Inquiries are making about the sending of young men from Brazil, Chile, anu even from Colombia to colleges here, and one pro- motor is in New York seeking business arrangements, which will permit young Venezuelans to obtain positions by which they may support themselves by work during the day, and enter upon study at night. The news of the canal treaty, and the digging of the ditch by American money appears to have set loose the whole liberal element of these Latin countries.

4 FRENCH PENSION QUESTION.

France has an interesting pension question. M. Thomson, in his report to the French Chamber on the budget of the finance ministry, examines at length the question. of the majorats, that is, the pensions bestowed by the Emperor Napoleon at the beginning of last century, which are still paid. In agreement with the Budget Committee, NJ. Thomson demands their suppression, arguing that they are contrary to com mon law and political equity. He pro- poses that for the current year the credit for majorats should be reduced by 50,00O francs. Speaking in the Bud get Cemmittee on this question, M. Rouvier, the Finance minister, protested against any action which might injure the credit of the State. The first act of the Assembly in 1TS9. on June r, he said, was to place the creditors of the State 'under the safeguard of the honor and loyalty of the French nation Of the Td6 majorats created by Napoleon, only 37 still remain in existence, the rest having lapsed for want of direct heirs. Two majoratS created by Louis

PROPER AsPIKATIOx.

One doesn't have to live in New Ha- ven to have longings for a higher life. In the district court of Allen county, Kansas, woman sets up in her divorce petition that her husband refused to take her into Society,""
 The minimizing who read this will immediately say that it isn't good cause for divorce that man wont take his wife into Society in Allen county, Kansas. But that will only show that they are minimizing. Why shouldn't a woman want to go into Society in Allen county. Kansas, as much as in New Haven, Connecticut? It is all the Society there is for this woman, and it is, if not the goal for her ambition, the first long step toward that goal. The husband who tries to keep an aspiring wife out of Society in Kansas or else where knows not what he does, and he usually finds, as the husband in this case Will, that he doesn't do much. We expect to read soon that this Kansas woman, divorced or undivorceG, is in the Society which she is doubtless fitted to adorn and shine in. As for the churl- isa husband, he doesn't deserve a sec- ehd thought or second mention, and he probably wont get either He is but as fly, or a flea, on the chariot wheel of progress.

ONCE MORE.

"NSG MUbS,
 People hate to give up the notion that arbitration is good thing in labor troubles, and so bill providing for ar- oltration is going to be introduced and pushed in congress. The author of the Dill is Volney W. Foster, assistant treasurer of the Republican National Committee. MT. Fosters idea is based on the scientific manipulation of public sentiment to compel the arbitration of strikes. Of course there can be no such thing as law establishing compulsory arbitration, but MT. Foster claims that his bill will have this effect. The measure. which is to be introduced in the senate by Senator Cullom, and in the house by Representative Foss, pro- vides for the establishment of com- mission of seven or nine men to con- slider strike difficulties when requested to do so by the parties involved. The whole success or failure of the arbitra- tien scheme will depend on the charac- ter of the men selected to fill the places on the commission. MT. Foster thinks they should be on par with the judges of the Supreme court and members of the cabinet, both as regards abilities, integrity and pay. He wants the men to be above the suspicion of partisan ship, and of such a high character that their decisions will be unquestioned. He hopes that the President, who is to appoint the members of the proposed commission, will be able to get men like Cleveland, Edward Ever cit Hale and Senator Hoar to serve. This commission will be ready at all times to use its offices in the arbitra- tion of any labor strike, provided, of course, that both parties in the contro- versy request the commission to act. It is believed that the knowledge of the existence of such commission will create sentiment strong enough to compel the parties in an industrial strike of great importance to the peo- pie to submit their differences to arbi- tration. Part of the scheme is to pre- pare a monthly bulletin which shall contain official statements from the commission as events from time to time may require their publicity. For in- stance, through this bulletin the com will make public the fact that one of the parties to an agreement has broken it's bond. The columns of the bulletin will always be open to the op- posing sides in a strike, so that one or both may make an official statement and submit request for arbitration. The publication of this news, it is be- lieved, would crystalline public senti- ment so that it could be used as force to compel the other side to the contro- versy to agree to arbitration.
 It may well be doubted that this ar bitration scheme will work any better than Connecticut's arbitration scheme has worked, but there's nothing like making experiments until everybody is satisfied.

 better than control by a distant or ganization. The association will also
 undertake to afford market in Arneri- ca for goods manufactured by mission aries and their helpers on the mission stations. Profits from the sale of goods will be employed to further gospel lteach- ing and preaching. The scheme was put into tentative shape by a meeting held last May, and has just made a be- ginning as an organized effort by apply ing for Incorporation. The favor with which the idea of industrial missions is regarded is shown by the fact that Con-

Apparently there were schools of snorthand as early as the third cen- tury, and in Egypt. A recently discov- cred papyrus, according to the London Chronicle, was a contract between a shorthand teacher and a man who wished one of his slaves to acquire the art. The fee was 120 drachmae, forty to be paid on apprenticeship, forty at the end of & year, and the balance when the slave was proficient. Short hand writing was then presumably not so easy of attainment as it is now. Among the other documents of the oxrhynchus Papyri is the account of fatal accident, and of the body of the

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle Of Chamberlain's
COUCH Remedy.

When I had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) | actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlains Cough Remedy" says Frank
w. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, of
Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
full of this remedy, and when the cough.
ing spell would come on at night |
would take a dose and il seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and | would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its ac-
c~ompanying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as a most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. | had
no idea that it would or could knock
out the grip, simply because / had
lever tried it for such a purpose. but it
did, and it seemed with the second at
tack of coughing the remedy caused it
to not only be of less duration, but the
pains were far less severe, and l had
not used the contents of one bottle be-
fore Mr., Grip had bid me adieu." For

the statement that the Kilties "are not
