About once in five years somebody
turns up in the newspapers and kicks
up discussion by boldly declaring that
animals do not reason. Promptly the
editor is whelmed with letters. "Ex-
cuse me. but I have dog or cat that
has more reason than the average man. :"
Then we get the same old stories over
again-how Carlo pulled a child from
the river, how Towser slept by the lost
baby to keep it warm, etc.-and so the
merry nonsense goes on. The London
Spectator for year gave up large
portion of its space to this cheerful con
troversy without proving anything ex-
cept that every man who has pet dog
or a pet cat believes that the pet rea-
sons. and every philosopher and savant
from Sir John Lubbock down does not
Whenever the stock of interesting let
tiers to the editor runs low, there are
two ways out Of the dearth. One of
them is to insist that a woman's brain
is smaller than a mans, and the other
is to declare that dogs do not reason.

Senator Clark of Montana is spending
a great deal of money in Europe for the
very best works of art, which he pro-
poses to send to the Pacific slope. a
Paris correspondent says that he has
already spent $500, 900 in Italy and
France for the best examples of modern
art in painting and statuary. Nor is
this mere exhibition of patronizing
wealth. The senator has shown a severe
taste and has selected works on account
ct their intrinsic excellence, battling
nearly all the dealers who tried to i'm
pose upon him with copies It is well tc
make note Of this, because hitherto
wealthy Americans have won the repu-
tation in Europe of spending great deal
of money for worthless pictures, and
because it proves that the wealthy men
of the west are no longer to be classed
among the mere parvenus who are chief
~ anxious to get rid Of their money
During the last ten years the Pacific
slope has received from abroad very
many costly and precious works of art
that connoisseurship and wealth COM
| bined could alone obtain.

The liberal Uncle Sam has notified
the Spanish government through the
French embassy that he is ready to paw
at any moment the twenty millions
named in the treaty Of peace as an in
demnity for the Philippines. But Uncle
Sam distinctly refused to make the pay
ment in Spain. He insisted that it
should be made in New York. Spain
suggested that owing to this require
ment the Spanish government might
incur some loss through the payment Of
the commission necessary to transfer SC
large sum of money across the Allan
tic, but Uncle Sam pointed cut COM
placently that, as he offered to pay the
money three months in advance of the
time allowed by the treaty, the interest
on it for that time would amount to
very much more than the cost of trans
portation. He said this with that cool
authority which is so characteristic OF
the Yankee, and that settled it.

A serious accusation has been made
in Berlin against the psychologists, doc
tors and psychologists in the hospitals
by the minister Of education, and it is
that these scientific men indulge in
serious experiments with patients, hav.
ing little regard for their lives. They
inject living germs of fatal diseases
without respect to the rights of the pa
tient with the desire to prove their own
theories. This recalls the police rumor
started during the plague convention
in Florence in 1897 that the black death
had been revived by the nihilists from
germs found in the trench at Marseilles.
This startling story originated in the
police bureau at St. Petersburg and
was said to have been brought to light
by correspondence captured in a raid
upon nihilists @.>.-. s..

w. Z. Pierce, secretary and treasurer
of the United Mine Workers. associa-
ton, gave some very interesting and
encouraging information to the indus
trial commission in Washington. MI.
Pierce is a practical miner of Is years
experience and has been ten years an
official of the association. He spoke en-
couragingly of the steady improvement
in the condition of the miners, and
pointed out especially the advantages
that had been gained by the eight hour
labor law now in force in Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Neither
the operators nor the miners desire to
return to the longer hours of labor.
With regard to immigration, he said
that the influx of English, French, Ger
mans and the northern races of Europe
was not injurious or even disturbing,
for they generally believed in maintain
ing high standard of living and
morals. This was not the case with the
Slavs, Poles, Hungarians, Italians and
the southern races generally. They were
of lower caliber mentally and morally,
and did not assimilate readily. They
chung to their primitive superstitions
and prejudices and brought their race
animosities with them. He further said
that the Mine Workers association had
now reached much higher plane of in
dustrial and communal interests. It ia
vored Cancellation and arbitration, but
was inclined to denounce both the in
junction and the strike.

Story of a Slave.

TO be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George D. Williams,
OF Manchester, Mich. tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: ''My

that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottle OF Elec-
trio Bltters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work. -
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness. Sleep

weak, sickly, run down people. Every

That A.my Beef.

Quite outside OF the political signif-
canoe or the official responsibility in
volved in the army beef investigation
is the anxiety Of the ordinary beef eat
ing layman to discover whether chem
ically preserved beef is absolutely good
and nourishing or diabolically bad, and
he will throw up his hands in despair if
he undertakes to arrive at any conclu-
sion from the contradictory reports of
the experts. DR.. w. D. Bigelow, chem
list OF the agricultural department., has
put himself on record as saying that
canned beef is far more nutritious than
beef that is not canned-in fact, it OBJ
tains some additional life giving quail
ties by being put up in tin. Professor
Mallet, on the other hand, declares with
equal force that canned beef is un-
wholesome and innutritious. The same
conflicting views are presented to us by
other chemists, some Of whom insist
that chemically treated beef is not as
wholesome as beef that is not chemical
~ treated and others of whom insist
that borax and salicylate add to the
longevity and future happiness of man.
General Shafter prefers canned beef to
beef on the hoof. Governor Roosevelt
doesn't, and the intelligent layman who
wades through all this testimony ar.
rives at the safe conclusion that what
is one mans meat is another mans
poison. This is not very brilliant dis
covery, seeing that it is as old as Abra-
ham, but it helps to clear away some of
the difficulties that have attended the
beef inquiry, for it shows US that while
some men may die by eating canned
beef others will get fat on that kind of
nourishment.

The people of indianapolis are wax
ing up to the fact that they are squan-
dering natural gas at fearful rate and
that the source will eventually give out.
One of the papers there calls attention
to the fact that many families let it
burn all the time rather than take the
trouble to turn it off. One visitor at
hotel relates that he desired to turn off
the gas burning in the stove in his
sleeping room, but finding no means of
doing so he rang the bell, when COL
ored servant responded, to whom he
made known his wants "Why, boss

New Orleans is preparing to export
beer to the West Indies. A number of
st. Louis and New York capitalists have
formed syndicate for that purpose.
The West Indies are very much in need
of a light bitter ale to compete with
Bass, so much priced in the tropics.
New Orleans can make the same quality
of beer at a cheaper rate than the Eng
fish, and there is a wide open mouth
for it in Cuba and Porto Rico.

Esthctis Decadence.

a coterie of crazy aesthetics has under
taken to revive in Paris the Egyptian
worship of Isis, and it is to be regretted
that the names of several American o.
men are mixed up in the ridiculous
scheme. One of them is the well known
Miss Blake Of Boston, the friend Of the
Countess Coetlogon, also well known in
New York, at one time conspicuous
figure in the group Of which the Count
ess de Trobriand and Mrs. Paran Ste
vens were the most prominent The prof.
ect to revive the worship of Isis is an
aesthetic fad, but it has signifcances
that reach beyond the intentions Of
these silly sensat ion seekers. Strictly
speaking. Isis worship is the COW wor-
ship in Egypt, and it's rites and cere-
monies have marked the decadence of
more than one nation. They were in
PRODUCED into Rome, and produced such
gross immortality that they were sup
pressed by the government. During the
latter days of the republic, edicts were
Issued that brought about the destruc-
ton of the Egyptian temples in the in
terest Of public decency. Under Tiberi-
as the worship again crept into Ro-
man society through the favor of PAM
pered patrician women, who went so
far as to dress up man and attempt to
pass him off as the god Anubis. For
more than three centuries Rome strug-
gled against the degrading invasion of
this Egyptian abomination. The satires
of Juvenal frequently allude to the
gross immortality practiced in the tenn
pies Of Isis and Scraps. The resurgenct
of this primitive superstition in Paris
indicates only the restlessness of NOR
bidly aesthetic minds, hunting through
the tombs of the past for new sensa-
ton. Paris has had it's sects of Neo-Pa-
gans and For oastrians, and at one time
there was an attempt made to revive in
some dark corner the worship of silva
| and Astarte Babylon, Antioch, Pom
peii and Egypt were searched for print
| tive delusions and antique excuses for
fresh exhibitions of sensuality in the
guise of art or religion.
