washing Away the Earth.

A French geologist has made a care
full calculation of the amount of solid
matter yearly carried off into the ocean
by the action of the rivers of the world
and other causes. He estimates that
the reduction Of the average height of
the surface of the solid land is .OO6
inches each year. Making allowance for
the corresponding rise in the bed of the
ocean and taking no account of the oc-
currence Of volcanic and other excep-
tional phenomena, the general tenden-
cy of which is to hasten the process
Of disintegration, the period at which
the solid land will have ceased to exist
and the surface Of the earth will be
covered with water has been esti-
mated. As, however, that period is
100000 years distant, the prediction
need cause no immediate disquietude.

THE HUMBLE HAlRPIN.

Y n Thought You Knew Its Many
2 Uses, but There Are others.
The comprehensive. merits of the
hairpin are known to all Observant
men. Its special value ip surgery is
asserted by writer in American Med
icine. 1t seems that a surgeon can do
almost anything with n hairpin. He
can wire bones with it. probe and close
wounds, pin bandagcs, compress blood
vessels, use it ito remove foreign bod
les from any natural passage" and "as
a curette for scraping away soft ma
terial." And no doubt the women
doctors can do great deal more with
that most gifted and versatile of hu-
man implements. AnthropOlOgists have
never done justice to the hairpin. 1t
keeps civilization together. In the
hands of girls entirely great it is m1ch
mightier than the sword or, for that
matter, the plow. What is the plow
but development of the forked stick.
and what is the fOrked stick but
modification of the hairpin? If there
was any necessity a woman could
scratch the ground successfully with a
hairpin now. In fact, there is no work
or play in which something may not
be accomplished by means of it.
Dullards will tell you that women
aren't so inventive as men; don't take
out so many patents. They don't have
to. With the hairpin all that is do-able
can be done. With a hairpin a woman
can pick a lock, pull cork, peel an ap-
pie, draw out nail beat an egg, see
if joint of meat is done. do up a baby.
sharpen pencil. dig out a silver. fas-
ten door, hang up a plate or picture.
open can, take up a carpet, repair a
baby carriage, clean a lamp chimney,
put up curtain, rake q crate fire, cut

tramps, produce artificial buttons, hooks
and eyes; sew, knit and darn, button
gloves and shoes, put up awnings. doc.
tor an automobile. In short, she can
do what she wants to. She needs no
other instrument.
IL a woman went into the Robinson
Crusoe line, she could build a hut and
make her a coat of the skin Of a goat
by means of the hairpin. She will rev.
OlutiOnize surgery with it in time.
Meanwhile the male chirurgeOns are
doing the best they can, but 1t is not
to be believed that they have mastered
the full mystery of the hairpln.

''Lest they forget it, we remind our
regular" friends" say the Wilmington
Sun, that they are SHINING away
their day of grace. The only positive
ly sure chance there is for the election
of a Irregular" to the United States
Senate from this State, is to accept the
Union Republican proposition to
elect Mr.. Addicks and any regular"
upon whom the regular" minority
agree. The next Republican legisla-
ture in this State will be a caucus
abiding Legislature in which there will
be majority of Union Republicans
in the Republican majority. When
thatlegislature convenes the regulars
will be at the mercy of the Union Re-
publieans, with long score to be set
tied. The regulars" will have no
good cause of complaint, however ex-
acting the terms of settlement. Wis
dom would dictate settlement now
while the conditions are favorable
Political wisdom dictates tina conrse as
the easiest and most effective course
for the complete defeat of the Demo-
cratic party"
Smyrna times., 1902-07-09

the Continental Congress the act sim
ply meant freedom for the 13 colonies
if the revolutionists succeeded and
death to the signers of that instrument
if they failed; but the spirit of their
historic utterance was large enough to
fill continent.
The first Fourth of July had little
significance except for the territory
east of the Alleghanies. By the time
the war ended it could have been cele-
brated as far west as the Mississippi.
For more than 100 years that annual
glorifcation in Independence Day has
been extending westward over an ever
widening realm, until to-day the
Fourth is celebrated by loyal Ameri-
cans in the Philippine Islands and
even by Americans in China.
Never has Independence Day had so
broad and grand a meaning. From
the Gulf of Mexico to the New Eng
land boundaries the people are more
thoroughly united than ever in the
past. From Porto Rico to the Philip
pines the Stars and Stripes offer to all
the fullest measure of freedom COM
patible with the common good, and
this is as strictly truein Manila as it is
IN Yonkers.
No land is richer IN lives dedicated
to the cause of liberty than our own
United States. Here, indeed, liberty
seems to have set up her shrine, and
multitudes of votaries have consecrat-
ed their lives to the noble service. In
our reverence for later and better
known heroes we should not forget the
men whose early struggles paved the,
way for our independence. Soldiers
not of fortune but for freedom they
fought for the noblest cause Siat man
can serve, and made with their lives
and fortunes the firm foundation of
our Republic.
Smyrna times., 1902-07-09

The President has formally declar-
ed the restoration of peace in the Phil
ippine archipelago; he has placed the
island uTder complete civil control and
has extended general amnesty to the
Filip1nOs who have been in rebellion.
These three things, marking one of
the most important chapters in Phili-
ppine history, were accomplished
through the issue of three separate
orders and proclamations, one by the
President, over his own signature, ex-
tending amnesty; one through Secre-
tary Root, by the Presidents order,
relieving General Chaffee from his
duties as Military Governor, and
third which takes the shape of a gener-
al order addressed to the entire army
of the United States, in which Secre.
tGry Root takes occasion, to express
the Presidents high appreciation of
the work it has accomplished, both in
Cuban in the Philippines.
There was never Fourth in all its
history in which the United States
conld feel more certain that it was
doing its share to carry out the pur-
pose, the principle and the aim of the
Declaration of Independence than this
Independence Day, celebrated in a
week which sees also passed the meas
ure to provide civil government for the
Philippines. This measure and the
policy it represents will achieve what
has never yet been achieved in Asia
by education and by liberty, through
law, the creation of the conditions
under which free self-government will
be possible. It is not thepeople of the
Philippines who have opposed our rule.
1t is those who profit under Asiatic
despotism and South American revolu-
tiOns through the absence of both law
and liberty, justice and order.
