far more formidable enemy thai all the
Filipinos you can shake a stick at"
Sanders devoted himself almost en-
tfrely to the subject OF Imperialism. He
declared that Imperialism does not ex-
list, that circumstances make it impera-
tive on the nation to hold the Philippines
until some form Of government can be
established there. n that imperialism
will not be an issue unless this country
should refuse to grant the right Of self
government when the people become fit
ted for it.
Reviewing the late Spanish war and
it's causes, he asseverated that when the
battleship Maine was blown up in Ha-
vana harbor the whole country howled
for war-democrats and populists as we'll
as republicans. President Mckinley was
roundly abused. especially by the demo-
cratic press because he showed those
grave. s~tatesmanlike qualities which
caused him to hesitate before plunging
headlong into war. When he became sat
listed we had a casuS belhi he had declar-
ed war and not until then.
Now" said Sanders pausing for a mo-
ment to secure better effect. who coul
prophecy that the theater of war would
so soon be transferred from Cuba to the
Philippines? Whose prophetic eye could
pierce the curtain of the future and see
dmira Dewey demolishing a Spanish
fleet in Manila bay?
yet it occurred, and II was a mere ac-
cident that the battle occurred in Manila
bay instead of the middle of the Pacific.
Yet that accident Of war gave us the
Philippine Islands, and with their pos
session came a solemn duty-an obliga-
tion on the part of the American people
TO civilize these savage tribes and Civ
them a just form of government.
Then came the democrats, the very
men that had howled loudest and longest
for war, that had praised Dewey's feat
the most fervently, and for pure CAM
paign purposes demanded that the flag
should be hauled down and affairs in the
stands left to adjust themselves.
when you hear a man talking against
Imperialism you hear a man talking
about something he knows little or moth
ing about. There are rival tribes in
those islands, tribes whose hatred Of one
another is traditional, n If the army
of the United States were to be with
drawn from the Philippines the Tagals
and Macabebes would fall upon each

One of the most unpleasant duties of
parliament is the voting every year of
a sum of money for secret service.
Every n knows that it is to be used
to bride traitors and reward spies, and
there is nothing an Englishman so
much detests as a traitor or spy, even
when he is working for our own gov
eminent.
Consequently WI secret service fund
Is probably the smallest in the world.
Last year it amounted to only $1,000,
and not very much bribery can be eff
fected VITA that. But some years ago
it was three or four times that sum,
and some authorities appear to hold
the opinion that the interests OF the
state would be better served if it
amounted to $500, 900, instead Of $685.
900.
The spending of this money is one OF
those few secrets which are really kept.
Parliament votes the money. 1t is paid
into the treasury. Then permission is
given to the secretary for foreign af-
fairs. the secretary for the colonies,
the home secretary, and the Irish sec
rotary to draw on it as they require it
each being allowed a certain fixed fracz
ton of the whole amount.
Suppose our ambassador in Russia
suspects that certain preparations are
being made to seize a Persian or Chi
nese port. and he wants to get some
secret information, he draws whatever
sum Is necessary to pay to a spy, but
no one except himself knows to whom
he pays 1t.
Many M. P.is have objected to the
public money being spent in this way.
and year after year they try to obtain
information as to whom it is paid. But
of course to make the names public
would render the fund perfectly use
less.
But the most suspicious taxpayer
may be assured that the money is prop
erlv spent, AS a matter of fact, moi
much more thar half of the money is
ever expended, the balance being re-
turned to the exchequer. Moreover the
secretaries of state are under oath tie
spend the money honestly. When a
secretary of state is allotted his share
he has to take the following oath be.
fore a commissioner:
st swear that the money paid to me
for foreign secret service, or for de.
tecting, preventing and defeating con-
~spiracies against the state, has been
bona fde applied to the said purpose
and no other"

PRINCESS BIRTHDAY.


Recently in Paris the birthday cele-
bration Of her imperial highness Prin-
cess Mathilde was held. The first
cousin Of the king Of Rome-of
l'Aiglon-daughter of King Jerome,
and niece of the great Napoleon, has
just entered into her eighty-first year..
This remarkable woman of eighty
may be seen almost every day at the
exposition, where she walks about for
several hours, purchasing innumerable
beautiful things-which she rarely
keeps for herself, by the way. She
may also be seen by her privileged
friends in her own salon-that cele-
brated salon which for almost half a
century has been the rendezvous of
ian society, as well as the princes of
literature and art.
Formerly it was Duke d'Aumale,
Flaubert, Dumas, Rousseau, Emile
Angler, Meissonnier; today it is Sar-
dou, Bourget, Jose Maria de Heredia,
Gerome, Jules Lefebvre, Viscount de
Vogue-in a word, all the men of
genius whom nature, in addition, has
endowed with a social temperament.
What might be called the material
part of the princess salon consists of
a suite of three rooms full of admir-
able works Of art, some priceless can
vases OF Reynolds among others. The
princess occupies a divan in the first
salem. She rises as her guests come
in and extends to them the proverbial-
1y handsome hand upon which age has
traced neither a wrinkle nor a crease.
Around her is a compact little circle,
constantly renewed, in which all sub
jects are touched upon with compe-
tence, wit, but above all naturalness
and tolerance, the two characteristic
traits of the charming hostess. She
is spoken of In her immediate sur
roundings as la bonnie ~princesse, for
she is a great ~benefactress in a quiet,
transformations way.
Few people know that there exists
in Paris an important hospital bear

STRAWBERRY CULT.
GREAT CARE BESTOWED ON
THE BERRY PATCH.
Setting the Plants, wedding and Hoeing-
Berry Pickers Work Early and Late
Low Prices Discourage the Farmer,
However Ambitious.

How many persons who have q fond
ness for strawberry shortcake know
where the best berries come from or
the care that is bestowed upon a straw
berry patch? In Michigan during June
every n is picking the delicious red
fruit. The beginning Of a strawberry
patch is made in April, says the Chi
cago News.
First, the ground is put in good
shape, then about April "a the plants
are received from the nurseries, COM
ing in punches of twenty-five, each
bunch tied and labeled. Some are fer
tilted, others unfertilized, each kind
planted in long rows. Some growers
plant two rows of unfertilized to one
of fertilized, but others prefer the ra-
ito of three to one. The plants have
long, fine roots and the work of setting
them is tedious. One person takes a
spade and makes a hole while a sec
ond person sets a plant in the ground
and presses the soil around it tightly.
1t will keep two men busy two days to
set one-half an acre of strawberries.
Every four Dr. five weeks they must
be cultivated to prevent weeds from
killing out the crop. Although there
will be a few berries on the plants no
crop is expected the first year. In May
the growers begin to estimate the COM
ing yield. Some patches are loaded
with blossoms, while others will have
only a few flowers. When the first
berries begin to turn red the farmer
proudly purchases his first load of
crates, costing II cents for dry and 8
cents for green crates. The first days
picking will yield maybe two crates,
the second days ten. or perhaps eigh-
teen crates.
Every n on the farm big enough to
pick must turn out by $3.50 and work
all day, stopping long enough to eat
a hasty meal at noon. About 6 or Z
o'clock the crates are loaded into the
wagon and the trip to the big steamer

view, but more than 40 years after,
when the eyes of the nation were turn
ed upon the son, some n remem-
bered that his mother was buried on
top of the hill q short distance from
the old Lincoln cabin. Then some one
cleared away the bushes and let the
sun shine on the neglected grave. The
war came, and then the tragedy in
Ford's theater, but the bushes had
grown over the grave again, and years
went by before any one thought to re-
deem the spot from the wilderness of
underground which covered 1t. "Clem'
~Studebaker, the wagon manufacturer
of South Bead, visited the spot one
day and blushed that it should have
been neglected so many years. He
caused the briarss and brambles to be
cleared away, and then ordered a stone
to be placed at the head of the grave,
and a neat iron fence was erected
around it.
Mr.. S~tudebaker paid an occasional
visit to the grave and made provision
for keeping the immediate site in Or
der, but the surroundings were UNI
slightly, and nearly two years ago
someone wrote to President Mckinley
calling attention to the neglected spot
and suggesting that the grave of a
martyred presidents mother should
have better care. The letter was for
warded to Gov. Mount by the presi-
dent, and steps were at nee taken to
form a monument association.
Capt. John Lamar of Spencer county
is the only person now living who is
known to have been associated with
the Linco1ns during their residence in
Indiana. The captain was five years
younger than Abraham, but he has a
distinct recollection of how the future
president whitfield off the surfaces of
boards that he might have something
to figure on, and how he sat up at
night and strained his eyes before the
old fireplace in the log cabin reading
from the few books that the settle
ment afforded. and which the young
Lincoln had borrowed. When asked
about his reading by young Lamar the
future president said, 81 wouldn't give
a cent for a boy who didn't know mor
today than he did yesterday" The
Lamars and the Lit1colns lived near
each other, and the captain recalls
that he and Abraham often played to-
gether and had often slept in the same
bed.

which carries the fruit from Michigan
to Chicago is made. The warehouse
is full of buyers or commission men.
They pay so much right at the dock
or the farmers can ship and run the
chances of making a little more in Chi
cago, or often less, than the buyers
give. 1t costs the farmer IL cents a
case to ship his berries; this includes
carriage from the boat to the commits
sion house, freight on the boat and the
commission. If the farmer hires
pickers he has to pay 20 cents a case
for the work, this making 81 cents a
case. Suppose he sells them for IS
cents a case, then he is we'll paid. But
when cases sell for As and so cents, as
they often do, it is enough to discour-
age the most ambitious strawberry
grower.

rants and gooseberries will come next.

Indianapolis telegram: The arrange
ments which are now being perfected
by the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Monu-
mont Association for clearing away the
underground and identifying the site
of the grave of the mother of Abraham
Lincoln has awakened interest in a
romantic spot in Indiana, and led to
some pleasant as well as some sor-
rowful recollecticfas in connection with
Indiana. The site of Mrs. Lincoln's
grave is the top Of a steep hill a short
distance from Lincoln City, Spencer
county, and a few hundred feet from
the spot where once stood the Lincoln
cabin, a rude log structure which
Thomas Lincoln and his son Abraham
assisted by earlier emigrants, erected
in 1916. The association which has
undertaken the work Of redeeming the
site of the grave and converting the
16-acre tract which surrounds it into
a slightly park is composed of mem
bers of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, the Sons of Veterans, the Loyal
Legion and the Lincoln League, while
Gov. Mount is president.
Thomas Lincoln, his wife, Nancy
Hanks Lincoln. and his son, Abraham

and the rude domicile was soon COM

than was usual in those days, and ira
ditiOn says that they brought with
them practically nothing from their
home in Kentucky. and that their
neighbors supplied them at first with
some things that were absolutely nee
essary to bodily comfort. They had
been in their new home only a short
time when the wife and mother fell
sick, and after lingering a while died.
Her disease was probably malarial
fever. The father and son rived the
boards out of which the rude coffin was
made, and less than a half dozen per-
sons attended the burial. There was
no one present who was qualified to de-
liver a funeral discourse, and that cere-
mony was dispensed with, but several
months later, when an itinerant minis
ter came along, the father and son at
tended him to the grave, where a short
prayer was offered for the repose of
the dead and a homely lesscn drawn
from the life she had lived.
Thomas Lincoln went back to Ken
lucky some IS months later and soon
returned with another wife, ''the angel
mother" as the martyred president
was wont to call her in after years. He
had not prospered well here, and in a
few years sold his small possessions
and went to Illinois. The site of the
grave was neglected. The bramble and
the brier grew over it and hid it from

The reason this oath has to be taken
Is that at n time it was suspected
that the secret service money was be-
ing used for electioneering purposes,
and for pensioning government favor
ties.
At present most of the money is
spent by our ambassadors in foreign
countries. In order to know what kind,
of a foe she may have to meet, Great
Britain must be made acquainted with
the details of foreign armies, the power
and range of their guns, their new in.
ventions in powder, shells, torpedoes.
submarine boats and the like. The
country must also know what are the
intentions of other countries toward
her, and if antagonistic, endeavor to
thWart them.
Very valuable information of this
kind can only be obtained by bribing
an official Of a foreign nation, and the
amount which one country will spend
to get such information may be gath
cred from the fact that Great Britain
paid 5000, 900 for a copy of the treaty
of Tilsit between France and Russia.
Foreign countries spend enormozs
sums on secret service. France, Ger
many and Russia have their agents
everywhere, and there are very few
secrets of any nation which they do not
know, for it is, unfortunately, the case
that in the employment of all govern
ments there are men willing to betray
their country-for a consideration.
The sum spent by Russia on secret
service does not fall short of three
quarters of a million annually. Ger
many and France each spend close on
half a million, Italy nearly a quarter
of a million. and Austria about the
same. =
The expenditure under this head OF
smaller states. such as Belgium, Hol-
land, Denmark, Norway and Sweden,
Switzerland, Spain and Portugal liz
greater than that of England, the aver
age sum for each being about $500, 900.
Lord Salisbury the other day said that
the Transvaal spent 81, 00O, 900 a year
on secret service. This estimate is
about one-sixth of the total revenue Of
that country.
The whole amount spent in Europe,
Asia, Africa and America on secret
service cannot fall far short of $25, 000,-
900 annually, and it is not a pleasant
reflection for the honest taxpayer that
SO much of his earnings is expended in
trying to make traitors of men.-Lon-
don Mail.

What is the duration of a wink?
The time occupied by the several
phases of the movement has been
measured, and it is found that the
duration Of the descent of the lid
is from seventy-fve to ninety-one
thousandths of a second. The interval
while the eye is shut was in M case
only Observation-Disclosures of a second.
The rising of the lid occupied seven
teen-hundredths of a second. A spe-
cially arranged Photographic appar-
atus was used. The %colloGuial phrase
that something is done quicker than
a wink" is therefore expressive to a
degree that may be stated in fractions
of a second.

Expansion and contractor Of Metals.

Expansion and Contraction of Metals.
The figures given below are the CO.
eff1cients of expansion of well-known
metals. These figures represent the
amounts by which a piece of the metal
/ inch long is expanded in length on
heating it 1 degree Fab. Brass,
0.0000104 inch; aluminium, 0.0000136
inch; lead, O.0O00163 inch; tin,
O.0000124 inch; zinc, 0.0000162 inch.
From these numbers one can easily
calculate how much a piece of any
length will expand on heating it from
freezing to 100 degrees. To find the
length of a bar at any required tenn
perature, measure it's length and tenn
perature. Then find the number of
degrees it is to be heated or cooled.
Multiply the coefficient of expansion
by the number of degrees the bar is
to be heated. and this by the length
of the bar. The product is the ex-
pansion. To this add the original
length. If the bar is to be cooled,
subtract the expansion instead of add
ing it.
