PADEREWSKTs TEARS.
A London Society Lady Carries One
 as a Souvenir.

A London Society Lady Carries One
 as a Souvenir.
 There is no enthusiast like the man or woman who raves over music. They will acknowledge it themselves that ii they listen to q pathetic piece or music well played tears will flow rom their eyes and their mind is in a miserable state all the time the per- formance goes on. Yet they will sit out the piece and come again next day if another recital is to take place.
 There is promising society lady in London who treasures one of Pader- eWski's tears as one of her most prized souvenirs. She has many souvenirs of famous artists, but this tear is the most precious of all. She positively claims that it is a real tear from tne eye of the great pianist. But as to how she came into possession of it, that remains a secret. There it is. a little drop of liquid In the center of transparent bauble. She carries it in small locket hung about her neck. and neither for love nor money would she part with it.
 There is another kind of enthusiast who collects the ivory notes from the pianos over which great p1anists have run their fingers. Some collectors will even carry their fad so far as to actually smash the notes off pianos belonging to ladies whose houses they visit

High and imperious, stately, proud,
 Ynt art f11l ta hnU11ila

High and fmperiOus, stately, proud,
 Yet artful to beguile, A woman, without wonan's heart.
 Or woman's sunny smile. By nature, tyrannous and vain,
 By kingcraft false and mean She hated Mary from her soul
 AS woman and as queen. Men hate because in act or strife
 They cross each others path Heart is the space for jealousy,
 And fierce the hour of wrath. But woman's hate runs deeper far,
 Though snallower at the spring; Right seldom is it they forget
 The shaft that galled fheir wing. fairer face, higher place,
 More worship, more applause, Will make a woman loathe her frie1i(
 Without a deadlier cause. Tn this at least Elizabeth
 To womankind was true: For who would ever bend to her
 When Mary was in view? Mary, the bright and peerless moon
 That shines aloft in Heaven Elizabeth the envious cloud
 That o'er it's disc is driven.

A writer in one of the trade jour- nals in discussing swift steamships tells how Cervera nearly escaped. In the U. s. s. New York and Brook lyn and H. M. s. Blake and Blenheim, says this writer, a method of engine design is used by which the gain in economy is unquestionable. These are all large vessels with engines from 16000 to 10000 horse power, and they were designed with two complete triple-expansion engines on each shaft, the idea being that at anything below half power only one set of engines on each shaft would be used, and this is actually the practice in ordinary cruising. Special objection to this type of engine was developed at the time of the naval battle of Santiago. On both the New York and the Brook lyn there was a comparatively simple coupling for connecting the two en- zine shafts, but it required about half an hour to perform the operation. Dur ing the blockade both the New York and the Brooklyn had been kept un- der half power, using only the after engines. When Cervera's fleet came out so unexpectedly, it was not deemed wise to lose half an hour in coupling up, so that it was possible to work the engines up to half power only The poor work of the Spanish engineers rendered this lack of efficiency less important than it would have been had the enemy's fleet been possessed of skilled engineers; but the lesson was learned and this. added to the other objections already mentioned, renders it unlikely that this type of engine will again be used.

You may as well expect to run a steam engine without water as to find an active, energetic man with a tor pld liver and you may know that his llVer IS torpid when he does not relish ms food or feels dull and Ianguid af- ter eating, often has headache and sometimes dizziness. A few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets will restore his liver to it's nor nal functions, renew his vitality, im- prove his digestion and make him feel like new man.

Our esteemed Boston contemporary,
 the Pilot, does not take much stock in accepting gifts from foreigners, and in referring to the acceptance by this country of statue of Frederick the
 Great it says whether second thoughts are best or not, it is evident that they are sometimes awkward for the think CT who has acted on his first impulse. The bearing of this observation ap-
 plies to President Roosevelt's prompt acceptance of Emperor Williams of fer to give a statue of Frederick the Great to this government on condition that it be erected in a public place of honor at the national capital. The critics say that the president had no constitutional right to accept such a gift for the nation. Others maintain that Frederick was no friend of this country when it was struggling for liberty, or, at least, that he showed no active sympathy with it. Yet oth- CTS declare that it is contrary to prin- ciple and precedent to commemorate any monarch with public statue in this republic If these last be right, as we think they are, there will be
 nice embarrassment when the heroic figure of Frederick is brought over and a site demanded for it. It would have been in better taste if the kaiser had chosen some other subject, Gen eral steuben, for example, for he was a real friend of the continentals and fought by their side in the revolution. There is no precedent for honoring royalty with an effigy in cle land of democracy and this is the worst pos sible time to establish one; when the people look with jealous eyes on an apparent trend towards monarchy on

DANISH TREATY RATIFIED.
The Senate Quickly Agrees to Buy the
Danish Islands.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-To-day, in n
little more than an hours time, the
Senate disposed of the treaty with Den
mark, ceding to the United States for
$5,0OO,000 the islands of st. Thomas,
st. John and st. Croix, composing the
group of the Antilles known as the
Danish West Indies and lying just east
of Porto Rico, and thus, so far rs this
country is concerned, consummated n
transaction which has been under con-
slderation intermittently since the ad-
minlstration of President Lincoln.
The treaty and the report on it were
read at length, and more or less discus
sion of the proposition was INDUCED in.
Senator Cullom, MS chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, made n
speech explaining the advantages of
the acquisition OF the Islands, and SEN
ators Bacon and McLaurin (Alissis-
sipp) made brief remarks, saying that
while they could not indorse all the
provisions of the agreement, .ney
would place no obstacles In the way
OF ratification.
Senator Bacon moved to amend the
treaty by striking out the second par
agraph of article 3, reading as follows:
'The civil rights and the political
status of the inhabitants of the islands
shall be determined by the congress,
subject to the stipulailons contained
in the present convention"
He based his opposition to this pro-
vision on the ground that the constltu-
tion should extend TO the Islands when
they became part of the United
States. He said, however, that the
failure TO accept the amendment would
not prevent his voting for the treaty,
for he believed In the Monroe doctrine.
The amendment was rejected with
out division.
Senator Cullom explained that under
the terms OF the treaty the United
States was TO take possession Of the
Islands rs soon as the ratifcations
could be exchanged. and said that II
would not be necessary to delay that
act until the appropriation OF money To
psy for them could he made.
The harbor OF st. Thomas was de-
scrlbed as one of the safest and best
in the West Indies, and the Importance
OF It's possession from n strategic point
was enlarged upon. Senator columns
motion 10 ratlfy then was adopted by
viva yoce vote.

AN INTERESTING TOOL.
The Automatic Screw Machine Does
Wonders.

The most highly developed Of ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine, and, like many another contriv-
ance for saving labor. Its home Is New
England. 1t is a development of the
ordinary steel working lathe. the inter
mediate step being the monitor lathe,
In which the various cutting tools pro-
trride from the side of Il steel turret
like thirteen-inch guns from battle
ship turret. In the non-automatic
screw machine the turret is revolved
by the operator, so as TO bring each
tool into play, just as the turret on the
old Monitor was revolyed to bring one
gun after another into action. But in
the automatic machine the work Is
done without human guidance.
1t making screws, nuts. bolts, stud
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks, typewrlters, electrical instru.
ments and other mechanism, all the OPP
orator has to do is to feed the stock"
n long. thin rod of steel or brass-to
the machine. The feeding mechanism
carries the rod slowly forward into the
field of action. The turret advances
and puts Its first tool ut work on the
end of the rod. When this tool has
done its task, the turret withdraws 1t,
turns and advances second tool into
action. Each cutting tool around the
turret has its distinct work to perform
-one cutting n thread, another shaping
head, another putting on n point, an
other drilling hole,r-i'll another put
ting on n knurling. The turret auto
matically brings each of, perhaps, six
tools into action, and, when the work
is finished, the completed screw drops
into a pan, while the ''stock" is auto
matically fed forward to begin the COM
plex operation again. stream of ma
chine oil pours continuously ON the
work to carry away the heat, and the
little metal cuttings collect in heap
under the machine.

of ten per cent. of this sum be made

beside the river, and several other loca-
tons are being considered. 1t has been
suggested that n portion Of the build

Near the Billion Mark-oreatly
Increased Deposits Show the Bank
Statement out Of Harmony.
New York, Feb. 1I.-The Financier
says:
The statement of the New York MS
ISOLATED banks last week shows n rec
Ord-breaking maximum in the items Of
loans and Of deposits and this, too.
Notwithstanding n loss of cash.
The official return of the cash was
entirely at variance with the estimate
based upon the traceable movements
Of money between the banks and the
treasury and the Interior, the official
statement showing net loss of $685.,
100, made up of gain of $1,51G, 700 in
specie and loss of s., ,202, 500 In legal
tenders, while the estimated movement
showed a gain of S2,619, 100 cash. This
discrepancy may be accounted for by
an outward movement of legal tenders
through the mail to Boston and Phila-
ielphia, which shipments were not re-
ported by the bank tellers who con,
lined their reports to the amount Of
money which was delivered to or re-
ceived from the express companies.
The loans We're expanded last week
oy S13,49S, 700. This makes u total
expansion since the second week in
January of SGT, ,T67 300 and the loans
are now $932, ,004, 100, or $13,215, 100
greater than the largest amount of
loans on record, which was $01S, 7S9.-
900, March o, 1901. Deposits were in
creased by S1i, ,59I, 100, showing that
the statement is out of harmony.
The surplus reserve was reduced 81,
G335,3I5 to .S13, EGO, $50, or only Sos, 400
above the surplus at the corresponding
date Il year ago. Then the cash hold
lngs OF the banks We're S265. .6S4, 700,
whereas now they are S267 $50, 500.
Comparisons of changes in the item
Of loans and of cash by seven of the
Wall street banks show that six out
Of the number increased loans by $12,-
100000, while one bank showed n de-
crease of 81, 10000 making net gain
of $11 100000. Two of the six banks
expanded loans by 100000.
