ture' from the evolutionary standpoint. In
contrasting German literature with the French
he says:
German literature in its highest national de-

importance and this explains its mission in the
economy OF European letters. And Just as the
historian Of French literature must keep con-
stantly in view the social background or AZ
Enghsh literary history must take account of
the national enterprise and independence of the
Anglo-SaNon race. so German literature must
be regarded pre-eminently as the literature az

BAD WEATHER IN DEcATuRs
Sidewalks Were Covered With 6
 Coating of Ice.


 New Decatur. Jan. 2s.--(Special. .)-Hon. IT. A. Skeggs, mayor of Decatur, issued a proclamation calling upon all the citi- zens of this town to observe today as Mckinley Memorial Day. Appropriate services were held. The visit of Presi- dent Mckinley, to Decatur. last sum- mer was tenderly remembered.
 Yesterday this section was visited by the most disagreeable weather of the winter. Rain fell all day and froze as fast as it fell. The sidewalks were covered with ice and many painful falls resulted.
 Today Is much warmer with a light rain falling. The Tennessee River is rising slowly, though heavy rise is not loked for.
 The city of Decatur has completed it's real estate assessments to pay for the $3O.000 sewerage system recently built Nearly all the property owners have paid taxes, though about five contests have been filed and will be heard at a later date.
 This is one of the most complete sewer systems in the South and has already added greatly to the value of Decatur S real estate.
 Several boys of the Decaturs were ar- rested yesterday on warrants sworn out charging them with playing at dice.

 New York, Jan. S9.-A Washington special to The Brooklyn Eagle says:
 It will be interesting to know exactly what President Roosevelt thinks of the corded Rear Admiral Schley during his Western trip. Public Araen in Washing lon are commenting freely upon it. Sen ator Foraker of Ohio. said today:
 The magnificent ovation that has been given Admiral Sehley in Chicago, aud. in fact, Throughout his entire western tour does not surprise me' at all. The American people are for fair play all the , time. They believe that Schley has not been given fair play and they are simply showing their ;dfsapprobation of the con- duct f.-the Navy Department and the enemies of the hero of Santiago. The time has come for the President to act, and the sooner he does 1t the better, in my judgment Every hour he delays in doing justice to Schley is making Repub- lIcan votes for the Admiral. Schley fought the battle and won it, and this is all the American people care to know"
 These views of the distinguished Sem ator from Ohio. are we'll known to the President. During the past few weeks President Roosevelt has been advised by a number of prominent men, who, like him. would be pleased to see his admin iatratlon q success, to do justice to Schley. These men have talked very plainly to him. They hRvc told him that the Navy DGpartment> and the Bureau of Naviga- ton ring have made a sad mess out of the whoie business that they have brought the administration and the Re publican party into disrepute, and that tne sooner he takes firm and vigorors action in the way of CounteractinR their stuoid and bungling conduct the better.

WAR TAX ON TEA.
Merry War Between Opposing Fac

-tions in the Trade.
 New York. Jan. 29.--A special from Washington to The Brooklyn Eagle says:
 A merry war is going on between mer' chants engaged in the tea business: There are two factions. one in favor or abolishing the present war duty or io cents a pound, and the other in favor or continuing that duty. Each sioe IS thoroughly organized, and is working hard to convince Congress that its posi- ton Is the correct and just one. It is charged by those who do not want the duty abolished that the important charge of 10 cents a pound Is just enough to keep out all spurious and poisonous teas. while 1t Is not heavy enough to make any material difference to the consumer. This is vigorously denied by the National Tea Duty Repeal Association. This organiza- tion has informed the Ways and Means Committee that the tea inspection law, and not the war tax of 10 cents pound, protects the public against the importa- tion of impure tea.
 The inspection law" said a prominent petition just submitted by the Duty ly carried out, and 1t shuts out not only impure tea, but also the trashy grades of this commodity. On the other hand, the war tax. owing to its exclusive amount of 80 per cent, has destroyed business in the better grades of tea, and is rapidly confining the whole business to the lower grades thereby atone blow ruining the profits of the business and depriving the consumer of the best teas. All of the customers and over 98 per cent of the wholesale grocers and in- porters of tea favor the removal of the tea tax"

THE ESQUIMO

The Esquimo eats blubber. The lumbermen eat pork. These people are constantly exposed to cold and physical strain. Experience has taught them that fatty foods give warmth and nourishment.
 For those who have cold and thin bodies, or are threat ened with consumption or any wasting disease, there is no fat in so digestible and palatable a form as Scott's Emulsion. Physicians prescribe it.

Care Of the watch.

Always wind up a watch as nearly as
possible at the same time every day
and do it as smoothly as possible to
avoid sudden jerks. Most watches are
now made keyless, but if key has to
be used it should be kept perfectly
clean and free from grit or fue, says an
exchange. If a watch is hung up it
must have some support at the back
and if laid horizontally it is well to
place some soft substance under it for
more general support, otherwise the
action of the balance will cause q pen
dulous motion of the watch and cause
much variation in time The watch
pocket must be kept as free from dust
and nap as possible.

COSTLY INDIAN BASKETS.
In Such Demand That squaws Get Orders
for Life to Make Them.


for Life TO Make Them.
There has been of late an extraordi-
nary boom" in Indian baskets, for the
collecting of which a fad has sprung
up. Some specimens have been sold
for more than $1,000 apiece-baskets
made by certain tribes in Nevada, Ari-
iona and New Mexico being chiefly in
demand-and spectators are actually
buying up expert workers at unheard
of rates, and contracting for their SER
vices for life. In this way one sQuaw
at Carson City has disposed of her en-
tire future output in return for a
guarantee of maintenance for herself
and husband in easy circumstances so
long as they may live. Meanwhile she
is to do nothing but make baskets for
one concern.
To persons uninstructed in such mat
ters the prices asked and paid for the
baskets are amazing. A specimen
worth $1,000 in the present state of the
market does not look as if it had a
value Of that many cents. But if peo-
pie will indulge in the luxury of fad,
it is reasonable that they should pay
accordingly.
1t is true that these baskets are often
very beautifully made, and the skill
shown in the weaving of them is re-
markable. Quality and prices are de-
termined mainly by the fineness of tex
ture and the character of the design.
EXclusiveness of design is also impor-
tant. If a particular squaw has a pat
tern of her own, not successfully or
commonly initiated by others, it counts
for good deal, one OF her baskets pos
sessing the same sort of value as a rare
| postage stamp.
The fad is useful inasmuch as it
gives profitable employment to many
poor persons. In the finer grade of
baskets the maidenhair fern furnishes
material for the black design on white.
Another plant used is the devil 5
claw" plentiful in Arizona, the stem
of it serving the basket makers pur-
pose. Willow and 'squaw root are
utilized largely for the coarser parts
of the white baskets.
The Indians of the southwest know
how to make baskets that will hold
water, and in the deserts of that part
of the country the aborigines use such
materials in the manufacture of water
bottles, which are so shaped that their
contents cannot be spilled In. the des-
ert water is life; when it is gone the
traveller dies. Hence every precautior
must be taken against losing it, anC
the non-spilling receptacle for liquid
refreshment is a utensil of the highest
practical usefulness.-Philadelphis

Every boy at some time or other of

Did our young readers ever see such
a collection, or think of IT, or that
there Is a connection between birds

1t Is interesting to study the two to-
gether? One learns from them a good
deal about elementary anatomy. In
many museums collections of birds
skeletons lie beside the eggs.
A deal box, vanished. and about Is
by Is inches and six inches deep, is a
very suitable size. and will hold at
least 100 eggs and as many wishbones.
il must be fitted with a glass, sloping
downward from the back, so as to give
greater depth for the larger eggs. The
eggs may be arranged in rows, marked
out by wooden partitions, with trays
one above the other. If the coliec-
ton grows to any size a mahogany
cabinet may be provided; and if such
a case, with its ivory white wishbones
or skulls and eggs, Systematically and
neatly arranged, each with its apper-
tanning eggs, were sent to the county
fair, it would certainly carry off a pre-
mium.-New York News
