Protection and the German.

The German agrarians declare II
they do not get relief 500 the agricul-
tural interests OF Germany will be
ruined. They polntto the fact that not
withstanding Germany's dense popu-
lation, over a hundred thousand acres
OF her farming lands recently sold Tor
less than four dollars per acre. The
great mass of Germany's agricultural
population have no clear conception OF
the origin Of their adversely. Now
they are clamoring for protection,
hoping that in some way it will benefit
their industry. They fail to see that
the margin of living over there is too
close to permit anything in the nature
of a prohibitive tariff on food stuffs.
II they should be granted their de-
mands they would not be enriched
thereby, for the reason that the Ger
man laborer cannot pay any higher
price for what he uses, and the COM
petition between the German manu-
facturer and his English and American
rivals is SO keen that he would rather
90 out of business than grant an in
crease OF wages. 1t follows that the
Agrarians cannot have their demands
conceded without starving TO death
their fellow citizens who live in the
cities and towns. Sensible Germans
perceive that hunting for prosperity
along the lines of protection will only
add to the misery Of the German peo-
pie, without doing their farming popu-
lation any good. Protection for them
will prove a blind alley, just as 1t will
prove a blind alley for us. When the
German Empire entered upon her
career Of protection her %plutocrats in
dulged in a vast amount of drum-beat-
ing and horn-tooting, just as our own
are doing now, but not having the vast

A system that places the products OF
the many in the hands OF the few can
never be beneficial to the many.
Where a country has reached the
limits OF its productive capacity, pro.

financial difficulties than a man can

Flights of two d!rigible airships at
Coney Island, New York, recently, call
attertion anew to the slow but ap-
parently steady progress which man
is making in the difficult art Of flying
The earliest historical record of an
attempt to design flying machine on
really scientific principles is found in
the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci.
The famous artist and engineer never
worked the idea out. but 1t Is known
that the principle involved was the
Tapping of wings. He proposed to use
man power for that purpose. Sew
eral inventors during the last half
of the nineteenth century devised toys
that would keep afloat for a moment
by moving wings. A typical device OF
that kind was Jobert's. 1t dates back
to 1872. Twisted rubber supplied the
power for its operation.
Among the first to recognize the
sustaining power of an outstretched
fiat surface, entirely apart from the
question of propulsion, was a German
engineer, Herr Otto Lilienthal. A
series of experiments and observa'
lions, covering twenty-five years, were
discussed in book which appeared In
1899. Subsequently Lilienthal made
short flights through the air by jump
ing from a roof or cliff and gliding
forward and downward at the same
time. At first he used only one pair
of stationary wings, or aeroplanes, to
hold himself up, but later he made
double decker. His apparatus was
supplied with a double rudder for
steering sideways and up and down.
Gravitation was his motive power, al
though toward the end of his career
he meditated using small engine.
Pitcher, young Englishman, and DC.
tave Chanute, an American engineer,
have done a great deal of good work
along this line.
The two most prominent investiga-
tors of the possibility Of combining
the aeroplane for sustaining the ship
in air with powerful propelling mech.
anism of the screw type have been

poses, in order to ascertain how fast
1t would go ahead, it was mounted
on q railway. 1t had three decks, or

men on board and plenty of naphtha
for fuel, weighed 5000 pounds. There

Rain-Proof Materials.

Rain-proof materials come in sever
al tailor styles, so that it is quite pos
sible for woman who doesn't find
ready-made just the garment she de-
sires, to have one built to suit her,
says the Washington Times. This ar
rangement affords an opportunity for
more variety than would otherwise be
the case, so that instead OF seeing a
hundred rain coats all made after the
same fashion, it is seldom that one
comes across duplicates.
For ordinary street wear, the rough
effects are considered the correct
thing in dress, zibiline being in the
lead, while new rough finished
vicuna is making strong bid for
favor. The use of plaids has brought
about a change in the style of suits,
for naturally these designs could not
be treated in the same manner as the
palmer cloths.

The reproductive power of money is
illustrated in the suit brought by the
descendants of Benjamin Franklin
against the cities of Philadelphia and
Boston to recover the $1,000 which
the great statesman left to each of
those cities as a fund to aid printers
and other artisans in starting bust
ness on their own account. These de-
scendants say that no attempt has
ever been made to carry out the pro-
visions of the will, and lay claim to
principal and interest. The $4,000 of
the thrifty printer has now increased
to about 100000, an increment from
which Franklin, if he were alive,
would not fail to extract moral as
to the potency Of small savings.

Recipe for Cleaning Lace.

Here is a recipe for cleansing dell
cate laces which an old lacemaker
who has woven many gossamer web
for the gres= connoisseur and lover
of laces, Nine. Modjeska, gave to her
pupil and patron: Spread the lace out
on paper, cover with calcined mag
nesia. place another paper over it, and
put it away between the leaves OF a
book for two or three days. Then
all 1t needs is skillful little shake
to scatter the powder, and its delicate
threads are as fresh and clean as
when first woven.-Good Housekeep'

Booth Harrington. the novelist, a.
ways sketches his stories in pictures
before he writes them in words, and
all of his stories lie hidden away In
picture form. He is unwilling to
show these drawings even to intimate
friends. His publishers have urged
him to allow them to use his own
drawings for illustration Of his books,
but he wouldn't hear of it, wouldn't
even let them see any Of the pictures.
At last he promised them one of the
Vanrevel sketches, but he was canny
enough not to send it until too late
for insertion in the book. About the
supplementary autograph edition he
did not know. The picture came in
time to be clapped into that and there
it is, to the authors dismay.

Pillow Of Kid Gloves.

A new and sensible kind Of pillow
has recently been devised. It is made
entirely Of kid, and the wrists OF old
discarded gloves are utilized for the
purpose. Every girl who has a lot OF
old gloves to throw away looks at
the unsoiled wrists, particularly OF the
party gloves, and wishes they could be
used. Here is a way: Cut the clean
parts into triangles, squares and other
shapes, haste them on canvas lining,
and "cat stitch" them together with
yellow silk. The result will be cool,
smooth, very lasting pillow, and one
that is very effective, II the shades
are properly combined. The soft grays
and worries harmonize beautifully with
the warm browns and reds.

THE NEED OF EDUCATION.
Russian Peasants Benefited by Spread
of knowledge.

Russian Peasants Benefited by Spread
of knowledge.
The economic decay of the Russian
peasantry is not primarily due to
ignorance, for in the first few years
after emancipation, when the peasants
were totally illiterate, they were COM
paratively prosperous. Nevertheless,
education invariably has good eco
nomic results, for the need for inten-
sive farming grows, and ignorance
and intensive farming are incompat-
ible. The Moscow Zemstvo in twenty
years reduced the illiteracy figures
from 10 per cent to less than 30 per
cent in certain districts, and 1t was
found that in the educated districts
the peasants were much better on
than in the districts where illiteracy
was more common. Peasant educa-
ton, however, is hampered by climatic
conditions, by the distance between
the villages and by the poverty Of the
Zemstvos. A Russian Zemstvo village
teacher Is paid from ten to fifteen dol
lars month; the teachers in the
parish schools sometimes receive as
little as $3.50 a month; and their
social position is extremely bad; SO
bad, indeed, that when the introduc.
ton of the State Drink Monopoly
created q new class Of government Of.
ficials, many schoolmasters left the
villages and obtained positions as as
sistants in the government public
houses.-R. E. c. Long, in The Pill

For Perfumed Hair.

To perfume the hair get a piece OF
water lily incense, which you can buy
at any Japanese or Turkish store.
Light it, and as the fumes arise shake
the hair over it until the incense has
all burned out The fragrance will
last long time in the hair, and is
only suggestion of perfume. Heavily
perfumed locks are in ba< taste.

will not hurt the hair and will give
it golden cast in the sunlight.-New

LIlienthaI's Gliding Machine.


were two enormous screws astern.
The engines were mGrvels of light
ness. They developed $50 horsepower
with weight of about six pounds per
horsepower. While he was expert
menting, in 1895, Maxims airship
pulled loose from the track, rose a
little and then came down abruptly
enough to be considerably injured.
Since that time Sir Hiram has given
little attention to this subject. Still,
he showed that 1t was possible to
attain speed Of something like twen-
ty-five or thirty miles an hour.
Prof Langley, who has probably
gone deeper in to the philosophy of
aerial navigation than any other living
man, improved on Maxim in two or
three ways. He made a model too
small to carry passenger, but big
enough to test the merits of the de-
sign. Its length was 16 feet, and the
distance from tip to tip of wing about
~ feet His steam engine weighed
only twenty-six ounces and developed
one or one and cne-half horsepower.
Finally he launched the ship from the
roof of a houseboat on the water, so
that when it descended the craft
would not be injured. The trial fight

miles an hour.
