From dispatch in this edition OF The
Times it appears that the annexation move
ment in Nicaragua is gaining strength
daily. and that it would take little effort to
add that interoceanic jewel to the crown Of
imperial America. Such an eyentuality is
almost TOO good to hope for. 1t would
round out our possessions and give us such
a command of the waters of the earth that
it is supposable the very thought viii raise
a storm of protest from the influential Hes
sian and Tories whose only national aspi-
rations are TO mend the Chinese wall of
protection" and to prevent the building of
the Nicaragua Canal.

1t is very interesting to note that the
Anarchists of Europe are preparing to hold
a mass convention at The Hague for the
purpose OF endorsing the Cars disarma-
ment proposition. Their leaders say that
they VIII pass resolutions favorlng the
abolition of all standing armies. From
their own point of view the Anarchists are
quite right The disappearance of stinding
armies would leave the Anarchists as the
only organized armed force on the CONT
nent and that would promote the cause of
anarchy most beautifully.

Genuine Femininity.
"I OBSERVE" said a coarse, brutal
man who doesn't know the difference
between the higher and nobler' and
load of ash coal, according to the
Washington Post, "that the advertising
ends of this months magazines are
publishing testimonial as to the mer-
it's of a certain brand of toilet soap,
written by one of the ladies who has
been doing her little bit during the
last half century toward securing the
franchise for woman. Her picture is
run in with the ad and her testimonial
is surely heap fulsome for volun-
tary contribution. In the course OF
her remarks she says, I abhor per-
fumed woman 1t is to take short,
jerky biff at this remark that emerge
from my cave and leap into the fracas.
l love a perfumed woman. l think
perfumed woman is the real thing in
femininity-the daintily perfumed
woman, who, when she swishes by
you, has something about her that
makes you vaguely remember the old
honeysuckle covered porch that you
knew quarter of a century ago; who
carries with her the suggestion OF
asphodelian dales and starlit meadows.
1t isn't particularly because of the
elusive, hop-smoky, garden-of-Daphne
fragrance that the perfumed woman
daintily emits that I think she's the
one and only real thing in long drap-
cries. It's because she typifies the fem
mime woman. Gimme Tyre, or
harp, or fuglehorn, or kazoo-any
old thing-that may sing the praises
and the glories Of the feminine wom-
an! She was here in the worlds early
dawn, and she's going to be right here
alongside of us when we're having
SEAS round trip excursions to Mars!
It's because she's feminine that she's
adorable! It's because every once in
awhile she gets her work done early
so she can go upstairs and have
good cry it's because she brushes us
into pulp with her because; it's be-
cause she admits our premises and de-
mics our conclusions; it's because
she'll begin to purse her lips for baby
talk when she sees an infant block
away; it's because she loves roses and
lacey things and only 50 per pound
candy; it's because she gives us the
reproachful eye when we ought to be
sewed UP in blanket and dubbed; it's
because she'll dig and delve and
scrape and scrap for her husband and
her little ones until icy stalactites
hang from the roof of Gehenna; it's
because she dabs her eyes with little
wad of mouchoir until her nose is red
when she sees real human suffering;
it's just because she's feminine, Bill,
and therefore such derned big sight
better than we are, that she had us on
the lope and plum loco over her ever
since the days of the Hykscs kings of
Egypt! Gimme lutte that I may chant
of the physical, mental, moral and
spiritual loneliness of the perfumed
who is also the feminine woman! May
she be with us until the grand bust UP
Of all things!''

To Clean Diamonds.

Just at this season, when the world
is full of brides, and sunbursts and
stars and other dazzling gifts of the
groom" seem as common as plain gold
wedding rings, hint on how to clean
diamonds artfully may not come amiss
The stones should first be washed in
warm water and yellow soapsuds, with
small but not too hard brush. Rinse
and dry them carefully with soft
cloth or silk handkerchief, and put
them into box containing lockwood
dust. Move them about in this for
some time until they seem perfectly
dry, free them from the powder and
polish with tissue paper.

CHINANEN FEED THEIR DEAD.
Curious Custom of the Orientals That
Is Observed Twice q Year.

Is Observed Twice Year.
Twice a year, in the first week of
April and October, the Chinese feed
their dead. They think that once their
friends and relatives leave this mortal
coil they ought to stay away from this
world, and to prevent their return
they faithfully transmit to them all
the necessaries of life. 1t has been
discovered by oriental wisdom that the
way to transmit servants, songs,
plays, books and money is to manu-
facture them in paper and burn them.
But actual eatables must be carried
TO the grave. The Chinese are not
Stingy, and wagon loads of roasted
chickens, pigs, ducks, various sweet
eteries. The food is piled before each
grave. amid burning red, carrot-shaped
candles and joss sticks. Then the liv-
Ing PROSTATE themselves before the
dead and beg them to rise up, and en-
JOY themselves. Chinese wines are
then sprinkled literally over the
graves, while some graves, receive
boxes of cigars and packages Of cigar
cites. But you must not suppose that
the eatables are left on the graves.
Oh, no! That would be throwing too
much temptation in the way of hea-
then tramps. In about two hours it is
believed that the ghosts got the es-
sence of the eatables conveyed to- them
and then the devotees gather up the
offerings and carry them home again
to feed their own material bodies.
But the cigars and cigarettes are
burned on the graves.

WANTED--A BUTTE MAN.

Are the Anaconda Standard people will
ing to drop Conrad and give their sup
mort to H. L. Frank, w. W. Dixon, D. j.
Hennessv or G., w. Stapleton, or is its
WILLINGNESS to support 'anybody but
Clark political moonshine? The vote OF
the west side delegations at Helena
shows what the Standard really advo-
Gates, or at least that is the impression
in Butte. for if it favored Frank, or
Dixon, or Stapleton, or any other Butte
man, it would say so, and drop a hint to
the west side aggregation of statesmen
in Helena who seem to have forgotten
where they live and imagine themselves
residents of Great Falls or Kalispell.
For political reasons the Inter Noun
tain is opposed to the election of Mr..
Clark, and there may be other reasons
developed as soon as the courts can ar
rive at a decision respecting recent ugly
charges. 1t also opposes Conrad partly
because Of the fact that his position on
the silver issue is not well defined, being
no better in fact than that of the Ana
conda Standard. So why not have a new
deal all round and new candidates? All
that the Inter Mountain asks is that a
Butte man be elected.

CONRAb'S TOP HAND.

It would seem hat a great mistake
made when the legislative votes
from the big west side counties were
cast for Conrad. 1t was never intended
by the influences which control those
votes that Conrad should bc elected. The
G'play'' was to make Conrad feel good,
so that when the time came to elect
somebody, either Mr.. Mats. or John r.
Toole, or w. w. Dixon, the west side
votes could be withdrawn from Conrad
and passed over, with the addition of Mr..
Conrad's strength, to the Anaconda
Standards candidate. But Mr.. Conrad
is no tyro. He accepted the west side
support with thanks and proposes to keep
it. Should it be withdrawn he might
throw his own strength to Clark, or join
with the Clark people in the call for a
caucus. What then would become of
the west side game to beat Silver Bow
county out of a SENATOR? 1t looks just
now as though Conrad has the top hand
as far as the Anaconda candidates are
concerned. Some one has blundered, and
if the result shall be the election of Mr.
Clark the responsibility will not be hare
to fix. Evidently Mr.. Clark has no cor,
ner on political fools in this state. NJ
wonder the Standard cries name whom
you please"
