THE DOUBLE TRAITOR.

SI1Ce The telegram of Felix Burand

ing III the neighborheod. 1t was Il slack
time with him in his profession French
by oducat ton, child of the asphaite AM
the cOuliSSeS of Paris though of English
hloed, Herbert Peyton had drifted into
that most dangerous though most lucra-
tive al occupations-Jh2 of the spy Who
makes capital from both sides out Of his
secrets. The paSteboard Napoleon who
Ut that time ruled the deStinieS OF
France liked 10 believe that the secrets
of the world were poured into his ear.
and that he had his spies at the council
boards of the revolutionary societies Of
'ail European nations. His chief OF So
cFet police found Herbert Peyton. with
hrs accurate and extensive knowledge If
dramatic circles and his PolyglOt unscrup-
uiouSness, a tool fit for his hand. pcy-
ton had been brought up among the men
nf Is, and had enjoyed their conf
dence after they had to fee from the
rlS0r of the new empire. OF all these
men, Felix Durand had been the great
est political force. An orator, he could
fire his countrymen. and his words were
like sparks. He had also magnetic
power over men. 1t was his influence
and the fear of quick and sure dagger
that kept Peyt0n in any degree true 10
the revolutionary committee. He had
seen one of his companions lie in
the morgue, turned over on his
back, with an ugly ooZe well
ing ont Of 4 hole in his side.
Felix had taken him in to see it. and
had silently pointed. Herbert l'eyton
had not forgotten the lesson. So. though
he played Il double game, betraying as
much as he dared to the secret police
of the empire. he brought back good
GCa! more in return to the camp of the
patriots. 1t was dangerous amuse-
mcnt. and ii needed srrong and an
adroit man TO play it, and this man
was both.
He had come to The north without
definite purposes of malice. He desired
to be revenged on the woman who had
Scorned him and wounded him. Felix.
it was true. was her protector. and it
would not do openly to break with him.
But though it would he too dangerous
to modest the mother, he might be able
to show Felix cause why the same pro-
lection need not apply to the son. At
any rate, it was obviously feasible TO
strike and wound most deeply through
the lad. This had been the explanation
of his stealthy night visit to Drumquhat
which had been fooled through the wake
fulness of Rab M'Quhirr. But he saw
his way To a better plan. and he looked
to Sawny Bean to help him to carry it
out. Sawny's reputation and his sand
hole cavern seemed strong strategic po-
sitions which would make for the sue
cess of his design.

Some Of our commercial optimists in
grudgingly admitting the significance Of
United States export figures. may at
tempt 10 console themselves with the for
lorn hope that the rate Of progress they
indicate will not be maintained. Their
ideas on this point would probably be
corrected by even a superficial glance
over current United States consular adj
vices and the American technical and
trade press. If these accurately reflect
the spirit Of American manufacturers
Of which there can hardly be a question,
they show that the recent successful in
dustrial competition Of America in Eu-
rope has merely had the effect Of stimu-
lating American manufacturers to fur

THE IRELAND OF TODAY.
More Prosperous than Formerly, but
Home Rule il Still the issue.

Right Honorable James Bryce. care
ful observer. and Seumas MaeManus,
the Irish writer. agree that Ireland to-
day is enjoying comparative prosperity.
The people are living better. their food is
of Il higher grade. the bank deposits have
increased. the farm rents are lower and
the returns from work are larger The
main reason why il does not take its
place as one of the rich countries Of the
world IS its lack of manufacturing. 1t
exists mainly on its agriculture and its
fisheries.
Ireland contains 32337 square miles,
not including the 1876 little islands which
add 24G square miles to the total. II is
not quite 50 large as Indiana and is lit
tie larger than South Carolina. The
Philippine islands are four times the size
Of ali Ireland. Less than five years ago
commission appointed by Parliament
reported that there had been placed upon
Ireland a taxation burden which il was
unable to bear. and that something

in Great Britain. The vote p0lled in
Ireland was the largest for many years

HYSTERICAL GIRLHOOD.
THe Mother should Remember That the Daughter Is Not Always
 Child.

Parents are apt to lose the sense of proportion between themselves and their children. They are made to keep pace with the growth of ideas and feelings, and thinking once a child always child, there comes a clash. The paramount will of the parent exercised for the good and ad- vaneement of the child. when the child could have no will of his own, must gradually adjust itself to the growing will of the child, which should be developed and guided into the right manner of exercise of rea- son and equity. Unless this is done the child's nature becomes warped, and the whole beautiful relationship of parent and child is thrown out of gear.
 The mother, says Dr. Grace Peck ham Murray, in Harper's Bazar, domi- mates over the daughter after she has grown up. It is her great affection for her that causes her to sacrifice her child's Individuality. She would think for her, act for her. yea, breathe for her if she could. Mingled with this is kind of jealousy not sus- pected, and the last thing to. be ac- knowledged. Under this loving tyr amy the daughter becomes nervous, hysterical, sick and dropping. In spite of the redoubled care of the mother the daughter grows worse.
 The family physician must act if fate does not otherwise cause. the sep aration, and see that the girl is trans- planted into another environment. Freed from her mothers too vigilant care. her Individuality has an oppor- tunity to develop, her mind acts, and in this freedom her bodily equilibrium is restored and maintained.

Iherc Is no evidence that any strong native pro-American element has any ex- istepce whatever. As the result of two years of wasting war we occupy about one-five-hundredth part of that archipeI- ago. No district is really pacified.' We hold the ground our troops stand on, prac- tically nothing more
 During the campaign of 1900 1t was a favorite accusation against the opponents of the administra ton policy that they were keeping alive smoldering rebellion in the Philippines. The newspapers and mag azines mace much of this foolish argument. and in many pulpit where the gospel of the bullet has supplanted the Christianity or the Bible, the pious anathema of prudent priesthood rose to Heaven on the wings Of prayer"
 Mir Towne then declared that after the elections the resistance in the Philippines increased and that it had been announced in the senate within week that 30000 American soldiers would be needed in the islands for an indefinite period.
 Policy of mn Empire.
 It was habit of the defenders of the administration policy to sheer at the term imperialism" he said, but 1t could not be sneered away.
 You can have imperialism without an emperor, just as the Romans found that they could have a more than royal mas ter, though he did rot wear the hated name of king" asserted MT. Towne.
 The retention of the Philippines will commit us to the whole programme of em- pire. l do not wish to convey the impress sion that in my opinion the present policy will at one fell swoop convert this repub lie into an empire in fact. But I do say the seeds of empire turk in this policy, and that time and favoring environment will and must bring them to their flower and fruit unlgss we make reasonable proven ton.
 God speed the day when the American people, whose annals blaze with records of unequaled heroism and who again and al- ways. if some great cause demand it, would freely pay with life itself the price of its defense, shall have the moral courage to do their civic duty-a rarer thing than to face undaunted the cannon's mouth-and With their sovereign voice declare that this unholy war for greed and empire shall be stopped, and that no soldier of the United States shall ever again in all our history be sent to other lands to war on people fight ing for their liberty"

CARE OF THE PLATE.
Follow These Rules If You Wish Your Silverware to Look
 Bright and New

If plate that is in general use is thoroughly we'll washed every day there is no necessity to use plate powder oftener than once week. Soiled plate, when brought from ta- ble, should be washed in bowl of very hot water in which a little bit of soda or some soap has been melted.
 When all the grease has been re- moved dip the articles into a second bowl of clean hot water, remove them, dry them with a soft cloth and rub them with chamois leather before put ting them away.
 The drawer in which everyday plate is kept should be lined at the bot tom with green baize. cut large enough to fold over the plate when it is laid on the baize, says the Philadelphia Press. Plate should De put away care fully and neatly, all the large forks together and all the small ones to- gether, and so on.
 Plate powder gives greater bril- liance if mixed with a little methy- lated or other spirit instead of water.
 In the case of fiuted silver, clean it with a stiffer brush than is used for plain silver-which is easily scratched.
 No spirit should be used with the powder when plated rims of polished wood salad bowls or ice pails are be- ing cleaned. as the spirit might destroy the beauty of the wnoa.

AN ATTORNEYS SARCASM.
ae Easily NuliiHed the Judgment oe nm Expert" While OF the
 Witness stand

One of the older members of the bar tells this anecdote of the late Severn Teackle Wallis, as Illustrating the clev- erness and sarcasm Of Mr. Wallis, says the Baltimore Sun.
 Mr. Wallis was defending the will of wealthy testator, and, as the lawyers say, when the estate is large lawyer will wrestle with will with a will" prominent physician was called to testify for those contesting the will. The doctor became restless under the lengthy and exhaustive cross-examina- tiou of Mir. Wallis, and finally he petu- lantly exclaimed:
 "Oh. MT. Wallis, I believe the tes- tator was insane?'
 MT. Wallis kept his temper, and said, quietly: Doctor, you are the first person who has ever intimated in or out of court that the testato was insane. Why do you say he was in- sane?"
 "I believe" the doctor replied, that every man is more. or less. insane on some subject"
 "ls it your deliberate, professional opinion" Mir. Wallis then asked, "ex- pressed here in court under oath. that every man is more or less insane on some subject?'
 "Yes, s,"~the doctor replied. "I will say here under oath that from .my reading, Knowledge and experience. I believe that every man is more or less insane on some one subject
 Then Mir. Wallis said, in that firm tone of sarcasm for which he was noted: Doctor, has it ever occurred to you that you are insane on the sub- ject of insanity?"
 Immediately the doctor fired up and exclaimed: But, MT. Wallis, I am not insane"
 MT. Wallis arose and said: Doctor, according to your own sworn theory, you must be insane on some subject. pronounce you insane on the subject of insanity"
 Court, jury and spectators laughed aloud and nothing more was said about the testator being insane.

tive Samuel w. T. Lanham, of Texas,
taking advantage of the latitude al
lowed in general debate on appropria-

ed speech on democratic harmony

Lanham while paying a high tribute
to w. j. Bryan left him out of the

impartial but sincere praise for the
manner in which they aided the DEM
