CURRENT COMMENT.
THE PARDON OF STAIN AND
CROMWELL.
(Boston Transcript

The pardon OF David l.. Stain and
Oliver Cromwell by the governor Of
Maine, upon tine recommendation OF the
executive council, 10 an act which will
meet with universal approval. IL is not
an act OF mercy, but an act OF justice
| long delayed. The ground otkpardon Is
that these men wera not guilty or the
twslve years they have been undergoing

4 reasurer barron OF the savings bank at
Dexter, HE n tragedy that made sem
ration all over New England at the time
Of its occurrence. These two men were
convicted largely upon evidence which
the giver of 1t now declares was false,
and though the stigma OF penal expert
enoe Is apt to follow even innocent men
the impression now most prevalent is that
the men who eater the new century Tree
are at the sa ne time guiltless. If that
be true, and under the circumstances 1t
would be ungracious to question 1t, So
ciety owes not only sympathy but repair
alton; and the State, in addition to par
don, owes the rehabilitation, so far as
possible, in both character and fortune
1t is a terrible thing to be deprived of
what men most cherish during the twelve
best years Of Hfe; to be dead to the world
to be Stunned hy their fellow men, to be
rememb ered only as moral monsters, to
know that only sigh or reltef VIII fol-

bIamsd. Its sentence WAS doubtless Just,
anuording to the evidence befoIe it. But
the result shows that we cannot rely upon
the infanibilty of evidence. Fortunately,
In this case, thess men were not beyond

THE CHINESE TREATY.
(Boston Adyertiser.)
How is the treaty with China likely
to affect the work of the missionariesf
IL might be easier to answer that ques-
ton II the allied army In China had been
satisfied with putting down the rebellion
and resouing the foreigners. The deter
mination to teach the Chinese lesson
Is putting q new phase on the situation.
The army under Won WaldsrseaTs COM
mand is decreasing the population of
the Chinese empire daily; but IL Is not
helping the future work or the mission
aries. The German general, in his latest
despatch TO Berlin, says that the Amer
lean troops are helping on this work of
repression. 1t seems hard TO believe
this, in view OF the many utterances of
the State Department on that point dur
ing the past three months. Still, II Won
Waldersea Is telling the truth, how much
work do the American missionaries think
they can carry out successfully, SO long
as the memory Of these massaorss remain
with the Chinese?

chincoe Expected Disaster This Year.

Though protesting to know nothing
beyond the domain OF sense, the China
man is really an extravagant in the
supernatural, writes Sir Robert Hart in
the Cosmopolitan Times and seasons,
too, have their meanings for him. In
1893 the eclipse OF the sun on the Chi
nese New Years Day foreboded calam-
ity, especially to the empire, and in Sep
tember that year the empress dowager
usurped the government; then, as chance
would have it, this year, 1000, is one in
which the intercalary month for the
Chinese year is the eighth, and an eighth
intercalary month always means mis-
fortune. When such a month last oc-
CURED, that year the Emperor Turg
Chih died, and accordingly the popular
mind was on the outlook ior catastrophe
in 1000, and perhaps the people were
morbidly willing to assist folklore to
fulfill its own prophecy.

Saving Steps in the Kitchen.

1t is no wonder that the old-fash-
ioned house-keeper was generally
person old before her time. and worn
with the mere details of household
drudgery, that is. IL she attended to
the real details of housework, as she
often did. Large roomy kitchens are
pleasant and they used to be the rule.
But even so slight a course of reason
ing will show how much time and
energy were wasted in those same
kitchens Just because of the many
steps they necessitated, to say moth
ing Of the energy required in keeping
them clean. The wise housekeeper
nowadays knows that it is the saw
ing of steps back and forth across
the kitchen floor that she can save
her own strength. Salt and pepper,
for instance, should always be at hand
when one is preparing any dish on the
stove, and therefore a little shelf
should find place on the wall near the
stove, on which may repose a dish of
salt and a pepper box. Kitchen
utensils should always be placed
where they may be reached with the
least trouble when they are wanted.
If you are likely to want the same
seasoning at the cook table that you
need when at the stove, it is a simple
matter to have an extra set even in
the same room.

Nothing Wasted in Paris.

A duty OF primary Importance is dis
charged by the ragpickers OF Paris.
Working at night, busy under the gas
light with hoop and pannicr, the value
OF what they collect is estimated at
$4,000 day. Assuredly one-half OF
the world does not know how the other
half lives, says a Paris correspondent.
OF course, the conditions OF Paris life
are exceptional The population is
very closely packed; the tall houses are
crammed with inhabitants, there are no
gardens, as with us-there are but the
houses and the streets.
The Parisians have way OF cmptying
all kinds of lumber and refuse into the
streets, and then the ragpickers gather
in their harvest A use is found for
everything, and metamorphosis never
cease. Rags go to make paper; broken
glass is pounded, and serves as the coat
ing for sand or emery paper; bones,
after a process OF cleaning and cutting
down, serve to make nail brushes, tooth
brushes and fancy buttons; little wisps
of women's hair are carefully unravelcd
and do duty for false hair by and by.
Mems hair, collected outside the bar
bers shops, serves for filters; bits Of
sponge are cut tip and used for spirit
lamps; bits of bread are carbonized and
made into tooth powder; sardine boxes

Makes Hair
Grow

Perhaps your mother had
thin hair, but that is no reason
why you must go through life
with half-starved hair. If you
want long, thick hair, feed it.
Feedi it with Ayers Hair Vigor,
the only genuine hair food you
can buy.
Your hair will grow thick
and long, and will be soft and
glossy.
Ayers Hair Vigor always
restores color to gray hair; it

In England and Ireland, where tea
brewing is an art, the cosey is con-
sidered of as great Importance as the
pot itself, and brides are sure to re-
ceive one or more in handsomely en-
broidered cloths, silk or velvets among
their wedding gifts. But in this coun-
try, where the beverage is held in less
esteem, the families who appreciate
the cosey's use are few. Aside from
its pretty appearance, the cosey is a
practical adjuct to the tea table, i'm.
prisoning as it does the aroma of the
brew and keeps the pot and it's con-
tents at high temperature.
The fashions in the shape, texture
and decoration of coseys are divers,
but the one which will fit the greatest
number of pots is made in two sections.
Each piece is a perfect semicircle,
and the two are stitched together
along the rounding edge. A style

cloth, embroidered all over in japan

be of pale rose and sage green, and

harmonize with the general colorings
