A biography Of Marshal Canrobert
has been published recently in Paris
Not the least interesting part of the
work is that which refers to the ex.
traordinary popular demonstrations
that marked the state visit of the late
Queen Victoria to the French capital.
When the English sovereign. with her
consort and heir, went to the Invalides
to look upon the tomb of Napoleon
the scene was one which seems to have
greatly impressed the Marshal, who
thus describes 1t:
Everybody was profoundly moved,
Not word was spoken. Each person
stood gazing at the coffin and was lost
in thought. Prince Albert was in front
Of me in the red uniform of n field
marshal; at his side stood the queen
and standing beside her was the Prince
of Wales, dressed In his Highland
costume, with his velvet coat, his
purse Of fur. and the kilt; at the right
was Princess Mathilde, whose fea
lures, so pure. standing out in the
light of torches, re1lled too vividly
the features of her uncle. After a
moments pause Of reflection, of alb
solute silence, the queen with an ex
preston on her face of severity, calm
ness and meditation, turned to the
Prince of Wales, and. placing hel
hands on his shoulders, said: &c
down on your knees before the toni
of the great Napoleon 1t was a fine
exhibition Of keen political tact, as
well us of fine human feeling on the
part of the queen"

cial rights, revolt against unlimited ty-
ranny on the part Of rulers, 1t does not
discriminate between such governments
and those in which the people themselves
make and execute their laws and enjoy
the fullest measure of liberty.
Its aim is not to correct the evils Of
government, but to destroy all govern
ment. 1t would not only reform abuses.
but would do away with the virtues and
benefits of all good government and So
ciety. 1t would bring social chaos upon
the world and would reduce human So
ciety to condition where mere brute
force would reign triumphant.
No country in the world is more seri-
ously interested in this subject than our
own, for no country has more to lose and
none has less occasion for social uphcaval
than ours. Thus far anarchy has OBJ
tanned but little foothold here: but with
the almost unlimited license to speak and
print which we have taught ourselves to
believe is the constitutional right Of every
citizen. we are furnishing fertile soil
in which this deadly plant may take root
and grow and bear its fruit.
Anarchy should be stamped out rs we
would stamp out yellow fever or the
plague; it should be crushed as we crush
the head of dangerous reptile, and no
Executive need fear to enforce with strin-
gency laws which may be passed, because
he will have behind him and supporting
him the practically unanimous sentiment
of the country.

When summer began this year Pope
Leo, according to custom, left his
apartments in the vatican and went to
the quaint old building which is known
as LEO the Fourth's Tower" and
which has long been favorite summer
residence of the successors Of st. Peter.
This tower was constructed in the
fifteenth century and is situated on

Grim and unattractive is its massive
exterior, but once inside the portals,
the pope finds himself in a most de.
lightful home. The rooms are large
and are furnished comfortably though
plainly, and from many of the windows
there is an extensive view, which can
not fail to please true poet like Pope
Leo. Furthermore, the ar here Is cool

creased since. The miners feeling their
condition keenly, presented to the EN-.
ployers the following demand: An in.
crease in wages Of 10 per cent. A ton of
coal to consist OF 2,240 pounds. The ap-
pointment Of man by the miners to
witness the weighing OF the coal.
The miners acted not only in concili-
atory spirit, but were willing to submit
the case to arbitration. This the COM
panies rejected. The questions in dis.
pute are matters of fact, not Of princl-
pie; hence there can be no good reason
why the companies should reject arbitra-
ton. Two months elapsed between the
formulation of the demands and the in
auguration of the strike.
When 1t is borne in mind that the an
thracite coal region is limited In the pos
session of hard coal, that there is always
demand for that product and. further,
that these mine operators and the rail-
roads are one and the same persons. con-
trolling the entire output Us we'll as the
price for which coal is sold, it is not diff
cult to see that there is some other mo-
tive than the one advanced behind the
refusal to grant the miners reasonable
requests.
The conditions by which the miners
have been surrounded, the misery which
was their lot, must never again be posi-.
BILE. They have moved upward and on
ward in the social and industrial scale.

tariff Revision Must Come.


The tariff will not down. No matter
how hard the Republican leaders try
to keep 1t down, the tariff continues to
force Its way to the top. The official
Republican campaign textbook, by ig-
noring the tariff in effect, issues orders
to the party's orators and editors to
keep silent on the subject Neverthe-
less there is an unmistakable demand
among the Republicans of the Middle
West for tariff legislation. The Iowa
Platforms declaration in favor Of such
remodeling of the schedules rs shall de-
prive monopoly of protectors shelter
is significant response to this de-
mand.

strOys their good looks, says the
Lady's Pictorial. With this very q,les-
ton Max O'Rell also deals in his latest
book, and 1t encourages the hope that
woman may retain her youthful APP
pearance longer, and thus gain anoth-
er point giving her further equality
with man, to find that both the scien-
tiac and philosophic writer's agree on
the point that careful attention to the
personal appearance and the temper
may do much to preserve youth and
beauty. Max O'Rell bluntly says that
discreet and judiclous coquetry will
keep a woman absolutely beautiful and
young till so. After that we must mer.
clfully draw the veil. Our scientific
mentor sobcrly advises plenty of open
air exercise, careful attention to the
toilette and diet and the cultivation OF
amiability. a sense of humor large
ly helps the retention of youth, and
might have saved Faust Il lot of trouble
had he possessed 1t. But, unhappily
amiability and sense of humor are
alike difficult to cultivate; indeed, they
are wholly beyond the reach of Iarg,
majority; on the whole, therefore, 1t is
safer to rely OIL attention to personal
appearance. Nowadays it is made SC

this was not used in the large cities,
but in the towns and villages, where
structures are Of wood. In no country
is so much paint made as in the United
States Of America, and the bulk of that
paint is composed of lead, zinc, and
llnseed oil, and only the darker shades
are made Of oxides Of iron and other
pigments. Many manufacturers use a
small quantity of water In their mix
lures, and when the quantity Of
water is not over 2 per cent, 1t
cannot be regarded as an adulterant.
The water used is usually slightly al.
kaline, and in the case of lime water It
forms calcium soap with linseed
oil and thlckens the paint, SO that it
never settles hard in the tin and is
easily stirred.

is early set to the hard grindstone

expedition was successful. Stony
Point, all the Notifications Of which
were not quite completed, was aban-
doned by the Americans, and YER
planck's Point was taken. Embolden-

other expeditions. One Of these, COM

sisting of $500 men, was sent to plum

Tryon plundercd New Haven, burned
Fairfield and Norwalk and committed
other outrages at Sag Harbor, on
Long Island. In the course Of Il few
days the unsparing wretch burned $50
dwelling houses. five churches and 125

tants were cruelty murdered and a
number of women were subjected to

The outrages greatly inilamcd the
Americans and stirred them to greater

was one keenly felt and it was re-
solved to recapture tile place. now

The undertaking was desperate one,
as the fort could only be taken by sur

leader Washington fixed upon General
Anthony Wayne.
The latter readily consented to lead
the attacking force and determined to
make the attempt at midnight. In or.
der to guard against betrayal of his
movement every dog in the vicinity
was put to death. A negro fruit seller
was found who knew the fort well and
he agreed to pilot the Americans to the
spot.
