HANLEY-BUILT DEFENpERY

Yachtsmen are not inclined to credit
the rumor from Boston that c. c. Hapley

to be a radical departure from the 30
foot yachts already built. The experts de-
clare that she ought to be able TO carry
an immense amount of sail
A member of the New York Yacht club
said after reading an account of the Bos-
ton boat
Ii will cost considerably more than the
sum named to build and run boat OF the
size necessary TO defend the cup. and it
hardly looks reasonable that boat of
such abnormal dimensions as those given
could be of any use as a cup defender.
She would be freak. and no mistake.
Just consider for a moment and compare
her mea surements with those OF the Co
umbia and the Constitution. Both these
sloops measure l32 feet over all The Co.
lumbias beam Is 24l7 feet. The Constf-
tution's 25.17 feet. According to the fig
ures the new boat is to be 3s feet longer
over all, and she would have 75 feet over

Rudeness Never Justifiable.


1t sometimes seems as If there were a
growing impression in this land to the ef-
feet that good breeding Is proved by rude
ness rather than by courtesy. If there is
such idea in the heads Of any consid-
cradle number of people, 1t Is erroneous,
and they will save themselves trouble by
having it removed, by surgical operation
if necessary. We hear. for example. Of
somebody of no particular antecedents who
has said an impertinent thing, and the COM
ment is made, 80 absurd for so-and-so to
put on such airs! Why. the family was
nothing at all at such and such a time"
This implies that If so-and-so had belonged
to a certain class, the impertinence would
have been perfectly justiflable.
Again, we find people who are accident
ally raised into positions Of prominence
using their eminence to say and do rude
things. apparently under the impression
that they have now right to do things
humble position and which they would re-
sent from any one whom they consider
their interiors. In short, they consider
that they have right to be rude to those
less fortunate than they, while the latter
have no right to be rude In return. 1t is
easy to see where few generations Of this
theory would lead u.s. Everybody in a
higher social grade would be busy hunting
for interiors to whom 1t was safe to be in
solent. This social theory Is obviously so
silly that 1t seems strange that sensible
people should entertain 1t for q minute. 1t
does not lower ones dignity to be cour-
teous, even to the poorest. and orders can
be given and reproof administered without
any rudeness whatever. IS

of husband and wife has been brought
about by experienced and well wishing par
ents or friends. But at the same time,
cold, sorrowful homes are no less frequent
The husband and the wife are the mutual
helpers and comforterS just as in this coun-
try. but in one sense the husband is more of
the ruler. and the wife Is more the one to
obey. And the thing which strikes every
American is the outward GOODNESS of the
husband toward the wife, in spite of his Oft
times deep love for her; especially before
others, he assumes dignity and restricts
tender words.
LAS father he is generally loving which
is no remarkable contrast to the American
father. The Japanese father is not so indu-
gent as the softer-hearted mother; he COM
mands certain dignity which calls forth
both respect and love from his children.
His position as a grandfather alone re-
mains to be described. Reverence to the
aged and filial piety to the parent being
among the most important moral duties OBJ
served by the japanese his old age may be
happier than that of the American grand

house. he still receives every comfort and
luxury, sincere love and respect from the
sons and daughters and grandchildren.
"On looking back the main points that
mark more or less distinctly the position of
the japanese man in his home as differing
from that of the American are two-first,
that the japanese has more authority over
the woman than the American. and second,
that the rightful relations between the jap

size adapts them to the size of the jewelers.
crucfble. AS for the banker, he does not
melt his gold; he contents himself with
shipping it back and forth across the ocean
A remarkable feature Of this exchange Of
legal tender for gold bars Is that one can
not always get just the amount he wishes.
If jeweler or a banker wishes $4,000 in
gold bullion Uncle Sam gives him as near
that amount as he possibly can. 1t may be
S5,9I0.5O or $40, O6O.30, because the bars vary
in size and weight, and practically all of
them have odd cents in their value. Two
bars the cashier handed out one day this
week were stamped s531. 10 and s1231O.
In buying gold bars the purchaser first
tells the cashier at the assay office how
much he wishes The cashier comes as near
this amount as he can with the bars on
hand, and then the purchaser goes next
door to the subtreasury, where he deposits
his legal tender, gold certificates, green
backs gold coin, for the amount desig-
mated by the assay office cashier the
nearest to the desired amount, receiving
therefor certificate which. upon presenta-
ton at the assay Office, insures the deliv-
cry of the bars. But before they may be
taken away the recipient must sign for
them In the register which lies open be-
meath the bars of the wide-arched window.

Davy Crockett's Rifle.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

the Meuipuis SomHlercldl Appeal.
One Of the most interesting relics on ex-
hibition in the office of Secretary of State
Crockett Is the rifle which was presented
by admiring friends to his great-grand-
father. the immortal Davy Crockett, hero
OF the Alamo. and author of the equally
immortal phrase: BE sure you are right
and then go ahead" This gun was carried
by the grandson of the first owner, the
late General Bob" Crockett, who brought
down much game with it, but now it has
been retired with honor and full pay to
pass the remainder Of its days, or CEN
turtles. as a relic of one of the greatest
characters this country has ever produced.
1t is formida ble-looking weapon origi-
nally Of the fintlock type, with a 4O-cal-
iber bore. The barrel was originally 40
inches long. but some Of IT has been cut of
and 1t is now only 4O1a inches 1t was pre-
sented to David Crockett soon after his
second election to Congress in 1893, by
some of his admiring young whg friends
OF Philadelphia. 1t cost $3.50 and was made
especially for him. The donors raised the
money by contributing half a dollar each
to the fund. The stock Is trimmed in ster-
ling silver. appropriately designed with fig
ures of the Goddess of Liberty, a raccoon,
a deer's head and other figures. Along the
upper part Of the barrel are the letters, set
into the metal in gold, some of which has
worn out: Presented by the Young Men
of Philadelphia to the Hon.. David Crock
EFT Of Tennessee" In similar letters near
the muzzle are the words: go ahead"

THE CRIME OF THRIFT.
Reason for Persecution Of the Jews in
Roumania.
From the Minneapolis Tribune


Whatever may be the pretext for the dis
elimination against the Jews in Roumania
the real reason for their persecution is I'M
questionab bly, their superior thrift. They are
Industrious, abstemnous. strewd, and
when they are given an equal chance with
the other inhabitants of the country, many
of them soon become forehanded and en-
gage in business. Some of them are ped
dlers, some merchants, some craftsmen
some manufac turers and some money loan
ers. 1t is in the latter capacity that they
excite the greatest amount of prejudice
The unthrifty Roumanian peasants spend
their money faster than they earn 1t, ana
mortgage their little belongings to their
more prudent neighborS, the Jews. The
sight of the Jew making his livelihood with
out severe manual toll and gradually &C
curing possession through foreclosure, or
much of the property, is an offense to the
people who regard themselves as of the ma
tive stock, and the natural lords of the
country and the soil.
Although Jews have been domicied in
Roumania probably since the destruction of
Jerusalem and the dispersion of the nation
by Titus, they are nevertheless still desig-
mated as aliens by the Roumanian law, and
In order to put check upon their thrifty
proclivities they have been denied the right
to live in villa ges. When this severe regu-
lation failed to starve the Jews out, for they
could still make living from the SOIL the
definition Of village was stretched to in
clude every nook and corner of the country.
until the Jews had no abiding place and
were compelled to emigrate AS foreign
ers" they were denied the right to hold
landed property and barred out of one en-
ployment or business after another. This
accounts for the poverty of the Roumanian
Jews. who are assisted to emigrate to this
! country by people Of their race more for
tunately situated.
Are the people of Roumania and the peas
ants of some districts Of Russia the only
people who treat thrift as a crime? Hardly.
The Roumanians and Russians are more
frank about 1t. but a number Of political
agitators In more highly civilized countries
In effect proclaim the same doctrine when
they advocate measures to hamper industry
and commercial development. How often
Is envy, jealousy and all Observation-Disclosures
hidden under the cloak Of "reform!" Even
In this country Of energy and hard work
| men who take hold and develop things and
are remarkably successful in building up
their own fortunes, while at the same time
promoting the general welfare, are made
the OBJECT OF unreasonable attacks And in

risen In the social scale are too often made
the subject Of disparaging remarks by those
who with equal opportunities, have Jagged

CHILD HAWKER EVIL.
Big Movement to Control It in the
Streets of London.


London guardians unanimously agree
that the unregulated employment of chill
dren In street hawking is a public menace,
and, as announced yesterday, they are call
ing for a Mansion House conference on the
subject. The result of this movement VIII
probably be that before long no London
child will be permitted by the police TO
thrust newspapers, matches. flowers and
other articles in the faces Of pedestrians
unless he or she can point to an armlet
badge certifying the wearer to be a licensed
hawker.
And a good thing. too" said a market
stallkeeper. Then parents will be obliged
to that their children are properly
treated and kept respectable, or they WIN
be licensed. AS 1t Is, they're allowed to
grow up anyhow. bringing suffering to
themselves and everybody else. And half
poor little kids! I know parents who live
on their children's earnings. They won't
send them to school unless compelled, and
when they get there the children fall
asleep from overwork."
A higher authority accuses these chill
dren Of gambling, dishonesty, indecency.
use Of bad language and Fostering people"
But 1t isn't their fault he says, ITS the
fault Of the law for not looking after them
properly. In the absence Of regulation, the
very nature of their trade encourages the
children to appear disreputable. The more
picturesquely dishevefled they are the b st.
ter they are patronized by an impulsive but
understanding public"
In London from 10000 to 1900 children
are engaged in this perilous traffic. The
home Office has been informed that In the
country as q whole from 100000 to 15O, 90
are engaged in street trading, which. ex-
cept in Liverpool and Manchester, Is ex-
tremely Uncontrolled.

Tried to Help the Poor Horse.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
William H. Paul, jr., a Philadelphia ar
fist, summering in Solebury township,
Bucks county, is responsible for this story,
which has set all the farmers up there
laughing. Mr.. Paul is unmarried.
Three young women" he said, drove
up to an old mill, and went into raptures
over its picturesqueness. Their dress and
speech announced that they were from the
city. The horse, relieved from the con-
slant saving at his bit, walked toward a
watering trough, but could not get his muz-
zle down to drink. The drivers noticed he
wanted water, but did not know enough
about harness to undo his check rein.
First, two of them tried pulling his head
down by tugging at his ears. Then one
tried lifting water In her hand for him to
lap. When her companions walked to the
back of the carriage and raised both rear
wheels SO the horse could be tipped head
first into the trough 1t proved too much for
the miller, who had been looking from
window. and he came to help them. He
laughed so much. though. that he could
hardly undo the check rein. and afterward
found it too good joke to keep"

Mr.. Hamlin's Rattlesnake Dog.

From the Arizona Republican,
George Hamlin owns a little unkempt
curly-haired Scotch terrier dog that he
wouldn't sell for his full weight in bologna
sausage and an oil chrome besides. The
reason for 1t is that Mr.. Hamlins business
calls him frequently into a rattlesnake
country and the dog is his bodyguard. He
has a great nose on him for rattlesnakes.
and on one occasion at least he probably
saved Mr.. Hamlin from one.
Last Saturday night he drove out to the
Relief mine, arriving there about IL o'clock
He took an armful Of plumber up to the
door of his cabin, and while unlocking the
door the dog crept up slyly toward him and
began to whine and bark. Mr.. Hamlin

SO he heard the unfriendly rattle Of big
snake He proceeded to kill the reptile and
discovered that he was possessed OF nine
ratties, and his mouth looked very much
like it was in working order. The snake
had been lying on the stone step waiting
for something easy to come along.
The next morning the dog found another
