We used to sneak along the street, feeling

we look the world now in the face, and
step, off bold and free;
That's what God and the Temperance

As result of Carol d. Wright's labor

require total abstinence of their employees,
and fifty per cent of the employers of un-
skilled labor demand the same.

In an article in the Blackwoods
Magazine, berating Anglo-SaXon So
ciety, the writer falls foul of the Am
erican woman, and expresses himself
to this effect: The intense
worldlincss which is permeating
the polite circles Of Europe
is the very essence and marrow of so.
ciety in the United States Tie de-
mon of discomfort holds sway there as
elsewhere. and in that strange conger-
les of different social elements every
body, democrat and wouldbe aristocrat
alike, treats life in general as a spec
ulation for the rise. The husband
slaves day and night in Wall Street or
Chicago for the dollars which his
smart wife spends abroad, or else COM
peting in the unbridled extravaganza
of New York or Newport convivality,
and, strange as it may seem. he is
content that it should be so. He feels,
no doubt, that kind of reflected glory
is shed upon him by his better half's
brilliance, and M. Paul Bourget is
probably right when he says that "the
American husband of smart
wife regards her as an in.
vestment that is expected to
return dividends in the shape of social
triumphs." American society delights
in "tawdry Barnumlike entertainments
and social functions, where the fabu-
lous cost of the accessories is advertis-
ed in print, each article being inven-
toried according to it's size, weight and
value. Pretentious magnifcance and
vulgar smartness are the ideals of the
rich"

When a Chinaman loses his pigtail
he is thought by those who retain that
appendage to be an acceptable sacrifice
to the deity they worship, and prep
arations to immediate one thus de.
spoiled were recently made by his
countrymen at Baker City, Ore. AS
he was paralyzed he could not cut and
run away from his prosecutors, and if
it had not been for a local order of the
Sisters of Charity among whom he
had before found refuge it would have
gone i'll with him. They effected his
rescue at the last moment, his country
men regarding it as an act of impiety,
inviting International attention and
reprisal. The early discovery that the
heather Chinese was peculiar still holds
good, and is particularly demonstrate

America is not the only country in
which there is difficulty in raising
funds for memorials and monuments.
England is again demonstrating that
not republics alone are ungrateful
when it comes to a question of con-
tributing money for such cause. The
fiasco made in the effort to raise
great fund for a Gladstone memoir
ial is still fresh in mind. and now it
has been announced that the king will
peal to parliament to provide sufficient
money to make up the needed balance
to complete the Victoria Memorial
Fund. The scheme that has been ap-
proved and adopted calls for the ex-
penditure of about s2,500,000. OF this
amount in the year since the late
queens death only $92700t
has been subscribed. The same
difficulty was found in rails
ing a fund for the Albert mem
orial, which is more understandable
than in the case of the beloved Victoria
for the Prince consort, although a man
much honored in his adopted country,
was always a foreigner. Parliament
made a grant at that time, and de-
spite the huge war expenditures, will
doubtless accede to the kings request

laundering has been going on in
Minnesota for over fifty years, during
which time it is probably safe to say
been cus OF this amount perhaps $20,-
100000 worth was granted to rail-
roads. How much has the United
States received for all this pine? Be-
ginning with the year 1S49 and up to
October, 1897, the exact and total
amount that the United States has
received for all lands sold in Mime
sota-agricultural as we'll as timber
land-was just s7,2S6,599.4O. If these
splendid pine forests had been
managed on foresty principles
the general government would
have received many more
million dollars, and Minnesota
herself would have been in a much
better situation. In view of such rec
ord it is not unreasonable that the
public now demand that some little
remnant of the pine woods be saved
as a forest reserve, observes the ST..
Paul Pioneer-Press.
