If there is no tranquility in the ideal
home without domestic economy,
there can be also no good temper and
happiness without the thrift that ends
in saving. 1t is not alone necessary
TO spend no more than your income:
it is equally obligatory to save a pOr-
ton of it for future emergencies. The
man who has not the fOrtitude to
avoid consuming every year all
his earnings of the year does
not deserve an ideal home. TO be
solvent, a man should have suffi-
cient earnings saved and invested to
meet the inevitable rainy day which
comes in one form or another to every
individual and every family, claims a
writer in the Christian Register. TO
be honorable to his marriage vows, a
man should have some provision made,
~ the form of life insurance for the
support of his wife and family, should
death suddenly Overtake HIM.

Britain VIII Have to Release the
Italian Vessel,
ATTITUDE IN THE LAST WAR
Britain then Insisted that Sulphur
was Not Contraband-Spain Had
TO Withdraw the Item,

New York, Jan. 13.-A special dis
patch to the Tribune from Washington
says:
The reported seizure b. the British
at Port Elizabeth Of an Italian bark
laden with sulphur, in the opinion Of
the state department authorities is an
other case that Lord Salisbury will
have TO disayow as explicitly as he
has done in the American flour Ques-
ton. II is said to be beyond reason
that Great Britain would consent to re-
gard sulphur as contraband any more
than she would be willing TO include
foodstuffs in that category, for in a
war with commercial power, the pre-
cedent would be fatal TO her manufac-
lures.
The United States in entering upon
the war with Spain included saltpeter
in the list Of contraband liable TO con-
fiscation as II was used In the manu-
facture Of powder, and besides II was
easily obtainable in this country. Spain.
however, for some obscure reason, in
cluded sulphur in her contraband
schedule, and was subsequently COM
PEELED to withdraw the item upon the
strenuous remonstrance Of ltaly-a pro-
test which was supported according 10
the prevalent belief at the time, by
Great Britain and other European
powers. 1t was shown then TO the sat
isfaction Of Spain that sulphur could
have only indirect use In connection
with war material, while 1t was essen
tial in the peaceful arts and trades
Italy did not propose to lose her great
American market for the product and
Great Britain and other European ma
lions were ayerse TO the adoption OF
rule Of war which might at any time
in the future paralyze their industries
dependent upon sulphuric acid. With
sulphur contraband Spain could have
stopped every Italian vessel passing
Gibraltar, to the serious injury Of lal-
ian commerce, without giving the
United States more than temporary II
any, inconvenience.
This incident between Italy and
Spain. being Of such recent Importance.
was probably not generally known 10
British naval officers, but II Is difficult
TO explain why these officers were una
ware Of their governments policy as 10
foodstuffs and other products in transit
on the high seas.
If It turns out that the italian bark
was only detained for the purpose Of
examination no international question
is likely TO arise, as the right OF visit
and search is regarded everywhere as
undisputed.

announce the feasibility OF cable route
across the Pacific, connecting San

The Nero surveyed between Guam

The Nero has found a depth Of less

important British detectives.
The imperial yeomanry, after the first
flush OF public applause, is being
gagged glngerly. 1t Is dawning upon
the minds Of all that what Great Brit
ain wants are crack shots and rough
riders after the type Of the American
cavalrymen, and frequent comments
appear pointing out that the average
yeoman who is a farmer does not come
up to this standard, while the average
lordllng, who adds brilliancy TO the
force, II not generally much nearer the
mark In this respect than his yeomsn
tenant: that both have far less military
training than the members Of the vol
unteer force, and IL Is fact hat a
large perc antage of the enrolled imperial
yeOmen have never served even in the
yeomanry. What Is being forced upon
the war office Is that one hundred colo
malls accustomed TO bush whacking,
COW punching and scouting are worth
one thousand English clerks and farm
ers.
To find instances OF the appalling TN
piactlcablllty distinguishing the forma-
ton OF Great Britain's irregular corps
II Is only necessary TO read the list OF
the kit being taken out by the city OF
London volunteers. The officers OF this
body carry 10 the plains OF South Afri-
ca an air pillow, cork mattress, canvas
basin, bath bucket, tin box OF candles,
lantern, filter and a host OF other
impedfinents that an American Officer
would burn before starting on a ten
mile march, while the men are laden
down with four pairs OF pants. four
pairs of shoes, three caps, paiamas, two
large turkish towels, filter, a clothes
brush, a writing portfolio, and Other
Domestic articles. No wonder the Brit
ish forces are not mobile.
The revival OF "She Stops 10 Con-
quer" Tuesday and "A Midsummer

ter Wednesday, have given decided
impetus TO the languid theatrical sea-
son. Both performances were decided
successes. Beerbohrl Tree surpassed
