capitalist. 1t is true that the amount
produced falling to capital is from the
nature Of things larger in proportion to
the amount falling to labor in times when
the capital is large than when it is smaller.
But it does not necessarily follow that
labor's share is less when capital is
greatest because the opposite of that
proposition is usually true. 1t is also
true that as capital increases the rate of
profit decreases. This naturally brings
an active and close competition of capt.
tai with capital, then "when rogueS fall
out honest men get their rights" Com
petition of capital with capital is sharper
and closer than competition of labor
with capital OF labor with labor; and it
is surely coming just as sure as the
eternal forces and movements of nature
counteract and control each other There
may be danger ahead but if there is it
will be in the creation of period of
extravaganza made prodigate by over
whelming abundance to be succeeded by
period of want. But whatever may
betide, the capitalist who soonest ceases
to exercise the tyranny of capital mod
crates his ardor, justly compromises
with labor and husbands his accumua-
tions, and the laborer who takes advan-
tage of the time and gets the most out
of the overflow of the present abundance
by quiet, peaceful, persistent watchful-
ness and industry will be the surest win
ners.

Tempting the Appetite.


1t is an art to serve food on a tray. and
an artistic arrangement OF food is just as
easy to accomplish as a jumbled mess
Individual tea and coffee pots are within
the reach of the majority of housewives.
Serve cream in a small pitcher. Heat the
teapot before straining tea into il and
place a lump of sugar beside tea cup and
saucer. The food should be arranged 80 as
to admit OF a single rose or other blossom
being laid at one side. During the heated
season g tray service on the veranda will
tempt the appetites of the family. During
the heated days Of July ofttimes one menu
Der OF the family finds his or her appetite
waning; nothing appeals to the appetite
and the, whole table service seems wrong.
For this person an attractive and novel
change will be found In serving q light
luncheon on a tray In some cool. shaded
corner OF the lawn or on the veranda. This
tray meal should never be elaborate. just
a dainty appetizer. Exceedingly nice Is a
dish of cold cereal nodded in a circle, In
the center OF which Is placed fresh clean
fruits. either cherries, plums or berries
These should be chilled, but never to such
q degree as to ruin their delicate flavor
Individual coffee and tea pots are 30 mod

the most moderate purse. The cheapest

they appeal to the most artistic taste

but absolutely boiling water: then cover

A hostess need not wholly depend on
the caterer for attractive devices In the

Is no prettier or more artistic way OF serv-

The making Of the paper shell is a very
simple matter. Select a thin-edged drink

and mold the shell over the top. This
Is very easily done by having a round piece
OF thick cardboard the size OF the opening.
putting the palm of the hand over the
glass and pressing the cardboard down

III Is a good plan to have several drinking

SICK ROOM ETIQUETTE.
How to Act When Calling On Con-
valescents.

VQIeSCenta.
From the Ledger Monthly.
When calling a convalescent wear
some simple gown, not black. and a hat
without plumes. Avoid jewelry or purse
or ornament of any kind that jingles. Leave
your furs and umbrella In some other room,
and. if the day is cold, be careful to re-
main outside the sick room until the tenn
perature Of the house has modified the chill
of the open air still clinging to ones dress
after first coming indoors. This touch Of
cold is very trying. especially to a neural
gic patient. who is painfully sensitive to
any slight change of atmosphere. Never
sit on the bed. but choose a straight chair
and place it at a convenient angle for the
patient to see without strain. Choose
pleasant friendly subjects for talk. Some
times the sick one will suggest what she
wants to hear about after her long separa-
ton from the world. 1t is always safe to
wait for such a lead. that is. If CONVERSE
ton is permitted. If the case Is still OF
such a character as to forbid this. 1t will
be wise to restrict topics to imperSonal
subjects. Do not speak of a wonderful ap-
pearance of health after such an attack.
because in the first stages one does not
like to come out of such an ordeal looking
robust, or even fairly wen. 1t is better to
modify expressions of congratulation to a
few well-chosen hints as to the recovery.
Whatever happens never contradict a pa
tient Remember she is unreasonable. the
real woman Is not present. and visitor can
afford to bide her time for final settle
ment until they both stand on equal
grounds.
The last and most important reserve is
never to ask about the appetite and things
to eat unless the nurse has first been con-
suited. The bare hint of a dainty will
arouse a craving that two or three days
acute misery will follow the denial to graf
ify it because Of the danger. Illness leaves
every one childish and feeble, and 1t is
merciless to excite a mind already drained
by disease for lack Of a little precaution.
First see the nurse, then go ahead. II
these few practical suggestions are OBJ
served and the visit is restricted to twenty
minutes Duration at the longest. a cheer
full caller will be welcome to both nurse and
convaIescent and the occasion will be a
comfort and a distraction from the fntol-
cradle routine of a sick room that Is so
f1ercely resented with the first dawn of
health and possible return to the accus-
toned place in the world.

BIG LIZARD WAKES UP.
Comes Out of a Two Months sleep
and Makes Things Lively.

@Nu
From the Phiadelphia Press.
The reptile house at the Zoo. usually the
quietest and sleepiest place in the gardens.
where The huge anacondas and lazy-limb-
ed batrachians slumber away their days
in an atmosphere of unruffied lethargy. was
suddenly thrown into a state OF violent
excitement yesterday morning.
The cause of the trouble was an at
tack upon his keeper by the Egyptian mont
tor. the largest lizard in the world. The
reptile is five feet long and colored a
dingy brown. His coat is rough and scaly
and his claws and teeth give him fierce
appearance He arrived at the Zoo one
very cold day last March in a half-frozen
condition and until a few days ago re-
manned In semi-comatose state
The keepers had begun to despair OF
arousing him from his prolonged lethargy
until the eXpedient occurred to them Of
procuring mate for the sleeping mons
ter. A female was accordingly brought
from Africa last week and placed In the
cage with him. Next morning the keep
er was astonished to find the rocky floor
of the Gen all torn up and the dirt beneath
heaped in great piles against the sides OF
the cage. The two lizards were sleeping
innocently side by side In the corner and
the keeper did not disturb them. The same
activity went on every night for week.
and ii soon became plain that the monitor
was building a house for himself and his
new wife.
Tuesday night the house was completed.
and when the keeper visited the cage yes
terday morning the female monitor was
tucked away snugly out of sight inside 1t.
Her husband was curled up over the en-
trance to the cave. guarding it
Keeper Hess thought nothing Of the mat
ter until he entered the cage to feed the
monitor: and then began fight which
ended In the keeper being driven through
the doorway and narrowly escaping with
whole skin. The food which Hess took
into the cage was thrown In all directions
and the reptile remained In a violent state
all day.

SPANISH TABOOED,
Reason for Strange Order on the
Transport Sheridan.

Reason for n Strange Order on the
Transport Sheridan.
From the Honolulu Advertiser.
On the promenade deck Of the great
army transport Sheridan. now in port from
San Francisco. en- route to the Philippines,
there appears, in a conspicuous place, a
large sign to the effect that no speaking in
Spanish will be allowed on that deck, by
order of the commanding officer of the
transport"
To the casual visitor this would appear al
somewhat strange, and many were the
questions asked yesterday by people whose
business or pleasure took them aboard the
Sheridan. At first they thought it was a
joke. but the officers Of the vessel assured
then: that. far from being an attempt on
the part Of any one aboard to be funny, it
was a genuine order which had been issued
by the officer in command of the transport
Captain Pierce, after the ship had left the
Golden Gate couple Of days behind. There
was no need of the order during the first
two days Of the trip. for then nearly every
one was seasick and did not feel very much
inclined to speak in English, much less
Spanish.
The strange sign is explained when one
realizes that there are about a hundred men
and women teachers the Sheridan on
their way to teach school in the Philippines
These teachers are naturally anxious to
study Spanish and those of them who
know a little Of that language are brushing
up as rapidly as possible.
After the first two days at sea, when
everybody had recovered from NAL de mer
the trouble commenced. The would-be
Spanish speakers grouped themselves
around the upper deck and opened their
books and studied aloud. much after the
manner OF Chinese children in their native
land
They read Spanish novels aloud to each
other recited rules of grammar, always
being particular to speak loud, SO that they
would have the benefit Of getting their
words. People who sat around and who
were not teachers were very much ANNOYED
They could not read or hear themselves
think.
After night fell and the books were put
away the ambitious teachers held converse
lions with each other In the language of
Spain, and this beneath the cabin windows
of people who wantedto go to sleep.
When some of the young lady teachers
were discovered making love in the moon
light, billing and cooling in the Spanish
tongue and when, finally, one young man
was caught in the actSof reciting a poem al
his own manufacture. created in Spanish
from the upper deck, TO the unoffendng sol
diers on the main deck. the commanding
officer, to whose ears various complaints
strange sign up. HE declared that he would
have no Spanishan his,
Ever since tAen The Spanish scholars
were compelled. TO go in the freight room
or the refrigerator when they wished to
spout Spanish, and the lovers went bacs
to the old reliable American language and
got along a CREST deal better.
