.
They were all very happy little units,
because they knew they were obeying
God, their Father, and this never fails
to make one happy.
But one day a big beast, called
Mortal Mind, came along near them
and suggested that they have debate
as to which was the greatest and best.
Then these little units forgot all
about God and His law-"iLittle chill.
dren love one another"-and began to
crowd, and jostle, and push each other,
the one in units place, trying to get
the place occupied by tens, and the
one in tens place trying to get the
place occupied by hundreds-each
thinking that the place occupied by
the other was the best.
And they were all very unhappy lit.
