know better. and it is wen TO say it.
When dealing with the policy of rival
churches there is a tendency to harl'
back a century on two and rake up the
misdeeds OF nations and individuals
who perpetmted some horror in the
name OF religion. There are deeds on
both sides OF the house which II lis well
that we should forget, since though
the church may be divine. yet its in
struments AFRO human And the hui
manity OF a former day was not that
which we should copy.
With the advancing years we have
grown more frank The policy of Rome
is to think less OF enthroning and de-
throning monarchs. and more OF her
spiritual work. Consequently this
Republic has always had a friend In
the Vatican. When there is trouble
over the Friars' lands in the Philip
pines we send an ambassador to Rome
10 negotiate a settlement with the
church authorities. though a half cen
tury ago this would have raised a
storm. When It becomes desirable it IL
done frankly and nothing is said. So
we have made advances, but we have
vet more TO learn. Protestant and
Catholic should understand each other
more fully, and while holding firmly to
their own beliefs, be just in their con-
lveraton. their addresses. their books
and in their public acts.

That the luscious peach has been de-
rived from the hard shelled almond can
no longer be successfully denied. 1t is
said that the peach in its original soil
was a yirulent poison and that the Per-
sian warriors brought to Persia some
of the seeds and planted them for the
purpose Of poisoning the points Of their
arrows so as to render wounds caused
by them to be fatal. but a change OF
climate and soil produced a fruit
which is not only luscious. but is es-
teemed exceedingly healthful.

There is just one objection to this
business OF granting honorary degrees;
they are not properly distributed. A
few get all, and the rest get none. In
a Republic where all men are equal.
why is not every man entitled TO his
degree? II they were expensive it
would be another matter, but all that
is necessary is TO ill out a blank
form and stamp it, and an LII D., il
made. Some persons have three or foui
of these degrees. and as they cannot
use all at once. a proper spirit would
dictate that those not in use should be
passec over to others. There is an
other thing about degrees; those Who
are worthy do not need them, and those
who are not worthy are not benefte,
by them So OF what use are they
anyway?

forbidden the carrying of certain fans,
fearing that they would spread trouble

and both know that the donor is wish

goes. There are many kinds of fans
and each has its own use. There is a
tea fan. used only at the ceremOniOus
tea feast The little cakes are handled
with it. but one does not use it to fan
with. The dancers and geisha girls
have their own type Of fans, as do the
|jugglers and others in all walks Of
life There are kitchen fans, to be used
as bellows, and a bamboo water fan,
that is dipped in water often while be-
ing used so that it cools the air it stirs.
Even the children have their fans, as
we'll as their dolls
THE old fans are not in general use
now. The ancient court fans were Of
wood folding, and covered with silk
lartifcial flowers. Each noble family
had its own flower, and no one else
Jared use it. The war fan was of iron,
covered with lacquer and the generals
had silk fans with iron sticks. Then
there were dagger fans. The noble
men in Japan still carry them, but il
! is against the law to take them into
China. Nevertheless, Chinese noble
men also carry them.
Everybody in China carries a fan,
and there is so much fan etiquette that
! IL is a wonder that the Chinese have

THE WATER CASE

We hope that the Supreme Court
which heard the Water Commission
case yesterday will render decision
at as early a date ais possible. II is,of
the utmost importance that the status
OF the matter should be fixed at once
Our present water system is substan-
TALLY as Il was ten or fifteen years ago
and yet since that time we have added
over $4,000 to our population. Few
persons understand how urgent the
matter Is The Rodney street reser-
voir which supplies great part OF the
town is filled by constant pumpage.
It does not contain a days supply by
100000 gallons. All the reservoirs OF
the city do not hold an amount suf-
hcient for more than six days. Any
one familiar with such matters is aware
that there should be sufficient storage
to last for at least thirty days. Should
there be a long drought we are liable
TO have a water famine, and the danger
is constantly increasing.
Should the purchase of the Weldin
farm be sustained, It is proposed to es-
rablish a storage basin that will hold
a thirty days supply. There is ad-
ditional ground Of the property which
win allow future extensions. In the
course OF a decade or 50 even the capa-
city Of this new contemplated reservoir
may have to be extended, for as the
city grows the demand for water con-
lstantly increases The case was heard
by the Superior Court, and a majority
decision was in favor of the right OF
the commission to make the purchase
There the matter should have rested
but for reasons which will not bear TIC
closest scrutiny. it was appealed. We
may look for the proper decision by
the Supreme Court, but would respect
fully urge that it should be rendered
at the earliest date possible.

have been dipped In the fountain OF
perpetual youth is that Of the Anneke
Jams heirs. Every ten years or so we
read In the papers that the Anneke
JAMS heirs scattered over the country
have held a meeting and resolved to
send an attorney to New York TO coll
lect bill from the Trinity Church cor
poratlon amounting to several millions
of dollars Respecting the origin of this
claim there Is one of the most romantic
stories attached to the early settlement
of New York, to which came certain
Roelof Jansen and his wife Anneke in
1850 from Holland. In 1886 the governor
Of New Amsterdam gave them a tract
of sixty-two acres, now comprising o
valuable portion of New York city in
the business district. Roelof Jansen
died and in 1888 his widow Anneke
married the second minister In the col
ONT, Dominic Bogardus. who was
drowned in l6i7. After the death Of
Anneke in 1864 the grant of land was
confirmed to her children -four by her
first husband and four by the second)
by the English government as may be
verified by the ancient patent book" In
Albany, ~ Y. But II said that all but
one Of them-Cornelius Bogardus-unit-
ed In conveying the farm to the gov
ernor Of the province in 1911. In 1905
this estate, then known as the Queens
farm, was either leased or granted to
Trinity church. which by the way, has
held 1t ever since, enjoying vast rev.
enues from its holdings for nearly 200
years, the annual income being placed
At about 100000, and the value Of its
properties at not less than s16, 900 900.
The Anneke Jams heirs assert that
Trinity held a lease only for ninety
nine years, which has, Of course, long
since expired, but the corporation re.
torts that It has gained right by pos
session even if its original title was de-
fective. However the heirs have been
bringing suit against the Trinity cor.

II is difficult to separate the peaceful

fcient munitions Of war to last them

secure his rifle and cartridges. which
he values more than all the gold in the

From the manner In which the con-
ilict is now conducted against the va
quis, It Is undoubtedly to be q war OF
determination, and II cannot be denied
that the Mexlcans have some warrant
for their present methods Of carrying
on hostIllties, accepting the lessons that
the Yaquis themselves have taught
them and following the example set by
General Miles and others this side the
border in their campaigns against the

somewhat resemble). General Torres,
now in command, has resolved to de-

The skill necessary to do this Is ac-

Is able to extract half a dozen teeth in
about thirty seconds without once re-

ends with the drawing Of hard pegs
