 The penalty is not heavy, 1t is true, for court or jury might make both the fine and Imprisonment so low that the punishment would be merely nominal but, as The Hartford Courant observes "the infiction of 1t in even half-a-dozen cases would be wholesomely educative and deterrent" Even a light fine and a short term of imprisonment, added to the worry, expense and uncertainty of trial would have a good effect In preventing boycotts and other acts of like kind.

WHY WORRY ABOUT IT.

Why should the German Government or German oficials fly into a passion be- cause our Dewey said the United States navy could whip that of Germany? And why should anybody on this side blame the Admiral for saying it? Boosting Is one of the time-honored and inaliena ole privileges of American citizens. They began 1t before the war of the Revolution and after independence was assured they bragged more than ever. And they have usually made good their claims and tabished their right to brag. No use trying to choke off a genuine American citizen when he sees or thinks he sees something to brag about
 And in the case of the words used by Dewey do not all of us admit that he was right? He only said in possibly undiplomatic language that our navy can whip Germany's, and no patriotic Ameri- can will gainsay 1t. He was not talking for publication nor was he giving out an official deliverance. He was merely using the American privilege of saying what he thinks, and what all of us be- lieve, for that matter.
 For we all do believe 1t. It has been proven on every sea and in all waters that American seamen and American of ficers are the best fighters in the world. The habit of whipping the other fellow has come down to us through Paul Jones and Lawrence, Decatur and Perry and a host of other sea-dogs who carried the stars and stripes to victory in many seas and in many glorious encounters. Naval victories come to us of this day as a rightful inheritance from those who sur prised the civilized world of other days by defying the great navies of older coun- tries and by winning victories from some of their best commanders. If we brag of our naval superiority we have some thing to back us up in 1t.
 But, as we said, Dewey was, as he thought. talking as an individual. and didn't suppose his words would be re- peated and get all the way to Germany. If he had known this he night have been more tactful or diplomatic, perhaps, though we are not sure of it. But we apprehend no dangerous international complications Germany is not going to try to stir up a war just to prove If Dewey was right or wrong-especially as she would be pretty sure to learn that he was right But we stand up to the Admiral, and if he wants to we beg that he say 1t again.

WOMEN AS AUTHORS.
Feminine Traits Can Be Detected 1T
 Literature.

London Mail.
 The correspondence in our columns re- garding women as authors dscloses a definite objection to distinguishing them as such from men. It is argued that since both men and women write they should be judged as authors simply, without ref erence to the sex. In the same way, it is known that strenuous opposition has been raised on behalf of women to the em- ployment of the word "poetess' We know what a poet is.' say the complain etess is certainly not a pretty word, but it's use is quite defensible.
 Nevertheless, it is certain that women have from time to time assumed men s names in order to escape the condemna- tion of prejudice which they imagined | would attach to their frank declaration of sex. Conspicuous examupleS are, of course George Eliot. George Sand the BrOntes and in more modern days sundry other Georges. Why is George the favor ite feminine alias?
 At the same time these writers need not have been so foolish as to imagine that the assumption of a male pseudonyn would conceal their sex, AS well might the ostrich conceive that he is disguised by burying hs head in the sand. The fact remains (and is beyond the region of dis pute) that feminine traits are unmistak- able and cannot be denied. With all It's strong barbaric qualities. who would take "Wuthering Heights for the work of a man? It is on another footing, or a plain wholly distinct. for woman is not unde- veloped man. but diverse" and nothing can hide the fact.
 One imagines. however that few women are really anxious to do so. If ti be true that no woman has written a great novel or painted a great picture or created any thing really great (which is a hard say ing), 1t Is certainly true that women ac- complishh certain forms of work which men cannot adventure. The impress of sex must abide on artistic work, partic- ularly literary work. And, after all. why not? And who assumes feminine work as necessarily inferior.

Origin of "Canard. 7"

Here is a newspaper derivation of the word "canard." A canard means in French. duck; in English 1t has come to mean hoax or fabricated newspaper story. Its origin is amusing About fifty years ago French journalist contributed to the French press an experiment of which he declared himself to have been the author. Twenty ducks were placed to- gether. and one of them. having been cut up into very small pieces. was gluttonous- ly gobbled up by the other nineteen. An other bird was then sacrificed for the re- mainder. and so on until one duck was left, which thus contained in its inside ate. The story caught on, and was copied in all the newspapers of Europe. And thus the "canard' became immortalized

THE TYPHOID GERM.

Do we really know anything about microbes? and by "we'' the whole human family, doctors and all Is meant. Of course these latter know a great deal more than people did years ago. but somehow or other they don't always seem to know 1t right. Here's the eminent German, Koch. for example, who was generally looked on as a kind of cyclo- pedia of microbic knowledge taking the back track about the typhoid bacillus. He once thought this germ possessed what he designates "saprophytic life," meaning that it would retain its vitality long time in water and then when it reached a soft and rich soil it would live and multiply for years. ready at all times to start afresh in human beings
 But the Doctor now admits that he was mistaken and that the period of this germs vitality in water is very short He thinks that in a moist soil with a free admixture of excremented matter they may retain their vitality for a month. or even a whole winter" This is quite different from the former theory that these deadly germs were of such nature that. like Milton's angels in Para disc Lost, they "cannot but by annhilat- ing die" It was claimed that neither cold nor change of climate or location could affect them. but that they would live in the earth or in water for years and were always ready to get in their deadly work on the human family.
 Well, we suppose the medical man must learn and unlearn just as others do, but If Dr. Koch was mistaken about the typhoid bacillus may not he and others be in error as to all other germs? If they arc they will be compelled to get up new crop of theories to account for some of the peculiarities of disease, and then they will not be sure that their knowledge is going to last. However, the admission of the German that he was in error and that he has found out where his error lay is a step forward and may lead to further and important dis coveries about the little things which are causing so much bother among medical | men as we'll as laymen. We I've and | learn.

He was then own CT of newspaper, but was not sufficient ly wealthy to meet his weekly payroll, so he, used to swap checks with a friend who had good bank account.
