To New Voters

The American Protective Tariff
League Of New York is early in the
field for the campaign Of 1904. Real
izing that the percentage OF new
voters may prove to be sufficient to
turn the scale in several states, The
League has mailed to its members
and connections inquiry cards ask
ing names and addresses Of young
men who will, next year, cast their
first votes at a presidential election.
Replies to these cards are coming in
by the hundreds in every mail, and
The League is rapidly accommodating
an immense list of names to which
it will send literature of the sort
calculated TO inform young electors
as to the merits of the questions
dividing the two political parties.

Bsautiful old Women

We occasionally meet a woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom of youth. We wonder how
it has come about--what her secret
is. Here are few of the reasons
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congeuial.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She kept her nerves we'll in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She relieved the miserable and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe all tho world wicked and
unkind.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discouraged
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and DOW that old age
has come to her, and there is a halo
of white hair about her head, she is
loved and considered. This is the
secret of a long life and a happy one

the naval officers on duty in Wash

ne much so as many Of the $4,000

combine this heavy armour and
light draft it has been necessary to
sacrifice speed with the result that
the new vessels will have a maxi
mum speed of not over sixteen knots
an hour. All modern European
naval vessels are being designed 90
have maximum speed of ninateen
knots so that they would be able TO
sail all round vessels of the Idaho

coal carrying capacity of the new
vessels will be small so that the con

necessitated. Admiral Melville,

alton bill which necessitates build
ing this class of vessel.

Colombia congress- fails to promptly
ratify the treaty the states of Pana-
ma and Uauca, both Of which are on
the isthmus, will seoede from the
main country. While it il probable
that such secession would be resisted
70 some extent it is doubtful IL the
resistance would be successful. The
Northern portion Of the Andes
practically cuts of all communica-
tiOn between these two states and
the rest Of the country by land and
the Colombia government has no
navy. Moreover the government is
bankrupt and could hardly raise the
funds TO carry on a war. The two
states named would make a country
larger than the republic Of Costa
Rica and all Of the inhabitants favor
the construction OF the canal. As
the two states would be virtually
divided by the canal zone there
would be almost two countries after
the canal was built and it is probable
that a peaceful and prosperous little
republic which could easily meet
its necessities with the $3.50, 900 an
nuity which this country will pay
as rental for the canal would result
from such a revolution.

Treatment of Woodlotn

The U. s. department of agricul-
ture has just issued a bulletin entitled
the Woodlot, designed to give hints
as to the proper manner of treating
second growth woods to make them
yield larger returns in the long run
than are possible under the present
methods. The idea is to cut out the
saplings which are crooked or crowd
ing or Of less value as timber so that
the better woods may thrive. It is
in short intelligence applied to wood
cutting and the several methods are
well illustrated by cuts which give
an excellent idea Of the process OF
thinning to prove Of the greatest
benefit.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

What the French call "a bad
quarter Of an hour" awaited the
president Monday. He promised TO
entertain the national committee Of
the B'nai Birth, the greatest Jewish
organization in the world. and listen
to their protests against the treat
ment Of their fellow countrymen at
Kishenev. That this interview with
she prominent Hebrews WHO called
on him was embarrassing the presi-
dent fully appreciated. He has con-
suited Secretary Hay and Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador,
is unable TO 6nd grounds which,
from a diplomatic standpoint, will
warrant anything in the nature of a
protest TO Russia and yet his entire
sympathies are with the Jews and
If he could he would gladly comply
with their wishes and express to
to Russia horror with which he has
learned of the Kishenev atrocities
Mr.. Roosevelt also appreciates that
aside from the diplomatic aspect Of
the situation this country. at least
to some extent. lives in a glass
house. Our own record is not with
out blot. Only recently a colored
man was burned and shot in a
western state and lynchings. riot
ings and 0ynamitings within the
past year have been numerous. The
federal government does all in its
power to correct these abuses hut
cannot prevent them and that is the
profession of Russia 80 that whether
we believe in Russia's sincerity or
not we can hardly affront her by an
expression Of open incredulity.

Automatic Baby Nurse.

A Swiss mechanic claims to have in
vented an automatic baby nurse. The
apparatus is attached to a cradle. If
the baby cries, air waves cause spe-
cially arranged wires to operate a
photograph, which sings a lullaby,
while simultaneously clockwork is re
leased and rocks the cradle. When
the crying stops the wires cease to vi
brate and the cradle stops rocking.
