the Episcopal church at Inwood, where
her voice started her on what may prove
a road to fortune.
Dr. Edward Octavus Flagg, a close
friend of Bishop Potter, had been spend
ing the summer here, and was invited to
preach the Mckinley memorial service.
He had read the first scriptural lesson,
when from the organ loft there came such
a voice of sweetness and sympathy as he
had never heard before.
Nearer, My God, to Thee" was the
solo, and before it was half finished the
entire congregation was sObbing. The aged
divine was so impressed that he could not
continue with the service for several min
utes, and then it was to offer a prayer of
praise for the inspiration received from
the heavenly voice"
After the service DR.. Flagg talked with
the singer, who was Miss Bowker, and
learned of her ambitions, and the second
day following she had sung for Mrs.
James r. Keene, Mrs. Russell Sage, Mrs.
Daniel Lord and others.
1t was decided ct once to give the girl a
musical schooling a'srCad, and to that end
she is now preparing for the trip.

SENATORIAL SECRECY.

LMOST every man of original force who
n enters the United States Senate distinguishes
n his first term by some effort to reform the
practices OF that ancient and venerable body The
efforts of course are no more successful than that
of the boy who tried to teach his grandmother to
suck eggs, but they are none the less interesting
and sometimes instructive.
Senator Clapp, the member from Minnesota
is the latest adventurer in the way Of trying to in
duce the Senate to alter its ways. He seems to be
clever man, this Senator from Minnesota for in
stead of making grave vehement argument for
the reform he wishes, he sought to bring it about
by irony and sarcasm After reading in the morn
ing papers the first days reports of what had taken
place in secret session with reference to the Hay
Paunceote treaty, Senator Capp introduced reso-
luton stating in effect that whereas the published
reports upon the question of ratification not as
full Is they ought to be, and whereas the speeches
could be fully reported taken down by short
hand. therefore further discussion of the treaty
should be in open session.
The logic of the resolution is indisputable The
fornlaity of holding executive session on such
question was hardly more than farce. There was
no reason why the session should have been secret
and that fact recognized by the Senators them
selves, who promptly gave out summary of all that
had happened So far as secrecy is concerned the
discussion of the treaty might as well have been open
from start to finish.
OF course there matters that should be
discussed in secret and the secret should be kept
Such matters, however, rare. 1t is but seldom
country has to engage in treaty whose terms
may not just as we'll be known to all the world,
and as a consequence there is not much use in hold
ing secret sessions to consider ordinary treaties
OF course Senator Clapps resolution is not going
to bring about change in the Senate proceedings
1t did not even disturb them for single day. 1t
safely referred to a committee by which it has
been put into pigeon hole or a waste basket, and
the Senate will hear of it again. In fact the
next time Senator forth to suggest inn
provement Senator Clapp himself will be among the
sages who "st on him"

UNNATURAL SELECTION.

q ONE time ago an eccentric Frenchman left by
will a considerable estate, the income of which
- was to be employed by trustees in providing
each year marriage portions for the handsomest
couples who welded in the district The object
of the testator to promote marriage and to as
sist in improving the French race by encouraging
the wedding of young people who were most likely
to produce strong and handsome children.
The eccentricity of the will, taken in connection
with the prolonged discussion concerning the alleged
weakening of the French race, led to its being re-
ce1ved with much seriousness than it deserved
One of the effects, however has been that of bring
ing to light good deal Of information concerning
the results of marriages made for the definite pur-
pose OF improving The race. 1t appears that such
marriages have been by no means successful and
that the law of natural selection which inclines men
and women to marry solely because of mutual
love for one another is much better for the race
than any system OF matchmaking that has yet been
devised by pure reason.
In letter on the subject to the London Times
Mr.. Harris, who was formerly British Consul for
Denmark, contributes from the history of that coun-
try an interesting illustration of the folly of these
improved marriages. He states that serfdom was
not abolished in Denmark until 1888 and that some
years before that date Danish soldier of fortune
returned from the East Indies and purchased large
OStdlC III Iuldnu having desire 10 improve the
race and believing he could achieve it in much the
same way that breeds Of cattle and of horses were
then being improved, he made the handsomest young
man in his parish marry the handsomest young
woman, and paired the others according to their
merits. The result was a complete failure The
Consul says the unhappness of the marriages became
proverb throughout Denmark and the folly of the
experiment is still remembered
Such marriages as may be made for the sake of
getting portions of the annual revenue from the
estate of the eccentric Frenchman may be more for
tunate than those imposed by the Danish reformer.
for they will at least be voluntary but it is safe
to say they will not go far toward improving the
race There may not be many things in which natu-
raj selection better than reasonable selection but
the choice of husband or wife seems to be one
of them

II NINA BOWKER is looked upon as
H the luckiest girl in all the Rock
aways, for in addition to the fine
dress. that milliOnaires wife gave
her so she might sing at a social function
she is to be sent next month to Europe,
where she is to be given musical edu-

spondent of the New York Herald.
Emma Bowker is still in her teens and
is considered the prettiest girl in InWoOd,
the little hamlet that for a few short
months was a part OF Greater New York.
She lives with her father, painter, in
little frame house which shelters a family
of nine. The Bowkers have not been
overblessed with this worlds goods, and,
while one brother drives an ice wagon,
the mother is not too proud to go out
scrubbing to help educate and clothe her
children.
Emma went away about a year ago to
join the Salvation Army, believing that
she would have her voice trained, but
tambourine accompaniments in the open
air were not what she had expected, and
so she returned home and settled down

FRANCO-GERMAN WARS.

Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee of
the German army recently summed up the
result of 700 years of fighting between
France and Germany. THE figures prove
to my mind not only the folly of war in
general" says Won Waldersee, "but like
wise that French and Germans are quits. y
Here is the grand total of victories and
defeats with the number of men killed
and wounded on the battle field for both
countries:
Frenchmen killed and wounded by

Number of French victories over

Number of German victories over
The Germans, on the whole, have had
five more victories than the French, and
have killed AZ, ,74O more of their antagonists
than their antagonists have killed of
them.
The five extra victories, Count Won Wal
dersee believes. may be accounted for by
the fact that the French have nearly al
ways fought single handed, while the
Germans have had from two to three al
lies.
Both nations have lost about the same
number of men in battle, but French NOR
tality has been greater owing to fevers
and eDidemics. 1t seems strange fact
that the two countries have hammered
away at each other for over seven CEN
turtles without any actual results, so far
as statistics of slaughter are concerned.
The French have gained exactly as many
fortresses as the Germans have won
sieges. Both nations have been forced to
honorable surrender an equal number of
times.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

SAGO-A., Porterville. Cal. Sage is a
variety Of starch obtained from the pith
of the stems of the sago palm. an East
Indian tree which grows in lOwIands in
all the Islands Of that part of the world
1t IS low tree with a thick trunk, OF
which the woody part is an inch or two
inches only in thickness. the whole cav
ity being filed at certain stages of it's
growth with the farinaceOus pith. This
is mixed with water, which is passed
through sieves, and the starchy matter
is allowed to settle. The water is then
run or and the flour, after being dried,
is put into little baskets made Of sagO
leaves. The produce of a tree is 75O pounds
of flour. A large quantity of sago flour
is shipped annually to the markets, where
1t is purified and fitted for use as staE6l
in calico and the other manufactures. h.
BCrneO much of the starch is granulated
and the Chinese of Malacca prepare pearl
sagO- The method of pearling and eranu-
lating sagO is not known to Europeans.
Sage not being entirely soluble in hot
water, it can therefore be used in the
making of puddings, ETC.. and in that way
forms a valuable article of food cheap,
light, nutritious and easy Of digestion.
